Chapter 100: Finished (Two Chapters in One)

The shopkeeper of the restaurant Wu was a little embarrassed.

He knew in his heart that once this kind of noodles was launched, it would become a specialty of the restaurant, and he also had something to say when he sold it to the nobles.

When recommending to your guests, it can be said that it is fish not fish, noodles and noodles, which is not an ordinary seafood that can be replaced, and the different pasta flavors. Let the guest officers from other places have a good taste, even the bowl of noodles has tricks, don't think that they don't have delicious food in this county restaurant.

On the other hand, I was very hesitant in my heart, it was too expensive. One hundred wen can buy a broiler chicken, and at the price of pork that their restaurant often wholesales, one hundred wen can also buy five catties of fine pork.

But a hundred Wen only buys one pound of noodles, how many bowls of noodles can one pound of noodles make? Two bowls for male guests, and three bowls for female guests.

Their purchase price is so expensive, how much should they sell to customers to make a bowl, and it won't make customers feel wronged?

"Ninety words". In the end, Shopkeeper Wu still didn't want to give up the opportunity of "signboarding". The affluence of this county is quite okay compared to the surrounding counties, and it is very polarized. Those who have a way will be very rich, and the people at the bottom will also be extremely poor, especially in the border cities.

The jade ring noodles sold by the children and grandchildren are only aimed at the consumer groups of the wealthy.

The poor can't imagine it, but the Wu shopkeeper is clear in his heart, for the rich group, as long as it is delicious, it will always be worth it, and the rich group will even spend dozens of hundreds of taels of silver on the road for transportation for the vegetables and fruits that they want to eat, which is simply a serious illness in the eyes of ordinary people, why are they so greedy, the vegetables and fruits themselves are not worth a few dollars, but they have to throw so much money for the transportation road, it is not suitable or cost-effective. But the rich don't think so, they all think differently.

Then I guess I won't be stingy with spending a hundred dollars to eat a bowl of noodles that I have never seen before.

In view of this, the next Mid-Autumn Festival, Chongyang Festival, New Year's Day various major festivals are coming, and the wealthy families in other places will return to their hometowns one after another to visit their parents or worship their ancestors.

In addition, Shopkeeper Wu also remembered what the owner said the day before yesterday, saying that he should store more grain, vegetables and meat recently for emergencies.

He asked the proprietor why, after all, the grain stored in the restaurant was always purchased from the villages below after the autumn harvest, and even the salt was purchased at the cheapest time in the early spring, which was enough to use after the New Year's Festival.

If you still want to store a large amount of food now, the farmers in the villages below have no more food, so they can only buy it from the shop.

Once you go to the shop, the cost price of food and salt will be too high compared with before, and the price of vegetables cannot be raised at any time, let alone reduce the amount of vegetables in order to save costs, which will affect the credibility of old customers.

After his explanation, the owner's face looked a little hesitant at that time, and he didn't seem to be very confident in his heart, so he only said vaguely that it was better to prepare more, and the purchase price was more expensive, so as to prepare for emergencies, and it was a big deal to make less money by spreading the cost. Then the owner went to an inn in Xicheng today, so he was not in the restaurant.

Therefore, the shopkeeper Wu proposed when Mrs. Xu just promoted it, saying that the jade ring noodles are too expensive, and once the restaurant cooperates, it will not only buy and sell this time, but will set noodles for a long time, and I hope that Mrs. Xu will take advantage of the owner to come again tomorrow.

Helplessly, why is this pair of children and grandchildren, especially the little old lady, a little awesome? Say that you will leave tomorrow, and if you don't have time to come again, you can't be sure, if you don't buy it, you have to go to the next house, and wait for the money to be used in a hurry.

The shopkeeper Wu was a little speechless, is this the attitude of selling goods? Where did the inexplicable sense of superiority on the little old lady come from, obviously wearing a patch.

He could only pretend to grit his teeth and settle: "Zuo, but you didn't bring much in the basket, seeing that you didn't bring much, I will leave all the ninety wen and one catty, so I won't bargain anymore." This is the greatest sincerity I can show, if it sells well, you leave me an address that can contact you, and I will decide if it is sold or not. ”

Mrs. Xu not only didn't listen to the shopkeeper Wu's flickering, but also began to pack up the basket and plan to leave to sell in the next restaurant.

Shopkeeper Wu thought he had heard it wrong, but he didn't expect it to be a fixed price, and the ancestors and grandsons who gave people an extremely disobedient sense of dress and temperament also said something like that: "Even if you give 100 Wen, you can't sell all the jade ring noodles to you, let alone 90 Wen." ”

What do you mean?

Congratulations to Shopkeeper Wu for guessing correctly, Mrs. Xu did complain about this sentence in her heart.

She also has to leave a few catties to go to the real big restaurant in Fucheng to sell, the bigger the city, the more restaurants and nobles will be.

The reason why Mrs. Xu went to the county seat to sell was because there was too little money in her pocket.

The people in the village asked Liu Laozhu to help carry the goods and gave cash, and Mrs. Xu thought that she couldn't go to Liu Laozhu on credit, right? What's more, when she went outside, who knew Liu Laozhu's noble surname, Liu Laozhu had to spend money to buy whatever she wanted, and Liu Laozhu didn't have much money in her pocket, so she couldn't hold on anymore.

And this opportunity to go out is really rare, there are many things I want to buy, how can I make money if I don't buy more? If you don't buy food and clothing, how can your family survive the winter? I always felt that the twenty taels of silver I earned by bringing it out was not enough.

Besides, once it is gone, the family will be uneasy if there is no money left, in case anyone comes to the door to ask for an account, not to mention that there is a lot of copper plates to be set aside for people to give change, this change must be prepared enough.

This is why she sells sets and noodles again, and even her granddaughter is uneasy, and she still thinks about making soap and selling it home for money during the journey.

Mrs. Xu was in a hurry to exchange the spot for silver taels, after all, Liu Laozhu had just arrived in the county and started wholesale rapeseed oil and soybean oil lard, and she was going to give out at least five taels of silver tonight. The more cash she has, the more she will dare to buy more things without delaying her shopping, otherwise, to be honest, she will not be so eager to knock on the takeaway fish.

It took a total of 45 catties of noodles to make after a lot of hard work.

"You wait." Shopkeeper Wu chased him out, he was very depressed, he didn't expect the two grandparents and grandchildren to really leave, not to scare him and pretend. Seeing that if he doesn't shout again, people will go to the restaurant on the next street.

"Okay, okay, one hundred wen, I admit it, I don't know how old you are, I call me aunt. Auntie, how can you talk about business like this? didn't give me a penny, and sold me the whole sentence. I said something unpleasant, whether this jade ring can be sold well or not, your posture is enough, and you have to go to the next house. You go out to inquire, and some dignitaries in our restaurant can afford to eat a bowl of noodles for 180 yuan, change to a restaurant, do they have this kind of distinguished guest? ”

When Mrs. Xu heard that she was going to buy it, she turned her head and said with a smile and flattery: "That's why I went straight to your house, I don't hide it from the shopkeeper, I have a fellow villager who used to be a big shopkeeper in Yuelai Restaurant." ”

"Surname Liu?" Shopkeeper Wu really knows Liu Laozhu's eldest brother, a while ago he heard that the owner of Yuelai Restaurant wanted to invite people back, but I heard that he didn't know where he took his son to work alone, and they didn't come back.

is also a shopkeeper and a peer, and when he heard the news, he was very relieved for Shopkeeper Liu.

I didn't have to pay for Yuelai conscientiously for more than ten years, and the owner said that he would come back if he asked him to come back. They also have self-esteem as shopkeepers.

"Yes, it's him.

It stands to reason that it is better to go to Yuelai Restaurant or rely on his name to sell, and if you have an acquaintance, you will not even have to prepare your own noodles and side dishes and green onions, salt, and firewood.

But as soon as I went into the city to inquire, I heard that your Yingshui Hall here is a well-known name.

Come all the way to see you here three floors can push the window to see the river, the river also specially bought a big boat to eat in summer, oops, when the weather is warm, the breeze blows, the dishes and wine are so drunk, it is very beautiful. I knew that this was the place to sell good things, and you had come to the right restaurant. ”

Mrs. Xu mentioned the green onion firewood, which made the shopkeeper Wu a little embarrassed.

He is not stingy, he has self-recommended to "sell recipes" every few days, and everyone who comes will try his hand with the oil and salt seasoning and side dishes in his stove, and he can't afford it. Isn't this a scourge?

"I didn't expect you to have an exclusive craft."

"Understood." People rely on clothes and horses to saddles, and they look like they can't eat enough, and they can cook good food.

Mrs. Xu took out thirty-five portions of fish from the basket and knocked the noodles and put them on the table.

She named it Yuhuan Noodles, and she couldn't just ask the fish to knock it, because she was stupid and afraid that others wouldn't know that it was made of fish meat and would be beaten into mud.

Even if you taste it, you can tell that it's all made of fish, but you can't go straight to the point. She named Xu Yuhuan another name, how nice it sounds.

Mrs. Xu's noodles are also well packaged, and she can't bear her granddaughter's attention to these small details.

Unlike most noodle sellers who stack all the noodles together and wrap them in a piece of cloth, the sticky mess is mainly because she doesn't have extra soft white cloth at home.

In the absence of plastic bags and packaging boxes, Xu Tianxin collected a lot of old loofahs from various families in the village according to the teachings of his family and grandmother in the live broadcast room, and made pieces of round drawer cloth with loofahs, and sewed two drawer cloths.

When Xu Tianxin was stitching, he felt that it looked like he was sewing two pieces of instant noodles.

Wrap a pound of noodles in the middle of such a drawer cloth.

Each pound is divided into portions for easy access and storage.

During the production, Xu Tianxin made a lot of steamer cloths in one go, and also used old loofah pulp to make a lot of tea coasters, soup pot mats, and loofah brush dishcloths and bath cloths to send to the people in the village who were good friends with their grandmothers.

The white loofah must always be given something.

Xu Tianxin thought that even if the villagers provided raw materials, she would not be able to make soap for everyone in vain, and she currently had to rely on this small craft to sell money. But things like steamer drawer cloths and other small things, she is happy to make them for everyone, which is called coming and going.

And since the success of making soap, Xu Tianxin has even pondered cutting the loofah out of various shapes, planning to make transparent handmade soap, hiding various shapes of loofah in the soap core, which will look good.

At that time, she will ask her grandmother to sell all kinds of soaps to Qinglou again, which will become a purchase line. When she went back to Fucheng to buy some medicinal herbs, she also had to make Qibai ointment, red date ointment, Qixiang Tender Rongsan and hair care.

Grandma just dragged her to the rouge gouache shop on the way, saying that she would buy her money to wipe her face and hair, but she excused herself again, not because she didn't want to be beautiful, but because she didn't want to buy such expensive ready-made.

Because of the beauty recipe, the family members in the live broadcast room have copied it to the comment area, so Xu Tianxin plans to make it himself, and this time he will prepare the raw materials when he enters the city, and then use his face, the two "moles" and hair tests, so that it is really effective, and he can also sell beauty creams and hair care pills and even chewing pills and body lotions to Qinglou.

It can be seen that Xu Tianxin is really anxious to make more money.

Xu Tianxin knew that breaking the family was worth a lot, and his grandmother had just taken over the Xu family, and it was difficult to manage a large family to eat and wear and earn money and struggle for food and clothing.

But she couldn't wait to buy books, such as the Theory of the Origin and Syndrome of Diseases, Qianjin Yifang, and Shennong's Materia Medica. I can't bear to ask my grandmother for the luxury of books in the palm of her hand, and I don't want to trouble the kind young lady in the live broadcast room to help her brush the classic quotations of the Yellow Emperor's Neijing in the comment area, she wants to rely on her own little savings to buy books to read.

Historically, medical masters such as Sun Simiao, Ge Hong, Liu Wansu, Zhu Danxi and so on were all self-taught. Therefore, she believes that as long as she can supply books, she has many years of medical knowledge and Grandpa Guan is by her side to mention points, recognize medicines, concoctions, medicinal materials and take the pulse, and she should be able to catch up in a short period of time after a few years of hard study.

When she has the skills of the body, in the context of the very few female doctors, even if she can only see women's diseases, she can live here even if she is in troubled times, and she is not afraid to live until she is old, and she will be more confident to pay the single tax for older women.

At this time, Mrs. Xu took out a piece of jade ring, and when she saw such a package, Shopkeeper Wu didn't say anything, and she was very satisfied.

I feel more and more that the temperament and dress of the grandparents and grandchildren are inconsistent.

This is a particular person.

Due to the first cooperation, the shopkeeper Wu couldn't help but be curious because he couldn't inquire about privacy.

Otherwise, he really wanted to ask: whether it was a big family and later fell down, whether this jade ring noodles were also eaten by Fuji for a while.

However, at the moment, he is more anxious to ask: "This is too little, one pound of noodles can make two bowls, thirty-five pounds of a total of only a few bowls, may just be sold out, what should I do if the repeat customers come to me?" ”

Mrs. Xu sighed and said, "Who doesn't want to make more money, but this time they can only sell these." I haven't explained it before, and I can't say much about the secret recipe. It's really not expensive to sell you a pound of noodles for a hundred yuan, and the practice is extremely cumbersome and tiring, and it takes months to work day and night to make these. It's full of good ingredients, I'll pay a hundred yuan, remove the cost and then deliver it to your door, and I will really earn a hard money after deducting the travel expenses and accommodation. ”

Mrs. Xu thought to herself: Unlike your big restaurant, there are so many rich customers in your hands, presumably you dare to ask for two dollars of silver for a bowl of noodles, don't look at the high price, but the income will be doubled with a twist.

"If you don't hide it from the shopkeeper Wu, you have to leave ten catties to go to Fucheng to sell. You can rest assured, I don't need you to ask more, I won't sell other restaurants in this county, you are the only one in the county, this jade ring noodles are sold as that noble one, even the big city of Fucheng, I only choose one, I understand. So you have a pound of 100 yuan, no matter whether you sell fried noodles or hot soup noodles later, the specified value is value, and you can find me if you don't sell well. I dare to say that in a month at most, you will ask someone to send me a letter and place an order. ”

This made the shopkeeper Wu laugh, I heard that there is only one sale in a city and it can be written on the agreement, and my heart is a lot more relaxed, and I can explain to the owner when I turn around.

After signing the agreement and signaling Mrs. Xu to tell her address and contact information, the shopkeeper Wu smiled and said, "Let's see if I will look for you after more than a month." ”

Unexpectedly, the granddaughter of this eldest aunt had already written an address note, written in charcoal, not a brush, and the words were very neat. Shopkeeper Wu confirmed, this is the descendant of the down-and-out family, I can't imagine that they used to be big officials, and they were later assigned here.

Mrs. Xu took three and a half halves of the jade ring noodles money, and put it to help Guan Erbald sell six pounds of fish scale frozen money, this time even the fish scale jelly only brought twenty pounds, and the negotiation and noodles will take more than a month to start ordering, just follow the address to carry a message.

The piggyback message can only find the address of the cake shop that Zhao Dashan's daughter-in-law redeemed when he goes to the town by passing through the car to the town. Zhao Dashan's daughter-in-law really wants to sell cooking cakes, so she is not renting, she is buying a shop. Mrs. Xu complained that it was better to sell finger cakes, pancakes, fruits and shredded potatoes.

And about fish scale jelly, you can't sell more, Shopkeeper Wu understands, this thing is like meat skin jelly, it's not easy to store in hot weather, and you can't buy much at one time. After more than a month, the cold restaurant dares to make more decisions.
