Chapter 136: Acquired at a high price, making money
They went straight to the inn where they stayed last time and asked for a room.
Zhou Cuihua and Liu Pan'er lived in the house, and Village Chief Li lived in the ox cart with Dabao and Mao Dan, on the one hand, to save money, and on the other hand, to guard the things in the basket.
Meals are also eaten in turns, and people are not separated from the ox cart.
Fortunately, the night was peaceful, and after breakfast the next day, and after tidying up, Liu Paner drove the ox cart and took Li Dabao and the village chief and his wife to the delicious building together.
There are very few people who come to the restaurant to eat in the morning, although the delicious building is open, but there are only two shopkeepers cleaning inside, and the shopkeeper is accounting for yesterday's accounts.
Liu Paner stepped forward and said politely: "Are you the shopkeeper Li of Meiwei Building?" ”
Shopkeeper Li, who was taking inventory, raised his head and looked at the little woman who was asking, "I am the shopkeeper of the delicious building, this lady, you came over early in the morning, something is wrong?" ”
Liu Paner replied: "Shopkeeper Li, Master Gu went to our Lijia Village a few days ago, and felt that the new crops grown in our Lijia Village were very good, so he specially asked me to contact you." ”
When Shopkeeper Li heard this, his eyes lit up, this was what the young master personally explained before, and he hurriedly got up, "You are Liu Niangzi, right?" My master followed, please come in. ”
Recently, jade jelly has only begun to be sold in the delicious building, the color is good-looking, and it clears away heat and relieves heat, which is a good product to relieve the heat.
Although the price is not expensive, the cost is just some leaves, which is negligible.
It doesn't make much money, but it is better than novelty.
Now as long as the diners who come to eat at the delicious restaurant will order a plate of jade jelly.
As soon as Liu Pan'er heard this, she knew that Master Gu had not broken her promise, "Yes, Shopkeeper Li, I am Mrs. Liu." Need a food tasting now? ”
Shopkeeper Li nodded, "I heard from the young master, it tastes good, I haven't tasted it." It just so happens that there is someone in the kitchen, and I'll take you to see it. You make it, give me a taste. ”
Liu Pan'er responded, "Then there is Shopkeeper Lao Li to lead the way." ”
Village Chief Li was watching the ox cart outside, and Zhou Cuihua and Li Dabao followed behind Liu Paner and followed Shopkeeper Li into the kitchen.
At this time, there was only one cook and a fire-burning servant in the kitchen, who was responsible for making breakfast. The chef was rolling noodles, and after Liu Pan'er saw it, her eyes lit up, and she ate tomato toppings after a while.
Shopkeeper Li didn't leave, but stayed to see what Liu Paner did.
Liu Paner picked out the ripe tomatoes, washed them, used a knife to make a cross cut on the tomatoes, and then used boiling hot water to peel the tomatoes outside, divide them into four, and cut them into small pieces.
Meat oil is also used here, and Liu Paner first melts the meat oil into scrambled eggs, and then puts the eggs up. Stir-fry the green onions, ginger and garlic, stir-fry the tomatoes until soft, then pour the eggs into it, and finally put a little salt and sugar. Because it will be poured on the noodles later, Liu Paner put out the tomato scrambled eggs with soup and water.
Shopkeeper Li smelled it and thought it was good.
Liu Pan'er smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Li, you can taste it." ”
Shopkeeper Li picked up the chopsticks and clamped it, the dish was sweet, the taste was really good, and nodded, "Yes, suitable for all ages." ”
"This soup has a lot of soup and can be poured on top of the noodles, and it tastes good. If it is used as a stir-fry, you don't need to put so much water. Liu Paner introduced.
The chef next to him, who didn't pay attention to Liu Pan'er's side at first, saw the fried things at this time, and also leaned over, tasted a few bites, and liked it very much.
Now that we've tasted it, let's start talking about business.
Thinking of the young master's explanation, he didn't let him lower the price, and the shopkeeper Li also understood that if he didn't give a high price, it would not be suitable.
After thinking about it, the shopkeeper Li replied: "This tomato is thirty yuan a catty, and the chili pepper is also thirty yuan a catty, and the recipe for the tomato scrambled egg just now is five taels of silver." How's that? ”
Liu Pan'er was quite surprised and happy to hear that the price could be sold so high, "Thank you Shopkeeper Li." It's just that the method of scrambled eggs with tomatoes is very simple, and those who have eaten it can learn it by pondering it, and they don't need to give money. ”
Of course, Shopkeeper Li knew that the recipe for tomato scrambled eggs was very simple, but this was explained by the young master, and he couldn't take other people's things for nothing, "Even if it's simple, it's the first time I've made it, and it's also a fresh recipe." Your family's things can only be sold to our family this year. ”
Liu Pan'er nodded, "Thank you Shopkeeper Li, don't worry, there are two acres of tomatoes and two acres of peppers planted at home, and there are not many of them, which can supply all of them to your family." It's just that our home is far away, and there is only an ox cart, which is eighty miles away from the county seat, so it is inconvenient to go back and forth. I also have four children at home, and my husband is fighting at the border, so it is not easy to get out. Can you send someone to drive a wagon to pull the goods? ”
Shopkeeper Li thought for a while, nodded and replied: "This is easy to say, then what if I send someone once a few days?" ”
Liu Paner replied: "Three days." It shouldn't be less than the current number each time. ”
"Okay, that's it." Shopkeeper Li should go down, the chili pepper brought back by the young master last time, let the chef replace the dogwood, and the dishes made are very delicious.
As long as it is launched, it will definitely attract diners in the county.
Four baskets of tomatoes, a basket of about forty-five catties, a total of one hundred and eighty catties; A basket of chili peppers is fifty catties, and four baskets are two hundred catties.
Tomatoes and chili peppers add up to 380 catties, and 30 wen a catty is 11,400 wen, which is converted into silver, 11 taels and 44 yuan.
Coupled with the recipe of tomato scrambled eggs, five taels of silver, this time I came out and earned sixteen taels of silver.
Zhou Cuihua was speechless in surprise, there are few seeds this year, they didn't plant them, and next year they must buy peppers and tomato seeds from Liu Paner.
Thirty dollars a pound!
Oh my God, one pound can sell three catties of noodles or three catties of rice.
In the end, it was agreed that three days later, in the early morning, the shopkeeper Li sent someone to Lijia Village to buy tomatoes and peppers.
Zhou Cuihua came out of the delicious building almost with the same hands and feet, and after recovering from her senses, she held Liu Pan'er's hand tightly, "Yuanqing's family, you must leave more seeds, we spend money to buy seeds, tomato seedlings, pepper seedlings." Next year, our family will also plant, we must stay! ”
Liu Pan'er smiled and happily agreed, "Auntie, don't worry, I have already kept all the best and strongest tomatoes and peppers in the field, and I will be able to leave a lot of good seeds when the time comes." However, if there are many people planting next year, it may not be able to sell at such a price. ”
Zhou Cuihua said with a smile: "Even if it is not as high as it is now, it will not be too low." After all, this is just Cuiyang County, and the bigger one outside is Xunyang Mansion, or even the entire Great Zhou, so many places. We can't use up this place, we can sell it elsewhere. This tomato may not be easy to transport, but the pepper is no problem to transport far away. ”
Liu Pan'er happily agreed, "That's what my aunt said." ”
When Village Chief Li learned that Liu Paner's tomatoes and chili peppers cost 30 yuan a catty, he couldn't believe it, and tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, looking forward to planting chili peppers and tomatoes next year.
Seeing that Village Chief Li was about to speak, Zhou Cuihua hurriedly reminded that her wealth would not be exposed, "Don't say it, go back and talk about it." Now the Yuan Qing family still has to buy seeds, write letters, and send letters to the post station. Don't waste time. ”
