Chapter 40: Intended
The next morning, Tang Shiyu left the courtyard and wandered aimlessly in the county seat. She wants to gain a foothold here, and she must first know that she knows her opponent in order to survive a hundred battles. If she didn't know anything about this place, there must be countless pits waiting for her in the back.
After walking around, she also knew what she had to do, and she planned to sell braised meat and become a small vendor to accumulate funds in the early stage.
The most important thing to make braised pork is the ingredients, and she has collected about 30 kinds of ingredients in various pharmacies and grocery stores in the county.
Among them, there are useful and useless, mainly because they are worried about being seen by people with hearts, in case her braised meat is sold, as long as people with hearts inquire, they will know what the ingredients are.
Tongguan County is so big, and she is a foreigner, so it is easy for people to inquire. And the locals have a traditional idea of unanimity with the outside world, so those who sell her will not hesitate to betray her.
This is her money-making tool before she runs out of money, and she doesn't want to let others take the lead before she makes money.
"How do you sell meat?" She bought an old hen before, and now there is only meat left,
"Thirteen pieces of lean meat, seventeen pieces of fat meat, this little brother, which one do you want?" The meat seller was a middle-aged and strong man. Shirtless, with an apron in front of him, and a sharp pig-killing knife in his hand, a fierce aura came to his face.
"Can you be cheaper with both?" Tang Shiyu told herself that from now on she had to learn to bargain and accumulate a lot.
In her previous life, she had no habit of bargaining, and before the end of the world came, she had money and didn't need to be careful. After the end of the world, whoever has the big fist will be theirs.
"My butcher Chen has always been fair in trading, if you buy too much, these big bones will be given to you without money, how about it?" Butcher Chen's two thick eyebrows curled, he is a rough man, he doesn't like to bargain with people, the price is set, unless people buy too much, he will be cheap.
"Four catties of everything, how can you sell this pig in the water?" Tang Shiyu saw that there were several baskets at his feet, and at a glance, he found that there were a lot of pig intestines and pig offal.
If you use these to make braised meat, the cost must be low, mainly because it is not easy to take care of.
"Ten cents a pair" Chen Butcher kicked the basket with his foot, indicating that it was all fresh.
"Bawen, I want them all." She looked at the pig in the water, and there were about ten catties of it when it was packed, as long as it could be sold, it was a sure deal.
"Cheng, see that your little brother is also a happy person, I am also happy, you take these two baskets back first, and then send them to me." Butcher Chen nodded happily, these pigs went into the water, and he couldn't sell them every day.
Most people want to spend a few more dollars to eat some good meat, these pigs are cheap, but they are not easy to take care of, and they always have a smelly smell.
"My house is not far from over there," Tang Shiyu pointed to the location of the small courtyard.
"Take these big bones, too." Butcher Chen put two pieces of oiled paper on the water under the pig, and put the meat and the big bones on the oiled paper. After he finished putting it away, he felt that there were too many things, and he was afraid that the little brother in front of him would not be able to take it back.
"There's a flat pole here, why don't you pick it up!" Butcher Chen pointed to a flat pole on the ground, and the two baskets added up to about seventy or eighty catties. The little brother in front of him looked like a weak scholar, how could he be moved?
"No, it's money." After Tang Shiyu finished paying, she tied the ingredients in her hand together and hung them around her neck, mainly because she was afraid that these things would get dirty, don't look at the fluttering few packets of ingredients, but it cost her a lot of money.
As for the old hen, she had to grieve it and tie it to the edge of a basket
If these things are lost, that is, in the next period of time, she will have to go back to her old job and make money by selling coolies.
There is a rope on the basket, and she just carries one in one hand, and the reason why she refuses Butcher Chen's kindness is because she can't pick up the flat burden, yes, she won't, and she also has things that she can't.
"Little brother is so strong!" Butcher Chen watched Tang Shiyu easily pick up the two baskets, and even changed the name. He's a rough guy, and he likes to deal with people with a lot of strength.
What he is most afraid of is dealing with scholars, and those who know him have a headache and can't understand.
"It's over!" Tang Shiyu hooked the corners of his mouth after hearing the praise of others, and went back with two baskets.
The world likes the praise and affirmation of others, and she is no exception, who makes her a layman.
"Mother, I'm back!" When she arrived at the door of the small courtyard, she tapped on the door. When she left, she told Xu's mother that she must lock the door after she leaves, and she must be guarded against people.
"Why is it so long?" Xu's mother sat in the small courtyard doing needlework, mainly worried about Tang Shiyu's safety outside. That way, she can hear the person as soon as he returns.
"Delayed a little time" As soon as the courtyard opened, Tang Shiyu immediately moved things in.
"Why are there so many things, what are these? Ah......h
"It's okay, I can't finish eating today, and I can eat it for two more days if I fall into the well." If you ignore the distortion on Xu's mother's face, it will be more convincing.
In Xu's mother's opinion, the reason why Tang Shiyu bought these is because she doesn't know how to buy things. The fault is not Tang Shiyu, the fault is her, it is that she did not teach well.
"Then I told you, I'll give it back to the people first." Tang Shiyu put the meat and big bones in a clean basin, put the ingredients into the house, and threw the old hen directly on the ground.
Then he took out a large wooden barrel and poured two baskets of things into it. This large wooden barrel was still found in the utility room, and it was originally intended to be used for washing clothes.
"Then there you go! Go early and come back early. Mother Xu frowned and waved her hand, but her eyes were fixed on the barrel.
Now Mother Xu regrets it very much, she should have gone out with the eldest lady just now. Forget it, I don't want to think about it, the more I think about it, the worse it gets, so let's clean it up quickly!
It's a big deal to put a little more salt, and you can put it for a while longer to make salted meat.
Tang Shiyu didn't know Xu's mother's sorrow, she returned her things, bought a jar of liquor, and went to the grain store to buy a few catties of flour. Without flour, those intestines can't be cleaned at all, now is not the time to feel sorry for money, only the early pay, there will be a bumper harvest in the later stage.
When I was about to arrive at the small courtyard, I was greeted by the little girl who was with Granny Qian that day. She nodded at the other party, which was regarded as a greeting, but the other party was like a frightened rabbit, and immediately lowered his head with a red face.
Tang Shiyu: "......"
What a shy little girl, she immediately staggered away without squinting.
Her current identity is a man, if she greets other little girls affectionately, people will still think she is a hooligan!
The little girl has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and she wears a peach-colored Luo skirt, which adds a little more beauty to the other party.
