At midnight (about 90 o'clock), the front of the Fucheng Yuji Braised Vegetables Shop was crowded with people who came to buy braised vegetables. It has been almost three months since the opening, and Yu Kee's business has become more and more popular, from the beginning of marinating one pig a day, to now two pigs may not be enough to sell.

From the beginning to the tail of each pig, and then to the hooves of the water, there is almost no waste, and the marinated has its own taste. The best-selling ones are the head hoofs and the water, because the price is relatively close to the people, and the taste is not worse than the braised pork, which is loved by ordinary people in the neighborhood.

Although, in a place as big as Fucheng, there is no shortage of meat sellers. However, most of the pigs are purchased from other places, and the price is still more expensive than in previous years. For example, in previous years, the highest amount of pork was more than 30 wen a catty, but this year, affected by the disaster year, Tanggu pork rose to more than 100 wen per catty, and the cheapest in Fucheng was also sold at 8 or 90 wen a catty.

The living standards of the people in Fucheng are much better than those in Tang Gulai, but ordinary people who want to eat stewed meat have to think about it for a long time, gritting their teeth, stomping their feet and tightening their belts, so that there can be more meat on the dinner table.

Usually the pig's head and water in the butcher shop, even if it is a gluttonous person, will not buy it. Because no matter how you deal with it, there is always a fishy smell that cannot be removed, and it is difficult to swallow. But the head and hooves of these chicken ribs and the water, when they reach Yu Ji's hands, they become a delicious and attractive fragrance.

After marinating, the head and hooves are in the water, which is delicious and the price is very low. Let's put it this way, a pound of braised meat costs 130 to 150 yuan, and a pound of braised large intestine and braised pig heart and pig lungs costs 50 or 60 yuan per catty. With such a price close to the people, even an ordinary family can weigh a pound to satisfy their hunger. Many surrounding villages and towns will also bring some back when they come to Fucheng to catch the market.

As a result, the Yu family's head and hooves have become a sought-after commodity, and the supply exceeds demand. At this time, Yu Xiaocao was not there, and Liu Hu and his wife were at a loss in the face of disappointed guests every day.

Liu Junping was a thoughtful person, he quietly inspected the butcher stalls and butcher shops in Fucheng and surrounding towns, and found that they had a good business, they could sell one or two pigs a day, and they could sell a pig two days when the business was bad. And the pig's head and pig water from these butcher stalls and butcher shops will eventually be left.

He went back and told his father and mother about these situations, and the family of three came forward, and Liu Hu took his son to come forward and made a long-term cooperation agreement with these butcher stalls, and they bought pigs' heads, pigs' trotters and pigs at the price of three cents per catty. A pig has to have twenty or thirty catties of water with its head and hooves, so that the owner of the butcher stall butcher shop has nearly 100 more incomes, why not?

Liu Junping took over the work of buying head and hooves and launching the water, and drove the donkey cart back and forth to the butcher stalls and butchers in Fucheng and the surrounding areas every day, bringing back at least seven or eight pairs of head and hooves and launching the water.

Dealing with the head and hooves and the water is not an easy task, Yu Caifeng's mother and daughter have to braised meat and vegetables every day, and also roast high-end dishes such as smoked chicken, duck and goose, so busy that they hit the back of their heads, and they can't wait to have a few more hands. The increase in the head and hooves has invisibly increased their workload, and it is common to be busy until late at night in order to deal with the head and hooves in order to deal with the head and hooves in the water.

Fortunately, Yu Xiaocao didn't stay long after returning to Dongshan Village, and when she came back, she saw her aunt and cousin's sunken eyes, blue and black eyes, and exhausted figures, so she immediately made a decision - to recruit a group of people who specialize in dealing with head and hooves and water.

Yu Xiaocao also re-divided the work in the store. She is in charge of the ingredients for the braised pork herself, and all the spices and spices are ground into powder and placed in a large jar. How much marinade is needed for a pound of meat, weigh it directly, and put it in, and then temporarily prepare it when the time comes.

She also taught her cousin Liu Yan'er how to make roast duck, roast chicken and salted duck, as well as how to smoke food. As long as the ingredients are grasped accurately and the heat is mastered, there is actually nothing difficult. Liu Yan'er is also a smart person, and she gets started very quickly. Half a month later, as long as it is not a very picky glutton, it is almost impossible to taste the difference between what she makes and what Xiaocao makes herself. Because she makes limited-edition products, she doesn't work very long hours every day, and the rest of the time she helps sell braised vegetables in the store.

Aunt Yu Caifeng is responsible for marinating all kinds of marinated vegetables every day, and the four cauldrons have never been extinguished from morning to night. Liu Junping came back every day after collecting his head and hooves and going into the water, he helped his mother wash the meat, cut the meat, and light the fire, and when the store was busiest, he would also help collect money and weigh the meat.

Liu Hu was responsible for collecting pigs in the surrounding villages that had not been affected by the disaster, slaughtering them on the spot and transporting them back. I am busy from morning to night every day, and sometimes I am far away, and I may not be able to come back that day.

To deal with the head and hooves and the sewer, he hired two daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law who worked nearby more quickly and meticulously, and endured hardships and stood hard work, and each person gave 30 wages a day, which was equivalent to the wages of an adult man who worked vigorously. These two daughters-in-law and mother-in-law, the family situation is not very good, one has a mother-in-law who takes medicine all the year round, and a man broke his leg after working in the first two years, and he has a hard time walking.

Although it seems quite pickled to deal with the head and hooves in the water, the key is to make money, and the women who can't pick their shoulders and can't lift their hands can get the same wages as the men who carry coolies, and there are many people waiting to do it.

When these two people were selected, Yu Xiaocao and her aunt's family secretly investigated for a long time. Both of them are honest and honest, and their families are also dutiful. The business of the braised vegetable shop is so good now, and there are not a few people who are red-eyed. However, when it opened, there was the support of the prefect and the prince of the county, and those people didn't dare to do anything on the surface, and they couldn't make some small moves in private after a long time.

Yu Ji braised vegetable shop, whether it is the secret recipe of roast chicken, roast duck or braised pork, take out one at will, it can make people greedy. In the future, after the development of the braised vegetable shop, more people will definitely be hired, which must be strictly controlled, so as not to recruit people with ulterior motives.

The Yuji pickle shop next door also opened. Most of the pickles in the store were brought in by Yu Xiaocao from Tanggu Xiaojiang at wholesale prices. Now, most of Xiaojiang's pickle shops are recipes provided by Xiaocao, and the taste is naturally not to be said. In the Yuji pickle shop, Xiaocao contributed several exclusive secret recipes and made several pickles with unique tastes. Not long after it opened, the pickle shop business was no worse than that of the pickle shop.

The business is too good and distressed, Xiaocao stays in the pickle shop every day, passing the scales and collecting money, her voice is tired and hoarse, and her speech is like a duck's call, which is very ugly. When Liu came to Fucheng for the first time, he also got busy in the pickle shop. Originally, she planned to come to Fucheng to have a look, and she would go back the next day, but it turned out that it was more than half a month to help, and she really couldn't leave.

Zhu Junyang passed by Fucheng when he returned to Beijing, came over to take a look, and saw that Xiaocao's originally thin little face was now even more fleshless, and his chin was so sharp that he could poke people to death, and his heart was a little stuffy.

He clutched the part of his heart and wondered: when did the dark wound remain? I've never felt anything strange in my chest before, but why have I had frequent seizures lately? No, when you return to Beijing, you have to ask the imperial doctor to give a careful examination, so as not to die young.

Zhu Junyang stood across the street from Yu Ji Pickle Shop for a long time, silently looking at the busy but vivid figure in the store, as if he couldn't see enough.

At noon, both the pickle shop and the pickled vegetable shop finally dispersed in front of the store, and the people in the two shops breathed a sigh of relief. Yu Xiaocao wiped his hands with a damp cloth, took off his floral apron, moved his arms, and kicked his legs again.

As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw King Yangjun across the street, and hurriedly walked out of the counter and greeted him with a smile: "Little King Jun, when did you come?" Let's go to the hospital and rest for a while! ”

King Yangjun nodded silently and entered through the gate next to the braised vegetable shop. The front yard is clean and tidy, the path paved with bluestone slabs, and the gardens on both sides are planted with various vegetables on one side and autumn vegetables on the other, and they grow quite luxuriantly. The corners of Zhu Junyang's mouth were slightly hooked: I know that with this girl, I won't waste an inch of space.

Walking further in, there is an osmanthus tree on the left and right in front of the main house, and at this time, the small yellow flowers are blooming splendidly, and the strong fragrance wafts throughout the small courtyard.

Sniffing carefully, there was a strong smell of meat coming from the backyard. Zhu Junyang stopped and walked towards the small door next to him.

Yu Xiaocao said to stop him: "Xiaojun Wang, the backyard is a place for braised meat, it's messy, you still stay in the front yard, right?" ”

"It's okay, I just want to see how those delicious braised pork are marinated. How? Afraid that the master stole your secret recipe? Zhu Junyang's phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and he looked at her obliquely, and the corners of his mouth were hooked, with a bit of enchantment in the evil spirit.

In the face of such a bewitching and beautiful man, Yu Xiaocao almost couldn't control herself, and if she drooled at others, she would be embarrassed. She laughed dryly twice and said, "Look at what you said, Xiaojun Wang, if you want a secret recipe, the 'small' hand will serve it!" ”

Listening to this little girl's flattering words, Zhu Junyang suddenly felt that the sun was shining today, and the scenery was just right. The curvature of the corners of his mouth deepened, and he snorted and said, "What does the master want you to do with the secret recipe?" I won't take a fancy to your little profit! ”

The ships of rare treasures brought back from the West were all worth a lot. Let's just say that the pocket watch that Zhu Junyang gave to Xiaocao was priced at 5,000 taels of silver in the Treasure Pavilion, and it was out of stock in less than half a year. The cost of a pocket watch in the West is only a few dozen taels of silver, which means that every rare treasure has a hundred times the profit. The current net worth of King Yangjun is really comparable to few people in Beijing! Yu's pickled vegetable shop has a profit of one or two hundred taels every day. But in the eyes of Zhu Junyang, it is indeed just a "small profit"!

As soon as I entered the backyard, I saw that in the open kitchen, four cauldrons were steaming, and the thick aroma of meat wafted out of it, and even the rich fragrance of osmanthus could not cover it.

Seeing Yu Caifeng's mother and son sweating in the kitchen, Zhu Junyang's brows furrowed a little more, and asked, "These days, you are so busy working day and night every day?" ”
