Chapter 239: New Business Opportunities
So Gong Jian immediately felt the business opportunity here, so he was like being shot in the arm, even if it was snowing heavily, he had to implement this matter as soon as possible. That's why he came to the town to find a blacksmith in the snow today.
After getting the main prop of hot pot, Gong Jian's heart also became steady. He is confident that using this new way of eating hot pot will bring him and his family a huge fortune.
With such a big motivation, he started to make other preparations when he got home. First, from his cellar, he turned out two cabbages, a few potatoes, pumpkins, and sweet potatoes. I found out some dried mushrooms dried this year, as well as daylilies dried at home in autumn.
When Gong Jian came back from the town, he bought two large herring fish and half a fan of mutton from the market. He plans to cut one of the large herring into thin slices, and the other will be directly chopped into meat puree, adding starch, and planning to make fish balls.
As for the mutton, he first froze it outside, and planned to get up in the morning on the tenth day, and then patiently cut the mutton into thin slices.
After planning these, he still felt that there was still something missing in this hot pot. If you want to talk about basic information, he also found seven, seven, eighty, eight. Don't think about beef, farming here mainly depends on cattle, and it is basically impossible to eat beef.
As for the green vegetables, Gong Jian couldn't find them either. After all, it's winter, and if you want to eat some cabbage, you have to rely on cellaring. Leafy greens are simply impossible to find. Gong Jian always felt that there seemed to be some way in his mind to grow green vegetables in winter.
But he was afraid that after doing that, it would be too noticeable to reverse the seasons. So all along, he only made a fuss about some food. Eating, although it may seem inconspicuous, is an unavoidable thing for everyone.
Gong Jian made some things, others only thought that his own taste was more tricky, after all, all the raw materials he used were originally accessible to everyone on a daily basis. So although the food made by Gong Jian always tastes a little different, the recipe is fresh and diverse. But no one really doubts his actions.
But if he can grow summer vegetables in winter, this is not a small fight, but it is, not only will he not attract wealth to the family, but he will be in trouble if he is not careful. Therefore, even though Gong Jian felt that his preparation was not very perfect, he did not force it too much.
Time flew by, and soon the day came when he made an appointment with the king blacksmith. Early in the morning, Gong Jian prepared the ingredients and brought his younger siblings to the town. The temperature is still very low, but at least the heavy snow has long since stopped, and although there is still snow on the road, it is much better than last time.
Gong Jian first took his younger siblings to Tian Kee's grocery store and asked them to arrange the meat and vegetables they brought with Tian Shopkeeper. He went out to the blacksmith shop to get the pot he had promised.
When Gong Jian came to the blacksmith shop this time, he immediately found that it was completely different from before, and there was silence in the shop. He was still wondering, and as soon as he entered the door, he found that the blacksmith Wang was sitting on the Taishi chair facing the door of the shop.
As soon as he saw Gong Jian enter the door, Wang Blacksmith immediately stood up from his chair, and without waiting for Gong Jian to speak, he strode over to meet him.
"Gong boy, you're here. I built your pot, and it finally lived up to its trust. ”
In the past few days, the blacksmith Wang has also been tortured enough by this new pot, he has made a guarantee before, rushed to work for a few days, and finally completed the last process last night.
So early this morning, he sent away two apprentices to rest. These two people have been helping him, and they haven't been home for many days. Today, Blacksmith Wang has been waiting for Gong Jian to come and get the goods. If it weren't for the friendship of the shopkeeper Tian, he would have thought that Gong Jian was looking at their shop unpleasantly, and he was deliberately looking for trouble.
After the pot was made, the king blacksmith observed it many times. But no matter how he looked at it, it was all a strange pot, and he didn't know how this thing could sit on the stove and cook.
When Gong Jian heard the blacksmith Wang say that the pot was ready, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
"Blacksmith Wang, that's great. You are really skillful, and my pot is what you can build. It's all thanks to you. ”
"Hahaha, I've been playing iron for a few more years, and I have a little bit of experience. Nothing to blame. ”
Gong Jian's words made Blacksmith Wang a little embarrassed. At the same time, I was glad in my heart, and I still built the pot in the end, or he would have released his words, but he didn't do it, and his old face was not guaranteed.
The two didn't say much to each other, and the blacksmith Wang led Gong Jian to see the finished product. As soon as he entered the room next to him, Gong Jian immediately saw the copper hot pot on the table.
Blacksmith Wang really has real skills, and this copper hot pot is exactly the same as what Gong Jian has in his head. He took two quick steps and reached out his hand to check.
Gong Jian checked the hot pot inside and out, although there were still some traces of building on the hot pot, it did not affect the use of the hot pot, and he was already very satisfied.
"Okay, okay, you're doing a great job in this pot. Thank you so much. After Gong Jian finished speaking, he had to pay the money and settle the rest of his wages.
But the king blacksmith pressed his hand to take out the money: "Brother Gong, don't be busy, not busy." ”
Gong Jian was surprised at this time, how could there be people who were not active in collecting money, he thought that Blacksmith Wang had something important to say, but he didn't expect to hear Blacksmith Wang say such a sentence.
"That, Brother Gong, can you tell me first, how to use this pot. ”
This question has been bothering Blacksmith Wang for many days, and as soon as he asked, he looked at Gong Jian with burning eyes, If you don't say it, don't want to leave here.
Gong Jian relaxed when he heard Blacksmith Wang's question. This problem is easy to solve. He spoke quickly.
"No problem, Blacksmith Wang, if you have time, you can go to Uncle Tian's shop with me. My brother and sister are preparing there first, and today I will use this pot to invite you to lunch. ”
When Blacksmith Wang heard Gong Jian's words, he immediately became happy: "Okay, I'm okay today, let's go." ”
The two came to Tian Ji grocery store with a smile and a smile, and Gong Jian found that not only his younger brothers and sisters, but also Tian's shopkeeper, the guys in the store were there, and there were still customers waiting for him. That person was none other than the chief shopkeeper of all the restaurants managed by Tian Kee.
At this time, a few people who stayed in the grocery store were already in the Tian shopkeeper's room, and they had put a large table full of ingredients for eight immortals. In the middle of the table, according to Gong Jian's instructions, a piece of open space flowed out, just waiting for the copper hot pot.
