Zhou Yilang's preparations were much more thoughtful than Friday Lang's. Man Bao went to find the basket brought by his second brother, and found that there was a pot of chopped pork bones in it, the kind with meat.
There are two pork belly of about the same size, and one fat meat.
Man Bao drooled at them.
Zhou Zhoulang was afraid that Man Bao's saliva would drip on the meat, so he quickly lifted him away, and coaxed: "Second brother will give you meat at noon."
Man Bao drooled and nodded.
Thinking about food, she was reluctant to leave, so she squatted in front of the stove to help light the fire. In fact, she just took a look at the fire and told her brothers when she saw that the fire was low, and then someone would come up to add firewood.
After squatting with her for a while, Bai Shanbao felt that watching the fire was not fun, so he went surfing with Bai Erlang, and they went to play in the ditch that had been dug.
Daji followed them every step of the way, and Zhou Zhoulang didn't worry after taking a look at them.
He also put the cleaned big bones with meat into the kettle. Since he knew that stewing soup can make money, and he can make a lot of money, he must make the soup better, at least with more oil and water, right
Tuesday Lang put the lid on, then cut the cabbage and radish.
Today they also brought a smaller cauldron and a large jar.
Estimating that the time was almost up, he put the fat meat and radishes into the cauldron, and after stewing for less than a quarter of an hour, he lit a fire on the stove set up beside him to cook the radish stew.
The soup in the kettle is used.
In this way, even oil is saved.
When the radish stew was ready, he poured all the vegetables into a jar, put it on the fire and heated it, and then began to cook the cabbage stew.
When the official rang the gong for the meal, the official who came to deliver the meal couldn't help but look at this side again and again, and then asked his colleagues, "It smells better than yesterday?"
The two officials wandered over to look at it earlier, knowing that the Zhou brothers brought a lot of meat today, and they planned to cook meat dishes.
Just looking at his colleagues, the two officials looked at each other, and smiled indifferently: "I asked, they use a lot of meat, and the whole family spends on it, just to earn some hard money."
The two of them were also afraid that the officials would drive them away, because Zhou Zhoulang hinted this morning that if his business can continue, there will be no shortage of filial piety.
what does that mean
Means they can eat and drink for free.
The messenger who delivered the meal glanced at the group of people surrounding the cauldron, saw that they were both young and strong and had children, so he stopped thinking about it, handed the meal to them and said, "Okay, lunch is here, I will Go back first."
"good."
Everyone took their steamed buns, and subconsciously walked towards Zhou's stove. After smelling the fragrance, everyone asked with a smile, "What smells so fragrant today?"
Wu Wulang said with a smile: "My second brother bought some more meat today, and said to cook a dish for the big guys to add flavor, five yuan a spoonful, if the brothers want to eat, tell the younger brother, and the younger brother will give it to you." You fight."
Zhou Zhoulang took over the conversation and said with a smile to them: "Thank you brothers for your support yesterday, but it's cold and people can easily get sick if they only eat soup and don't eat vegetables. Yesterday my sister said it as soon as she came home. Her third brother can only eat dry food in the field and has no vegetables to eat, so we prepared some vegetables today, but not many, and we can buy some if we want to change our taste."
"By the way," Zhou Zhoulang said with a smile, "We're still doing the same thing as yesterday in the afternoon, boiling a pot of hot water for everyone to make steamed buns."
As he spoke, Zhou Yilang opened the lid of the jar containing radish stew, and then opened the lid of the cabbage stew heated with charcoal.
Everyone can clearly see the slices of meat wrapped in radishes and cabbage, and many Lao Ding swallowed subconsciously.
Speaking of which, they haven't eaten food for a long, long time.
The aroma is tangy, and Zhou Zhoulang's craftsmanship may be very ordinary, but he uses bone broth to cook the dishes, and he also puts an appropriate amount of salt, and there are pork belly in the dishes. Where to eat, not to mention his craftsmanship is not that bad.
But the price is also very expensive, five cents.
Although they knew that five renminbi was not expensive when there were vegetables and meat, anyone who had been to the county town to eat knew that such a dish would cost at least ten renminbi in the county town.
Many people only salivated at the dishes, and didn't dare to pay for them. Most people still lined up to buy soup.
Then they found that today's soup was quite oily and better than yesterday, so they were happy.
The dozen or so people in front all asked for soup, and no one asked for food. Zhou Zhoulang was not in a hurry. He took all of them home for his family to eat.
With so many families, they must have eaten late.
It is also because of this situation that Zhou Yilang didn't cook a lot.
There are only about a dozen servings of cabbage and radish.
Man Bao was in charge of collecting the money, and Zhou Yilang brought an extra big spoon today, and he was on the side with Lao Wu, so the speed was much faster.
Zhou Zhoulang quickly came over with buns, and Zhou Zhoulang asked him to wait for a while, found a big bowl from the basket next to him, filled him with two dishes, and asked him to eat while squatting.
Quite a few Laudings looked at the dishes in his bowl, and they discussed with Zhou Zhoulang, "I don't want to buy just one dish, but it's too bad to spend ten cents. How about you give me half a spoonful?"
Zhou Zhoulang thought for a while and then nodded, "Okay."
The man immediately took out five Wen coins, just as he was standing in front of Man Bao, and handed the money to Man Bao.
When the people behind saw him buying vegetables, they also began to use their brains, and began to discuss with Zhou Zhoulang, "Brother, why don't I only need half a scoop, and you can give me less, can I count it as two cents?"
Zhou Zhoulang: "... Well, it's not easy to calculate."
This breaks the rules, how can we do business in the future
And one spoon is easy to calculate. Anyway, no matter if there is more radish stew or more cabbage stew, anyway, add a piece and it will be a spoonful. It is eaten by the guests, and most of the guests will not have any objections.
But what if he thinks that half a spoonful is missing
Zhou Yilang was thinking about making a speech, but Man Bao thought it was a good idea, but she changed the concept, "Yes, yes, this will save everyone money, big brother, you can find someone to partner with you, and one person will pay half of it." For the money, buy a spoonful of radish stew and cabbage stew, so you can eat two dishes for half the money.”
Now the other party's heart was moved, and he asked: "But how do you calculate these two and a half pennies?"
"It's not easy? My brother and the others come here every day. You can find a better one. This time you pay three Wen, and next time you want to buy vegetables, it's his turn to pay three Wen, wouldn't it be good?"
Laudin thought it a good idea, and turned to his cousin.
The two quickly squeezed forward, first bought a bowl of soup each, and then bought a spoonful of vegetables together.
With them as demonstrations, others will learn from them later.
People from one village to another gather together for military service. First, they can take care of each other. Second, it is for the sake of An Laoding’s heart, and it is also easy to manage, so it is quite easy to find familiar people.
Either they are relatives, cousins, clan brothers or something in the family, or they are neighbors in the same village. Therefore, it is quite easy to find partners, and the dishes are decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
