Soldiers like them don't come often, they have to work shifts. After sending back the family allowance, they can hold it in their own hands. Half a month is enough for them to have a leisurely meal.
The word spread among the young soldiers in the military camp. When it comes to Liu's stall, they all give a thumbs up. Especially those who are not married, the money they spend on Liu's stall is even more out of control.
Hearing other tables discussing the pork head meat, they couldn't help but ask Mei Niang who served the dish, "Mei Niang, will the pig head meat be available tomorrow?"
Tang Zangyue had left long ago, but they all knew how to deal with this problem after hearing Tang Zangyue's words. Mei Niang now had the confidence to take charge of her own affairs and responded generously: "Yes, I have it, but I won't give it away. You have to buy it. Our old lady will get pig heads from other places to ensure they are fresh. But everyone knows that pork is expensive in the border areas and you can’t eat it more than once a year, so you can only sell one head a day. It should be sold in limited quantities, otherwise other customers won’t be able to buy it.”
"Hey, what's so delicious about the pig's head meat? It's not on sale yet, so you think we can't buy it?" Several people looked at each other and smiled.
Of course, they were just joking. Everyone knows that the taste of braised pork cannot be imitated by other stall owners. If the pork head meat was more expensive and high-quality, it would really be a priceless scene.
Mei Niang couldn't help laughing, "Well, let the officials take a look tomorrow."
"By the way, what's the price of pork head meat then?"
"We haven't set the price yet. We have to wait until it's ready tonight and set up the stall tomorrow."
…
Tang Zangyue first went to Dr. Xue's house and delivered a pound of braised pork belly and half a pound of pork head. After saying goodbye in a hurry, she came to Shopkeeper Chu.
Shopkeeper Chu still gave the same thing here, and asked about the sales situation of "Chu Jade".
The counterfeit goods of "Chu Jade" can't make any waves, but "Chu Jade" can only be popular in the north and cannot open up the market in the south, especially the capital Chang'an.
Shopkeeper Chu didn't care, but smiled heartily and said: "Chang'an needs a backer to rise. It's not easy for us ordinary businessmen to integrate into that circle. The richest man buys an official position for his descendants, so we'd better not think about it.
However, after our "Chu Yu" grew bigger, we caused a lot of trauma to Bai Dong's family. As a result, in order to match our family's jewelry, those ladies from the government and businessmen rarely went to the restaurant under Bai Dong's name to dine. Probably only those with extraordinary backgrounds Men will still go, but most of them go to eat and drink, and the food can’t be sold much.”
"Eat wine..."
Seeing that the other party was deep in thought, Shopkeeper Chu became more energetic and asked, "Does the old lady have other ideas?"
Tang Zangyue smiled lightly, "The Bai Dong family will not come to trouble our Xiao family unless they have time to take care of themselves. Naturally, the more business that hinders his business, the more beneficial it will be to me."
"Want to cheat on the wine?"
"There is no need to be in such a hurry for the time being. Let me make plans in July next year. By then, I will have to ask you and Dr. Xue to cover for me."
"What's so difficult about this?" Wealth is in danger. Even if Shopkeeper Chu now realizes that Tang Zangyue wants to go out to avoid Bai Dong's family, there are many explanations that don't make sense and are full of loopholes... But when he sees Bai Huahua's money coming in, , he is very happy if he can even hit Dong Bai’s family! He can also cook a few more bowls of rice every day!
Tang Zangyue's eyebrows relaxed and she said, "As long as you say this, it will be enough."
"This is a new style of 'Chu Yu'... However, I can't design the style of 'Chu Yu' alone. I asked Shopkeeper Chu to find the person, can you find it?"
Shopkeeper Chu: "I have been keeping an eye on Doctor Tang for a long time. Will you meet me in person in three days?"
"That's fine."
"Speaking of which, a man came to my door. I felt a little surprised. Doctor Tang, you must not have thought of who this man was."
"Huh? Who?"
"He was the one who set up the stage with us, launched the brand of 'Chu Yu', and established brand awareness for officials and business ladies."
Tang Zangyue seemed to have an impression, "The mistress of the house is a step-in-law, and even a legitimate daughter who was belittled as a concubine in the family?"
"It's her."
…
The food at Liu's stall was sold out early, and the group did not return to Jiuli Village until Uncle Zhao arrived with his carriage.
There are still a few braised dishes, especially in the cold winter months, when there is no grass growing in the border areas. Ordinary people want to eat vegetables to supplement their vitamins, so they can only eat pickles. If wealthy families burn kangs, they can grow some fresh vegetables, but the cost
high.
The braised vegetables at Liu's stall are all fresh.
Several villages have been unable to provide fresh vegetables in recent months, so Tang Zangyue can only consume the fresh vegetables in the space. However, starting from collecting vegetables from each village, she used the leftover vegetables from the daily stalls to store them in the space. She herself
Less pain of loss.
Because the price of braised vegetables has not increased, the customers who were attracted by braised pork today will start buying braised vegetables in a few days.
After lunch, Tang Zangyue drove a carriage out for a trip. When she came back, there was not only a bloody pig's head, but also fresh vegetables inside. While the people in the courtyard were busy, she went to the village chief's house.
.
Sister Zhang came to open the door.
Seeing Tang Zangyue, she was a little surprised, "Old madam?" Immediately, she couldn't help but smile with joy, "What kind of wind brings you here? Come, come, come, sit inside. Have you had lunch?"
?Would you like some more?"
Tang Zangyue could hardly resist this enthusiasm.
Just when she was about to refuse, she was already pulled into the main room and sat down with her shoulders pressed. Sister Zhang asked her sister to grab two handfuls of peanuts from the bedside table. She also made a pot of hot tea herself and poured it in a bowl for Tang Zangyue.
Sister Zhang behaved generously and said: "Old madam, don't think it's rough to hold the tea in the bowl. I really can't find a cup at home. We country people drink as much as we can."
Tang Zangyue didn't take it seriously and said: "Next time, just give me some hot water. As for tea... I really can't get used to it. It's not as good as drinking strong liquor."
Sister Zhang: "Okay, next time I'll pour hot water for the old lady!"
Sister Zhang grabbed two handfuls of peanuts, but Sister Zhang couldn't find the plate, so she put them on the table and said, "Old lady, eat and see how our fried peanuts from the Zhang family are like."
Tang Zangyue ate two pills. When she saw Sister Zhang looking at them eagerly, she grabbed a handful and called to Sister Zhang, "Come here, little girl."
As soon as the Zhang family sister came over, Tang Zangyue stuffed peanuts into her hand.
When Sister Zhang saw this, her eyelids drooped and she said, "Gungun, those little hooves with shallow eyelids, have the same virtues as your mother." She was scolded, but Sister Zhang had never done it before, and she was usually very mean to her own family members.
.
Therefore, Sister Zhang was not afraid of Sister Zhang at all. Instead, the wind blew under her feet and she ran away very fast.
Sister Zhang looked back and saw that Tang Zangyue did not show any dissatisfaction, but instead had a slight smile in her eyes, so she felt relieved. She asked tentatively: "Is the old lady coming this time?"
Tang Zangyue: "I think the dishes at the braised pork stall at home are a little lacking. I saw that the village chief has graphite at his house, so I wanted to ask if the grain has been ground and stored?"
"The grain has been ground long ago...what does the old lady mean?"
"Does anyone in Sister Zhang's family know how to grind tofu?"
