Early the next morning, Zhao Shanshi and Li Ping got up. After looking around, they washed up and turned on the dim light in the courtyard. Come wash up.

When the old man heard the movement, he put on his coat and got up, "Are you ready to start now?"

"Well, if you don't do it again, it may be too late later. Grandpa, you can go to sleep again."

"Can't sleep, get up and help." The old man came over, "Shall I go to light the fire?"

"Okay, you boil some water first, I'll move the steamer over."

Cut the eggplant in half, put it in a large steamer, and steam it. Cut the beans into sections, put them in boiling water, add some salt, and scald until cooked. Crush the cucumber, and put it in a big pot for later use.

Zhao Danshi and Li Ping were busy. After all the materials were ready, they chopped up the chives and coriander they picked up yesterday, and brought out the crushed chili peppers. They will make chili oil later.

When making cold dishes, he plans to make the basic version first, and then prepare some diced green onion, garlic oil, coriander, chili oil, etc. If the customer wants to add some, he will mix it in on the spot.

He originally planned to buy less, but after thinking about it, it might be sold out in a while, so it's not worth their trip.And it was too little, and he didn't have much money, so he added dozens of catties more.

Sixty catties of cucumbers, thirty catties of eggplants, twenty catties of beans, fifteen catties of puffed tofu, twenty catties of stewed eggs, twenty catties of stewed pork, a total of six large stainless steel washbasins, each with a Cover, and also use three clean small buckets to hold cucumbers and eggplants.

Zhao Danshi didn't want to buy meat dishes at first, but the old man told him to get some. The meat dishes here are far more popular than vegetables, and maybe others will eat them with them when they buy them.

For the sake of convenience, they hired the uncle's tricycle to go to the market after six o'clock. Except for these cold dishes, they didn't bring other dishes.

Miao Yingzhuo kindly lent them a table, watched them laying out pots and pots, craned his neck and asked suspiciously: "What's on your plate? It's full."

"Cold dishes, didn't I tell you that I'm going to sell cold dishes?"

Li Ping raised his head and smiled and asked, "How about it, Boss Miao, do you want some?"

Miao Yingzhuo immediately said: "Okay, come on."

"Wait a minute." Zhao Danshi put out the price tag that had already been written. Cucumbers, beans, and eggplants were sold for ten yuan a catty each, eggs for one yuan and five for one catty, soaked tofu for 15 yuan for a catty, and stewed pork for 25 yuan a catty. catty.

Miao Yingzhuo clicked his tongue, "You are really expensive. After you came back, I feel that the price level of the whole market has risen."

"Come on, I only sell a few things? You also raise the price level of the entire market, you brag and don't make drafts." Zhao Danshi despised him, "I'll mix it for you."

"Let's get some cold cucumber first." The boss chuckled, "I'll also have some eggplant later."

"Okay, do you want to add parsley, shallots and garlic oil?"

"Add them all, and give me some chili oil to make it more spicy."

Zhao Danshi quickly mixed a portion, packed it in a disposable plastic bag, and gave him two small bamboo sticks with pointed ends.

After Miao Yingzhuo took it, he couldn't wait to pick a piece of cucumber and put it in his mouth. In an instant, the aroma of cucumber, sauce, pepper, vinegar, etc. reverberated in his mouth, especially the cucumber with moderate salinity. It just sets off the freshness of the cucumber, but it is not dull, and it also conceals the unique greenness of the raw cucumber.

Zhao Shanshi smiled and asked, "How is it?"

Miao Yingzhuo directly gave him a thumbs up, "Chef's craftsmanship! Hey, give me some more, we'll dress it up and go back to my parents, wife and children, they haven't had breakfast yet."

Zhao Danshi gave him several kinds of cold salad, packed more than two catties together, and served it with eight eggs and half a catty of stewed pork.

Miao Yingzhuo wanted to give money, but Zhao Danshi pushed him back, "What kind of money are you giving? It's just this little thing. We've been bothering you and didn't give you any money. If you feel sorry, just bring me a few packs of toothpicks." And two disposable teacups."

"Why do you want this thing?"

"Let's give it a try, otherwise people come and go, who knows if our cold dishes are good or not?"

Zhao Danshi tidied it up neatly. It was still early, and the people who went to the market didn't come so quickly, but the vegetable sellers picked up vegetables one after another.

Many people saw Zhao Shanshi's stall and jokingly asked, "Shanshi, don't you sell vegetables today?"

"Sell, but sell cold dishes today, and make some new tricks."

"What cold dish?"

"Don't you know if you come and taste it?" Zhao Shanshi greeted people with a smile, "I have something to try here."

As soon as he heard that it was available for tasting, many people gathered around, Zhao Danshi was not in a hurry, he put some cold dishes in disposable cups, inserted toothpicks and distributed them to the people around.

"Yo, this cold dish is really tasty."

"It's delicious. You have a good craftsmanship. You won't lose money if you set up a stall."

"How much is a catty?"

Zhao Danshi stretched out his hand and pointed to the price tag, "Ordinary cold dishes cost ten yuan a catty, and stewed eggs and stewed meat are more expensive."

"Is it so expensive?" Immediately, someone was reluctant to part with it, "Can it be cheaper?"

"This is my cost. Look at my cucumber and eggplant. I sell vegetables for three or four yuan a catty. I wash, cut and steam them at home. It takes a lot of time and effort, and I sell them for ten yuan. Isn’t a catty expensive?” Zhao Danshi smiled, “Besides, my craft, if you try it, isn’t it worth ten yuan?”

"No matter how delicious it is, it's also expensive."

Zhao Danshi shook his head with a smile, "It's only ten yuan, no bargaining."

Zhao Danshi has come out to sell vegetables so many times, and he has never let customers bargain. Everyone knows his temper, so he doesn't ask any more questions. Those who don't want to buy turn around and walk away, and those who want to buy stay.

"Give me a catty of cold cucumber."

"Okay, all kinds of spices are not taboo, right?" Zhao Danshi asked clearly and started mixing with gloves on while smiling, while Li Ping was collecting money and waiting for packing.

"Ten yuan cold dishes, give me some of each, and put more chili oil."

"Okay, mix it right away."

"Shan Shi, save some for me. I'll get it from you after I sell the vegetables."

"I'm afraid it won't work. Everyone will tell me to keep it later, I can't remember. Uncle Ma, how about I mix it up for you and put it in your stall?"

"also."

"Give me half a catty of cold dishes, and I'll buy two steamed buns to chew and eat together."

"I want half a catty too."

……

As the number of people in the market gradually increased, the business at Zhao Danshi's stall became more and more prosperous, and there was a long line of people who came from behind.

"Is this cold dish really so delicious?"

"There's something to try over there, why don't you try it. Let me tell you, his cold dishes are absolutely amazing. I used to work in a big hotel, and the cold dishes served in the hotel are not half as good as his."

"Okay, just look at the popularity. When have the big and small girls in our town suffered? Look at the long queue."

"Hey, yes, I'll hurry up."

Zhao Danshi and Li Ping were so busy mixing and collecting money that they were almost dripping with sweat.

In less than an hour, their cold dishes were almost sold out, and even the braised eggs and braised pork that were expected to be unpopular were only a little left.

Zhao Danshi had to raise his voice and shout: "The folks behind don't have to queue up, my cold dishes are almost sold out."

"Ah? It's selling so fast, why don't you get more dishes to sell?"

"Forgive me." Zhao Danshi still had time to chat with others while mixing, "Isn't this the first time I'm inexperienced? I'll order more dishes in the next episode."

To be honest, ten yuan a catty of cold dishes is really not cheap in their town, and he didn't expect it to be so popular.

After another ten minutes, all his dishes were sold out, even the basin was emptied.The little sauce left on the bottom of the basin told the customer to take it back, saying that he wanted to take it back and mix it with cold dishes to eat by himself.

Miao Yingzhuo watched the whole process, and came to help them pack up after they finished selling the cold dishes.

"Hey, you said that a capable person is capable. You sell so well in everything you do. Do you have any experience to pass on?"

"What experience can I have? My dishes are good, I use enough ingredients, and the craftsmanship is good. If you say that my business is not good, then it is unreasonable, right?"

"That's the reason." An old lady next to them listened to their words and chimed in, "Your food doesn't know how to grow it, but it's better than other people's food. Shan Shi, the vegetables you use are really from Did you buy it for thousands of dollars from a university professor?"

Zhao Shanshi smiled and explained, "It's not as exaggerated as thousands of dollars, but it's not cheap either."

Seeing that the aunt had opened the conversation, she immediately followed up and asked: "Then how do you sell your seeds? Why don't you save some seeds and sell them to us?"

"Yes, yes," the people nearby also gathered around, "We don't sell vegetables, so we grow some to eat."

"Yes, don't worry, whoever grows your vegetables competes with you for business, we will be anxious with him!"

Zhao Shanshi didn't expect them to put their ideas on their own seeds, "My vegetables are really hard to save seeds. Even if I give the seeds to you, I'm afraid the vegetables they grow will not be as good as mine. I'm still a human being. Under the guidance, we are groping about planting. You see, we two young men only planted more than ten acres of land, and we worked there in the morning and night, and in the end we only planted such a la carte. It is not worthwhile for you to plant this."

"It's okay, it's not good if it's not planted well, we'll eat it at home." The aunt said enthusiastically: "We won't ask you for the seeds in vain, we will buy them from you when the time comes, ten yuan and 20 yuan a pack, you can ask for the price. "

Zhao Shanshi spread his hands, "It's not that I don't like it, I really can't help it. Look at the corn seeds we grow every year, why don't we save them ourselves, and buy them from other companies every year? The seeds they gave me have been processed , if you keep the seeds, they are not as good as ordinary seeds, and you will spend time and effort planting them, and you will not be able to get them back at all, so what are you going to do?"

"That's right, so there's really no way?"

"It's not really impossible. Wait for me to grow the seeds for a few years to see if I can grow the seeds. When the time comes, I may be able to bring some seeds to everyone."

Hearing what he said, everyone had no choice but to nod regretfully, and stopped asking questions.

Zhao Danshi packed up his things, packed the banknotes with Li Ping, called Zhao Liwei, and asked him to come and pick them up.
