Yunniang's cooking skills are so good that Lu Lin seldom cooks now, and sometimes he will show off on a whim.
The family purchased a batch of sweet potatoes, and Lu Lin cooked sweet potato cakes.
The fried sweet potato pancakes have an attractive color, and when eaten hot, they are loose and delicious, which makes people unable to stop eating.
Because oil is needed to fry sweet potato cakes, Lu Lin doesn't fry many, but the children in the family still got one for each of them.
Chen Mai gnawed on the sweet potato cake, his eyes were bright.
"Brother Lin, this is delicious."
As Chen Mai said, he was about to go to the plate to get sweet potato cakes. Lu Lin knocked off Chen Mai's hand and said, "You have eaten three of them. If you eat any more, you will eat brother Qin Lang's share."
Qin Lang licked his lips and said, "Brother Lin, let Xiaomai eat."
Qin Lang was helping Lu Lin before, and when he came out after washing his hands, there was only one sweet potato pancake left.
Lu Lin glanced at Qin Lang and said, "Don't spoil him like this, and it's not good to eat too much."
Hearing this, Chen Xiaomai pushed the plate containing sweet potato cakes to Qin Lang.
Qin Lang took a bite, and his eyes lit up. "Brother Lin, it's delicious, you are really capable."
Lu Lin looked at Qin Lang's reaction and thought to himself: The people here are easy to kill, as long as there is food, food can stimulate people's enthusiasm for work.
Chen Xiaomi had already eaten two sweet potato cakes, one was in his mouth, and the other was in his hand. After Chen Mai pushed the sweet potato cakes on the plate to Qin Lang, Chen Xiaomi looked at Chen Xiaomi eagerly, Chen Xiaomi Helpless, he had to share half of the pie with Mai.
Mai Mai took half of the cake, and gnawed it very preciously.
Lu Lin looked at Chen Xiaomi's distressed look at his cake, which was a little funny.
Lu Lin went to Dawan Village. Many people in Dawan Village grew sweet potatoes and knew that Lu Lin came to buy sweet potatoes. The villagers were very happy.
Liu Guiyong looked at Lu Lin with some embarrassment, "Young Master Lin, I'm bothering you again." Liu Guiyong felt that Lu Lin might not want to eat potatoes at all, and that he bought this sweet potato was probably just out of morality.
People in Dawan Village are eager to sell sweet potatoes, and the price is not very high. Last year's sweet potatoes cost five cents and three catties, but this year they only cost one penny per catty.
Lu Lin spent eight taels of silver and directly bought eight thousand catties of sweet potatoes, and the people of Dawan Village said they would send the sweet potatoes to the town.
Lu Lin can already be regarded as a big customer, but many people in Dawan Village grow sweet potatoes, but Lu Lin's purchase of eight thousand catties is just a drop in the bucket.
When Chen Maimai saw that the people from Dawan Village were sending over a large number of sweet potatoes, she couldn't help but stare in surprise.
"Brother Qin Ming, there are so many sweet potatoes!"
Qin Ming nodded and said, "Yes!"
Chen Maimai asked with some doubts: "Are we going to stop eating in the future and just eat sweet potatoes?"
Qin Ming: "..." Probably not. The sweet potato tastes good, but if you eat too much of it, you will always get flatulence easily.
Lu Lin took the Qin Lang brothers and Chen Maijiang to dry some dried sweet potatoes. The dried sweet potatoes in Dawan Village were still very sweet, so the dried sweet potatoes were also very sweet. After the dried sweet potatoes were dried, everyone said it was delicious.
When Lu Lin and Qin Lang went to Liu Town to deliver goods, they sent a lot of dried sweet potatoes to Chen Xiaocai and Shen Chi.
Chen Xiaocai and the others eat more economically. Lu Lin told them several times that they should eat as much as they should, but they still eat very economically. Lu Lin asked Qin Yi to watch them, but Qin Yi was more economical.
Lu Lin had no choice but to find a woman for the three of them and ask her to cook for them every day.
Lu Lin planned to send more dried sweet potatoes to the two boys, so that when they were hungry, they could also have a toothpaste.
Taking advantage of the fine weather, Lu Lin dried several batches of sweet potatoes in the sun.
Chen Xiaomi chewed the dried sweet potatoes and said, "What are you doing with so many dried sweet potatoes? If you can't eat them, they will go bad."
"The business has come down a bit recently, and I plan to do some promotional activities."
Chen Xiaomi rolled his eyes and said, "Is it like the one you said buy one get one free?"
Lu Lin nodded and said, "Yes, that's the one."
Chen Xiaomi tilted his head. He heard from Lu Lin that there are many buy one get one free activities. However, most of the activities seem to be deceptive. For example, the signboards offer buy one get one free. A piece of clothing and a pair of socks. However, people always like to take advantage of it. It is better to have something to give than nothing!
"Do you want to send dried sweet potatoes?" Chen Xiaomi asked, holding up the dried sweet potatoes in his hand.
Lu Lin nodded and said, "Not bad."
Chen Xiaomi blinked, and said to himself: Buying a doll and giving away dried sweet potatoes, isn't that a bit strange! However, since Lu Lin is so smart, since Lu Lin did this, there is always a reason for Lu Lin.
Within a few days, the store launched an activity to buy school bags, buy dolls, and give away dried sweet potatoes.
Lu Lin made some small cloth bags of different colors, and put dried sweet potatoes in them. As long as you buy something in the store, you can give a bag away.
Dried sweet potatoes are not a rare item, but the people who delivered them are very happy. Many customers have a very high evaluation of dried sweet potatoes. When buying dolls, they will always ask the store to send more.
"Young Master Lin, that dried sweet potato tastes good, give me some." Yang Hengzhi said to Lu Lin.
Two days ago, Yang Heng bought another doll in the shop. Because he was a regular customer, Chen Xiaomi gave Yang Hengzhi a few more bags of dried sweet potatoes. Yang Hengzhi didn't take it seriously at first, but he didn't expect to take it back. With a dry taste, one person took all the gifts.
Lu Linman said helplessly: "Master Yang, those dried sweet potatoes are not for sale, they are gifts."
Yang Hengzhi winked at Lu Lin and said: "Young Master Lin, you come with me again. The treasures of your store are not for sale. Those who are destined will get them. This dried sweet potato is probably the same. Look at me. You know I'm destined."
Lu Lin smiled embarrassingly, "Young Master Yang said so, I'll give you some, but Young Master Yang, don't say it outside..."
Yang Hengzhi nodded and said, "I can save it."
After some of the dried sweet potatoes were sold as gifts, they were well received. Many people came to ask whether the gift was for retail sale or not. Lu Lin didn’t sell many dried sweet potatoes, so he told people that they were not for retail sale, which caused a lot of trouble. People return in vain, and of course there are some like Yang Hengzhi, who come to grind hard.
"Your dried sweet potatoes taste really good! I have eaten other dried sweet potatoes, but not so sweet." Yang Hengzhi said.
Lu Lin smiled and said, "I used small sweet potatoes from Dawan Village. The sweet potatoes grown there are relatively small, but they are quite sweet and taste good. If Young Master Yang likes them, you can buy some. .”
Yang Hengzhi said with a little interest: "Really? It sounds good. My grandma likes sweet potato porridge the most."
During this period of time, Lu Lin also recommended the small sweet potatoes in Dawan Village to many people, but I don't know if those people went to Dawan Village to buy sweet potatoes.
The problem of unsalable sweet potatoes in Dawan Village is not resolved. Many families in Dawan Village seem to have some problems during the winter. Lu Lin still sympathizes with the farmers here who face the loess and back to the sky.
More than ten days later, several villagers came to the gate of the courtyard where Chen Xiaomi lived.
Qin Lang looked at the villagers and said, "You guys have something to do!"
Liu Guiyong said nervously: "This is a villager from my Dawan Village. Thanks to Brother Lin, the sweet potatoes in our village are almost sold out. We are here to express our gratitude."
People in Dawan Village were still worrying about how to sell sweet potatoes.
Unexpectedly, some time ago, someone came to me and said that they wanted to buy sweet potatoes.
At first, the villagers were afraid that the sweet potatoes would be small and the customers would be dissatisfied, but they didn't expect these people to like the small ones. Later, more and more people came.
It was an accident for one person, but when people kept asking about the sweet potatoes in their village, the villagers felt that something was wrong.
After inquiring, Liu Guiyong found out that it turned out to be a Huaxia store that sold dolls and gave away dried sweet potatoes. Many people thought it was good to eat, but they couldn't buy sweet potatoes, so they went directly to Dawan Village to buy sweet potatoes.
More and more people came, and the problem of unsalable sweet potatoes in the village was solved. Many villagers were very grateful to Lu Lin. After all, they felt that Lu Lin could not be so helpless, so they came to give Lu Lin some things. .
Looking at the mushrooms, yams, and bamboo shoots brought by the villagers, Chen Xiaomi felt very happy. There are many of these things in the mountains, but he doesn't go to the mountains recently, so if he wants to eat, he buys them all.
"Uncle Liu, you are too polite." Chen Xiaomi said with a smile.
"Where, where." Liu Guiyong introduced to Chen Xiaomi: "This is the Lizheng of our Dawan Village."
Chen Xiaomi glanced at the middle-aged man beside Liu Guiyong, and said, "So it's Li Zheng, I'm sorry."
Liu Tian quickly returned the gift and said, "Brother Xiaomi, you are too polite, thanks to you and Brother Lin, otherwise the sweet potato in our village would have rotted in the warehouse."
Chen Xiaomi quickly waved her hand and said, "It's a little effort, you're welcome."
Zhang Cheng, Lizheng in the village, saw that his eyes were not eyes, and his nose was not nose, and felt that he had spoiled the atmosphere of the village. Chen Xiaomi originally thought that Lizheng was like this, but suddenly met a very polite man Lizheng, Chen Xiaomi was not used to it.
Liu Guiyong looked at Chen Xiaomi's round belly, and said, "Brother Xiaomi, you are not too young!"
Chen Xiaomi rubbed her stomach and said, "It's been a few months. With such a guy, I can't stretch my hands and feet. I have to give birth quickly."
Liu Guiyong smiled and said, "Brother Xiaomi was joking, you should rest now..."
Chen Xiaomi puffed her cheeks and said, "I'm still resting, I'm much fatter."
Every time Lu Lin saw him doing heavy work, he would make a fuss. It was really unreasonable. The women in this village were pregnant, so they still had to work.
Chen Xiaomi collected the things and asked Chen Mai to bring out some dried sweet potatoes to entertain people.
Liu Guiyong and others have heard a lot recently that they have tried all the sweet potato fries sold by Huaxia Commercial Bank.
"Brother Xiaomi, your sweet potato fries are really good!"
Chen Xiaomi said proudly: "It should be okay. Many customers like it. Come and ask us if we sell it for retail. However, ours is a gift, not for retail."
The sweet potato fries are just a gimmick to the store. Sweet potatoes are not a rare thing. It is difficult to make a lot of money by selling this thing. Lu Lin doesn't expect to make money from this thing, so there is no cost this matter.
Liu Guiyong and the others were eating dried sweet potatoes, and everyone thought that sweet potatoes were not easy to sell. Maybe they could consider selling a batch of finished dried sweet potatoes, but Chen Xiaomi first thought of dried sweet potatoes. I don’t know if they sell dried sweet potatoes. Influence Chen Xiaomi.
When Liu Guiyong mentioned it to Chen Xiaomi, Chen Xiaomi generously said that it doesn't matter.
Dried sweet potatoes are just a promotional tool, there can be other things without this.
