Chapter 67: Preparing Meals
However, this is a very big shop in ancient times, no wonder Cai Diexuan's business is so good, I am afraid that there are some things that the ladies in this town need, it seems that the wealth behind Uncle Wen is far richer than he thought, I don't know when I will be able to open such a big shop.
Just thinking about it, Uncle Wen had already come in, and when he saw Lin He and the others, he chuckled and said, "He'er and Dabao are so early, I'm afraid they will leave before dawn, don't be in such a hurry, it's okay to be late, you see that my store hasn't opened yet." ”
Lin He replied, "The plum blossom paste in your store is out of stock, and I am afraid that the guests will come to ask today, so I sent it early." Uncle Wen, I redesigned the box, how about you take a look? ”
Saying that, he took the burden over, took out a box of plum blossom paste from it and handed it to Uncle Wen, Uncle Wen looked at it carefully, and said, "Very good, the material is good, and the appearance is also very beautiful, but it is excellent, so it should be much more conspicuous." ”
Lin He said, "Uncle Wen, this box is specially customized by myself, the material is mahogany, so the price is also more expensive, I think the price of this new packaging should be more expensive, Uncle Wen, how much do you see the price rise?" ”
Uncle Wen: "Of course, I see that you originally sold for 300 wen a box, this one will be sold for 500 wen a box, and it is indeed worth this price, my best rouge here is more than one or two, the effect, packaging, and materials are not as good as yours, but you are a new brand, so the price is cheaper now." ”
Lin He was also a little surprised in his heart, his box was thirty wen a piece, and if he wanted to increase the price, he would only add it to four hundred hundred wen, and he would make a lot of money, but he didn't expect that Uncle Wen would add two hundred wen a box as soon as he said it, and this would not be half a star.
Dabao also opened his mouth on the side, how much is the cost of these plum blossom pastes, Dabao knows, Uncle Wen added so much at once, Dabao didn't expect it, but Dabao didn't speak, just sat and listened.
Although Lin He felt that adding two hundred Wen at once was a bit much, since Uncle Wen said this, he naturally had his reasoning, so he nodded, "Well, we listen to Uncle Wen." ”
Uncle Wen said that these eighty boxes should be able to sell for ten days, and after ten days, let Dabao and Lin He come to check out, and after the two of them told Uncle Wen everything, the two planned to go home.
The two of them walked to the stall selling pork, or the first time Lin He bought pigs into the water, the boss of the house saw Lin He, and greeted them, Lin He remembered that there was nothing delicious at home during this time, so he gave the boss two pennies, bought a bunch of pigs and went back to the water, planning to cook and eat at home.
Since the boss sent the pig to Lin He for the first time, every time Lin He came to buy the pig into the water, he would give the boss two pennies, the boss originally didn't want it, saying that he wanted these to throw away, but Lin He said that if the boss refused to accept the money, then she would not come in the future, and the boss accepted the two pennies she gave.
The family is very fond of things such as pigs going into the water, and Lin He's cooking skills are also good, the family thinks these are better than meat, but Lin He knows that eating too many animal offal is not good for the body, so since the family's economy has improved some time ago, he has not bought it.
The family's money has been lent to the uncle's family, and the family's food is almost used up during the New Year, and they haven't bought much meat these days, and they eat some radish and cabbage and the like, Xiaobao was still talking about eating meat yesterday, so Lin He only planned to buy some pigs to go back to the water today, so that the family could improve their food.
Time passed quickly, almost two months passed unconsciously, during this period, Lin He and Dabao made a total of more than 300 boxes of plum blossom paste to send to Caidiexuan for sale, earning almost more than 100 taels of silver, and the income is still very gratifying.
The plum blossoms here are all used up, the plum blossom season has passed, Lin He also plans to change a flower to make a new variety, there are more flowers in spring, and there should be many different kinds of flowers.
But these days at home, the people in the family have no other time to think about other things, because the time for Qingshan to marry Song Yuemei has come, and the time is set for three days later.
In the past few days, Erniu has not gone to the field, and he also drove the ox cart to help the uncle's family buy some things to be used as relatives, and every day the feet do not touch the ground, and there is no human figure in sight, Huang took Lin He, Lin Chen and Zhou followed Zhao in the kitchen to prepare some things for the banquet.
The banquets here are all done by themselves, and the people who come to help are some relatives in the family, and many things will be started a few days before they get married, or they will not have time to do it until that day.
Originally, the Dajiang family planned to do it more simply because of the lack of money, but the Zhao family and Father Lin disagreed, saying that it was the first time that the grandson of the Lin family had done a happy event in his generation, and it would be more sumptuous, plus the matter of Qingshan and Yuemei, and some troubled people in the village knew about it, and how ugly it was to hear.
The Song family also heard a lot of such messages, so they also put forward a lot of requirements for the newlywed and the man's family, such as the new house should be renovated, and the clothes for the bride when marrying should be new from top to bottom from the inside to the outside, and there should be several sets, and the other is that the banquet must be made according to the most sumptuous here, etc., in the end, He just didn't agree and had no choice.
The matter of silver money, this time Erniu didn't care, and He himself couldn't open his mouth. In the end, the Zhao family subsidized more than one or two pieces of silver, plus some money from the He family to make things himself, there were almost three taels of silver, and a very grand wedding could be held in this era.
Each table prepares a large pot of white flour steamed buns and a pot of corn steamed buns, and eats here, meat is prepared with five dishes, melons, fruits and vegetables are prepared with five dishes, and a table is prepared with ten bowls of dishes.
He sees the money in his hand being spent like flowing water every day, and he hates the daughter-in-law who is about to pass through the door to the bone, just because the family is going to have a happy event, and it is not easy to say it directly, but his face is still not very good-looking.
Lin He saw these foods, this time grandma and uncle's family did put some money in preparing these foods, in order to marry Yuemei Qingshan's family is also a good capital, this Song Yuemei is afraid that the life will not be easy, first of all, the He family will not let him go easily, and then in order to marry him, the uncle's family owes a lot of debts, and she will have to pay it back when the time comes.
