Chapter 21: Going out

After eating, Liu Xin went to bed, and got up at Yinshi.

Liu Xin came to the eaves and placed the large pot for making bone soup. After lighting a fire underneath, he opened the large vat of bone soup and poured it into the pot bit by bit with a ladle.

When the big bone soup in the tank was almost ready, Liu Xin took out all the miscellaneous livers. The miscellaneous livers that had been soaked for more than a day smelled richer. Liu Xin put the meat in a bamboo basket from yesterday, and waited until a large pot of big bones was cooked.

The soup is boiling and mother has woken up!

"Son, you got up so early!" The mother saw her son busy in the yard late at night. He had already tied the tables and chairs needed to set up a stall on the cart. The big bone soup in the big pot in the yard was white jade.

, makes people look salivating.

"I'm too lazy to set up a stall. Mom, why don't you sleep a little longer?" Liu Xin looked at her mother and asked.

"It's not safe to sleep in a different place. Can you help me?" Liu Xin's mother asked.

"Mom, chop all the green onions I brought yesterday into chopped green onions, wash all the dishes and chopsticks I bought yesterday and put them into the basket.

I will take the stove and firewood to the market later, and when dawn we set up the tables and chairs and start doing business," Liu Xin said.

After that, Liu Xin went back to work. This time, setting up a stall was a lot of work. It took several trips just to transport all the things for the stall.

My mother was pleased to see Liu Xin being so diligent. As long as this [Mixed Liver Soup] could make money, the family would have a stable livelihood, and it would be much safer to stay in the city than outside the city.

"Wan Liu, get up and help! From now on, you have to be more diligent when selling [Mixed Liver Soup] at home..." Liu Xin's mother went to ask her eldest daughter to get up and help. A family cannot let Liu Xin work hard alone.

After preparing everything, Liu Xin, his mother, and his eldest sister carried the stove onto the cart, filled the cart with the firewood they bought yesterday, put a stool on it, and pushed the cart out the door.

It was still dark, and dogs barked from time to time in the alley. Liu Xin and Liu Wanliu pushed the cart to the market. At this time, there was no one in the market, and only the biting cold wind blew.

Although both of them were wearing two layers of clothes, they were still shivering from the cold. Liu Xin came to the position he liked, put down the stove, and started to light the fire for the stove. Liu Wanliu helped him put down the stool and firewood.

When the stove was lit, Liu Xin asked his eldest sister to watch while he pushed the cart back home.

Filling a wooden barrel with 30% of the bone soup and adding 70% of water, Liu Xin pulled six wooden barrels on a cart, put the iron pot on the shaft of the cart and walked out carefully.

This cart will need to be modified in the future. It is very inconvenient to pull wooden barrels on this cart. We need to customize a cart suitable for selling [Mixed Liver Soup].

When Liu Xin arrived at the market, he saw that some people who had gotten up early were already starting to move around. Everyone felt strange to see someone lighting a fire here so early.

The eldest sister had already raised the fire to a high level. Liu Xin washed the large pot with clean water, then poured three buckets of prepared bone soup into the pot, and a strong fragrance suddenly spread out.

When Liu Xin moved all the tables and chairs on his third trip, the sky was getting brighter and more people were starting to populate the market. Several people gathered around Liu Xin's stall, smelling the aroma of bone soup and chatting with Liu Wanliu.

Talking.

"I'm from Zhangjiazhuang. I'm selling [Mixed Liver Soup] here today. I'll be fine soon!" Liu Xin helped his sister out. He told the onlookers that if you want to have a stable business in this market, you must rely on Zhangjiazhuang.

Hearing what Liu Xin said, some people began to help Liu Xin clean up the tables and chairs, and seemed very enthusiastic. This is the intimidating power of Zhangjiazhuang here.

Back home, my mother had packed up the meat basket, green onion basket, salt box, chopping board, knife, dishcloths, dishes, basins, etc. she needed. My little sister had also gotten up at this time, and he put everything on the cart.

, locked the door and went to the market with his mother and little sister.

It was already getting bright at this time. When Liu Xin had prepared everything, a large circle of people had gathered around the stall. They were all staring at the boiling bone soup and pointing, and were very interested in the new stall.

curious.

Liu Wanliu sat pitifully beside the stove, constantly adding firewood to it!

"The soup has boiled. There's no need to add more firewood! You and your mother go and unload the things on the cart. Leave this place to me!" Liu Xin looked at her eldest sister and said.

When the onlookers saw the person in charge appearing, they asked what was being sold. When Liu Xin said it was [Mixed Liver Soup], many people left immediately.

At this time, the people thought that the sewer was dirty, and they were unwilling to try it. Some people also turned away when they heard that a bowl cost 10 cents.

Although people kept leaving, the fragrance kept attracting everyone. Liu Xin packed up everything, but no one was willing to eat it, and more and more people were watching.

"What are you selling?" Suddenly a familiar voice came, and Liu Xin saw if it was Zheng Lai from Zhang's butcher shop across the street!

"Brother Zheng, the newly made [Mixed Liver Soup] is delicious. Would you like a bowl?" Liu Xin said with a smile.

"It's still early for lunch, but the smell of this will whet your appetite. Okay, let's have a bowl and try it!" Zheng Lai said, sitting on the bench.

Liu Xin cut some pig intestines, lungs, liver, heart, and tripe, put them in a bowl, rinsed them twice with the hot bone soup in the pot, and then filled the soup for him and brought it over.

It's really good to have a sip of hot soup early in the morning. Zheng Lai couldn't help but close his eyes and taste it slowly after taking a sip. At this time, the person next to him finally couldn't help but ask for a bowl.

Zheng Lai didn't say anything, and he didn't need to say anything. Everyone watched him eat, and they couldn't help but salivate when they smelled the strong aroma.

"Give me a bowl too!"

"I want a bowl too!"



More and more people began to eat [Mixed Liver Soup], and everyone couldn’t help but applaud after eating it. At this time, the sesame seed seller also came. Some people bought sesame seed cakes and soaked them in [Mixed Liver Soup] to eat. At this time, people gathered around to watch.

People couldn't help but start queuing up.

"The taste is really amazing! I will go back and call the people from the butcher shop later so that everyone can taste this delicious food.

I ate two bowls of it for you, that’s 20 coins, you count!” Zheng Lai ate two bowls of [Mixed Liver Soup] and one sesame seed cake, felt his belly with satisfaction, stood up and handed Liu Xin 20 coins.

"Brother Zheng, today is the first day to set up a stall. I hope Brother Zheng will take care of me in the future, and the money will be waived!" Liu Xin returned.

"What are you talking about! I will lose your hard-earned money as a farmer? Take it, I have to go back to sell meat!" Zheng Lai gave the money to Liu Xin, turned around and left.

At this time, there were already more than ten people eating [Mixed Liver Soup]. Because Liu Xin’s business was good, the business of selling sesame cakes had also become extremely good. Many people came here and saw a bunch of people gathered around and smelled [

The smell of miscellaneous liver soup made people come over to see what was going on. Slowly, Liu Xin's business got better and better.

Liu Xiaomei stared at all the people who were about to finish eating. When she saw that he had finished eating and paid, he quickly put away the bowls. Liu Wanliu wiped the table clean with a linen cloth, and Liu Xin's mother kept washing the dishes beside him.

Liu Xin had to cut meat, pour soup, settle accounts, and collect money. He was also very busy. The sun slowly rose. Some people saw that there was no place to sit, so they squatted on the roadside with [Mixed Liver Soup] and started to eat.
