While it was still early, Mr. Shen went to the town and bought two pieces of pig water. He spent a total of two cents. He and Mr. Wang cleaned them and put them in a pot to cook.
Since this was his first time doing business, Wang was also willing to use ingredients. Only when the food is delicious can it attract customers.
The aroma of old Shen's house hasn't stopped all afternoon. People passing by stretch their heads and want to come in to see what the stew is, it's so fragrant.
The pig's waste filled two large pots, and Jiang Miao asked Wang to steam a large pot of Erhe noodle steamed buns. The steamed buns were specially made large, and they cost one penny for two. Even the most voracious Lao Li could eat two.
full.
After working for a long time, Mr. Shen and Mr. Wang were not idle for a moment. There was a trolley at home, and he took out a stove to light the fire in winter, so that he could heat dishes tomorrow.
At night, Boss Shen and Mrs. Wang were lying on the bed, too excited to sleep.
"Master, can you tell me whether this business can work tomorrow? After spending so much good oil and good materials, if you can't sell it..."
Ms. Wang still felt a little unsure, but Boss Shen was more ambitious.
"If it doesn't work, we won't do it. Dalang and I will go to the town to find some work. There will always be a way out."
"Bah, bah, bah!" Mrs. Wang pinched her man hard, and Boss Shen let out a painful "ouch", and all the sleeping insects were driven away.
"What are you talking about? This business will definitely work. I believe in Miao Ya's craftsmanship." Mrs. Wang's eyes were burning, glowing in the dark. Old Shen became a scholar and stopped answering.
"The older man is already thirteen, and the money for a wife has not yet been secured. I'm still thinking about letting him learn a trade. What good can he do by just working odd jobs with you?"
"And Erlang, he has been smart since he was a child. What if he is a promising student? I never dared to think about it. When I make money, I will tell my parents to send Erlang to study."
Wang said all the words he had hidden in his heart. Boss Shen also felt a little moved, and his whole body was full of energy.
"Then let's work hard tomorrow and go to sleep."
As soon as it started to dawn, the big house had already woken up, and several people were pushing the cart towards the pier.
Mrs. Zhang was restless and restless for a long time, and she was not doing well at work. Either the rice was left out or the water was spilled when feeding the chickens. The second son and his wife were working in their house. Father Shen had a sore leg and fell asleep after drinking medicine. She was so full of heart
I didn't know who to talk to about my worries, so I simply moved a bench and stood guard at the door, waiting for someone to come back.
Jiang Miao saw this scene when she went out, "Mom, are you feeling better today?"
"Much better, your father is sleeping right now..." Mrs. Zhang found an outlet for her frustration.
"You told me how your elder brother and the others are doing. I'm not worried about it. What if no one buys the things..." There were two more wrinkles on her worried face.
"Mom, don't worry, you have to eat when you work hard on the dock. I asked my eldest brother, white flour buns and steamed buns cost one penny each, and meat pancakes cost two cents each. The rice we sell has meat and vegetables, so it's only a penny more expensive.
, I’m sure I won’t have to worry about selling it.”
Jiang Miao's price is not set casually. She has asked about prices before and has a basic understanding of the consumption levels of ordinary people.
Mrs. Zhang was comforted by her, and the two of them sat at the door chatting and waiting for the eldest son to come back.
Jiang Miao finished making the remaining handkerchief sachets. She will go to town today to see how the fragrant beads are selling.
Before noon, there was movement outside the door.
"Milk, it's sold out, it's all sold!"
Shen Dalang was pushing the cart, sweating profusely, and the smile on his face never stopped.
The braised food is more popular than expected. The stove here is lit, the aroma spreads, and there are no customers at the stall.
"Two large pots of braised meat were sold for 60 spoons, and the steamed buns were not steamed enough. Some people who brought their own meals only bought vegetables. The braised meat and steamed buns were sold for a total of 150 Wen, and after deducting the cost, there was still 130 Wen.
"
Shen Dalang was so excited that he had earned as much money as his father in two days of carrying groceries. Moreover, because there were not many dishes cooked on the first day, many people did not buy them. He also said that he would continue to come to eat tomorrow.
This is more than a hundred dollars a day, which is three taels of silver a month, which he never dared to think about before.
Mrs. Zhang smiled with a smile on her face, "Okay, okay! I know this business can work!"
Boss Shen and Mr. Wang rubbed their faces. They still seemed to be dreaming. They had never imagined that making money would be so easy.
"Mom, I will go to the town in the afternoon to buy two more pigs in the water, and I will ask the boss to keep more every day from now on."
Boss Shen now knows what's going on.
"Go ahead and give him the meal of the third child." The big stone in her heart fell, and Mrs. Zhang felt relaxed now.
"Mom, let me deliver my husband's meal. My eldest brother has to buy some things. I'm afraid they'll be sold out if I get there late."
Jiang Miao took the initiative to take the job. She hadn't seen the male protagonist for many days and needed to make her presence felt.
