Chapter 49 Greedy
“The most important thing is that you can eat these rice dumplings directly with the chopsticks. It is clean and easy to eat. You don’t have to worry about the rice dumpling leaves sticking to your hands when eating. If you take them out, When doing business, you don’t have to use a bowl, it’s more convenient.” Lu said.
It’s completely from a business perspective.
"Mom, all she can think about is making money." Zhao Dahu joked.
Zhao Erhu said seriously, "There are already enough things on sale at the stall. If we add rice dumplings, I'm afraid we won't be able to handle it at all. Mom is a bit greedy."
"That's not true."
As for greed, Lu fully admitted it.
There is no one who is not greedy in business. If you don’t think about making money, you will never make money.
What's more, her greed is not unreasonable, and the money she makes is completely upright.
At this point, Lu felt that she could definitely hold her head high.
Xia Mingyue pursed her lips and smiled, "If you can find someone as capable as Zhuguo to do the work in the future, you can consider it. For now, just do something to let people around you have a taste."
"If this is the case, it is wrong It’s the Dragon Boat Festival, I’m afraid I’ll have to wait until next year.” Lu was still a little regretful, “But it’s better to wait until next year. It’s not good to be greedy and delay the legitimate business.”
If you scratch your beard and eyebrows, On the contrary, it is easy to make mistakes.
Besides, this business is a long-term thing, and it doesn’t mean that it won’t survive next year. Why are you anxious?
Lu made sufficient psychological preparation for herself and reluctantly accepted the cruel fact that bamboo tube rice dumplings could not be sold.
But what happened on the second day made Lu feel inspired again.
At noon, two scholars from the county school came to the stall, asking to buy rice dumplings.
The reason for buying rice dumplings is that yesterday Zhang Mingyi and Fan Pingyang had a big fight over a rice dumpling. Both of them suffered head injuries, overturned the desk, and almost demolished the house. .
They also want to try the zongzi, which is so delicious that it makes people crazy.
Xia Mingyue, "..."
She has met these two gentlemen many times. They have a good relationship. They look like brothers, and it is impossible for them to fight over a little food.
Besides, even though Xia Mingyue is confident in her cooking skills and can make rice dumplings that taste better than the average person, she is definitely not to the point of making people crazy about her.
Thinking about it, it was just two people having fun, but in the eyes of others, it turned into a big fight.
......It is forbidden to spread rumors!
“Yesterday I did give some rice dumplings to Zhang Langjun and Fan Langjun as a reward for helping me ghostwrite. However, the rice dumplings were not as delicious as this. I think others saw them. People are playing around, so they misunderstood?”
Xia Mingyue explained with a smile, "To be honest with you two gentlemen, although my food stall will sell some different food according to the season, the rice dumplings are not made and sold in large quantities. There are no ready-made rice dumplings today."< br>
The two scholars were a little disappointed when they heard that there were no rice dumplings, but they quickly grasped the key point.
There are no rice dumplings today.
One of the scholars asked, "If we order some rice dumplings just like we did before buying pancakes and wrapping them in cold wrappers, can Madam Xia make some?"
Even if Zhang Mingyi and Fan Pingyang fight. The matter is a bit exaggerated, but there is definitely competition, and these two people usually like to look for some delicious food outside. Food that they can fight over must taste good.
This rice dumpling, no matter what, you have to buy it back and try it.
After all, the Dragon Boat Festival is also a big day, and it is also to commemorate great scholars like Qu Yuan.
You must eat some good rice dumplings no matter what, to show respect.
What's more, if we don't buy some rice dumplings and go back now, Chef Wei will definitely make rice dumplings and cook them for them to eat.
Buying rice dumplings from Lady Xia is a must!
Seeing the insistence of the two scholars, based on the principle of making more money, Xia Mingyue said, "Yes, yes, but the rice dumplings made now are made of bamboo tubes, which are a little different from ordinary rice dumplings." Bamboo tube rice dumplings. ?
The two scholars looked at each other and nodded hurriedly, "It doesn't matter what kind of rice dumplings they are."
As long as they are rice dumplings made by Lady Xia.
What's more, I have never heard of bamboo tube rice dumplings. It is probably Lady Xia's own original method.
Such things as originality have always been the result of hard work, and the food that Madam Xia can make with her heart will definitely taste good.
"How many rice dumplings do you want? Do you have any requirements for the fillings?" Let’s make some rice dumplings for you to try.”
Meat dumplings?
Another thing I have never heard of.
As I said before, you can taste whatever Mrs. Xia makes, no matter what it is.
"Ms. Xia, just watch and do it." The two people only responded.
"Then I will make it based on the quantity of materials." Xia Mingyue said, "But the rice dumplings will have to be delivered the day after tomorrow at the earliest."
Go find the young disciple today. Order some more bamboo poles and pack them up after they are delivered tomorrow. The next morning, you can make and cook rice dumplings.
"Ms. Xia can just look at the arrangements." The two people still replied like this.
As long as you can eat the rice dumplings.
Other things... are not important!
After agreeing on the rice dumplings, the two of them also paid part of the deposit.
Xia Mingyue's bamboo tube rice dumplings are heavy and use a lot of ingredients. The bean paste and candied date rice dumplings cost six cents each, while the meat rice dumplings cost ten cents each.
After collecting the money, Xia Mingyue immediately went to the street to find the young man selling rice dumpling leaves. This time he wanted to sell ten pieces of bamboo.
"No problem!" The young man agreed, "It's still the same price as last time. I'll cut it early tomorrow and deliver it to your house after noon."
In this case, he can sell rice dumpling leaves for a while without delaying the afternoon.
"Sure, the sooner the better." Xia Mingyue explained.
It takes a certain amount of time to process bamboo, so do it sooner rather than later.
"Don't worry, I'm sure." The young man agreed, and then started selling rice dumpling leaves louder and louder.
Sold out earlier, he went back to sharpen his knife earlier.
And to get ten bamboos, I need to find a flatbed truck. I have to go to my second uncle’s house and borrow his truck.
Xia Mingyue didn't know the various plans of the descendants, so she just returned to the wonton stall and was busy.
Wontons, pancakes and cold noodles are all sold out every day, and today is no exception.
After packing up and going home, Jiang Erniu came to the door after being busy for a while.
"I was about to go find Brother Jiang to talk about the receipt." Xia Mingyue took out the paper of the receipt written by Zhang Mingyi and Fan Pingyang, "Brother Jiang, take a look to see if there is anything wrong. Do you need to modify it? ”
Jiang Erniu still trusted Xia Mingyue's character.
It’s just that the receipt needs to be stamped with fingerprints. To be on the safe side, I went to the shopkeeper Qian on the street and asked him to read it.
