I was the richest man in Da Song

Chapter 3 Business is booming
The doors and windows of the fragrant butcher shop were still closed, and people had already smelled the fragrance and gathered in front of the door.

"What smells so good"

"Is it from here?"

"Isn't this the lame man's butcher's shop? What's going on inside?"

Jia Chang was also a little curious. The people who should gather in front of his shop usually gathered around the door of the fragrant meat shop. Jia Chang wandered around several times to confirm that the smell was indeed coming from inside.

"That's not right, why the lame has no skills?"

Jia Chang guessed wildly in his heart, affected by this fragrant butcher shop, even his business was much worse than usual.

When a drum sounded on the Bell and Drum Tower, He Shao also paid attention to the time and opened on time.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the door panel was removed, people gathered in front of the shop.

"Shopkeeper, what do you sell here? Why is it so fragrant?"

He Shao put the signboard in front of the door, which read
"Mixed stewed meat, [-] yuan a catty, yuan hoof [-] yuan a catty"

"It's too expensive," many people complained.

"Fan Lou's meat is not as expensive as this"

The price of a street corner shop is even more expensive than the most luxurious Fanlou in Kaifeng City, which made many people complain. If they were not attracted by that fragrance, they might have gone away long ago.

Suddenly a young man rushed out of the store, with red lips and white teeth, but a look of anger.

"Brother, you can't sell this meat"

"You don't have to worry about my affairs, go back to me," He Shao shouted.

"This is our family's ancestral secret recipe. Grandpa said that this secret recipe can only be enjoyed by the descendants of our He family. It is unfilial for you to do so!"

It was He Jing who quarreled with He Shao.

"How can our family enjoy such a delicacy exclusively? I have not been able to sleep at night for the past few days, and finally made a decision against my ancestors..." He Shao showed a struggling expression.

"Give me a catty of stewed meat and a yuan hoof"

"Ancestral secret recipe?"

A chubby old man in brocade clothes hurried into the store for fear that he would not be able to buy one.

He Shao weighed the sliced ​​pork head and put it on a plate, mixed it with the sauce that he had prepared earlier, and served it to the dining table together with the pig's trotters.

"I'll have one too"

The old man in brocade clothes sniffed it first, and couldn't wait to take out a pair of chopsticks from the chopsticks bottle, and put a slice of the meat in his mouth, the spiciness of ginger and garlic, the sourness of vinegar (vinegar), and a taste that he had never tasted before. Fragrance, three flavors mixed on the tip of the tongue.

In the Song Dynasty, besides animal oil, oil made from soybeans was used the most, and the sesame seeds specially bought by He Shao were ground into sesame oil. Just one drop can fill the room with fragrance. How delicious the sesame oil is when mixed with it!
In addition to the taste, the taste is also very different. The pork nose is soft and glutinous, the muscles are strong, and the bones in the pig's ears are crispy. A dish has a variety of flavors.

There is a faint fragrance on the stewed pork, and a mellow aroma on the yuan hoof that makes people's mouth water.

The speed of the old man's chopsticks was getting faster and faster, which seemed a bit unsatisfactory.

"Shopkeeper, bring me two catties of wine"

He Shao looked at He Jing and gave him a look, indicating that the play is almost done and it's time to get down to business.

As for the quarrel between the two just now, it was just a marketing gimmick He Shao wanted to show to the audience.

After He Jing sent the wine over, the old man took a sip and sprayed it all over the floor.

“How can such an inferior wine be so delicious”

The old man pointed to the guard next to him.

"Go and buy me two catties of lamb wine"

With the opening of the old man in brocade clothes, the diners outside swallowed their saliva and squeezed in.

"Half a catty of mixed meat"

"Have a yuan hoof and two liang of wine"

Originally, there were only a dozen or so tables on the upper and lower floors of the small shop, but they were all filled up in a blink of an eye.

Jia Chang, the shopkeeper of Jia's butcher shop, stood at the door and watched the performance of the two brothers just now. He understood somewhat, but he didn't seem to understand completely.

"The secret recipe of He Zizi's family? He Zizi is 52 years old this year. His father died 50 years ago, where did he get the secret recipe?"

The old man in Jinyi patted his chubby stomach, feeling satisfied like never before.

"Shopkeeper, the meat here is not cheap, but whoever told me to eat this, give me three catties of mixed head meat and five yuan hooves, I want to take it home to try something new at home."

"Guest's meat is sold out today, why don't you come back tomorrow?"

Facing such high-profile customers, He Shao responded with the most enthusiastic and professional smirk.

"Alright, the old man will come back tomorrow"

Everyone who can come to the fragrant meat shop to taste it is satisfied and returns. The price is very expensive. The daily salary of ordinary strong laborers in Kaifeng is only about [-] yuan, but the people who go out all say that the value for money is excellent. They are hesitant outside the door. Those who missed it could only smell the strange fragrance and salivate.

In this era when everyone is still tasting the most essential taste of meat, He Shao uses various spices to shock their taste buds.

After a busy day, the two brothers, He Shao and He Jing, did not feel sleepy at all, and started counting money energetically.

Those condiments plus pig's feet and pig's head cost less than a penny, but they sold a total of seven and a half pennies including wine, making a net profit of six pennies, which was more than what He Anwen made in half a month before.

There are two large tanks in the courtyard filled with well water, and the two brothers soak in one tank greedily enjoying the rare coolness.

"Six pennies a day, 180 pennies a month, a year is..." He Jing rested his head on the edge of the vat, and couldn't figure it out after a long time of calculation.

"Two thousand and 160 per year, your arithmetic is too bad, did you study hard in your private school?" He Shao knocked He Jing on the head with a little reproach.

"I'm number one in the private school, it's just that my husband doesn't teach arithmetic, bro, are we going to get rich?" He Jing asked excitedly.

"Seeing how promising you are, two thousand dollars a year will be enough?"

He Anwen took a car out early in the morning and didn't come back. Even if the old man didn't mention He Shao, he knew that he was taking advantage of the two days' free time to go to the surrounding area of ​​Kaifeng Mansion to see the fields.

The old man has prepared for the worst, which is to quietly transfer the shop to Jia Chang. Jia Chang's son seems to be also a court official.

The next day, He Shao went to the butcher Wu Yong's house in Xiuyifang early in the morning, but the number of pig's feet and pig's heads doubled from yesterday's.

"Sold out?"

Wu Yong was very surprised. After working as a butcher for more than 20 years, he didn't know when people in Kaifeng City liked to eat this kind of food.

"It's over, it's still yesterday's price."

"right"

Except when someone buys two during the sacrifice, the pig's head and pig's feet slaughtered at other times will be thrown away. Selling it to He Shao can be regarded as an extra income, why not do it.

It was still yesterday's process, the two brothers were very busy in the kitchen, and they were more proficient than yesterday.

Before Xushi arrived, He Shao had already prepared everything, sliced ​​pork head meat, prepared sauce, and marinated pig's trotters.

After getting off the door panel, the door was already surrounded by people three times inside and three times outside. The old man in brocade clothes was obviously not an ordinary person, and there were two guards standing beside him.

"Xiao Langjun, since I finished eating the meat from this fragrant butcher shop yesterday, everything I eat this day is tasteless."

"Then you always come here often," He Shao said with a smile.

"I'm afraid the old man's salary will not come often."

The old man jokingly walked into the store and chose a good seat to sit down. The guards beside him brought their own wine, and the people behind rushed in.

"Sorry, the shop is full." He Shao hurriedly stopped those who wanted to come in later.

"Then I'll be at the head office under the eaves, let's not talk nonsense, two yuan hooves and a catty of wine, I didn't enjoy eating yesterday"

This man didn't care about paying for the food, and just sat down on the edge of the door, holding the pig's trotter in his left hand and the wine pot in the right, eating wine and meat to his heart's content.

There are also some rough guys walking around the street with yuan hooves in their hands. The sound of glutinous rice balls and the smell of oil in their mouths attract many passers-by. He Shao knows one thing very well, that is, besides gossip, there is also appetite that can be spread.

On the one hand, what He Shao wanted was this kind of effect, and these glib people unintentionally became He Shao's food and broadcast.

"Brother, where did you buy this meat?"

Smelling a strong fragrance at the tip of their noses, one of them swallowed, and then asked this person.

"There is a fragrant butcher shop on the side of Yudao, it will be gone if it is late."

After hearing this, the man couldn't help speeding up his pace. After the life of a person in a prosperous and stable dynasty was guaranteed, he also had higher pursuits, such as food, wine, and beauty!
Sure enough, these diners continue to attract more passers-by, and let many people from other places know about this small butcher shop.

All the wine and meat had been sold out in just half an hour. According to this situation, even if the quantity was doubled, the supply still exceeded the demand.

Many people returned disappointed, and the huge traffic flow made the Jia's butcher shop next door also take advantage of it, selling several buckets of wine more than usual.

"Damn it, the first half of my life was wasted, now I know what it's like"

The strong man in the iron tower got up and patted his buttocks.

"Shopkeeper, prepare ten yuan hooves for a certain family tomorrow, and a certain family will take them back"

"The store is limited to two per person?"

When the quality is guaranteed but the output is insufficient, the purchase restriction will not only not affect one's own business, but will make the fragrant meat shop even more famous.

"You can't buy a certain family if you have money?" The strong man slapped the table, his eyes widened.

"I also want to sell, but guest officer, look at the people behind you..."

The person was startled when he turned his head. He was so focused on eating just now that he didn't know when so many people had surrounded him. Most of them still didn't buy it. Seeing the anger of the crowd, this person could only return in embarrassment.

Usually, the fragrant meat shop will be open until the third watch, and the doors will not be opened until the streets are almost gone, but now they are all sold out before the second watch.
