I am Fugui

Chapter 24 Success!
Father Xu finished eating the two marinated eggs, opened his eyes, saw everyone looking at him, and coughed dryly, "Isn't it just a little too salty, so I can only say it."

Xu's mother chuckled twice, "Then you see Fugui's business, can you do it or not?"

"It's definitely possible, this marinated egg is so delicious!" Lai Shun couldn't help but licked his lips as he savored the taste in his mouth.

At this moment, he already had some regrets, he shouldn't have eaten all the two eggs, at least one of them was reserved for lunch to eat sweet potatoes.

After eating such a delicacy, eating that sweet potato again is more uncomfortable than killing him.

However, there seems to be a section of large intestine marinated in the pot!
In the past, he would never have eaten such things as pig offal, not to mention whether it stinks or not.

But now that he had tasted braised meat for the first time, he felt that if the large intestine had been marinated, it didn't seem unacceptable.

Besides, the large intestine was cleaned by himself, so how could he not know if it was clean or not?

Chang Gen didn't speak, but kept nodding, with a smile on his lips, and silently went to the stove to light the fire.

Chang Gen seldom talks at home, and has been doing things silently, cutting sheep grass, feeding chickens and ducks, lighting fires, and sweeping the floor. Although he can't do too much heavy work, he has been doing his best to create his own value.

Father Xu pondered for a while, and finally let go, saying: "It can be sold, but I don't know if those people in the city will accept it."

"It's so delicious, why don't you accept it?" Lai Shun asked.

Xu's father glanced at him, "It's a one-sided thing, your master and I have seen a lot, so I naturally know about lo-mei, but others don't."

"If it were you, if there was a sudden clamor on the street selling something you didn't know about, would you buy it?"

Laishun tilted his head and thought for a while, then grinned and said, "If it was in the past, the young master and I would definitely try something new. In the past, the young master and I visited all the places in the county, and only the county magistrate didn't dare. go."

Father Xu tapped his bald head with his fingers together, "I'm talking about ordinary people, they don't have so much money."

"Then I don't know. Anyway, if I go to the county now, I definitely won't buy it." Lai Shun said honestly, he couldn't understand the empathy.

Xu Fugui was silent. He already understood what his father meant. Although lo mei has been passed down for a long time, but in a small place like Yunxi County, few people at the bottom have heard of it, let alone someone who has eaten it. It is a new thing. .

This has an advantage and a disadvantage. The advantage is that this market is blank and completely uncompetitive.

The downside is that people don't know whether people can accept this new food like lo-mei, and how quickly they can accept it.

However, this smell is not insurmountable, he can just follow the gourd painting.

The boss of the lo mei in the previous life learned the craft outside, and at the beginning it was under the guise of free tasting.

After people tried it, the taste was really good, and the reputation naturally spread, and the business became more and more popular.

This is especially true for people in this era, who cannot refuse free things.

After he brought up this idea, Lai Shun had a painful expression on his face, "I don't even want to eat it, and I give it to others for free."

Father Xu is a landlord at any rate, and his knowledge is not on the same level as that of ordinary people. After thinking about it carefully, he nodded in agreement.

He tasted the stewed eggs just now, but his mouth became more greedy, and he was thinking about the pig intestines in the pot.

Even he is like this. After other people try it, they will naturally have the desire to buy it.

Moreover, there are quite a few rich people in Yunxi County. They have more or less heard of such things as lo mei, and there should be many customers who have money to buy them.

In this way, the lo-mei business seems to be doing well.

"Then what are you going to marinate? What's the price?"

Xu Fugui thought about this last night, "Pigs' heads and sheep's heads, the parallel imports of pigs and sheep, these are cheap goods, and add some eggs and duck eggs."

"For marinated vegetables, if you can find mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms in the mountains, just marinate them, and if you don't have them, forget it."

He grinned and continued: "And this pot of brine can be used all the time, and the taste will get better and better."

"How about the price?"

"Triple the amount of stewed meat, and double the amount of stewed vegetables." Xu Fugui said, the same price as the stewed meat in his previous life.

Laishun gasped, he watched his young master cook it with his own eyes, and the cost was only that, if he sold it, he would make a lot of profit.

Father Xu got up and walked back to his own room. When he came out, he held six silver dollars in his hand, "This is the last property of the family. You can watch it yourself."

Xu Fugui took the silver dollar and joked, "Father, I remember you still have two golden beans."

Father Xu stared, "Bastard, don't even think about it, this is a family heirloom, and don't even think about Jiazhen's gold bracelet."

These two golden beans and the gold bracelet are really the last property of the Xu family.

Unless it is unnecessary, it must not be used.

No matter what era, the value of gold is definitely the strongest.

Xu's father also wondered, except for Xu's mother, no one knew how this bastard found his two golden beans.

He subconsciously looked at Xu's mother suspiciously.

"Hmph, a loving mother has many failures."

Xu's mother was stunned. Although she doted on her son, she also knew her son's nature, but she never told him about it.

Xu Fugui waved his hand with a smile, and returned three silver dollars to Father Xu, "I'm just guessing, I can't use six silver dollars, three is enough."

While talking, the large intestine was finally marinated, so he picked it up and cut it into a plate, each of them tasted a piece.

There is no peculiar smell of large intestine at all, the aroma is tangy, the taste is smooth and chewy, and everyone wonders if they are eating large intestine.

Then Xu's mother was reluctant to eat it, saying that she would save it for lunch, and it was too extravagant to eat dry braised meat.

And that pot of brine naturally became a treasure in everyone's eyes. Xu's mother told him to buy a new pot when he went to the county town to cook the braised meat.

Xu Fugui responded, called Xu's father and Laishun, and prepared to build a lo-mei stall.

In order to speed up, the only remaining wooden table in the house was directly remodeled. A bamboo peng was installed on it, and linen was hung on it, which can be used to cover rain, dust and mosquitoes.

At noon, he saw Chen Yunsheng coming home, and walked over to let him taste the remaining pig intestines.

Chen Yunsheng's reaction was no different from that of Laishun and the others. At first, he was a little skeptical about the yellow-brown large intestine, but after taking a bite, his eyes lit up instantly, and he kept praising it.

"Fifth brother, if you go to slaughter pigs in the future, you can keep the pigs, sheep, pigs' heads and sheep's heads for me. I will buy them at the market price."

When Chen Yunsheng learned that he was going to the county town to do lo-mei business, he didn't refuse, and he agreed directly, and sold the pork offal that he just brought back to him, even if it was at the market price, it was still very cheap.
