Chapter 54 - 54 Order
54 Order
With the first customer saying it, the rest of the customers were no longer embarrassed, they poured out everything like beans. “Yes, your house is still the best. Yesterday, I also bought the meat from the newly opened store. That pork is stinky. It’s very disgusting!”
“The stewed meat is even worse than the one I made myself! It doesn’t taste good at all!”
“Yeah, they didn’t even give me a taste. I only found out when I bought it back that my family would throw up after just one bite! If he gave me a taste, I wouldn’t have bought it! I’ll have to look at your house when I buy stewed meat in the future!”
Jian Qingqing did not know whether to laugh or cry. She did not expect that the newly opened stewed meat stall would attract her loyal fans.
In that case, she might as well advertise for her stewed meat stall. “Yeah, the stewed meat in my house is made with good ingredients, which is why it tastes so good. With that huge pile of spices, the price will be more expensive. It’s worth every penny!”
The customers all agreed. Jian Qingqing’s stewed meat was really fragrant! They had not eaten it yet, but they could already smell the fragrance from afar. A piece of meat would go well with a bowl of rice. They wanted to eat it again. If she did not put good ingredients, would it have such an effect? Indeed, it was better to use good ingredients.
Therefore, the stewed meat for today was sold out very quickly. Jian Qingqing was ready to close the stall when Ming Zhiyan arrived.
She glanced at him and said, “Today’s meat is sold out. If you want to eat, you can reserve it with me. I’ll leave a portion for you on account of our acquaintance.”
Ming Zhiyan was an official of all sizes and might be able to use it in the future. It was necessary to build a good relationship with him.
Ming Zhiyan touched his nose and said, “Thank you very much. By the way, do you want to take an order?”
“What order?”
“Our county office wants to order 50 catties of stewed meat every day. Do you want to take such an order?”
Jian Qingqing refused. “No. Don’t you have a special cook? Why are you still buying cooked food outside?”
“Don’t misunderstand. I didn’t mean to help your business on purpose, but we have this need. The food in the county office isn’t enough, and the cook’s cooking isn’t good either. Those bailiffs don’t have the energy to train if they can’t eat well, so I thought of ordering cooked food outside. It just so happens that the braised meat you made is very delicious, so I thought of ordering it from here.”
Ming Zhiyan had eaten her braised meat yesterday, the taste was no worse than that of the Imperial Chefs in the palace.
Jian Qingqing really thought that he had to repay her kindness. However, after hearing what he said, she finally understood.
In this way, those who did not accept were fools. Why did she not want more business?
She said loudly, “I’ll accept it!”
Ming Zhiyan smiled, she was really a child.
“Alright, I’ll get someone to come and take it tomorrow.”
Wang Li, who was following at the side, looked at her from the sidelines. He had never seen his Master treat anyone so well. It seemed that this Little Lady Jian, who had saved his Master, was not ordinary.
Jian Qingqing, who had completed a business deal, was very happy. She decided to buy another big iron pot. Many of the regular customers had returned today. It seemed that the amount of stewed meat could return to before.
She had received another order of 50 catties. She would not be able to stew all the meat it if she did not buy another pot, now that she had earned money, she did not care about the 20 taels of silver anymore.
After booking the big metal pot, she carried a roasted duck to meet Wei Wusheng. She had specially reserved this for him. Ever since she had asked for the price of the medicinal herbs the last time, she had not gone to see him. At least he had taught her the method of brewing the medicinal herbs.
When Wei Wusheng saw her, he rolled his eyes at her in annoyance. “Why? You haven’t come for so many days. Have you forgotten about me, your Big Brother?”
Jian Qingqing said fawningly, “How can I forget? I was just too busy! Look, I even brought you roast duck!”
