Chapter 10
Zhao is not a stupid person, she immediately understood what Jiang Wanbai meant, she suddenly rushed to Tian Laosi's side, and while beating Tian Laosi, she said angrily: "You are a dead person, that thing is not only delicious, but also can replenish the body, saying that it is reserved for my mother, and my mother's nephew and daughter-in-law, how can you say that you can sell it." ”
Speaking of this, her voice became louder, and she also cried, "Pity my mother who is almost sixty years old, she loves to eat this bite, and my nephew and daughter-in-law, who are pregnant, are waiting for this thing to replenish their bodies, and my sister, who has no milk after giving birth to a child, just waiting for this thing to give milk, why are you Lao Tian so ruthless."
I'm out of luck marrying you. As she spoke, she howled fiercely, and the high voice almost summoned the entire bazaar.
Jiang Wanbai looked at Zhao who worked so hard, and almost wanted to laugh out loud, but she didn't see that this Zhao was actually an acting genius.
What an old lady, what a sister, she really knows how to say, how can she remember that she broke off with her mother's family at all. But she is not wrong about one thing, this shrimp paste is made of shrimp, which contains a lot of calcium and protein, which is indeed very nutritious.
With Zhao's words, a large group of people gathered around, and they all asked curiously what was in Tian Laosi's arms.
"It is Zizhi sauce, which is prepared with many ingredients according to the ancestral secret recipe, which can be said to be a dish, a seasoning, and a good thing to replenish the body. Eat it with steamed rice, it is very delicious, and it can make many delicious dishes.
What kind of steamed eggs, stewed tofu, ordinary things, as long as you add a little of this Zizhi sauce, you can't stop eating. ”
Jiang Wanbai finished speaking in one breath, opened the lid of the shrimp paste jar, and used a long chopstick to pick up a little shrimp paste and put it on the lotus leaf that had been prepared, "You can taste it, whether this Zizhi sauce is delicious or not." ”
The reason why Jiang Wanbai calls shrimp sauce Zizhi sauce is that the name sounds very mysterious, very attractive, and can be sold at a good price, and secondly, she still wants to make money from this shrimp sauce.
The shrimp paste is purple-red, and it is called by the green lotus leaf, which is really like a purple mushroom, which is very bluffing.
After speaking, Jiang Wanbai took out the prepared clean bamboo knots and handed them to everyone, so that everyone could taste whether the shrimp paste was delicious or not.
Immediately, some of the people around couldn't hold it back, so they picked up a small bamboo knot and dug a little bit and put it in their mouths.
The rest of the people looked at him curiously, wondering if the strange thing was good or not.
Jiang Wanbai also raised her heart, although this shrimp paste is delicious, it is not guaranteed that everyone likes to eat it, if you happen to meet someone you don't like, it will be bad.
It turned out that Jiang Wanbai's worries were unnecessary. The man tasted a little and immediately exclaimed, "It's delicious." So saying, he reached out and dug up what was left.
As soon as he said this, everyone could not bear it, and they grabbed the small bamboo knot to taste, and in an instant, the walnut-sized lump of shrimp paste was all divided up, and those who did not grab the shrimp paste could only secretly hate themselves for acting too slowly.
"It's delicious." "Delicious." "It's delicious." Praise came one after another.
"Old lady, can your Zizhi sauce really replenish the body?" A person asked with some unease.
"Of course, eating this Zizhi sauce for a long time will keep your waist from soreness, your legs from pain, and you will have the strength to walk." Jiang Wanbai heard too many advertisements, so she opened her mouth and came.
But she didn't tell a lie, the backache and leg pain is a lack of calcium, and it is just right to eat this shrimp paste.
"Old lady, do you want to sell Zizhi sauce, how to sell it?" Someone asked again.
"It's going to be sold, and the family is really short of money." Jiang Wanbai had already inquired about the prices here, and she could buy an egg or two steamed buns for a penny. This place is not far from the capital, and the people are quite wealthy in their hands, so this shrimp paste is priced a little higher to sell.
Taking out the wooden spoon that had been prepared a long time ago, she said, "Twenty cents a spoonful." ”
Twenty yuan is twenty eggs, according to modern standards, that is, more than twenty yuan, and that spoonful is about 200 grams, which is not very expensive, it is a little expensive here, at most it is just to make ordinary people's flesh hurt, but it is not so much that they can't afford it.
Immediately, someone from a wealthy family asked for a spoonful, someone took the lead, Jiang Wanbai's business instantly became popular, so popular that those who were still hesitant joined the ranks of buying, just kidding, if you don't buy the jar, it will be empty.
After a while, a jar of shrimp sauce was sold at all, and people who didn't buy it asked Jiang Wanbai when she would come to sell Zizhi sauce again, Jiang Wanbai said that she would go back and take a look, and try to sell some evenly, and everyone dispersed.
After everyone left, Zhao immediately asked Jiang Wanbai, "Mother, how much did we sell?" ”
When Tian Laosi heard this, he also looked at her with bright eyes, twenty wen a spoonful, just now the Zhang family dug out, the Wang family and the Zhao family packaged, at least thirty or forty copies, thirty or forty points, but it was seven or eight hundred yuan, he had not seen so much money for a long time.
"What's the hurry, I'll go back and tell you." Jiang Wanbai said, flipped the heavy bag full of copper coins, and listened to the sound of copper coins hitting and bumping, only to feel that this was the best sound in the world.
Tian Laosi was a little disappointed, but in an instant, he flattered: "Mother, we came out early in the morning, we didn't even eat breakfast, and now that we have earned money, are we going to eat something delicious?"
After speaking, he couldn't stop looking to the side.
There is a rice seller on the side of the road, selling meat patties, Tian Laosi's meaning is self-evident.
He was hungry, in fact, Jiang Wanbai was also hungry. After taking a look at the meatloaf, I saw that a meatloaf was the size of a bowl, and the thin dough was soaked in oil and soup inside, and the filling inside was almost transparent, and Jiang Wanbai felt even more hungry.
I asked the price, the meatloaf cost ten cents a piece, and when you buy a meatloaf, you can also drink porridge and eat pickles for free. Although this patty is a little more expensive than other foods, it is also expensive for a reason, and it is both meat and oil.
When Jiang Wanbai and a few of them came, a pot of meatloaf had just come out of the pot, and the browned meatloaf was squeaked by the frying, and the aroma of meat and cake overflowed.
"Five meatloaf." Jiang Wan waved her white hand and decided to eat meatloaf today. Sticks and jujubes can ensure the enthusiasm of employees, if these people in the Tian family can make good money, why worry about not having meatloaf to eat in the future.
Of course, it is undeniable that Jiang Wanbai also wants to eat this meatloaf, she doesn't even have an oily one every day, and she is not a nun, so how can she stand it.
"Okay, five meatloaf." The meatloaf seller was also very happy. Because his porridge and pickles are free here, people often buy a meatloaf for two or three people and drink porridge from them.
Although the porridge is very thin, even if they eat some, he doesn't lose money, but it also makes people feel bad, like Jiang Wanbai, there are five meatloaf, which can be regarded as a big customer.
But at this moment, Zhang suddenly said: "Mother, this meatloaf is too expensive." Otherwise, if you eat meatloaf with your fourth brother, I won't eat it. ”
As soon as she said this, Wang immediately said that she would not eat it either.
Jiang Wanbai looked at Zhang like this, she really didn't know what to say, how could there be such a woman, she was too sensible.
But this time, without waiting for Jiang Wanbai to speak, the Zhao family was anxious, the Zhang family and the Wang family didn't eat it, and the meat patty she got also flew away, "Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, my mother let you eat, and you still refused, don't you listen to your mother?" ”
"No, at home..."
"Since you listen to your mother, then sit down and eat." The Zhao family used Jiang Wanbai to pull the banner, and it was not ambiguous at all.
Only then did everyone sit down and eat the meatloaf.
The little brother who sold the meatloaf brought the meatloaf to Jiang Wanbai's table, and asked enthusiastically whether he would help them serve the porridge or Jiang Wanbai and them would serve the porridge themselves.
Jiang Wanbai tossed all morning, a little tired, so she wanted him to help Sheng, but Tian Laosi refused with a shrewd face, and then took the bowl and went to Sheng it herself.
When the porridge was finished, he proudly pointed to the porridge he served and said, "Mother, of course this porridge must be served by yourself, if you let him serve it, it is estimated that there will not even be a grain of rice." Look at the current bowl of porridge, I specially fished the bottom, isn't it very thick? ”
Jiang Wanbai scooped the porridge with a spoon, and there was indeed a layer of millet at the bottom of the bowl, but this is the so-called thick?
"It's fine." Jiang Wanbai was a little noncommittal.
Tian Laosi was a little dissatisfied when he didn't get recognition, but as soon as he saw the meatloaf, that dissatisfaction was immediately left behind.
For a while, there was only the sound of eating meatloaf and drinking porridge.
The meatloaf tastes good, but the meat is a little fat, it belongs to the kind of five-layered one, it tastes fragrant at first, but if you eat too much, you can't do it, Jiang Wanbai feels a little tired after eating half of it, but the millet porridge is very refreshing to drink.
Of course, it is not excluded that Jiang Wanbai, who is old and likes to eat some soup and water, automatically rejects those greasy things. However, Jiang Wanbai selectively ignored this fact, she felt that it must be the reason why she hadn't eaten oil for too long and was tired of it all of a sudden.
Looking up at Zhao and Tian Laosi, the two of them ate with a mouthful of oil, and a piece of meatloaf had almost been wiped out. Looking at Zhang's and Wang's again, although they seem to eat a little more gentle, the speed is not slow, and after a while, there is only the last quarter of the meatloaf left on the plate.
Ay! Jiang Wanbai glanced at the old skin in her hand, sighed lightly, and gave the rest of the meatloaf to Tian Laosi.
It's not that she feels sorry for Tian Laosi, but this meatloaf is only delicious when it's hot, and among these people, Tian Laosi usually eats a large amount, just such a meatloaf, it is estimated that it is enough for him to stuff his teeth.
"Thank you, mother!" Tian Laosi smiled and couldn't see his eyebrows.
When the Zhang family and the Wang family heard Jiang Wanbai sigh, and saw Jiang Wanbai give her meatloaf to Tian Laosi, they immediately blushed, "Mother, I still have a meatloaf here, let's eat it for you." Zhang said.
"Mine too." Wang quickly answered.
Jiang Wanbai was stunned for a moment, but when she saw the two of them's restrained looks, she immediately changed their thoughts, "I can't eat so much, otherwise I will definitely eat, you don't have to think about it, just eat when you should eat." ”
"Mother, the second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law can't eat, otherwise I will help them eat." Zhao licked his lips and said.
"How do you know that they can't eat, they are afraid that I won't have enough to eat, so they gave it to me, do you think everyone is like you!" Jiang Wan glanced at Zhao in vain, and she found that this Zhao belonged to the flies, and she wanted to drill if there was a crack.
"If you don't eat, you won't eat, what's the big deal." Zhao snorted and drank a large mouthful of porridge.
Zhang and Wang ate the rest of the meatloaf.
After eating, a few people went to the embroidery village, and Zhang's took the embroidered handkerchief to the guy in the embroidery village, because he was a regular customer, the guy took the handkerchief very neatly and gave Zhang's one hundred and twenty dollars.
Forty handkerchiefs, each only three pennies, Jiang Wanbai felt that it was not worth it for Zhang's family. The handkerchief was not embroidered with flowers, even if it was embroidered with grass, the patterns on each one were very complicated, but it took a lot of effort for Zhang to embroider it.
It's a pity that Zhang's didn't feel so at all, but she was very happy, and she didn't rush to take the money, she asked her buddy for all kinds of fine silk threads, and there were only six of the one hundred and twenty wen.
Handing the six coins to Jiang Wanbai, Zhang promised with some embarrassment, "Mother, when the screen is embroidered, I will definitely be able to earn back the money for this silk thread." Looking at her like that, it seems that she is afraid that Jiang Wanbai will blame her for spending money.
