When everyone heard the price, before Liu Dongjia said anything, the people watching the fun nearby were shocked.

"What? This worthless pig intestine is so expensive?"

"Yes! Normally, pig intestines are not eaten even if given away as gifts. Why are they so expensive?"

"That's right, Pork Chen, you are too cruel, aren't you?"

Chen's brother-in-law smiled bitterly, "Alas! I have worked so hard to ensure that my fellow villagers can eat fresh pork. The pig intestines are not worth much, but the spices used to cook them are expensive!

Especially since there is a kind of foreign seasoning added in here, the spicy taste is the taste of red pepper, and that thing is ridiculously expensive. I spent a lot of favors to get it from other places. "

There is some sincerity in what Chen's brother-in-law said.

When he said this, most people believed it, but there were always some troublemakers.

"Pork Chen, if you say it's chili pepper, then it must be chili pepper? Could it be the spicy Evodia rutaecarpa?" Mr. Wang, who owns the grocery store across the street, said with a smile while stroking his mustache.

The Chen Dynasty’s maritime ban had only been lifted for a few years, and ordinary people had heard of these imported things, but not many people had been able to see them, let alone eat them.

"This pepper is spicy but not bitter. Cornus officinalis is spicy but also bitter. Anyone who has tried it should be able to taste the difference." Chen's brother-in-law said patiently.

Those who had tasted it nodded, and everyone looked at Shen Yuan again.

"My dear, you smell good, how does it taste?"

"Yeah, you can try it too!"

Shen Yuan is very confident in his things.

Didn't you hear what everyone said just now? Chen Ji used to sell a lot of boiled meat, but it was old and salty and tasted terrible. Even if Second Sister-in-law Shen had good cooking skills, it couldn't compare to the meat she braised using the most complete secret recipe in later generations.

She smiled slightly, "This is my palace secret recipe for marinated peanuts with soy sauce flavor. It's palace food, everyone knows it, right? That's how the nobles eat it. I've been busy all day, and I can only make this little bit. First come, first served. If you miss it, it will be gone."

She kept silent about the price.

Although what she said sounded nice, unfortunately no one bought her account.

Who can't speak if their mouth is blank?

How many people don’t brag when selling things?

Some said the emperor had eaten it, some said it was a favorite of some empress, there are so many.

If you just blow it without letting people taste it, who would know what it tastes like?

For a moment, no one said they wanted to buy it.

Shen Yuan was also in a difficult situation. Her ability was limited and she couldn't make much. With so many people around, if everyone tried a piece, she wouldn't have to sell the sausage and could just give it away!

Here, Ma Zhizhi helped Liu Dongjia weigh the braised sausages. Liu Dongjia took the braised sausages and started eating them eagerly. "Not bad, this spicy flavor is really to my liking!"

Everyone saw how deliciously he was eating, and their mouths were watering.

"Mr. Liu, is it really that delicious?" A man reached out to pinch a piece to taste it.

Liu Dongjia immediately dodged backwards and rolled his eyes at the person who said that. "Didn't you taste it just now?"

Ma Zhizhi was indeed following the child's father in business, and she quickly said in a crisp voice: "There are not many braised sausages left, first come first served!"

After seeing Liu Dongjia eat this, everyone stopped hesitating. Everyone knew that Liu Dongjia was a famous eater and a good eater.

If he says it’s delicious, then it must be delicious!

"I want half a pound."

"I want eight taels too!"

"Cut me a pound!"

As everyone watched the amount of meat and intestines in the pot dwindle, they all rushed to buy some.

In the blink of an eye, the braised sausages were sold out.

Ma Zhizhi said crisply, "The braised sausages are sold out, but we still have pig head meat! It's soft, chewy, refreshing and not greasy! Come and try it!"

Ma Zhizhi was the first to cut a piece for Liu Dongjia, and then she cut some more slices of meat for everyone to taste.

“Try before you buy!”

Those who didn't get the pig intestines were a little disappointed, but they didn't expect there were more available. They didn't even bother to taste them and started buying them by the pound or half a pound.

In a short while, the braised meat in the pot was sold out.

Mr. and Mrs. Chen didn't expect that business would be so good on the first day.

Yesterday, Brother Shen and Ma Xiuxiu explained their purpose. After tasting the braised pork, Chen the Pork immediately thought that this recipe could solve his problem of not being able to sell all the pork in the summer, so he quickly agreed to form a partnership.

In the past, he would cook and sell the pork that he couldn’t sell, but the taste was just so-so and few people bought it, so in the end, his family just ate it.

There are three companies involved in the braised meat business, and all three have invested some capital.

Since Shen Rong provided the recipe, she got 20% of the profit, and this 20% profit included the supply of dried chili peppers.

Of course, the dried chilies were bought from Grandma Liu at the price of twenty cents per two taels.

My second sister-in-law Ma Xiuxiu also contributed part of the capital. She usually does the business and holds a 30% stake.

The Chen family holds 50% of the shares.

Shen Rong was very satisfied with this arrangement.

The deal was settled, and that evening, Ma Xiuxiu and Shen's second brother took the leftover pork home to braise it. The Shen family's kitchen did not rest until the first half of the night.

Early the next morning, Second Brother Shen carried two tightly covered wooden barrels and went to the town with Ma Xiuxiu. Shen Rong was worried and followed them.

However, she did not show up from beginning to end.

However, she had told everyone in advance that someone might steal her business.

Brother-in-law Chen is not worried about anyone coming to steal his business.

His father has been selling pork in the town for decades, and he started helping out in the shop when he was a teenager. It has been more than ten years now, and he has some reputation in this business. As long as the pork tastes good, no one can take his business away.

Things turned out just as he expected.

Shen Yuan stood by and watched for a long time, but no one showed any interest in him. His face turned pale and red.

Now that she was already here, she had no intention of leaving.

If setting up a street stall doesn’t work, then go for the high-end route.

Shen Yuan took a deep look at Chen Ji Pork Shop, left the market, and came to the gate of Lai Fu Restaurant, the largest restaurant in the town.

Lai Fu Restaurant has two floors. In the middle above the door is a plaque wrapped in red silk, with the four big characters "Lai Fu Restaurant" written in a flamboyant style.

A long string of big red lanterns was hung on the pillars on both sides of the door, and on each lantern the word "Lai Fu" was written with a brush.

Shen Yuan looked around and walked in.

It was almost time for dinner. There were several guests sitting in the lobby, and several waiters were busy coming in and out.

Shen Yuan casually pulled a waiter and said, "Waiter, I have something to ask your shopkeeper."

The waiter was not impatient, "Young lady, what do you want from our shopkeeper?"

Shen Rong had confidence in the braised pork she made, and even more confidence in the recipes summarized by later generations. She didn't believe that the braised pork from Chen's Pork Shop could be sold in a restaurant in just one morning.

"I want to discuss business with your shopkeeper. Please come and see me."

The waiter looked at Shen Yuan, who seemed confident. Also, seeing that her behavior was not like that of an ordinary country girl, he called the shopkeeper over.

"Sorry, our restaurant doesn't need this." Manager Liu lost interest after just one look.

"Boss, how do you know you don't need it if you haven't tasted it?"

Seeing that Shen Yuan was determined not to give up, Shopkeeper Liu had no choice but to take a taste with chopsticks. Without saying anything, he asked the waiter to cut some braised pork intestines and bring them in.

"My dear, the braised sausage you made tastes good, but it's still a little worse than the one in this old building."

When Shen Yuan saw it, she felt that it looked very similar to Chen's Pork Shop. "This seems to be the same as Chen's Pork Shop."

Shopkeeper Liu nodded, "This is his shop. Someone went to order pork this morning, and Pork Chen recommended some braised pork. Unexpectedly, it sold quite well!"

Shopkeeper Liu's meaning was very clear. Chen's braised meat tasted good and the two families already had dealings with each other. If you wanted to sell braised pork intestines, it would definitely not work.

Shen Yuan felt disappointed when he heard him say that.

Qingshi Town is not big. There is Chenji Pork Shop in the market, and the largest restaurant has business dealings with Chenji.

I’m afraid she won’t be able to sell her braised sausages.

Shen Yuan came out of the restaurant dejectedly. When he looked up and saw Yuelai Restaurant across the street, hope suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Yuelai Restaurant is the second largest restaurant in Qingshi Town. It is only one-story building and does not look as upscale as Laifu Restaurant from the outside.

But at this time, Shen Yuan didn't care about so many things. As long as he could sell the things, it didn't matter how big the restaurant was.

She straightened her chest and walked into Yuelai Restaurant.
