When leaving the restaurant, two groups of people eating came in one after another.
Mrs. Xu was glad to have arrived early. If it was time for dinner, shopkeeper Wu would not have time to talk to her.
Mrs. Xu was carrying an old-fashioned basket with a piece of old dark blue cloth on her back. Xu Tianxin was carrying a milky-white basket that her uncle had woven for her out of corn leaves and ducked aside to make way for the customers.
One of the girls from one of them looked to be about the same age as Xu Tianxin. She was escorted into the restaurant by her parents. She was chatting and laughing and hugged her mother's arms as if she was discussing what she wanted to eat. It seemed that this family was not short of money.
Mrs. Xu stood aside and looked over with some envy.
In Mrs. Xu's eyes, this little girl was very well dressed.
Red and green are a piece of shit in modern times, and they look ugly if worn poorly. But I don’t know why, but the red and green Hanfu, in the words of young people, is the best here.
How can she look so good? With a pea green pleated skirt, a round-neck peach red double-breasted dress, and two hanging buns, the young girl suddenly looks bright and lively.
Old Mrs. Xu held her granddaughter's rough little hand, hiding her deep feelings for her granddaughter, and waited until all the guests from the two families were in before walking out.
Xu Tianxin didn't notice anything strange about her grandma. She was telling her that the family members in the live broadcast room were asking how much net profit would be left from making fish noodles.
When family members asked, Mrs. Xu would tell the truth.
After calming down and calculating carefully, Mrs. Xu told the truth: "I won't mention the effort. Poor people do not pay for hard work that is not dangerous, and it does not count firewood and the like. If they don't pay for the next delivery, they will pay for it." If the accommodation fee is taken into account, like this time, if you pay three and a half, you will earn two and a half, and one and a half is the cost. If you come to deliver goods next time, you will earn half of Baba's income."
Mrs. Xu has a detailed account in mind.
For example, ten pounds of fish and two pounds of sweet potato flour can roughly make twenty-five fish pancakes, and six or seven pancakes can make one pound of noodles.
Yu Qiniang can only cut out four kilograms of noodles after a tiring day's work.
If Mrs. Xu had to do this kind of work, the maximum weight would be three pounds, and her arms would be sore the next day.
Then calculate the price of pure fish meat. How many fish are needed to produce ten kilograms of pure fish meat after removing the fish heads and bones? Calculate how much a kilogram of sweet potatoes costs. It takes roughly eight kilograms of sweet potatoes to grind one kilogram of sweet potato flour.
At present, fish are very cheap. When the price of fish rises in winter, fishing through ice holes in winter and net fishing in autumn are two different things. By then, the cost will rise again, and the profit may only be 40%.
This is also the reason why she priced it at one hundred copper coins per pound, to calculate the average. You can't sell it cheaper now just to increase the volume, and then raise the price later when the cost comes up. That will make people feel uncomfortable, and it will also make our jade ring noodles look unrefined.
Mrs. Xu is already very satisfied.
The family members in the live broadcast room were making noises and suggested that if Grandma Xiangguo makes money, she won’t eat something good. She will only earn seven taels when she gets it, and she will make a lot of money when the supply increases in the future. It’s been a month of hard work, and it’s finally time to get into the city and eat something good. Let’s see how the food in your restaurant is. Don't miss the bark of elm trees every day, which makes us want to peel off the bark and go back to taste it when we see an elm tree.
Xu Tianxin did not tell Mrs. Xu this, but she couldn't help but feel connected with Grandma Xianggua and the family members in the live broadcast room.
I happened to pass by a very busy restaurant and wondered why there was still a queue. Mrs. Xu asked her granddaughter to put the money and stand aside to wait. She squeezed forward and inquired about it and found out that the reason why this restaurant is so popular is I often collect some game and cook it.
The price is much cheaper than that of a regular restaurant, and it can also be a souvenir for ordinary people who are greedy for meat and want to improve their lives occasionally.
Isn't she just a typical ordinary person who needs a dental beating?
Nowadays, venison is rare.
Grandma Xianggua is considered a wealthy family in modern times, and she and her granddaughter still have the same consumption concept, which is what shopkeeper Wu said is a little bit like the thinking of rich people.
So it’s not a matter of whether this thing is expensive or not, but there is always a voice in my mind that seems to say, it would be a pity not to try it once you come across it, and it will be hard to buy it when you have money in the future.
Grandma Xianggua came back with a basket, looked into her granddaughter's eyes, and whispered to the family members in the live broadcast room: "You guys have all eaten venison, grandma will take you to eat it together. I haven't eaten it in years."
After saying that, he grabbed his granddaughter’s little hand and insisted on tasting it.
Dragon meat in heaven, venison on earth.
A plate of venison slices with only some chili pepper and no cumin. There is only a thin layer on the bottom of the plate. It sells for 80 yuan. No salt is given. Salt is expensive. Only a little sauce and a small plate of green onions are given. There were people selling steamed cakes with burdens around, shouting: "饽饽,大饽饽". Mrs. Xu called over and bought three big flowering dumplings.
Mrs. Xu has never been greedy for peanuts in modern times. Seeing that the four gentlemen at the table next to her were still spreading salted peanuts on their plates, she turned her head and swallowed, spitting without squinting. She was reluctant to ask for peanuts and handed her granddaughter chopsticks: "Eat. I've been on the road for the past few days. I only ate baked potatoes on the road and it made my heart burn."
Sitting on a bullock cart, it’s no exaggeration to say that the potatoes would make you fart when you eat them.
"I'll spend some money today anyway, and have it with white flour steamed buns."
Xu Tianxin deliberately picked up a piece of venison that had no salty taste and put it into his mouth. The girl, who rarely used modal particles in her speech, smacked her lips and whispered to the family members in the live broadcast room: "Emma, it tastes a bit fishy without salt. The meat tastes fishy." It’s a bit woody and tastes like beef.”
Then, she ate the venison slices dipped in sauce between the big steamed buns.
The old lady Xu across from me was eating venison slices with shredded green onions and dipping sauce. It was as delicious as a burrito. It was obvious that she was really hungry since she was so busy in the morning. She choked and took out her water bag to drink several sips of water.
In modern times, Xu Tianxin could only eat half of the flowered steamed buns at most. Today she ate half of them and was still not full, so she pretended to be full and left it to her grandma.
If there are too few side dishes here, you will eat more staple food. I feel happy just eating white flour steamed buns without eating vegetables. The steamed buns are not as steamy as grandma's, but they are as sweet as the white noodles. She has only been here for a month, but she is still so hungry after eating all the delicious food in the house. Even if she chews a big elbow, she feels like she can't satisfy her craving. This shows what other people are like.
On a plate of thinly spread venison slices, there were actually three pieces left at the end.
What the grandparents and grandchildren didn't know was that many family members in the live broadcast room had no appetite for a table of food and were watching the grandparents and grandchildren eating live.
Mrs. Xu asked her granddaughter to eat: "Hurry and clean up."
"Milk, I'm full." Xu Tianxin called to the uncle who sold the pastries, bought three more large steamed buns, dipped the three slices of meat in the sauce and stuffed some shredded green onions into the buns and took them away.
Mrs. Xu doesn't agree with bringing food to San'er.
It's not that her mother is stingy, it's that there are so many people from the village coming together this time, so how can she let her third son eat it?
After thinking about it, I could only wait until I went to Lao Liu's house to tell my son alone and let him squat in the corner of the alley to eat.
Thanks to Xu Tianxin for thinking about her third uncle.
At this time, Liu Laozhu's sister-in-law arrived home, and Liu Laozhu and the others came back from buying oil.
Liu Laozhu's sister-in-law was banging the pot with a rice spoon, making egg soup for everyone.
Several fish specially brought to the Liu family by the villagers were still jumping in the yard.
Xu Youcang and a few others heard the clang of the stove and were embarrassed to enter the house. They were squatting in rows in the yard. They couldn't go in or leave.
