My delicate husband

Chapter 101 Cold Pot Skewers Become Popular

Lan An also taught Sister Lan and Aunt Wang how to make non-spicy tomato flavor. After all, there were no chili peppers in Chuqi Country, only dogwood, which was too spicy and many people couldn't eat it.

Zhang Xiaomo likes the tomato flavor very much. Although the spicy one is also delicious, he still prefers tomato.

Lan An also tried making jelly using mulberry leaves. He thought it tasted strange, but Guo Ge'er and Zhang Xiaomo liked it very much. Lan An also planned to make some mulberry leaf jelly to sell, at two cents a bowl.

Two days later, in the early morning, everything was ready. Lan An, Zhang Xiaomo, Guo Ge'er, He Da Ge, Xue Ge'er, Han Da Ge, Wang Da Niang, Lan Sao Zi, and a large group of people took a horse-drawn carriage and went to the county town with the prepared ingredients.

Lan An asked Brother Han to go to Brother Xia's shop to move a set of tables and chairs. Lan An took Zhang Xiaomo to find the city clerk, and the rest of the people waited at a suitable empty stall.

Lan An was familiar with the place and was very familiar with the city official. He paid for ten days' work at one time. Regardless of whether Lan An set up a stall or not, the stall would be reserved for him for ten days. Overall, it was very standardized.

Brother Wu manages the business very well. This street is patrolled by yamen runners, and there are no hooligans collecting protection fees. However, there are not many people setting up stalls. Except on specific market days, there are many empty stalls at other times.

Everything was ready, Lan'an put the ingredients out, and the aroma of the food spread all at once. There were many people coming and going, and quite a few people staying. They were all Lan'an's regular customers. After all, he had bought a lot of different foods.

There was no need to shout, as soon as the things were put on display, everyone lined up consciously, but the flow of people was still too small. Maybe it was because it was the autumn harvest and there were not many people in the county town.

Lan Euan walked around and saw a few little beggars. Their clothes were worn but not dirty, and their faces were clean. They were begging in front of the breakfast shop. They were very well behaved and did not affect the business of the merchants.

Lan Euan walked over, bought ten buns, and walked to the little beggar.

The little beggar was very nervous and a little embarrassed, and kept a long distance from Lan Euan.

"Kids, can I ask you for a favor? Could you please help me shout in crowded places that the East Market has a new cold pot skewers. The braised meat is delicious, tasty, and cheap. I'll give you these ten buns."

"It's that simple? You're not lying to us?"

"No, I'll be setting up a stall there these days. You can find me there and I'll provide you with food."

The little beggars were a little hesitant. They were tempted by the white and tender buns. They were really hungry, but this kind of unwarranted kindness was very dangerous. They were afraid of being abducted.

Finally, an older beggar came forward and took Lan'an's buns. Lan'an just smiled kindly.

"Then I'll leave it to you guys. I'll go to the stall."

Lan Euan returned to the stall and everyone started working in an orderly manner. Aunt Wang and the others were still not familiar with the stall, so they just needed to sell more.

"Anger, why aren't there many people at the market lately?"

"It's the autumn harvest."

"Little boss, I haven't seen you for a while."

"I'm busy at home, so I'll sell food more often in the future."

"That's great, I'm in for a treat."

Lan'an took out a plate and placed some skewers on it, including both meat and vegetables. He then took out some braised meat, cut it into small pieces, put some skewers on each piece, and started shouting.

"Everyone passing by, come and have a look, these freshly cooked cold pot skewers are so spicy and delicious. Come and try them. If you don't like them, you don't have to pay."

Lan'an started shouting, and Guo Ge'er immediately understood. He shouted according to what Lan'an said, and Brother He also followed suit and started shouting. Soon, some people gathered in front of the stall.

Lan An gave Brother He a look and told him to distribute the food on the plate to the people in front of him. He ignored him and wanted to coax Zhang Xiaomo. Lan An noticed that he was unhappy.

Brother He also introduced enthusiastically

"What's this new thing you have? It smells nice and looks delicious."

"You can try the cold pot skewers. If they are delicious, buy them later."

The eldest brother tried it and his eyes were full of surprise.

"This is delicious, spicy and numbing. How much is this? Give me some."

"A pancake is two cents each, three vegetarian skewers are one cent each, and one meat skewers are one cent each. Herbal tea is free, and the first ten people to come will get a free serving of cold tofu."

"You're pretty cheap."

My eldest brother picked out two pancakes, twelve vegetarian skewers, and six meat skewers. Guo Geer also gave him a bowl of cold tofu and a cup of cold tea. For just 14 cents, he got a lot of food. Everyone around him was eager to try it, after all, my eldest brother's food tasted really good.

"Hey, my dear, your green tofu is delicious too. It's cool, tender and smooth. How much is one serving?"

"Two cents."

"It's so cheap, give me another serving. I really can't eat anymore. Otherwise, I'll have two or three bowls."

After hearing what the big brother said, some customers who had bought tomatoes rushed to try the taste. They found it was better than they expected, so they started lining up to buy it.

The customers at the front of the line were very happy because the first ten would get free green tofu. The eleventh person was a little angry because it was such a pity that he just missed out.

Gradually, more and more people came, which was somewhat beyond Lan'an's expectations. After all, there were not many people at the market, and he did not prepare much. After all, it was just a test on the first day. He did not expect that most of the customers who tried the taste would buy it, with some buying seven or eight skewers and some more than twenty.

The mulberry leaf jelly was also very popular, and almost everyone ordered one. As expected, cool foods are very popular in the summer.

No, judging from the current sales, the spicy one sells better than the tomato one. It seems that the residents of Yunling County can eat spicy food. However, the tomato one is more suitable for children.

Lan An was somewhat relieved. There were quite a lot of people coming, so he just had to watch. Brother He could help with the bill. Xue Ge'er, Guo Ge'er, Aunt Wang, and Sister Lan were in charge of the reception. They all had a smile on their faces and looked very happy.

It was Brother Han who cleaned up the bamboo sticks, bowls, and cups. Lan Euan was somewhat impressed by his foresight. The skewers were packed in oilcloth paper, with large leaves placed inside as padding. When it was time to collect, the leaves were thrown away directly, and the oilcloth paper could be reused.

The tea cups and jelly bowls are also easy to wash, which greatly saves washing time.

The food was sold out in less than an hour, and Lan Euan thought it would take most of the day to sell out. Some customers who didn't get their hands on some were quite disappointed.

"Hey bro, will you come back to buy this in the future? It tastes really good."

"It'll be here all week."

"Is it still this time? Can it be spicier? The spicier and more numb it is, the more enjoyable it is."

"Yes, and that green tofu, can you make more?"

"Okay, I'll take note. Thank you all for your suggestions."

After packing up everything, Brother Han went to return the table, and the group came back. Everyone was very excited, and the small wooden box was full of copper coins.

"Ang'er, this is selling so well, should we prepare some more for tomorrow?"

"It's normal to be curious at first, but don't prepare too much. If you can't sell it all, it will go bad easily. It's hot."

"So it'll be the same amount tomorrow?"

"A little more is fine, Aunt Wang, Sister Lan, have you made up your mind? Do you want to do this business?"

"Anger, we're not fools. This is so profitable, so we'll definitely do it."

"That's right, my two boys need to make more money so they can get married."

"Sister Lan, you are too impatient. Your eldest child is only ten years old, and your youngest is only three or four years old."

"Sister Wang, isn't it time to earn more money while you're still young? We still have a house to build at home, and the pressure is high. You're fine, Brother Lin is married, so there's nothing for you to worry about."

"I just want to make more money and build a house for my brother Lin."

On the ox cart, a group of people were talking and laughing. Lan An fell into Zhang Xiaomo's arms. He also wanted to have a baby that belonged to him and Zhang Xiaomo. Guo Ge'er also looked excited. He was very interested in making money now.

Brother He was also thinking about it and began to look forward to the hot pot business. Brother Han and Brother Xue also liked doing business.
