Regarding the soap, Mrs. Xu and Xu Tianxin’s initial plan was to sell it back to the village.
Take advantage of this trip to pretend to buy goods, and wholesale the soap to the villagers when you return.
That's why I brought a lot of semi-finished products for making soap from home, including lard and honey, so I didn't mind taking the trouble with me. I planned to sell condoms while making them from soaked milk sachets. I would boil them at my accommodation and let them air-dry in the evening. When I returned to the village, I should be able to save at least a few dozen pieces of soap to sell to surrounding villages.
But the situation has changed now. I didn't expect the sales to be so smooth. The tables were full of soap bags and condoms. So what should they do with the remaining soap ingredients?
Mrs. Xu said to her granddaughter:
"I will go home later and make ordinary soap from all the semi-finished products. Finish it early and save worry.
Farmers who can afford soap are not bad. How many can afford milk petal honey soap to wash their face?
Only milk knows how hard it is to make soap by filtering and steaming it. I smell it better than the bath beans sold in the powder shop.
I have also made a plan. If I can't sell it at a high price when I get home, and the people in the village don't know the goods, they would rather keep it all, including your aunt, for washing and bathing. It is better to keep a few pieces for gifts than to sell them cheaply.
The same goes for ordinary soap. If you can't sell it, throw it away and keep it for your three uncles to wash their faces and wash their clothes. "
But Mrs. Xu knew very well that it was impossible not to sell it.
Xu Tianxin also planned this. After returning from the restaurant sales, he would go to Grandpa Liu's house and make all the semi-finished products. It is much more convenient to boil it at Liu's house and let it dry in the air than to live in Datongpu in Fucheng.
Xu Tianxin just felt a little pity when he said it. Grandpa Guan's medicinal kits are scented with osmanthus, jasmine, guli, aloe vera and mint. If all of these are made into soap, they will be very fragrant.
And Grandpa Guan didn't hide anything. He mentioned to grandma that honeysuckle, large green-leaf knotweed, wild chrysanthemum and astragalus were used in the condom making process, as well as a little vinegar and water to steam them.
She guessed this was the sterilization step. When the family members in the live broadcast room heard these words, they went out of their way to help check it out. They said that if there is no anti-virus liquid at home, boiling these traditional Chinese medicines into water and putting it in a humidifier can be used as an anti-virus liquid.
"I don't know what to do with the milk and medicine packs for soaking condoms after every sale of table milk. It's a pity that I throw them all away."
Mrs. Xu smiled and relied on her understanding of the old sisters: "It can't be in vain, she will drink it all." She will use the water as a meal.
It was a pity that Xu Tianxin and the family members in the live broadcast room heard this. They didn't have the opportunity to live broadcast how the grandma on the table drank the milk medicated water that had been soaked in condoms.
When they arrived at the restaurant and explained their purpose of coming, Mrs. Xu took out a few samples despite the disdainful look on her face.
To be honest, the shopkeeper of the county restaurant didn’t take the couple seriously at first. Every once in a while, someone would come to sell so-called recipes, stewed vegetables and side dishes. Over the years, he had seen too many people who wanted to come to the restaurant to make money. People, but in fact those so-called unique craftsmanship are not enough in their eyes.
Poor families can't even eat white rice a few times a year, and the rice can't be steamed well, so what kind of skills can they expect?
He said, this kind of people might as well make enough food to satisfy themselves, carry a basket to the riverside and sell it to coolies. Why should they come to a restaurant to try their luck? What can a chef hired for five taels of silver a month not do?
But when the "silver jelly" sprinkled with dried osmanthus flowers was brought out, and Mrs. Xu took out the fish noodles from the basket, cooked a bowl of fish noodles in the stove and gave it to the shopkeeper to try, the shopkeeper immediately decided to have both. .
As for the "silver jelly", the taste is cooler than the meat jelly, and there are no frozen meat bombs in the skin. In his opinion, it is cheaper and can be sold as a cold dish. It's cheap and easy to sell as a snack.
As for the fish noodles, to be honest, the prices sold by the grandfather and grandson are really expensive, but the shopkeeper knows the goods, and after just one bite, he knows that this bowl of noodles will be marketed to VIP customers in the future.
The restaurant owner tried to bargain.
Mrs. Xu was unhappy and said: "I'll give it a try. If you want to bargain, forget it. Even so, I'll get it cheaper."
After Mrs. Xu said this, even Xu Tianxin, who was not good at lying, nodded repeatedly.
Because this bowl of noodles is made of fresh fish and finely ground sweet potato flour, and in order to completely integrate the sweet potato flour and fish, it needs to be beaten one hundred and fifty times each time during the making process, which is difficult for Qin Niang to do. Arm hurts.
After beating, fry the beaten fish pancake in an iron pan at 40 to 50 degrees Celsius until the surface is slightly bubbling and discolored, then roll it up when it cools, then cut into shreds and dry in the sun. This method is cumbersome, but fortunately, it can be stored for a whole year, and the freshness of the fish is completely preserved. It is much more enjoyable to cook a bowl of noodles with such ingredients.
Grandma sells a pound of noodles for a hundred copper coins, which is really not expensive.
