Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

Due to the late rice harvest, the number of street vendors in Huangmei Town has been reduced by more than half in the past few days, and as a result, the number of people shopping has also decreased a lot.

Li Yu checked the situation one day in advance, but did not reduce the amount of braised meat. He continued to cook as usual, and even added one third more braised dishes.

Han Xiaomei was worried: "Second sister-in-law, if we make too much, will we not be able to sell it all?"

If they cannot be sold out, they can only be sold the next day, and the taste of the braised meat and braised dishes will deteriorate.

Li Yu put the stool on the cart and blinked, "Don't worry, these will definitely sell out."

Han Xiaomei: “…”

The little girl was dazed. Li Yu looked at her with amusement and said, "Don't worry. Let's go. Today I'll show you how to sell these vegetables."

The two of them went out together. Han Xiaomei subconsciously pushed the cart towards the town, but was stopped by Li Yu, "Let's go to the next village first and take a long detour."

Next to Qingshui Village is Zhoujia Village, which has about eighty households and is a large village.

Because of the large population and the fact that the villagers have lived here for generations, Zhoujia Village has at least half more land than Qingshui Village.

When Li Yu and Han Xiaomei arrived at Zhoujia Village, they saw farmers busy in the fields.

It is the coolest time of the day now, and the villagers are willing to work harder while it is cool to avoid being exposed to the sun when the weather gets hot.

Li Yu walked over and started shouting, "Selling braised dishes, fresh braised dishes, delicious braised dishes."

When the villagers who were working in the fields heard the voice, they all looked towards Li Yu.

Some people who were nearby even gathered around the stall to look at the vegetables.

"How do you sell your stewed food?"

"Braised vegetables are eight cents a pound, and braised eggs are three cents each."

"It's too expensive." A woman waved her hand. "The vegetables are all from our own garden. Why should they be so expensive?"

Li Yu: "All the dishes are braised in gravy and a lot of seasonings are added."

"That's expensive, so, four cents a pound of stewed vegetables, I'll buy three pounds." The woman was calculating in her mind, these stewed vegetables were greasy and should taste good, she could force the man to sell some. She hadn't eaten meat for a month, and these vegetables dipped in gravy were just the right thing to satisfy her tooth.

Li Yu smiled faintly, "I'm sorry, four cents is not even enough to cover the cost, I can't sell it."

The woman curled her lips and said, "Forget it, I won't buy it."

After that, she encouraged the others, "Her stewed food is not worth so much money, don't buy hers, we will make it ourselves when we are done."

Two women who were about to pay for some things put their hands back after being treated like this.

Han Xiaomei was so angry that she wanted to curse, but at this moment, someone asked from a distance: "Are you Boss Li from Qingshui Village?"

Li Yu thought the voice was familiar and when she looked closely, she found that the person asking the question was her old customer Zhou Laosan.

What a coincidence, I can meet someone I know here.

Li Yu replied loudly: "Yes, Boss Zhou, do you want to buy some stewed food?"

Zhou Laosan walked and said, "Yes, I want both braised meat and braised vegetables. Give me three pounds of braised meat and four pounds of braised vegetables."

The woman didn't expect that someone would actually buy it, so she yelled at Zhou Laosan: "Zhou Laosan, I heard that you have made a lot of money in recent years. It seems to be true. You bought meat and vegetables even though they are so expensive. You are really a spendthrift."

Zhou Laosan glanced at the woman and said, "How much I earn has nothing to do with you? How much I spend is my own business. Sun, if you have time to talk nonsense here, why don't you take good care of your land?"

After that, Zhou Laosan ignored her and turned to talk to Li Yu: "Boss Li, have you finished your housework? Will you still open the stall as usual in the future?"

Li Yu: "I'm done. As long as I have nothing to do in the future, I will continue to sell stewed food."

"That's fine! I haven't had Boss Li's braised meat recently, and my appetite has been ruined."

The villagers nearby saw the two talking in a familiar manner and asked Zhou Laosan: "Do you know each other?"

Seeing that this villager was not the kind of unreasonable person like Sun, Zhou Laosan introduced him seriously: "This is the boss Li who sells delicious braised meat in Huangmei Town. I have bought from her many times. I am not exaggerating. There is no one in Huangmei Town who is better at making braised dishes and braised meat than Boss Li."

"You're just bragging, don't worry about your tongue getting rotten." Sun, who hadn't left, said loudly, "It's just stewing a dish, what's the difficulty?"

Zhou Laosan: "Sun, you..."

"Boss Zhou, there's no need to argue with her." Li Yu handed the weighed meat to Boss Zhou and said calmly, "Some people are just looking for trouble. It's useless to argue. Only those who have eaten the food are qualified to judge whether it's delicious or not."

As he spoke, Li Yu picked out a few potatoes, cut them into small pieces, pierced them with a skewer, and handed them to the other villagers except Sun. "Everyone can try them. It doesn't matter whether you buy them or not."

After hearing what Zhou Laosan said, the villagers wanted to try it, so they took it and put it in their mouths.

"How is it?" Zhou Laosan said as he watched everyone eat the potatoes: "It tastes good, right?"

"Not bad." The woman who wanted to buy the stewed vegetables first took out her purse again and said, "Give me two pounds. Can the stewed vegetables be mixed in? I don't want just the potatoes."

"of course can."

With the first person making a move, the second, third, and fourth people all came. After quarter of an hour, one third of the braised dishes were sold, and seven or eight kilograms of braised meat were also sold.

Sun still wanted to stop others from buying, but people tend to follow the trend, and with the promotion of Boss Zhou and the villagers who had tasted the braised dishes, more or less everyone who came to the stall bought some.

If you don't have much money in your home, you can buy half a catty. If you have more money, you can buy two or three catties and eat it with rice, which will give you more energy to work.

Seeing that no one listened to her, Sun was so angry that she started to curse, "Everyone is a fool, no wonder they are just peasants."

The person closest to Sun replied, "Sun, you know how to save money, so why do you still talk to us peasants in the village? Why don't you move to the city and become a rich man? Don't you want to move? And why don't you eat meat? Don't you want to eat it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a burst of laughter and the air was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Next, Li Yu sold some more in Zhoujia Village, and when he arrived in the town, it was already the Si hour.

Wei Songwei, the boss who sells sesame cakes, did not set up his stall. He must have been at home harvesting rice. Qian, the owner of the shop opposite, did not come either. Qian's snail business only lasted four days, and he sold less than twenty cents in total.

I heard that she ended up feeding the whole pot of snails to the chickens and ducks because she couldn't eat them herself and it would be a waste if she didn't give them to the chickens and ducks.

If Qian is sensible, he will not do the snail business anymore.

Li Yu thought about it and looked towards the shop.

The iron pot she wanted would be ready this afternoon, and she would clean up in the next few days and then start her business in the shop. When the time came, she would need more firewood, so she had to tell Han Sheng in the village in advance so that his family would have time to prepare.

Li Yu planned one thing after another, feeling extremely happy.
