Su Lele had previously made some five-spice powder, slightly spicy sauce and spicy sauce. While the fish balls were still hot, she tried making three flavors of fish balls: five-spice, soy sauce and spicy.
As soon as it was finished, I saw my grandfather, mother, and sister-in-law standing nearby waiting to eat. My grandfather was almost drooling, alas! Everyone is a foodie!
"Come, let's try the taste." Su Lele handed a small bamboo stick to his family and the servants.
"The Q elasticity is firm and elastic, and the tooth elasticity is refreshing!"
“It’s spicy and leaves your lips fragrant!”
“Not fishy or woody, but rich in soy sauce flavor!”
“I like spicy food, it’s spicy and refreshing!”
“The spicy flavor is too spicy and the sauce flavor is just right.”
At this time, my grandfather said, "I love all three flavors!"
Su Dong really responded to that sentence: Children make choices, of course adults want everything.
I left some of the fish balls for my fourth sister, my father, and my eldest brother. He ordered his servants to put the rest, a large plate full of fish balls, into the icehouse for sale tomorrow.
In the evening, the Su family gathered in the yard outside the dining room, eating spicy crabs, braised shrimps, fish stew, braised pork, fish ball soup, and potatoes in a griddle. They were so happy.
Su Qinghe, who is usually gentle and gentle, is eating spicy crab with his father Su Dong. The meat is tender and the fragrant taste is endless.
"Second sister is still amazing. The seafood that no one in the capital likes to eat has become a delicacy in your hands. The fish balls will definitely be a big hit in the future." The eldest brother Su Yixing said as he scooped a bowl of fish ball soup for his wife Li Chuyun.
"How to price fish balls?" Every time a new product is released, Su Lele is very willing to discuss it with her family, and everyone can participate, regardless of seniority.
"Eight cents per pound of sea fish is not expensive, but the workmanship is complicated and we can't sell it too cheaply."
"Yes, I saw Dali beating the fish there in the afternoon. It was quite laborious."
"How about 1 penny a piece?" Su Qinghe looked at everyone.
"Okay." The fish eggs made by Su Lele are quite large, which is suitable for buying them for 1 penny.
"Tomorrow I plan to go to Zhuangzi again. Grandpa, do you want to go with me tomorrow? Then we can go to the mountains to have a look."
"Okay, it's been a long time since I went to play in the mountains." With his granddaughter, he has meat to eat, and those old men have recently become envious of him for having a clever granddaughter.
"Second sister, can I follow you?"
Before Su Lele responded, her mother immediately refused. Did she think she didn't know about her youngest daughter's desire to skip class?
On the second day, after breakfast, Su Lele told his servants: Whenever customers come to buy potato chips, remember to remind them that the subsequent potato chips will no longer be sold. You can recommend new fish eggs to them, and each household will buy them every day. Purchase limit is 100 pieces.
Su Lele will carry out the purchase restriction strategy to the end, with the purpose of opening up stores in the future so that more people can taste it.
The grandfather and grandson walked to the door of the front yard and met the old Duke of Zhenguo who was striding like a meteor.
"Where are you two, grandson and grandson? Did Old Man Su leave those potato chips for me? My unfilial grandson ate the only bag of potato chips I had left, and I don't know which bastard pretended to be my town yesterday. I’m here to buy potato chips in the name of the Duke’s Mansion.”
At this time, the Lengfeng guard who was in the Second Prince's Mansion sneezed loudly and loudly: Is someone thinking about me?
Are you sure you're not scolding?
"I've left it. I've left the fruit peel and fish balls for you. We're going to go shopping on Zhuangzi. You can go in by yourself." After saying that, he prepared to get on the carriage.
"I'm going to follow you too. Oh my, I haven't been to the countryside for a long time. Let's go shopping together and relax. I've been so arrogant lately!"
Eventually the twosome turned into a threesome.
"Lele, can you be my granddaughter? You are such an ingenious and thoughtful little lady."
He couldn't wait to take her back home. He just heard from Old Man Su about the new fish balls: they are refreshing and springy on the teeth, leaving a fragrance on the lips and teeth.
Half an hour later, the three of them arrived at Zhuangzi and asked Uncle Chen to go to Liu Shitou's house to find him in Zhuangzi.
"Miss Su, my family and Liu Shan's family have listened to your reminders and teachings and have begun to open up wasteland. Most families in the village plan to follow us in planting soil yams. Fortunately, both of our families have left seeds, which are enough for the village to plant."
Liu Shitou is still very grateful to Su Lele until now, and he obeys Su Lele's words.
Su Lele felt relieved and asked Liu Shitou to take them for a walk around the back mountain. There are many treasures in the mountains, and Su Lele wants to see if she can find some delicious ones.
The mountains behind Liujia Village are rolling and beautiful. Su Lele took a breath of fresh air while walking. In ancient times, there was really no pollution, and the air was good, especially in the countryside and mountain villages. From time to time, you can see the red fruits hanging all over the branches. Grandfather Su Dong took a bite of the red fruits and his teeth were so sour! It seems that you can’t try unprocessed red fruits easily.
"Why are there so many fruits that look like hedgehogs and are covered with thorns on the ground around here?" the Duke of Lao Zhen said in surprise.
"Hey, isn't this a chestnut?" I glanced at the tree. The branches were covered with chestnuts. Some of the chestnut shells on the ground had cracked and I could see the dark brown chestnuts inside.
"Miss Su, do you know this burr ball? Don't touch it. The thorns on the outside are very sharp. Be careful when you get it."
"Brother Liu, do you eat this chestnut fruit on weekdays?"
"Can this burr ball be eaten? No one in the village eats it." Liu Shitou asked seriously.
"Granddaughter, is this fruit delicious?" Su Dong was very excited when he heard about eating it.
"After being cooked, it becomes soft, glutinous and sweet."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Dong held the basket and reached for the burr ball. Su Lele stopped him in time: he wanted to open the thorny shell and take out the chestnut inside. The shell cannot be peeled off directly by hand, it must be broken open with a stone.
After a while, two large baskets were filled, and there were still many left unpicked on the ground and trees. I heard from Liu Shitou that there were still many chestnut trees in the mountains, and it seemed that new products could be produced again.
Su Lele wanted to go deeper into the mountains to see if there was anything else he could find. Grandpa and the others wanted to pick some more chestnuts, and they were too old to walk, so they had to stop for a while. Liu Shitou took Su Lele and walked inside for a while. They found that there were very few fruit trees in this mountain forest. They were basically filled with tall and strong pine trees. There were also many pine cones on the ground. When they opened it, they saw full pine nuts. . The expensive and delicious pine nuts sold in modern times fell all over the ground with no one picking them up. Su Lele felt more pain than seeing chestnuts everywhere.
Seeing Su Lele picking up the pine cone with a smile on her face, Liu Shitou didn't ask anything. It must be a good thing, so he just picked it up.
"Brother Liu, I plan to purchase chestnuts and pine nuts from the village. You go tell the village chief and notify every household in the village. Chestnuts are 2 Wen per catty and pine nuts are 100 Wen per catty."
"Okay, I'll tell the village chief when I get back later." Shitou replied with joy on his face. The villagers had made progress again.
Everyone went down the mountain with a full harvest, and picked baskets of apricots and peaches on the way back. Back at Zhuangzi, Su Lele cooked several farm dishes: braised pork, boiled fish, mapo tofu, eggplant and beans. This meal was once again conquered by the old man of the town. Each dish has its own characteristics. , eating it made his mouth full of oil.
