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

Li Yu had guessed that someone would do this, so she was not surprised. After all, her business was so good, so someone would definitely want to get a piece of the pie. She just didn't know if the food they sold was that delicious.

Li Yu calmly thanked the man selling sesame cakes, said it was no problem, and pushed the cart to the stall.

A pair of brothers were selling braised meat opposite. They were not tall and had evil eyes. When they saw Li Yu, they shouted provocatively, "We're selling braised meat. Pig intestines are 20 cents per pound, pig hearts, livers, and lungs are 15 cents per pound, potatoes and green peppers are 6 cents per pound, and braised eggs are 2 cents each.

The ingredients are exactly the same as Li Yu’s, but the price is much lower than Li Yu’s.

A few diners who came on time heard the shouting from the other side and hesitated for a moment. They were all pig offal, and since they already had cheap ones, they naturally didn't want to buy expensive ones.

A diner looked at Li Yu, then at the two brothers, and finally turned and walked towards the brothers' stall.

A few people saw him leaving and followed him.

Only Zhou Laosan, Boss Hu and five or six others still went to Li Yu to buy things as usual.

"Believe it or not, the food over there definitely doesn't taste as good as this one." Zhou Laosan said to Boss Hu.

Boss Hu gestured to Li Yu to cut the intestines for him and said, "Of course I believe it. I can tell whether something is good or bad."

As if to prove his words, on the other side, the person who was planning to buy pig intestines was negotiating with the two brothers.

"Can you guys try some of the food here?" He wanted to try it first, and if it didn't taste good, he would buy something more expensive.

The two brothers looked at each other, and the lower one shook his head and said, "Sir, our prices are already cheap enough. If you try them again, you won't make much money."

The man thought so and said, "Then give me half a catty."

The two brothers sighed and quickly cut the intestines for the man.

After the first one, there was the second one. Soon, a bunch of diners gathered at the brothers' stall. In contrast, Li Yu's stall looked miserable.

Han Xiaomei was a little anxious, "Second sister-in-law, why are they like that?"

"Don't be anxious, let's take a look at the situation first." Li Yu was not panicked at all. She believed that her skills would not be surpassed by these two people.

At the noodle stall on the other side of the sesame cake stall, the first person who bought pig intestines at the stall opposite sat down.

He ordered a bowl of noodles and planned to eat it with pig intestines. However, when the pig intestines entered his mouth, he almost vomited them out.

The pig intestines were fat and greasy and tasted weird. What was even more unpleasant was that they had an unbearable smell.

The man immediately went to the noodle stall owner to rinse his mouth with water. When he felt that he was about done, he rushed to the stall opposite with the pig intestines.

"Your pig intestines are inedible, give me your money back!"

His voice was so loud that it instantly spread around. The customers surrounding the stall opposite were all stunned. One of them was about to hand over the money but quickly withdrew his hand.

The man threw the pig intestines onto the chopping board and shouted, "You didn't clean them at all, and the taste is not right. I was wondering why you didn't allow people to taste them. It turns out you were afraid that people wouldn't buy them after trying them!"

The two brothers on the opposite side were able to snatch Li Yu's business in front of him, so they were naturally not easy to mess with. The tall one raised his fist at the man and said, "You are slandering us. You are the only one who said it was not delicious, and no one else said it. You must want to extort money and deliberately ruin the pig intestines."

The man was furious, but luckily he remained rational and spoke clearly, "You are the ones who are talking nonsense. The others didn't say anything because they haven't eaten it yet. If you have bought the braised food from this restaurant, you can take it out and try it now to see if I am telling the truth or not."

A few people who had already made their purchases and had not walked far immediately opened the oil paper after hearing the man's words.

Soon, several people returned to the opposite stall with oil paper bags, saying, "You didn't wash it, it tastes terrible."

"It tastes terrible."

"Money back!"

"If you don't return the money, I will report it to the police!"

When one person was yelling, the two brothers on the opposite side could still cope with it, but when several people were yelling at the same time, the two brothers on the opposite side became a little scared.

But there was no way they would apologize. Knowing they couldn't sell here today, the two brothers ignored the criticism from everyone, packed up their stall and left.

"We won't sell it anymore! We won't sell it anymore!"

Some people who wanted to get their money back followed the two and left, while others who wanted to eat braised food turned around and came to Li Yu's stall.

"It turns out that cheap goods are not good." The man who was confronting the two brothers wiped his mouth and shouted to Li Yu: "Cut half a pound of pig intestines and half a pound of pig hearts."

Li Yu quickly cut it and handed it to him.

After receiving it, the man did not leave immediately. Instead, he pinched a piece and put it in his mouth. He chewed it and swallowed it, saying with satisfaction, "This is what it tastes like. What was that just now? I wasted my ten cents."

Li Yu smiled and said nothing.

This morning's incident did not affect Li Yu. After selling vegetables, she went to buy meat as usual. However, this time she only bought two sets of pork offal and five catties of pork belly. The rest were all ribs, plus two pig heads.

Guessing Han Xiaomei would be confused, Li Yu explained: "Have you noticed that the offal has been selling slower these days, and the consumption of potatoes is also lower than before. This is because people have eaten it more often and have become tired of it. If we still insist on selling offal and potatoes, then the sales will be slower and slower in the future. It is better to change to other ingredients.

Of course, you should have noticed that pig offal has become more and more expensive recently. It started at ten coins and has now risen to twenty coins. This is because the butchers found out that we have to buy this, so they raised the price without fear. "

Once those people realize that she can make money without selling pig offal, they will stop raising the price. After all, not everyone can make this thing delicious, and ordinary people will not buy it. If the price is too high, they will not be able to sell it.

Only by changing frequently can you keep doing it for a long time.

Han Xiaomei seemed to be thinking about something.

Before going back, Li Yu went to the dim sum shop.

After half a month's rest, Han Zheng's body was almost recovered. Li Yu discussed with him last night and planned to visit the teacher today to talk about his re-enrollment. This time Han Zheng was going to Mingtong School in the town. Wang Xiucai from the next village passed the imperial examination a few years ago and his family moved to the county, so there was no way to find him.

Li Yu had asked someone about the situation at Mingtong Academy in advance. It was said that the teacher at the academy liked to eat snacks, so she bought some in advance so that she could cater to the teacher's tastes and make her request more easily.

In addition, there are three taels of silver for tuition and two pounds of braised pork belly.

In the bookstore, Li Yu bought Han Zheng a stack of paper, inkstone, brush and ink. He also bought a book that students in the school are reading nowadays.

After returning home, Han Xiaomei took the initiative to boil water. After Li Yu gave Han Zheng the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, he went to rest as usual.

Perhaps because she was too tired recently, she fell asleep without realizing it until she was awakened by the noise outside.
