"It's delicious." Wang Xiaosi swung his chopsticks and a third of the bowl of rice, as well as the vegetable leaves, shredded tofu, and minced chicken, entered his mouth.
He was careful when eating the pickled vegetables. He was afraid that he would be thirsty if he ate too much. He took a small bite and his eyes lit up.
"Brother Daniu, the pickled vegetables are different from the ones you buy." He said as if he had discovered a secret treasure.
"This is pickled vegetables. The mustard is marinated in the jar. After marinating, the taste of the pickled vegetables will be better, but the taste of the sauce will be worse."
Li Daniu tasted a little and immediately judged.
The price difference between pickled vegetables with salt and pickled vegetables with sauce was more than double. This type of pickled vegetables was especially expensive.
"The soup is also good." Wang Xiaosi commented on the soup.
"There is no blood foam. The meat is so minced. How did you get rid of the foam?" Li Daniu did not know.
"Okay!" Wang Xiaosi's chopsticks moved again. The big bowl of rice and soup were all in his stomach.
He hesitated and asked Li Daniu: "Should I go and get the rice?"
"I will go with you." Li Daniu had questions to ask.
The two of them went over. Wang Xiaosi shyly handed the bowl over.
His size coupled with his expression at this moment made people feel very conflicted.
The person who got the rice smiled and did not say anything. He took out one-third of the pickled vegetables from the bowl, scooped the rice, ladled the soup, and put the pickled vegetables back.
"Where did you guys get the pickled vegetables? The taste is better than the ones I have eaten before. "Li Daniu finally found a chance to ask.
The person who got the rice turned his head and said: "Li Family Zhuangzi. The soup was also bought from Zhuangzi."
The other people beside him were excited.
"No wonder it is so delicious. It is Li Family Zhuangzi's food. The ready-made alliance is amazing."
"Isn't that so? Li Family Zhuangzi's food can be bought. The pickled vegetables are marinated with fermented tofu sauce."
"Li Family Zhuangzi's pickled vegetables are different from others."
"Hurry up and eat. This time I am relieved. The ready-made alliance has a strong foundation."
"Yes. I thought we were cheated. I am impressed that they can buy vegetables from Li Family Zhuangzi's cafeteria."
"I can't afford to go to Heavenly Earth, but I can eat better soup and pickles."
Everyone began to discuss enthusiastically. When they ate it again, they felt that the taste was different from before. It was amazing.
Li Chengqi had changed into 'ordinary' clothes and was also eating with a bowl in his hand.
He knew that the soup used oil and ground chicken, but he wasn't worried about eating it. The most reassuring thing about Brother Yi was the food.
He did not want to go anywhere else, it was too far from Zhuangzi, but close to the Baishui Pier.
He ate a few mouthfuls, laughed, and muttered to himself, "Sloppy soup, yet the taste is still not bad. In the whole of Chang 'an, only the Li Family Zhuangzi can cook for all the dockworkers at the same time with a notice more than two hours in advance. "
He couldn't see other places, but in front of him, he realized that the dockworkers could really eat.
He planned to go back and ask Brother Yi if he could earn back the advertising fees if he only provided soup and no food in the future.
He saw people who didn't have much meat on their bodies eating bowl after bowl of rice.
After a big pot of rice was filled, another pot would be changed, and rice would be cooked again. Even so, there were still people waiting.
The number of people waiting in line increased, and Li Chengqi couldn't eat anymore. He instructed a person beside him, "Go and tell Brother Yi that there's no more food here."
The person who was instructed ran away from the pier, mounted a horse, and ran a few steps. He entered Zhuangzi and found Song De, "There's not enough food."
"Come, send the food over. Send it to all the docks. Be quick." Song De glanced at the other party and instructed the farmer.
Carriages carrying small rice, yellow rice, sorghum rice, rice, and pancakes rushed out.
Seeing the carriages leave, the messenger scratched his head.
"Dongzhu said that the dockworkers have a bigger appetite, so they probably didn't prepare enough food. Especially the soup, they would finish a bowl after two mouthfuls.
We have been cooking and pancakes here. It's the first day we are delivering food to others, so we can't embarrass ourselves.
There's still some leftover beef from yesterday. I'll give you a piece. Take it. "
Song De said as he took a large piece of marinated beef that weighed more than ten jin.
The messenger understood that the meat wasn't for him but for King Song.
However, since King Song and Li Yi were close friends, Song De couldn't say that it was for King Song. After all, it wasn't his place to give food.
He left with ten jin of sliced beef and garlic paste. His speed was fast, and he caught up with the carriage that Zhuangzi sent to Baishui Pier.
They arrived together.
No one paid attention to him. The people at the pier were all looking at the luxurious carriages carrying pots of rice.
It was all white rice. When the lids were opened, the rice grains were revealed. It wasn't watery at all. It was dry rice, and the fragrance of rice with a hint of rice husk spread in the air.
"Alright, there's food. Everyone, come and get your food." The person in charge of getting the food heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, they didn't have to wait for the rice in the pot to be cooked.
"Oh my god, the Chengyi Alliance is taking food from Li Family Zhuangzi."
"Hurry up and get the food. Even if I'm stuffed to death today, I must eat more."
The pier became lively again. Li Chengqi saw so much spiced beef. He couldn't finish it, and there wasn't enough for his subordinates to share.
He looked up and saw a tall man. He picked up about a jin of beef slices and stuffed a pile of meat slices into the mouth of the person who ran back.
"Give it to the person who is taller than the others. Hurry up and eat. When it's delivered, you can eat more." Li Chengqi said.
"Yes, yes, yes!" The man chewed hard and picked up the spiced beef wrapped in paper. He slowly walked over and ate as he walked.
When he reached the tall man, he had already eaten more than a jin of spiced beef. He didn't even taste it and only focused on eating.
"Big guy, here you go." He said and stuffed the paper bag into Wang Xiaosi's arms. He turned around and ran to drink soup. He felt choked.
Wang Xiaosi grabbed a big bag of spiced beef and didn't know what to do.
In the afternoon, Li Chengqi found Li Yi, who had just finished copying a medical book.
"Brother Yi, they can eat too much. I don't think they can earn back the advertising cost by providing food." Li Chengqi sipped a mouthful of iced herbal tea and sat there sighing.
"Didn't we agree to give them warm water yesterday? Today is the first day. Just give them a meal, and in the future, it will be soup." Li Yi persuaded.
He knew what his brother was thinking. He wanted to eat until he became fat.
"Look at the way they eat. It's like they have been hungry for days." Li Chengqi finally realized that people of the same size could eat four or five times more than him.
"They eat like that all the time. The money they earn from working is enough for them to eat their fill.
But I have a way to lower the price of their food. It will only affect the people who sell food at the pier. "
Li Yi had a way to solve the problem of the price in the face of the pier workers eating too much.
If the price was solved, it would be a blow to the people who rely on selling food to make money.
"Brother Yi, tell me. I might not be able to use it." Li Chengqi's vocabulary of adverbs suddenly became rich.
"Food and Beverage Discount Advertising Model. For example, if I want to sell food in Zhuangzi, I will sell it to the pier workers at cost price. They will spend less money.
Then I will pull up a banner and write, "Li Family Zhuangzi's food is too delicious. After eating one bowl, I want to eat another bowl. If you don't believe me, take a look."
Of course, the people who work at the pier will eat another bowl after eating one bowl, unless the bowl is as big as a basin.
Others don't know about it. They just want to try it. Once they get off the boat, they will come to Zhuangzi to eat. "
Li Yi said another advertising model.
Li Chengqi, "… …"
