Today is the first day to set up a stall in the city. The capital for this business was obtained by Guan Chi going up the mountain to the north and hunting a wild boar.
With the money exchanged, I bought white rice, glutinous rice, white noodles, pork, and a few earthenware pots, including two small pots, a special pan for frying dumplings, and a large pot for boiling white porridge.
But it cost a sum of money, and all the money from the wild boar was invested.
So I went out today and tried to set up a stall on the first day. The whole family was very nervous.
I don’t know whether I can sell it or not.
I feel relieved now.
Mrs. Rong shouted and came in to look at Ye Lulu. She was so excited that she didn't know what to do. Her face turned red. She praised her affectionately several times and went out to cook again.
What Guan Lao Daddy, Guan Chibei and Ye Lulu were eating during the day was the food prepared by Aunt Rong before setting off in the morning. There was nothing they could do about it, Ye Lulu was still in confinement, and neither Guan Lao Daddy nor Guan Chibei were eating. When it comes to cooking for the conference, Dad Guan only knows how to heat up the food.
Tonight I made some leftover ingredients from the day's stall.
There were just three big ribs, and with enough ingredients, not to mention the rich bean paste, potatoes and rapeseed were added to it, and the pot of stewed ribs was already very fragrant.
There are still about twenty white flour dumplings left. Pan-fried dumplings are too spicy, and the clear soup dumplings are just right with the rich braised pork ribs!
The staple food was not enough, so she quickly steamed a pot of sweet potato and white rice. Aunt Rong was so generous that she wanted to celebrate the first day of setting up a stall.
For the other four pieces of fish, Ye Lulu opened a small stove and cooked a bowl of extremely soft fish porridge. Ye Lulu liked the fish meat that was not fishy and enjoyed the drink very much.
While the housekeeper was having dinner, Aunt Rong couldn't stop and continued: "Oh, there is really a lot of business on the pier. Many big ships docked, and the sailors who came down. I saw many teams today. They came to the pier in different places. They were eating and drinking at the stall! We received a group of people, about 20 crew members, all young men, and they were casual about ordering food. When a group of people came down, the food at the stall sold for a fortune. "
"We also saw that many stalls are very prosperous! Those selling dry food and meat cakes, my God, those people have been doing business at the dock for so many days, and they are so prosperous every day, how much money do they earn... "
"Our stall is not very popular today." When he said this, Dad Guan's face tightened.
In fact, it is true that since they are new stalls, their business will not explode as soon as they arrive. People still need to gradually increase their acceptance. Secondly, they sell fresh food, which many people have never seen before and will be daunted by.
However, Aunt Rong still had a clear mind and continued: "After all, it is also the first day. Although the stall's business is not the hottest, there are always people coming to help. I am thinking that there must be a profit! This is enough!"
The housekeeper finished the dinner with great excitement, and even a series of carrot heads who had played wildly during the day were infected by the atmosphere and ran around in the yard.
After cleaning up, Aunt Rong tightly held the basket of money she brought with her today and entered Ye Lulu's room.
Behind him, Dad Guan and Brother Guan were all following. Even the men didn't care about Ye Lulu's confinement. Anyway, Ye Lulu was neatly dressed, and all the housekeeper's women were there, including Guan Chibei himself.
The people in the mountains really didn't care that much, and the whole family rushed into Ye Lulu's house.
Because it’s time to count the money!
