Chapter 369 Qin Family Business Opening
In addition to vegetarian dishes, they also prepared three meat dishes for everyone to choose from. One was the braised meat that Qin Shouren and his brother sold. They made it at home every day, so it was very convenient to just take it ready-made.
The other one is radish and pork bone soup, and minced meat tofu. Both of them contain a lot of fresh meat and are very expensive.
The staple food is corn rice, and potatoes are cooked into potato pancakes. The staple food is very cheap. As long as you eat here, you can add one penny to get a staple food. You can choose one of the two.
After preparing everything, I happened to catch up with the men in the village getting off work, and a group of people were walking towards this side.
Everyone hurriedly pushed all these things onto the cart and walked to the side of the road. A long row of tables had already been set up next to them for everyone to eat. The prices were written on a large banner, and everyone could eat as needed.
"It's hot and freshly cooked. Don't miss it if you pass by. It's cheap and delicious. You can eat and drink your fill for just a few cents. It's very convenient."
"Everyone in the village, come and take a look. It's honest and delicious, guaranteed."
Jiang and Chen were waiting by the side with two large pots and spoons, shouting non-stop.
It was lunchtime at this moment. The men had just come from the construction site and were about to go home for a meal. When they passed by here, they happened to see several large tables set up on the roadside.
There were several large basins on top, filled with a variety of dishes that looked exquisite and delicious. When the breeze blew, the aroma of the dishes gently caressed everyone's nose, making the already hungry people drool even more.
You could vaguely see minced meat inside, which made people who hadn't eaten meat for a long time even more excited, and everyone walked towards that side unconsciously.
"Grandma Qin, are you selling food in the village? It smells so good."
"Exactly. I could smell it from far away. It looks delicious. I even saw minced meat and braised pork in it. How do you sell it?"
Old Lady Qin introduced them with a smile: "Our staple food is corn rice and potato pancakes, only one cent a portion. Vegetarian dishes are also the same price, and you can drink seaweed egg drop soup for free. The meat dishes are more expensive. Buy a meat dish and get a free carrot and pork bone soup. Meat dishes are three cents a portion..."
The villagers have had a much better life recently, but they can just fill their stomachs and every meal is very light. In addition, the adults are working outside, so the meals are prepared by the children at home, which makes them even more bland and tasteless.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the two large pots of meat and vegetables.
Minced meat tofu is a dish made with rich gravy, tender white tofu, and garnished with chopped green onions. It looks very appetizing.
There is no need to say much about the other braised meat. Anyone who has tasted it at the banquet will never forget it.
"Grandma, my mom told me to come over for lunch, so I just got home from school!"
Awen ran over like a little cat, put his small schoolbag on the bench, and then reached out to order food.
"Grandma, I want to eat this bean curd with some braised pork and a potato pancake. Come on, grandma, I'm starving."
Old Lady Qin couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, okay, I promise you won't starve here with Grandma."
The old lady picked up the bowl and chopsticks swiftly and started to serve the dishes. She used corn rice as the base and poured a full spoonful of minced meat and tofu on top. The bright soup flowed along the rice, and the whole meal was very tempting.
Awen took out a few copper coins from his pocket and put them on the table, then took the big bowl, walked to the side of the road and started eating in big mouthfuls.
"Ahhhh, this tofu is so tender, like tofu pudding, and it's covered with meat particles. It's so fragrant... Grandma, your dish is so delicious..."
He kept exclaiming in praise of the deliciousness while eating, which immediately aroused the appetite of the onlookers.
He finished a big bowl of rice in a short while, then took out a potato pancake and started eating it. He added egg liquid to it, and the whole pancake was baked to a tender yellow color, which looked very fragrant.
In the end, he ran over and filled his bowl with bone soup, and felt very satisfied after taking a sip.
"Grandma, this soup is so fresh and tender, just like eating meat... Woohoo... It's so delicious, I want another bowl, but I really can't eat anymore..."
With Awen, a live food blogger, here, how could the people, who were already eager to make some food, restrain themselves?
Even if they eat a meat dish, a meal only costs a few cents. You know, their daily wages are more than 30 cents, so it is still enough to have a meal.
Of course, there are also people who are reluctant to spend the money and want to save money to buy a new house, so they are only willing to buy one portion for the whole family. Even with this, they are already very satisfied.
Everyone rushed over to buy food, and after getting it, they walked aside to start eating.
"Oh my god, Aunt Qin, your cooking skills are amazing! They taste better than what I make myself."
"That's right. I can taste the meat even when I eat vegetarian dishes. Just tell me you're not right."
"It's so delicious! I'm already full with this portion, but I still want to eat more. Grandma Qin, can you sell it again tomorrow? I want to eat this every day."
"It smells so good, woooooo..."
"..."
Many villagers who don’t have time to cook are willing to come here to eat. It only costs ten cents at most, and they can have a meal with vegetables, meat and soup. It’s a good deal no matter how you think about it.
They didn't prepare much food today, they wanted to make fifty servings to test the waters, but they were sold out in no time.
Many people don’t have time to eat after playing for a while after work, and can only go home frustrated and eat plain meals.
After everyone left, Chen looked at the copper coins in the money basket, her eyes shining. "Oh my God, I didn't expect these to actually sell. I made so much money from just fifty servings today. If I can make a few more pots in the future, I'll be rich."
Old Lady Qin took the purse speechlessly and said, "It's not as easy as you think. Have you calculated the cost? And the manpower we put in? It all costs money."
The biggest expense here was the fresh meat bought in the morning. There were more than two pounds in this pot, and the total cost was more than fifty coins. There was also the cost of tofu. The cabbage and wild vegetables were all picked at home for free. Add two pork bones and eggs, and the cost was less than a hundred coins.
After deducting the cost of their own labor, what remains is their net profit today.
Old Lady Qin counted carefully and found that there were a total of 480 coins, which means that they made a net profit of about 300 coins in half a day.
Everyone present at the Qin family held their breath. They earned so much money in just one afternoon. If they increased the amount in the future, plus the dinner in the evening... if they calculated it this way, it was not impossible to earn at most one or two taels of silver a day.
