The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

Chapter 24 Chapter 24, Selling Meat Sauce

Li Yu and the others reached a fork in the road and walked in front of an inn. After standing for a while, they saw a large group of horse-drawn carriages and mule carts approaching, pulling heavy loads of goods.

Li Yu saw that Li Mei and Liu Changmin didn't know how to sell, so they stood there stupidly watching the motorcades pass by.

Li Yu had no choice but to pick up a jar of meat sauce from his back and shouted along the way, "We sell meat sauce! Spicy and delicious meat sauce, paired with steamed buns and pancakes, delicious and good for rice..."

A man heard Li Yu's shouting and glanced at the big cake in his hand. He felt that it was really hard to swallow. "Girl, bring it here and let me see what kind of meat sauce you sell."

Li Yu walked up to the man and pulled out the cork from the jar. A spicy smell hit his nose. The man swallowed and said, "It smells quite fragrant, but I don't know how it tastes."

Li Yu handed the jar to the man and said, "Uncle, you have pancakes. You can scoop some out and try them."

"Okay, let's talk about it after it tastes good." The man took a spoon, scooped out a spoonful and spread it on the cake. He took two bites of the cake and chewed it a few times, eating the peanuts, sesame seeds and meat. "Yeah! Not bad. It’s quite delicious, girl, how do you sell this meat sauce?”

"This can weighs almost a pound. It is made with game, peanuts and sesame. It originally sold for thirty-five cents per can. You are the first customer. I will give you thirty-three cents."

The man hesitated and looked at the jar Li Yu was holding. He felt that it tasted really good and was good for meals. He bargained and said, "Girl, it's still a bit expensive! If it's less, I'll buy two jars."

"Thirty cents, no less. Look, they are all fried in vegetable oil. You can eat them on the road without worrying about them spoiling."

The man nodded and said, "Okay, give me two cans."

Li Yu hurriedly took out two cans from his backpack and handed them to him. The three people sitting on the rafters of the car in front asked the man, turning to look at the man, "Lao Xu, how does it taste?"

The pancake in Old Xu Yangyang's hand was "spicy, fragrant and really delicious."

After hearing this, the three of them waved to Li Yu, "Little girl, bring it to us to try."

"Okay!" After Li Yu gave the meat sauce to three people to taste, the three of them bought two more cans each. Li Yu carried the pickles on his back and continued walking forward.

After finishing the pancake, Lao Xu went to the inn with a jar of meat sauce. He walked up to a middle-aged man and handed him the meat sauce in his hand with a flattering smile. "Steward Wei, please try the meat sauce I just bought." The meat sauce is fragrant and spicy and tastes good.”

"Thank you very much, Lao Xu." Manager Wei took the meat sauce with a smile, pulled out the cork, scooped a spoonful into the noodle bowl, took two bites and nodded with a smile: "Well, it tastes good and quite appetizing. of."

Lao Xu looked at him and smiled happily, "I just thought you would like it."

Li Yu looked around and found that several people thought it was too expensive. Li Yu was a little disappointed and felt that these hot sauces were not as easy to sell as he thought.

Then I thought about it and comforted myself, everything is difficult at the beginning! Besides, it’s a bit expensive for just one variety. I’ll go back and make the cowpeas and kohlrabi and come back in two days.

Li Mei and Liu Changmin learned that Li Yu had sold eight cans of pickles in a short while. They looked at Li Yu with smiles and said, "Yu'er, it's really good. I just came here and sold eight cans."

"Well, several of them thought it was a bit expensive and didn't buy it, but it's okay. Let's go back and make the cowpeas and kohlrabi, and come back when we have a complete variety."

"Okay, but this kind is not easy to sell." Li Mei asked Li Yu to get on the bullock cart. Liu Changmin drove the bullock cart back when he suddenly heard someone shouting from behind: "The meat sauce seller, wait..."

Li Yu looked back and quickly called Liu Changmin, "Uncle, wait a minute, it's the uncle who bought the meat sauce just now."

Liu Changmin stopped the car, Li Yu got out of the car, waited for Lao Xu to arrive, and asked, "Uncle, is there anything else?"

Lao Xu ran back and took a breath, "We, Manager Wei, want to buy your meat sauce. How much do you have left?"

"There are seven cans left here and about sixty cans at home. If you want it, it won't be far. It will be here in less than a quarter of an hour."

"Wait a minute and I'll ask when I get back." Lao Xu turned around and walked towards a carriage behind him. After a while, the carriage turned around and walked towards Li Yu and the others.

The carriage arrived next to Li Yu and the others. A man poked his head out of the carriage, glanced at the ox cart led by Liu Changmin and the cart full of things, and smiled at Li Mei: "Sister-in-law, my carriage runs fast, you guys sit on me." The car took me to your house to pick it up."

Li Mei responded cheerfully: "Okay! We are just in front of Xishan Village."

Li Yu didn't expect that the big customer would come so soon, and he got into the man's carriage with Li Mei excitedly.

The man was satisfied when he saw that his aunt and nephew were dressed neatly. "I am Wei Wencheng, the steward of the Wei family's caravan. Is my sister-in-law from around here?"

Li Mei smiled politely and bowed, "Mr. Wei, my husband's surname is Liu and her maiden name is Li. We live in Xishan Village. This is my niece Xiaoyu. These sauces are made by my niece. Our family loves to eat them." .”

Wei Wencheng said frankly: "Sister-in-law Li, your pickles taste pretty good, but we are far away. I wonder if your pickles can be stored well. If they are stored for a long time, I will come back again in the future."

After hearing this, Li Yu felt confident. He fried all the water out and added liquor to preserve it. This big customer should be able to retain it.

Li Yu said to Wei Wencheng: "Mr. Wei, my pickles are all made with vegetable oil. You should be fine if you store them for about a month. Also, try not to use tableware that has been stained with water when taking them."

After listening to Li Yu's explanation, Wei Wencheng smiled and said: "Okay, if it really lasts this long, we will come again next time."

After a while, they arrived at Li's house. Li Yu jumped out of the car, opened the door and said to Zhao Di: "Cousin, go and bring two bundles of grass over here. I want to put pickles in them."

Zhao Di nodded and walked towards the woodshed. After a while, she came out with a bundle of hay and handed it to Li Yu. Li Yu took out the bamboo basket and put a thick layer of hay inside, and started filling the sauce jars.

Li Mei said to Wei Wencheng, "Mr. Wei, please come in and stay for a while."

Wei Wencheng nodded and followed Li Mei into the yard. He saw that the yard was quite large and clean. There were several rows of bamboo racks in the yard, and the racks were filled with bamboo plaques. Inside the bamboo plaques were drying peppers and cowpeas. There are shredded vegetables.

Wei Wencheng said sincerely: This family is very clean. If those pickles can really be stored, we can still cooperate.

Li Yu filled the sauce cans, and Liu Changmin also arrived, and quickly helped move the basket outside. Wei Wencheng saw that there was a thick layer of hay in the basket, and nodded with satisfaction.

Li Yu pointed to the jars of pickles in the basket and said, "Manager Wei, look at it and there are exactly seventy jars left."

After checking it, Manager Wei nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, move it to the car!" He took out a few pieces of broken silver from his purse and handed it to Li Yu, "Seventy cans, which is exactly two taels of silver, right? "

"Yes," Li Yu took the money, and after he and Liu Changmin moved the basket into the car, he said to Wei Wencheng, "Mr. Wei, my family will also have other flavors of pickles. After you eat them, you will feel better and welcome to come again."

"Okay, see you later." Wei Wencheng got on the carriage and walked towards the three-way road.

Zhao Di looked at Li Yu happily, "Cousin, did you really sell a can for thirty cents? And all of it was sold out?"

"Well, it's sold out. You're at home today and there's no one to sell vegetables?"

Zhaodi nodded with a smile on her face, "Yes, almost one stone for each item."

Li Yu looked at the cowpeas and kohlrabi drying in the bamboo plaque. The water had been dried and said, "Zhao Di, these can be put in."
