Chapter 52: A Business That No One Cares For
Ye Jinyan stood up and said lightly: "It's useless to talk too much, I must go, there will be no spare money at home, and if I continue to eat and drink like this, I may not be able to open the pot one day." ”
Although Ye Jinyu knows the difficulties at home, she ......
"Do we still have more than ten taels of silver? It's probably quite a lot. ”
Ye Jinyan asked rhetorically: "Silly brother, do you know what it means to sit and eat the sky?" ”
Ye Jinyu stopped talking, no matter how many books he read in front of Ye Jinyan, he couldn't say anything, his sister was the most powerful.
"Sister, don't be angry, you remember to go early and come back early, I'm waiting for you at home."
Ye Jinyan nodded, turned around and walked into the room to pack up some entanglements, and prepared to take the ox cart to the township the next day.
Although she has a lot of silver in her hand, it doesn't matter if she eats for three or five years, but who knows what accidents will happen at that time, Ye Jinyu has to take an exam after attending private school, and there are more places to use money, and more than ten taels of silver can't last at all.
The next day, the cow at the entrance of the village "mooed", and Ye Jinyan had already packed up and went out.
And Ye Jinyu woke up after Ye Jinyan went out, and at this moment, the outside was all shrouded in fog, and it was white.
Every morning, there was an ox cart, swaying from the front of the village to the town, Ye Jinyan gave a few pennies to the owner of the ox cart, and sat in the back of the ox cart with a group of aunts.
"Ouch, you don't know, it's been a great time!" The older aunt held the burden in both hands, and her eyes were as bright as thieves.
"What happened again? Has the town been restless lately? ”
"A thief or a robber?" A few younger girls looked at the older aunt in surprise.
Ye Jinyan sat in the corner and didn't attract attention at all, she held the burden full of preserved eggs, and lowered her eyebrows and thought.
In fact, Ye Jinyu is very right, this preserved egg is not accepted by most people, but she still wants to gamble, maybe there are many people who like it, maybe there are many people who like it, if this thing is really unpalatable, it is impossible to pass it on for hundreds of years, she believes in the things of her ancestors.
"Oops! What! It's the seventy birthday of Jia Yuanwai, who has a lot of money in the town! ”
"I also remembered when you said that, he seems to have hired a particularly famous cook in town."
"What's more! As long as it is a famous person in the town, you can be invited to come, and I heard that the main dish is Double Dragon Playing Pearl, which is super amazing. ”
"Double Dragons Playing with Pearls? Why haven't I heard of it? Oops, I really want to open my eyes to see what Jia Yuanwai's 70th birthday is like. ”
They are all village women from nearby villages, not to mention being invited to a birthday banquet, they even stand at the door and take a look, so these are just after-dinner conversations for them.
The ox cart was much slower than the horse, and it took most of the day to reach the town
When the sun came out, the fog cleared.
On the side of the white jade bridge, several girls selling flowers held lotus flowers in their hands, smiling innocently and kindly, they ran around the bridge barefoot, and their voices were extremely crisp, "Sell flowers!" Sell flowers! ”
Ye Jinyan sat on the edge of the bridge and spread out her baggage, and placed the preserved eggs in her hands in several columns neatly.
The result was really the same as Ye Jinyu thought, no one patronized, even the little girl who sold flowers only looked at it a few times and ran away.
The preserved eggs she sells are the same as ordinary duck eggs, but its price is three times higher than ordinary duck eggs, in fact, duck eggs are not cheap, and her preserved eggs are even more so, so some people only look at them but don't buy them, and some people don't even look at them.
Ye Jinyan sat by the bridge for a whole day, from the clear sky to the setting sun.
She sighed, put her baggage away, and walked back.
I don't know if it's the relationship between Jia Yuanwai's birthday, the inns in the town are full of people, only the restaurant still has spare rooms, but the restaurant is twice as expensive as the inn room.
She counted a few copper plates and placed them in the shopkeeper's hand, "I want the cheapest room." ”
"Erniu! Take the girl to the cheapest room. The shopkeeper put the copper plate in his hand into the drawer and waved his hand.
"Okay!" With a powerful response, a swarthy face appeared in front of Ye Jinyan.
Ye Jinyan smiled and beckoned to Erniu, "Brother Erniu!" ”
She lives in this restaurant, mainly because Brother Erniu is here, after all, as a girl, it is very inconvenient for her to travel, and it is good to have an acquaintance.
Brother Er Niu saw that it was Ye Jinyan, raised a big smile, and asked when he took her to the room, "Is it Jinyan, why do you have time to come to town today?" There haven't been many markets lately. ”
Ye Jinyan smiled shyly, "I don't have much money left at home, and I plan to come to the town to find some work." ”
Erniu nodded, just as Ye Jinyan was about to enter the room, Erniu suddenly stopped her, he twisted for a while, and asked, "Sanniang, did you ask you to bring any message?" ”
Although Ye Jinyan didn't want to disappoint him, she really didn't know that she came to the town to Sanniang.
Erniu was stunned and said with a smile: "If you don't, forget it." ”
Ye Jinyan suddenly blurted out: "Brother Erniu, Sanniang said that she was waiting for you to go back." ”
"Huh...... I know! After hearing this, Erniu's face flushed.
After Ye Jinyan said a word to Erniu, he took the burden and walked into the room.
There is only a bed, a tattered table and a wooden stool in the room, I heard that the wooden things in the most exclusive room of this restaurant are made of sandalwood, and her most ordinary and dilapidated room is estimated to be only made of a few pieces of wood, but it is still very expensive.
Ye Jinyan shook off the burden and took out the clean and shiny preserved eggs inside, how to sell these preserved eggs so that ordinary people could accept them?
Today she sat by the busiest bridge for a day, and no one appeared, which was really a very troublesome thing.
Ye Jinyan sighed and opened the baggage, and put the preserved eggs back again, could it be that Ye Jinyu's stinky boy said that he couldn't do it.
No, there must be a new way.
Ye Jinyan plans to start with the chef in the restaurant to see if he can let the chef create a new dish, and if he cooks it with preserved eggs, maybe he can make them like preserved eggs.
Downstairs.
The cooks of the restaurant are all crammed into a small stove room, which is dark and full of white smoke, if you don't know that this is a stove room, you may really think it is on fire.
Ye Jinyu walked in cautiously with her baggage, although she was over fourteen years old, she was not tall at the moment, just like a small person, very abrupt in a group of tall cooks.
"It's not right!"
"I said, this dish has to be fried three times, how can you fry it once and it will come out of the pot, and the fried ones are not cooked enough to taste good, are you making this sauce yourself? Why is it so unpalatable? ”
The chubby chef walked nimbly in the smoke, but those small eyes showed full disgust, Ye Jinyan's eyes were aimed at him, and he decided to sell his preserved eggs.
