The road to the emperor begins with farming

Luo Yu heated up the marinade, and the aroma spread quickly, filling the entire street market with the deep and fresh aroma of marinated vegetables.

The servants and servants who came to the market to buy and the nearby merchants who did business smelled the fragrance, and came to inquire one after another, and some children came to watch the fun.

"Xiao Langjun, what do you sell? Why is it so fragrant?" A woman with a clean dress and a good face asked a 4- or 5-year-old child while holding her hand.

The child kept tugging at his mother's hand, "Mom, I want to eat."

When Luo Yu saw that there were many people around his stall, he was very happy, and quickly introduced: "This is stewed skewers. Vegetarian dishes cost one penny a skewer, pork belly skewers and chicken legs are five pennies...these stewed vegetables are sold by portion. , 15 Wen per copy."

Although Linjiang County ranks high among the several counties under the jurisdiction of Yueping Prefecture, and its business is developing well, it is also for big families and merchants.Most of the people in the city are just richer than the farmers in the countryside, and they can buy more pork a few times a month.

Those pig ears, pig's feet, sheep's feet, etc., because there is not much meat, are usually not sold well in pork shops.People in the city are more inclined to buy some pork with fat and fat to go home. One is to eat meat, and more importantly, to boil lard.At this time, a catty of fat pork cost more than 30 yuan, and the price of these pig feet that Luo Yu bought back was much lower, but the amount of stewed vegetables he sold was also quite large, which was really not expensive.

Everyone heard that it only costs one or two pennies, which is not very expensive, and it smells so good, so it must taste even better.The woman took out a penny before, "Take a string of dried beans and let me have a taste."

Luo Yu took the money, threw the marinated skewers into the pot and heated them for a while, then handed them to the woman.

The woman took a sip first, and immediately nodded.Dried bean curd already absorbs the flavor, after marinating, it not only absorbs the flavor of various spices, but also soaks in the deep soup from boiling pork and chicken, it really tastes more delicious than any cooking form at this time.

The child next to me seemed to be impatient, "Mom, I want to eat, I want to eat!"

A string of dried beans cost three yuan, and the woman ate one piece of dried beans in two or three bites, and passed the rest to the child. Then she fished out more than a dozen coins from her purse, and lit the other stewed skewers, "First, do the same with me. A string."

When the others saw it, they also paid for it one after another. Luo Yu was collecting money while throwing stewed skewers into the pot.

After tasting it, everyone was full of praise and said it was delicious, and it can be eaten as a snack or bought as an appetizer.And it was fresh food, many people had the idea of ​​trying something new, and the business was very good for a while, Luo Yu was almost in a hurry.

But in less than half an hour, the stewed skewers were sold out, leaving only some large portions of stewed vegetables.These stewed dishes cost 15 Wen a piece, but ordinary people are a little bit reluctant, only those who don’t hesitate to eat on weekdays, or servants and servants sent by rich families with some land at home to buy some generously, buy some to try with the masters and wives of the mansion.

Fortunately, this time Luo Yu didn't make many stewed vegetables, and some neighbors had already sold some of them before going out, so within an hour, all the stewed vegetables had been sold out.

Some who came late looked at the empty basin and sighed, and asked Luo Yu if he would come tomorrow, and left after getting an affirmative answer.

Luo Yu packed his things and went home, the smile on his face never stopped.He was not short of money in his previous life, and he had never experienced the joy of ordinary people earning money with their own hands. That kind of satisfaction was something he had never had before.

When he got home, Luo Yu put down his things, took out the copper coins he earned today, counted them, and took some copper coins from the space, and went out non-stop with a vegetable basket to buy ingredients.

The business is so good, Luo Yu plans to spend more time today.And now his family is considered rich, Luo Zhan made 50 taels in one go, so he doesn't have to worry about not having enough capital.

Two types of vegetarian dishes have been added to the purchase this time, and the meat dishes have not changed. However, he does not plan to use the pheasants in the space. He will keep those for his family to eat later. Instead, he bought five or six ordinary roosters.Whole chickens are dismembered and sold separately. In addition to chicken wings and legs, there are also chicken feet, chicken necks, chicken hearts and chicken skeletons.

As for some pork offal that Luo Yu didn't buy, the smell was too strong. Although the smell would be covered up after being marinated, it was also very delicious, but it was dirty and troublesome to clean up.Although he wanted to make money, he was unwilling to do those things, and he couldn't do it alone.Don't count on Luo Zhan, firstly, his brother has a serious job now, and secondly, he has objections to his troubles, Luo Yu guesses that his brother must still be dreaming of sending him to study in an academy.

After working hard for a long time, Luo Yu finally washed and cut up the things he bought, and put them into the pot with marinade.

After everything was done, he spread out on the chair for a long time and didn't want to move, he was really tired.In the future, the business will grow bigger and bigger. He feels that it is necessary to hire a few people to help with the work, otherwise he will be exhausted sooner or later by himself.

Also, it is really inconvenient to sell things with a basin every day, so I have to go to the carpenter's shop to order a small cart suitable for selling goods.Although tricycles are more suitable, there is no such thing in this era, only ox-horse carts.

Luo Yu recalled the small carts at the roadside stalls he had seen before, first drew a sketch, and then revised it repeatedly to make it easier to push and pull to fix it, and then went to the carpenter's shop.

The carpenter looked at the sketches, and listened to him talking and gesticulating. He actually got a general idea. He said that this thing is interesting. Let him come to pick up the goods in two days, and he will make this small truck first.

Luo Yu had been busy all day, so he didn't want to make dinner. On the way back, he bought some pancakes, that is, steamed buns. The dishes were still stewed vegetables, and he made kelp and egg drop soup.

When eating dinner, Luo Zhan looked at his younger brother who obviously had no appetite and was too tired to talk, his face was a little gloomy.

Luo Yu thought his brother would dislike eating stewed vegetables again tonight, and flattered him, "Brother, what do you want to eat tomorrow? I'll make something you like."

"I'm not picky about food, but I just don't want to see you work so hard every day." Luo Zhan frowned and said, "Just stay at home for a few days and let me find out what happened to the academy. In the next year, you can go to school."

As soon as Luo Yu heard his brother's old remark, he quickly argued: "Brother, I don't think it's hard work, but I think it's very interesting to make some things for sale. Brother, let me do it, otherwise I will have nothing to do at home every day. Eating idle food will greatly distort my outlook on life and values, and it is very detrimental to my growth."

Luo Zhan: "..." This is all a mess.

Luo Zhanbian was just a good-talking younger brother, so he only made up his mind to send him to study after the new year.As for now, let him make trouble first. "You can do what you want, and I will buy two servants to help you when I come back."

"Okay." Seeing that his brother finally did not object, Luo Yu was very happy, feeling that the revolution had won a phased victory.As for other things, it doesn't matter, besides, if someone helps him, he can relax a bit.
