In the past few days, Pei Xiu has been paying attention to her soybean sprouts and mung bean sprouts. Watching them grow day by day, the germs are getting longer and longer, she knows that she has succeeded. Today, I plan to stir-fry the soybean sprouts, put a few leeks, and give the family a taste.
Everyone hadn't eaten fresh vegetables for a long time. The bean sprouts were just served on the table in the evening. At first, a few children were curious about what it was, so they didn't put down chopsticks very often. After taking the first bite, the chopsticks couldn't stop at all. Don't say that several children can't stop chopsticks, Pei Xiu feels refreshing and tender, and regrets not frying more.
She told Zhou Cheng to let him go to the town tomorrow and bring the mung bean sprouts from the mung bean together with the soybean sprouts to the shopkeeper in Zuixianglou to see if he accepts the recipe. Try it twice and you will be able to do it, at most you will only do the first one or two times of business, it is better to sell directly.
Zhou Cheng agreed. Anyway, he did what his wife said. Pei Xiu asked him to come back and buy two kilograms of pork. The temperature has been low recently. You can buy two kilograms of dumplings filled with leeks and pork. You can freeze them one by one in the yard. When you wake up in the morning, you can cook a pot for breakfast. Not to mention how convenient it is.
The shopkeeper of Zuixiang Building was overjoyed to see Zhou Chengcheng today. He gave those leeks to the big households in the city before, and people praised them a lot. They all asked when it was still available, and he wanted to buy it, but he didn't dare to promise, so he could only vaguely deal with it.
Now I see Zhou Cheng coming again with a basket, thinking it's leeks again, I'm very happy, after all, the leeks will grow again after cutting one crop, and it's winter now, there's not a bit of green everywhere, not to mention the vegetable. I just didn't expect it to be fresh vegetables that I haven't seen before, which is a bit strange.
The shopkeeper invited Zhou Cheng into the back room, looked at the bean sprouts carefully, and felt that it was really fresh, so refreshing, so he stroked his beard and asked Zhou Cheng how to sell it.
He is also a good person, so how could he suffer a loss? He asked the shopkeeper to take a handful first, and then the kitchen chef would fry it and send it over, try it out and then discuss it later. The shopkeeper was also curious and took a bite. It is not too late to talk about the price after eating it. It would be better if it can be supplied for a long time.
Taking advantage of the waiting time, the shopkeeper wanted to find out what it was called, maybe he could know it from the name. How could Zhou Cheng make him wish, just let the shopkeeper taste it.
The more he didn't want to talk about it, the more the shopkeeper wanted to know. Luckily, the food was served quickly, and we didn't have to wait too long.
The shopkeeper took a bite, his eyes lit up, it was tender and refreshing, he had never eaten such a tender dish in winter, the second brother was still waiting by the side, seeing that the shopkeeper was satisfied with the food, he took the opportunity to ask, ''The shopkeeper, the back kitchen The master asked what kind of dish this is, why is it so tender, is it also available in winter? ''
The shopkeeper didn't notice that Xiao Er didn't leave just now, and waved him to go out first.
''Master Wednesday can say it this time. '' The shopkeeper didn't stop his chopsticks and continued to hold them, mainly because he hadn't eaten fresh vegetables since the beginning of winter.
Zhou Cheng clasped his fists, bowed and sat down again: ''Excuse me, shopkeeper, this is called silver needle dish. My daughter-in-law made it, and it can be mass-produced. Does the shopkeeper want to buy ready-made or formula? ''
The shopkeeper was surprised, '' There is a recipe for this dish, isn't it grown? ''
Zhou Cheng shook his head, '' The shopkeeper only said whether he wanted the formula or the finished product. ''
The shopkeeper thought about it and said: ''How do you plan to sell the finished product and the formula? ''
Pei Xiu discussed with Zhou Cheng last night how to sell the stock and how to sell the formula. Zhou Cheng said directly: ''The ready-made silver needle vegetables are ten cents a pound in winter, and the price will be reduced depending on the situation after the winter. Twenty taels of the recipe can be bought out, but I can't interfere with my selling stock, and I promise not to sell stock in town. ''
The shopkeeper couldn't figure out how to grow vegetables that require recipes in winter. He was also curious, so he simply said that he would buy them out at 22 taels.
After the two parties wrote the contract, the shopkeeper had been dealing with Zhou Cheng for many years, and he believed that he was a man, so he paid first.
Zhou Cheng received the money and directly told him how the bean sprouts came out. The shopkeeper stared, couldn't believe it was that simple? Feeling a little remorse in his heart, he sent Zhou Cheng away with an unspeakable expression.
Thinking in my heart, how can I not lose. It suddenly occurred to me that I sent leeks to the big families in the town last time. Can I also send bean sprouts this time? I can also sell recipes. One family sells 12 taels. The shopkeeper stroked his beard and was very satisfied with his brain. As he got older, his brain still works well.
As for what the wealthy households do with the formula, it is none of his business. At least in addition to the convenience of eating at home, they can also use the formula to curry favor with their boss or give it to friends. It won't be a loss anyway.
By the way, I also bought pork and came back to make dumplings for Pei Xiu. When buying pork, Butcher Zhang was very enthusiastic. He kept inquiring about him and his wife's family. He was very embarrassed and wanted to ask Pei Xiu to adjust.
Zhou Cheng didn't say much, he just asked to see. It wasn't his turn to talk about this, so he would just go back and tell his daughter-in-law.
When he came back, she found that Pei Xiu was making bean sprouts in the kitchen again. This time, she soaked a lot of soybeans and mung beans. When she saw Zhou Cheng coming back, she hurriedly told him to order two large wooden barrels with his second brother.
Zhou Chengcheng didn't have time to tell her about selling the formula, so he was sent out again. On the way back, he met the village head again. The village head took Zhou Cheng and said that the river was frozen. He saw fish swimming under the river, and they were quite large. It was estimated that the upper reaches had not yet frozen, and it was too cold. Now, the fish are hiding under the ice below.
He thought that Zhou Chengwu was one of the most powerful people in the village, and wanted to ask him to help cut the ice. He arranged for the villagers to use nets to catch a few nets of fish. The opportunity was rare because the water in the upstream river was too deep. No one dared to go, and the fish in the middle of the river grew bigger and bigger, and no one caught them. This opportunity was rare. He wanted to give it a try and let Zhou Cheng help him to stay safe.
If it works, maybe they can do it once a year, and it can also benefit the villagers.
Zhou Cheng hadn't tried it, and he didn't know if it was feasible. First, he told the village chief that he could try to organize the day after tomorrow, and let him inform him first, so that each household would provide a strong labor force. What else to do will be discussed later.
When he discussed with the village chief what to prepare, it was getting late, and it was getting darker every day in winter. Everyone rushed to have dinner before dark. Who is willing to light oil lamps, the entire village now only has the village chief's family, and Zhou Fuzi's family light the oil lamps when it is dark.
He quickened his pace, and when he hurried home, the children had all finished eating and were writing in the yard. Pei Xiu stipulated that they should practice martial arts in the morning and read in the evening. Every day before going to bed, you must write all the words
