028 Proud Building
A lot of Kim and the two little butts drank a lot of sago and sand grain rice before and after, and didn't want to continue drinking too much tea. Chu calmly got the silver and was relieved, thinking about walking around and seeing the style of the county.
"Why do you need to pay the shopkeeper five taels of silver for a poem?"
Walking out of a few streets, Xu Gongzi asked, seeing that he had endured it for a long time.
"Oh my God, you are as smart as a local tyrant, you can't even think of the value of that poem?" Chu Congrong's expression was very exaggerated and surprised.
"Don't talk nonsense directly, this son is a guarantor, if you don't have the right version, others will laugh at this son for having no eyes!" A lot of gold said with a serious expression.
It seems that the local tyrant has lost his temper, and he really shouldn't have too high hopes for the cultural heritage of the rich.
"True elegance doesn't have to be said directly, but should be experienced by the customer himself. Listening to the sound of bamboo and knowing the meaning of elegance, I left that poem, how many literati will want to see it, maybe there are still people who want to complete the poem? And there is a base of the best sago pearl dew that the emperor has never drunk, how many curious tea customers come to hear the wind and want to drink a fresh taste? I promise they'll be doing a lot better tomorrow than they were before! It's still too little to ask him for five taels. If the shopkeeper is clever enough, he will at least pay a lot of money for me to offer them pearl rice, presumably because he wants to wait until after everyone has tasted it in three days, or maybe he can't be the master. ”
After hearing this, Duojin said disdainfully: "You don't brag, if the business is not good, King Taiping Jing will trouble me, be careful, I will sell you!" ”
"Hehe, brother Tuhao, although you are ruthless, you are soft-hearted, little girl, I am too ugly and worthless." Chu Congrong didn't care, she looked at him seriously, this guy has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, he is indeed a very good-looking big boy, and he should be regarded as a little fresh meat in her time and space.
Seeing that she was staring at herself indifferently, Duojin feigned anger and said, "How can a woman stare at a man like you!" ”
Alas, is this guy going to teach this girl a moral lesson about whether men and women are intimate?
"First of all, I'm just a little girl under twelve years old, what's wrong with you? Secondly, I'm admiring your beauty, what's wrong? Besides, as a friend, I want to remember what you look like, what's wrong? Finally, I want to see if the real soul is interesting under your handsome skin, what do you think?"
Hmph, look at it and have opinions, if this girl is a few years older, it would be strange if I didn't tease you!
Many Kim choked on her words and suddenly lost his temper, touched his nose in embarrassment, and turned his eyes into the distance.
Walking to a bustling street while talking, the twins are attracted by the dazzling array of snacks on the street, but they always abide by the first rule, which is to follow their sister closely. Chu calmly saw their salivating appearances, so he bought them a string of sugar gourds and a little pastry.
The two of them happily ate the sugar gourd, and they were so happy that they were endless, and the children were easy to be satisfied.
Chu calmly looked at the shabby clothes on their bodies, and then looked at his own body, which were also very worn, no wonder he encountered countless strange eyes along the way. A dazzling rich boy is next to him, followed by three little beggars, can he not attract people's attention?
She decided to buy some cloth for the family and go back and make some decent clothes, not glamorous but clean and tidy. happened to see a cloth village, so he led the two brothers in, and the local tyrant Duojin also followed.
"Shopkeeper, do you have any cheap coarse cloth, tell us how many of them?" Chu calmly spoke directly. The shopkeeper looked at her, and then at the lot of gold behind her, and for a moment he didn't know what to introduce.
"You don't have to look at him, he's a rich man. It's our sisters and brothers who want to buy cloth, ordinary peasant families, not looking the best, just durable and cheap. Chu said calmly and unceremoniously.
"This girl, our Jincai Cloth Village is mainly high-quality cloth, and the cheap coarse cloth shop you want can't provide it for a while. The only coarse cloth in the shop is a bit thicker, which is more suitable for winter wear. The shopkeeper politely introduced, without the slightest impatience.
"Then please bring it to me." Thicker on the thicker, big deal to save until winter.
Chu calmly thought to himself, he was too reckless, and he ran into a high-end cloth store? However, in order to show that he is not stage frightened, he has to deal with it head-on, and then he will say that there are local tyrants in the back of the town, and there will be no stinky things that will be driven away.
"Don't hide it from the girl, although this is a coarse cloth, it is the most popular last year, but the store has more purchases that cause a backlog, if the girl sincerely wants, I will give you cheaper, but I want to recover some of the cost." The shopkeeper said very truthfully, and his expression was also very sincere.
"And how many more do you have? What price are you going to give me?" Chu calmly touched the cloth and felt that it felt good.
"This cloth was originally sold for 30 wen a foot, and the purchase price was 14 wen, I can give you 10 wen, if it is more, it can be less than 1 penny. As for the twenty-three horses in stock, if the girl can finish them all, she will only charge you eight cents and one foot. ”
It seems that the shopkeeper's determination to clear the inventory is very great, no matter what the other party's role is, it will be directly thorough. Thirty feet of cloth and twenty-three horses is a lot of money.
Chu calmly thought to himself, if he could pull it back and put it in the autumn, it would undoubtedly be a very cost-effective business, and it would be easy to sell it for twenty wen at a price of eight wen in the town. It's just that each horse needs two hundred and forty yuan, and twenty-three horses will have a backlog of five and a half, which is something that he can't afford at present. She thought about it, and simply solved it on the spot in the county, and she should be able to make a small profit.
"Shopkeeper, I'm confident I'll take it all, but I can't cut cloth, can you let a guy help me for an hour? Also, I don't pay for it first, and I'll let the guy bring it back directly. ”
When the shopkeeper heard that the other party did not pay, he hesitated for a moment but agreed. Although he didn't know them, with the clothes of this son, he would never cheat for a few coarse cloths, and besides, he had his own plan to follow.
Chu calmly asked many Jin about the most lively vegetable market in the county, led the twins, and asked the guys to run directly with cloth and scissors, and many Jin followed behind without saying a word. This is not the peak time to buy groceries, but there are still many people in the market. Chu calmly looked at the lively place, borrowed a table from the nearest store, put the cloth up, and immediately shouted.
"It's a good cloth, come and buy it!"
"Thirty pennies of cloth, one penny can buy a foot!"
"After this village, there is no such shop!"
"It's better to buy the wrong one than to let it go!"
"Bloodletting! All it takes is an article! Daning has never been cheaper! ”
"It's only for twenty horses, and those who shoot fast have it, and those who are late are gone!"
……
With her shouting, many people gathered around, who has ever seen a penny of cloth per foot? Don't be cheap! Those who can come to the vegetable market to make a living will be rich and noble, and there will always be a market for cheap goods here.
"It's a bit thick, and you have to wear it in autumn and winter."
"If it's cheap, buy it back first, and then sew clothes after a while when it's cold."
"Little girl, how can this cloth be sold, is it really a penny a foot?"
……
Chu calmly and patiently explained, this cloth is sold for thirty wen and one foot in the famous Jincai cloth village in your county. Now she sells cloth for 30 yuan for the first foot, 15 yuan for the second foot, and only one yuan for the third foot.
Some people doubt the authenticity, the guys of Jin Cai Buzhuang have played a role, and some have seen Xu Gongzi, and a lot of gold has also become the best guarantee.
So some people paid for it, some bought three feet, some bought six feet, you want the black one, I want the gray one, and the young man is busy cutting it......
Soon, the twenty pieces of cloth were swept away, and under the strong demand of everyone, Chu Congrong released two more horses, and the last one was not willing to be sold. With such a cheap thing, you have to keep some for your family, otherwise you won't have to spend another money to buy it when autumn comes.
While the young man went back with more than five taels of cloth to pay the errand, Chu Congrong was also calculating his gains. The cost of each three feet of cloth is 24 Wen, the selling price is 46 Wen, and the net profit is 22 Wen. Each horse of 30 feet netted 220 wen, and 22 horses got 42 taels and 40 cents. Except for the ten yuan for the freight, twenty yuan for the guys, and ten yuan for the tables, chairs and venues, this activity took more than an hour before and after, a little longer than expected.
Haha, this is really a small pond that can catch big fish, and it is a pure accident to have a big harvest unintentionally!
This time, Chu Congrong learned to be smart, and found a cloth shop that mainly sells ordinary coarse cloth, and pulled some thin coarse cloth suitable for summer wear, and it was more than enough for each person in the family to make three sets of clothes.
Seeing her with a villainous expression, many Jin didn't comment much, but were interested in whether she could make sweet and sour fish.
The local tyrant is amazing, looking down on this girl? Although Chu Congrong was dissatisfied, she didn't dare to reveal the slightest dissatisfaction in order for the twins to be able to eat.
It's past lunch time, and it's probably time to rush back after a meal. Alas, Daddy's ginseng hasn't had time to buy yet. I made more than nine taels today, even if I can't buy the whole one, I can buy at least half of it.
Over there, the twins are actively paying tribute to the local tyrants.
"Brother Tuhao, the fish made by my sister is so delicious, I don't even let go of the fish bones, and the sixth child is even more exaggerated, even the fish juice is mixed with rice."
"Brother Tuhao, the mutton made by my sister is more delicious, and the uncles and uncles who helped praised her, saying that it tasted better than that made in many restaurants!"
"My sister can also make tofu, which is fragrant and spicy, and adults say it is very delicious."
……
In order to show their energy, the two little guys compete to betray their sister's affairs one by one. Chu calmly heard the anger next to him, and betrayed his sister for a bite of food, this is his good brother? Also, are you going to drive this girl to the cook's way?
This girl is a white-collar worker who eats by her brain, not a cook who eats by her skills!
The three siblings were led to a restaurant called Proud Restaurant.
"Life needs to be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon. I am born to be useful, and my daughter will come back to me. Cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle for pleasure will require 300 cups of drink......"
Chu Congrong was groaning happily, and two strange eyes shot from the side, and she immediately stopped them vigilantly.
Mom, this girl is really floating! I only earned a few taels of silver and got carried away, and when I saw the three words of Proud Building, I actually poured out with pride, and casually chanted the poet fairy Li Bai's "Will Enter the Wine". I'm an illiterate peasant girl.
She quietly glanced at someone with her peripheral vision, God forbid, I hope this guy won't care too much, it won't be good if it affects her thighs.
Fortunately, Duo Jin seemed to care more about food, he just found the shopkeeper and said a few words, and the shopkeeper led Chu Congrong to the back kitchen without saying a word, which shows that this guy should be a regular customer here.
Although the name of the proud building and the store are very atmospheric, the business should not be very good, which can be seen from the expression of the guys, from the use of the tables in the store, and even from the atmosphere of the store. But after all, it is a big restaurant in the county, and all kinds of dishes and ingredients are quite complete.
There happens to be live carp in the store, since the local tyrant is obsessed with sweet and sour carp, in order to hug his thighs for a long time, this girl will satisfy him this time. Chu calmly rolled up his sleeves, chose a carp of about two catties, and operated it as a one-time operation, removing the gills and internal organs, and cleaning up the fish body with a grid-like knife flower. Then use green onions, ginger and wine to mix cooking wine on the spot, and put the sorted fish in it to marinate for a few minutes, which is to remove the smell and increase the flavor. After a few minutes, the fish is scooped up and wrapped in a towel with the aim of absorbing the water from its surface.
Then mix the water flour paste, take a little flour, add the corn starch you brought, add some salt and cooking oil, add water and stir until it is mixed into a yogurt shape, so that you can hang paste on the fish body, for the sake of deliciousness, try to hang the paste on each piece of fish.
After finishing this step, Chu calmly poured oil into the pot, visually inspected it until it could not pass the appearance of the fish, and then heated the fire until the oil boiled. I saw that she grabbed the head and tail of the carp with both hands, bent it into a bow, and fried the fish in hot oil, which was to shape the fish so that it could raise its head and tail. Fry the fish repeatedly for a while, and then fry the whole fish in the oil nest. The frying time is controlled according to the size of the fish and the temperature of the oil, and after a few minutes, it can be scooped up and plated.
The last and most important step left is the sweet and sour sauce. Put a little oil in the pot, add green onions, ginger and garlic foam, stir-fry over low heat to bring out the fragrance, then add some vinegar and sugar, add some soy sauce to enhance the color and freshness, of course, salt is indispensable, stir while stirring until it is blistering, then add cornstarch to viscosity, and the sugar juice will become.
First, pour some hot oil on the fish prepared earlier, pour the sweet and sour sauce on the fish, sprinkle some green onions on the surface and decorate it slightly, and you're done!
Chu calmly looked at the works that were finally made, at least they smelled very satisfactory in appearance and smell, and the rest was to see if they could withstand the tasting of local tyrant gourmets. She was a little apprehensive and weak-hearted, not knowing if she could live up to someone's expectations, and after thinking twice, she decided to serve it herself.
Die, die, it's a big deal to do something else to please him later!
