Chapter 62 Setting up a stall to sell jam
Su Xiaoxiao quickly changed the topic and said to Sanlang and the children: "Hurry up, get up quickly, I'm going to make jam."
The jam that Su Xiaoxiao cooked this time looked very yellow and bright, and it was also shiny. After seeing it, Sanlang hurried over and took a taste.
"The color of this jam looks so nice."
Su Xiaoxiao scooped a spoonful for him, and Sanlang put it in his mouth to taste, "It's really delicious."
"It's sour and sweet, and it's not as astringent as the jam we had in the big restaurant before."
Sanlang said this, and Su Xiaoxiao still believed in Sanlang's judgment.
She just wants to make jam like this, and if the jam she makes is sold in the world, it will definitely fetch a good price.
"So those porcelain bottles you ordered were just for holding jam?"
"Well, if I sell this jam in the world, one way is to prepare it for retail sales, and the other way is to put it in bottles and sell it to major restaurants and shops."
Su Xiaoxiao seemed to have had a plan for a long time, but Sanlang really didn't expect this.
He immediately opened his eyes wide and looked at Su Xiaoxiao.
"Have you already planned this?"
Su Xiaoxiao nodded, "Well, I'm going to put it in bottles this time. If you take it out, it costs ten cents a bottle."
Although Saburo didn't quite understand the price, he was also thinking, "If it's so expensive, will anyone be willing to pay for it?"
After all, rice only costs a penny per pound now. Who is willing to spend a high price to buy this jam and not be hungry?
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "This is really not necessarily true."
"Now life is different from before, and some people are beginning to pursue a high-quality life."
Su Xiaoxiao continued: "Take this jam business as an example. At the Eight Immortals Restaurant where we went to eat, isn't there a dish called raw fish and dumplings? They use jam, but the quality of their jam is really poor. It will directly affect the sales of this dish.”
Su Xiaoxiao explained.
"Then if they use the jam I provide, they will be able to sell this dish better. I think that's the case."
Su Xiaoxiao is very confident in her jam, but it is true.
"Sanlang, since you have nothing to do, just join Sister Sun and help me sell jam."
When Sanlang heard this, it was really surprising that Su Xiaoxiao wanted to arrange a job for himself.
At this time, Su Xiaoxiao was full of confidence. She said to Sanlang: "When those porcelain bottles are ready, we can take them to the market and sell them."
Three days later, the old man came over with a hundred porcelain vases. On them, as Su Xiaoxiao said, there was a red three-petal flower, and then there were the characters "Baihua Village" printed on them, which meant that this village was the place of production.
Mrs. Sun came here this morning, with a smile on her face and she was very happy.
Today is market day. Su Xiaoxiao took all the jam and put it all in porcelain bottles and put it on the bullock cart.
Sanlang, the two children, and Mrs. Sun sat on the ox cart, and they drove the ox cart to the town together.
After walking for a while, the sun came out and the weather gradually became a little hot.
The two children seemed very excited. When they arrived in the town, some prosperous scenes gradually appeared in front of everyone here.
On the east side of the market, Su Xiaoxiao and the others found a stall. There was no charge for stalls here. As long as you came early, you could still get a stall.
She found an empty spot here, and after moving a broken table from the cart, she first moved down the jar where the jam was placed, and then she started setting up a stall. Sanlang and Sun were responsible for selling these retail jams. They were wrapped in oil paper at the market price of two cents per tael for those in need to purchase.
In fact, people at this time generally like to eat sweets.
After the stalls were set up, people hadn't started coming in yet.
The vendors selling other products nearby all came over, and they stared curiously at Su Xiaoxiao's stall.
"What are you selling?"
Su Xiaoxiao didn't hide it. She opened the lids of the jam, and everyone saw a golden piece of fragrant jam.
Someone asked: "Madam, is this jam?"
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "Yes, this is orange jam."
"Isn't such a precious thing only sold in big restaurants?"
"Yeah, we usually don't get to eat it. I didn't expect that someone would sell this thing in the market!"
Su Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, just smiled and listened to them continue talking.
"Little lady, is the jam you make authentic?"
"Yes, this is usually something people eat. Rich people are very demanding!"
"You can have a taste. Give me some advice by the way."
Su Xiaoxiao looked very humble. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, someone in the crowd finally stood up.
"Let me try it. I have eaten fish breasts at the Eight Immortals House before and seen the jam they make."
When this man stood up, everyone saw that he was Boss Qu who owned a grocery store nearby.
This man looks rich, his face is red, and he looks very easy-going.
His grocery store is in a back street. He came over to go shopping today when he had nothing to do, and he saw such a scene.
Someone in the crowd knew him and knew that the boss was indeed well-informed and knew him very well.
Not to mention anything else, his family owns a grocery store and has never seen any delicious food.
Su Xiaoxiao took a look and said to him: "Okay, boss, please come and taste it and give us some opinions."
Boss Qu took a small bowl that Su Xiaoxiao brought over. There was half a bowl of golden orange jam in the bowl. He gently scooped up a spoonful of jam with a spoon. He first brought it to his nose and smelled it. He felt it. A refreshing fragrance.
Boss Qu didn't expect it either. He quickly scooped it up with a small spoon and licked it gently with the tip of his tongue, and then began to eagerly take another mouthful of jam.
"It's indeed a good thing!"
His mood seemed to be rising at this time, and he felt that he must have eaten something good. Unexpectedly, this jam was even a hundred times more delicious than the jam he had eaten in the big restaurant.
Boss Qu was full of praise for Su Xiaoxiao, "My dear lady, the jam you made is even more delicious than the one I had in a big restaurant. Not only is the jam very fresh and fragrant, but it also doesn't have the astringent texture that I tasted in a big restaurant." .Why is this?”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled mysteriously and said: "Of course there is some secret method in it."
"Oh, it turns out it's a recipe passed down from my ancestors, and it's really amazing!"
