Chapter 355: Free Tasting
"Did you hear that? What is there in the east of the city...... Braised vegetable shop, free tasting, half-price sale on the first day of opening! ”
"Braised vegetable shop? What braised vegetable shop?? I haven't heard of it, can I eat it? ”
"If you can eat it, won't you know if you try it? No money anyway! ”
"Who does the buying and selling without money? Don't fold the bottom of the book? ”
"That's it, that's it! The shopkeeper is stupid?? You won't deceive people into tasting it, and then ask people for money, right? ”
"Can't! The shop is not far from the prefect's yamen, can a liar dare to deceive under the nose of the prefect? ”
"Let's go, let's see! Look and don't need money......"
……
In the city of Jinweifu, the common people are talking about "Yuji braised vegetable shop" in twos and threes. The opening of Yu Ji Braised Vegetable Shop spread to every corner of Fucheng like a cool autumn breeze.
And Yu Xiaocao, who came up with the gimmick of tasting for free, is busy distributing braised vegetables to people waiting in line to taste it! In front of Yu Ji's braised vegetable shop, there was a long queue, and Liu Hu and Yu Hai were busy maintaining order.
Originally, these people were watching from afar with the idea of coming to see. In the beginning, there were many people in front of the braised vegetable shop, and everyone didn't believe that there was a free lunch. Or a few classmates of Xiaoshi's family in Fucheng, such as the little fat Sun Runze and Liu Jinye, heard that the braised vegetable shop had a trial opening today, and hurriedly asked the next people to come and queue up. They huddled in front of the glass window, drooling as they watched the roast duck, roast chicken, smoked chicken, smoked duck, and bacon inside.
In the first place was the kitchen manager of Sun Runze's house, Yu Xiaocao pointed to the braised pork and bacon cut into slices on the plate, and said with a smile: "Welcome to taste!" ”
The steward of the Sun family glanced at his young master, raised his voice, and asked loudly, "Can I taste it without buying it?" ”
"Yes!! We have a soft opening today and launch a free tasting, half price discount on all dishes! You can try it without buying it, but you can only try one piece of each dish! Yu Xiaocao replied with a smile.
The housekeeper of the Sun family tasted everything and praised the braised pork. The young master has already selected the roast duck, roast chicken and salted duck that need to be bought, and has picked a big sauce elbow. If it weren't for Yu Xiaocao to stop him, he might have bought all the varieties!
"Now the weather is still a little hot, and the dishes can't be left for a long time, so you can buy what you eat today, and if you buy too much, won't it be a waste to go back and spoil it?" Yu Xiaocao saw his momentum and stopped him in time.
The housekeeper of the Sun family, looking at the price of braised pork, is cheaper than the raw pork on the market now after half price, and the taste is good, so he couldn't help but quietly ask the little master: "Little master, my wife likes to eat meat, but her teeth are not good, this braised pig's head meat is fragrant and glutinous, and the slave wants to ......."
"You have money in your pocket, you can buy it if you want to! What do you want me to do!! The little fat man forked a piece of crispy roast duck with a toothpick, put it in his mouth and tasted it deliciously, and then said to Yu Xiaocao, "Second sister, your roast duck is no worse than the taste of Zhenyulou, and the price is so cheap, if Zhenyulou is crushed, it depends on whether the Zhou family will find you anything!" ”
"Look clearly, five taels of silver is half the price, and the original price will be restored tomorrow!! Besides, the dishes such as roast duck and roast chicken in our store are only sold in limited quantities of ten per day, and we do not accept reservations, so it will not have any impact on Zhen Yu Lou!! Yu Xiaocao quickly packed up and collected the money, and quickly sent away a few of Xiaoshi's classmates.
At this time, it was cold again in front of the store. She let go of her voice and shouted: "Yu Ji Braised Vegetable Shop has a trial opening today, free to taste, and the time limit is half a day." If you want to taste it, you can try it or not. The free tasting event ends at noon! Don't miss it when you pass by!! ”
Today is the second day after the college exam, and there are still many students nearby who have not left. A student in his twenties, dressed in a blue robe, came to the window, looked at Yu Xiaocao and asked softly, "Excuse me...... Have you ever sold braised vegetables at Tanggu Pier? ”
Yu Xiaocao raised her eyes to look at him, nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes!" Our penny meat dishes at the wharf are very famous, not only the local Tanggu people, but also foreign merchants, who are full of praise for our pickled vegetables. This eldest brother, since you have heard of our family's braised vegetables, try it to your liking. ”
The student blushed and waved his hands and said, "I'm not here to taste it for free." My dad used to bring me your braised vegetables from the dock, they were delicious, and our family liked to eat them! It's a pity that I haven't been able to buy it since last fall, so I'll go home early tomorrow morning and want to bring some braised vegetables back......"
"There are many more types of braised vegetables in our house, I don't know which flavor you prefer, try everything!" Yu Xiaocao knew that the reason why he refused to taste it was because he was afraid that his classmates would take advantage of him, so he persuaded him to try the taste.
The blue-clothed student looked at the prices of various braised vegetables in the window, picked up the cheaper two and tasted them, and estimated that he didn't even taste the taste, so he hurriedly weighed half a catty of pig's head meat and paid for it and left.
"I heard that you don't need money to eat here? Give me a little bit of everything!! A fat, fat, chubby, triangular-eyed old woman came to the door of Yu Ji's braised vegetable shop, and arrogantly instructed Yu Xiaocao to weigh her meat.
"Oops! Isn't this the mother-in-law of the king's lame? This old lady loves to take advantage of the most, and she is unreasonable, and she loves to mess around. There's a good show to watch! The people who watched and saw that they had more or less bought some of the previous tastes, and they couldn't understand whether this taste was free or not, and they still watched from a distance, until the fat old lady came over, and gradually got closer to see the excitement.
Yu Xiaocao felt that she should be the same kind of person as the Zhang family from the demeanor of this fat woman. However, judging from her clothes, she is not too poor to afford to buy vegetables. No matter how picky you are, you have to have a time to entertain guests, and when you celebrate the New Year, you have to get a meat dish for your family. In Yu Xiaocao's opinion, as long as she is not a beggar on the street, she is a potential customer.
With a warm smile and a sweet voice, she explained: "Auntie, it's free to taste!" If you like any dish, you can try a piece and try it!! ”
"A piece? What kind of taste can you try in one piece? Since it's free, don't pick and search like this. As she spoke, her fat hand picked up a toothpick, and fiercely went to the pickled vegetable fork on the plate, bringing up four or five pieces of braised pork.
Yu Xiaocao stopped her hand, pointed to the leaflet in the shape of a notice posted on the wall, and said loudly: "Auntie, if you come to participate in the free tasting event, we welcome it, and please abide by the rules of the event!" We have written very clearly that we can only taste one piece of each dish, so that every customer who is interested in our Yu Kee braised vegetable shop can taste the taste of the dishes. Instead of making you feel full!! ”
"I have a big mouth, I can't taste a piece!! Do you do business or not? Said that it was free to taste, but it didn't let people taste it, and coaxed us like two fools, right? If you can't afford to lose, don't engage in these vain heads!! Wang's lame mother-in-law smelled the tempting fragrance of the pickled vegetables, swallowed her saliva incessantly, squeezed her toothpick's hand, and tried to break free from the shackles of Yu Xiaocao.
Yu Xiaocao's eyes were firm and his attitude was resolute: "I still say that, if you come to participate in the event, you will come according to the rules!" Otherwise...... We have to ask the prefect to judge whether we are deceiving the guests or you are unreasonable!! ”
In the crowd, a voice sounded: "Cripple Wang, are you here too?" Hurry up and bring your mother-in-law back, don't be embarrassed here. The little girl said it, and the notice was also posted, and one person could only taste one piece. Look at what your gluttonous mother-in-law does? ”
The lame mother-in-law Wang's hand trembled when she was caught, her face suddenly changed, and she hurriedly put down the toothpick in her hand and lowered her head to make a quail shape. Wang Cripple is not bad, but he has two problems, one is to love face, and the other is to beat his wife. However, most of the time it was his mother-in-law who was looking for a beating!!
"What are you doing?" The lame king squeezed into the crowd, his gloomy gaze as if a wounded old wolf was staring at the enemy.
The fat woman's flesh trembled for a moment, and her voice trembled and whispered, "No...... Didn't do anything...... Heard...... I opened a braised vegetable shop here, and I was thinking of buying some fresh food for you to go back to drink......"
The fat woman knows that her man loves face the most, and she wants him to know that she just tore it up with others in order to eat two more pieces of meat, and she will be beaten up when she goes home and waits for her!
Seeing this, Yu Xiaocao pointed to the leaflet on the wall and greeted: "This uncle, our pickled vegetable shop has a trial operation today and carries out free tasting and half-price activities. Come and give us a taste and give us some advice! ”
Wang Cripple's family was good when he was young, he studied for a few years, he carefully read the rules of activities on the wall twice, came to the window, tasted every dish carefully, looked at the price again, and said: "This crispy roast duck, roast chicken and salted duck are similar to the taste of Zhen Yulou, and the price is a little cheaper." However, it's not something that we ordinary people can afford. These braised and bacon meats also have a unique taste...... Then weigh two catties of braised elbows. ”
"Okay! Two catties of braised incense, two hundred and sixty wen for one catty, two catties is five hundred and twenty wen, and I will give you half the price, as long as two hundred and sixty wen......" Yu Xiaocao gave her aunt a look, Yu Caifeng quickly weighed and packaged, and then waited to collect the money.
The lame king glanced at his fat woman, frowned, and said, "What are you still stunned about?" Hurry up and pay ......"
The fat woman touched her purse and said with a sad face: "I ...... I didn't bring any money when I came out...... "I just said that I would help him buy braised vegetables and wine, and then he said that he had no money, what kind of dishes did you buy if he didn't have money?" The onlookers burst into laughter.
Wang Cripple's eyes at his mother-in-law were even more gloomy, he glared at her fiercely, and then said to Yu Xiaocao: "Little girl, these two catties of elbows will help me keep them alone, and we will go back to get the money." Don't worry, my home is not far from here, and I'll send you the money in a moment. ”
