087 Tofu soup
Not long after the grass left, it slowly got dark, and the people who were busy in the fields returned. Li Ping'an also cooked the gruel of wild vegetables that he ate at night, and the family hurriedly finished their dinner while it was still twilight.
"How's it going to the city today, okay?" As soon as he put down the bowl, Li Erlin asked.
Li Ping'an said it roughly, Li Erlin and Chen Dajuan were overjoyed when they heard it, although they were full of confidence in Li Ping'an, but before the cold powder was sold for money, they were still a little unsure.
It's okay now, it can really be sold for money, although there is only one way to Juwei Pavilion for the time being, but after all, it is also a good start.
"Where's the money?" Chen Dajuan asked.
"Here." Li Ping'an took out the copper plate and explained, "I divided twenty copper plates to Caoya, I just told her that she is responsible for taking people to make cold powder at home, I will go to find a way and deliver the goods, and we will divide the account fifty-fifty." ”
Then he counted out five more, "I plan to give these five copper plates to Brother Xiaoshan, he has not been idle these days, collecting firewood and delivering goods, he has participated." ”
"I don't care about how you divide the account, you just think about it yourself." Li Erlin didn't care about how Li Ping'an and them divided the accounts, since this kid could earn money by himself, he rarely cared about him, "I just have a suggestion, don't forget your uncle and uncle and their family." ”
Chen Dajuan also said: "Yes, if the sale of cold powder is only done by our family, it will be forgotten, and now that we have brought grass, we can't help but bring our own family to do it." ”
"Don't worry, when I find a few more ways to ship, they will have to get busy. Wait a minute, I'll go to Xiaodong and ask him to deliver the goods with me and Brother Xiaoshan tomorrow, and I'll hand it over to them in two days, so that I can spare time to start our family's tofu business." Li Ping'an said.
Li Erlin nodded, and then let Li Ping'an go busily.
Early the next morning, Li Ping'an and Zhang Xiaoshan and Li Dong went to the county seat with two buckets of cold powder, this time Li Yinshan did not follow, Li Ping'an walked around the city yesterday, and it can be regarded as familiar, and Li Yinshan also has work to do at home, so he can't always trouble and delay others.
They are worthy of escaping the famine, most of the month basically have to walk thirty or forty miles every day, endurance and toughness have long been exercised, walk for an hour and a half without stopping to rest, before the time, they arrived at the alley leading to the backyard door of Juwei Pavilion.
At this time, there were a few people standing outside the small door of Juwei Pavilion, they were either carrying things or carrying baskets, Li Ping'an guessed that they should also deliver goods to Juwei Pavilion.
stepped forward to talk and confirmed his guess, some of these people were sending tofu, some were sending wild vegetables, and some were sending game.
Whether it is a steward or a man, Juwei Pavilion is very easy to speak, generally the wild vegetables they dig up or the prey caught by the hunters will be sent to Juwei Pavilion first, and if Juwei Pavilion is willing to buy it, the price is also very satisfactory.
Li Ping'an paid special attention to the person who picked the tofu, after all, his family was also in the tofu business, and he wanted to see the quality of the tofu made by the other party, "This uncle, can you take a look at your tofu?" ”
"What's wrong with that." The uncle who sold tofu hurriedly put down his burden, uncovered the cloth on the tofu, picked up the rod and scale and said enthusiastically, "Sanwen is a catty, do you want a catty for the little brother?" ”
"Yo, your old tofu is doing well, the water is tender and smooth, and you have an appetite when you look at it, so cut me a catty." Just looking at the surface is not comprehensive, although I think that the uncle's tofu can be supplied to Juwei Pavilion, and the taste should not be bad, but Li Ping'an thinks that he has to taste it himself.
When he was in Qingfeng County, he saw tofu that looked good but tasted a little bitter.
"Okay!" The uncle immediately cut off a piece of tofu and wrapped it in banana leaves, no more, no less exactly one catty, "The little brother will look at it and say no, if you will, you can take a look, if you don't, it's fine, my tofu soup has made tofu for a lifetime, and I won't do anything short of two catties." ”
Li Ping'an really knew how to look at this scale, glanced at it and nodded, and then said with a smile: "Uncle, your surname is Tang?" ”
"Yes, surnamed Tang, they all call me tofu soup." Uncle Tang accosted him, put down the rod scale and gave the tofu to Li Ping'an, then looked behind Li Ping'an, and glanced at the two wooden barrels at Zhang Xiaoshan and Li Dong's feet, "What is the little brother selling?" ”
Li Ping'an took out the money for a meal, "A fresh meal, do you want to taste it?" ”
"Fresh food?" Uncle Tang's eyebrows twitched, "Then you have to taste it, Juwei Pavilion can take a fancy to it, the taste is definitely not bad." ”
Li Ping'an paid for tofu and asked Zhang Xiaoshan to take the tofu, asked Uncle Tang for a banana leaf, and filled him with half a spoonful of cold powder.
Seeing his reaction, the two or three people watching on the side were also more curious, and couldn't help but let Li Ping'an take a little for them to taste.
Li Ping'an naturally responded, these people will sell wild vegetables and prey, they must have money in their hands, if they think it is good after tasting it, if they are willing to spend money to buy one catty or two catties, isn't this earned.
"I call this food Liangfen, which is most suitable for eating in such hot and dry weather, refreshing and cool, quenching thirst and fire. If you add brown sugar water, the taste is even more amazing! Li Ping'an introduced, "It's not expensive, two pennies can buy a catty." ”
As soon as the words fell, Uncle Tang, who sold tofu, shouted, "I want as much as you can sell now!" ”
A few people who just tasted the cold powder were immediately unhappy, this cold powder is indeed a little cool in their mouths, and they were still hesitant to buy it, but this time they heard that the tofu soup was going to cover the rest, so they still hesitated.
They may not be willing to buy tofu for three dollars a pound, but it is still worth buying new food for two dollars a pound and giving it back to the family to try.
This was beyond Li Ping'an's expectations, he specially brought an extra bucket today, but it was to go to the restaurant to sell it, why is it that the bucket of goods in Juwei Pavilion has not been released yet, and the other bucket is about to be snatched up?
He didn't hesitate too much, he sold it immediately, and the business could still be pushed out? It's not impossible to push the sales until tomorrow, and those restaurants can't run, maybe after Juweige launches the jelly today, it will be better to sell it tomorrow?
So, just to send a trip to Juwei Pavilion, the two barrels of cold powder that Li Ping'an and they brought today were gone, and they were replaced with eighty copper coins.
Zhang Xiaoshan felt that the taste of the tofu made by Uncle Tang was no worse than that made by Li Ping'an's family, so he said worriedly: "Li Ping'an, you have met an opponent." ”
"What's wrong with it, I never thought about selling tofu in the city."
