Chapter 049 Selling Braised Pig Trotters

There are also seventy sets of pigs going into the water and two hundred and eighty pig trotters, so you can't waste it.

It doesn't matter, Ji Wan has a solution.

When the first batch of pigs were delivered, she chopped all the pig's trotters into six sections that night and filled them with three large buckets.

The next morning, she got up and fryed pork liver, fried fat intestines, stir-fry pork hearts, stir-fry pork waist and pork belly soup, and put it in a food box.

"Mom, I'm going to the county town with my elder brother and the others today, and I won't come back for lunch. Arong, remember to watch out for your younger brother at home and don't let outsiders enter the bedroom."

Ji Rong nodded vigorously.

"Sister, don't worry, I know."

Ji Heng ran over with his short legs and said angrily: "Sister, I want to go too."

Ji Wan bent down, clicked his nose, and said, "Sister has important things to do when going to the county, and I can't take you there. Ah Heng remembers to listen to his mother and third sister at home, and not run around, do you know?"

Ji Heng nodded obediently, "Yes."

Ji Wan touched his head and looked at Zhou again, "Mom, I'm leaving."

Zhou put on her cloak that she had made just yesterday and carefully reminded her: "Remember to be careful when you are outside, go home after you finish your work, don't stay."

"I know, I will."

Ji Wan walked out with the food box. Ji Ping and Ji Cheng had already moved three large buckets of braised pig trotters into the ox cart. When they saw her coming out, they took the food box from her and put it in.

"Second sister, how much do you plan to sell this braised pig trotter?"

My second sister's skills are so good. She can make a variety of stinky pigs in the water. They are fragrant and delicious, making people want to swallow their tongues together.

"One penny."

Ji Cheng widened his eyes, "So expensive?"

A pig's trotter can cost six cents if it is chopped into six pieces, and a pig's trotter can be sold for twenty-four cents. If this is normal, I could buy two kilograms of meat.

Is it expensive?

Ji Wan still feels a loss.

If this were in modern times, half a pound of braised pig trotters would have to be sold for more than 20 yuan, and a pig trotter would have to be sold for about 50 yuan. According to the purchasing power of this era, a braised pig trotter would be worth at least 40 cents. If the family had not collected too many pigs at one time and the number of pig trotters would have to be eaten by her family, she would have been reluctant to sell them.

However, in Dayan, the cost of pig's trotters is low, so she made a profit by selling each of them for six cents.

"Don't worry, it's meat at least, it can be sold." Ji Wan is very confident in her cooking skills. "Pig trotters are rich in collagen, suitable for all ages, especially women who eat them are very good for their skin. Also, when selling pancakes later, you tell those customers that our family is going to start selling ham, which costs two cents a piece."

A pig's legs can make eighty hams and one hundred and sixty hams. Seventy pigs and five hundred and sixty hams can be sold for eleven taels and two cents of silver. If you make pancake fruits, you can sell for fifty six taels of silver. However, pancake fruits are complicated and other ingredients are used, so making ham saves time.

"But we only sell forty hams a day."

"Why?"

Ji Cheng looked confused. People in the town liked the pancakes and fruits very much. The ham sausages would definitely be sold. If that's the case, why not sell more?

"This is called marketing."

Ji Wan blinked, "There are only a fixed amount of money to sell every day to reflect the value of ham sausage. As the saying goes, rare things are expensive, so customers have to line up to buy them."

Ji Wan doesn't understand business practices, but Ji Ping agrees.

"I think Awan is right. If you sell as much as you have at home, you will definitely not be satisfied after a long time. If you make a fuss about ordering something, Awan can't make it and offend people for nothing. You have made a statement about the sales volume every day. Everyone has been accustomed to our rules from the beginning and will not cause trouble in the future. For example, now Awan only sells 80 pancakes every day. Look at those who haven't bought them, don't they behave like that even though they regret it or complain, aren't it?"

“That’s right.”

Ji Cheng smiled relievedly.

The two brothers have been selling food for some time, and many customers are familiar with them. After calculating the time, they come to the market entrance. Today, they see that they have moved three more wooden barrels, and they can't help but be curious.

"Little brother, what fresh food has your family produced?"

Ji Ping opened the first wooden barrel and exposed the red braised pig's trotters.

The young man who was asking just now didn't recognize him for a moment, "What's this? It smells so good."

"This is a braised pig's trotter made by my sister. It's soft and delicious. Brother, please buy two."

The greasy color and the aroma of the braised ingredients make people unable to help but have a lot of appetite. It is hard to imagine that such a despicable thing as pig's trotter can be made so fragrant.

If it was changed, others would definitely dislike it, but this man was an old customer. In addition, the color and fragrance of braised pig trotters were really attractive, so he asked, "How much does it cost?"

"One penny."

“So expensive?”

Someone immediately exclaimed, "It's only five cents to buy a pair of pigs in the water, and the pig's trotters are all given. You cut so small, but you actually have to sell it for a penny. It's too dark."

She was the woman who initially despised the expensiveness of pancakes. Her voice was very sharp and her eyes were filled with accusations and anger.

"You're crazy about money."

Ji Cheng was angry, "Our braised pig trotters use a lot of braised ingredients. It takes a lot of time to boil the braised water and it has to be cleaned several times. What's more, pig trotters contain protein, which is especially good for women to eat. Auntie, if you don't like it, then forget it, why bother to speak so badly?"

Ji Ping had a better temper and calmer, saying, "Aunts and uncles, we have been selling scallion pancakes and pancakes here for some time. Any food made by our family will be dissatisfied with everyone?"

“That’s true.”

The young man said before: "These two brothers have been here for almost a month to sell food. The scallion pancakes and pancakes they make are fresh and delicious. My youngest son likes them so much that he has to eat one every day."

"My grandson likes it too. I have to come here early every day, for fear that I will buy it if I come too late."

"These two brothers are really good at trading and no price increases, they are still worth enough, and the taste is as good as ever."

"The pig's trotters smell bad and are not easy to clean. I don't know how this restaurant is made, it smells so good. The food they eat is not delicious and the price is affordable. Brother, I'll give you two braised pig's trotters first."

A woman in a pomegranate red jacket squeezed away the woman she had shouted before, and took out her purse with ease, "Another three pancakes and six scallion pancakes. Now, forty-one cents."

Ji Ping and his brothers were happy, one of them filled with food and the other paid for money. There was a charcoal basin under the wooden barrel, and the iron for making pots was placed on the charcoal basin, which was always warm, so the braised pig's trotters were still hot.

The woman took it and took a bite. It was fragrant, soft, tender and delicious, and her eyes lit up.

"Give me two more, oh no, four... ten."

"It's really that delicious?"

When the person behind saw that she had bought twelve cents of pig's trotters at one time, he couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"It's delicious, better than stir-fried meat. It's fragrant, soft and not greasy. It's too cost-effective for a penny."

The woman praised her, "My mother-in-law has bad teeth and can't eat hardest, and this pig's trotter is just right."

She happily took the braised pig's trotters and went home.

The young man who asked at the beginning couldn't help it, "Little brother, I'll give four braised pig trotters and two other pancakes."

I naturally have to taste it when I get it. I couldn't stop this taste. After eating a braised pig's trotter, I turned around and said, "Go eight more."

The Ji Ping brothers were overjoyed and quickly pretended to be eight more for him.

The door was very popular, and the people behind him had no scruples, so they paid for the braised pig trotters. The woman who was picking on her was so angry that she stamped her feet. In fact, she wanted to eat it, but she thought the price was too expensive and wanted to make a fuss and reduce the price. Unexpectedly, she failed again. Seeing that everyone bought braised pig trotters so deliciously, the greedy worm in her belly also started to scream.
