Su Qingluan recalled the serious and unsmiling appearance of the old housekeeper, and imagined the picture of such a thin and pale old man squatting under the eaves of the porch, snoring and eating the braised soup, his expression was a little cracked.

…… This scene is really a little scary, she still doesn't want to imagine it......

After mending the filter that he had broken, Su Qingluan coughed lightly and sighed: "No wonder everyone has said recently that the more you queue up for the soup, the more you can't eat." ”

The little guy smiled bitterly and nodded: "It's really that the water of this livestock is annoying to listen to, and it can't be put on the stage." It is also fishy and smelly, and it can't get into the eyes of nobles. Lady Toraisu's cooking skills are so good that she can make these inferior ingredients taste the finest......"

Su Qingluan listened to his series of rainbow farts blowing out without a draft, and felt a little unbearable, shaking his hand: "Eh, I said little brother, don't put a high hat on me." ”

"How is a top hat?!" The little guy saw that Su Qingluan didn't believe it, but was a little unhappy, "Su Niangzi, you inquire, don't say that our house, that is, the people around us, there are many people who come to secretly buy this soup!" ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the queue on the front street that was waiting in a long line for the soup, and stretched out his hand to point over there: "Su Niangzi looks at the one wearing a blue-gray robe with two patches on his sleeves, and there are a few people behind him, the one who is particularly thin, and ......."

"Okay, okay......" Su Qingluan hurriedly hugged his fist, "Master, don't read it." She kind of knows why there are more and more customers recently, and there are even ticket sellers.

"Su Niangzi ......" hesitated for a long time, and the little guy finally asked, "Do you think your family gets more of this soup every day?" ”

Sending the little guy away, Su Qingluan only explained to his father and mother that this person had no malicious intent, but someone in the family didn't like to go into the water, and he didn't dare to eat it openly, so he was sneaky like this.

Su Guangfu and the Yang family are both honest, and besides, they are their own family, so they didn't think much about it, so they accepted this reason, left the strange little brother of Fang Cai behind, and turned around to get busy again.

However, Su Qingluan listened to the little guy's words.

Now it is obvious that more and more customers are coming to her house to buy the soup, but it takes time to process the soup, and it takes even more effort to prepare the soup, and it is now the largest amount of soup that can be produced under the premise that the three members of the family can ensure sufficient rest.

Even since he started selling soup, Su Qingluan didn't have the time to develop new recipes for "Hongfu Lou", and when the shopkeeper Liang came to buy soup last time, he half-jokingly said that she "forgot the 'old love' of Hongfu Lou with the 'new love' of the soup", which made Su Qingluan a little embarrassed.

In fact, Su Qingluan could have reduced the flow of customers by increasing the unit price of the soup, so that some guests who could only choose within a limited budget space would be forced to give up her soup, but she didn't want to, and she couldn't do that.

First of all, starting from practical interests, although many people from rich and noble families in Xie Mansion now want to eat the soup fresh, Su Qingluan can see that they have more choices anyway, and they will not worry about eating.

In other words, one day when they get tired of eating crooked soup, they will turn their attention to something else to eat.

On the contrary, it is the bottom consumers, and the water is one of the few animal proteins they can obtain cheaply, not to mention that compared with relatively expensive ingredients such as fish, mutton, dog meat, venison, even if it is "cheap as dirt" pork, it is much more expensive than going into the water.

And the sewer, which was originally difficult to eat because of the fishy smell, is now being made so delicious by the Su family's stall, everyone is naturally happy to give priority to the Su family's water soup, and the main purchasing power of the Su family's water soup in the future will also be these bottom consumers who are difficult to have other choices.

Besides, emotionally speaking, the reason why Su Qingluan wanted to set up this sewer stall in the first place was to see that all kinds of sewer were wasted, and even some people disliked it for making livestock feed, and wanted to have a "waste utilization", which could make money at the same time, and also replenish some protein to those poor villagers that they were reluctant to use.

In this way, the Su family has made progress, and everyone has added additional nutrition, a win-win situation.

As for increasing the unit price to increase profits, it is possible, but it is not necessary.

The daily net income of the Su family's water stall is also three or four hundred wen, and there are nearly ten taels of income in January, which is the income of the Su family in two months in the past.

What's more, Su Qingluan still has the "recipe" dividends he got from Hongfu Lou, and even more so whether he went to Xie Zi'an to make sweets as a reward - although the latter two parts of the money are now let by the Yang family and Su Guangfu be collected by herself as a dowry, and not returned to the family - in general, the Su family is really not short of such a little profit from the fingers of the villagers.

So since I don't want to increase the unit price, and now the supply of water soup is in short supply, there is only one way left - to recruit people, recruit an honest and reliable guy who can work all year round.

In this way, it is possible to "scale up production".

But where can such a person be found?

Originally, Su Qingluan thought of looking for it from the villagers of Huaxi Village, but was denied by Su Guangfu.

Su Guangfu's reason is very simple, in less than a month, it should be the autumn harvest. Everyone in Huaxi Village is a landed farmer, and it is busy at this time.

Because the Su family hired someone, they naturally don't have to worry about farming, but other families can't do it - occasionally like the Su family's house yard repair, it's okay to help with a short job, if you don't care about the field for a long time, it can't be done.

This is also the reason why although there are many capable people in the village, they are always unable to do long-term work.

If you want to hire people from the village, there is a high probability that you will have to pay an extra price for hiring short-term farm workers, and most of the Su family's income will probably be spent on double wages.

As for the idlers who spend their days idle...... Joke! Even if they had time, the Su family wouldn't dare to hire such an idle second-rate son!

So in the past few days, in order to choose a reliable and stable guy who can be employed stably for a long time, Su Qingluan, together with Su Guangfu and Yang, has a headache.

Since the last time Su Qingluan told Xi Niangzi about the improvement of cooking cakes, Xi Niangzi has more smiles on her face, and her shouting voice is much louder, and she has more confidence in selling her own cooking cakes.

For people with bad teeth, Xi Niangzi's cooking cakes may be a little "tooth-consuming", but Su Qingluan likes the tough taste very much, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes.

Although she can't do it herself, it's just that she is really impatient and doughy, so the steamed buns at home are basically made by Yang.

And if you want to eat chewy cooking cakes, you occasionally go to Xi Niangzi's house to buy two cooking cakes - although Xi Niangzi desperately stuffed her copper plate back every time, which made Su Qingluan a little embarrassed to go later.

But on this day, she still went to the cake stall opposite the lady under the pretext of "buying cooking cakes".

"Oh, how many times have I told you, you can eat it if you like!" Xi Niangzi packed five cooking cakes and handed them to Su Qingluan, "My family earns all this money because of the method given by your baby, how can I ask for your money!" ”

Su Qingluan didn't take the cake, but stared at Xi Niangzi's blue and black eyes and asked, "Aunt Xi, do you have any difficulties?" ”
