Chapter 67： First time selling a stall

Chapter 67: First appearance at the stall

When Jiang Ning heard this, he immediately understood Yang Datou's plan, "You want Ye Zi to come over and set up a stall with you? Can you afford it?"

"No problem!" Yang Datou nodded excitedly, "Let's put it as far away as possible. If it's not near Linjiang Inn, it'll be fine. And the things we make don't conflict with Linjiang Inn. The flower shopkeeper won't say anything, but the leaves are not good. I live here, so I want to rent a small yard outside.”

Liu Ye knew from looking at Yang Datou that he had been planning for a long time. She also knew that Yang Datou was not the kind of reckless person. Since he said so, there was a high probability that setting up a stall would really make money.

Jiang Ning still had concerns, "Is it safe for you to let a woman like Ye Zi set up a stall?"

Yang Datou hurriedly said: "Ye Zi is in the daytime. I will go and take over when I get off the stove. There should be a lot of outsiders in Songxi Town. There is a mix of good and bad. They are directly under the county government. There are government officials patrolling twelve hours a day. They are on the street almost all the time." You can see a wave of patrolling government officials passing by in a few minutes. As long as we do our jobs and pay what is due, we will be fine. "

Jiang Ning looked surprised, "Since when have there been so many government officials here?"

She remembered that it was not like this when she came back last time.

"This is also arranged by the new county magistrate." Yang Datou said.

Looking at him, it was clear that he admired the county magistrate very much.

At this time, Jiang Ning really had no reason to object, and his tone softened, "Then what business are you planning to do?"

"Auntie, don't I want to discuss this with you!" Yang Datou just had no ideas and blind confidence in Jiang Ning. He really couldn't think of anything he could do to eat.

Jiang Ning was speechless.

Liu Ye said weakly: "Auntie, do you think it's possible to make Thousand Layer Salted Cake?"

“Thousand-layer salted cake?” Yang Datou had never eaten it and looked confused.

Jiang Ning ignored him and muttered: "It would be okay to make this kind of food, but it's too simple. It's best to have a few more flavors. Then I'll teach you when the yard is rented."

“Thank you, Auntie!” Liu Ye narrowed her eyes happily.

Yang Datou saw that the matter was settled, and hurriedly went to the flower shopkeeper to talk about renting the yard.

Shopkeeper Hua frowned and said in confusion, "There are many rooms in the backyard, so there is no need to live out there!"

Yang Datou said with a smile: "Although I say this, my mother-in-law is not from the inn after all. She also has to cook and wash herself on weekdays. She has been living in the inn. After a long time, other people will feel uncomfortable seeing her, so it is better to move out. It just so happens that she can’t sit still and wants to do something else.”

The flower shopkeeper also knew what Yang Datou said, so he had no choice but to agree, and asked his cousin to help him rent a courtyard near the main street in the town. The courtyard was a bit big. In addition to the main room and kitchen, there were two wing rooms. A wing room is a small courtyard, and the owner's rent is one hundred cents a month.

Jiangning found it too expensive, but the cheaper ones were either too far away from the main street or had to live with the owner's family, which did not meet their requirements. In the end, they had no choice but to settle on this small courtyard.

Jiang Ning and Liu Ye cleaned up the house inside and out that day. Yang Datou came back from cooking in the evening and moved everything in.

The next day, Jiang Ning went to Linjiang Inn to teach Yang Datou how to cook. This was the time when the carp was in full bloom. Yesterday, she saw a lot of fresh carp in the back kitchen of Linjiang Inn, but the cooking methods were all steamed. In fact, carp It will be more delicious when made into sweet and sour sauce and stewed in sauce. The essence of these two dishes is still in the sauce. As long as Yang Datou has a firm grasp of the sauce recipe and cooking method, he will not be afraid of others learning it. .

Shopkeeper Hua was really watching when she was teaching Yang Datou how to cook. When she saw the sauce Jiang Ning brought, she knew it was his unique recipe, so she didn't ask any more questions and waited for the sweet and sour carp and the braised carp in soy sauce to come out of the pot. , Linjiang Inn had two new dishes on display that day.

The mushrooms Jiang Ning brought were all taken away by Shopkeeper Hua and exchanged for more than a thousand coins. New dishes were served at Linjiang Inn, and Yang Datou was even busier. Jiang Ning left alone, walked around the street, bought the ingredients for making Thousand Layer Salty Cake and Thousand Layer Sweet Cake, and went to the harbor to ask around. She asked for some leftover shrimps from the fishermen. Because she needed a small stone grinder and a large steamer, she asked about the stonemason's house and specially ordered a pair of stone grinders. She went to the grocery store and ordered a steamer of the largest size. The money I just earned is worth spending a fortune.

Liu Ye knows all the steps to make Thousand Layer Salted Cake, so Jiang Ning mainly teaches Thousand Layer Sweet Cake.

The difference between the two is actually in the ingredients. The salty cake is made with salt, scallion oil and peanuts, while the sweet cake is made with peanuts, sesame and brown sugar. The ingredients are more expensive and the price is higher.

Jiang Ning gave guidance and let Liu Ye do it by himself. Although he was a little confused for the first time, fortunately, the master was by his side and there was no trouble. After two hours, Liu Ye finally made a large pot of Thousand Layer Cake.

After this first experience, she was obviously much more skilled in making sweet cakes. By the time the sweet cakes were out of the pot, it was almost dark.

Jiang Ning thought for a while, then gritted her teeth and went out to inquire about setting up a stall. When she learned that as long as she paid two cents for the stall fee, she could set up whatever she wanted. She immediately decided to set up a stall tonight.

What should I do if I don’t have a scale? I can only use the old method and make a simple weighing method myself. The oil paper is always bought on the spot.

The two of them spotted a place, randomly put two pieces of wood together, put the things on it, and that was it.

Liuye's heart pounded as she looked at it, "Mommy, can this be done? Will anyone buy it?"

“Don’t worry! The aroma of wine is not afraid of the alley! Our rice dumplings are all freshly made and are still hot. People will come to inquire about the smell!” Jiang Ning is quite confident in himself.

No, as soon as I finished speaking, someone immediately gathered around me and asked curiously, "What is the aunt selling?"

“Thousand-layer salty cake, thousand-layer sweet cake, do you want to try one? The real ingredients are suitable for all ages, especially the elderly and children. They can all be eaten!” Jiang Ning tried his best to promote it.

Liu Ye lowered her head shyly on the side, trying hard to say something but couldn't say anything. She couldn't speak as naturally and neatly as Jiang Ning, and she was immediately discouraged.

As soon as the other party heard that this thing was suitable for the elderly and children, he wanted to buy it and asked, "How to sell it?"

“We sell them by the pound. The salty rice cakes cost two cents per catty, and the sweet rice cakes cost three cents per catty. You can try it first.” Jiang Ning couldn’t help but get a small piece for the other party, both sweet and salty.

The other party thought it was expensive at first, so he tasted it and ordered a pound each of salty and sweet. Five cents was paid, which was a good start.

Jiang Ning became more and more excited and shouted at the top of his lungs. After a while, people came over one after another, some spending money and some watching the fun.

In short, the business of their stall is not very good, but it is not deserted either.

Yang Datou hurried home after getting off the stove. On the way, he heard Jiang Ning's cry for a drink and hurriedly looked for him. When he saw Jiang Ning and Liu Ye coming out of the stall, he was so shocked that he hurried over to help.

“Why didn’t you tell me when you left the stall?” Yang Datou asked as he handed Liuye the oil paper.

Liu Ye was too busy to look at him, "Is it useful to tell you? You can't get out!"

Yang Datou thought about it, it was really true, and immediately scratched his head in embarrassment, "How many have you done? How much is left?"
