The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 222 Big Customer ([-])
Speaking of this meat floss, the meat used is not pork but fish, which should be called fish floss to be precise.

In order to suppress the fishy smell, Su Yunduo made a lot of hard work and selected several special medicinal materials from many medicinal materials.

Not only should the fishy smell be suppressed, but also the medicinal smell should be accepted by most people and be beneficial to the body. The medicinal materials used are of course very particular.

If this fish floss can be eaten regularly, children can strengthen their bodies, and the elderly can prolong their lives. Therefore, among all the dried meat floss that Su Yunduo gave to Ning Zhongshi, this meat floss has the highest price.

Although Ning Zhongshi had listened to Su Yunduo's recommendation and brought a catty of fish floss, he was not optimistic about it. In fact, among all the dried meat and meat floss, this fish floss was the worst-selling one, but this merchant After tasting it, the first thing I ordered was fish floss, and it cost ten catties, so I really know what to buy!
In this era, there are few people digging ponds to raise fish, and with the cold weather in the twelfth lunar month and the recent years, the source of fish is more scarce, and the price is higher than pork.

If it wasn't for the old doctor's valley with a two-acre pond, in which there are many big herrings growing natively, Su Yunduo would not have thought of making fish floss.

The fish and fish are made into meat floss, and the output ratio is lower.

One catty of pork can yield three taels of succulent floss, and a five-jin big herring can be removed from the head, tail, skin and thorns, and the remaining fish can be steamed and fried to make half a catty of fish floss.

For ten catties of fish floss, there must be at least twenty five-jin big herrings. With such a tight schedule, where would she go to buy so many big herrings?
Ning Zhongshi was stunned after hearing Su Yunduo's words. He really didn't realize that the meat floss with a faint medicinal fragrance was made of fish, and he didn't know that the cost of this meat floss was so much higher than other meat floss. When he set the price with the merchants, he was quite complacent, but now it seems that the price has been set low.

"It's true that a five catty big fish can only yield half a catty of meat floss?" Ning Huaan, who was sitting on the side listening to his father and cousin talking, couldn't help asking in surprise.

"This is still on the basis of ensuring success. At the beginning, don't say half a catty, you should laugh if you can get one or two." Su Yunduo sighed.

"Then, will I lose money at the price I set?" Ning Zhongshi asked anxiously.

"It's not a loss, it's just that the profit is not high. If the source of fish and medicinal materials can be solved, it can be done. Uncle will contact the customer and ask him if he can reduce the amount appropriately. Ask him again Are there any of these two herbs.

As for the fish, my cousin will ask Boss Qian when he delivers the vegetables to Zuixianlou tomorrow to see if he can help.

Before the fish and medicinal materials are settled, I will prepare other dried meat floss according to the customer's requirements.

Anyway, we try our best to meet the requirements of customers with quality and quantity. "Su Yunduo said with a smile, and handed over the written name of the medicinal material and the required amount of the medicinal material to Ning Zhongshi.

What Su Yunduo didn't expect was that Ning Zhongshi's efficiency was so high. As soon as it arrived at [-]:[-] on the second day, Ning Zhongshi drove the family's mule cart. In addition to the medicinal materials Su Yunduo needed, there were more than ten pieces of medicine in the cart. Each big herring that is alive and kicking weighs at least seven or eight catties.

"Uncle, where did you get so many big fish?" Seeing the fresh herring, Su Yunduo's eyes were as bright as the stars. Even if there were no such big fish in the valley of the old doctor, this was the first time she had seen the herring in the water. I saw such a big fish in this time and space.

"I didn't get these fish. Boss Zhang managed to get them." Ning Zhongshi said while moving things down.

Boss Zhang is the medicinal material dealer who ordered dried meat floss from Ning Zhongshi. When Ning Zhongshi told him about Su Yunduo's difficulties, he immediately prepared all the required medicinal materials according to the list Su Yunduo wrote, and asked the servant to take them with him. Posted to a friend of his, who lived up to expectations and sent him eighteen large herrings early this morning.

Speaking of this medicine merchant, he is also a dutiful son. Although he has been doing business outside for many years, every time the salt merchant will try his best to search for special products from all over the world to honor his parents, uncles, and father-in-law.

This time I came to Yanshan Mansion in a hurry, although I searched carefully, I still couldn't find the gift I wanted.

Seeing that it was time to go back to his hometown, he happened to discover jerky and meat floss when he was passing through Heishui Town.

Dried meat is naturally a gift for juniors and peers, while meat floss is a gift for the elderly and young children.

When Ning Zhongshi found him and said that the meat floss he had ordered the most could not be shipped, Boss Zhang became anxious immediately. It was the one he liked the most. When he asked him the reason, he was greatly relieved.

Su Yunduo happened to have the two kinds of medicinal materials that Su Yunduo was in short supply. They were relatively rare medicinal materials. They were gifts he prepared for his elders before he found dried meat floss. Yes, it's not appropriate to give medicinal materials to elders during Chinese New Year.

I didn't expect it to be used, this is probably God's will!

As for the fish, it's not a problem. He goes to Yanshan Mansion twice a year. He knows people from all walks of life. In the suburbs of Xiushui County, he met a friend who dug a pond to raise fish. It's not every time he comes to Yanshan Mansion. He would come to bother me, and only occasionally would he bring a pot of wine to chatter when he was hungry. This time, it was thanks to this friend that he was able to prepare a gift for going home.

With the medicinal materials and the fish, the production is quick. Su Yunduo asked Zisu and the two cooks to work together to remove the scales and bones. It took half a day to remove the bones of several big fish. After packing it out, Su Yunduo also prepared the seasoning according to the recipe.

Marinate the fish with seasonings, and the next step is to wait for the taste.

Naturally, it takes time for such a large fish to taste, at least it has to wait until the next day before steaming or frying.

The fish floss can only come to an end for the time being, and the meat cooked on the stove can be used for the final step of making jerky and meat floss.

Su Yunduo, Zisu, and the cook are each in charge of a stove, either roasting dried meat or making meat floss, and they are extremely busy.

"Sister, my brother-in-law is back, mother told you to go home quickly." Su Yunduo was about to take the meat floss out of the pot when Su Zexuan suddenly broke into the kitchen and shouted to her.

"My uncle is back, it's really great!" Su Yunduo was overjoyed, and quickly handed the fried meat floss to Zisu, and went down the mountain with Su Zexuan to go home.

Stepping into the main room of his own house, Ning Zhongping looked at Su Yunduo with a smile on his face, picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, and heaved a long sigh of relief, the water is still as sweet as the folks!
After taking two sips, Ning Zhongping put down his teacup, looked Su Yunduo up and down, probably saw the tired look on Su Yunduo's face, and frowned slightly: "I heard that your uncle has received a big order, and time is tight Very good, don't hurt your body because of rushing to work like last time!"

"How can it be, I already have some extra goods at home, only the fish floss needs to be made impromptu. With the help of Zisu and the cooks, I guarantee that I won't be tired. On the contrary, my uncle has lost a lot of weight. It's been a hard journey!" Su Yunduo He said with a smile, but his eyes kept looking up and down at Ning Zhongping.
