Chapter 50: Expensive?
"I can't be here?" Boss Huang glanced at the two of them strangely, and said with a tiger face, "Go and have breakfast, come and help after eating." ”
"Help?" Huang Xiaosi was confused, "What help?" ”
"Brush the cylinder," Huang Xiaosi pointed to the pile of black and stupid clay cylinders in the corner, "All the cylinders at home must be cleaned, and you must also help." ”
"Big brother, you haven't collected grain, why are you brushing the tank?" Huang Xiaosi was puzzled, "Could it be that our family bought food again?" ”
Other people's houses are made of adobe granaries, only the Huang family, Jiang felt that he couldn't prevent mice, so he specially bought a few large clay jars to store grain.
The grain stored became less and less, and the clay jar that originally contained the grain was empty, put it in the room and got in the way, and piled it up in the corner of the yard.
"No," Boss Huang didn't want to say more, "don't ask so much." ”
Gao said this coldly, and left with his hands.
"Fatty," Huang Xiaosi grimaced at Boss Huang and pouted, "Let's ignore him and eat." ”
Today's breakfast was hearty, with sweetened red dates and millet porridge, meat buns and a boiled egg.
Huang Xiaosi was flattered when he saw the breakfast on the table.
"Sister-in-law, what day is it today, why do you eat so well?" After a quick glance at Wang, he asked tentatively, "Xiao Wu and Er Niu also eat like this?" ”
"That's right," Wang smiled and reassured, "Mother brought back a lot of things yesterday, and everyone in the family eats like this, don't worry." ”
"Mother brought back a lot of things?" Huang Xiaosi was a little confused, "In addition to cabbage, did you bring something back?" ”
"Well," Wang whispered, "I've already put things in order and put them in the cupboard, and if you want to eat, come to me and get the key." ”
After a pause, Wang added, "I have also sorted out the things that I sent to my grandmother, and you and Xiao Yi will deliver them later." ”
"Cheng, let's send it."
When Jiang Nuan got up, he was already on the rise.
The Huang family has already cleaned the clay jar to be used and is waiting for Jiang Nuan to arrange things.
After eating breakfast unhurriedly, Jiang Nuan began to arrange.
Personally, she thinks that kimchi tastes better and is more durable, and plans to make kimchi.
"Clean up the cabbage, break off all the old dead leaves and feed them to the chickens, and break off the young cabbage leaves, cut them into strips, and let them dry for a while."
"Boss, second, you two have rough skin and thick meat, and grind the peppers into minced pieces."
"Eldest daughter-in-law, the three of you, follow me to prepare the sauce, take out the small iron pot I bought, put a pinch of peppercorns, two star anise, a piece of cinnamon, a few bay leaves, ginger slices, boil and let cool, the vegetables are many pots and small, and you have to keep boiling water."
"Little three, little four, you two, wipe the clay jar with wine and keep it for later use."
"Mother, what about me?" Xiao Wu looked at the cabbage in the courtyard curiously, and said softly, "I can also help with Da Niu and Erniu." ”
"I don't need your help," Jiang Nuan pinched Xiao Wu's nose, "You just sit next to your nephew and niece." ”
"Good horn!" After Xiao Wu finished speaking, he ran over and sat down with a small stool and Erya.
A family of more than a dozen people was all busy non-stop, and it was only in the evening that all six clay pots were filled.
Three thousand catties of cabbage, only one thousand catties were made.
"Qi Huo," sealed the clay pot, Jiang Nuan clapped his hands and retreated, "Let's do this today, wait for this batch to be sold, and then do the rest." ”
"Well," Boss Huang nodded, "The clay pot can only be used up like this, anyway, the cabbage is durable, and it won't break for a while." ”
"Mother, when can I eat it?" Xie Shi looked at the clay jar full of cabbage curiously, "It's really delicious?" ”
"It's good in two or three days," Jiang Nuan explained with a smile, "The fermented spicy cabbage is sour, spicy and slightly sweet, refreshing and appetizing, and you will know it when you taste it." ”
This is also the confidence of her decision to sell to the restaurant.
In the restaurant, the role of small dishes to enhance appetite is immeasurable.
If it weren't for the fact that the method was too simple and kept secret, she would have wanted to make money from this all the time.
"Mother," Huang Xiaosi said excitedly, "How much can these cabbages be sold for?" ”
"My mother plans to sell them for five cents a catty, these cylinders are about five taels of silver."
After all, with the addition of some water, the weight only increases.
As soon as Jiang Nuan's words fell, suddenly, a gasping sound sounded.
Huang Xiaosan knew the cost of buying, and his reaction was especially great. "Mother, it's so expensive?"
When I bought it, I spent five catties for one penny and six hundred wen.
Even if you add the later chili peppers, liquor and various spices, it is not more than three taels of silver.
Three thousand catties of cabbage, five cents a pound is fifteen taels of silver, and in a blink of an eye, I earned more than ten taels, if I can really sell it like this, it will be a huge profit!
"Is it expensive?" Jiang Nuan didn't care, "A duck can be bought for thirty or forty copper plates, and there is only half a plate of eighty-eight wen in the restaurant, which is not expensive?"
Five cents, selling is not cabbage, it is an ancestral craft. It is a reason why ordinary ingredients are processed by your chef and their value will immediately double. ”
The truth of this hooligan was speechless.
"Mother," Wang was a little worried, "will no one buy it?" ”
Five cents a pound, only a little cheaper than eggs, will anyone really buy it? She was quite skeptical.
No matter how delicious it is, it's just cabbage, and it can be compared to eggs?
"No," Jiang Nuan said firmly, "Don't worry, there are always people who know the goods." ”
If Wuwei Lou doesn't buy it, she will sell the whole building.
Jiang Nuan has a good impression of Juquanlou.
Judging from the various means of attracting guests in the whole building, the person behind it is very smart, and it is not difficult to understand the value of side dishes.
If that doesn't work, just send a few recipes that use kimchi......
In short, there must be a way to fix it.
"Sister-in-law," Xie interjected at the right time, "Mother said that it will definitely work, don't worry about it." ”
"Mother's craftsmanship is very good," Jin said in a low voice, "When I first sold recipes, my mother's cooking made my father and them admire, and the chef of Wuweilou was ashamed of himself, and his mother's idea of eating would not be wrong." ”
"It's not that I don't believe it," Wang was a little aggrieved and muttered in a low voice, "I just think it's not honest." ”
"This is already a very honest price," Jiang Nuan looked at the apprehensive Wang helplessly, and explained, "The cheapest fried vegetables in the restaurant cost eight yuan, and the dishes used are less than half a catty, and the price I set is already very conscientious." ”
Jiang Nuan sighed in his heart, the people of this era are really simple, they don't have so many flowers, and they feel uneasy when they make so much money, which is really stupid and cute.
"What my mother said is good," Xie Shi added, "We won't force the knife on other people's necks, if we want to buy it, we won't pull it down, where is it not sincere." ”
"Sister-in-law," Huang Xiaosan comforted warmly, "Although cabbage is cheap, this craft is unique to our family. ”
"Well," Wang lowered his head, "I thought something was wrong." ”
