"The cheapest grain is only four cents per pound, yes, but it's black noodles," Aunt Rong said calmly, not deterred, "But the bottom of my porridge is already pure. White rice porridge, can it compare?"
Ye Lulun had calculated people's current expenses and had already guessed that someone would explode. She thought it was very expensive, so she taught Aunt Rong how to deal with it in advance.
"A pound of white rice costs nine cents. Although it takes less rice to make porridge, my family's porridge takes a long time to cook. It took me more than an hour this morning before I came to the stall. The rice has melted, and there is no need to add water. It’s a lot, as you can see, this porridge is spongy and dense, and it definitely uses a lot of rice. And as you can see, our bowl is a little bigger than an ordinary sea bowl. A bowl of pure rice porridge costs two cents. It’s not expensive anymore.”
The person standing at the front pursed his lips. Two cents for a bowl of pure white rice porridge was indeed not expensive, and they agreed. It's just that the price of the other ingredients is too expensive. It's just porridge, and I'm not very hungry. Who would want to eat a bowl of porridge at such an expensive price
In fact, the price of white rice porridge is really not expensive.
Ye Lulun had specially set it up to lower the price of a serving of white rice porridge so that everyone could at least accept a bowl of white rice porridge. They could sell the white porridge at a guaranteed price.
Aunt Rong continued: "It's not expensive to add ingredients. We are here to do business, not to drive away customers, so we have added them all up. Look, although groceries are groceries, pork liver and pig intestines are no worse than meat." . You can add four slices of pork liver for a penny, and the whole bowl of porridge is rich. Is it expensive? Moreover, pork liver is rich in blood and nutrients. It is suitable for adults, children, men and children. It is very replenishing the body and strength. I went here to buy it. Pork liver is cheaper than here combined, but can you spend three to five cents to buy a whole pair of pork liver every time?"
"Pork intestines are delicious, some people like them very much, and they are also meat. Women don't know how difficult it is to wash pig intestines. Although we have to pay an extra penny here, they are only four small pieces and they can be washed cleanly. Yes, just drink a bowl of porridge and walk away quickly, isn’t it worth it?”
"Many people may think that chicken racks and fish bones are not cost-effective, but why don't you see that there is a lot of meat on them! For the sake of the taste of the porridge, we will not shave the meat cleanly."
"As for other things, fish, chicken, and minced meat are all real meat. Shouldn't we add more money? Again, add the ingredients and cook them together with the porridge base. The resulting porridge will be delicious, nutritious, and very hungry. We The wooden bowl at home is really big, you can’t see it? Besides, it’s so cold and it’s so cold at the pier, so why isn’t it suitable?”
Aunt Rong didn't give in at all, and she finished counting every sentence.
But most people still disagree with the latter content, because a bowl of raw porridge is too expensive.
After hearing this, some women asked with gleaming eyes: "Is pork liver really so nourishing?"
People really haven’t heard about the function of groceries. They only know that offal is meat and it’s cheaper, so they buy groceries to get the smell of meat.
"Of course, pig liver replenishes blood, and it's best if there are women and children at home." Mrs. Rong replied according to what Ye Lulu told her, and then said: "The raw porridge with added ingredients is cooked on the spot, which is not only warm. It's so hot that you can eat a bowl here without feeling hungry. Adding different ingredients can provide different nutrients and it tastes good. What's not good about it?"
"The big pancake next door is stuffed with minced meat, which is only three pennies each!"
"Most braised meat only costs two cents..."
"No one has bought this yet. How can you prove that your porridge tastes good?"
"I have never heard of or tasted anything like this... I can try the raw porridge, but the price is really too expensive."
Everyone started talking among themselves.
