He Yunxi filled a small plate with a little vinegar and placed it in front of Yuan Yuan.
Yuan Yuan took the small plate and was about to drink it, but He Yunxi quickly stopped him: "This is not for drinking. If you drink this plate, your tongue will suffer today."
After that, she gave him a pair of chopsticks.
Yuan Yuan dipped some of it into his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
This is the first time Yuan Yuan has tasted this kind of taste. It is a bit sour, but it is different from the sourness of fruits and is a bit punchy.
"This taste... is very special." Yuan Yuan struggled for a while before thinking of a word to describe it, "How does this seasoning taste like when cooking?"
"You'll know after you taste it." He Yunxi asked Liangchen and Liangji to bring a stove and a pot, and placed them in front of the shop.
Yuan Yuan's eyes lit up: "Are you planning to cook on the spot?"
"Yes, only if you have seen how this is made with your own eyes and tasted it with your own mouth can you know how these seasonings are."
People in the surrounding shops and people passing by were very curious about this scene.
He Yunxi calmly washed the pot and put it on the stove. When the pot was ready, he poured a spoonful of soybean oil into it. When the oil was hot, he put in the chopped cabbage. After frying for a while, he added salt and soy sauce.
Vinegar, add some gravy, and then take it out of the pot.
Before adding the vinegar, she filled half of it out and compared the two dishes.
The vinegar she used was the same one that was on the plate just now. Yuan Yuan didn't expect that much from the vinegary cabbage because of the smell just now.
Mainly because the vinegar tastes so weird when eaten directly.
"Shopkeeper Yuan, please try it." He Yunxi put the two plates on the temporary folding table outside, took out a few pairs of chopsticks, and said to the people watching the excitement, "Everyone, neighbors, want to try it.
You can come and try it.”
When she fried it, everyone could smell the aroma. Compared with boiled cabbage and boiled radish, its taste was simply too attractive. As soon as she mentioned it, many people wanted to try it.
Yuan Yuan took a bite without vinegar first. As expected of He Yunxi, the Chinese cabbage was crispy and fragrant, much more delicious than the Chinese cabbage sold in their store.
Then he took another bite filled with vinegar, and his eyes suddenly widened.
This taste...amazing!
It obviously didn't taste good when eaten before, so why is it so delicious when put into the dish?
Others were the same. They kept eating while wondering how this vinegar could be so delicious.
He Yunxi didn't tell them in detail. She washed the pot, added water, took out the cleaned bean sprouts, and planned to make a cold bean sprout dish.
She made three flavors of cold bean sprouts. One only added minced garlic, ginger, salt and soy sauce, and then drizzled some soybean oil. One added spicy oil, and the other added vinegar.
After it was done, everyone came over to taste it, and in the end they all agreed that the ultimate version with vinegar was the best.
He Yunxi also made a cold chicken dish, which was the most delicious after adding vinegar.
"Vinegar can be added to all cold dishes and many stir-fried dishes. And being jealous occasionally is good for your health," He Yunxi said.
Yuan Yuan was the most excited and asked: "Mrs. Lu, how do you sell this vinegar?"
"Twenty cents per catty."
"This is a bit expensive." Yuan Yuan said subconsciously.
"You don't need much vinegar for one meal." He Yunxi told him, and also told others, "You just saw me cooking, and the amount I put in is very small. Calculating it this way, one dish doesn't cost a penny."
The amount of money.”
If you think about it, it's not expensive at all.
Yuan Yuan continued to ask: "Mrs. Lu, your soy sauce doesn't seem to taste the same as meat sauce."
"Yes, this is not made of meat, but the taste is almost the same." He Yunxi responded.
Yuan Yuan asked again: "How to sell this?"
"This is also twenty cents per catty." He Yunxi said.
The soy sauce made from meat paste costs 100 Wen per catty, but if you sell it yourself for 20 Wen, it is considered cheap.
Yuan Yuan's eyes lit up, this is so cheap!
He looked at the dishes made by He Yunxi and saw that each dish did not use much. With this soy sauce, Dingshan no longer had to worry about it when cooking.
"What about this oil? How to sell it?"
He Yunxi: "Thirty coins per catty."
Ten kilograms of glutinous rice can make forty kilograms of vinegar, and one kilogram of glutinous rice costs twenty cents. Calculating, one kilogram of vinegar costs about five copper coins.
One pound of soybeans can make about two pounds of soy sauce. Looking at this alone, the cost per pound is less than two cents.
There is also soybean oil, which costs only ten cents.
The price she shouted was very low compared to current soy sauce.
And regardless of the low cost of beans, glutinous rice, etc., the time cost is very high. Glutinous rice takes three months, and soy sauce takes half a year.
This all takes a long time to do.
Time cost is also a cost but not.
And I still have money to buy a shop and decorate it.
Hmm, put it this way, it seems to be a relatively reasonable price.
"No wonder your food is more delicious. Give me fifty pounds of the same." Yuan Yuan said.
"Okay! Let Liangchen and the others deliver it to Baiweilou later." He Yunxi said, "But we don't have cans of fifty kilograms. The largest one is ten kilograms. You know, this way the sealing is better, not
It will break because it has been opened for a long time.”
"I understand, I understand, Mrs. Lu is so attentive." Yuan Yuan is no stranger to her method, because the red chili sauce is also kept insulated from the air in this way.
"By the way, Mrs. Lu, do you have more? I think the young master knows about it and may come to you to buy some."
"Your fifty pounds are not enough to send to Liaozhou?"
"Liaozhou is enough, but we have a lot of Baiweilou in the entire Liaozhou city. How can we get these fifty kilograms?"
"We still have it. If we only supply the entire Baiweilou, it should be okay. But if you ask for too much, it won't be enough." He Yunxi said.
"Okay, we will discuss it in detail then. Today's 150 pounds will be sent to Baiweilou first."
"OK."
With Yuan Yuan's start, the surrounding merchants also tried to buy a pound of soy sauce or vinegar. Those who can open a shop in the county generally have good financial resources. Forty coins, take it back and try it.
Some people also bought soybean oil, which is usually used for cooking at home. This soybean oil is cheaper than what is usually used at home. And when she was cooking just now, they smelled the oil.
When selling oil, He Yunxi told them that the oil should not be eaten directly. It had to be fried before adding it to the vegetables, otherwise the fried vegetables would not be delicious.
At the end of the day, in addition to the 50 jins each bought by Yuan Yuan, the soy sauce sold for 17 jins, the vinegar for 18 jins, and the soybean oil for 25 jins.
When it got dark and the shop closed, Lu Yunjiao, Lu Yunqing and Lu Qi went to count the money in their jars.
