The Crossing of Fortune and Prayer Jubilee

Not long after, Lou Chengyi led Lou Ming back, smiled and handed the bamboo to Lou Yuzhu: "Brother Yu, let's see if it works?"

Lou Yuzhu looked at it, and saw that the microorganisms on the surface of the stone snail lion had been washed off to reveal a smooth shell, so she nodded in satisfaction: "Yes, it's done. Dad, don't go fishing today, help me get the butt of the stone snail lion Cut it off and rub it twice, I’ll use it later.” The three of them can do the job with a modern vise, but it’s a pity that not to mention the vise, even the scissors are rusty, only the arms and legs of the three brothers Can't cut it.

"Ah, don't catch fish?" It is his motivation to sell fish every day. If you don't catch fish, you will have no money to make. Thinking of this, Lou Chengyi feels a little uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, Dad. I didn't cut the stone snail lion for fun, but for food. If this food is done well, I may be able to make more money, which is much more stable than fishing."

Hearing that he could make more money, Lou Chengyi was overjoyed and then a little suspicious. "Really?" Wangyu earns a hundred dollars a day, and Wenlou Chengyi feels like a dream, how much more can he earn?

"It's no good for me to lie to my father." Lou Yuzhu rolled his eyes angrily: "Go, father, and finish the work early while the time is still there, so that the food can be cooked earlier."

Hearing this, Lou Chengyi was in a hurry to cut the stone snail lion.After the stone snail lion was cut and rubbed twice, Lou Yuzhu felt that it was clean, so she instructed Lou Hua to burn the fire and Lou Chengyi to support the spoon. The full oil was put into the pan to burst, and then the seasoning was added to burst out the fragrance, and then the washed stone was poured out. Snails, then add water to stew.

Soon the long scent from memory floated out, Lou Yuzhu fanned it with her hands, and asked Lou Hua next to her, "Brother, would you want to eat this scent?"

Lou Hua nodded, while Lou Ming on the other side was already nodding his head. "I want to eat, I really want to eat!"

"If you want to eat it, let's try it." Lou Yuzhu took the small bowl and asked Lou Chengyi to spoon some of it, Lou Ming was anxious to strike but Lou Hua slapped him away. "Things just out of the pan are not afraid of being hot!" Cursing in his mouth, he passed chopsticks in his hands.

Lou Ming accepted it with a smile, but when he put it in his mouth, he could taste the flavor of the shell, but he couldn't eat the snail meat inside.

Lou Yuzhu looked at it with a smile, then took the snail in a hurry and said: "Second brother, don't worry, this snail and lion meat is for you." As he spoke, he put his mouth against the mouth of the snail and gave it a hard swipe, and the snail came out to bite off the snail meat. Keep the snail shell and snail internal organs. "The viscera are inedible, they are about to be bitten off, so be careful not to suck all the viscera into your mouth."

Anyone who has eaten snails knows that no matter how smart you are when you first eat it, you will always be in a good state.

The two-pound snail sticks out slightly when it is put out of the pan and put in a bowl. The brothers and sisters lay down on the table to 'instigate' their mouths full of oil. Lou Chengyi also tried it, and even Fu Linshu couldn't help instigate One, soon a bowl of snails will see the bottom.

Lou Ming still licked his tongue, "I haven't eaten enough yet!"

"Second brother wants to eat us and we can do it later." Lou Yuzhu smiled and asked Lou Hua: "What do you think, big brother?"

"It's delicious and fragrant enough, but the meat is too small." His eyes lit up as he spoke, "Why don't we try that snail?"

Lou Yuzhu smiled: "The snail is too big and not easy to taste, and it is not as fragrant as this stone snail lion. Of course, if we have time in the future, we can also try that snail. Now we will talk about this stone snail lion. I plan to make the stone snail lion If you are ready to use a cart to sell it in the town, it will be sold for three pennies."

"One piece for three coins?" Lou Chengyi's eyes widened. This stone snail lion has always been cheap food, because the meat is too small and troublesome. ?Is it too much?I thought so in my heart and said so in my mouth.

"A piece of three papers is not expensive. If we don't sell it, we have to calculate the labor cost by ourselves. We have to change the water and spit out the sand. After that, we have to scrub, and finally we have to cut the buttocks. Each process takes a lot of time, and that Oil, salt and seasoning costs are only a penny and a half. And I plan to find a carpenter to build a cart and two sets of small tables and stools, which will cost a lot of money." Lou Yuzhu thought carefully , each copy is about a catty, and with the purchasing power of Huya Town, it shouldn’t be a problem to sell 240 copies a day. Multiplying 120 copies by three is 12 renminbi, and half of the profit is [-] renminbi. Much profit. "I only plan to do the Shiluoshi business in the afternoon. In the morning we can also sell the fish online. When the fish is sold out, we can just do the snail." The profits of both sides add up to two hundred yuan a day. After a month, I can earn [-] taels, which is much better than relying on the fields to eat!

"Can you still sell fish?"

"Of course." The fish market is also very profitable, so of course you can't give up.

Hearing that he could still sell fish, Lou Chengyi felt a lot more at ease, and he was less opposed to Shiluoshi's business when he felt at ease.

Seeing that Lou Chengyi was not so conflicted, Lou Chengyi turned to Fu Linshu: "What do you think, father?"

Fu Linshu laughed, and the children naturally raised their hands in favor of fighting him. "Brother Yu, you should try this method. It's just that the snails just now are a bit old. It would be better if you cook them tender. Also, this dish should be eaten hot. Better think about how to keep the snails warm."

"I've already considered this. I'm going to order an iron stove. It won't be a problem if I bring enough charcoal."

Lou Hua thought for a while: "Then we need to buy a bigger iron pot."

"Yes, there is also an iron spoon. If you take home to eat, use the bamboo bucket laminated with oil paper, and if you eat at the stall, use a bowl. You also need to buy a good wooden basin and prepare hot water for the food at the stall. Customers wash their hands and face." Those with clumsy mouths can't suck it out, so they can only use their hands, and it doesn't look good to have greasy hands and mouth after eating.

Thinking of buying so many things, Lou Chengyi felt a little distressed about the money, hesitatingly said: "Actually, I can bear the burden and sell them, and I don't need to spend so much money to make them." Don't you lose money if you don't sell well?

"Since we are doing serious business, of course we must prepare some serious things. It's not a good idea to carry the burden of something that comes into your mouth right away. People who are so particular will worry that our things are not clean." There are serious people. Setting up a stall in a local area will give people a feeling that they cannot escape, and they will feel at ease in their hearts.

"The method of instigating snails is simple, will someone learn how to do it at home?"

"The method is simple but troublesome. You need to change the water, spit out the sand, scrub it clean, and finally cut your butt. Unless there are servants, who cares about it?" Lou Yuzhu is not worried about this.If you learn to cook by yourself, you must be the one who loves to eat. If you love to eat and find that it is troublesome to cook and it is not as delicious as theirs, why don’t you remember to buy it every day?There are a lot of rich people in the town, so what you spend for three Wen is the money for three meat buns?

"Then someone sold it?" Lou Hua was worried about this.

Hearing this, Lou Yuzhu smiled: "Anything in the world will be learned by someone. Could it be that someone will stop doing this business after learning it? There is no reason for that. Besides, there is motivation when there is competition. As long as we always use enough ingredients and the taste is good, we are not afraid of customers choosing us." away from home."

Get rid of this last worry, and the business of Solo is settled.The next morning when Lou Chengyi finished selling the fish, he went to the carpenter to order carts and tables, and then went to the blacksmith to order an iron stove and cauldron. This cost is nearly two taels of silver.Fortunately, the next day was going to the market, and two nets of fish were sold for more than a tael, which made Lou Chengyi feel better.

Two days later, everything was ready. On the same day, Lou Yuzhu asked Lou Chengyi to prepare forty catties of snails, put them in a pot and carry them to the town, took out the cart from the place where they kept them, and placed them on the table after finding a place.It was the first time for Lou Ming to set up a stall of Lou Yuzhu belt, because he was more courageous than Lou Hua, energetic and open-minded, and he would not blush when eating soy snails in public. up.

After raising the fire and putting the pot on, Lou Chengyi still couldn't help feeling uneasy.

Lou Yuzhu gave Lou Ming a wink, and the other party immediately shouted loudly.

"I'm selling snails~ I'm selling snails~ The delicious snails only cost three pennies apiece!"

This hawking coupled with the aroma wafting from the pot immediately attracted people to surround him. "This thing is called a snail? Hey, isn't it the stone snail lion? This thing is a cheap thing. No one wanted it for a penny in the past! Isn't it a bit expensive for you to sell three pennies?"

"Uncle, we sell three penny more expensive than that one penny, but look, how clean is our washing and how much food is put in? The oil alone is a lot of money!" When he stepped forward to ask, he could answer unambiguously. "Besides, this is a fresh food. Uncle, have you ever seen it in other places? I'm sure you'll still want to eat it! Why don't you try it, uncle?" As he spoke, he asked Lou Chengyi to scoop out a few of them, and Lou Ming immediately picked them up. Sheng said: "Uncle, this thing is called a snail. It has a unique way of eating. I will teach you. Use chopsticks to block the mouth of the snail and suck it into your mouth. Be careful not to suck all the internal organs."

Lou Ming has eaten snails several times in the past few days, and he has already practiced his mouth skills.

When they heard that they could taste the chopsticks, several people put on the chopsticks, but seeing how easy it was for Lou Ming to inhale, but they were so useless that they couldn’t inhale it. Some of them wondered if it was broken.

Lou Ming was not in a hurry, and said crisply: "Uncle imitated me and used chopsticks to stuff the snail meat in and then suck it, blocking the mouth of the snail, paying attention! I couldn't suck it out when I first ate it, but after eating more One can be sucked out!"

The hard work paid off, and someone finally sucked it out. If there was the first one, there would be a second one. The few ones to be tasted were all sucked out, and the small half of the bowl of snails was drained.If that person threatened her again, she would be stupefied. When she looked up, Lou Yuzhu smiled and said, "Do you want to buy one, Uncle? Three pennies, it's really not expensive!"

Anyone who has just eaten snails knows that the addiction can't be stopped once it hits two catties, not to mention it is the end of the day, when lunch is just digested and the stomach is almost empty, how can anyone with that spare money care about it? Three pennies?

"Okay, give me one!"

"Give me one too!"

"And I!"

Lou Yuzhu collected money in an orderly manner while busy, Lou Chengyi plated and packed, and Lou Ming was in charge of delivering and cleaning up the food on the table. The bustling appearance attracted more people, and they called for a portion after the tasting , soon the forty-pound snails will be bottomed out!
