Fifty-One: Kimchi (2)
Standing beside the old man with a smile, he raised his head and said, "Old man, can the price be cheaper?" ”
The old man who pulled the cart hurriedly shook his head when he heard this: "No, it won't work, you can't make a lot of spare money by pulling a cart on weekdays." "The old man is old, there are not many people in the family, although the daughter-in-law and son have work on weekdays, the old woman goes early, and the grandchildren are lively and cute.
There is not much input, although it is just enough to control food and drink, but it is not rich, and a few boys can't eat meat a few times a year, and the old man is also distressed when he sees it.
There is an ox cart at home, which is brought from the countryside when he enters the city, and he is idle on weekdays, and the old man can't sit still at home, so he just comes out to pull light goods for others and earn two spare money.
However, there is really not much work, and there is naturally not much money.
Lin Xiang said: "In this way, if you can make it cheaper, you will be allowed to come to the food and dishes of our restaurant in the future."
Lin Xiang had this trouble before.
Buying vegetables or something in the restaurant, always Ah Fu and Hancui go out, it seems very troublesome, and you can't buy a lot at one time, if you go to the side of the market to find a car to pull the goods, the price is extremely expensive. Most of the people pulling the cart are young and strong young men, and they are also very eye-catching.
The old man's asking price is not high, three copper plates for one trip.
The distance from the market to their restaurant is not close, and it takes about half an hour to walk, and it is not easy to carry a lot of vegetables in your hands.
Lin Xiang could see that this old man was a sincere person, and Ah Fu and Hancui's eyesight was also good.
Sure enough, hearing Lin Xiang say this, the old man's eyes lit up, and the expression on his face softened slightly.
Finally. The old man responded to Lin Xiang's request.
Lin Xiang naturally didn't dare to make more guarantees because she was not the boss of this restaurant after all, but Lin Xiang said: "Three times a week, our restaurant must buy food, and there are a lot of things to buy at that time, and if you can't pull it back, we will definitely go to you." ”
Although Hancui and Ah Fu go to buy in the morning, most of them sell things that need to be used in time.
Three times!
Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
I can't help but start counting how much money I can make in my heart!
At the end, the old man was naturally full of smiles.
"If it's a heavy thing, the price is different, if it's a light thing, it's two pennies a trip!" Lin Xiang finalized it like this.
Ah Fu and Han Cui looked at the interaction between Lin Xiang and the old man with some confusion while removing things from the old man's ox cart.
"Done!" Finally, the old man should go!
Lin Xiang smiled, took out two copper plates from his pocket and handed them to the old man.
Two copper plates, no more, no less, if the price of a trip, but it is cheap, it is inevitable that people feel that they have suffered a loss, but it is ...... Three times a week, for an old man who can't find a job, it is really not easy to get six wen a week.
In the market on weekdays, the carts are pulled by some young and strong young men, where will anyone look for an old man like him?
Pinch his fingers, his son only earns about 40 yuan a month, and he can get more than 20 yuan in the account after a few trips of goods.
After all the things were moved, the old man left with a smile.
Lin Xiang felt that he had earned himself, and when he turned around, he said this to Feng Ming.
Feng Ming frowned at first.
Seeing this, Lin Xiang was nervous at first, thinking that Feng Ming did not agree with her decision to do this privately, and couldn't help but be a little afraid, because at least twenty-four yuan of silver for a month was not paid by her.
However, before she had time to worry, she saw that Feng Ming had already stretched his brows and said: "Originally, I also thought about this matter, the restaurant opens early on weekdays, and Ah Fu and Hancui are gone for a few hours, and it is really annoying that guests sometimes come but can't eat." ”
This has happened in the past, that is, after Ah Fu and Han Cui Cai bought back, there were often a few customers who couldn't wait to leave to work.
This situation made Feng Ming so annoyed, just thinking about it, the best way was to hire an ox cart.
Most of the people who pull the cart ask for a lot of money, from the market to the restaurant, one trip actually drove four Wen!
Feng Ming was naturally reluctant, and after such a calculation, nearly sixty silver coins slipped away in a month-
"That's it."
The ox cart that Lin Xiang was looking for had halved the price at one time, but Feng Ming still paid for a mere twenty yuan, and besides, if he bought the vegetables earlier in the morning, the guests would probably increase a little.
Lin Xiang wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and then sighed.
……
Ah Fu and Han Cui pulled a large number of dishes and jars into the kitchen.
Lin Xiang first commanded the two to divide the things, and then took advantage of the early morning, Ah Fu and Han Cui began to deal with the pickles because they had called the ox cart back.
"Hot water to boil, and it must be cooled!" Lin Xiang frowned, and hurriedly stopped Hancui, who was about to put cabbage in the boiling hot water.
Hancui stuck out her tongue and quickly retracted her busy hand.
"Ah Fu, be careful when putting salt, if you put too much, the kimchi will not be sour." Lin Xiang leaned over to Ah Fu's side and said carefully.
I saw Ah Fu's palm turned to the side, reduced the amount of salt on some spoons, and then added it to the water in the clay pot.
The cabbage and radish were quickly washed and cut by Lin Xiang and Ah Fu, and then drained the water stains as much as possible.
Busy here, Lin Xiang is already a big man.
She stood up, reached out and wiped the sweat beads on her forehead, and said with a smile: "You two don't have to work for a while, it's been a morning, you haven't eaten anything, and you're about to open the door, let's eat something first, otherwise you won't be able to bear it for a while." ”
As soon as Lin Xiang finished saying this, in an instant, Ah Fu and Han Cui began to feel hungry in their stomachs.
Hurriedly stopped what they were doing, Hancui and Ah Fu stood up, and stepped aside to wash their hands.
Lin Xiang added cabbage and shredded radish to the hot oil pot.
The whole kitchen was suddenly filled with smoke.
I pinched a little pork foam and added it to the oil pan, and the spoon waved.
Suddenly, the smell of pork and vegetables wafted out.
There were thick noodles that had been boiled long ago on one side, Lin Xiang grabbed a few handfuls and threw them into the oil pot-
"Crackling-" The oil star erupted, spewing outward, and the fragrance was everywhere.
Green onion, garlic, sauce -
The spoon flipped back and forth a few times, but it was only a moment's effort, and the fried noodles with a crystal oily glow, a stream of aroma and a light brown color came out of the pot.
