Chapter 26 Inquiry
Lin Yuzhu was concerned about the price and asked, "What about the price?"
Lin Yushu grinned and said, "A pig that costs twenty cents a pig is in the water. I specifically remind them not to throw anything away. Today I brought back a lot of pig intestines. The owners of meat stalls can still sell some of them, but this pig intestine and pig lungs are particularly difficult to sell."
Lin Laoshi took advantage of the night to enter the yard, and the whole family rushed forward to greet him.
After walking for a whole afternoon, Lin Laoshi was very tired. He put down the food prepared by Zhang Bihua and brought it to Lin Laoshi.
Lin Laoshi took two bites and said, "It's sold out. I sold it for more than 300 cents today. But I didn't sell it for ten cents. Eight cents per pound was bought by a big customer. By the way, Yuzhu, two restaurants in the county town came to ask if they could sell it to them at a cheap price. They have been buying goods for a long time, and they get more than ten pounds each time."
Lin Yuzhu never thought about taking the wholesale path, but then she thought, wholesale is good. Although wholesale doesn’t make much money, people don’t work that hard, and they don’t plan to ask outsiders to help. They spend a lot of time cleaning pig intestines. Thinking of this, she looked at Lin Yushu and said, “Brother, go to these two restaurants first. You can buy ten kilograms at a time. If you buy ten kilograms at a time, you won’t talk about the price below this. It’s better if you can talk about nine kilograms per kilogram.”
Lin Yushu felt more and more that this business could be done, and said happily: "Otherwise, I will go to the capital city tomorrow and I will go to restaurants and taverns."
Lin Laoshi had a meal and rested for a while and became energetic again. Lin Yushu quickly sorted the pigs he took back, washed the pig livers and put them in a pot, and put the remaining pig intestines in the yard for the time being.
Lin Yuzhu's responsibility is to season, add braised ingredients to the pot at any time and observe the heat.
Li He'er didn't come back and the family didn't wait. She was busy until midnight before she finished her entire life.
A few large baskets were placed in the main hall, and Lin Yuzhu was so sleepy that she went to bed.
She had to get up early the next day to cut the braised dishes.
The next day, Lin Yuzhu got up early, arranged the cutting board and started cutting the braised pig offals. The pigs with so many pigs were probably eighty or ninety kilograms in total. Except for the pig intestine brought back by Lin Yushu, which was not washed and the pig's waist was not braised, everything else was in the basket.
The chopped pig offals were put into the wooden barrel, and the extra ones were placed in a clean cloth bag.
She did not call Zhang Bihua and the others to get up. The three of them were tired than her yesterday, and Li He'er was less helping. She could do more at home and she would do more. She recovered from her health and didn't feel anything strange now.
When she was about to cut, Zhang Bihua left the house in a hurry and said anxiously: "Look, I've overslept."
As a result, it turned out that the pigs in the basket had been cut into the water.
Lin Yushu and Lin Laoshi did not drive the ox cart into the city today, but carried a basket on their back and took a bag of pigs to the city.
Zhang Bihua finished the breakfast and put on An An and Pingping's clothes before he breathed a sigh of relief. He gave Lin Yuzhu the twenty cents in his arms and said, "I forgot to give you money last night. This is the pig miscellaneous money sold last night. You will collect it for the time being. This time you will take care of the accounts."
Lin Yuzhu took the money and put it in the bamboo basket. Anyway, she would also give it to Zhang Bihua and Li Heer in the end. It doesn’t matter who cares about the money.
When Li He'er came back, Zhang Bihua had already gone to the river with a basket on her back. Li He'er, who had a dusty face, began to apologize as soon as she entered the house: "My mother pulled me away yesterday, but I was so anxious that my family was very busy."
Last night she didn't even sleep well, and all she was thinking about was to come back to help.
This morning, no matter how her family members tried to keep her, she would force her to come back. There were a lot of things at home. Lin Yuzhu was still in the confinement period and could not touch the cold water.
An An and Pingping had already pounced on Li He'er's arms, shouting that they were thinking of Li He'er.
Li He'er touched the heads of the two children, looked at the big shoji on the table and said, "Have you done a lot of pig miscellaneous sales?"
Lin Yuzhu signaled Li He'er to bake his hands, and said yesterday after saying, "Dad sold it for more than 300 cents. There are two restaurants in the county town who want to buy our pigs. My brother meant to go to Fucheng today to ask if those restaurants are needed. If you want it, we will send them to the restaurant directly."
Li He'er roasted her hands and felt warmer and went to the riverside.
Lin Yuzhu was at ease with her four children at home.
And there are obviously more people in the village who are inquiring about the news today.
Last night, Lin Baishi's family ate pig offals braised by Lin Yuzhu, and the whole family praised it.
Without the Lin family’s special promotion, everyone in the village knows that the pigs braised by the Lin family are delicious in the water.
The villagers were a little moved, such as Zhu Guihua.
After carefully inquiring about the current situation of the Lin family with Tang Furong, she decided to follow the Lin family as soon as possible this time.
While I was selling candied haws in the county town, I went to the meat stall owner to buy pigs and water. As a result, I asked all the vegetables markets, and all the meat stall owners said that pigs and water were sold.
This made Zhu Guihua very anxious. She knew that it must have been bought by the Lin family. It seemed that buying pigs from the county town would not work.
The idea was to come to the Fucheng again and asked the man at home to go to the Fucheng to ask, and he had to buy a pig to come back.
Lin Yuzhu naturally didn't know about these things, and she was dealing with the villagers at this moment.
Everyone has made money selling candied haws recently. Although they don’t have much, they have lived a lot better than before. So many curious people in the village came to buy half a pound and went back to taste it.
Fortunately, Lin Yuzhu kept a few kilograms at home, just to prevent someone from buying them in the village. So your family’s half kilograms and hers half kilograms of pig miscellaneous food were sold out in an instant.
Anyone who has eaten it is praised for its deliciousness, and some people have tentatively asked how to cook it. Lin Yuzhu is perfunctory and said it is braised. As for what spices are used, it must not be said.
She had already planned to ask Lin Yushu to buy some spices in the Fucheng City. She had to buy some spices in several pharmacies. Lin Laoshi bought a few other spices in the county.
In short, it is impossible for people to know what spices she uses at home. This is a commercial secret, and it is impossible for others to follow the trend to learn.
Even if someone has braised it, she promises that the taste is not as good as hers.
Braised dishes are different from making candied haws. The taste of candied haws is single, and there is only the difference between making good and making bad. The taste of braised dishes is ever-changing. She still remembers that she always bought various braised dishes in the past, but the taste of each store is different.
Later, she spent a lot of effort to find the recipe from the best ones, and she also improved it to have the current taste.
