Wang's little lady

Chapter 51 Cooperation Three

We have finished talking about the jelly, but Shopkeeper Wu of the braised food doesn’t seem to be interested.

"Shopkeeper Wu, may I ask what you think of this braised food?"

Shopkeeper Wu glanced at the braised food on the table and expressed his opinion.

"Thank you, girl, actually your braised food tastes really good."

"But if I'm not wrong, since you use pig offal as the ingredient and sell it at a stall, in order to save costs, you may not be using enough spices?"

Hongdou couldn't help but sigh, no wonder he could be the shopkeeper for so many years. It's really not just his age that will suffice.

"You have a good eye."

"But if it is sold in a restaurant, I will not be able to continue to use pigs in the water. I will have to replace it with good meat. The cost of this dish will be much higher."

"Although I am in charge of the restaurant, most of the people who come to eat in town are guests with some spare money. The daily amount of this dish will not be too large."

Dishes that are not large in quantity will not be included in the restaurant after comprehensive consideration.

"As for the really wealthy guests, they have hired chefs at home, and they only book private dining rooms when they occasionally come to the restaurant to discuss business, so..."

He is an outlier like Mr. Zhao, he likes to run out all day, and if he has the money, he is willing to eat every meal.

In the final analysis, consumption in the town cannot increase.

"If it were in the county town, I could eat this braised food business."

After listening to what Shopkeeper Wu said, Hongdou was filled with admiration.

She had tried the braised food several times before she finally got the taste right, and it cost a lot of money.

The things on the stalls naturally attract the corresponding consumer groups.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Wu, for your advice."

"Let's not talk about the sale of braised meat for now. If you receive distinguished guests later and need such a dish, you can ask me to customize it in advance and I will make it and deliver it."

You should also form a good relationship.

"Yes, yes, hahaha."

The two of them left the restaurant, and Hongdou took Xiaoya to the blacksmith shop.

I haven't seen Aunt Li for several days, and I don't know what she has been busy with recently.

In the iron shop, Zhang Dazhuang and his father Zhang were busy wielding hammers.

"Girl, do you want to hit something?"

Zhang Dazhuang saw the two girls staring outside the door for a long time, neither coming in nor coming forward to talk, so he took the initiative to talk to them.

Hongdou then walked closer and stood at the door of the shop and said, "Boss, excuse me, we are here to see Aunt Li. I wonder if she is here?"

Old man Zhang couldn't help but be curious when he heard that he was looking for his old woman.

He put down his work and went to the stall.

"Girl, that is my wife, what are you doing with her?"

"Uncle, my family sells cold noodles and jelly. I have something to discuss with Aunt Li. Could you please help me lead the way?"

"Don't worry, it's not a bad thing."

Old man Zhang and his son looked at each other, selling cold noodles and jelly?

Could it be the stall where the old lady used to buy things?

Zhang Dazhuang also remembered that everyone in his family liked the food at that stall.

The two little girls who came in were probably not looking for trouble.

"You walk along this street, turn left and go into the first alley. The second house is right there."

After Hongdou learned the address, he bowed and left with Xiaoya.

Zhang Dazhuang: "Dad, isn't my mother not at home?"

Old Man Zhang: "...I forgot."

The two of them then came to the door of Aunt Li's house and knocked on the door.

At this time, only Aunt Li's daughter-in-law, Xiao Li, and Aunt Li's grandson, Tie Ban, were at home.

Tie Ban was only a few years old, and he was at a cute age. He followed his mother, looked at the stranger outside the door, and asked in a sweet voice:

"Who are you looking for?" "Are you a tough guy? I heard your grandma talking about you. You are indeed cute."

Hongdou handed the candied haws that she bought specially on the road to Tiepan, and then said to Xiao Li: "Are you... my aunt?"

"Girl, this is..." Little Li didn't know Hongdou and Xiaoya. In the past, her mother-in-law went out shopping, and she mainly watched her son at home.

It took many years of marriage to have such a child, and the whole family cherishes it.

"Auntie, my surname is Xie. You can call me Hongdou. This is Xiaoya. We set up a stall selling cold noodles and jelly in the town."

As soon as Hongdou revealed his identity, Xiao Li knew who it was.

"The ice powder and braised food are also yours, right?"

Xiao Li asked with a smile. Everyone in the family likes to eat food from the stall.

My mother-in-law often goes shopping. She has never had a stomachache after eating at home, and the food is always clean.

"Come in and sit."

Hongdou took Xiaoya, thanked her and followed Xiao Li into the yard.

Mrs. Li brought two bowls of water over, hugged her son and talked to the two of them: "You two ladies, are you here for something?"

Apart from buying and selling things, the two families didn't seem to have much interaction.

"My mother-in-law has something to do and has gone back to her parents' house. She won't be back until tomorrow."

Hongdou secretly said that it was a coincidence that she came here mainly for Aunt Li today.

The uncle didn't say anything about it just now.

Seeing the expressions on the two of them, Xiao Li guessed that they were coming to see her mother-in-law, and said tentatively:

"Girl, if there is nothing important, you can tell me first. I will convey it to my mother-in-law when she comes back."

Anko didn't want her trip to be in vain, and what she wanted to say wasn't a secret.

"Auntie, don't worry too much. My aunt used to come here to buy things, so we are familiar with each other. I thought it would be easier for us to talk."

"When I met my aunt today, she turned out to be as cheerful as my aunt. I tell you the same thing."

No wonder my mother-in-law had mentioned that this girl was so nice.

Now it seems that it is true.

He looks like he is only about ten years old, and he is so comfortable to talk to.

"Young girl has such a clever mouth. If you have something to say, just say it. Auntie is listening."

Hongdou organized his thoughts in his mind, and after a moment he explained his purpose.

"I'm here today. I have a small business. I want to ask if your family is interested."

When Mr. Li heard this, he thought it was the business of his family's iron shop.

She can't decide the business of the shop, "Girl, what do you want to buy? How about I take you to my shop to have a look and ask my father-in-law and the man."

"Don't worry, their craftsmanship is unparalleled."

Hongdou knew that the other party had misunderstood, and said with a smile: "Auntie, I don't buy things. It's my family's business. I want to ask if your family is interested."

"What?" Little Li was a little confused. Her family had no plans to change careers.

"Auntie, you may have heard my aunt mention once or twice that our jelly is the only one in the entire county."

"Are you willing to take the goods from me and sell them?"

Little Li hugged her son Tieban and didn't know how to answer the question.

Her family is living a good life now, and there is no need for her and her mother-in-law to go out to find work.

"Auntie, I know that your family owns a shop and your life is more than enough, but who in this world would be dissatisfied with having too much money?"

After Hongdou finished speaking, she looked at the iron plate eating candied haws. Especially those with children at home, how many people would not plan for their children?

As for ordinary people like them, the most straightforward plan is money.

With money, many things will become easier to do.

"Tie Ban looks so smart and cute. I guess he will be sent to study in a year or two?"
