Chapter 385 I Can’t Be Happy Anymore
This went on for several days, and the reputation of Cui's grain shop spread throughout the capital.
One thing that must be mentioned is that the steward of the Wang family, as soon as he brought his people back that day, he hurriedly delivered the buns and steamed buns to the old lady's yard.
I heard that they were just some steamed buns bought from the street, and the old women serving them were a little impatient.
Everyone wanted to please the old lady and rushed to send her many things. Even ordinary steamed buns and buns made outside could not be as good as those made at home.
Just as she was about to ask Steward Wang to take it out, the old lady had already smelled the fragrance and told her to send it in.
Now the old women didn't dare to object anymore and quickly took the oil paper from Manager Wang and wrapped it in it.
The old lady hadn't had a proper meal for several days. This time, smelling the fragrance, she ate a steamed bun and a steamed bun in one go.
Manager Wang was delighted, knowing that the matter was settled. He quickly asked the servant to take the newly bought rice to the small kitchen, and cooked a pot of soft, sweet and fragrant rice porridge and sent it in.
It is said that ever since Old Lady Wang had this meal, she completely fell in love with the rice and noodles from Cui’s Grain Shop.
As long as the food is made from this kind of rice and flour, she will have a good appetite and eat it with great relish.
After a few days, my complexion improved a lot, I felt more energetic, and I no longer felt sickly.
Lord Wang was overjoyed and immediately announced that all the food eaten by his masters would be replaced with food purchased by the Cui family.
Having solved a big problem for his masters, Manager Wang not only received a generous reward, but was also promoted and reused by his masters, which made him very proud.
There are many such situations. On the first day, as long as the food bought by the managers was cooked, everyone who ate it was conquered by its sweet taste.
They are all well-known people. It’s just that the rice and noodles are a little more expensive. You don’t need any money at all. Just buy it if it tastes good.
So soon, the food from Cui's grain store became popular in most of the capital city. It seemed that if you could eat Cui's grain, you would be superior to others.
After a period of busy work, Cuijia Mill was officially established.
As for the manpower needed for the mill, Uncle Cui followed Xu Qinghe's advice and bought all the people who had signed a death contract from Qian Da.
These grains cannot be tampered with by others. Even if outsiders say good things, it is not as safe as holding the indenture contract in one's own hands.
After the mill was operating normally, Uncle Cui's grain shop also stabilized. Because the business was booming, he simply invited Li Xiao and Tiedan to come and help long-term.
After a few days, it was discovered that there was too much food that needed to be delivered to the door. Even though there were five people in the shop, including Uncle Cui himself, they still couldn't handle it.
Li Xiao recommended the man named Hei Niu, and Uncle Cui also remembered the black-faced man who was as strong as an ox, and immediately asked Li Xiao to go back and call him over.
With the joining of Hei Niu, Uncle Cui felt a lot more relaxed.
Because of the buns and steamed buns that were given away before, people often come to ask these days if they have any more. They don’t want to take them for free and plan to pay for them.
Although the white rice and flour they bought from the store tasted very good, they always felt that the ones they made at home were not as delicious as the ones they had at Cui's house.
As more and more people came to ask questions, Uncle Cui also had other ideas.
You know, the reason why the steamed buns taste so good is inseparable from Lin’s craftsmanship.
After these days of dealing with each other, Uncle Cui and Lin became familiar with each other. Seeing that it was still early, he immediately handed over the work in his hands to his two sons and slowly walked towards the north of the city.
The two did not know what they discussed, but early the next morning, a large table was set up outside the Cui family's shop, with two tall rows of large steamers on it.
As the steamer was opened again and again, the familiar fragrance quickly spread again.
"Boss, why are you steaming buns again today?"
Someone passed by the shop, smelled the rich fragrance, and asked with a smile.
"Are you going to give it away for free for another three days?"
"The taste last time, tsk tsk tsk, I still can't forget it. It's a pity that my wife can't make that taste..."
Soon a large group of people gathered around and asked Uncle Cui questions.
"If we continue to send more, our small grain shop will soon lose its capital..."
Uncle Cui smiled and waved his hands. He knew that these people were not short of money. The reason they said this was just to join in the fun.
"You guys always say my steamed buns taste good, so I thought since you guys want to eat them, I'll just make them and sell them..."
After he finished speaking, he patted the large steamer next to him and said with a smile:
"A big, delicious meat bun costs five cents each, a white flour bun costs three cents each, and a bowl of white rice porridge costs two cents. In the first three days, to thank everyone for their support, if you buy ten buns, you'll get one for free..."
Whether it is steamed buns or steamed bread, the price is one penny more expensive than other places.
But if you spend ten and get one free, that's still a good deal.
Of course they would hurry up to grab a bargain if they could, and at this moment, they were already drooling at the fragrant smell.
"Quickly pack me twenty buns and twenty steamed buns..."
No one expected that the first person to shout out would be the original manager Wang.
The old lady always said that the cooks in the mansion could not cook food as delicious as that day. If the rice and flour did not taste good, she would not be able to eat it.
It was a rare opportunity to encounter it again today, so he bought a lot at once and planned to take it back for all the masters and ladies in the mansion to taste.
Because there were not many people buying food early in the morning, Uncle Cui and a few others were outside helping.
He was responsible for collecting the money, the Cui brothers were responsible for packing the buns, Li Xiao and Tiedan were responsible for packing the steamed buns, and as for the rice porridge, Hei Niu stood there and served it out bowl by bowl.
"Everyone, just eat here for a few days. We have already bought the shop next door. We will put tables and chairs there and add some side dishes. I hope everyone will come and show their support then..."
Uncle Cui was happily collecting money while talking to everyone.
Others said this was a good idea as it provided a place to sit down and eat slowly without having to worry about wind or rain.
Lin and her friends were still making dumplings in the backyard. The dough was kneaded into a ball in her hands, flattened with her hands, and stuffing was put on it. With her ten fingers flying, she quickly pinched out even folds, and a dumpling was ready.
The women were all quick and nimble, as if they had no idea of fatigue, and quickly made several large steamers of buns.
As more and more people appeared on the street, the scene outside the grain shop became more and more lively.
Hearing that one could get one for free if purchased within the first three days, they all spent money to buy it, thinking that they could not stand to lose out.
They were all busy all morning and finally sold out all the noodles they had prepared.
Although Uncle Cui was very busy, he was naturally overjoyed to see the money flowing into his pocket like water.
But Xu Linzhi's family was no longer happy.
