Chapter 44: The Ultimate Goal

"Please let go, let go!" Liu came back with the cut oil paper, but there were more and more people around. "樂" Wen "Xiao" said|

The proprietress of the noodle stall next door had a smile on her face. While everyone was waiting for Liu, those who had not eaten were all at her noodle stall and ate a bowl of noodles with meat foam.

This business is much better than it used to be. Therefore, when I saw Liu's gaze, there was also a hint of eagerness.

"Yo, sister-in-law is back. If we don't come back, our saliva will be dripping all over the ground. In the diligent waiting of everyone, it can be regarded as the return of the Liu family.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting. Well, I'll give you a little more of today's bowl. ”

Liu's words are the favorite of many diners. Give a little more, the price is still the same, who is not rare?

"That's a good idea, big sister, bring me two bowls. "The first taster has not yet spoken, and the man next to him has spoken first.

As the two women were busy, when the crowd dispersed, there was not much snail left in the urn. The noodle stall next door is full of business because of Du Yi and his wife.

"Mother, why don't we go and eat a bowl of noodles, there are fewer people here, and there are not many left. Let's send it to the tavern and see if we can sell it. ”

Before Du Yi came, he told Liu that the goal of the two was still in the wine shop. The reason why I sell iron snails is to make a little money, and secondly, to be able to catch up with the wine store and prepare for the family's wine.

Liu nodded, and just when he put it away, he saw someone come over directly: "You are selling that iron snail?"

The person who came was a woman in her early thirties, slightly chubby, slightly taller than Lee's, and had a shrewd face.

"Yes, I don't know if this eldest sister is going to buy it?" Du Yi asked with a smile on his face as he asked the man who was obviously not a few years younger than Liu.

Xu was because she was called young, and when the woman heard Du Yi call her sister, a smile spread on her originally shrewd face.

"I'm the proprietress of Ho Kee Liquor Shop, and I just opened the door early this morning, and I heard that you have something to drink. Can you go to the shop?"

Doy glanced at the crowded streets, and had to nod. If you're hungry, then wait a little longer, it's important to make money.

Ho Kee Liquor is located in the center of Crescent Town, close to the Yamen. The entire restaurant is elegantly furnished and divided into two floors. As soon as you enter the store, you will be greeted by a faint smell of sake.

"Please come with me, two of you!" The proprietress of He Kee Liquor Store did not take Du Yi and Liu to the second floor, but went directly to a quiet room in the backyard.

"My surname is Cao, and my husband's surname is He. It's the proprietress of this Ho Kee wine shop, as for the title, it's up to you. Let's talk about the important thing first, I wonder if you two can take out the snail with the wine and let me taste it, and then let's talk about the price?"

Ho Kee Wine Store not only sells wine, but also food. The second floor is a private room, which is specially reserved for large families, and the first floor is used by small people. As for this backyard, it is for the housekeeper and the chef of the store. However, the two largest rooms will be vacant for the main family to entertain guests.

Whoever comes to Ho Kee Wine Shop, there is no one who does not buy wine. He remembers the rules of the wine shop, order wine first, then order food.

"This tastes really good, I don't know how much silver the eldest sister is going to sell?

He Cao's family is also a down-to-earth person, although his family is wealthy, he also knows the things in the field, and when the weather is colder, I am afraid that there will be no more. Therefore, I was not polite at this time, and asked directly.

Liu glanced at Liu Cao's, then looked at Du Yi, and said directly: "Don't hide it from the eldest sister, this is a river snail, also called an iron snail." You also know our climate, and in another ten days and half a month, I'm afraid it will be gone. That time will not be until at least after May next year. But these days, we can still provide it. I'm sure you also understand the retail prices on our side. Just in case you name a price that you're happy with, we'll discuss it again. ”

Liu was smart and didn't directly say the price herself, and it was impossible for her to show the low price first.

"In this way, I will give you a pound of six cents, and you don't have to be too little, how about we go with a large discount? ”

The bowl that Du Yi brought today is not big, and one and a half bowls can be filled with one and a half pounds. If it is calculated according to the price of a bowl of five cents before, now it is not cost-effective to pay six cents per catty. But He Cao is right, at least they don't have to set up stalls, and they don't have to be afraid of not being able to sell.

"That's it, eldest sister, how to do this snail, I believe you are a clever person, and you can see it clearly. We provide snails, you can make them yourself, how about I? I will sell this snail to you for five cents a pound. Of course, I have to tell you about this detailed method, otherwise the taste may be different. In fact, there is still a lack of a seasoning, and if there is, we can sell it at a higher price in the future. "Du Yi doesn't want to be so troublesome, the family still has to fry these snails, how troublesome, it is better to teach this He Cao family directly, and earn personal favors by the way.

After all, her biggest goal is not this. She wanted to make her own wine, and when the time came, she wanted to put it here and sell it on consignment. How much you sell, how much you give.

"Is this true?" He Cao felt that it would be better if Du Yi taught him directly. After all, the taste of this conch is excellent, but the girl in front of her said that it lacks a taste.

When the time comes, you will know how to do it, and you can fry it in your own wine store, and you will not lose much if you sell it today, and it will be fresh.

"Really, but the conch these days must be provided by our family, the price of one pound and five cents. Let's write in black and white, and the deed is the basis. ”

"Okay, refreshing. However, the snail is cheaper. After all, you don't have all that oil and salt, and you will pay four cents for a catty?"

When Liu heard that a pound was less than a penny, he disagreed at the moment. With a flicker of eyes, he said, "Big sister, this price can't be lower, and it's just a matter of the past few days." After waiting for a while, I still don't want to eat yet. By the way, our family is brewing a new variety of wine, if the eldest sister is interested, after a month, you can come to our house to talk in person, and you will definitely be satisfied. ”

Seeing the order of Crescent Town today, Liu was a little uneasy. She didn't want Doe to linger in the town any longer, for fear something would happen that would catch her off guard.

If you sell wine now, it is best to let this proprietress go to their Liujia Village directly.

He Cao's eyes were full of doubts, the two people in front of him were obviously dressed as village women, but the momentum was the opposite. It's like everyone coming out of the house.

Even if I didn't believe it, I believed it by looking at the smell wafting from the tip of my nose.

"That's it, the price is as you said. As for the matter of the wine, it will be too cold in a month, can it be early?" He Cao was afraid that it would snow and the road would not be easy to walk.

"Well, in twenty days. Although Doe knew that it was better to have a longer wine, she was completely unfamiliar with the climate here.

But those twenty days are almost enough. As for how much it will sell for at that time, that's another story.

After the three of them negotiated, the contract was made in black and white, and Du Yi wrote down the method of doing it. turned to take He Cao's out again, saying that he wanted to find a satisfactory bean paste in person. Wait until tomorrow to bring a new snail over and show you how to do it yourself.

And the rest of the river snails, He Cao's is very generous and directly counted as one hundred and fifty Wen, which can be regarded as a confession.

After going around, I still found douban sauce for Du Yi. After He Cao and Liu each bought some, they dispersed.

Du Yi muttered secretly in his heart, although the ancients were stupid, in addition to the chicken essence and monosodium glutamate, all soy sauce, vinegar and the like should be prepared.

Who said that the ancient people's cooking skills were not good? Just the women's family in Liujia Village had good skills. Although she hasn't eaten it, Liniang at home is a typical representative, and the food is fragrant.

"Yiyi, do we need to buy something to go back?" Liu Shi carried three hundred pieces of literature in his arms, and his heart was very excited. In the end, it is still not in vain, and there will be income in the next few days.

"Mother, I want to buy a small iron pot or something. "Doe still hasn't given up and wants to do soap things. The candles are not allowed to be sold, so she can make some of her own household products. And soap can also be used, right? Take this opportunity to investigate the market, it is still necessary.

"Let's go get a bite to eat and then go shopping. Liu felt sorry for Du Yi and still had an empty stomach, so he pulled Du Yi directly to the noodle stall next to the snail before.

"Sister-in-law, you can be regarded as here. I saw you had stood for so long and hadn't eaten. I wanted you to come over for a bite to eat, but you left again because of something. Thanks to you, my business is so good today. These two bowls of noodles, even if I invite you to eat them!"

Before Liu and Du Yi could get closer, they were pulled by the proprietress to one of the tables. Immediately afterwards, two bowls of noodle soup were served, and there was a lot of meat foam on them.

"How can this be done, big sister, you are out to do business, and it is not easy. Liu said disapprovingly.

And Dui seems to have no heart and lungs, so he will eat it first. She is really hungry, how can she have so much strength to speak, and it is not too late to talk when she is full.

Originally, these two bowls of noodles cost ten yuan, after all, a lot of meat foam was added, and one bowl was divided into enough. But the proprietress was forced by Liu to the end, and she still symbolically received a bowl of money.

After eating and drinking, Du Yi thought about the soap, and pulled Liu Shi to go to the iron shop to order some things she needed to prepare. Considering that the weather was getting colder and colder, I bought some more while cotton was still cheap. Before leaving, Doe also asked the proprietress to give them some tampons that didn't have much effect on them.
