The escape system takes me to dig for treasures

Chapter 316 Something is abnormal

This piece of bacon is about a pound or two. Since I said I would give it to others to try, there is no reason to charge for it.

The shopkeeper asked the waiter next to him to take it to the kitchen. According to Zhang Sheng's instructions, half of it was steamed and the other half was fried with garlic sprouts.

He took Zhang Sheng to find a table and sat down.

The topics were just that, and they couldn't be separated from the recent weather and turmoil outside, let alone their own business.

After a while, the waiter came up with two plates of meat. The shopkeeper took it and gave it to the guests in the lobby to taste it.

"Everyone, try it. This is a new dish. If you like it, we will officially launch it in a few days."

The people who come to the restaurant are all regular customers. Everyone has nothing to do, chatting and laughing while holding out their chopsticks.

“It tastes pretty good!”

Many people just like the smoky smell.

"Why is this bacon so sweet? But it's also delicious with wine."

After walking around the lobby, only the bottom of the originally full plate of bacon was left.

The shopkeeper didn't mind it either. He brought it back and started eating it himself.

We chatted with Zhang Sheng over and over again, "Why do you think of making bacon? The weather is bad now and everyone doesn't like to go out. Even if your bacon is delicious, it won't be easy to sell."

"Besides, the weather is bad now and food prices are soaring. Most people who have some money will buy food, and they are even less willing to buy meat."

Zhang Sheng smiled and said, "The price of our meat is not cheap. Forget the braised pork before, it cost thirty or forty cents per catty. People in the city gritted their teeth and bought it. Now we price the bacon at fifty cents per catty." Yes, we are not selling to ordinary people."

The shopkeeper groaned, "If you didn't tell me just now, I would have someone send you upstairs."

There are also guests on the second floor of the restaurant, but they are all in private rooms. The guests there don't care about the dozens of pennies, and they often pay several taels of silver for a meal.

As he was talking, a guy hurriedly ran downstairs.

He walked up to the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, Mr. Wu from Box 6 on the second floor heard if our restaurant has a new dish? Why didn't you tell him and ask us to make it quickly and send it to him?"

The shopkeeper was startled for a moment, then smiled, looked at Zhang Sheng and said, "Look, isn't this business coming?"

Zhang Sheng didn't expect it, so he hurriedly said: "Wait a moment, we have some more on the carriage! We have brought a basket."

After saying that, he turned to his youngest son Zhang Wu and said: "Ah Wu, go quickly and get two pieces of bacon from the carriage."

The shopkeeper stopped him, "Wait a minute! Ah Wu, right? Get more, maybe five!"

This bacon is durable, so if you buy more and put it in a restaurant, it will be sold quickly.

Zhang Wu exclaimed and trotted away quickly.

This was the first time he went out to do business with his father. He didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and he opened the business.

The weight of a piece of bacon is about one and a half to two pounds, and each piece is half fat and half lean.

Five strips of bacon weighed more than nine kilograms.

This business was the first step. Zhang Sheng and his son did not stay long. After the business was done, they stood up to leave and go to the next store.

Next, the three of them visited nearly five or six restaurants. Out of novelty, they took a few kilograms from each restaurant to try something new.

After all, Zhang Sheng said that the restaurants in front of him had taken it, and this other restaurant had taken it. When the customers wanted to eat, and they asked, but they didn't have it, wouldn't the customers just leave?

At the end of the day, several people didn't seem to have done any heavy work, and they were very tired when they returned home.

Let his two sons clean up the carriage, while Zhang Sheng went to report the situation to Jiang Lei.

Jiang Li told the truth one by one, Jiang Li nodded slowly after listening, "It's already pretty good at the beginning. We have set a high price for this bacon, so we probably won't be able to sell it if we sell it in the shop."

Fifty cents per pound of meat is already very expensive.

But Gracilaria forgot one thing. In this weather, the price of food has increased, and other food prices have also increased.

A pound of raw pork outside has also risen to 30 cents, and a pound of bacon costs 50 cents, which is a little more expensive, but for people in the city, instead of buying raw pork, it is better to buy some bacon to try.

Zhang Sheng only put two or three kilograms of bacon in each shop, and the one in the north of the city put five or six kilograms.

As a result, Zhang Sheng was found early the next morning when someone came back from delivering braised meat and vegetables.

"Manager, the shopkeepers of each shop said that the bacon needs to be delivered again today. All the bacon delivered yesterday has been sold out."

Zhang Sheng was a little surprised and asked, "Did you say how much it would cost?"

The deliveryman counted the parcels, and Zhang Sheng calculated them in his mind. The total amount was almost twenty kilograms, which was really not a small amount. It was doubled.

There were densely packed bacon hanging in the kitchen, and there was definitely twenty kilograms of it.

"Wait, I'm going to pretend right now, and you'll have to make another trip."

Zhang Sheng said and walked quickly towards the kitchen.

In a short time, half of the basket was filled with baskets from the kitchen.

He put it in the carriage, fixed it, and then patted the coachman on the shoulder, "Be careful on the road!"

The weather was still cloudy. There had been a heavy rain early in the morning, but now it was much lighter. It was drizzling, but the road was muddy.

Watching the carriage go away, Zhang Sheng went back to the kitchen to take stock of how much bacon he had and how long it would last if he sold it like this. He thought about the reasons for the discrepancy with his estimate.

After he was almost done, he went back to Jiang's house to mention the matter to Jiang Li.

It was rainy weather. Except for those who went to school, the Jiang family members were all at home and did not go out much.

Near noon, Zhang Sheng's wife and daughter were busy cooking in the kitchen, Jiang Li and Jiang Songshu were reading, and Mr. Jiang was doing woodwork.

Zhao and Jiang Chunhua were doing needlework under the eaves. There was no business at the dock now, and their family had been idle at home for several days without setting up a stall.

Jiang Chunhua looked at her father and daughter at home, and they would quarrel over every little thing, so she simply ran back to her parents' home.

Zeng Meixiang picked up a puppy from somewhere. It was extremely rare. Zeng Daniu was making a nest for his daughter's dog at home.

Jiang Chunhua wished they wouldn't follow.

When Zhang Sheng arrived at Jiang's house, his wife's meal was almost ready.

As soon as I came out of the kitchen, I happened to see Zhang Sheng come in.

Without looking at his wife, Zhang Sheng strode towards the main room.

Jiang Li heard the rapid footsteps and looked up from the storybook.

"Girl, all the bacon in the shop has been sold out. The guy just came and brought another twenty kilograms of bacon over."

Although the total number is not large, it deviates from their estimate, and this is what they care about.

Jiang Li was indeed surprised.

"After lunch, let's go into the city and have a look!"

Jiang Li suggested.

Zhang Sheng makes no sense.

After everyone came over, Jiang Li invited Zhang Sheng and his family to eat together.

However, since the Jiang family usually came back for dinner, Zhang Sheng's wife would finish cooking and deliver food to her husband's son to the pig farm.
