"Have you heard? There is a so-and-so opened in the east of the city... Braised vegetable shop, free tasting, half-price sale on the first day of opening!"
"Braised vegetable shop? What kind of braised vegetable shop?? I've never heard of it, can I eat it?"
"If you can eat it, you will know if you try it? Anyway, it doesn't cost money!"
"Who will do the business without money? Is it worth the money?"
"That's right, that's right! The shopkeeper is so stupid?? He won't lie to people after tasting it, and then ask people for money, right?"
"Impossible! The shop is not far from the magistrate's yamen, how dare a liar cheat under the eyes of the magistrate?"
"Let's go and have a look! It doesn't cost money to have a look..."
…
In the city of Jinweifu, the common people are talking about "Yu Ji Braised Vegetables Shop" in twos and threes. The news of the opening of Yu Ji Braised Vegetables shop, like the cool autumn wind, spread to every corner of Fucheng.
And Yu Xiaocao, who came up with a free tasting gimmick, is busy distributing stewed vegetables to those who are waiting in line to taste! There was a long queue in front of Yu Ji Braised Vegetables Store, and Liu Hu and Yu Hai were busy maintaining order.
Originally, these people were watching from afar with the idea of taking a look. At the beginning, there were very few people in front of the braised vegetables shop, and no one believed that there was a free lunch. It was still a few classmates of Xiao Shitou's family in Fucheng, such as the chubby son Sun Runze and Liu Jinye, who heard that the stewed vegetable shop had a trial opening today, and hurriedly asked the servants to come over and line up. They crowded in front of the glass window, looking at the roast duck, roast chicken, smoked chicken, smoked duck, and bacon drooling.
The first one was the kitchen steward of Sun Runze's family. Yu Xiaocao pointed to slices of braised meat and bacon on the plate, and said with a smile, "Welcome to taste!"
The steward of the Sun family glanced at his young master, raised his voice, and asked loudly, "Can I taste it without buying it?"
"Yes!! We have a trial opening today, free tasting, and half-price discounts for all dishes! You can try it without buying it, but each person can only taste one piece of each dish!" Yu Xiaocao replied loudly with a smile.
The steward of the Sun family tasted everything and was full of praise for the braised pork. My young master has already selected the roast duck, roast chicken and salt water duck that need to be bought, and picked a big sauced elbow. If Yu Xiaocao hadn't stopped him, he might have bought all the varieties!
"The weather is still hot now, and the vegetables can't be stored for a long time. You can just buy today's food. Wouldn't it be a waste to buy too much and go back and spoil it?" Yu Xiaocao saw his momentum and stopped him in time.
The steward of the Sun family looked at the price of stewed pork. After half the price, it was cheaper than raw pork on the market, and the taste was good. He couldn't help but quietly asked the young master: "Young master, my mother likes to eat meat, but she has bad teeth. , this stewed pork head meat is fragrant, glutinous and soft, the servant wants to..."
"You have money in your own pocket, if you want to buy it, you can buy it! Why don't you ask for advice!!" The little fat man used a toothpick to fork a piece of crispy roast duck, put it in his mouth and tasted it, and then said to Yu Xiaocao, "Second Sister, your roast duck tastes as good as Zhenxiulou's, and the price is so cheap. If Zhenxiulou is overwhelmed, let's see if the Zhou family can find anything for you!"
"See clearly, five taels of silver is half price, and the original price will be restored tomorrow!! Besides, the roast duck, roast chicken and other dishes in our store only sell ten pieces a day, and we don't accept reservations. It won't cause any impact!!" Yu Xiaocao swiftly packed and collected the money, and quickly dismissed Xiao Shitou's classmates.
At this time, there was a cold scene in front of the store again. She let go of her voice and yelled: "Yuji Braised Vegetables Store is in trial operation today, free tasting, time limit is half a day. If you want to come and taste it, hurry up, you can taste it if you buy it or not. The free tasting event will end at noon! Don't pass by. miss!!"
Today is the second day after the college exam, and there are still many students nearby who have not left. A student in his twenties, wearing a blue gown, came to the window, looked at Yu Xiaocao and asked softly, "Excuse me... have you ever sold braised vegetables at Tanggu Wharf?"
Yu Xiaocao raised her eyes to look at him, nodded with a smile on her face, and said: "Yes! We are very famous for the one-penny meat dishes at the pier, not only the local people in Tanggu, but also foreign merchants, who also praised our braised vegetables. Absolutely. Brother, since you have heard of our family’s braised vegetables, try to see if it suits your taste.”
The student blushed and waved his hands again and again, and said, "I didn't come to taste it for free. My father brought me your braised vegetables from the pier before. It's delicious, and our family likes to eat it! It's a pity that we have been eating it since last autumn. I can’t buy it anymore, I’ll go home early tomorrow morning, and I want to bring back some braised vegetables…”
"Our family has many kinds of stewed vegetables. I don't know which flavor you prefer, so try everything!" Yu Xiaocao knew the reason why he refused to try it, and she was afraid that his classmates would say that love would take advantage of it, so she persuaded him to try it. Taste it.
The student in blue looked at the prices of various stewed vegetables in the window, picked up two cheaper ones and tried them, but he probably didn't even taste the taste, so he hurriedly weighed half a catty of pork head meat, paid for it and left.
"I heard that there is no money to eat here? Give me something of everything!!" A fat old woman with slender eyebrows and triangular eyes came to the door of Yu Ji Braised Vegetables Store and ordered Yu Xiaocao arrogantly Weigh her.
"Hey! Isn't this the wife of Wang Laizi? This old woman loves to take advantage of her, and she is unreasonable, and loves to mess around. It's a good show!" The people who watched saw that they bought more or less what they had tasted before. After going back for a while, Nao didn't understand whether the tasting was free or not, and he still watched from a distance, until the fat old woman came over, and then gradually approached to watch the fun.
Yu Xiaocao felt that the fat woman should be in the same category as Mrs. Zhang from the look on her face. However, judging from her clothes, she is not the kind who is too poor to afford food. For those who are more picky, there must be a time to entertain guests, and during the Chinese New Year, there must be meat dishes for the family. In Yu Xiaocao's view, as long as they are not beggars on the street, they are her potential customers.
With a warm smile, she explained in a sweet voice: "Ma'am, it's a free tasting! Whichever dish you fancy, you can try a piece of it!!"
"One piece? What flavor can you taste with one piece?? Since it's free, don't pick it up like this." She said, picking up a toothpick in her fat hand, and ruthlessly towards the stewed vegetable fork on the plate. Bring four or five slices of braised pork.
Yu Xiaocao stopped her hand, pointed to the notice-like flyer on the wall, and said loudly: "Ma'am, if you come to participate in the free tasting event, we welcome you, and please abide by the rules of the event! We wrote It is very clear that you can only taste one piece of each dish, the purpose is to let every customer who is interested in our Yuji Braised Vegetables Restaurant taste the taste of the dishes. It is not to make you feel full!!"
"I have a big mouth, and I can't taste a piece of it!! Are you in business or not? You say that you can taste it for free, but you don't want to let people taste it. You treat us like two fools, right? If you can't afford it, don't engage in such hypocrisy. Damn!!" Smelling the tempting scent of stewed vegetables, Wang Laizi's mother-in-law couldn't help swallowing, holding the hand of the toothpick, trying hard to break free from Yu Xiaocao's shackles.
Yu Xiaocao's eyes were firm and her attitude was firm: "I still say the same thing, if you come to participate in the event, follow the rules!! Otherwise... we will ask the magistrate to judge whether we are deceiving the guests or you are making trouble for no reason. !!"
In the crowd, a voice sounded: "Wang Laizi, you are coming too? Hurry up and take your mother-in-law back, don't be ashamed of yourself here. The little girl said it, and it was also posted on the notice, and each person can only taste one piece. Have a look. What did your gluttonous mother-in-law do?"
The crippled woman's hand trembled when she was caught, her face changed immediately, she quickly put down the toothpick in her hand, and bowed her head like a quail. Wang Laizi is not bad, but he has two problems, one is to save face, and the other is to beat his wife. However, most of the time it's his wife who gets beaten! !
"What are you doing?" Cripple Wang squeezed into the crowd, his eyes were dark, like a wounded old wolf staring at the enemy.
The whole body of the fat woman trembled, and she whispered in a trembling voice: "No... I didn't do anything... I heard... There is a stewed vegetable shop here, thinking about buying some fresh food for you to go back to drink..."
肥婆娘知道自家男人最爱面子，要让他知道自己刚刚为了多吃两块肉，跟人家撕吧起来，回家等她的准是一顿痛揍！
Seeing this, Yu Xiaocao pointed to the leaflet on the wall and said, "Uncle, our Braised Vegetables shop is open for trial operation today, with free tasting and half-price activities. Come and taste it, and give us your opinion!"
When Wang Laizi was young, he had a good family and had studied for several years. He carefully read the activity rules on the wall twice, came to the window, tasted every dish carefully, and read it again. Looking at the price, he said: "The crispy roast duck, roast chicken and salted duck are similar to the taste of Zhenxiu Restaurant, and the price is a little bit cheaper. However, it is not something we ordinary people can afford. These stewed meat and bacon , the taste is also very unique...then weigh two catties of stewed elbow."
"Okay! Luxiang elbow is two catties, two hundred and sixty Wen per catty, two catties is five hundred and twenty Wen, I will give you half price, only two hundred and sixty Wen..." Yu Xiaocao winked at Auntie , Yu Caifeng quickly scaled, packed, and then waited to collect the money.
Cripple Wang glanced at his fat lady, frowned, and said, "Why are you so dazed? Hurry up and pay..."
The fat woman touched her purse and said with a sad face: "I... I didn't bring any money..." Just now she said to help him buy stewed vegetables and wine, but now she said that she has no money, what kind of food are you here to buy if you don't have money? The onlookers burst into laughter.
Wang Laizi looked at the woman even more gloomy, and gave her a hard look, and then said to Yu Xiaocao: "Little girl, leave these two catties of elbows alone for me, let's go back and get the money. Don't worry, my house is far away from here." Not far away, I will send you the money in a while."
