Chapter 43 Initial Opening
"But considering that we are new to business, we are not sure if we can make money, so we will start to reduce the cost as much as possible, and it is better to dig the dishes yourself!"
Although the imperial court has a policy to adjust grain prices, it cannot be lowered all at once, and buying vegetables is also a large expense.
"Alas, what we don't have is that in addition to the land around us, we can also walk a few miles more, and wild vegetables can be completely self-sufficient!"
Song Hailong already felt in his heart that Song Jinyue could make money on this side, so he naturally fully cooperated, after all, it was all for this family, and he was only looking forward to giving them more time when the winter came later.
"Don't be tomorrow, I'll go on a trip with my second brother today, and we'll go directly to sell things tomorrow."
Song Haitao is a little anxious, it's just afternoon, and he can do a lot of things.
"It's done!"
Song Jinyue didn't expect that her uncle was an anxious person, and he would be one day late.
However, he just thinks that selling this noodles a day earlier, making money a day earlier, is a little more.
Seeing that the whole family had no objections, Song Hailong and Song Haitao cleaned up and left home.
Song Jinyue, Mrs. Song and others are digging mushrooms everywhere, which are not as difficult to preserve as wild vegetables, and can be dried for long-term storage.
The two of them dug mushrooms all morning, and when it was dark, Song Haitao and Song Hailong came back
"I've found the place!"
As soon as Song Haitao entered the house, he couldn't wait to inform everyone of the good news, Song Hailong stood behind him and did not speak, but his brows were slightly furrowed.
"Then we can go over tomorrow morning."
Mrs. Song said brightly.
"That's nature!" Song Haitao nodded heavily.
"Grandma just stay at home to take care of the chickens, you can dig some wild vegetables when you have time, this is estimated that there are not many people at the beginning, we are enough!"
Song Jinyue wants to keep someone at home, Mrs. Song is going, leaving two children and one disabled, and it is not easy to deal with any situation.
In fact, if something really happens, Mrs. Song can't help it.
It was Mrs. Song herself, who comforted everyone, saying that the four courtyards of the east, west, north and south were all trustworthy people, so that a few people could go with confidence.
Song Jinyue wants to release grain for disaster relief in the imperial court now, although everyone can't eat enough, they can't starve to death, and no one should make trouble in this situation.
"That's it!"
The matter was finalized, the Song family got up early in the morning and began to make preparations, except for Song Jinyue and Song Haishan, the others spontaneously went out to dig wild vegetables as soon as it was a little bright in the morning.
Song Jinyue kneaded the dough at home and woke up the dough to make gluten dough, it was not easy, her noodles were ready, Mrs. Song and others came back with a large cart of vegetables, and it was another period of cleaning, and the whole family was so far that the preparations were completed.
Saying goodbye to his family, the three uncles and nephews pushed a cart of things, avoided the villagers as much as possible along the way, and came to the county seat, following Song Haitao's footsteps, the three of them pushed the car and entered a street.
"Uncle, this is the place you chose?"
Song Jinyue looked at the shed in front of her with a stunned expression: the shed, which had a stove and a large iron pot on it, and two sets of greasy tables and tables and stools were placed in it.
Great!
Is this the same as the soup kitchen outside the county?
"It's too ......"
She looked at Song Hailong again, and the other party shrugged helplessly.
"Jinyue, I really don't blame me, the rent of that good place costs a lot of money a month, I'm worried that if we mess up, it won't hurt to pay a tael of silver a month!"
Song Haitao also knew that the choice of land was not good, but that's it, the vendor who made porridge had to go out for a month before renting it to him.
Looking at the rich expressions of the two, he comforted the two, "Isn't it just right in this greenhouse, so that our soup can float to the street!" ”
"Second brother, you said yes!"
Recalling that when Song Jinyue made soup, she attracted people who wanted to take advantage of it so much, and Song Hailong also nodded approvingly.
"Let's put things in first!"
Several people put the clean firewood, washed vegetables, wild mushrooms, and homemade gluten dough on the cart one by one.
Song Haitao and Song Hailong filled the pot with water with buckets, and went to the pork stall to buy some barrel bones, and several people began to boil bone broth.
The first time I did this, the three of them didn't cooperate very well, and it was a little hectic, but because the ingredients were well prepared, the bone broth was quickly boiled.
As Song Haitao said, the fragrance wafted far away, and soon attracted many people to come over.
"Eh, what is this for, so fragrant?"
"Go over and see!"
Seeing that there were more and more people around, Song Jinyue was not in a hurry, picked out the spices in them one by one, took some vegetables and noodles and put them into the pot, blanched them and put them into a bowl, and then sprinkled pepper, sesame oil and garlic in turn, and mixed well.
Then the bowl of noodles was divided into more than a dozen plates.
As soon as the noodles came out of the pot, Song Haitao opened his throat and shouted:
"Take a look, take a look, the newly cooked bone broth spicy noodles are fragrant, spicy and delicious, a bowl only costs fifteen yuan, don't miss it when you pass by!"
"Ah, fifteen yuan a bowl, this is too expensive!"
The onlookers originally wanted to try it, but when they heard the price, they frowned.
"Do you know that a bowl of mutton noodles in Juxiangzhai is only twenty yuan."
"Come, you can taste it first, and then buy it if you think it's delicious!"
There is no way, if Song Jinyue can, he doesn't want to price it so high, and now the price of flour is maintained at about 25 Wen, and one pound of noodles plus wild vegetables can make five bowls of noodles. Coupled with rent, taxes, and the labor cost of the vegetables they dig themselves, if the price is low, it really can't be worth it.
The most important thing is that the spices used to hang the soup are too expensive, and maybe after a while, the price of food will drop a little more, and she can also reduce the price a little.
"Come, there are chopsticks here, you can try it first, and if you think it's cost-effective, you can sit down and eat a bowl, and if you don't think it's delicious, you don't have to pay for it."
Song Jinyue said, and handed two pairs of chopsticks to a chubby woman with good clothes.
The man and businessman who followed the woman were dressed up, obviously didn't like this food, and didn't take chopsticks, but only let the woman taste it, I really don't know, what is there to eat?
The obese woman ignored the man next to her, took the chopsticks and picked a small noodle from the bowl and put it in her mouth, she said softly, and glanced at Song Jinyue with some surprise.
The taste of this noodle is really good, and the soup is filled with Sichuan peppercorns and peppercorns, as well as various spicy flavors, which makes people taste spicy and delicious, which makes people appetize.
Then, she took another bite of mushrooms, a little gluten, and soon the contents of the bowl were eaten by her.
"Yes, I want a bowl!"
The woman didn't say a word, and took out fifteen copper plates and gave them to Song Jinyue.
"I can't see it, this unattractive noodle is quite delicious!"
"Okay, I'll do it for you!"
Song Jinyue took the vegetables and noodles into the pot, and a bowl of noodles was brought out in a short time.
Seeing the fat woman digging out the copper plate to buy something, everyone became curious, and rushed to pick up the bowl to taste, wondering where this thing was worth fifteen yuan.
