Chapter 5 Selling
Lu, "..."
These two brothers were probably reincarnated as ghosts who died of starvation.
"Half is not enough, I will use the eggs later." Mrs. Lu explained, "After lunch, I will take these eggs to Aunt Wu's house with you Aunt Xia..."
As soon as Xia Mingyue entered the yard and heard such words, she opened her mouth and asked, "Which sister-in-law Wu's house is my sister-in-law going to?"
"Brothers and sisters are here." Mrs. Lu put down the cabbage and wiped the water droplets on her apron. "I thought I would talk about this when I went to look for you after lunch, but you happened to be here now."
"As for Sister-in-law Wu at the end of the alley, her eldest son is also in the army. Her second son has previously studied and passed the boy's examination. He is learned. At the moment, Yue Ran is the biggest in the county. Restaurant account "
"I heard from Sister-in-law Wu these days that the Yueran Restaurant is doing well. She wants to find some hard-working women to wash dishes and vegetables in the back kitchen. She will give her five yuan a month. Where's the salary? , I thought about asking Sister-in-law Wu if she could let us go to work. It would be enough for us to eat and drink every day. "
"Thank you, Sister-in-law, for thinking of me in everything," Xia Mingyue said.
“What kind words are you saying? Qiyan saved the lives of talented people in my family on the battlefield. You are Qiyan’s wife. Isn’t it my duty as a sister-in-law to take care of you?”
Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "Why are my brothers and sisters here now? What's the matter?"
"It is true that I came to see my sister-in-law for something." Xia Mingyue opened the cage cloth, revealing the brown and crispy inside, with a fragrant aroma. The meat cakes came out, "I made some meat cakes and wanted my sister-in-law and Dahu Erhu to try them."
Meat cakes?
The four eyes suddenly lit up, but they looked at Lu at the same time, not daring to answer, let alone step forward.
When Mrs. Lu saw the meat pie, she stretched out her hand to wrap the cage cloth again, "What are you going to do with this, just keep it for yourself!"
"I originally wanted to ask my sister-in-law to do me a favor, but I'm embarrassed to bring some things over now. If my sister-in-law and the children don't eat, I won't be able to open my mouth."
Xia Mingyue put the meat pie on the table. He stuffed it into the hands of Lu and the two brothers, and said with a smile, "You eat this meat pie first, and then I can talk about my affairs."
Seeing Xia Mingyue say this, Lu couldn't say any more. The others just nodded, "Okay."
He called Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu to come and eat.
After receiving the agreement, the brothers hurriedly thanked them. They didn't even have time to swallow their saliva and just stuffed the meatloaf into their mouths.
Seeing that the meat pie was so fragrant, Mrs. Lu couldn't help but take a bite.
The skin of the meat patty is very crispy, and with the slight clicking sound of the teeth, the crispy taste spreads in the mouth immediately.
But before the delicious food fills the entire mouth, the delicious richness of the gravy in the cake starts from the tip of the tongue and quickly dominates all the taste buds.
The richness of the gravy and the crispiness of the skin merge again in the mouth, forming a unique deliciousness that is difficult to describe.
Only by taking big bites and swallowing can you truly express the excellent taste of this meatloaf.
Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu devoured their food without even bothering to speak.
Ms. Lu reluctantly got an opening and gave Xia Mingyue a thumbs up, "My sister-in-law made this meat pie really delicious!"
"Since my sister-in-law thinks it tastes good, then this meat The cakes must be selling well." Xia Mingyue pursed her lips and smiled.
Selling meat pies?
Mr. Lu paused while chewing, "Brothers and sisters want to do a small business?" "Exactly." Xia Mingyue nodded, "Like my sister-in-law, I am also thinking about how to earn some money to supplement For household purposes, I have no other skills but my cooking skills, so I made some meatloaf and planned to try it first.”
"I just made some meatloaf. If my sister-in-law is okay now, can you help me go to the street to sell it?"
"Okay!" Mrs. Lu nodded repeatedly, " The meatloaf made by my brothers and sisters is so delicious, it must be easy to sell. It is half noon and there are many people on the street. Let’s go quickly at this time.”
Mr. Lu is an impatient person. , after saying what was right, she didn’t stop at all, and asked Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu to carry the small square table to the street, while she and Xia Mingyue went to get the fragrant meat pie.
The West Street is lively and there are many small stalls and hawkers. Except for a few fixed stalls, they are all farmers close to the county seat. The number of people and the items sold are not fixed. They will leave as soon as they are sold. There are quite a few free spaces.
Mrs. Lu found a suitable place, put down the small square table, placed Xia Mingyue's bamboo basket, lifted a corner of the cage cloth, revealing several fragrant meat cakes, cleared her throat and started to shout.
“They sell meat pies. They are so delicious. Come and have a look!”
“After eating the meat pies, you won’t want to eat other meat pies. The skin is so delicious. The meatloaf is so crispy that it will melt on your tongue! ”
"If you eat my meat pie, it doesn't matter how strong your man is, how beautiful your girl is, how smart your children are, and how healthy your elderly are. The more you eat, the better it tastes..."
Lu's voice was loud and he began to sell. This was also said playfully, and someone quickly came over.
"How do you sell meat cakes?" A strong man came up.
Xia Mingyue replied, "Eight cents each."
"Eight cents?" The strong man's eyes widened, "The meat buns over there are so big, they only cost five cents each. The meat pie is only six cents, why are you more expensive than others?"
"It's just because my meat pie is delicious and plentiful," Xia Mingyue replied with a smile. If you don’t believe me, you can buy one and try it. If it’s not as delicious as others, I’ll give this meat pie to you for free. How about it?”
Seeing the other party’s determination, the strong man smiled. He stood up and said, "Since you little lady said that, I really have to try it, but I have agreed that if it doesn't taste good, you have to give this meat pie to me."
"But I won't bully you, little lady. If it's delicious, I'll buy five of them to eat!"
"Okay, then you taste it first and then take the money." Xia Mingyue said with a small A piece of meat pie was wrapped in oil paper and handed to the strong man.
“It smells delicious, but I don’t know how it tastes...” The strong man’s words stopped abruptly after taking a bite of the meatloaf, until he swallowed most of the meatloaf into his belly in three or two mouthfuls. , reached for the money bag, "I want five more meatloaf!"
"No, eight more meatloaf!"
With his appetite, he can still eat seven more. The meat pie, the remaining one, just went to the master.
"Okay." Xia Mingyue went to receive the money, while Lu took the oil paper, quickly wrapped the eight meat patties, tied them with thin hemp rope, and handed them to the strong man.
“It’s delicious. Come again.”
“Such a delicious meat pie, I will definitely come back to buy it!” The strong man agreed with his mouth full, and he was busy swallowing the remaining half of the meat pie. , while preparing to open the oil paper package and get a new meatloaf to eat.
As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. Once someone takes the initiative to buy, others will naturally follow.
Especially when I saw the strong man eating, his mouth was full of oil, and the smell of meat was overflowing. You could even hear the crisp clicking sound of the meat patty being chewed, and you felt more and more like the golden meat patty. It must be delicious.
