Escape after crossing

"Yes! Usually during the autumn harvest, we collect grain in the surrounding towns."

"Besides these, has the shopkeeper ever received any special grains? For example, grains from other countries?"

“No, our county is not rich, but there are actually quite a few rich people. However, I have seldom traveled far away over the years.

Even if there are people from other countries coming here, they are just passing through, it’s nothing.”

"The shopkeeper's business is so good, I believe he will go to the largest restaurant in our county and have a meal, right?"

Shopkeeper Bai was stunned for a moment. The kid changed the subject very quickly, but he didn't understand why they were talking about the restaurant again.

"I've been there. Doing business inevitably requires dealing with people, inviting them to dinner, drinking tea, etc."

Shopkeeper Bai didn’t know what Jiang Ziluo wanted to do for the time being, but thinking that it was nothing that couldn’t be said, he just treated it as a chat.

"Is the food in that restaurant delicious? Is it expensive?"

"The food in the restaurant is delicious. As for the price, it depends on what the dish is."

"Then, boss, what are the restaurant's signature dishes?"

"Girl, why are you asking these questions?" Shopkeeper Bai couldn't guess what Jiang Ziqing wanted to do, so he asked directly.

"Oh, I just want to hear what dishes the restaurant has and how much they cost. When I grow up, I want to earn a lot of money and buy them for my parents to show my filial piety to them."

Jiang Ziluo had thought of this excuse since he was about to ask the shopkeeper, so it wasn't that difficult to answer.

"Haha, he's a filial son. Well, let me tell you, the biggest restaurant in our county is called..."

The largest restaurant in Luocheng County is called Huajianfu. I heard that the owner of the restaurant is very mysterious and most matters are decided by the shopkeeper.

Huajianfu Restaurant was only opened in the last ten years. Although it also has branches in the provincial capital and other cities, it has not been open in Luocheng for long.

But since this restaurant opened, those small restaurants in Los Angeles gradually went out of business.

It is not that Huajianfu is taking advantage of its power to bully others, nor is it that Huajianfu is playing tricks or tripping others up behind the scenes.

Even these small restaurants had initially caused trouble for Huajianfu, simply because Huajianfu had many dishes and they tasted great.

Those who have eaten there don't want to go anywhere else, so even though the food and wine at Huajianfu are expensive, there are still many people eating, banqueting, and discussing business there.

The most expensive and signature dish is the braised pork, according to Shopkeeper Bai.

"The meat is ruddy in color, with fat and lean parts. A little more fat is too fat, and a little less is too lean. When you take a bite, the flavor is overflowing.

It is smooth but not greasy, fragrant but not boring. After one bite, you will want a second bite. This dish is also the most expensive, with a piece of meat costing five taels of silver.

Jiang Ziluo and Jiang Runzhi both gasped when they heard this. One dollar and fifty ounces! That was too expensive.

Even if Jiang Ziluo came from the modern era, she still thought it was expensive. I wonder how delicious it is?

She originally thought that one or two taels of silver would be enough for one portion, but she still underestimated the merchant's deceit.

"Shopkeeper, this meat is only a dozen coins per pound, and this piece of meat costs five taels of silver. Dragon meat can't be that expensive, right?"

Jiang Ziluo didn't know how much pork cost per pound at that time, but Jiang Runzhi knew, so he asked Manager Bai.

“Of course, ordinary meat costs only a dozen coins per pound, but Hua Jianfu raises its own pork.

There are only a few servings of this braised pork every day, and it is said that it is rare to find such good pork belly from a pig.

We slaughtered too many pigs and were afraid that they wouldn’t be used up in one day, and the quality of the meat would be bad if left until the next day.

There are quite a few wealthy people in our county. Some businessmen have tasted this braised pork once when they were doing business in other places.

It was something I will never forget. After I knew that Hua Jian Fu opened in Luocheng, I went there specifically to try the braised pork.

Later, the word gradually spread in the city, and more and more people wanted to eat it.

But it’s still the same few dollars a day. Until they’re sold out. Often many people can’t buy them.”

Jiang Ziluo sighed after hearing this. Hunger marketing already exists at this time? Could it be that someone has traveled through time?

I thought about it carefully again, and it doesn't make sense. Huajianfu also exists in other places, and the one in Luocheng has been around for ten years.

If he was a time traveler, why didn't he see some modern things? Thinking of this, Jiang Ziluo felt relieved again.

"Boss, what other dishes does the restaurant have? This dish is too expensive, I'm afraid I can't afford it!"

Jiang Ziluo tried to speak in a child's tone as much as possible.

"Haha, don't tell me you can't afford it, I just bought one to satisfy my craving.

But they have many other dishes, all of which taste delicious and are much cheaper than braised pork.

Stewed chicken soup, a bowl costs dozens of coins, crystal pork elbow, phoenix wings, steamed fresh seafood, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, spicy quail..."
