Chapter 269 Excitement
Lin opened the bamboo basket and took a look. Inside was the processed sea cucumber. She had asked the escort team to deliver a message yesterday, but she didn't expect Old Guo to deliver it so quickly.
Sea cucumbers cannot be stored and are only delicious when fresh, so she doesn't plan to use them to develop new dishes. However, she can dry more of them and grind them into powder to use as MSG for seasoning.
The sea cucumbers that were delivered had their internal organs processed according to Lin's method. They were weighed and estimated to be about ten pounds.
Lin took out a small half and divided it into three portions. The amount she sent last time was too little and the children finished it in one meal. This time, while it was still fresh, she sent one portion each to Yu and Cuicui so that they could try it.
The door was open, and Lidong came out of the house just in time. Lin smiled and waved, calling her in.
Lidong was raised by several older brothers. She is impetuous and like a tomboy.
When he heard that Silang was going to Lindong County to set up a stall, he volunteered to go with him. His little face was sunburned, but his eyes were bright and shining.
"Fourth brother! Why are you slacking off here?"
As soon as she entered the house, she saw her fourth brother sitting steadily on a stool. Lidong was so angry that her nose was crooked. She was still waiting for him to move the things in together.
Lin poured them two bowls of bran water.
"Don't worry about that for a while, sit down and take a rest first. Auntie San wants to hear about your stall today."
"Thank you, third aunt."
Lidong took the bowl, tilted her head back and drank it. She was really thirsty as she hadn't drunk a drop of water on the way back.
The bran was obtained from Old Lady Cui. Farmers were reluctant to spend money on tea, so every family would fry the bran and soak it in water to drink.
Lin likes the taste very much, which has a light wheat aroma.
Lidong didn’t feel satisfied with the first bowl, so he ordered another one and filled his stomach with water.
Si Lang also drank a large bowl, put down the bowl and said proudly: "Auntie San, didn't you see that so many people lined up to buy our pancakes. They almost fought to get the last two pancakes."
When talking about setting up a stall, Lidong couldn't control her excitement and held the bowl tightly with both hands, but what she said was not as exaggerated as Shilang.
"At first, no one came to buy. But the fourth brother was very creative. He stood in front of the stall and shouted, and cut meat for free for passers-by. Later, people started to pay for the pancakes. I don't know what happened after that, but more and more people came, and in the busy time, the pancakes were sold out."
Looking back on Lidong, it feels like a dream.
Si Lang blushed at the praise: "I also learned this from Aunt San a while ago, but I didn't expect it to sell so quickly. I originally thought I could only sell about twenty at most."
He only prepared fifty pancakes, and they were all sold out in less than an hour.
Lin smiled and praised, "It's great to be able to put what you learned into practice."
Shi Lang clenched his fists. "I plan to bring a hundred pancakes with me tomorrow. The escort team said we can stay there for two hours, which is enough time to sell them all."
One pancake costs ten coins, and one hundred pancakes cost one tael of silver. After deducting the cost, you can earn more than three hundred coins.
If you sell 200 pancakes, that would be more than 600 coins.
Shiro didn't dare to think about it, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't help laughing.
Li Dong was a little confused: "But Aunt San, why couldn't it be sold at the beginning, but many people came to buy it later?"
She was so busy that she had no time to think. She just felt that one thing after another would never be finished.
Lin smiled. "Because the dock workers are all laborers who do heavy work, they don't have a fixed meal schedule. As soon as the boat docks, they rush over to grab work. For them, the food is not important, as long as it's convenient and filling. Soups are too hot. The pancakes you sell have meat and vegetables, and more importantly, they're convenient. When there's work to do, they just stuff it in their arms and go back to work."
