Chapter 222 Pig's Head and Maruko
There are some things that you just need to know in your heart, there is no need to say it out to make Lin Xiazhi feel embarrassed, Cheng Wenliu picked up another book beside him to read.
Although Cheng Wenliu didn't handle these account books, he has rich experience in reading the account books, and he can read them faster than Lin Xiazhi casually, and he has to deal with the questions Lin Xiazhi raises from time to time.
The two looked at the account book together sweetly, and soon the whole morning passed.
Lin Xiazhi said to Cheng Wenliu before leaving the small study for dinner: "If Jufulou can guarantee that the marinated ingredients are only used on pork heads, I can discuss with my uncle and brother to provide Jufulou with marinated ingredients."
Cheng Wenliu was very pleasantly surprised, but he immediately thought of thinking for Lin Xiazhi: "Brother Xia, will I make things difficult for you?"
Ten Miles of Fragrance is not Lin Xiazhi alone, Yang Yusheng and Zhou Xiaozhu have to be considered.
Lin Xiazhi cast a glance at him: "It doesn't count as embarrassment, as long as you can guarantee what I just said."
"Okay, no problem." Cheng Wenliu agreed straight away. Jufulou doesn't do braised pork business, he just thinks that pork head meat can be a big dish, and selling it in Jufulou can attract popularity for Jufulou.
In the afternoon, Lin Xiazhi asked Lin Xiaodong to go to Linjia Village, and told Yang Yusheng about the pig's head and stewed ingredients. After he came back, he asked him to go to Piaoxiang Shili again, and asked Zhou Xiaozhu's opinion.
Both of them had no objection to the pork head meat and marinated ingredients, so the matter was settled.
At noon the next day, the Lin family sent the heads of the six pigs killed in the morning and the stewed ingredients to Jufulou. According to Cheng Wenliu's instructions, the shopkeeper Dong cleaned up the pigs' heads, marinated the belts and bones, and cut off the meat attached to the pigs' heads. , cut into thin slices and put back on the pig's skull.
After such treatment, the pig's head didn't look as scary as before, but it made people's index fingers twitch.
When it was time for dinner, there were five Jufu buildings in total, and a processed pig head was placed in the middle of the lobby of each Jufu building, and a pig head tasting activity began.
For every customer who spends more than [-] copper coins per table, Jufulou will give away a small dish of marinated pork head meat for free.
A thin layer of pork head meat is spread on the plate, and a pinch of dried chili noodles is sprinkled in the middle. The meat on a pig head can be divided into nearly thirty portions.
Guests who want to eat spicy food can eat it with the chili in the middle, and those who do not want spicy food can omit it.
"Delicious pork head meat, guest officer, this is for your table." Xiao Er came over with two stacks of pork head meat.
The guests at this table originally only ordered more than 400 less than [-] copper coins. I heard that there is now a tasting event where a stack of pork heads will be given away when they spend [-] copper coins. Dish of pork head.
The guest smelled the aroma of braised pork head meat as soon as he entered the room, and after taking a sip impatiently, he immediately stopped Xiaoer who had not had time to leave: "How will you sell this pork head meat in the future?"
"From now on, this stewed pig's head will serve you a whole pig's head directly, and you can eat a whole pig's head for [-] copper coins, and all the meat on it will be yours." The shop clerk introduced cheerfully.
"When will it start selling?" The customer's eyes lit up when he heard about a whole piece of pork.
"Well, I heard from our shopkeeper that we will start selling pigs tomorrow, and there are only three pig heads a day." Xiao Er told the truth.
"Three! This is too little."
"The pig heads are bought from the Lin family in Linjia Village, and there are only twelve or three pig heads every day. We now have five stores in Jufulou, and we can get three pig heads in our store, which is already a lot." The shop assistant was also very embarrassed, It’s not easy to raise pigs. People in Lin’s Village have raised only a few hundred heads for half a year. He leaned into the guest’s ear and continued in a low voice, “I heard that after the Chinese New Year, all the pigs in Lin’s Village will be killed, and you may not be able to eat pork heads by then. .”
After inquiring clearly, the guest generously gave Xiao Er a few copper coins as a reward.
It is foreseeable that this dish of stewed pork head will become the first dish in Jufulou beyond the popularity of roasted whole rabbit.
There are only three pig heads a day. According to the habit of Jufu Building, reservations are definitely not accepted. It is estimated that those who want to eat can line up from the west gate to the east gate.
This time, it was Lin Xiazhi who proposed the free tasting of pork head meat worth [-] Wen in Jufulou, and it was always a free tasting in the past.
This time, the conditional tasting will not only achieve the purpose of tasting, but also drive the sales of other dishes in Jufulou, killing two birds with one stone.
This promotion method, which was used badly in the previous life, quickly became popular in Jiangning County, and other restaurants followed suit, trying every means to attract customers.
Cheng Wenliu has always listened to Lin Xiazhi's words, and kept the price of Jufulou unchanged when it was not for food tasting or special events, and there was no discount if there was no free food. Rich merchants with money are willing to spend money in Jufulou.
A stewed pork head meat that was originally priced at [-] copper plates was sold to five taels of silver, and there was no place to buy it at ten taels of silver. The guests who can come to Jufulou for dinner are not the ones who are short of money. After finally waiting for the stewed pork head meat, of course Keep it for yourself.
This dish of stewed pork head became popular in Jiangning County and even the whole Lishui County. Other shops don’t have the pig’s head from Lin’s village and the stewed ingredients from Lin’s family. If the price is lower, there will be customers.
Customers who have never been able to eat Jufulou braised pork head meat and want to eat it can still eat it in the outside shop.
It was even worse for those who had no chance to eat it later. Their appetite was lost because of Jufulou's raising, and they didn't like the stewed pig's head meat made outside.
At this time, new products with ten miles of fragrance also appeared in the store.
According to Lin Xiazhi's description, Yang Yusheng made three kinds of meatballs, one is pork meatballs, the second is fish meatballs, and the third is vegetarian meatballs.
The three kinds of meatballs can be made into a round shape with the help of the kind of meatball mold designed by Lin Xiazhi. They are threaded together with long bamboo sticks, coated with special tomato sauce or chili sauce, and they are full of fragrance after taking a bite. Hot, just take a bite.
The clerk of Piaoxiang Tenli trained for several days to make this seemingly simple but difficult small ball into the perfect shape and taste in a short time.
Fill the dark semicircular holes with different flavors of batter. After the outermost layer of batter is baked and the batter inside will not flow freely, use a long bamboo stick to quickly erect the semicircle. , Continue to pour batter into the vacated semicircle hole.
The whole process was smooth and smooth, and the person standing in front of the small ball grinding machine took his time and baked the small balls one by one, neatly stacking them together.
After the ingredients are heated, they will emit a charming fragrance. The taste of the small meatballs is not as strong as that of fried chicken cutlets, and it is impossible to judge the taste from its appearance. After watching the whole production process, the guests are hesitant to buy small meatballs. Taste it.
"Meatballs cost two cents a penny, vegetarian meatballs cost a penny each, and it's the first time it's sold for half the price. Meatballs cost a penny each, and vegetarian meatballs cost a penny. Don't miss it when you pass by." The brother in charge of making small meatballs The son yelled while baking a plate.
Customers who were wondering whether to try it were attracted by the price of the small meatballs, and bought a pork meatball, a fish meatball, and two vegetarian meatballs for three Wen.
The small meatballs baked with a special mold can taste less greasy than deep-fried in the mouth, and the taste is much lighter without making people feel that the taste is not enough. Eat it in one bite, the skin is crispy and the heart is soft, and the mouth is full of a kind unique taste.
"Xiaoer, give me another six cents, two vegetarian meatballs, one pork meatball, and three fish meatballs."
"Do guests take away or eat here?"
"take away."
"Okay, I'll give it to you right away."
As long as the guests have tasted the new small meatballs produced by Piaoxiang Shili, they will basically become repeat customers, especially those with children at home, and they will even clamor to eat a few meatballs every day before they can give up.
A well-made meatball is only as big as a baby's fist, which is much smaller than buns at the same price. If adults eat meatballs, they can only eat half full for more than ten yuan. However, there are still an endless stream of customers who love to eat. Absolutely.
Apparently, the small balls made by Lin Xiazhi and Yang Yusheng were a success and became a new hot-selling delicacy in Piaoxiang Shili.
Now, with its unique snacks, Piaoxiang Ten Mile has become one of the famous shops in Lishui County. Passing merchants will come to Piaoxiang Ten Mile to eat once when they have time, and then spread the reputation of Piaoxiang Ten Mile more and more widely.
At the end of November, the backyard of the Lin family, the open space of the tofu house, and the eaves were all hung with sausages or bacon.
During this time, the dogs in the family were always restless. In order to appease them, the Lin family fed them well every day and told them not to covet the meat hanging in the yard.
In order to prevent animals from outside stealing food, the Lin family had to arrange for the family servants to take turns to watch the night every day.
Those who arrange vigil will be rewarded. Correspondingly, if there is a situation of being eaten by animals, monthly money will also be deducted.
There were rewards and punishments, which minimized the loss of sausage and bacon during drying. Lin Xiazhi felt relieved for Li Xiu and Yang Yusheng after hearing what Lin Xiaodong said.
The Lin family kills pigs, the meat is made into corresponding food, and the pig's head is sold to Jufulou. After marinating the offal and leftovers, half of it is given away in Piaoxiang Shili, bringing a new round of popularity to Piaoxiang Shili.
In order to get the stewed pork presented by Piaoxiang Ten Li, some people originally only bought [-] Wen for food, but forcibly scraped together [-] Wen to get half a catty of braised pork, or customers who were not short of money, previously only bought [-] Wen or [-] Wen. Wen's, at this moment, I can make up a hundred coins, and I will send a catty of stewed pork directly after the fragrance is ten miles away. When I take it home, I can add a dish to the family, and it can also be served as a drink.
The other half was given by the Lin family to the guards guarding the city in Jiangning County. There was not only marinated meat, but also a bowl of steaming bone soup to warm the soldiers standing guard in the cold wind.
The fragrant stewed meat and bone soup are a perfect match in winter. The soldiers who had a much bigger appetite than ordinary people directly drank it in three bowls to expel the cold from their bodies.
