The next day at the hour of Yin, which was just after three o'clock, the Jiang family got up and started working.
They moved quietly for fear of disturbing the guests who were staying overnight, but Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng were so smart that they woke up as soon as they got up.
Yang Sheng looked at the sky outside. So early
Looking into the yard, I saw four or five figures busy in the kitchen under the warm yellow light, and the aroma of spicy soup and oil-fried steamed buns wafted in the wind.
"Comparable to our Qilin Guard." Yang Sheng muttered when he noticed that Shen Fengming had also woken up. He gets up earlier than the chicken and sleeps later than the dog.
At the hour of Mao, just as Jiang Yunzhu had set up her stall, three unexpected customers arrived.
She knew Deputy General Zhao, but she had never seen the two deputy generals beside him.
"Why did the guests come so early today?" she asked in surprise. In the past few days, Deputy General Zhao always waited until noon to come.
"Something happened at the mine today... Hey, I forgot to bring you your clay pot." Deputy General Zhao didn't say what it was specifically about. When he saw the big steaming clay pot in front of Jiang Yunzhu's stall, he suddenly remembered and said.
"It's okay. Just take it down for me whenever it's convenient for the customer." Jiang Yunzhu said.
"You two are the same. When I brought you porridge, you didn't even think about taking the casserole away." Deputy General Zhao complained to the two people beside him.
"I was thinking about coming here. I wanted to have another bowl of beef porridge today and bring the casserole down with me. But who would have thought that General Wang would be busy taking inventory of the warehouse in the middle of the night, and I forgot about it." The thin deputy general named Li slapped his head and said.
"What are you doing? Why are you taking inventory of the warehouse?" asked the dark-faced deputy general named Bao.
"Who knows?" said Lieutenant General Li.
"It's none of our business. Just drink the porridge. I didn't even have enough porridge yesterday." Lieutenant General Bao rubbed his hands.
"Three bowls, beef porridge." Deputy General Zhao thought about it, but still couldn't remember the full name of the beef porridge, so he just said beef porridge.
"Guest, yesterday you had beef porridge with raw boiled beef, today I'm going to prepare beef porridge with fried egg, would you like to..."
Before Jiang Yunzhu finished speaking, Deputy General Bao said, "Let's have the scrambled egg beef porridge. I heard there's eggs in it. It must be better than yesterday's."
"That's all you can achieve." Upon hearing this, Lieutenant General Li laughed.
Chen who was standing next to them couldn't help laughing. She found that although these three men looked fierce, they were not as domineering as other officials. Instead, they were quite interesting.
Jiang Yunzhu skillfully prepared the scrambled egg and beef porridge.
Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng ate some of the beef bought yesterday. Fortunately, the three of them came early today, otherwise they might not be able to eat the beef porridge.
She also noticed one thing. The thin deputy general just said that General Wang was taking inventory of the warehouse in the middle of the night
General Wang, the highest-ranking garrison here is a general, and I heard his surname is Wang.
He took inventory of the warehouse at midnight...
There was too little information and Jiang Yunzhu had no idea, but she suddenly thought of mines and iron ores. Iron was a very sensitive and important thing in this era of cold weapons.
So, did Shen Fengming come here for the iron mine
Jiang Yunzhu felt like she had grasped something.
She was thinking in her mind, but her hands were moving quickly. Soon, three bowls of scrambled egg and beef porridge were ready.
There were still three casseroles, bubbling with activity.
"I said this one with egg will definitely taste better than yesterday's!" said Lieutenant General Bao, pointing at the porridge in the casserole.
"You haven't tasted it yet, how do you know?" Lieutenant General Li seemed to particularly enjoy teasing him and asked immediately.
"Why bother trying it? You'll know after you see it." Deputy General Bao curled his lips, looking like he was saying, "You are ignorant, I don't know you."
Today's beef porridge with scrambled egg has eggs added to it. The golden egg flowers are hidden in the smooth beef and crystal clear rice porridge. It looks much more sumptuous than yesterday.
"Let me try it." Deputy General Zhao took a bite and it was delicious!
The others didn't bother to talk anymore and each picked up a spoon to drink the porridge.
I don’t know how Jiang Yunzhu cooked it, but the eggs were tender and smooth, the beef was fragrant, and even the white rice porridge seemed to have become delicious.
A casserole of porridge seemed to be scrambling to get into their stomachs.
After a while, the three of them finished all the porridge and patted their stomachs comfortably.
"It's delicious. Boss, are you still selling it at noon?" asked Lieutenant General Bao. If they were still selling it, he would still come over to eat.
"Sorry, sir, we won't be open for lunch." Before Deputy General Bao showed a disappointed expression, Jiang Yunzhu changed the subject and said, "But we can deliver it to the mountain or the foot of the mountain."
"What do you mean?" Deputy General Zhao was curious.
Even Chen looked at Jiang Yunzhu. What was her daughter saying
In fact, yesterday when Deputy General Zhao said he wanted to pack up two servings of beef porridge, Jiang Yunzhu had this idea. Take-out is just right for the current situation.
It’s too hard to keep selling breakfast. I’ll have to make a transition sooner or later.
In the future, she wants to do takeout for lunch and dinner, which will be working meals with one meat and one vegetable, two meat and one vegetable, or two meat and two vegetables. Of course, she can also order stir-fried dishes if she pays more.
We now sell breakfast, and our target group is the miners in the mountains.
The take-out service is mainly aimed at the soldiers and craftsmen on the mountain who have higher monthly salaries.
She had heard from Jiang Cheng before that there was a canteen on the mountain for the garrison and craftsmen, and it was free. Although Jiang Yunzhu had never been there, she could tell from the soldiers and Deputy General Zhao at the market that they would not eat the free food, but would often come down the mountain to eat the food that cost money, which showed that the free food was probably not very good.
This is the market, and it is a market with great potential.
A bowl of spicy soup with oil and steamed buns only costs three cents, but how much can a box of work lunch sell for, and how much does a small stir-fry sell for? The price has doubled, and the profit has naturally increased.
And most importantly, you don’t need to spend money to set up a store to do takeout.
Jiang Yunzhu told Deputy General Zhao about her idea. They could order dishes or a set meal and agree on a time. They would then deliver the meal to the designated place at noon.
Deputy General Zhao was very surprised to hear this, "Is this possible?"
"Can you really order dishes? I want to eat fried pork intestines. I've been wanting to eat it for several days. I believe in your cooking skills, girl." Lieutenant General Bao hurriedly said.
"Look at the dish you want to eat..." Lieutenant General Li looked disgusted, then asked Jiang Yunzhu eagerly, "Can you cook fish? Any fish will do. What we cook in our kitchen is also called fish." Lieutenant General Li felt sorry for himself when he thought of it.
The fish cooked in the cafeteria was fishy and woody, and even cats wouldn't eat it. He was such a fish lover, and it was so sad.
Jiang Yunzhu raised her eyebrows. What a coincidence, her best skill was cooking fish.
"You two." Deputy General Zhao glared at him angrily. What are you fighting for? He hasn't ordered yet!
"What would you like to eat, sir?" Jiang Yunzhu asked him.
Deputy General Zhao actually wanted to eat fish and braised pork intestines, and when Deputy General Bao and the others mentioned it, his mouth was watering. But they had already ordered, so he couldn't order anything else.
Unable to think of anything for a moment, he simply took out a piece of silver and handed it to Jiang Yunzhu, saying, "It doesn't matter what dish it is, just make sure it's spicy. The spicier the better." He liked spicy food, but the food in the cafeteria was not flavorful enough.
"Okay." Jiang Yunzhu took the silver, weighed it, and found it was about half an ounce. "I'll bring the food to you at noon and give you the rest of the money." She hadn't decided what dish to cook for him yet. She had to go to the town to see what ingredients were available before deciding. Naturally, she couldn't set a price now.
"What are you looking for? Leave it here with you first. I will have to buy food from you later. These are all I have with me today. Eat them first and I will give them to you after you finish eating." Deputy General Zhao said indifferently. He was not afraid that Jiang Yunzhu would run away.
Besides, even if she ran away, it would only be half a tael of silver, which is nothing at all.
With him taking the lead, Lieutenant General Li and Lieutenant General Bao both took out a piece of silver and handed it to Jiang Yunzhu, saying similar things to him.
Jiang Yunzhu accepted them one by one, made a note of which piece of silver belonged to whom, and prepared to make an account book when she got home to avoid making any mistakes.
After they left, Chen stared at the three pieces of silver in a daze. She got nearly two taels of silver just like that? Who would believe it if she told anyone else
