Chapter 25: Four Pieces of Frugality (2)

"Okay." Lao Li Tou agreed very happily, "It just so happens that I have something to go out, and I will come back later, and I will leave Li Gui for you to help." I've already bought the ingredients for today, and in the kitchen, you look at them. ”

"Okay." Shen Yiyi agreed.

After eating early, Lao Li Tou packed up and went out. Li Gui leaned on the door frame, tears in his eyes: "My father must have borrowed money, we owe rent, and we have been on credit for several days, but half of the guests are missing, I don't know what to do......"

As he was talking, suddenly three guests with burdens and straw sandals on their feet came to the door, Li Gui was so happy that he quickly wiped his tears and stepped forward to greet him, but the guests turned around and left after listening to him report the name and price of the breakfast. For them, the delicate breakfast is useless, there is too little oil and water, it can't fill the stomach, and it is expensive.

Li Gui's tears came out again.

Seeing that the customers had already stepped out of the store, Shen Yiyi was anxious and shouted: "Everyone, stay!" ”

In the face of the guests who carried the burden and wore straw sandals, this remark seemed a bit crepe, but the plaster on her face successfully attracted the attention of the guests, and they really stopped and stared at her face curiously.

Staring at the young woman's face, whether ancient or modern, it was impolite, and Little Pepper slapped the chopsticks on the table, and it exploded immediately. Shen Yiyi hurriedly pressed her hand, signaling her to be calm and not impatient, open the door to do business, you have to endure the unbearable of ordinary people, as long as it is not too excessive, you should not see it, and make money with anger, and make money with anger.

Shen Yiyi stood up, greeted the three guests, and greeted warmly: "Guest officer, what do you want to eat?" Fried white sausage? Powdered soup? Bloody soup? ”

These were eaten early when she was in Fuyang County, the materials were simple, the method was simple, and she could make them according to the gourd painting scoop. In fact, she wanted to sell rice noodles and sad noodles and the like, but she had no choice but to go to work in a hurry, with insufficient preparation and lack of ingredients.

The guest in the lead finally took his gaze back: "Fry four pieces, fry four pieces in three bowls." He thought about the high-end breakfasts that Li Gui had reported before, and cautiously asked, "Is there four pieces of frying?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Shen Yiyi said in a straight voice.

She has also eaten four fried pieces, which is similar to fried white sausage, but the ingredients are slightly different.

The three customers finally started to walk towards the store, and the leader said, "Three bowls of pigs." He thought about it and was still not at ease, so he asked again: "How much is a bowl?" ”

This is really difficult for Shen Yiyi, the price in Hangzhou is higher than that in Fuyang County, she didn't dare to answer rashly. Fortunately, Li Gui was next to her and told her in a low voice: "In the foot shop outside, it usually sells a bowl of fifteen to twenty wen." ”

That's right...... So is it the highest price or the lowest price? Their business is not good in the first place, they are afraid of scaring away customers, and they are sorry for her cooking skills. Shen Yiyi pondered for a while, had an idea, and said to the three guests: "The original price of the four fried pigs in the restaurant is 20 wen a bowl, but today's new dishes are fresh, and the preferential reward is only 15 wen a bowl." ”

What kind of preferential treatment, the guests didn't understand, but the difference between 20 and 15 wen, they understood, they all showed a reassuring and satisfied smile, and found a table and sat down.

Shen Yiyi walked quickly to the back, beckoned to Li Gui, and asked in a low voice, "Is there any pork offal in the kitchen?" ”

The so-called four pieces of pigs are all kinds of miscellaneous pieces such as pig intestines, pig blood, pig hearts, pork belly, etc., the types are not limited, what is cooked, and the four things are four pieces of pigs.

"Nope." Li Gui glanced at her with a strange expression. How could they have these coarse ingredients in their kitchens!

"Go buy it!" Shen Yiyi was categorical.

Li Guiyu hesitated: "Miss Lin, do you really want to make four pieces of frying?" But, but my father ......"

Shen Yiyi guessed his thoughts, and said without waiting for him to finish: "Your father is the chef of Fenghe Building, and I am not, he won't blame you." ”

This was very reasonable, and immediately dispelled Li Gui's doubts, he nodded, and ran towards the back door: "Then I'll go and get some credit." ”

Do you even have to rely on credit for offal? However, from this point of view, Lao Litou's reputation is still good, otherwise others will not give him credit.

Shen Yiyi went to the kitchen to light a fire and prepare seasonings, and Little Pepper followed, intending to help her. Shen Yiyi chased her and said: "There's nothing to do with you here, you still do what we said yesterday, go to the streets, and see if there is any small business we can do, I can't help people cook for a lifetime." Ah, by the way - give me the dogwood ointment, I'm going to use it. ”

Little Pepper took out a small wooden box and handed it to her, and said, "Miss, you should put it aside, Hangzhou Mansion must be the same as Fuyang County, and it can't be too spicy." ”

"I know, as long as I can get rid of the fish, the cost of this thing is not low, and I will lose money if I put too much." Shen Yiyi took the wooden box, waved at her, and urged her to leave.

Miss never dared to stay alone, but now that she has really grown up, Little Pepper completely forgot that she was one year younger than Shen Yiyi, revealing a kind of old mother-like gratifying eyes, and walked away step by step.

This shop must not be far from the vegetable market, Li Gui quickly bought the pig offal, pig intestine, pork belly, pig liver, pig blood, exactly four. Obviously, his style of selecting ingredients is from Lao Litou's faction, and he chose the four higher-grade pork offal, rather than picking pig hearts and lungs.

After all, frying four pieces is only fifteen yuan a bowl, and the cost must be controlled, Shen Yiyi asked him: "How much is a pound of these chops?" ”

Li Gui replied: "These are ten wen a catty, pig heart and pig lung are cheap, five wen a catty, but I didn't buy it." ”

One pound of ten wen, plus condiments and firewood, etc., the cost is about fifteen wen, and one pound of chops can make at least five bowls of fried four, so the gross profit of four pieces of fried pig per bowl is as high as seventeen wen! Even if she gave a discount to the three guests outside today, she would still earn 12 wen per bowl!

In this way, although the price of the dishes at the foot shop is low, the profit is quite high! Shen Yiyi settled the account, and immediately became excited as if she had been beaten with chicken blood, and carried the pig offal to clean.

She thought about frying four pieces of temporary cooking, which took a long time, and was worried that the guests would not be able to wait, so she turned around and ran away, so she asked Li Gui to pick up a few plates of the side dishes made by Lao Li Tou and give them to the guests for free. Although this move is suspected of sticking money, the situation is special, and it will be good for her to prepare later and get on the right track.

At that time, people made four pieces of frying, probably just to fill their stomachs, and they didn't pay attention to it at all, so they washed the pork offal casually, boiled it in plain water to soften, and served it on the table. Although Shen Yiyi is not as stubborn as Lao Li Tou, she also has her own insistence and categorically refuses to make a casual boiled white water chop. She scooped up clean water, washed the pork offal repeatedly, especially the pig's large intestine and pork belly, and kneaded it several times with vinegar and salt.

Considering the taste preferences of the people at the bottom of the society, she cut the pork offal into large pieces to ensure that the guests bite into a bite full of real ingredients.

When she was in Fuyang County, she ate four fried pieces, whether it was four pigs, four sheep or chickens and ducks, there was a common problem, that is, the smell was fishy; In order to solve this problem, she put minced ginger and garlic in the four pieces of frying, and also sacrificed the fishy artifact, dogwood paste.
