Chapter 295 Go to the County in Person

The workshop's braised food and marinated pork ribs are selling very well. Everyone who has eaten them has spoken highly of them. The young men in charge of the sales are also very savvy. When selling food, they also do not forget to promote the pigs raised in their village. In just a few days, several butchers have come to the village to inquire whether they will sell live pigs. However, the price they offer is only one cent higher than the pigs sold outside. The villagers are not fools and are all still waiting and watching.

Time passed slowly, and it was almost late December. People who had worked hard for a whole year were starting to prepare for the New Year. The sausages and bacon in the workshop could finally be sold. On this day, Mu Yunran found Shen Xiangwan early in the morning and insisted on taking her to the county town to check the sales of sausages and bacon. In addition, Zhao Yuping was also worried, so Shen Xiangwan had no choice but to take Yuanyue and Yuanying with her.

"What a delicious smell, Shopkeeper Cheng, what are you selling at the stall outside the door?"

"Yes, it smells so good, even better than those braised pork ribs sold in the county town recently. What is it?"

"Hey little bro, what on earth are you selling? I'm so greedy."

"Is it meat? I smell the aroma of meat..."

Outside Wei's Bookstore in the county, people who came to buy books and passers-by all stopped and looked at the stall that was two meters long and about one meter wide. At this time, a big pot was set up on the stove next to the stall. The fragrance came from the pot. Because it was covered with a lid, no one knew what was inside, which aroused everyone's curious discussion.

Seeing more and more people gathering around, the few young people who were chosen to sell things were inevitably a little reserved. Cheng Yusheng, who had stayed in the shop on purpose, stepped forward and said, "Everyone, they are villagers from Yong'an Village. Today we are going to sell some food that you have never seen before. We will issue 100 wooden signs later. Anyone who receives a wooden sign can taste a piece of meat for free after it is cooked. I hope everyone will give me some face and don't crowd or make noise. Just line up and come one by one."

His wife had personally instructed him to endorse the village workshop, so Cheng Yusheng dared not disobey. Nowadays, Wei's Bookstore had a very high status in the city. With his endorsement as the shopkeeper, the onlookers did not say anything. The clerk quickly brought the wooden signs and distributed them to those who lined up voluntarily.

“Isn’t this too fragrant?”

"Is it cooked? What kind of meat is it? Why does it smell so good?"

"Oh my goodness, I'm almost dizzy with the fragrance."

"Look at that sizzling oil. My mouth is watering."

"Hurry up, cut it up and let us taste it."

After a while, thinking that it should be almost done, a young man suppressed his fear, opened the lid of the pot, and used specially made long bamboo chopsticks to pick out the steamed sausages and bacon from the pot. The others immediately took out chopping boards and kitchen knives, and started cutting as soon as they cooled down a little. Smelling the rich aroma, no matter if they had received a sign or not, they all couldn't help swallowing their saliva and urged the process on.

“It seems pretty good.”

Shen Xiangwan entered the bookstore with Mu Yunran and Zhao Dashan. Seeing more and more people gathered around, the smile on her face became even brighter. At least they had succeeded in the first step. Now that they had popularity, why would they be afraid of not having a market?
"Ah."

Zhao Dashan, who came with them, was so excited that his face turned red, and his eyes were fixed on their stall, fearing that something unexpected would happen. You know, they had to slaughter more than a dozen pigs every day, and the workshop was already full of sausages and bacon. If they couldn't sell them, not only him, but everyone in the third branch of the Zhao family would probably cry to death. Moreover, those villagers who were gossiping behind their backs would probably gloat over their misfortune.

“You can try it now.”

Several people quickly cut several large plates of sausages and bacon. In order not to cause trouble for Cheng Yusheng, they all plucked up their courage and walked towards those who had received the wooden signs with the plates in their hands.

"Let me try it first. Hmm... It's delicious. It's spicy and numbing. It's so delicious."

The first man in line couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of spicy sausage and put it in his mouth. He chewed it for two bites and gave a thumbs up. Then he tasted a piece of spiced sausage and bacon respectively: "These are also delicious. I haven't been to school, so I don't know how to put it. It's just damn delicious."

"Hurry up, let us have a taste too."

Hearing this, the people behind them urged them urgently, and several young people hurriedly walked towards them. For a moment, there was no one at the stall. Seeing this situation, Shen Xiangwan couldn't help shaking his head and walked over. Mu Yunran, Zhao Dashan, Yuan Yue Yuanying looked at each other, and took the initiative to take out the sausages and bacon and placed them neatly on the stall.

"What kind of meat is this? How much is it... You, are you Mrs. Wei?" The man who had tasted the sausages and bacon first saw that the stall was full and immediately wanted to ask the price. But when he saw Shen Xiangwan, he was so nervous that he stuttered. The incident when Shen Xiangwan sued Shen Xiangyue in court that day caused a huge uproar. After all, so many things were involved later. Everyone who had seen her was impressed by her. Later, they found out that she was actually the owner of Wei's Bookstore, and her reputation became more and more famous.

"This is sausage, this is bacon, both are dry goods. You can buy them to eat yourself or give as gifts. They are also very convenient to store. Just hang them in a well-ventilated place and they will last for two or three months."

Shen Xiangwan smiled slightly, picked up the sausages and bacon and introduced them. Zhao Dashan, who was with her, stepped forward quickly: "Wanwan, let me do it. It's too greasy here. Don't get your clothes dirty."

"It's okay."

Shen Xiangwan didn't take it to heart at all. With a smile on her face, she looked at the people who had gathered around her after tasting the food. "Look, both the sausages and bacon are made from the best meat. You've tasted them, do you want to buy some?"

"How, how did you sell it?"

The sausages and bacon were indeed delicious, the man who asked the question at the beginning still stuttered. There was nothing he could do, Shen Xiangwan's appearance was too eye-catching, no one could easily ignore her.

"Fifty cents a pound!"

"what?"

Shen Xiangwan smiled and quoted the price. Zhao Dashan was stunned. Didn't they say it would be sold at 40 wen per catty? Why did the price suddenly increase?

"Today is our first day of sales, and we are offering a 20% discount, so it's 40 cents per pound. But it's only for today, so don't think it's expensive. The reason why our sausages and bacon taste so good is because we use a lot of spices to marinate them. Some of them are not even available in Chenzhou. We specially get them from the Imperial City, and the price is not cheap."

Ignoring Zhao Dashan, Shen Xiangwan continued with a smile, people who can afford sausages and bacon won't care about that little bit of money, and people who can't afford it won't buy it even if it's twenty cents a pound. He would suddenly raise the price because he knows that people who have tasted it will not leave. Since he can make more money, why not make more?

"Fifty cents a pound is indeed a bit expensive."

"But it's really delicious, and it's 20% off today."

"No, after tasting it, I'm even more hungry. Give me two pounds of sausage and bacon!"

"I want three pounds of each, too!"

"I want a whole piece of bacon as a gift, no matter how heavy it is!"

At first everyone thought it was too expensive, but after the first person made a purchase, many people couldn't hold back and came up one after another to say they wanted to buy. The young people who had run away before also came back. The stall was so small that Shen Xiangwan simply went back to the store with Mu Yunran and Yuan Yue and Yuan Ying. The situation had been opened up for them, and if they still didn't know what to do, they would be hopeless.

"Don't worry, ma'am. They are all working very hard."

Looking at the stall with them, Cheng Yusheng said sincerely that Zhao Dashan had brought the younger generations of his family to see him many times during this period, all for today. As long as they put aside their cowardice, they would do well.

"Ah."

Turning her head to look at him, Shen Xiangwan nodded. If they were not willing to work hard, he would not help them to this extent. To be honest, she didn't even care so much about her own workshop.
