1952: Walking through Nantongluo Alley

Qin Huairu was speechless all night.

Early the next morning, Chen Xiao got up early and went to the yard.

A thin layer of ice has formed on the konjac soaked in the bucket.

Chen Xiao poked through the thin ice and fished out a piece of konjac from the freezing cold water.

It felt a little hard in my hand, so I squeezed it hard and it was indeed more elastic than yesterday!

A smile appeared on Chen Xiao's lips.

He went to the kitchen and cut the konjac with a kitchen knife, put all the remaining sauce from yesterday in a bowl and stirred it. After a while, Chen Xiao made a bowl of spicy and fragrant konjac soup.

He reached out, pinched one, and put it in his mouth to taste.

As he chewed, Chen Xiao's eyes lit up.

This is the taste!

The taste is the same as the konjac soup before the time travel, both are chewy and refreshing, with a little bit of crispy chewiness.

Combined with their own exclusive sauce, this konjac snack is sure to be a big hit!

During breakfast, Chen Xiao placed the bowl of konjac soup he had just made on the dining table.

"Uncle and aunt, please try it."

"This is the real konjac. Once you take a bite, you will definitely be unable to stop eating!"

Chen Xiao pushed the Konjac Soup towards Zhang Cuilan and the other person.

"Could it be that what I made today is even more delicious than yesterday?" Zhang Cuilan asked in confusion.

Chen Xiao nodded.

"Auntie, try it first!"

Then Zhang Cuilan and Qin Tieniu each picked up one and put it in their mouths to chew.

After eating, they stayed where they were, as if still savoring the taste.

"Mom, how is it? Is it delicious?"

"Mom, why aren't you talking to Dad?" Qin Huaiguo was a little anxious.

"Huaiguo, why don't you try one too? You'll know if it tastes good or not after trying it." Chen Xiao said with a smile.

Then Qin Huaiguo picked up a piece of konjac.

The moment he tasted it, he stood up from his chair.

"Holy crap! How can it be so delicious?"

"This texture! This flavor!"

"Huaiguo, how dare you talk like that?" Qin Huairu rolled her eyes at Qin Huaiguo.

In this family, Qin Huaiguo has never said a bad word, and today is the first time.

"Sorry, sis. It's mainly because the konjac is so delicious. If you don't believe me, try it yourself!"

Qin Huaiguo said with an apologetic look on his face.

"It's not like I haven't eaten it before. I ate it yesterday, and I ate a lot. How can I not know whether Konjac is delicious or not?"

Under Qin Huaiguo's expectant gaze, Qin Huairu also picked up a piece of konjac.

The result was obvious, the expression was the same as Qin Tieniu and his wife.

When you bite into the konjac, the crispy texture and the aroma of chili oil make it even more delicious than meat!

Then, several people picked up their chopsticks and started stuffing their mouths with food.

Chen Xiao laughed aside.

"What do you think? Will anyone buy this konjac cake if it's only 2 cents a bowl?"

The biggest cost of konjac soup is not the konjac, but the chili peppers, lard, and other seasonings.

Selling it for 1 cents per copy, after deducting labor and costs, Chen Xiao can still make cent!

If you sell hundreds of copies a day, you’ll earn ten yuan a day, and three hundred yuan a month.

Three hundred yuan a month is something that ordinary people wouldn’t even dare to think about in this day and age.

"Isn't 2 cents a bowl a bit too expensive? I can buy a pound of pork with a little more money." Zhang Cuilan said with a frown while eating konjac noodles.

Although Konjac Soup is delicious, the price of 2 cents per bowl is probably prohibitive for most people!

"Auntie, do you know the donkey rolls I bought yesterday? They're made with soybean flour. Guess how much they cost per pound? They're even more expensive than konjac!"

"As long as it tastes good, people will still buy it even if it's a bit more expensive."

Chen Xiao explained on the side.

He didn't want to hide the selling price. After all, they were all bought and produced by Qinhuaiguo. Even if he didn't say it now, his family would know it sooner or later.

To avoid them thinking too much, it is better to say it directly now.

"Old woman, don't worry about this. If it can't be sold, the worst that can happen is that the price will be lowered later!"

"Konjac is so delicious, I feel like people will still buy it even if it's a little more expensive!"

"After all, we are city people. City people have better conditions and higher salaries. Unlike us rural people, we have to bargain for half a day to buy something worth a dime." Qin Tieniu said on the side.

No matter what, Chen Xiao was helping Huaiguo find a job.

He will definitely speak well of Chen Xiao.

Then Chen Xiao continued.

"Uncle and aunt, this Konjac Delight needs to be renamed. It can't be called Konjac Delight anymore because it's not complicated to make. There's no recipe, and you can make it yourself by figuring it out."

"In order to avoid losing business to others, we have to change the name."

"From now on, I'll call you Koukoushuang!"

For some reason, when Qin Huairu heard these three words, a blush appeared on her pretty face.

Maybe he was thinking about what happened last night, or maybe he was thinking about something else.

She took advantage of her parents' inattention and poked Chen Xiao with her elbow to express her inner dissatisfaction.

After breakfast, Chen Xiao stopped wasting time.

I have to go to work tomorrow, so I have to get the house and other things ready today.

The three of them pushed their bicycles loaded with the konjac they had dug yesterday, said goodbye to Qin Huairu's parents and headed back to the city.

Today is the first time that Qin Huaiguo is going on a long journey. Zhang Cuilan held his little hand and kept talking in his ear.

He was told to be careful when he was alone outside, to work hard with Chen Xiao, and not to do anything to let Chen Xiao down.

The Qinhuai Kingdom agreed to all the requests.

......

The three of them returned to the old city and found a small house with a yard for Qin Huaiguo, paying 10 yuan a month in rent.

If Chen Xiao had been short of money, he would have wanted to buy it directly.

Any house in this city can be sold for hundreds of millions in minutes if it waits until the 21st century!

Then I spent another 100 yuan to buy a lot of lard, chili peppers and other seasonings.

Then the three of them peeled the konjac in the rented yard.

Chen Xiao did not hide anything and told Qin Huaiguo all the methods of making Konjac Soup without reservation.

There is no need to worry about his betrayal. Even if Konjac is gone, Chen Xiao still knows other products that will sell well!

For example, the braised flavor of Jiujiu duck and pickled pepper chicken feet.

Another example is KFC’s fried chicken and hamburgers.

Of course, the most important thing is that Chen Xiao has the incredible ability of golden eyes.

This is what will help Chen Xiao accumulate wealth quickly in the future!

After arranging everything, Chen Xiao did not stay any longer.

Take Qin Huairu back to the courtyard.

On the way back to the courtyard, Qin Huairu pulled at the corner of Chen Xiao's clothes.

"Chen Xiao, do you think selling this konjac can make money? I'm afraid that few people will buy it..."

Chen Xiao said without turning his head.

"What's Konjac Shuang? I already told you, from today on, it's called Koukou Shuang!"

Hearing this, Qin Huairu's pretty face turned red again.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If you keep talking nonsense, I won't do this anymore..."
