The days were short and the nights were long, and in a blink of an eye it was the opening day. It was an auspicious day for the opening of the market and groundbreaking. At that time, many people wearing silks and satins came to Taiping Town, and they all came to Tian Minyan's new shop.
.
Because the new shop was only used as a grocery store and was not big inside, Tian Minyan set up many benches in front of the shop for visitors to sit and serve refreshments.
The well-dressed people in front of her were all the shopkeepers of various restaurants she invited and the heads or housekeepers of wealthy families she knew. As soon as these people sat down, there were many onlookers pointing and standing outside.
Watch the fun not far away.
When the auspicious time came, Tian Minyan had people place the altar table in front of the door, burn incense and gold and silver ingots, worship the four gods of wealth, set off a bunch of big firecrackers, and pulled up the silk covering the sign.
When we got down, Tian Ji Grocery Store appeared in front of everyone.
Tian Minyan had the altar table removed and two long tables were set up side by side. Two simple stoves were placed on them, pots were set up, and a variety of fresh vegetables, fruits, meats and vegetables were placed on them.
This posture makes people very puzzled. This shop is open, and there are still people doing this?
Someone couldn't help but asked: "My boss, what kind of show is this? Does your family open a restaurant on the street?" The crowd burst into laughter.
Tian Huairen smiled and said: "What this brother said is wrong, but it's not far away. Tianji Grocery Store sells all food-related groceries. I also solemnly recommend to everyone the food exclusively developed by Tianji."
Seasoning—MSG.”
MSG?
Someone in the crowd started chatting, what is this object?
Tian Minyan had someone take out a billboard with only a few big words written on it: Put in the MSG and white water will turn into thick soup.
Immediately afterwards, Tian Minyan asked the newly hired shopkeeper to explain why the taste of the first floor was so good because of the seasoning. He also briefly introduced the wonderful uses of MSG, and then asked if there was anyone on site who knew how to cook.
People were invited to compete.
In order to create this opening gimmick, Tian Minyan specially transferred a cook from the first floor and invited another person to compete on the spot.
All the ingredients were divided into two portions, but Tian Minyan's cook had an extra cup of MSG. After having someone check it, the competition began.
This opening method attracted many people to watch and point. Even Tian Huailan came over with her two children to watch the excitement.
The chefs on both sides make two dishes and one soup, all of the same type, one is white melon and fish soup, one is fried pork slices with garlic, and the other is fried cabbage.
During the cooking process, the shopkeeper was full of witty words and his words were even better than what he sang. Especially the cook Tian Minyan and his colleagues showed the amount when adding MSG, only a small amount was needed.
The dishes on both sides were cooked quickly. Tian Minyan prepared many bowls and chopsticks for people to come up and try them. If they think the taste is better, put the chopsticks there.
In fact, as long as MSG appears in the world, the outcome is already decided. She just wants to make this luxury product appear in the world in a high-profile manner.
When those who tried it tasted it, they were all very surprised, but some who wanted to find fault also said that this was not plain water, and that the fish soup could have been made very sweet, so it was not counted.
Tian Minyan smiled and asked the cook to cook two bowls of cabbage soup in the same pot. He put a few MSG pills in one of the bowls. When the man tasted it, his face immediately turned sly.
"This smell can only be found in heaven. Mr. Tian San, please give me ten pounds." Among the people who were invited, a squire whom Tian Minyan recognized immediately shouted loudly, and soon after, someone else shouted.
However, Tian Minyan waved her hand and slowly explained how rare this MSG was. Tens of thousands of kilograms of raw materials were needed to get a hundred kilograms of MSG, so it was extremely expensive to sell, costing one tael of silver per kilogram, because there was not much stock.
Each person and household can only purchase ten kilograms. Of course, if you really need it, you are welcome to place an order.
One tael of silver per catty. As soon as the price was announced, the crowd suddenly became quiet, so quiet that you could hear flies flying by.
Tian Huailan, who was watching the excitement of cracking melon seeds not far away, was so shocked that her mouth was so big that she could fit an egg in it. She stammered: "One, one or two? Crazy, crazy, crazy, this girl is crazy."
Tian Huairen and the others were all nervous. Only Tian Minyan smiled calmly and said: "One tael of silver buys enjoyment and a unique taste in the world. If you want to buy it, please line up here."
"Second Miss, I want all your MSG." A voice suddenly rang out. Everyone looked over and saw a handsome young man walking over with a smile while waving his fan.
Tian Minyan looked over and saw that this person looked very familiar. Where had he seen him before? Oh, I saw him when he opened on the first floor.
"Oh, isn't this the young master's house in Piaoxianglou? Master Lou." Someone recognized the man and stood up.
Tian Minyan was startled, it turned out that this was the owner of Piaoxiang Building.
She smiled faintly and said, "Young master Lou, maybe you are on foot. My MSG is limited to ten kilograms per person per household."
Lou Shaoqing smiled evilly and said a few words to the entourage beside him. The entourage shouted loudly to the people who were watching: "Who wants to help my young master buy MSG? My young master will give me five cents to help with the labor expenses." After that, he took out the money.
He took out a money bag and shook it, and there was a clatter of copper coins inside.
What? Weird things happen every year, especially this year, and there are people who help buy MSG with money? This is really unheard of. Moreover, just being a person to help people buy something, this is a good thing to get five cents for nothing.
ah.
At that moment, someone immediately rushed forward: "I, I'm coming." With a crash, more than a dozen people crowded forward and raised their hands.
Tian Minyan frowned and pursed her lips, wondering if Lou Shaoqing was here to cause trouble?
"Second girl, I wonder if this is feasible?" Lou Shaoqing curled her lips and said to Tian Minyan: "This can be considered as per person per household, right?"
The young man in this building is not kind. If they buy them all, they will still have something left. Moreover, some of the colleagues sitting here know how good the business on the first floor is now. So those squires, local tycoons and shopkeepers who reacted
Immediately, the pot exploded, and the smart man didn't say anything. He just lined up in front of Tian Minyan's shop and shouted: "Miss Tian, what's one tael of silver? Ten pounds, weigh it for me quickly."
Sure enough, they were all nouveau riche who were not short of money. As soon as these people gathered around, the ordinary people who were watching the excitement immediately became red-eyed. Tian Huailan looked like a fool. He shook his hand in despair, and all the melon seeds fell to the ground.
"Nanny, this..." Tian Huairen was stunned on the spot, a little at a loss.
Tian Minyan also came to her senses at this time, and said to the people who were squeezing: "Don't crowd, everyone. Carefully step on your feet and stand in line. I guarantee that all the guests invited by my Tianjia grocery store will be able to buy today."
To MSG.”
When she said this, she also looked at Lou Shaoqing, but saw that he was not annoyed or angry, and did not let anyone come forward to fight for her. She was a little confused, which song was this person singing?
