Chapter 20, Yangzhou major customers
All the small dried fish at home are made into sweet and spicy flavor, there are three degrees of spicy, one is slightly spicy, this is sweet, the taste is very good, the second is medium spicy, this sweet and spicy is just right, not spicy or sweet, the third is heavy spicy, the sweetness in it can basically be ignored, it is added with Huang Xuan's own boiled chili sauce, spicy people are angry, Jiang Yuanyuan can't stand it after eating a few bites.
In the past two days, I took Shu Yun to familiarize myself with the process of the store, and discussed with Shu Yun about the business of these stores, Jiang Yuanyuan generally set the price of dried fish at about fifty-eight wen a catty, and some expensive fish were set more expensive, the cheapest is a small yellow croaker, which is a freshwater fish, as long as twenty-five wen a catty, no matter how you say it, you can afford to buy it.
The store opened on time on the third day, and the whole audience was discounted, Jiang Yuanyuan put these dried fish in the inn as a tasting bag in advance, and the effect was not bad, and the people who had eaten it, unless it was the one who hated the fishy smell, the others basically liked it very much, and they didn't resist much.
Some of their inn has been here before, saying that they are used to the food and environment here, and they have been disappointed when they see the change of master's house, not to mention that all of them will feel very good after experiencing it a few times, at least most people feel that they are sleeping now, and the food is better than before.
The small fish shop opened, the business is still very good, a little spare money have bought a few taels and a catty, the most sold is of course the small yellow croaker, after all, this kind of fish is really cheap, a pound can also buy some, enough to eat, the most expensive ones that can't be sold, seventy or eighty pounds, and the name, a pound is not a little bit, a few mouthfuls are gone, either a large family to buy a few catties of medium-priced ones, or a taste of fresh, buy the cheapest to a few taels, so in just a few days, the cheapest ones are getting fewer and fewer, The expensive ones don't move much, and they are placed in place steadily.
Jiang Yuanyuan and Shu Yun discussed the price matter, like this kind of larger and more expensive fish, the purchase price is forty or fifty per catty, the cost of going back and forth costs money, and the sauce made also costs money, the price is not expensive at all here, if the price is reduced, they will lose, and the two still feel that there is no need to reduce the price.
After another two days, Gong Ning came over and told Jiang Yuanyuan that their things were ready and they were ready to go to the south, Jiang Yuanyuan asked the person who went to bring the letter he wanted to give to Jiang Xuan.
This kind of dried fish can't be stored for a long time, and it looks like it's about to go bad, so Jiang Yuanyuan had to put up a shelf and sell these very expensive dried fish at a low price, and the price dropped from more than seventy or eighty to fifty or sixty.
Now there are more people who come to buy, and half of the time goes down in a day, but they really don't make money, on the contrary, they also lose money, which are sold according to the original price of their dried fish, although the cost of the round trip is included, but the cost of materials to make this spicy dried fish is their own money.
At this time, Jiang Yuanyuan wanted to stop selling this kind of expensive one.
But I didn't want to, and a big order came in less than two days.
Yangzhou came to a family, bluntly said that they wanted ten catties of squid rings and ten catties of squid whiskers, Jiang Yuanyuan was surprised, and saw this person smile and said that it was their wife who came here as a guest some time ago, and accidentally ate a little squid rings of the Peng family, and felt that it was really delicious.
Jiang Yuanyuan understood now, but they didn't have it in stock, they only said that if they wanted, they could do it now, just wait, and also proposed that if they were not in a hurry, they could do it today, and send it to them tomorrow, the person who came was the shopkeeper of their house, thinking that it was early, so he said that he would wait for them to take it back after it was done. Jiang Yuanyuan called Xiao Er to send a few people to the inn to sit and drink tea, and went to the back to ask Huang Xuan, who was making fresh dried small yellow croaker in the kitchen, to make some dried squid first.
Dried squid is to be soaked in advance, this kind of dried fish is marinated and dried and then sent, so it can be put away for a long time without breaking, but when you use it, you must soak it first, Huang Xuan also felt that the time was a little rushed, but others were waiting to ask for it, he could only go to soak the squid ring first, these squid Jiang Yuanyuan had cut it, and now as long as it was soaked and squeezed out of the water, it can be done, he took the squid ring, hesitated for a while and put it into the hot water, while letting the squid ring soak, he kept squeezing it to help it soften quickly.
It took half an hour to soak, Jiang Yuanyuan was on the side to help squeeze out the water, Huang Xuan stir-fried the sauce on fire, the squid ring was very elastic, like a sponge, no matter how it was twisted, it would eventually bounce back to its original state, Jiang Yuanyuan squeezed a large pot, and then put it in for Huang Xuan to fry, and she went to take out the squid whiskers.
The squid whiskers don't need to be soaked, you can fry them by flushing the water, they have been super good before, after the pot is fried, Jiang Yuanyuan took the oil paper package and weighed it, one was wrapped in two catties, just more than ten catties, and Jiang Yuanyuan gave it to others at that time, and it was finally all done.
"Master, what should I do if there is more in here?" Huang Xuan grabbed her head, looking at the extra squid rings in the basin and feeling a little distressed, could it be that she had to sell it at a loss, this thing was not cheap, she didn't want to sell it at a loss.
"You can figure it out for yourself and see what you can eat, if you can't do it, we'll eat it ourselves." Jiang Yuanyuan said, "Well, you can fry it and see if you can eat it, I think it should be good to eat it." ”
"Okay!" Huang Xuan nodded, he knew that a chef must not be less creative, looking at this pot of squid rings, he held his chin and pondered.
[The above about squid rings and soaking is all sitting and talking nonsense, don't take it seriously, the author doesn't know what else to do to keep the seafood from bad except pickling, so it's nonsense. 】
Jiang Yuanyuan and Shu Yun said hello and went to the inn, the inn recently recruited two more chefs, Shopkeeper Wang went out to find a chef today, after Huang Xuan was taken away by Jiang Yuanyuan, the inn was already short of a chef, so this time I had to recruit four chefs back, but Shopkeeper Wang was tired enough.
Handed the goods to the person who came, Jiang Yuanyuan calmed down her heartbeat, she just ran, but she was tired.
"How much is it?" Chen Ping glanced down and roughly felt that there were twenty catties, he handed the things to the person behind him and asked seriously.
"The squid ring is eighty wen a catty, and the squid whisker is seventy-eight, even if you are seventy-five wen a catty, ten catties is one thousand five hundred and fifty wen."
"I tasted the marmalade here before, and Xiao Er here told me that you also have it here, can you easily tell me what the price is?" Chen Ping nodded and pointed to the bowl on the table, there was still half of the orange water in the bowl, steaming, and it looked like it had just been ordered.
"We are two or two cans, one can is two catties, and under normal circumstances, one can make three or four hundred bowls." Jiang Yuanyuan thought for a while, "This is quite a good deal, but few people will buy a jar to go back, and it is generally a little loose, and it is 900 wen a catty." ”
Jiang Yuanyuan walked to the counter, and the shopkeeper Wang took out the marmalade with great discernment, this marmalade was put here by Jiang Yuanyuan, first, it is convenient for herself to drink, and then it is also convenient to introduce it to customers who want to buy it, twisted open the wooden lid to show Chen Ping, and the rich and viscous clear marmalade inside slowly slid out a little, which was very tempting.
"Miss Jiang is good at business." Chen Ping smiled, "It's not very expensive, it's just that Liangzhou has only experienced great difficulties, and it can't make a lot of money if it opens here." ”
"It's going to get better." Jiang Yuanyuan smiled and closed the lid.
"In that case, just bring me two cans, how about all the things together for a total of five and five hundred yuan?" Chen Ping pulled into his sleeve and asked with a smile.
"Naturally, you can." Jiang Yuanyuan smiled and nodded, walked inside and took out the account book a few times, "I'll ask Xiao Er to get it back for you." ”
Chen Ping was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Jiang Yuanyuan to be in the inn, he thought about it, and suddenly figured out something, looking at Jiang Yuanyuan's eyes, the meaning of inquiry deepened.
Xiao Er took the things back and settled all the things, Jiang Yuanyuan calculated the accounts, supported her chin and buckled it a little, and when the liquidation was over, Jiang Yuanyuan clapped her hands and put down the brush.
"Shopkeeper Wang, I'm going to the Northeast tomorrow, you can help me keep an eye on the other two stores these days." Jiang Yuanyuan picked up Bai Xue, who was playing on the side, she thought about it and made sure that there was nothing to explain, "Speaking of which, Sheng Rong's letter has been sent over in the past few days, you can help me keep it when the time comes." ”
"Yes, Miss should be careful on the road, it's colder than us here, Miss remember to bring more clothes. Miss, slow down, don't fall. Shopkeeper Wang nodded, looking at Jiang Yuanyuan anxiously carrying Bai Xue upstairs, his heart was tightly raised, for fear that the two of them would fall.
Returning to the front to continue settling accounts, Xiao Er, who was standing at the door, slowly touched it.
"Shopkeeper Wang, is the young lady going out?"
"If you can't go out, it won't affect anything, do your own thing." Shopkeeper Wang looked up and said.
"Oh, don't I find out?" Xiao Er muttered and said, "Speaking of which, Miss is not married, and she looks like she is not young, although she has a child, but it doesn't look like her child for so long." ”
"Bump!" Shopkeeper Wang put down the brush and twisted his eyebrows very unhappy, "Do your own thing, you can manage so much." ”
Xiao Er was yelled, stood back and didn't speak, but he still muttered a little unhappily in his heart, the shopkeeper Wang looked at it coldly for a while, picked up the Mao notebook again, and looked up again, thinking that it was necessary to lay off people, what are these recruits.
Gong Ning is the person with the dart this time, Lao Yang just finished a dart, is resting in the dart game to watch the field, he naturally came according to Jiang Yuanyuan's time, came very late, and was about to catch up with lunch, Jiang Yuanyuan packed up his things late last night, I thought it was late, but I didn't expect Gong Ning to come late, and finally counted it casually, just in time to leave after lunch.
