Chapter 602: Chapter 602 Going to Town to Sell
After letting these ingredients spit out the dirt throughout the night, Qiao Xiaomai began to personally teach the Zhang Family how to make Brewed Snail and Loach Soup.
With the Spiritual Spring water, the Zhang Family almost instantly mastered it. After tasting the Loach Soup she made herself, the previously gloomy face of the Zhang Family finally showed a smile.
With this skill, people would buy a bowl of her Loach Soup even for five coins.
“One Loach costs a penny, a bowl consists of five Loaches, the rest is all soup, what do you think?” she happily asked Qiao Xiaomai.
Qiao Xiaomai nodded, “It’s good, but you should sell it at the entrance of Jiji House.” Check latest chapters at NoveI~Fire.net
A Loach, head and tail removed, was only as long as her finger. This bit of meat was worth a penny, most people would not be willing to buy it.
The value of the soup is in the Spiritual Spring water, selling it for five coins, was worth it.
“At the entrance of Jiji House?” Zhang’s brow furrowed, “They may not let us set up a stall there. You often go to Jiji House, and you have a good relationship with the shopkeeper, why don’t you come with me?”
Qiao Xiaomai nodded, “No problem.”
Zhang was motherly, she had no problem dealing with such trifles.
So, Tong Sanlang loaded the wooden basin filled with Brewed Snail and wooden barrel filled with Loach Soup on the ox cart, then went to town with the Zhang Family and Qiao Xiaomai.
They arrived at meal time; Qiao Xiaomai took out two bowls, one filled with Brewed Snail and the other with Loach Soup, and entered Jiji House to find Shopkeeper He.
A little bribe for Shopkeeper He, of course.
After tasting the Brewed Snail and Loach Soup, Shopkeeper He couldn’t stop praising them, “Why do you have to sell them in a stall outside? Just sell the whole lot to my Jiji House.”
“No way.” Qiao Xiaomai shook her head.
Once they divided the family property, the Zhang Family’s cooking skills would definitely go down, at that time delivering these to Jiji House would simply be scamming people.
Then the Zhang Family would certainly look for her, and she’d say it’s the Zhang Family’s lack of cooking skills and ask them to concentrate on selling cold noodles and Sour and Spicy Fish.
The pickles were personally pickled by her, using the Spiritual Spring water. With pickles, even if the taste of the fish is average, it is enough to set up a stall.
“The Emperor said that we can’t have contact with Jiji House anymore, as long as we can set up a stall at the door of Jiji House, it’s OK.” She couldn’t tell the deeper reason, so she brought up Yang Wenxiao.
This is a very good reason, after hearing it, Shopkeeper He no longer said anything.
He took out fifty coins. “Give me five spoonfuls of Brewed Snail and five bowls of Loach Soup.”
A bowl of Loach Soup is five coins, a spoonful of snail is five coins.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t help but widen her eyes, “Can you finish it all?”
“Drink it tonight.” Shopkeeper He said with a beaming smile.
Qiao Xiaomai now rarely cooks, this Brewed Snail and Loach Soup are obviously Qiao Xiaomai’s handiwork. Since he had the opportunity, he certainly wanted to enjoy himself.
“OK, bring the bowl here.” Qiao Xiaomai held those fifty coins in her palm, this could be considered an auspicious start.
Zhang was surprised and delighted when she saw that Shopkeeper He came out to carry the bowl himself. For Brewed Snail that was five coins a spoon, she gave out six spoonfuls, if not for Shopkeeper He stopping her, she would’ve given ten spoonfuls.
“Enough, enough. That’s enough. Sister-in-law, you can set up your stall here in future, just set it up as you like. Please do not do this anymore, it’s not easy to do business.” Shopkeeper He left these words behind, carried the bowl back into Jiji House, and a few moments later sent another five coins.
“The shopkeeper is such a nice man.” Zhang couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Yes, you can set up a stall here in the future.” Qiao Xiaomai smiled, then immediately started calling out, “Delicious Brewed Snail, eh~ Delicious Brewed Snail, free tasting, pay only if it’s delicious, eh~”
