The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 838 The Housekeeper's Daughter Watching the Young Master's Love (Ancient Times) 9

Because the family had good food, Su Xiangran's body developed well, at least she was a little taller than other children of the same age.

Now that she was wearing a headscarf and disguising herself when she went out, she looked more like one of those old ladies in the countryside who were a little hunched over when they got older, so no one found it strange.

Carrying a basket, walking on the street of the morning market, Su Xiangran first observed the environment, then found a decent place to sit down, and then began to sell her own pancakes imitating the shouting she had just heard.

"I'm selling pancakes! Delicious egg pancakes!" Su Xiangran's disguised voice made her look more like an old lady. "If they're not delicious, I won't pay!"

After shouting several times, a customer finally came over and asked, "Are there really eggs in here?"

The man obviously didn't believe it, but when he saw that the cake was yellowish in color and smelled delicious, he decided to buy one to try.

"It smells so good!" After eating the pancake with scallion oil for the first time, the man couldn't help but exclaimed, "Boss, what did you put in it? It smells so good!"

"It's just eggs! Maybe it's my cooking skills!" Su Xiangran said with a smile, but she thought in her heart that she must not tell others that she used scallion oil, even though people here may not know what scallions are!

"It's delicious, but a little expensive!" The man finished the last bite of the pancake reluctantly. "Although you put eggs in this pancake, it costs six cents each!"

Su Xiangran explained with a smile: "There are only eggs in there, and here there is also some minced meat! And this pancake is fried, not steamed, so it is very filling."

After hearing this, the man became interested and bought another one. After taking a few bites, he said in surprise, "I can still taste the meat, but not much!"

The people standing behind him laughed at him, "What are you thinking! It's only six cents a piece. It's good enough if you can taste the meat. You expect it to be filled with meat fillings!"

The man ignored the other person and bought several more. "This egg pancake is so delicious! I want to buy a few more to bring back for my family to try."

After saying that, he ate the cake with big mouthfuls and made a gesture of praise to Su Xiangran.

"Boss, how many cakes do you have here?" After that man left, the person who had just lined up behind him became a little worried. After all, the basket didn't look big, and the man seemed to have bought several.

Su Xiangran calculated and said, "There are probably seven or eight more! How many customers do you want?"

"I'll have five!" He then took out money to buy the pancakes. He had seen the man eating them with relish before, so after paying, he ate one too. It was really good, and he nodded repeatedly as he ate.

In this way, the remaining few egg pancakes of Su Xiangran were quickly sold out.

She counted the coins in her hand happily, feeling that her efforts were not in vain.

Looking at the empty basket, Su Xiangran decided to make more cakes tomorrow, but she couldn't expand the scale all at once.

While thinking about this, I walked towards the butcher shop.

The place where Su Xiangran lived was called Dading Prefecture, a relatively prosperous first-class prefecture.

Here, butcher shops are in a semi-monopolistic state. There are three butcher shops and three meat stalls in the city, all run by the Shao family.

They were able to achieve this not only because they had opened a relatively large pig farm in a village outside the city, but also because there were people from their family in the inspection department of the city.

The most important thing is that someone from the Shao family is an official in the imperial capital, and they even have a pork shop there.

After pigs from all over the town have passed through the Shao family’s sight, they will be able to tell whether the pork is good or not.

This is not bragging. They were the ones who discovered the outbreak of swine fever in the area several times.

During this period, some people tried to get away with it, but they were all found out.

At that time, some people wanted to bribe the Shao family, so they burned their own problematic pigs in public.

"As the saying goes, 'Diseases come from the mouth.' Pork is something that needs to be eaten." The head of the Shao family at the time said firmly, "My Shao family will never sell pork with problems."

It is precisely because of these things that a "brand" effect was formed, and basically everyone would go to Shao's shop and stall to buy pork.

And the Shao family is also very business-minded.

The pork stall is located near the houses where ordinary people live and looks very down-to-earth. The things sold there may not be that good, but they are relatively cheap.

The shop was opened near restaurants and wealthy families, which was convenient for delivery and purchase.

Su Xiangran first went to the pork shop and bought a piece of pork belly.

This was bought in front of everyone.

At this time, the person who bought her pancakes before was still walking around the morning market. When he saw her buying meat, he praised her and said, "What the boss said was right. The pancakes really have meat in them."

"And it's good meat!" another person echoed, "The meat in this shop is not cheap!"

Would Su Xiangran buy such good meat to add to the pancake? Of course not, this was a dish she specially added to the family today because her brother Su Cheng was coming back today.

Afterwards, she deliberately took a detour and returned to Su's house to change out of this outfit, put on her ordinary clothes, and went to the Shao family's meat stall three streets away to buy meat.
