Ji Yu sniffed the smell and searched all the way, and found that at the end of the street, at the corner, a young man was squatting in front of a few rotten jars with his head in his hands, and he was worried.

Ji Yu stepped forward and asked, "Where did you buy this vinegar?" ”

Xiao Young looked up with a frustrated face, "I didn't buy it anywhere, I sold it at home." But they were all given by the little boy of Wanjia...... Alas! ”

He's also unlucky.

The two large altars brought with me last time were trampled by the little boy's horse. This time it was changed to a small altar, and then it was a different place, thinking that everything should be fine, but who knew that he was hit by the angry little boy again, and he didn't care about it, and he raised his horsewhip and whipped it at the bottles and cans on the ground.

Although you can go to Wanjia to ask for compensation later, if something is ruined, it is a waste.

Forget it, it won't sell if it's not ruined......

Ji Yu vaguely felt that he was a little kind, and she couldn't remember where she had seen it for a while.

"Is it really your own? Anything else? Can I buy some. ”

Seeing that it was a customer who came to the door, Xiao Young barely cheered up.

"There are two bottles left, a bottle of autumn oil and a bottle of vinegar, do you want it?"

Xiao Young took out the only two bottles from the binaural basket behind him.

The bottle is not big, similar to the kind of bottle that holds wine, Guan Shan reached out and took it, pulled out the cork, and handed it to Ji Yu.

Ji Yu's outstretched hand didn't come in handy, and put it down again.

Hook looked at the mouth of the bottle, touched the mouth of the bottle with his fingers, and tasted them in his mouth, and couldn't help nodding.

The soy sauce is red, the vinegar is clear, and the taste is mellow, although it still can't be compared with later generations, but compared to the one in the town, whether it is color, aroma or taste, it is a lot higher.

This time the county town really came to the right place, and I picked up a big surprise in vain.

"Your vinegar is not made of glutinous rice?"

Ji Yu doesn't know much about this, but because she often studies food, she still has a little understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of various soy sauce vinegars and their raw material composition.

Xiao Young scratched his head, "I won't tell you, glutinous rice is too expensive...... It is made with sorghum and bran, but the taste is no worse than that of glutinous rice. ”

Ji Yu nodded thoughtfully, no wonder......

Sorghum is abundant in the north, and it is naturally more cost-effective to use sorghum than glutinous rice. And sorghum from the appearance of the color, black and red translucent, used to make vinegar do not need to add any artificial color, the color and luster look like old vinegar.

In later generations, the most commonly used raw material for brewing aged vinegar seems to be sorghum.

However, old vinegar generally has to be aged for a year or two, and it is obviously not in this bottle.

"You're the new vinegar? It didn't take long to brew. ”

Xiao Young became more and more surprised, but she didn't expect her to even smell this.

"It seems that the girl is a connoisseur, and I won't hide it from you, this batch of vinegar happened just three months ago. I asked someone for advice, after the vinegar is made, it can be aged for three months, or half a year, or more than a year, so that there is vinegar, aged vinegar and old vinegar. But my family ...... Can't delay that long......"

Aged vinegar loses a lot of water due to drying and concentration, so that it can have a rich aroma, sour taste, purple and black color, the characteristics of hanging cups and the character of long-term storage.

After a year of sun evaporation and ice scooping, the concentration of aged vinegar can reach more than three times, and the concentration of vinegar is greatly increased, achieving a unique taste with delicate aging and soft sourness.

But looking at this young man dressed up, he doesn't look like a person with a solid family, and he really can't afford this time.

Xiao Young looked at her cautiously, "Then, do you still want it?" ”

Ji Yu nodded, "Naturally, I want it, how do you sell it?" ”

Xiao Young was even more apprehensive about the "Thirty Literary ......"

Without waiting for Ji Yu to speak, he hurriedly said, "It's not that I deliberately sold it expensive, nor did I want to make black money, it's really this thing, how can I tell you, it's very troublesome."

There are one or twenty light processes, to lick, to stir, to soak, but also to steam in the pot, and then stare at it day by day, turn over the material, scatter mildew, and finally expose to the sun and squeeze the slag......

And it's all good.

The sorghum that my family harvested last year was all made by me to make vinegar. There is also salt, soybeans, and flour in autumn oil...... How expensive do you think it is?

It's not something that can be done in a day or two. Take autumn oil as an example, it takes more than three months to make, and it takes at least three months to dry. Not to mention vinegar, which has a minimum aging period of three months......

If you don't believe me, you can ask elsewhere, they sell it for a lot more than me.

I used to work as a guy in a grain and oil shop in the town, and it was more expensive and didn't taste as good as I did......"

The more he talked, the more frustrated he became, and the more he spoke, the more powerless he became.

He had to repeat these words countless times a day, but even if he wore out the skin of his mouth, in the end, no one would buy it - thirty wen a catty, it would be better to weigh two catties of salt, wouldn't he still cook without it?

In the final analysis, it is because these two are not popular in the Northland. In addition, he couldn't afford to rent a shop and open a shop, so he could only set up a stall on the roadside, and there were few rich and noble people who patronized him, and he easily refused to throw money on some meaningless things.

"Forget it, if you're too expensive......" Xiao Young was about to reach out and get the bottle back.

"Wait." Ji Yu suddenly spoke.

She finally remembered where she had seen this young man!

"Is the grain and oil shop you mentioned in Juyong Town?"

Xiao Young was stunned, "Yes, you are?" ”

"You forget, I went to the store in September last year, and I asked about these two things, but I didn't buy them...... You also helped me get a whole bunch of stuff to the blacksmith's shop, remember? ”

Xiao Young vaguely remembered it, but he didn't dare to recognize it.

At that time, he was helping a yellow and thin girl, who didn't look so good...... But the voice and expression of the voice are really similar.

"Is it really you? You've changed so much that I don't even recognize you! ”

"Eighteen changes in the female university." Ji Yu smiled, "By the way, I went to that shop later, and I didn't see you, the new guy said that you were fired, what's the matter?" ”

Speaking of this, the young man sighed.

"Our shopkeeper bought vinegar and autumn oil from elsewhere to sell, but very few people bought them.

Most people don't have it when they hear about the price. Also, it's the same as your reaction that time, smell and see, it seems that you are not satisfied with the quality, and naturally there is no then.

If I can't sell it, the shopkeeper will be angry at me.

I told the shopkeeper that the smell was wrong, and if I could improve it, or reduce the price.

The shopkeeper scolded me for being a dog, saying that I was whimsical, and asked me to clean up the bed and roll it that night. ”

The reason why Ji Yu is deeply impressed by him is because he is attentive and thoughtful, and he is also enthusiastic and warm to strangers.

What's more, the opinions he put forward are very pertinent, and they are also for the long-term consideration of the store.

Such a guy is really blind when he is in charge.

"So you're going to have a stove on your own?"
