Chapter 22 Selling Sauerkraut
But which one to sell this sauerkraut fish should be considered first. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info"Dad, you deliver food to the street every day. Which one do you think has a good business? These are the ones you sent. Lin Yujuan asked.
"I sent two businesses that are okay, but one is more famous for making morning tea. The other doesn't make morning tea, but specializes in lunch and dinner. Lin Guilu thought about it carefully and said two things.
"It seems that sauerkraut fish is still suitable for cooking. Which hotel is it? Lin Yujuan asked again.
"Jufu Building, I also think his house is more suitable." Lin Guilu also agreed.
"Then it's decided, my brother will go to Gu Lao first, let's order the fish. Blue or black fish will do. Don't be too big, about two catties. We didn't have much to do in the past two days to try to knit. Locks, I'll weave them for you first. Happy, right? Lin Yujuan asked Little Brother Lin.
"Well, that sister, you hurry up and weave. Let me put on new clothes too. Brother Lin said very seriously. Poor baby, growing up hardly wearing new clothes.
In the afternoon, the family had nothing to do, and Lin Guilu went to the fields to take a walk. Lin Yukou took Lin Xiaodi out to play. The three of Qi's mother and daughter are still doing some needlework and knitting clothes at home. Lin Yujuan knitted a sweater for her younger brother this time, thinking that she would knit it a little bigger, and she would have to be able to wear it for a year or two. He took out four longer rod needles and measured the width of his brother's clothes as he got up. After getting up, it is still knitted up and down. She was going to get the needle up and down or continue with the flat needle. Who called her stupid, she didn't study hard in her previous life. It will not weave patterns, and it can be colored horizontally at that time. The red black is also estimated to be good. Simple and good-looking. The three of them took turns weaving, and by the time they cooked dinner in the evening, they were four or five inches long.
Early the next morning, Boss Gu sent a three-pound herring. Qi thought that before lunch, the fish fillet would be marinated, and then his family would finish eating early and make the fish and send it to the town, just after the lunch in the hotel. So he told Lin Guilu to come back quickly after delivering the pickles, and he would go to the street again at noon.
When Lin Guilu came back at noon, he made sauerkraut fish at home, put it in a deep-mouthed crockpot, and covered it with a bowl on top. Put it in a straw insulated frame, and then wrap it in an old cotton jacket and put it on the boat. Take out a few handfuls of sauerkraut from the jar and bring them with you. I also brought a few pickled peppers. They are all packed in small jars. Lin Yujuan and Lin Yukou also went with them.
As soon as Lin Guilu and the other two children got on the boat, they rowed up quickly, and when they arrived in the town, the crockpot was still hot. Lin Guilu held the wrapped crockpot and led Lin Yukou and Lin Yujuan all the way to Jufu Building. When they entered, there was still a table of guests eating in the lobby of the hotel. The boss is behind the counter settling accounts. I looked up and saw Lin Guilu coming over with someone I didn't know what again. Didn't you just come in the morning?
"Second Brother Lin, what is the matter with you coming here now? What kind of baby are you holding in your arms? "The owner is also curious about what it is.
"Boss Wang, I'm here to bother again. How about talking in your back kitchen? Lin Guilu also said hello to the boss.
"Okay, okay, this way. Li San'er, you are here to greet the guests. As he spoke, he led Lin Guilu and the three of them to the back.
When he arrived in the kitchen, Lin Guilu took off his padded jacket and put the crockpot and straw basket on the board. Pour all the sauerkraut fish from the crockpot into a porcelain basin. Boss Wang saw that of course he understood, took the chopsticks and took a slice of fish and tasted it, and then tasted sauerkraut. "The taste is good, the fillet is smooth and tender, sour and spicy, although a little spicy but acceptable. It's just right to eat in winter. ”
"Brother Lin, what do you mean by giving me this fish?" This Boss Wang also guessed their intentions in his heart, and still asked uncertainly.
"Hehe, Boss Wang, you are in the hotel business. What do you mean by me giving you this dish? I want to sell it to you. Lin Guilu said.
"The dish is good, how do you want to sell it? Isn't this just boiled fish fillet with pickles, I'll see if you just put more seasoning and more oil. I understood it all at first glance. "Boss Wang wants to buy it, so he naturally has to flatten it hard.
"Uncle, if you call the chef and cook it according to me, you'll know. It's definitely not as delicious as mine. Lin Yujuan interjected on the side.
"Master Li, how about you come over and have a taste?" Boss Wang called the chef who was standing aside.
The greasy-looking chef also stepped forward to pick out a slice of fish with his chopsticks, and after tasting the fish, he tasted the sauerkraut. At the end, I drank a sip of soup.
"How's that, can you make it?" Boss Wang asked his chef anxiously.
"Boss, this pickle is not the same as usual. It's sour and crispy, and this fish fillet, and it's not just a piece that has this taste. I guess we made it ourselves, and it tasted really bad. "This Master Li really said the key point.
"Master Li, you are so amazing, this is a sauerkraut in my house, not a pickle. It's a little different from pickling pickles. Lin Guilu didn't forget to praise the chef.
"Won the prize, boss, I think this dish should sell well. It's just right to eat this winter. It's been a long time since we've launched a new menu. Why don't we try it? "Master Li didn't forget to help when he got a compliment.
"Lin Lao Er, you said that this pickle is only available in your family? So you can only buy it with your family? Boss Wang asked.
"Yes, Boss Wang, you are well-informed. Is there anything you don't know about this Qintong Town? Lin Guilu said.
"Okay, then how do you sell this sauerkraut? After buying sauerkraut, you taught me how to make fish? "Boss Wang wants to learn to cook fish for free.
"It's not expensive for me to sell you, five cents a pound. But you can't teach you how to make fish. Lin Guilu had already heard the girl say at home that the dishes should not be given in vain. It's better to sell it for more or less money.
"What, I bought your sauerkraut, why did I buy it if you didn't teach me how to do it?" Of course, Boss Wang is not willing to pay another money.
"Ah, Boss Wang, if I sell this sauerkraut fish, you won't sell others. And the sauerkraut will only be sold to you from this year to next fall, how about it? "What Lin Guilu means by this is that if you don't buy it, you can sell it to others.
"That's it~" Of course, Boss Wang understood what Lin Guilu meant. "Then how do you sell this dish?"
"Two taels of silver." Lin Guilu received.
"It's so expensive, a tael. Tomorrow I'll send five pounds to try it out. I'll give you the money, and you can teach the chef how to make sauerkraut fish. "Boss Wang's counteroffer was really ruthless, and he cut it in half.
"Okay, one or two is one or two, who taught us to cook it. My sour radish is also good, and it can also be cooked. It's not just a side dish. Let's go to the front and wait first, Yujuan, you teach the master to cook. Lin Guilu couldn't earn a tael of silver a month, and remembered that there were still a lot of sour radishes at home and didn't forget to sell them again. After he finished speaking, he took Lin Yukou to the front hall and waited for the silver.
Here, Lin Yujuan taught Master Li to make sauerkraut fish. Fortunately, there was a black fish in the fish in the store, so I used it. Lin Yujuan commanded, and Master Li worked. After teaching, I didn't forget to say to Master Li, "Master Li, this sour radish is also delicious to cook." The stewed duck is particularly fragrant, why don't you try it? Let's just say you came up with it yourself. ”
When Master Li heard what this girl said, he said in his heart, "Such a young girl is really good at talking, and she knows that I will sell it in front of the boss." If it becomes a natural one, her family's radish will not be sold. ”
"Okay, little girl, I'll try." This is something that is beneficial to both parties, and Master Li will not refuse. Chef Li is a chef in the end, and he quickly made it under Lin Yujuan's guidance. It tasted even better than what she brought from home. Naturally, everyone was happy with the result.
Lin Guilu saw that he had finished cooking and went home with a pair of children. On the boat, Lin Yujuan thought about the end of the month, and she didn't know how much income she would have this month. asked Lin Guilu, "Dad is going to collect the account in two days, how much did he earn?" ”
Lin Guilu said in his heart, this is really a little money fan, "The account book is in your cabin, isn't it?" Do the math yourself. When Lin Yujuan heard this, she turned out the account book and calculated the account with Lin Yukou. Although the number is not large, it will take a while for this catty, two catties, and half catties to be counted. From the first day of selling pickles to twenty-five days now, a total of 143 catties have been sold. A total of 715 wen was obtained from five wen per catty. I got a tael of silver for selling vegetables just now, and there were a total of thirty pairs of gloves, except for one pair, which was sold for fourteen yuan, and the rest were fifteen yuan. There are 449 texts in total. I've earned two or three taels of silver this month. The cost is cotton money, and if you buy fish, you don't count it for household use, and if you don't sell these, you will also have to spend money. There are still five catties of black cotton thread that I haven't brought back. Next month, the sauerkraut will also start to be sold, although it is estimated that it will be about the same if there is less than one or two silver for the vegetable selling style.
After calculating the money, he began to muttered to his brother how to distribute the money earned by the family. Parents have a lot to do in it, and they may all keep it for their children. It seems that we will have to negotiate the distribution ratio when we go back. There was no word along the way, and the three of them soon returned home. Before he entered the house, he heard Brother Lin's high-pitched and excited voice asking:
"Really? Mom, are you serious? ”
"Really, lie to you what to do. Winter solstice dumplings to eat. Qi solemnly told his youngest son.
"Why do you want to eat dumplings? Will you pack? This is no one else who is questioning, it is Lin Guilu. He is still strange, he has been married for so many years, and the children are ten years old, and he has never seen his mother-in-law make dumplings.
"Of course I will, did you forget that I told you that my dad moved from Shandong to Yancheng?" Qi did not allow her husband to question herself.
"Okay, then wait until the winter solstice to eat the dumplings you made." Lin Guilu didn't argue with the Qi clan either. She said okay.
Of course, the children were both skeptical and expectant. They haven't eaten dumplings at home since they're so old. There is a rolling pin at home, but I occasionally see my mother rolling noodles. People in this area rarely eat pasta, but wheat is planted, and the flour is occasionally made into a rolling noodles. It's okay to spread a cake or something. I've never seen dumplings before. During the New Year, it is eaten with rice balls. The neighbors around them didn't have a rolling pin, so they borrowed it from their own house if they needed it occasionally.
