The next morning, Ye Chuqiu was going to the city to sell braised food.
This time, she brought Lin Erhu and Lin Sanhu with her to train them. In the future, if either of them could take charge alone, there would be no need for her to take action herself. In addition, she would also train the four tigers.
Wufeng was also brought along. Sihu took the initiative to want to play in the city, but Wufeng was too homely, so Ye Chuqiu took her out for a walk.
"Two coins for everyone entering the city."
When they arrived at the city gate, Ye Chuqiu showed his household registration, which was equivalent to the ancient version of his ID card. Unexpectedly, he didn't even look at it, and just said something with his nostrils in the sky.
"Ahem, Mr. Chao, do you think six cents can be enough? They are two young children." Ye Chuqiu said.
"Okay, eleven coins in total."
The official looked at them with squinted eyes and said.
"Why are you paying back eleven cents? Isn't it six cents?"
Sanhu on the side couldn't help but say, he can still count this point.
"Five cents for livestock." The official replied impatiently, "Will you enter or not? If you don't enter the city, stay out of the way."
"Do you have to pay for livestock to enter the city? And it's more expensive than people?"
An old man driving a donkey cart next to him couldn't help but ask.
"Hey, what you said is that of course you have to pay for livestock to enter the city. You people will not litter after entering the city, right? If livestock defecate everywhere, then they are not allowed to be cleaned?" the official explained.
.
"A total of ten cents, okay?" Ye Chuqiu heard this and handed over ten cents, "I only have ten cents on me."
"Okay, okay, come in quickly and don't block the road."
The official took the money and waved them in, and then the people behind also paid.
They didn't dare to say anything in front of the officials, but after entering the city, they complained one by one, "What a bunch of vampires, they have to pay to enter the city!"
"Yes, two cents is enough to buy a big meat bun."
"If I had known better, I would have tied the donkey cart to a foot shop outside the city, and it would have cost me an extra five cents."
The people around me were very dissatisfied with the matter of officials collecting money.
Ye Chuqiu was also a little dissatisfied. The money was not confiscated the last time he came here. This Anton City has also learned the bad habits of other cities.
"Mom, I just spent ten cents when I entered the city. I don't know how much it will cost later. Can we still make money from doing business?" Lin Sanhu couldn't help but complain on the way.
"Alas~"
Ye Chuqiu sighed, "Let's take it one step at a time. The braised food we make is delicious and we will definitely make money."
Ye Chuqiu and Lin Sanhu walked around the city last time, so they naturally knew where the snack street was. She led a few children there. There were already many stalls on the street. After searching around, they couldn't find a good place.
, she could only set up her stall at the end of the street.
However, although there are not many people at the end of the street, the advantage is that the place is large and can accommodate bullock carts and stalls.
I moved the stove down, added a few more pieces of charcoal to it, and used tongs to stir it up. The charcoal fire instantly became strong. I then moved the pot down and put it on the stove. After a while, the water in the pot started to boil, gurgling.
The thick soup is tumbling, and the fragrance drifts far and wide.
Soon, the fragrance attracted guests. Ye Chuqiu had already prepared lotus leaves and toothpicks. When people came, she cut off a small piece for everyone to taste, because her food had a unique and salty taste.
There is also a hint of spicy chili pepper in it, and the taste conquered these guests at once.
"What are you selling?"
"Braised vegetables, including braised donkey meat, braised pig's trotters, pork knuckles, lotus roots, etc. It depends on what you want to buy." Ye Chuqiu enthusiastically solicited.
"What price?"
"Pig trotters, pig knuckles, and donkey meat are all fifty cents per catty, and lotus roots are twenty cents per catty." Ye Chuqiu replied.
"Fifty Wenqian weighs a pound, isn't it too expensive? You can even order two side dishes in a restaurant."
"It's a bit expensive, but the spices we use are also expensive. This is the only one, no one else." Ye Chuqiu replied neither humble nor arrogant.
"Okay, then give me two kilograms of donkey meat."
"Okay."
Ye Chuqiu responded and asked Sanhu on the side to weigh the ingredients for them.
After the first one was bought, the second one was bought, and then the third one was bought. Suddenly, the small stall was filled with customers.
Of course, because the ingredients Ye Chuqiu sells are a bit expensive, there are still many people who are reluctant to buy them. In this case, she did not stop them.
She knew how poor the poor people were nowadays, and a pound of braised donkey meat was enough for them to buy a lot of food, so she did not try hard to sell it. Instead, she felt indifferent as if one was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer.
Anyway, there are many rich people nowadays, so it is enough to sell the few goods she brought to those rich people.
Not long after the sale, more than half of the ingredients in the pot were filled, and there were far fewer people around the stall. At this time, a burst of noise came, and several people with sticks came noisily. The four clever tigers
He had already seen what was going on, so he secretly came to Ye Chuqiu and said to her: "Mom, there are a few people in front of you collecting money, let's leave quickly."
"How much do they charge?" Ye Chuqiu asked.
"I don't know. Anyway, they charge a lot. There are vendors in front who refuse to give, and they even beat them." Lin Sihu said.
When Ye Chuqiu heard this, he quickly packed up the things on the stall without saying a word.
She didn't have many things, she even put the pot and stove on the carriage, put the table away, and then she could leave. But just when they were about to leave, a woman selling straw sandals diagonally opposite shouted loudly.
He got up and said, "You guys, there is a woman over there who has a good business. Go find them. How much can I get from selling these pairs of straw sandals?"
This woman was actually quite far away from them, and one was selling straw sandals and the other was selling braised meat. Ye Chuqiu could not interfere with her business, but when she saw Ye Chuqiu's business was so prosperous from a distance, she felt jealous, and she just closed the stall.
I was a little slow and was stopped by these ruffians.
Seeing these gangsters asking her to collect money, she quickly pointed them out and handed her over.
Ye Chuqiu originally wanted to pull the bullock cart and leave quickly, but at this moment, several passers-by were blocked in front of the bullock cart. She could only watch helplessly as those ruffians gathered around her.
There were three of them, two of them held shiny black sticks in their hands, and the middle one held a knife.
"No one has ever sold anything on my Qinglang Gang's territory and refused to pay me."
The man in the middle holding a big knife looked at Lin Erhu with fierce eyes.
On the oxcart, the remaining half pot of braised meat was still smelling fragrant, and the smell made these ruffians greedy.
"How much do you want to charge?" Ye Chuqiu asked aloud.
"How much?"
The leader looked at Ye Chuqiu, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Although Ye Chuqiu was covered with a veil, her exposed eyes were enough to attract their attention.
She has a pair of brown eyes, which are clear and light, bright and energetic, and her eyes are very special. They look as calm as autumn water, but also have a tenacity.
