Chapter 902: Do you really want to rent it out?
These escort agencies followed the same approach as Haoguo Escort Agency and made some changes, and their business gradually recovered.
All are happy.
Zhou Guo thought this was a good idea. The plate was so big that if she really swallowed it all by herself, she would be stuffed to death!
The matter of the escort agency is settled, and the old man hasn't come back yet. When he received the letter, he was at Qian Duo's place, and seeing the mountains full of apple blossoms, he was reluctant to come back.
She didn't care about him. She just wanted him to have fun so that he wouldn't have to stay at home every day with nothing to do and get sick from idleness.
She went around several shops and found that the business of the braised food shop was getting better and better. The braised food would be sold out first before the roast duck every day.
Sometimes the eighty roast ducks were sold out by evening, and the braised goods were sold out just after noon.
She thinks that it is not impossible to make braised duck, which is also very delicious and has a different taste compared to roast duck.
After returning to Song County, she began to think about the recipe for braised duck. The recipe for braised duck had to be released separately. Duck meat would be tougher than the meat in other parts of the duck wings. With the same recipe, why wouldn't people eat duck wings?
She spent six or seven days in the kitchen, and wasted thirty or forty ducks. Finally, on the morning of the seventh day, a qualified braised duck came out of the pot, which was no different from the braised duck she remembered eating.
It is refreshing, not greasy, and has a bit of chewiness, with a fresh and fragrant aroma. After work in the hot summer, cutting a plate of it and eating it with a glass of wine is like living in heaven.
Zhou Guo, Hu Zi, and Mrs. Deng cut a big pot of it and sat in the yard to eat it as a snack, laughing as they ate.
Er Pang said: "Master, you are really amazing. How come you can do everything? You can do whatever you want. There is nothing you can't do."
Zhou Guo said with a smile: "I can't do whatever I want. Of course I can do whatever I know. I can only succeed if I know a little bit. If I don't know anything, most of the time it's just a waste of effort."
Er Pang didn't believe it, "Then how did you grow the bacteria? Have you grown bacteria before? Have you grown it before?"
Zhou Guo: "... Well, I know how to farm. There's nothing that can't be grown in the land. If I give it a try, won't I be able to find out what I want?"
Everyone nodded in confusion. It turns out that if you know how to farm, you can also grow fungi?
Well, it's really the master who is powerful. They also know how to farm, but they just can't produce enough.
Zhou Guo took another piece of braised meat and started eating it bite by bite. He thought that he didn’t know when his master would come back. If he came back, he would definitely like to eat this braised meat.
When the braised duck was put in the braised goods store, no one bought it at first. Compared with other leftovers such as duck wings and duck feet, braised duck was much more expensive.
The price of duck wings was 38 wen per pound, but now it is 28 wen per pound, which is 10 wen more expensive.
A braised duck is more expensive than a roast duck.
In the first few days, I could only sell one or two every day, then gradually three or four, five or six, and in just ten days, I can now sell more than twenty every day.
With the addition of the roast duck on the side, more and more ducks are sold every day, and there are more duck wings and duck necks, so they can be sold for a longer time.
Hu Zi said, "Master, why don't you just open a branch?"
Zhou Guo shook his head. "Forget it. This stuff is not cheap to begin with. We can only sell 70 to 80 roast ducks a day. Now we can sell about 100 a day, which is already pretty good. At least we don't have to worry about what to do with so many ducks that can't be sold."
One hundred a day is already a lot, but she didn't expect to sell so many. She originally estimated that she could only sell fifty or sixty a day at most.
Seeing that they were collecting ducks every day and could sell both duck eggs and ducklings, the nearby villages dared to hatch duck eggs. It was no problem to raise a hundred ducks at home. At most, they could feed them more wheat bran. Ducks were much more valuable than wheat bran.
The old man hasn't come back yet, but Li came first.
Zhou Guo was very surprised. "You're not busy at home? Why are you here?"
Li said, "You have taken root in Song County since you came out. If you don't come back, I can't come to see you. I have to see if you are doing well and eating well. Don't make yourself look like a ghost again."
"How could that be?" Zhou Guo said with a smile, "Mom, you're here just in time. I asked Granny Deng to make some braised duck. I've just put the newly made braised duck on sale in the shop. I can sell about 20 ducks a day. They're selling very well."
Li smiled, "Then I must try it."
When the braised duck was served, Li looked at the meat, which was not even hot, and asked in surprise, "Is it cold?"
Zhou Guo picked up a piece for her and said, "Of course the braised meat should be cold. What's the point of eating it hot? Try it now."
Li took a bite as instructed and her eyes lit up. "It's delicious. It's best eaten with rice in the summer. The old man definitely likes it. It's also good with wine."
After saying that, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen the old man for such a long time, "Where is the master? Where is the master?"
I looked around but didn't see anyone.
Zhou Guo said, "He left after just a few days of arriving. He went on a escort mission with Mo Da. He is now living a luxurious life in a wealthy manor. I don't know when he will come back."
Li smiled, "That's good. Even though you're old, you can still run around all day. That's a blessing."
Zhou Guo nodded, "Mom, after we finish eating, I'll take you to the fields to see that the seedlings have grown taller."
The mother and daughter were looking at the seedlings in the fields, and they were growing well.
Li clapped Zhou Guo's hand happily, "You've put so much effort into this, and invested most of the money you've earned over the years. It's finally paid off, and you can see the money coming back."
Zhou Guo asked, "Mom, based on your decades of experience in farming, will these rice seedlings yield a high yield in the fall?"
Li said nothing and went forward. Of course, she couldn't finish looking at such a large piece of land. She looked at a few more and said, "Judging from the trend, there will be more than two stones in the autumn harvest. It will definitely not be comparable to what we have at home."
Zhou Guo said, "How can I compare with the two acres of land at home? I'm not sick, so I can't be hard on myself. I've also thought about it. As long as these lands can produce more than two shi per acre, I'll be satisfied. Two shi this year, three shi next year, and four shi the year after. In a few years, this place will be as good as the dozen acres of land at home."
After all, this land was converted from salty and bitter land, so we can't ask for too much even if it comes to high-yield rice varieties.
Li looked at the large piece of land and asked after a while, "Are you really going to rent out this land?"
Zhou Guo was stunned. "Why do you ask that? Don't you want to rent the land?"
Li sighed. She had been through hard times. The most important thing for ordinary people like them was land. Now that the family finally had so much land, they had to rent it out. After renting it out, they would take 40% and others would take 60%. It was really like making wedding dresses for others.
If I cultivate these fields myself, how much more grain will I have to harvest in a year?
Zhou Guo knew what she was thinking from her expression, and said with a smile: "Mom, you really worry too much. Do you know how much land our family has now? In the past two years, all our villages have only received more than a thousand refugees, and we are still short of two thousand. Do you know what I mean?"
