Chapter 13 New Trading

The brine water was boiled, and the beans were hungry, but the ugly girl and Huozi hadn't come back yet, and he was embarrassed to eat alone, and the raccoon dog was about the same as him, and finally Li Zhang couldn't stand it anymore, so he fished out a piece of pork liver and let the two of them eat it first.

"Woo~" But at this moment, I suddenly saw the ugly girl crying and walking in from outside, and several children behind her were also crying one by one, looking like they were being bullied?

"What's going on?" Seeing this, Li Zhang hurriedly limped forward and asked, The ugly lady is usually responsible for going to Yuefeng Building to work, and the reward is the leftovers of the day in the restaurant, but today they don't seem to be carrying the big bucket with the leftovers?

"Brother Zhang, the shopkeeper of Yuefeng Building refused to give us the leftovers, saying that he would pay us from today." The ugly girl wiped her tears and whimpered at this time, and stretched out her palm, and a stack of ten copper coins flashed copper light in her palm.

Li Zhang couldn't help frowning when he heard this, it seems that the guy who wants to rob his own business is really desperate, and he actually cut off the source of his own folding basket from the source, but what makes Li Zhang can't understand is that people with heads and faces should not look down on the "dirty" business of folding baskets, but now even the shopkeeper of Yuefeng Building cooperates with each other, which is really a bit strange?

Just when Li Zhang was puzzled, he suddenly saw Huozi come back with a few children who sold folding baskets, and the folding baskets were sold out in the morning, so they usually came back very early, but they came back so late today, it is estimated that it is because of the competition that makes the folding baskets not easy to sell.

"Big brother, Hou San's pranky is simply too bullying, it is obviously robbing our business, we sell a spoonful for a penny, he will sell two spoonfuls for a penny, and he didn't sell a spoonful this morning!" Huozi's black face was also purple with anger at this time, and his two small fists were clenched tightly, looking as if he was going to fight with others.

"Hou San? Is it the sloppy head who wanted to blackmail us last time? Li Zhang couldn't help but ask in surprise when he heard the name Hou San.

"It's him, it's his subordinates who robbed our business today, and he deliberately went to our stall in the afternoon, although he didn't dare to make trouble, but he also scared away a lot of guests!" Huozi said hatefully again at this time, don't look at this kid's young age, but his temper is the most violent, he has fought with others before, even if the other party is older than him, he is not afraid at all, his front tooth was knocked out during a fight.

"It's him, so it's no wonder!" Li Zhang said to himself at this time, although Hou San has no power and no money, he is very disgusting, and ordinary people are not willing to provoke him.

"Big brother, I know where Hou San's house is, do you want us to touch it at night and teach him a lesson!" Huozi gritted his teeth at this time, and his eyes also flashed with a dangerous light, this kid is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he dares to kill when fighting, and now Hou San has taken their wealth, give him a knife, he really dares to kill.

"The stinky boy knows how to fight and kill, and he doesn't look at how old you are, although Hou San is a splash, but he is also an adult, and we are not anyone's opponents when we are tied together!" Li Zhang saw Huozi's fierce appearance, but at the moment he patted him on the head and said, it is not a good thing that this kid is full of violence.

"If you can't beat it, you have to fight, you can't just let them rob our business like this!" Huozi said again.

"Okay, I didn't plan to do this business for too long, and if I lost it, I lost it, let's eat first, and I'll tell you about a new deal later!" Li Zhang also understood Huozi's temper, so naturally he would not be angry with him, so he spoke again at the moment.

"New deal? Brother Zhang, you think of a new deal again? The ugly girl's eyes lit up when she heard Li Zhang's words, wiped the tears on her face and asked in surprise, Li Zhang's prestige among them has been getting higher and higher during this time, so his words can make the ugly girl turn sadness into joy.

Li Zhang smiled and nodded at this time, and then asked the raccoon dog to serve everyone food first, after all, it was almost dark now, and everyone had been busy outside for a day, not to mention them, even Li Zhang himself was hungry.

But even with the rice, the beans and the ugly girl still surrounded Li Zhang, under the gaze of everyone, Li Zhang also felt uncomfortable, and finally had to helplessly put down the dishes and chopsticks and said: "If you want to do well in trading, there are only two things, one is that no one has me, and the other is that people have my superior ......."

Douzi these children are illiterate, a very simple sentence, Li Zhang also has to explain to them carefully, but he is also very patient, in fact, he also wants to take this opportunity to give Douzi them more reason, if it is not allowed by the current conditions, he wants to let Douzi they follow him to learn something, at least be able to write and calculate, so that there can be greater development in the future.

"It's not difficult to fold this thing, we can do it, others can do it, but no one thought of it before, this is called no one has me, so we can make money, but no matter how to do this thing, it is still a folding basket, there is not much development, so I thought of a new business these days!" After Li Zhang finished explaining the above words, he spoke again at this time.

"What kind of deal?" Douzi asked in unison.

"Hey, look down at your bowl!" Li Zhang smiled mysteriously at the moment.

"In a bowl?" They lowered their heads when they heard the beans, and what they saw was a bowl of brine water, but what Li Zhang didn't expect was that the first reaction was not the most clever beans, but the ugly girl, and she exclaimed with joy, "I know, Brother Zhang, do you mean that we will sell brine in the future?" ”

"It's not just going into the water, pig's head, pig's feet, pig's tail and the like can be marinated, pork is cheap meat, rich and noble people don't bother to eat, poor people don't pay so much attention to it, most of them are boiled in white water with a little salt, the taste is really not good, and what we have to do is that people have me, other people's pork can't make our taste, so others are naturally willing to buy our pork, so I plan to sell braised meat!" Li Zhang explained with a smile again at this time.

"Braised pork? Great, big brother, the pork you made tastes so good, it's even stronger than the chef of Yuefeng Building, and there will definitely be many people who like it! Douzi couldn't help but pat his thigh and shouted, Li Zhang's braised meat has been eaten several times, and they also feel that the taste is far better than the cooked meat sold on the market, but they didn't think of making money with this before, it is estimated that this is the gap in vision that Li Zhang said, right?

The ugly lady and Huozi and others also applauded, and they all felt that this was a good deal. Li Zhang was not surprised by their reactions, firstly, the braised pork he made tasted really good, and Lu Wu was full of praise for the last time he ate it, and secondly, the braised pork and the folding basket were both food deals, and they were more familiar with the beans.

"Okay, hurry up and eat, sleep well after eating, and tomorrow I will tell you to prepare for the braised meat business!" Li Zhang said and picked up the rice bowl and said, he doesn't like to work with his neck hungry.

Hearing Li Zhang's words, Douzi and Huozi they were all smiling, and they were all hungry and scared before, even if they could eat a full meal now, they still looked like a starving ghost when they ate, in contrast, Li Zhang was slow when he ate, after all, when he was the poorest in his last life, he didn't have to eat, if someone came in at this time, he could find the difference between Li Zhang and other children at a glance.

The next morning, the beans they came to Li Zhang neatly dressed, since the beginning of business, Li Zhang asked these children to be hygienic, it doesn't matter if the clothes are torn, but they must be cleaned, although these children are very uncomfortable at first, but they are more afraid of starvation, so now the hygiene is maintained well, at least the hands, faces and clothes are very clean.

At the moment, Li Zhang immediately ordered to go down, the beans are sharp and sharp, and they are also familiar with the butcher who sells pork, so he is responsible for buying the water, this is a long-term purchase, it is estimated that the price of beans can be lower, in addition to meat, the most important thing is the marinade, this Li Zhang is also very good, after all, he stayed in that ghost place in Africa in his previous life, and he was not used to eating local food, so he could only make it himself, so he also learned a good cooking skill.

There are many kinds of marinade recipes, the simplest is to put some star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves and the like, for example, the brine water made by Li Zhang before was more casual, but now if you want to make money to support your family, you must come up with some real skills, and before Li Zhang also learned about the spices of the Great Song Dynasty, and finally got together a recipe for all-purpose marinade.

Li Zhang called the ugly girl and others, and then separately instructed them to buy a few of the spices, and told them that they must not tell anyone about the spices they bought, and finally the proportion of the marinade was made by Li Zhang himself, this is not that he is careful and guards against the ugly girls, but the ugly girls have no sense of secrecy at all, and the tone is not very strict, so the formula is still in their own hands to be the safest.

Early the next morning, Li Zhang and Douzi pushed the cart to the dock again, which was also the second time he personally came out to do business, but this time he did not take the car, but followed the car slowly with crutches, because there were too many things pulled on the car, and it was very hard for them to push the cart, so Li Zhang also tried to walk by himself.

In addition, the beans also had to go to the pot as soon as possible to raise the fire, and clean up the area around the stall by the way, so Li Zhang let them go first, anyway, the dock is not far, he walked over slowly, and the beans also agreed, and pushed the car with a few children to the dock first.

However, when Li Zhang came to the dock, he suddenly found that a group of people were gathered around the place where Douzi and their stall were set up, and there was a faint sound of quarrel inside, which made Li Zhang frown, because he heard that one of the parties to the quarrel seemed to be Douzi and them.
