The reason why the congee with pork and century egg, the tofu with century egg, and the cold-tossed century egg were so cheap was that Li Zexuan wanted to sell the century egg on a large scale as soon as possible.
After all, if the normal consumption of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant and the canteen of Yanhuang Academy were to be relied on, the century eggs made from the eggs that Li Zexuan purchased from the Han Village and Plum Village a while ago would probably not be sold out until next year. Therefore, the low price was one thing. More importantly, the Drunken Immortal Restaurant had launched a "takeaway" event.
"Dear customers, everyone has tasted the delicious taste of the century eggs. Whether you like it or not, I'm sure everyone has a plan in mind. To be honest, the century eggs are the latest food invented by my family's Marquis. They are made from eggs through 49 processes and 49 days. The process is not easy. Compared to unprocessed eggs, the century eggs can be stored for a longer time. They can be stored for at least three months and the taste will not change!
In order to let more people eat this delicious food, the Zuixian Restaurant will sell an unlimited number of marinated century eggs to the public. It only costs five copper coins. After buying it, you just need to peel it, cut it into pieces, and mix it with seasoning before eating it directly! At the same time, Soaring Success will also provide an unlimited supply. And this month, the Zuixian Restaurant will open three branches in Chang 'an City. In the future, we will open branches in other provinces and counties outside Chang' an City. At that time, you may be able to eat the delicacies of the Zuixian Restaurant in your own shops! "
After about half an hour, Shopkeeper Liu saw that most of the diners in the restaurant were almost done eating. He walked to a table and announced to the crowd with a smile.
When the diners heard this, they were all overjoyed. This was the first time that the Zuixian Restaurant sold its food to the public. Some of the businessmen among them were tempted. Five copper coins for a century egg was not expensive. It was very profitable to sell it in other places or as a dish in other places.
"Oh? Only five copper coins for a century egg? And it can be stored for more than three months? Good, good, good! Shopkeeper Liu, please help me pack a hundred of them. I'll bring some for my wife to try when I leave later! "
Feng Zhihua said with a smile.
"Shopkeeper Liu, pack a hundred century eggs for me too! While you're at it, pack two servings of Flying Meteoric Success! "
"Shopkeeper Liu, pack up fifty of them for me!"
"Drunken Immortal Inn is opening a branch? This was good news! If only it could be opened near Chongren Square! At that time, I won't have to come here in a carriage just to eat! "
…
Huff, huff ~!
"Mm, not bad, not bad! The congee with pork and century egg that Xiaoxuan made was really good! Madam, let's make our porridge like this in the future! This kind of salty porridge is more enjoyable! "
Cheng residence, lunchtime.
Cheng Yaojin finished a bowl of congee with pork and century egg in no time. He wiped his mouth and said with satisfaction.
Madam Cheng rolled her eyes at Cheng Yaojin and said, "Look at you, insisting that the kitchen make this congee with pork and century egg in the middle of the day. Which family eats porridge for lunch? But this cold congee with century egg is not bad! "
Cheng Yaojin touched his nose embarrassedly. Actually, he couldn't be blamed for this. It was mainly because after Cheng Chumo came back, he bragged that the congee with pork and century egg that he ate at Li Zexuan's house was one of a kind. That was why he ordered the kitchen to make congee with pork and century egg for lunch.
"Ahem! It doesn't matter! The important thing is that Madam thinks that the century egg is delicious! "
Madam Cheng sighed helplessly. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something. "By the way, Old Master, I heard from Chou Niu that the Duke of Yong 'an's family is buying eggs from their farmers in large quantities. I guess they're using them to make century eggs, right?"
Cheng Yaojin stroked his beard and nodded.
"I heard Xiaoxuan mention it at the academy. It was mainly because there were so many eggs in Chang 'an City that they couldn't sell them. No one bought one for two copper coins. The farmers of his two farms had accumulated a lot of eggs. Seeing that they were going to spoil soon, Xiaoxuan thought of a way to find a way out for the farmers! I have to say that this child is really resourceful. He actually came up with such an idea! Heh, besides, this century egg is to my liking! Chou Niu, after we finish eating, pick a few dozen century eggs and send them to the Qin family! "
Cheng Chumo's mouth was still stuffed with century egg and tofu. When he heard this, he directly spoke with a lisp.
"Father, there's no need. Xiaoxuan has already sent them door to door! I reckon that even His Majesty is eating his century eggs now! "
Cheng Yaojin was stunned. Then, he came back to his senses and couldn't help but laugh. "Heh! This kid is really good at doing business. He's even got ideas on His Majesty? In this entire imperial court, only that old man Wei Zheng can compare with him in terms of guts! "
Madam Cheng smiled and didn't reply. She hesitated for a while and said, "I just don't know how this child made the century eggs with eggs. They can actually be preserved for such a long time? Old Master, the farmers of our farms also have a lot of eggs that they can't sell. Why don't we ask the Duke of Yong 'an how to make century eggs? "
When Cheng Yaojin heard this, his expression suddenly changed. He sternly scolded, "Nonsense! Foolish! This method of making century eggs is Xiaoxuan's secret recipe. As elders, how can we snatch something from the younger generation? If this gets out, where will I, Cheng Zhijie, put my old face? You're scheming for a source of wealth! "
Seeing Cheng Yaojin throw a rare tantrum, Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang at the dining table quickly put down their chopsticks and quietly sat on the stools without saying a word. Madam Cheng, who was used to being domineering, didn't dare to talk back at this moment. In the end, Cheng Yaojin was the backbone of this family. Usually, Cheng Yaojin wouldn't haggle with her over small matters and would go along with her wishes. However, when it came to major issues, no one in this family dared to refute Cheng Yaojin's opinions!
"Old Master, I didn't say that I want to snatch the Duke of Yong 'an's secret recipe. I'm just asking you if we can cooperate with the Duke of Yong' an. After all, our farm is rearing a lot of chickens this year!"
Madam Cheng paused for a moment before opening her mouth to explain.
Cheng Yaojin's expression softened slightly. He thought for a moment and said, "Don't think about snatching Xiaoxuan's money. Xiaoxuan's winery has already brought us a lot of income. One must be content with what one has. Our family doesn't have to worry about money now. However, Madam's question is reasonable. This old man will go back and talk to Xiaoxuan. Let's see if he can buy all of the eggs in our farm! "
"En, that's fine too. This year, the farm's grain production has decreased. This way, it can be considered as an additional source of income for the farmers!"
Madam Cheng nodded and said softly.
Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang didn't care about this. When the two saw that their mother had reconciled with them, they lowered their heads and began to eat fiercely. To them, delicious food was the way of the king!
