Chapter 513: 513 Qinghe Call Wife 8
The onlookers understood, “So, only those who are going to buy the meat can try it?”
“Of course.” Su Qingyue nodded, “It’s so delicious, and it’s meat. If everyone tries it without buying, I won’t have enough for everyone to taste. You all know how expensive meat is.”
“True.” Everyone nodded in agreement, all honest people, not treating it like cheap vegetables and those not planning to buy also said they wouldn’t try it.
A middle-aged man said, “I’m going to buy two jin of meat anyway, let me try it…”
Another woman said, “I’m also going grocery shopping, this meat smells so good, let me try it…”
“I also want to try…”
Su took out prepared chopsticks, picked up a tree leaf, and placed a piece of braised pork intestine onto the leaf, then handed it to one person. She then calmly handed it out in the same manner to each person who wanted to taste.
“It’s so delicious!” The middle-aged man who tasted it instantly brightened his eyes, “It’s perfect as a wine dish!”
“I’ve never had such delicious meat before…” Another person said, “What kind of meat is this?”
“First-class Ten Fragrance Meat.” Su Qingyue replied.
The woman looked closely, “Why does it look like a pig’s large intestine…”
Even if the braised pork intestines were well-cooked, they were still easy to recognize. The ancient people weren’t stupid, no matter how nice the name was, it was what it was. Su Qingyue didn’t deny it, “It is a pig’s large intestine. This dish is also called braised pig’s large intestine.”
“What!” The middle-aged man was surprised, “It’s offal? Pig offal has such a strong smell! Can it be this delicious?”
“Isn’t it delicious when this little wife made it?” Another person said, “When I buy it and cook it myself, it’s so hard to make it taste good…”
The middle-aged man asked, “Offal is offal, but it’s indeed more delicious than meat. How much per jin?”
Su Qingyue said, “Twenty cents per jin.”
“Are you robbing us?” The woman who had a taste shouted, “Little wife, doesn’t everyone know that pig offal in the Vegetable Market is only one cent per jin? You’re selling it for twenty cents, that’s extortionate!”
“That’s right, it’s too expensive, no matter how delicious, I won’t buy it…”
“Too expensive, too expensive…”
Everyone shook their heads.
Seeing this, Xiao Qinghe’s handsome pale face also turned red with embarrassment. Selling it for twenty cents while it’s only worth one cent per jin, his wife was indeed robbing them.
Seeing everyone saying so, Su Qingyue wasn’t angry, “That’s the thing, I used a secret family recipe to process the pig’s large intestine. Of course, I know you all have bought vegetables and are aware of the real prices. But what I’m cooking isn’t just pig’s large intestine. Think about it, when you guys buy pig’s large intestine and cook it at home, the smell is so strong and stinky that even if it was given to you for free, you wouldn’t want to eat it, right?”
“Yes, pig offal is too stinky…” The old granny in a wheelchair said, “No matter how much I wash it, it still smells bad…”
“No matter how I cook it, the smell remains…” The woman also said, then asked curiously, “Little wife, how did you cook this pig offal?”
Su Qingyue said, “That’s the reason for the high price. The secret family recipe requires several expensive ingredients, and it costs quite a bit of silver to buy them. What’s expensive isn’t the pig offal, but the ingredients used to remove its smell. That’s why it’s twenty cents per jin. Today, I’ll sell it cheaper, eighteen cents per jin, who wants to buy it?”
Everyone kept calling it expensive.
The middle-aged man said, “This delicious pig offal, I’m tired of eating meat, give me three jin!”
