Chapter 019: Gifts are exchanged
With the help of Lu Shi and Tie Dan, Shen Xiangmiao made it much easier to make braised skewers, although the number of braised skewers that she planned to bring to the town to sell tomorrow had increased to more than 500 skewers, and they were all made quickly.
Seeing that it was still early, there were actually some bamboo skewers and pork left, and Lu suggested that the meat should be marinated and skewered together.
"Mother, this is selling things, you can't look at the business is good, but you have to be prepared with this strength, you have to be leisurely, every time you have to sell out early and make people wait and look forward to it, so that the lo-mei will be more popular, sell very well, and the signboard will be louder!" Shen Xiangmiao said.
This practice is actually the "hunger marketing" commonly used by many modern brands, giving consumers the feeling that they are in short supply and urgently need to queue up to buy, as long as the things are good, consumers are also very buying.
Lu Shi understood the general idea and said with a smile: "It's this reason, I'll listen to you." "Dispelled Fang Cai's thoughts.
Shen Xiangmiao pursed her lips and smiled.
The next day, the rooster got up, got up and dipped the willow branch in green salt, brushed his teeth, washed his face, and then applied some new snow cream that he bought yesterday.
There is no woman in the past and present who does not pay attention to beauty, this ancient skin care products are also very delicate and practical under the needs of the public, with a light fragrance, and they feel very comfortable on the face, and more importantly, there are no harmful substances such as additives.
Lu Shi saw that the hour was almost up, and went to tell Tie Dan to get up, but Shen Xiangmiao stopped her: "Mother, let Tie Dan sleep a little longer, I will sell skewers today, I will go alone, and my mother will cut yesterday's cloth into clothes at home." ”
With them, Shen Xiangmiao didn't dare to be afraid too much if she wanted to put something in the space to reduce the burden, for fear of being found out and treating herself as a monster, if she went to the town alone, she would have no scruples, put everything in the portable kitchen, travel lightly, and walk more easily.
"Is this okay?" Lu Shi was a little worried.
"The road in this town is smooth and easy to walk, I also know the road, and there is Brother Meng to help me take care of the stalls, no problem." Shen Xiangmiao smiled: "Mainly, I also want to put on new clothes earlier!" ”
"Okay then." Lu Shi responded with a smile, plucked the broken hair on Shen Xiangmiao's forehead, and turned around to prepare breakfast.
After breakfast, Shen Xiangmiao went to the town.
Not long after Shen Xiangmiao left, the two brothers Shen Wentao and Shen Wenwu came with Shen Qiaohui, and when they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, they shouted: "Second uncle, Sister Xiangmiao, Tie Dan." ”
Lu Shi came out and saw the three brothers and sisters, and said with a smile: "Why are you here?" ”
"We caught the gnats yesterday and asked my father to weave a cage, thinking about sending them over for Sister Xiangmiao and Brother Tie Dan to play." Shen Wentao said, shaking the round cage of the gnats in his hand, and the gnats chirped high and low inside.
"Your sister Xiangmiao is not at home, she just went out." Lu Shi shouted into the room: "Tiedan, come on, Brother Wen Tao and Brother Wen Wu have caught the gnats for you." ”
Hearing that Shen Xiangmiao was not at home, the three brothers and sisters were a little disappointed, and they originally wanted to see Shen Xiangmiao's happy appearance when they saw the grasshopper, but it didn't matter, just send their hearts.
As soon as Tie Dan heard that there was a grasshopper, he immediately ran out of the house.
"Here, this one is yours, this one is Sister Xiangmiao's." Shen Wentao handed over two of them.
"Thank you, Brother Wen Tao." Tie Dan grinned, took it, handed one to Lu Shi, and the other played with it in his hand.
"Only thank him, don't thank me, I caught most of these gnats." Shen Wenwu received a cold reception, and suddenly became unhappy, and his brows were twisted.
"Thank you, Brother Wenwu, Sister Qiaohui." Tie Dan exaggerated at everyone, causing everyone to laugh.
A few hairy children all went to play with the grasshoppers in a hurry.
Lu Shi beckoned them to be careful when playing, don't bump into it, several children responded with a brush, and played in the yard, and Lu Shi cut up his clothes in the house.
Shen Xiangmiao secretly put all her things into the portable kitchen on the road, walked with an empty bamboo basket on her back, and took a quarter of an hour less to get to the town than yesterday, and when she approached the town, she took out all the things and carried them to the stall.
Meng Weisheng seems to have come a long time ago, and a lot of baked cakes have been made, placed in a big wooden box, and when he saw Shen Xiangmiao coming, he said with a smile: "The sister of the Shen family is here, a quarter of an hour earlier than you said, thanks to someone just now when I asked me when you came, I said it a little earlier, if it was too late, that person came and couldn't buy the skewers, I'm afraid they would have to settle accounts with me!" ”
"Where is it so easy to sell?" Shen Xiangmiao smiled and put out all the skewers.
"I ate well yesterday, and there are probably more people who came today, even my mother said that the braised skewers you made are delicious, especially the pork liver and tenderloin, and her old man is easy not to boast about it!" Meng Weisheng said with a smile: "The sister of the Shen family has not eaten, the freshly baked baked cakes." ”
"No, I've eaten at home." Shen Xiangmiao smiled and glanced at Meng Weisheng more.
Yesterday, he handed Meng Weisheng only three marinated skewers, namely bean skin, pork liver and tenderloin, a string of bean skin Meng Weisheng ate in person, and the remaining two skewers must have been brought back to the old man, it seems that this Meng Weisheng is a filial piety.
As soon as the things were placed, buyers came to the door, and business was even better than yesterday.
After an hour, there was not much left.
This time, six hundred skewers were prepared, and they were sold faster than yesterday, and Shen Xiangmiao herself was a little surprised, but then she smiled again.
Sure enough, throughout the ages, people have taken food as the sky, and it is the world of foodies.
Meng Weisheng's baked cake stall business also improved, and he said with a smile: "Sister of the Shen family, I said that today's business is better than yesterday." ”
After that, he touched twenty copper coins from the money bag and said, "I wanted to buy it later, but I was afraid that the marinade would dry up when I brought it back, and I was afraid that it would not be able to pass three o'clock in the morning, so I want two strings of tenderloin and two strings of pork liver." ”
Meng Wei was afraid that the marinade would be dry, so he estimated that he wanted to buy it back and bring it to the old lady to eat, and the stall would be closed at night, and in such a hot day, it would definitely be dry, but there was also a rule for those who sold marinade, not selling marinade.
Marinade is the key to lo-mei, and it is also the capital of the lo-mei people to settle down, if others have to study the formula to make the exact same taste, it will be crushed sooner or later.
So Meng Weisheng didn't mention the marinade to preserve the taste, and he didn't dare to mention it.
"I'll dip some more marinade for you, and I'll wrap you in a bag." Shen Xiangmiao took out the braised skewers, pulled out a fresh-keeping ziplock bag from the space, put the skewers in, sealed them, and handed them to Meng Weisheng: "Brother Meng remembers to return this bag to me tomorrow." ”
Meng Weisheng saw that the bag was transparent, slippery and slippery to the touch, and quickly accepted it with great joy, and then looked at the bag in addition to the tenderloin and pork liver, there were two strings of bean skin and two strings of yuba, and he knew that this must be an additional gift from Shen Xiangmiao.
