Chapter 100 Small Idea
Zhou Lang's preparations were much more thorough than those of Friday Lang. Man Bao went to look through the basket brought by his second brother and found that there was a pot of chopped dolphin bones in it, the kind with meat.
There were two pieces of pork belly that were almost the same size, and one piece of fat meat.
Man Bao drooled at them.
Zhou Zuorang was afraid that Manbao's saliva would drip on the meat, so he quickly lifted him away, and then coaxed: "Second brother will give you meat to eat at noon."
Man Bao drooled and nodded.
Thinking about food, she was reluctant to leave, so she squatted in front of the stove to help light the fire. In fact, she just took a look at the fire and told her brothers when the fire was low, and then someone would come up to add more firewood.
Bai Shanbao squatted with her for a while, and then he felt that watching the fire was not fun, so he and Bai Erlang went to play in the dug ditch.
Daji followed them step by step, and after one glance, Zhou Erlang was no longer worried.
He also put the cleaned large bones with meat into the cauldron. Since he knew that stewing soup could make money, and he could make a lot of money, he must make the soup better, at least with more oil and water, right?
Tuesday Lang put the lid on, then cut the cabbage and radish.
Today they also brought a smaller cauldron and a large jar.
Guessing that the time was almost up, he put the fat and radishes into the cauldron and stewed them for less than two quarters of an hour. Then he lit a fire on the stove set aside to cook the radish stew.
The soup from the cauldron is used.
In this way, even fuel is saved.
When the radish stew was done, he poured the vegetables into the jar, placed it by the fire to heat, and then started cooking the cabbage stew.
When the officer rang the meal gong, the officer who came to deliver the meal couldn't help but look here again and again, and then asked his colleagues, "Why does it smell better than yesterday?"
The two policemen had wandered over to take a look earlier and knew that the Zhou brothers had brought a lot of meat today and planned to make meat dishes.
Just looking at their colleagues, the two policemen looked at each other and smiled casually: "I asked, they use a lot of meat, and the whole family just invests in it, just to make some hard money."
The two of them were also afraid that the police would drive them away, because Zhou Zuorang hinted this morning that if his business could continue, he would not be short of filial piety.
what does that mean?
It means they can eat and drink for free.
The messenger who delivered the meal took a look at the group of people surrounding the cauldron. Seeing that they were young adults and children, he stopped thinking about it and handed the meal to them and said, "Okay, lunch is here. I
Let’s go back first.”
"good."
After everyone received their respective steamed buns, they subconsciously headed towards the Zhou family's stove. Smelling the aroma, everyone laughed and asked Wu Lang, who had gotten acquainted with him a little bit yesterday, "What is so fragrant today?"
Wu Lang said with a smile: "My second brother bought some more meat today and said he would cook a dish for everyone to add more flavor. It costs five cents a spoon. If brothers want to eat, tell me and he will give it to you."
You fight."
Zhou Zuorang took over the conversation and smiled with them: "Thank you for your support yesterday, brothers. It's just that the weather is freezing. People who only drink soup and don't eat vegetables can easily get sick. My sister said it as soon as she got home yesterday. She feels sorry for her.
Her third brother can only eat dry food in the fields and has no vegetables to eat, so we prepared some vegetables today, but not much. If you want to change your taste, buy some."
"By the way," Zhou Zhoulang said with a smile: "We will boil a pot of hot water in the afternoon and make steamed buns for everyone to eat, just like yesterday."
While talking, Zhou Erlang opened the lid of the jar containing radish stew, and then opened the lid of the cabbage stew heated over charcoal.
Everyone could clearly see the slices of meat wrapped in radishes and cabbage, and many Laoding swallowed subconsciously.
Speaking of which, they haven't eaten food for a long, long time.
The aroma comes to your nostrils. Zhou Lang's cooking skills may be average, but he uses bone soup and adds an appropriate amount of salt to cook the dishes. There is pork belly in the dishes. Even if his cooking skills are not good and he has good ingredients, it will not be difficult.
No matter where he eats, his cooking skills are not that bad.
But the price is also very expensive, only five cents.
Although they know that five cents is not expensive when there are vegetables and meat, anyone who has been to the county town to eat knows that such a dish in the county town will cost at least ten cents.
Many people just looked at the food and salivated, and did not dare to pay for it. Most people still queued up to buy soup.
Then they found that today's soup was quite oily and better than yesterday, so they were happy.
The first dozen or so people all asked for soup, but no one asked for food. Zhou Zuorang was not in a hurry. He had already calculated the worst case scenario. At most, he would not be able to sell even one portion. He would leave some for the third child and leave the rest.
He took it all back and fed it to his family.
With so many family members, they must have eaten late.
It was also because of this situation that Zhou Erlang didn't cook a lot.
There are only about ten servings of cabbage and radish.
Man Bao was on the side collecting the money. Zhou Erlang brought an extra big spoon today, and he and Lao Wu were on the same side, so the speed was much faster.
Zhou Lang came over quickly with steamed buns, and Zhou Lang asked him to wait for a while, found a large bowl from the basket next to him, filled him with two dishes, and asked him to squat down and eat.
Many Laoding looked at the dishes in his bowl. Some of them were from a better family and discussed with Zhou Erlang, "I don't want to buy just the same thing, but spending ten cents is too much. In this way, I only have five cents."
How about you give me half a spoon as well?"
Zhou Zhoulang thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay."
The man immediately took out five cents. He happened to be standing in front of Man Bao and gave the money to Man Bao.
Seeing him buying vegetables, the people behind him also started to use their brains, and began to discuss with Zhou Lang, "Brother, how about I only need half a spoon, and you give me less, can you give me two cents?"
Zhou Erlang: "...This, this is not easy to calculate."
This breaks the rules. How can we do business in the future?
And one spoonful is easy to calculate. Regardless of whether the radish stew is more meat or the cabbage stew is more meat, it is just one spoonful if you add one piece. The guests will eat it, and most of them will not have any objections.
But what if he thinks half a spoonful is missing?
Zhou Erlang was thinking about what to say, but Man Bao thought it was a good idea, but she changed the concept and said, "Yes, yes, everyone will save money. Big brother, you can find someone to partner with you, and each person will contribute half of it."
With the money, I can buy a spoonful of radish stew and cabbage stew, so I can eat two dishes for half the money."
Now the other party became excited and asked: "But how do you calculate these two and a half cents?"
"Isn't this simple? My brothers and the others come here every day. Find someone you like. If you pay three cents this time, next time you want to buy groceries, wouldn't it be nice if it's his turn to pay three cents?"
Laudin thought this was a good idea, so he turned to find his cousin.
The two people quickly crowded together, first each bought a bowl of soup, and then jointly bought a spoonful of vegetables.
With them setting an example, others will follow their example.
Nowadays, in the military service, people from each village gather together. Firstly, they can take care of each other when something happens, and secondly, it is for the sake of peace of mind and easy management, so it is quite easy to find familiar people.
