The splendid life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 49 Clams
The staple food was steamed buns and steamed buns. After Yao Yu put the dishes on the table, she called Nuo Er to come and eat.

Nuo'er looked at the clam curiously, he had seen this thing in the river before, "What's this called?"

"This is a clam, fished out of the river." Yao Yu said, "When you eat a clam, you must eat it with your mouth open. If you don't open your mouth, it means that it will die before it goes into the pot." But she didn't choose the clams for the soup, the dead ones were all together.

Nuoer picked one up, put it in his mouth and ate it slowly, freshness was the first impression, adding soybean paste, onion and ginger, made the clams extremely fragrant, Nuoer filled another small bowl of soup, this clam soup was unexpected It is no worse than fish soup, and it is extremely delicious, although it has a little fishy smell.

"How is it?" Yao Yu was still a little worried that Nuo'er might not be used to eating.

Nuoer nodded, "It's delicious."

Only then did Yao Yu start eating, and the two ate up the clams. The next day, when Aunt Wu and Wang Fengzhen came, Yao Yu showed them the clams.

"Isn't this something from the river?" Aunt Wu said.

Yao Yu asked, "You said I'm selling this, does anyone buy it?"

Wang Fengzhen shook her head, "I don't know, but sister, can this thing be eaten?"

Yao Yu sighed, "Of course I can eat it."

It's just that Aunt Wu and Wang Fengzhen responded to her with unbelievable eyes.Sure enough, after Yao Yu brought the clams to the town, he fried a plate of clams and put them there for free tasting, but no one dared to try them. Yao Yu sighed, it seems that this method will not work.

Seeing Yao Yu's frowning face, Aunt Wu said, "Don't worry about it, not everyone can be like Bafang Inn."

Yao Yu was taken aback. Bafang Inn hadn't heard this name for a long time, "What does Aunt Wu mean by that?"

"The two most famous inns in Hehua Town are Bafang Inn and Manchuan Inn. For a long time, the two inns have been competing equally. Until last year, Bafang Inn got a prescription called fish cake. This business, It is getting more and more prosperous, and the Manchuan Inn, which was originally comparable to the Bafang Inn, is also behind by a lot because of this fish cake." Aunt Wu said, "But this fish cake, I have eaten it once, there is no thorn, and the taste is really good After finishing speaking, Aunt Wu still smacked her lips, as if she missed this taste very much, and she was just lucky to only have a small piece.

Yao Yu was a little stunned. How long had it been since I heard of Bafang Inn? So there was such a story in it, but I didn’t expect her fish cake method to be so useful. It’s a pity for Manchuan Inn.

Wang Fengzhen knew about the fish cake because she had delivered fish to the Bafang Inn, but Wang Fengzhen didn’t know that the fish cake was Yao Yu’s method. But besides kamaboko, they also sell fish crystals."

Fish Crystal?It took Yao Yu a while to realize that it was Yudongzi.

After selling the things, Yao Yu was going to take the clams in the wooden basin back home. When passing by Dongshi, he saw the Manchuan Inn and suddenly stopped the cart, "Sister Fengzhen and Aunt Wu are still busy? Can you wait for me? "

"It's all right, you go to work first, we just happened to be shopping in the town." Aunt Wu said, she got her wages a few days ago and wanted to buy something for a long time, but she never had the chance, let alone Wang Fengzhen. I want to take a look, but I don't have many opportunities to come to the town before, and I am not familiar with this place.

"Okay, we'll gather here and return to Shuangshui Village in an hour's time," Yao Yu said.

"Okay." Wang Fengzhen and Aunt Wu went shopping.

Yao Yu turned around and entered the Manchuan Inn with the wooden basin in his arms. As soon as he entered, the shop waiter greeted him. Yao Yu asked directly, "Is your innkeeper here?"

The waiter hurriedly said, "Please sit inside, I'll go find our shopkeeper Nie."

Yao Yu sat down at the table closest to the door, and began to look at the Manchuan Inn. Speaking of which, the decoration gave people a very comfortable feeling. Although it was not as gorgeous as the Bafang Inn, it was a little more warm , Yao Yu was thinking, would it be different if the fish cakes were sold to Manchuan Inn, but there are so many ifs in life.

"But you're looking for me?" A middle-aged man walked up to Yao Yu, looking very friendly, he should be the shopkeeper Nie that the waiter said.

"It's like this. I have a way to eat and want to make a move. I don't know if your inn will accept it?" Yao Yu explained directly.

The shopkeeper did not refuse immediately, but sat across from him, "I want to ask, what is the method about."

Yao Yu said, "I brought the ingredients, I don't know if you can borrow me the kitchen of your inn." No matter how much you say, it's better to actually make it, let the other party taste it, how it tastes, and whether it is worth buying .

"It's no problem." Shopkeeper Nie personally led Yao Yu into the kitchen, and then shielded a group of people.

For this behavior, Yao Yu was a little grateful. The Manchuan Inn did not rely on the size of the store, but deliberately used excuses to keep people to watch Yao Yu cook.Yao Yu fished out the clams, fried them quickly, and then took them out and put them on the table. The shopkeeper was a little puzzled when he saw this plate of food.

Yao Yu explained, and then ate one with chopsticks to prove that it was not a big thing to eat. Shopkeeper Nie had seen this thing in the river, but no one had eaten it, but he could smell the aroma from the plate , couldn't help but took a bite and fed it into his mouth.The mouthfeel is extremely mellow, coupled with the fresh and tender meat of this clam, shopkeeper Nie couldn't help but admire, "I don't know how to sell this method?"

Yao Yu thought about it. This method is the same as fish cakes. It sells for 30 taels. "I have a request before selling. I want to taste the fried clams. One of them is the reason for this sauce."

The shopkeeper nodded. The sauce is one reason, but it is an excellent way to provide this clam to eat. For this reason, he has to buy this way. It can’t help but be this way, and more importantly, he came up with this way people, "Indeed."

"I don't want to sell this sauce, but I can sign an agreement with the expensive inn to sell it at 30 taels per catty, and I can't sell it to other places. As for the clams, I want to sell them for [-] taels of silver." Yao Yu After finishing speaking, he looked at the shopkeeper.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper nodded, "I can agree to these."

Yao Yu didn't expect the shopkeeper to be so talkative, so he immediately asked someone to bring a pen and paper to write out the method, "Because the clams are fished out of the river, there is a lot of sand, so you must soak the clams in salted water before putting them into the pot. in the water so that the sand is cleared."

The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly. Yao Yu really needed to be reminded of the way to deal with it, otherwise they might just throw it into the pot after they salvaged it.

Yao Yu wrote two recipes, one for fried clams and one for clam soup. The shopkeeper also drew up an agreement. Seeing that Yao Yu also presented a recipe, he nodded repeatedly.Yao Yu looked at the agreement and felt that there was no objection, so he signed it.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "My surname is Nie, I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."

Yao Yu felt that shopkeeper Nie was much more reliable than shopkeeper Wen. If her own shop was not too small, in fact, she still wanted to keep it for herself. Go to the Yao family in the West Market to buy it early."

Shopkeeper Nie didn't seem surprised at all, he directly said yes, then walked Yao Yu to the door and watched Yao Yu leave.

Yao Yu walked down the steps and suddenly asked, "By the way, if someone comes to sell clams, can shopkeeper Nie accept them?"

Shopkeeper Nie nodded, "If someone buys it, I'll collect it for ten cents per catty."

"Then thank you, Shopkeeper Nie."

After Yao Yu left, the waiter in the store asked the shopkeeper Nie puzzledly, "Shopkeeper, I think the sauce is the most valuable in that way, but without the sauce, is this method worth 30 taels of silver?"

Shopkeeper Nie looked mysterious, "You don't know that. If I'm not wrong, the fish cake should also be made by this woman." Even if it wasn't, the whole town bought a pair of 30 taels It's worth it if you don't know the way.

Yao Yu led the ox cart out, and Aunt Wu and Wang Fengzhen came over with big and small bags, "It seems that the harvest is not bad."

Aunt Wu glanced at Wang Fengzhen, "The main reason is that she was shopping along the way, so I couldn't help it."

Wang Fengzhen said with a smile, "It's been a long time since I visited Hehua Town." She had no money in the past, so how dare she be like this now, and now she has two taels of silver a month, so how can she not buy something to treat herself .

After Yao Yu drove the ox cart out of Hehua Town, he straightened his expression and said to the two, "I have a way to make money, and you can let your family members do it."

Wang Fengzhen immediately became interested. Yao Yu said that making money must be a lot of money. Aunt Wu was a little excited. If anyone in the village knew how to make money, they would be smothered. How could they just say it directly.

"It's the Manchuan Inn, which collects clams at ten cents a catty, but I don't know how much they charge." After all, Yao Yu didn't know if anyone would come to eat them with the Manchuan Inn's promotional methods, so she also There is no guarantee how much Manchuan will charge at once. "You all know this method yourself. Don't let it out. Firstly, there are limited clams in the river. Secondly, everyone is hunting clams. The price will naturally come down."

Wang Fengzhen knew that Yao Yu's method was credible through fishing, but Aunt Wu didn't know it before, so she was stunned and said, "This, this clam can also be sold for money?"

Yao Yu nodded, "Whether to sell or not is your business, I only provide the method." Xie Zhimo is not at home, and Yao Yu does not have so much time to salvage clams every day, so it is better to tell Wang Fengzhen and Aunt Wu the method.

Wang Fengzhen said, "Sister, I really don't know how to repay you for being so kind to us."

Aunt Wu nodded, but she didn't know how to express her gratitude.

"People are mutual. Sister Fengzhen took good care of me back then, and Aunt Wu helped me a lot when I was in the most difficult time." Yao Yu said with a smile.

Aunt Wu blushed, unexpectedly Yao Yu would still remember those little things, Aunt Wu secretly made a decision in her heart, she must follow Yao Yu well.

Yao Yu didn't expect such a sentence to be exchanged for a person's sincerity and sincerity, but her principle of life is like this. If a person treats me well, I return two points, so it is not surprising to meet someone like Aunt Wu .
