Chapter 17: Setting Up a Stalls in the Town
Watching the crayfish gradually turn from earthy gray to bright red, especially the red with a circle of golden light. That's what she wanted, crispy and crispy, with a red shell covered with an oily sheen.
She looked at these crayfish with joy on her face, as if she saw a copper plate floating over, picked one up, so hot that she couldn't help but blow it, after peeling the shell, she put it in her mouth, a burst of garlic fragrance and the fresh fragrance of meat, instantly filled the entire taste buds, she was a little surprised. There is no liquor at home, and I didn't expect that crayfish without liquor can taste so delicious.
This time there were a lot more crayfish than last time, she stir-fried them twice, and then put some in the pot so that they could eat when they got up, and cooked sweet potato porridge, which she knew was enough for the family today.
She took the crayfish and sat in the car of the donkey uncle, the fare of the donkey cart was a little expensive, and she paid ten copper plates at once. Because of the high fare, very few people take the donkey cart, and this time I went to the town, not as many people as last time. Because it was too early, many people probably brought breakfast to eat on the road, and as soon as they got on the donkey cart, they smelled a burst of fragrance, and they were concerned about Su Yanniang's going to town.
After inquiry, they learned that the head of the Lan family was going to the town to do business, and they only saw a bamboo basket, and inside the bamboo basket was a pot that was always black, and they couldn't tell what it was.
Most of the people who can get on the donkey cart have a good business in the town, and Su Yanniang also wants to take the opportunity to learn how to buy and sell, so everyone started talking.
It's all from the same village, and everyone often meets, and they ask Su Yanniang what they are bringing to sell. Su Yanniang replied, "Crayfish."
Everyone was curious to ask what the crayfish was. She didn't know how to explain it to everyone. She thought about it and explained to everyone that she saw it in the town and thought it was very novel, but she didn't expect that they also had this thing in their village.
She had heard about the method, and she didn't know if it was good or not, and if it weren't really difficult at home, she wouldn't have to bother thinking about these methods so much.
However, the car was full of experienced people, and she cheekily consulted a few words. "Uncle, I don't know what kind of business you are doing?" An uncle who sat next door to her, she just saw that the uncle seemed to be selling food, and he carried a lot of things into the car.
"This is a radish, this year's radish harvest is good, the direct selling price is too low, I used the ancestral secret recipe to dry, and the business has been good in recent years." After chatting with the uncle, he found out that he didn't actually see this practice, but he brought it to sell when he sold fresh radish, who knew that it was out of control, and the people in the town liked to eat, especially some restaurants, and came to buy it from him, which made him a little flattered, and then he sold it specially, which can be several times higher than the price of ordinary fresh radish.
There is another one, which is to make some corn tortillas, and he has some cucumbers and shredded carrots in them, and adds them to the secret sauce that he brews at home. Who knew that as soon as it was launched, there would be a good business immediately.
From the few people asked, Su Yanniang came to a conclusion, these people inadvertently sold novelty things, and then became popular, she is not too worried about her crayfish not being able to sell now, she is thinking about how to sell herself.
At first, she thought about selling casually, but now that she thinks about it, she still sells it by the only one, and she can choose it for them, she feels that she has thought of an excellent way, and she can't help but narrow her happy eyes into a line.
But even if she is confident, she will be worried about whether she can sell it. Everyone comforted her, everything is difficult at the beginning, just let her persevere a little more.
After an hour, the donkey cart was much faster than the ox cart, and the speed of the ox cart was actually about the same as walking, except that there were oxen to walk, which was not so hard.
According to her previous memory, Su Yanniang came to the stall she had set up with Aunt Yang before, she looked up at the position she had seen before, and touched the only ten copper plates left in her pocket. Gritted his teeth and fought hard. The ten copper plates in the car were saved by her, and the ten copper plates of the remaining stall were exchanged for rice by her.
She walked to the stall she looked at, because she came earlier, there were fewer people in the market, she put the crayfish down, according to the eldest lady, the time when the market opened was a quarter of an hour, she looked up at the sky, before the ox cart, as soon as they arrived at the market, it was very lively, their position was not fixed, it was easy to be placed by others.
Today, she didn't want to put someone else's place, so she put it in the position she liked last time, she put down the bamboo basket on her back and opened the lid.
took out an iron basin, a pair of scissors, and a pair of chopsticks, she put the basin and scissors on a plate, picked up the chopsticks to clamp the crayfish in the jar, and then put the crayfish in the iron basin on the side, and after clipping out a dozen, she put the chopsticks in the jar, and then picked up the scissors, and cut the crayfish in the iron basin into three sections of equal size
After cutting more than a dozen crayfish and covering the iron basin, she took out the black jar and put it aside, then turned the bamboo basket upside down and put the pot of cut crayfish on top of the bamboo basket.
Looking at the gradually crowded market, she began to shout, "Come and eat crayfish, jump fresh crayfish, try crayfish, delicious and refreshing crayfish."
After a while, her stall was full of people, everyone had curiosity, she was in the old chef's compound in her last life, every time she encountered a new dish, she couldn't help but want to try it, she thought, this is what can attract people.
The people standing in front of the stall were wearing all kinds of clothes, some gorgeous and some coarse cloth, but they were all listening carefully to Su Yanniang's introduction, and some people were suspicious and picked up the crayfish and tried it.
"Hey, it seems to taste pretty good!" Hearing someone comment, everyone else couldn't wait to reach out and try what it was like.
Someone else asked, "Can I eat this?" Su Yanniang replied, "Yes, this is a native product of our countryside, not available elsewhere." You can try again! ”
The first person who tried it before had already asked for twenty to take away, Su Yanniang took out the bamboo leaves she had prepared, put twenty crayfish on two large bamboo leaves, and gave them to the person to take away.
Su Yanniang's price is not high, a crayfish is a copper plate, she thought, if it is delicious, it should be no problem to be more expensive. As she expected, after a while, most of the people who tried it bought a little back.
"Boss, give me twenty more." This voice was a little familiar, Su Yanniang hurriedly looked up, "It's you!" There was excitement in his voice that could not be concealed.
"Yes, those twenty went back, and one of them was eaten up by the debt collectors at home." The man smiled shyly, "No, it's not enjoyable yet, so you just want me to buy some more." ”
This is the first repeat customer, Su Yanniang was very excited, "Okay, I just have twenty left, I'll give them all to you!" After speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and clamped them on the bamboo leaves one by one.
"Here you go, it's twenty copper plates." This care person is not wearing particularly good clothes, but the workmanship is more exquisite in all aspects, and it looks like a family. Su Yanniang smiled, "You are my first repeat customer, I will give you a discount, collect ten copper plates, and save up for the journey." Su Yanniang counted ten of the twenty copper plates to the guest.
"Haha, boss, you're too good at business, I don't know if you'll come tomorrow?" The man thinks his family likes it, and he may have to buy it tomorrow.
"Yes, if it's okay, but it's normal to come once every two days." Before noon, Su Yanniang's crayfish had been swept away, she put the empty jar in the bamboo basket, then bought some meat and rice, put it all in the bamboo basket, and slowly walked to the village.
Originally, she wanted to grit her teeth and sit in a donkey cart, but looking at the sun hanging in the center, she felt that it was impossible for the donkey cart to go back so quickly, so she still walked back by herself, and if it was early, she could go to the river to catch crayfish.
The thought of having a repeat customer today makes her feel unusually good. Touched the copper plate in her pocket, she bought more than 100 crayfish at once today, she just bought meat and rice, and only spent more than 30 copper plates, and now there are 80 copper plates in her pocket, as soon as she thought of this, she began to get excited.
If she continues like this, she will be able to meet in the near future, and she can become a little rich woman. But in order to prevent the second child from being lazy, she won't expose her little secrets, at least not for the time being.
As soon as she stepped into the door, Su Yanniang felt that her two legs were about to be wasted, and before she could open her mouth as soon as she entered the door, she heard Lan Xiuwu and his wife, who were crying and shouting in the second room, and they had been shouting loudly to the four girls to work.
As soon as she put down the bamboo basket on her back, hid the meat and rice she bought, she went out at once, and after a while, she dragged her tired legs to Lizheng's house.
After a while, she came out of Lizheng's house, holding two strings of copper plates in her hands, one string was fifty, and two strings were hundred, and she walked back with a smile on her face.
"Auntie, what are you looking for?" As soon as Su Yanniang saw the sneaky figure, she was angry, the eldest aunt actually took advantage of the danger of others and almost emptied the Lan family, and now she is actually preparing to come again.
Hearing a sudden voice behind him, the sneaky man quickly stood up and patted his chest, "Daughter-in-law Xiuyuan, you scared me." ”
"Ha, auntie, why are you peeking at my door, is there anything beautiful in my house?" She asked with a sincere expression.
"Ah, what's the matter, didn't I hear someone in your family crying out in pain, so let's see if there is anyone who can help?" The second aunt is hiding in her eyes.
