Chapter 179: Selling Laba Congee

All the people who worked for Wei Ruo, Wei Ruo did not fall behind.

In Xu Ji's lo-mei shop, Chen Aqing held the bowl and drank it in a big gulp.

Seeing that she was so drunk, Wei Ruo couldn't help but say, "I wonder if I usually deducted you like this and didn't let you eat enough." ”

"No, Miss, your porridge is delicious! Your craftsmanship and Sister Xiumei's craftsmanship are so good! Chen Aqing explained.

"It's not a matter of craftsmanship, it's a matter of materials, this bowl of porridge uses yellow rice, white rice, Jiang rice, millet, water chestnut, red cowpea, peeled jujube paste, mixed together with water and cooked, and then dyed with red peach kernels, almonds, melon seeds, peanuts, hazelnut, pine nuts and white sugar, brown sugar, trivial grapes to do some dyeing."

There is a lot of attention to boiling porridge, but it is not so particular, it is a pot of boiling with water, and there is really not much embodiment of craftsmanship.

This porridge is more about the ingredients, and other places really don't necessarily have the effort and leisure to make this porridge with so many materials.

"This ...... So many things, huh? That must be very expensive......" Chen Aqing looked at the empty bowl in his hand in a daze, and regretted that he was in a hurry.

"It's okay, I can afford to eat for you once in a while, and I don't just give you food, I will sell it in a while, tomorrow is Laba, it is suitable to sell this porridge."

Saying that, Wei Ruo explained to Chen Aqing: "After a while, a conspicuous position will be vacated in the store, and this porridge will be sold, a bowl of one or two silver." ”

"A tael of silver?" Chen Aqing was directly stunned, unable to believe his ears.

"Yes, a tael of silver." Wei Ruo replied firmly.

Hearing this, Chen Aqing swallowed her saliva, and then looked at her empty bowl again, so didn't she just drink a whole tael of silver in one go?

Although she felt that this price was very expensive in her heart, Chen Aqing didn't ask much, she believed Wei Ruo unconditionally, and felt that Miss's price must be reasonable!

When Wei Ruo used this material to cook this porridge, he made up his mind that he wanted to sell this porridge at a high price and sell it exclusively to rich and noble families.

Since its opening, Hui Kee Lo Mei Shop has attracted many nobles in the city to taste it through the publicity of Mrs. Yuan, and then accumulated a group of rich and powerful loyal customers for itself.

Although the last time I had trouble with Drunken Xianju, it also publicized Xu Ji Lo Mei Shop to another extent.

Nowadays, there is no shortage of rich customers in the shop, and everyone recognizes the taste of the lo-mei shop, so if Wei Ruo puts this laba porridge in a conspicuous and eye-catching position in the store, there will definitely be people who are willing to spend a lot of money to taste it.

Sure enough, at noon, Xu Ji Laba porridge sold several copies.

In the afternoon, there were even more people who bought them, and some of them tasted them on the spot and bought several bowls to take home.

Wei Ruo only prepared one barrel to sell, and it was sold out by the time it was two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and a total of thirty copies were sold, or thirty taels of silver.

Chen Aqing still can't believe it, so he sold it for thirty taels of silver! It's like a trick!

Although Wei Ruo was not surprised, he was also surprised by the speed of sales.

From the very beginning, Wei Ruo knew that even if her porridge was priced at five cents, ordinary people and poor families would not buy it.

What they need is to be fed and clothed, not to eat any kind of delicacies in the world.

But the powerful and rich are different, they pursue quality, and the more expensive things are, they feel worthy of their identity.

Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, which is the truth.

Counting the thirty taels of silver in her hand, Xiumei was very happy: "Miss, this Laba porridge is too profitable!" In addition to our costs, the profit can be more than we sell vegetables, sweet potatoes and lo-mei! ”

"Don't be too happy, we still have to prepare the ingredients when we go back today, and we have to sell them for another day tomorrow." Wei Ruodao.

"If I can earn so much silver, I won't sleep tonight!" Xiumei said excitedly.

"That's not possible, your body is worth more than silver!" Wei Ruodao.

"Miss, what about me, you don't do it yourself often? You are tired at every turn when you are related to other things, but as long as you are touched by silver, you can not sleep all night! Xiumei retorted.

In fact, in addition to making money, there is also the matter of saving people, Wei Ruo will also forget to sleep and eat.

Belch...... There is no way to refute it.

"Okay, okay." Wei Ruo hurriedly changed the topic, "Hurry up, busy with the rest of the matter, there are a lot of ingredients to prepare, if you are slow, you won't be able to catch up with the good day of the Laba Festival tomorrow." ”

Then Wei Ruo didn't give Xiumei a chance to continue talking about herself, and pulled her into the carriage.

###

Early the next morning, as soon as the Xu Ji Lo Mei Shop opened, a stall selling Laba porridge was set up in front of the store.

Yesterday it was only placed in a conspicuous position in the store, but today it was good and placed directly in front of the store.

A sign was erected next to it, which read: "Laba porridge, one or two bowls." ”

At first, people passing by thought that the owner of Xu Ji Lo Mei Shop was crazy for money, and a bowl of ordinary porridge dared to sell it at such a sky-high price.

But soon people with such thoughts found out that they were wrong, such expensive porridge was not only bought, but also a lot!

The families of high-ranking officials, wealthy merchants, and children of big clans in the city are the buyers of this sky-high price of laba porridge.

On the same street, Zui Xianju also sold Laba porridge on this day, but obviously the business was far less good than that of Xu Ji Lo Mei Shop.

In the afternoon, the shopkeeper Shen of the Drunken Immortal Residence came to find Wei Ruo in Xu Ji Lo Mei Shop.

"Is Gongzi Xu here?" Shopkeeper Shen asked Chen Aqing, who was busy in front.

"I don't know, I'm busy with business." Chen Aqing replied.

In fact, Wei Ruo was in the courtyard behind the shop, but Chen Aqing still said that she didn't know, because she didn't know if their young lady wanted others to know that she was here.

Xiumei's sister taught her, and in this case, she told people that she didn't know.

At this time, the shop was lifted through the curtain in the backyard, and Wei Ruo walked out from behind.

"I've seen Xu Gongzi, it's like this, my son-in-law wants to invite Xu Gongzi to the Drunken Immortal Residence, I don't know if it's convenient for Xu Gongzi?" Shopkeeper Shen smiled and asked Wei Ruo politely.

"I'll go with you now." Wei Ruo replied briskly.

"Okay, Xu Gongzi, please come with me!" Shopkeeper Shen was busy leading the way for Wei Ruo in front.

When he arrived at the Drunken Immortal Residence, the shopkeeper Shen still took Wei Ruo to the box in the corner where the word Crane Pavilion was written on it.

Like last time, Fan Chengxu sat alone in the box, with tea and some pastries in front of him.

"Boss Fan, what are you looking for me today?" Wei Ruo asked straight to the point.

"Ask you, when will the five-spice powder and oyster sauce we negotiated last time be available to me, the last time you said you would give you some time, I think it's been long enough now."
