Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
Luo Xiaoyi sniffed around with her nose lifted, her big eyes filled with admiration for Chu Qingzhi, “Sister, you’re so amazing. I’ve never slled anything so delicious.”
The children standing nearby couldn’t help but swallow their saliva, looking eagerly at the pot.
The oldest child in the orphanage, Luo Yiyang, said happily, “It’s going to taste even better when we eat it.”
Chu Qingzhi told the children, “After the braised at is cooked, it needs to simr for a while to taste even better. Everyone, please be patient for a bit longer.”
Another child said with a laugh, “I know, ‘haste doesn’t bring success’.”
Laughter filled the kitchen…
Luo Jisheng and Yan Jingkui, standing at the kitchen door, also smiled. Initially forced to co and repair the orphanage, they had so complaints, but now, they felt it was all worth it.
Chu Qingzhi stayed for lunch at the orphanage. After lunch, it was ti to take the braised at out of the pot, and everyone, including the elderly gentleman, ca to the kitchen.
The elderly gentleman had secretly swallowed his saliva many tis, standing behind the children, craning his neck to see the situation in the pot.
Not just the elderly gentleman, but everyone was looking at the pot, eagerly awaiting the mont it was finally ready.
Chu Qingzhi lifted the lid, and a cloud of steam rose, bringing out a burst of aroma. Everyone felt hungry again even though they had just eaten.
Chu Qingzhi took out several large pieces of pig’s head at. The braised at had a brownish-yellow color, was glossy with oil, and had a strong soy sauce aroma. She cut the head at into slices with a kitchen knife and offered them for everyone to taste, “Nowyou can eat.”
Everyone’s eyes followed the bowl, saliva involuntarily secreted, and as soon as Chu Qingzhi put down the bowl, everyone started grabbing with their hands, unable to wait for chopsticks.
“Delicious, delicious!”
“Immortal delicacy. It slls good and tastes good.”
After tasting a piece of the braised at, the elderly gentleman felt as if a new door of taste had been opened to him.
He had lived for decades and had eaten countless things, but the braised at still gave him a fresh and stunning feeling. He gave her full marks in his heart. “Miss, you have good culinary skills.”
An old woman said, “Yes, we two old won have cooked our whole lives and never made at as delicious as yours. We must call you master chef.”
Chu Qingzhi smiled modestly.
Luo Xiaoyi, still thinking about doing business, quickly asked, “Sister, when are we going to sell the braised at?”
The elderly gentleman was sowhat excited, thinking such delicious braised at would surely sell well, “Miss, how much do you think we should price the braised at per pound?”
Luo Xiaoyi joyfully said, “Our braised at is so delicious, it will surely fetch a good price.”
Chu Qingzhi calculated, “Considering the cost of the pork we bought was thirty copper coins per pound, including the cost, selling it for seventy copper coins per pound would be reasonable.”
The elderly gentleman gratefully said, “Thank you, miss. We’ll rember that.”
Luo Yiyang said eagerly, ” Why don’t we try selling so right now?”
Everyone looked at Chu Qingzhi, waiting for her decision.
Chu Qingzhi, seeing the hopeful faces, couldn’t bear to refuse, “Let’s first make a small food cart before we start selling. Now we need everyone to prepare these things…”
An hour later, a simple, pushable food cart was born.
The bottom of the food cart was a cabinet, which could hold braised at, a cutting board, knives, and other essentials for selling braised at.
The space above the cabinet was a platform for displaying the braised at for sale, sealed on both sides, with a sliding window in the front that could be opened for business. The back had small doors that opened to the sides.
Above was a rainproof awning, extending out like an umbrella, treated for water resistance, providing shelter during rain.
On the front of the awning were several wooden letters spelling “Luo’s Braised Delicacies,” dyed red and very eye-catching.
Everyone gathered around the small food cart, looking at it with novelty and curiosity.
Chu Qingzhi was satisfied with her handiwork and said, “Let’s move the goods onto the cart, and we’ll go try selling them.
The children cheered, “Let’s sell braised at!”
Two old won and a few older children started moving things, while Chu Qingzhi picked up so leftover materials to make several windmills, dyed blue, and tied them to the cart as decorations, making the quaint cart even more eye-catching.
Once ready, the group set off.
This group included Chu Qingzhi, two old won, Luo Yiyang, Luo Xiaoyi, and four other children, along with Luo Jisheng and Yan Jingkui.
The appearance of the small food cart on the streets imdiately attracted the attention of many people, with so even following behind, curiously watching the procession.
“Where are we going to sell the braised at, sister?” Facing the gaze of so many people for the first ti, Luo Yiyang felt embarrassed, tense, and particularly nervous.
Chu Qingzhi replied, “Let’s head to the market, and you can also shout along the way to attract custors.”
Not experienced in doing business and unsure how to proceed, the old won imdiately started shouting at the top of their lungs, “Braised at for sale! Delicious and fragrant braised at, co and try, take a look…”
Being shaless isn’t scary; going hungry is. As long as it could earn them money, they were willing to go all out.
Their voices drew even more attention.
A man asked, “What is braised at?”
Chu Qingzhi encouraged a sowhat bewildered Luo Yiyang, “Bring out the braised at for everyone to try.”
“Right away,” Luo Yiyang responded, quickly taking out a plate of mixed pig’s head at and pig’s ears from the cart and offering it to the man, “Free tasting, but you can only try one piece.”
Seeing the offer of free at, the bystanders got excited, and quickly, the plate was emptied.
A pound of at hadn’t been sold yet, but they had already lost a plate of at, leaving the children looking eagerly at the bystanders, hoping they would return the at.
The man sniffed, found it fragrant, then chewed and his eyes brightened, “How much for a pound of braised at?”
Luo Yiyang eagerly said, “Seventy copper coins.”
Seeing Luo Yiyang’s eager expression, the man smiled, “Such delicious braised at, cut two pounds.”
Luo Yiyang’s face lit up with joy, “Auntie, quickly cut two pounds for this brother.”
Without waiting for Luo Yiyang’s instructions, the old woman had already started cutting the at, extrely excited.
Luo Yiyang told the man, “We have pig’s head at and pig’s ears, both are delicious. You can have one pound of each, and we also have dipping sauce if you need it, for an extra five wen.”
The man, a food enthusiast, said, “Let see the dipping sauce.”
Luo Yiyang brought out a bowl of prepared dipping sauce from the cabinet, “Brother, sll this, isn’t it fragrant?”
The dipping sauce, mildly spicy with chili oil and various seasonings, was designed to suit the general palate.
The man sniffed, “It’s fragrant indeed, how do you make this dipping sauce?”
