Traveling through 1942 with space

Chapter 168 Tasting, setting up stalls

Children are the most honest with their mouths, so let the little ones eat first.

The little ones were so happy that their noses were bubbling. Each of them had a small bowl and they ate happily, taking a bite from here and there.

"How's it going?"

"You finished eating and didn't even say a word."

"squeak!"

"Mm! Mom, this one with meat is still the best."

Heidan was patted on the back of the head by his old mother. He put down his bowl and stared at the spicy soup in the pot with unsatisfied look and said honestly.

"Nonsense, the one with meat contains broth and beef, of course it's good." Li Cuihua rolled her eyes at her son.

"Then why are you asking me?"

"Forehead!"

"Ha ha!"

But it was delicious enough, at least it could be sold without any problem. Then the adults began to taste it and give their comments on the ordinary Hu La Tang.

Hou Xiaoge also scooped a bowl of the regular version, and according to the customer's way of eating, he added red chili oil and started soaking the pancakes.

The chewy Erhe noodle pancakes are filled with the spicy spicy soup. When you take a bite, you can taste the spicy flavor of the ingredients. They are better than those sold in many stalls in later generations.

Just at this moment, Hou Xiaoge was sure that the business was stable.

The next step is to do it once in the system in the afternoon, calculate the cost, and officially go on sale tomorrow.

After tasting it, the adults naturally praised it. They said that the food cooked at home is much more delicious. Eating a bowl of it in the middle of winter makes them feel comfortable all over.

"Er Da, Second Aunt, let's do this! Tomorrow, make some of both the high-end and ordinary ones. Make more of the ordinary ones and less of the high-end ones.

If the high-end model can be sold, I suggest you sell both types in the future.

After all, the ingredients of this ordinary Hu La Tang are average, so it can still sell well in years of disaster. In normal years, the high-end ones are still easier to sell, and their reputation spreads better.

Otherwise, people will say you are cutting corners, which is not good for your business reputation. "Looking at the empty pot, Hou Xiaoge suggested with a smile.

"Heiwa, we have never done business in our lives and we don't understand anything. We will listen to you no matter what you say." Erda Houminyou also said with a smile on his face.

"Yes, Heiwa, I can do it if you ask me to. But I'm afraid I won't be able to say anything when you mention setting up a stall tomorrow. You decide how to do it, and we will listen to you." Second Aunt said quickly.

"hehe!"

“Er Da, Second Aunt, don’t be nervous. No one is born knowing how to do business. We all learn as we go along.

If you don't believe me, ask my uncle. When we first set up the stall, none of us could speak it very well, but after a while, we all learned it." Hou Xiaoge smiled and comforted them, asking them not to be nervous.

In the evening, the whole family came back and waited to taste it together.

Hou Xiaoge guided Second Aunt as she cooked. With her previous experience, the gluten was prepared in advance, so when cooking, she just put the ingredients into the pot. She learned quickly.

When the final product came out, everyone gave it a thumbs up, and the Erda couple were so happy that their eyes were filled with laughter.

The next step is to calculate the cost. The high-end version finally costs three cents per bowl, while the low-end version costs one cent.

Finally, after comparing the prices at stalls outside, the high-end version sold for six cents, while the low-end version sold for two cents, and neither came with a cake.

"Heiwa, isn't the price of this ordinary spicy soup too low? Other stores at the train station sell it for three cents." Hou Yangmin said.

"A person only earns 20 or 30 cents a day at most, so three cents for a bowl of rice is too much.

Besides, our ordinary spicy soup has fewer ingredients than others and we don’t use broth, so two cents is enough and it can become famous faster.

And every penny counts, as long as you sell it quickly, you’ll make a lot of money.

This big bucket can hold about 70 bowls, the big pot can hold 50 bowls, plus the 30 bowls in the small pot, as long as they are sold out, uncle, you can calculate the profit. "Hou Xiaoge asked with a smile.

"The gross profit is 2.1 yuan a day. After deducting taxes, marketing fees, and handling expenses, I can make at least 1 or 2 yuan a day." Hou Yangmin said after calculating.

"And there are cakes! I don't sell more in a day. I sell fifty cakes and make at least three cents per cake, which is about twenty cents.

Except for heavy rain or special weather, I open the stall 24 days a month and earn nearly 30 yuan. Second Aunt, do you think this money is enough? "After saying this, Hou Xiaoge smiled and looked at the Second Aunt beside him.

"Satisfied, very satisfied. This is too much. I'll be content if I can earn ten dollars a month." Second Aunt Li Cuihua said excitedly, clapping her hands.

"Ha ha!"

After Second Aunt finished speaking, a burst of laughter came from the cave.

"Heiwa, your uncle took twenty dollars from you today to buy something. I will return it to you in two months." When everyone left Erda's house, Erda held Hou Xiaoge's hand and whispered.

"It doesn't matter. We are all family. Erda, take good care of your legs. Good days are still to come!

Go back and have some rest! You still have to work early tomorrow." Hou Xiaoge looked at Erda who was very excited and said a few words to comfort him.

"Well! Erda, thank you." Looking at Hou Xiaoge who was leaving, Hou Minyou said in a low voice.

Chinese people have always been more reserved. It is difficult for elders to express their gratitude to younger generations, so it is very sincere for them to say so.

Hearing Erda's words of thanks, Hou Xiaoge paused, shook his head, and continued walking towards home.

At around four o'clock the next morning, Second Aunt came and knocked on the door. Wang Maimiao had already gotten up to braise the meat, so when he heard it, he hurried over to open the door.

"Who?"

"Her third aunt is me!"

"His second aunt, you got up so early?" Wang Maimiao said quickly.

"Oh! I was working on the stall today. I was so hot that I couldn't sleep, so I got up early.

The spicy soup is just ready, I'll come over and serve it to you." Li Cuihua handed a small bowl to Wang Maimiao.

"Hey, this, it's still for sale! What are you doing?" Wang Maimiao felt a little embarrassed when looking at the fragrant spicy soup.

"Her third aunt, take it! If it weren't for you, our family wouldn't be where it is today." Li Cuihua stuffed the basin into Wang Maimiao's hands without any hesitation.

“Okay, you guys go back and pack your things. I’ve braised the meat here, and we’ll set up the stall together in half an hour.” Wang Maimiao said with a smile.

"middle"

Ever since Hou Xiaoge taught his cheap mother how to make braised pork, he usually sleeps until dawn, so there is no chance for him to set up a stall today.

"Heiwa, get up quickly. You have to set up a stall for your Erda family today. Your second aunt has brought the spicy soup, and it's still hot. Get up and eat quickly." Wang Maimiao patted the cave door and shouted from outside.

"Woke up!"

Hou Xiaoge climbed out of the warm bed in a daze, and a chill immediately rushed into the bed.

"Oh my god, it's so damn cold in this twelfth month!" Hou Xiaoge quickly went into the space to put on clothes.

After getting dressed in the space, Hou Xiaoge didn't wash his face, but just brushed his teeth, and then went straight out of the cave.

"The hot water has been scooped out, so hurry up and wash yourself. Scoop the rice yourself. It's too cold and it will get cold as soon as you scoop it out." Wang Maimiao's voice came from the big kitchen.

"Ok!"

In the cave where Wang Maimiao and her mother slept, neither the elder sister nor Wang Maimiao were at home. A pot of spicy soup was covered on the table. In the corner was a rack for washbasins with a towel on it.

Porcelain and copper washbasins are both valuable items and Hou Xiaoge's family could not possibly use them. The washbasin is made of wood and the hot water inside is steaming.

Hou Xiaoge picked up the washcloth he bought for two cents and washed his face, and he immediately felt refreshed.
