However, because I was a beggar, I didn’t have any more exquisite materials, so I wrapped it in lotus leaves and baked it in a stove on the ground.
Because of the fragrance of the lotus leaf, combined with the taste of the chicken itself, it tastes particularly sweet.
What was originally a casual combination turned out to be a fixed thing. Later, when Uncle Hong made a comeback, he continued to use this beggar's chicken as his signature.
After Jiang Xiaojiu heard about it, she originally planned to buy a few beggar's chickens and try them out to see how others tasted, and to see where they could surpass them.
But as soon as she expressed this idea, Jiang Hexi stopped her. After all, such imitation is stealing the fruits of other people's labor. As an intellectual woman in the 21st century, she can be said to know intellectual property very well.
Moreover, although she is not a young artist, she has always supported originality of artistic works and combated piracy.
She encouraged Jiang Xiaojiu not to imitate other people's tastes, but to see if he can use his own taste and create his own path.
Jiang Xiaojiu now had a backer, especially when Jiang Hexi placed one hundred taels of silver next to her pillow. She knew that maybe this business would be more difficult to start, but with so much money to support herself,
No matter how difficult it is, you can get through it.
After sorting out her thoughts, she took Jiang Hexi to the blacksmith shop to find a wheelbarrow and a charcoal grill. This way, she could hawk on the street like Uncle Hong.
It's just that the wheelbarrow doesn't seem to be pushing smoothly. If you're not careful, it will go awry and even feel like it's about to fall over.
Jiang Hexi asked Jiang Xiaojiu to practice in the backyard for a long time, and finally she was able to walk on a straight line with difficulty.
Then she asked Jiang Xiaojiu to push the empty cart onto the river for a while. When she was able to walk steadily on the river, she asked her to start preparing to sell.
After everything was ready, Xiaojiu's riverside stall was officially established. First, she should give her business a resounding name.
After thinking about it for a long time, I still can't find a suitable name. If it is loud, it feels like it has no connotation. If it has connotation, it feels like it will be difficult to pronounce and no one can remember it.
He Xi pondered for a while and said to Xiaojiu: "The names of many businesses are the names of their creators. Your name is Xiaojiu, how about you call it Xiaojiu BBQ Stall?"
Jiang Xiaojiu thought for a while and shook her head: "I don't think it's necessarily good. Because most people have the same surname and ranking. Over time, it's hard to know who they are."
Jiang Hexi looked at Jiang Xiaojiu with some frustration: "Look at you, I asked you to come up with a name, but you can't think of it. But when I say one thing, you deny it. I really convince you."
Jiang Xiaojiu laughed loudly and said to Jiang Hexi: "Look, my barbecue stall is called the No. 9 barbecue stall, okay?"
Although this name is not very amazing, it is very creative. In other people's minds, numbers always start from the beginning, but the result is number nine, which sounds very fresh.
Plus, the names of No. 9 and Xiaojiu coincide with each other, so it seems like a good choice.
Next, it’s time to make the sign.
It seems that Beggar's Chicken or some other restaurant has its own famous name, and it also designs a very unique pattern. For the No. 9 barbecue stall, there is a nine-dot flag, three rows long and three rows vertical, which looks like
Very beautiful.
The two sisters worked hard for a long time, and in the evening, Butcher Liu delivered mutton, beef and pork.
Jiang Xiaojiu simply marinated it first and prepared for a big cooking dinner in the evening.
Although Jiang Hexi was the initiator of this matter, she had never really sold barbecue. The first time she made it, she was still a little nervous. She hid in the yard alone and simulated pushing it for a while. She felt nothing.
Now that we have a problem, we start to organize things to take to the streets.
Jiang Xiaojiu is a competent professional chef. He doesn't care about anything else, as long as he cooks the dishes in hand.
When it got dark, she started organizing things in the kitchen.
This time I am going to sell it on the street. The quantity I prepare is naturally more than what I prepare at home, and a little more than what I sell in Baohe Hall. What is even more different is that if you want to attract others, you need to add more sesame oil.
There is salt.
While playing with it, I felt a strange sound coming from outside. When I looked up, I saw that there were several cute cats. It turned out that my food was too fragrant, and it actually disturbed the cats coming and going.
Seeing the pitiful looks of those cats, she decided to cut a piece of pork and give it to them to eat.
However, there is also a civet cat that doesn't seem to want to leave at all. It won't eat anything when given. It just sits on the stove blankly, as if it is just a decoration on the stove.
Jiang Hexi saw this cute little tabby cat and went over to hug it. Unexpectedly, the little tabby cat started to rub her face.
"I think this cat is so cute. If you go shopping on the first day tomorrow, take it with you and consider it your mascot!" Jiang Hexi suggested, and Jiang Xiaojiu happily accepted it.
Before dawn the next day, Jiang Xiaojiu couldn't sleep in bed and ran to Jiang Hexi's room.
Jiang Hexi looked at Jiang Xiaojiu's complacent look, gently took out her hand and pinched her cheek, and said with a smile: "You can't wait so hard? If you can still be so positive after three months, then the wine is really powerful."
Jiang Xiaojiu didn't say much and pushed the wheelbarrow to the entrance of the yard.
The tabby cat that followed her closely followed her. It also raised its front paws, like a lucky cat, to show its goodwill to the people crossing the river.
They found a section of the river that was usually deserted, put down their wheelbarrows, lit a charcoal fire, and started shouting.
“No.9 BBQ stall, No.9 BBQ stall, freshly fried and sold, fresh and delicious!”
Sure enough, it attracted many elderly people who came out to go to the market. Looking at the plump meat on the wheelbarrow, it was very tempting, but it felt too big. If it is not good after buying it, you cannot return it.
"Uncle, you can try our trial version!" Jiang Hexi greeted quickly, then put some chopped meat slices nearby, tied a piece with a bamboo skewer, and handed it to the old man.
The old man put this piece of meat into his mouth. The aroma of the pork and the purity of the ingredients gave people a refreshing taste.
The old man looked at the large pieces of roast meat, weighed it, looked at it carefully, and asked: "Are you sure this tastes the same as the one just now?"
Jiang Xiaojiu smiled and said: "How can this be false? These meats are all cut from the same piece of meat yesterday. If you don't like to eat it, there's nothing you can do about it. If you like to eat it, I guarantee that these will taste exactly the same!"
As he said that, he put the meat in his hand on the fire and grilled it, which attracted more people from Jiangxi.
Several people who had seen patients in Baohe Hall saw it was Jiang Hexi and came over to say hello, "Miss Jiang, are you out making delicious food now?"
Jiang Hexi greeted and introduced her sister.
In just half an hour, Jiang Xiaojiu's barbecue was almost sold out.
Jiang Xiaojiu was busy cutting and delivering meat. She was busy up and down. She didn't feel anything when she was busy, but when she stopped, she knew she was tired.
She stretched her body and said, "Hey, it turns out that this thing is so easy to sell. If I had known that I would make more of it, I might be able to sell it for a whole day!"
Jiang Hexi tapped Jiang Xiaojiu's head lightly: "You are stupid, are you really stupid? Can this barbecue be stocked? Besides, there are several people in Qinghe County. Even if everyone buys your pork, you still
How many can be sold?”
As a senior online business operator in the new century, Jiang Hexi's judgment of the market and demand can be said to be unparalleled. And he is so convincing that even an old antique like Xiaojiu can obey his words.
Jiang Xiaojiu said with some reluctance: "However, after being busy for a long time, I only sell for a while, so I feel idle and don't know what to do."
Jiang Hexi burst out laughing: "So you are still worried about having too much leisure time? Many people usually have no leisure time even if they want to have leisure time. It would be better for you to find something to do for yourself."
Jiang Xiaojiu curled her lips and looked at Jiang Hexi: "I really don't know what to do, and I don't like traveling around. Don't I just guard this boiler and cook food every day?"
Jiang Hexi looked at Xiaojiu's silly look. Although she was very old-fashioned, her attitude of focusing on cooking was still very admirable. She gently scratched Jiang Xiaojiu's nose and said with a smile: "You, you!"
The kitten next to her seemed to understand the conversation between the two sisters, wagging her tail gently, as if she was enjoying the process of shopping outside.
"How many pieces of meat are left, let's go back for extra food, okay?" After some persuasion from He Xi, Jiang Xiaojiu seemed to understand that there was no way to make enough money, so she might as well spend more time with her family.
Jiang Hexi saw that no one was there, so she prepared to push the wheelbarrow and walk towards home.
Just after taking two steps, two scholars came face to face, stopped the wheelbarrow, and asked: "How much does your barbecue cost per pound?"
"Five copper coins!" Jiang Xiaojiu said without thinking.
The two scholars saw that there was not a lot of barbecue meat on the car, so they patted the car and said with a smile: "We all want the meat in this car. How much money do you think it will cost?"
"The total is thirty copper coins. If we buy them together, I will charge you twenty-five copper coins. What do you think?" Jiang Hexi said it in one breath.
"Twenty-five is twenty-five! Take it!" The scholar behind took out a slap of money and handed it to Jiang Hexi. But they looked at it and saw the cute tabby cat wagging its tail next to the car.
So I lowered my head and teased the little cat.
The civet cat didn't seem to take it very seriously. It climbed onto the scholar's hand and meowed softly.
"This thing is good, how much does it cost?" asked the leading scholar.
