Chapter 12 Glutinous Rice Profiteering
For the next few days, the kitchen smelled of chili peppers.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
The family ran out.
Even the little yellow dog was choked and ran out of the yard, rubbing and whimpering beside Xiaobao's legs.
Shen Qingyu announced at dinner: "Tomorrow is a big gathering, and I will go to sell glutinous rice tomorrow." ”
When everyone heard this, they felt a sense of relief.
It's finally here!
Dabao was worried: "Mother, if you start making glutinous rice, do you have to fry the chili peppers that choke people to death every day at home?" ”
Shen Qingyu laughed dryly: "No, you can use it for a long time if you fry it once." ”
A little guilty, but not much.
The crowd breathed a sigh of relief.
The glutinous rice was steamed, the various ingredients were prepared, and they were packed separately in several jars.
Shen Qingyu put the board car in the same way, and the three little ones also got up when they heard the sound, and they were very worried when they saw their mothers busy.
This is business...... Can a mother do it?
What if I can't sell it?
The family watched Shen Qingyu put everything on the donkey cart, and Xiao Yunqi couldn't help asking: "In the future, when you go to sell glutinous rice, I will also use the donkey cart to send you every day?" ”
We all started with a thousand taels of silver, when did we ever do such a small business?
Shen Qingyu looked back and smiled in his busy schedule: "No need, I'll drive the donkey cart myself." ”
Will she drive a donkey cart?
The crowd couldn't believe it.
Shen Qingyu's whip was raised, but it didn't fall, and he looked at the people in the courtyard.
Xiao Yunqi pursed his lips and walked to the donkey cart: Sure enough, it still doesn't work, you still want me to send it.
Xiaobao thought that Shen Qingyu was afraid that the donkey would be disobedient, so he educated the thin donkey in a milky voice: "Little hungry, you have to listen to my mother, you know?" ”
Skinny Donkey: "Ah, hungry, hungry!" ”
Shen Qingyu couldn't cry or laugh: "There is breakfast in the pot." Listen to your cousin. I'll buy you pens, ink, paper, and inkstones in a while, and you'll be able to learn to read and write with your cousin. ”
The three little ones nodded obediently.
Erbao: "Mother, be careful. ”
Xiaobao: "Mother, come back early." ”
Dabao: "It doesn't matter if you can't sell it, we'll eat it ourselves when we get it back." The sticky rice was delicious. ”
You are so filial.
Shen Qingyu flicked a beautiful whip: "Let's go......"
The donkey cart clattered away.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
When did she learn to drive a donkey cart?
Is it when you're not at home again?
Xiao Yunqi found that he didn't know Shen Qingyu more and more.
Walking to no one's place, Shen Qingyu put all kinds of condiments and hot glutinous rice into the space warehouse, leaving only an empty bucket to hide people's eyes and ears on the board car.
In the same wooden barrel, there were three in the warehouse, which were full of glutinous rice that added up to about 200 catties.
The town was already bustling.
As soon as Shen Qingyu entered the town, the donkey cart could no longer walk.
If you can't walk, set up a stall on the spot.
Shen Qingyu directly uncovered the lid of the wooden barrel on the board car, first brought out various condiment jars from the wooden barrel (space warehouse), and then put the glutinous rice into the wooden barrel.
The glutinous rice steamed with lard begins to emit an attractive aroma.
The people who rushed to the market looked over one after another and couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Shen Qingyu looked at the crowd around him, cleared his throat, and shouted: "Meat foam sauerkraut glutinous rice!" Ten cents a piece! It's a big top and it tastes good......"
Ten cents a piece?
And the meat foam?
A bowl of vegetarian rice noodles costs ten cents!
Many of the people who rushed to the market did not have breakfast, and they gathered around.
Shen Qingyu, who was standing on the board car, had a smile in his eyes, and his slightly chubby face was ruddy and fair, which made people feel kind when he looked at it.
"This little lady, do you want to try it?" Shen Qingyu looked at a little girl whose hand was already on her purse.
The little girl was close to Shen Qingyu's hearty smiling face, and couldn't help leaning over: "Okay, give me a taste." ”
Shen Qingyu neatly picked up a small rice bowl, put a piece of oiled paper into it, and put glutinous rice in the oily paper bowl......
"Does the little lady eat spicy?" Shen Qingyu asked with a smile.
"Huh? Eat! The little lady replied with a blushing face.
Shen Qingyu added two spoonfuls of glutinous rice to the top again, and finally put a small spoonful of chili oil.
Seeing that the glutinous rice is rising, this is a big bowl of rice!
This can be more saturating than a rice noodle tube.
In front of everyone's eyes, Shen Qingyu wrapped the glutinous rice with oiled paper, pinched it hard, and handed it to the little lady: "Oh, your glutinous rice." ”
The little girl took the glutinous rice, opened the wrapper and took a bite, and the "crunch" sound of the crispy slices made the eyes of the people around her light up!
The next second, the little lady nodded wildly: "It's delicious!" Really delicious......"
There are minced meat, sauerkraut, crispy chips...... It's still full!
Where can the onlookers who saw Shen Qingyu's operation with their own eyes still be able to bear it? They handed over copper plates one after another.
"Mine! I want one! ”
"I want two ......"
"My ...... My ......"
Shen Qingyu saw that there were many people and wanted to be chaotic, so he hurriedly reminded: "Come one by one, everyone line up." ”
Count the money, make sticky rice, and ask if you want chili peppers......
Shen Qingyu seemed to have become a money-making machine, constantly repeating simple actions and words.
The copper plates were put into the special satchel around her waist, and seeing that there were enough copper plates for more than a hundred, she put some in the space warehouse.
Seeing that the glutinous rice was about to bottom, Shen Qingyu took out some glutinous rice from the space and put it into the wooden barrel.
After everyone in line in front of him finished buying, Shen Qingyu found that the wooden barrel in the space was already empty, and the wooden barrel on the board car was also half empty.
A bucket of glutinous rice is enough for 30 catties of rice! A bucket and a half of sticky rice...... It can sell about 300 copies!
I actually sold more than 300 servings of sticky rice?
According to a ten-penny penny, that's more than three taels of silver!
Shen Qingyu couldn't believe it, and counted it carefully, it was really more than two taels of silver!
A pound of glutinous rice costs ten yuan, although pork costs twenty yuan a pound, but there is very little in the rice ball, look at a tablespoon, half of it is thick soup, a bucket of glutinous rice is sold, and it only costs more than a pound of pork.
The sour cabbage foam is homemade and is not worth much.
A bucket and a half of glutinous rice cost less than 500 wen, but it was sold for more than three taels of silver.
Calculate the net income of more than two taels of silver!
Windfall!
Shen Qingyu was instantly full of strength, and drove the donkey cart to the other end of Hengshui Street.
The people who rushed to the market all went into the town nearby, and the people at one end ate it and could sell it at that end.
At that end, Shen Qingyu stood on the board car as usual and shouted!
The crowd came up again to watch the excitement.
Shen Qingyu stared at a thin and tall young man: "Little brother, do you want to try it?" ”
The young man looked at Shen Qingyu's hearty smile, and nodded as expected: "Come on." ”
Shen Qingyu concocted it in the same way, and quickly showed the production process of glutinous rice dumplings, and sure enough, everyone was tempted again and paid for it one after another.
This busy work sold another bucket of sticky rice.
Shen Qingyu looked at the hour, it was almost noon, and the flow of people gradually dispersed, and many people had already gone back.
Let's go home.
Shen Qingyu went to the pen and ink shop, and when he asked the price, he was dumbfounded.
According to the cheapest calculation, the inkstone costs one tael of silver, the paper costs one hundred wen and a knife, the ink block costs half a tael, and the brush costs one hundred wen......
No wonder there were few people reading in ancient times.
This kind of expense, who can afford it for ordinary villagers!
After hesitating for a moment, Shen Qingyu gritted his teeth: "Shopkeeper, bring me three sets of ink, paper and inkstones." ”
