In order to meet the growing demand for fried field snails in Chang'an City, Nanbei Grocery has launched a fried field snail seasoning.
This seasoning is available in simple packaging and premium packaging.
The so-called simple packaging is to use a piece of oil paper to wrap a small packet of seasonings, and then put the product name on it, and then it can be sold.
On top of this package of seasonings, there is often a boxy piece of light cyan paper on which is printed the method of frying the snails.
From the processing of the snails to the subsequent frying, the process is very detailed.
According to what is written above, in order to fry a delicious plate of snails, in addition to the seasoning for frying snails, you also need to buy some soy sauce.
Soy sauce is also sold in groceries in the north and south.
If you bring a clay pot to put it in, you can buy it for three cents for one penny, and ten cents for one liter.
If you buy one liter at a time, they only charge three cents.
This simple package of stir-fried snail seasoning is available in three sizes: large, medium, and small.
A small bag can only fry three to five plates of snails, a medium bag can fry about ten or twenty plates, and a large bag is said to be able to fry fifty kilograms of snails.
As for the exquisite packaging, it is packed in a special porcelain bottle.
The outside of the porcelain bottle is covered with oil paper, with the logo of the northern and southern groceries on it, as well as the method of frying snails.
The high-quality package only has one size.
The fried escargot seasoning inside is about the same weight as the simple package, but the price is twice as much as the simple package.
Although it is not very cost-effective, many people buy it.
"The husband wants to buy seasonings."
There was a customer who stood in front of the spice shelf for a long time.
A half-year-old boy wearing uniform work clothes for groceries from the north to the south came over and asked.
He was just transferred from upstairs in the past two days.
A few days ago, Luo Sanlang hired eight more children from Xing Er.
The newly arrived children all worked on the second floor, and then they transferred a few more from the second floor.
The older children work as shopping guides on the first floor.
These children have been working in Beinan Grocery for so long, and they know what they should know.
They are all familiar with what items are placed and where they are placed.
Most of the food sold on the first floor has been eaten before.
The customer in front of me was young, tall and strong, clean-shaven, and fairly well-dressed, but the smell of sweat was not very pleasant.
The young man had just sent an old lady to the checkout counter in front of her.
When he came back, he saw the old lady standing in front of the shelf, so he went over to say hello.
"What's written on it is very complicated, I can't understand it."
The tall young man pointed at the porcelain bottles on the shelf and said.
"I don't understand either."
The young man grinned and said to him: "But I have seen this method of frying snails with my own eyes."
The two of them moved to a place where there were less people.
The boy in the store explained the process of frying snails to the tall young man bit by bit, and then said again: "In addition to spices, this seasoning also adds some chili powder, but not much.
If you want the stir-fry to be spicier, you have to buy some additional chili powder.
Our shop has chili powder of various thicknesses.
Here, they are all here You can weigh as much as you want on the counter over there.”
"The price is expensive," the tall young man thought for a while and asked.
"It's not too expensive."
The boy told him, "It's a little cheaper than the seasoning powder sold on the shelf."
"Hey, thank you."
The tall young man thanked him.
This is the first time he has come to this North and South Grocery store.
He always felt that this was not the place he should be here, and he was afraid that he would be looked down upon and humiliated after entering the shop.

But today, because he wanted to buy the seasoning for frying snails, he did When I came in, I didn't expect that the shopping process would be so smooth and enjoyable.
"Hi, nothing happened."
The boy looked very happy: "You need some soy sauce to fry the snails, you have it at home."
"Not yet."
The young man shook his head.
So the two of them went to see the soy sauce again.
Since the young man didn't bring a clay pot, and he didn't want to make another trip tomorrow, they had no choice but to buy the canned soy sauce on the shelf.
The simplest stoneware jar is packed with one liter of soy sauce.
The price is only four cents, which is not too expensive, but it is not as cost-effective as the bulk product.
When the tall young man left the North and South Grocery, he held in his arms a medium-sized bag of fried snail seasoning, a jar of soy sauce, and five cents worth of medium-thick chili powder.
After leaving the shop, he walked to the entrance of the alley next to him, looked for his wooden cart, carefully placed these items on the cart, and pushed the cart all the way to the south of the city.
The sun was shining brightly along the way, walking from the north-south groceries to his house, and it was almost time for the door-closing drum to sound.
The weather has been extremely hot recently.
To be honest, he is not afraid of hotter weather.
He makes a living by carrying and selling water.
The hotter the weather, the easier his business is.
Throughout the year, the two months in midsummer earn the most. .
He has been able to earn two or three coppers a day recently.
Those who can buy water with copper coins are relatively generous people.
They usually give him some corn and beans, and often receive some mixed flour pancakes and coarse salt cubes.
This tall, strong man looks straightforward on the outside, but he is very calculating in his heart.
Otherwise, the competition in the industry of carrying and selling water is fierce, and it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold.
He, a water seller, would not be able to marry such a good wife.
However, as road conditions improve, the price of water in Chang'an City continues to fall.
Many people buy their own carts and go to the wells to push water, rather than spend any more money.
I heard that in some places, neighbors also contributed money and effort to build a water canal, which directly brings clean water to their homes, so that they no longer need to carry water or buy water.
Many water sellers abandoned their carts and poles and changed their profession.
However, these people had no skills and no capital.
They had no choice but to carry water with others, so they had no choice but to carry goods with others.
Most of them changed their profession and became porters.
It's not easy to be a porter either.
There are many villages next to the official roads leading out of Chang'an City.
There are also many villagers in those villages who come out to work as porters.
Those people are strong and strong.
The asking prices are also low, and people from some places like to form gangs and are very exclusive.
Recently, there are several barbarian caravans that are quite famous in Chang'an City.
Sometimes they buy and sell goods themselves, and sometimes they help others transport goods.
Because of the relatively low freight, many merchants are willing to cooperate with them.
For a team like this, they only accept Hu people, and they must come from tribes that are familiar with them and have good relations with them.
Han people generally do not trust them, and only a very small number of Han people can gain their trust.
This tall and strong young man had met a caravan of foreigners who had just arrived in Chang'an City in the city.
He showed them the way and gave them water in his car to drink, which won the favor of these foreigners.
Those barbarians now often travel to Chang'an City.
Although it is not a very famous large team, it has a good reputation.
Those people also invited him to join the caravan.

This young man also had some thoughts.
After all, the job of selling water was unlikely to last long.
He had to make plans early and find another way out for himself.
But if he went out with the caravan and traveled all over the world, only his wife and young son would be left at home.
The neighborhood where they lived was not very safe, so he was a little worried.
Thinking about things in my mind, my steps quickened and quickened.
Before the closing bell sounded for the day, my small courtyard was already in front of me.
Yellow mud courtyard walls, yellow mud houses, thatched roofs, and mud floors.
The yard is simple, but fortunately it is kept neatly.
“Aye aye” "Why."
"Look at how hot and sweaty you are, go take a shower."
"Why."
“I bought something back” "Bought it back."
"I told my brother and sister-in-law today about borrowing the iron pot."
"What did they say" "I'm a little reluctant."
"Don't go there tomorrow, I'll go get it myself."
"I went to weigh half a catty of candy just now.
You can take it with them tomorrow."
"oh" It is always difficult for a poor family to do something.
This young man wanted to make a living by frying snails, but he did not have an iron pot at home, so he had to borrow it from his brother-in-law.
His brother and sister-in-law's family is not very wealthy, and the iron pot is also very precious.
Although the two families usually have a good relationship, they are always reluctant to borrow valuables.
"If we can make this fried snail, we will buy an iron pot ourselves."
"The money at home is not enough."
"I'll borrow some from someone." "" "Don't worry about this, I have my own ideas." "" Having said that, he was actually under a lot of pressure.
If his business of selling water stopped, he would be taken over by others within a day or two.
The small amount of money at home is all accumulated from penny to penny on weekdays.
This time, I don't know how much it will cost.
If the snail frying business failed this time, he would have no choice but to go out and work as a porter.
Early the next morning, he went out to catch snails.
There were people selling them in the city, but he was reluctant to buy them.
He spent a whole day outside in the sun and rain.
In the evening, he carried half a basket of snails on his back. return.
According to the instructions of the waiter in the shop, I sprinkled some coarse salt in the water basin, kept some snails in it, changed the water several times, washed them clean, and knocked the tails of the snails one by one, and then put them in the pot to fry. .
According to what the little guy said, add a spoonful of lard to the hot iron pot, add onion, ginger and garlic to the pot, then put the snails in and stir-fry At the beginning, they were still very nervous, fearing that they would not cook well.
But after frying for a while, the aroma from the pot wafted out, and it was very similar to the same thing.
The more they fried, the happier they felt.
"Well, the groceries from the north and south didn't trick us.
We can actually make fried snails according to what they said."
“It tastes so good” "Try it."
"hiss"
"Don't burn it."
“Hey, it’s delicious.”
"Auntie, I want to eat too.
I want to eat too."

"Take it, don't burn it."
"I'll fry it again, and I'll sell it today."
"What to wear?"
"Just use the bucket at home."
"Then I'll go wash those two buckets."
Speaking of which, after the fried escargot seasoning was launched in the North and South groceries in the past two days, restaurants and hotels in the city also bought it and fried it themselves.
But like this young man, he fried it at home and went out to sell it in the streets.
First time.
After selling water for so many years, he is also very familiar with the streets and alleys of Chang'an City.
They all know which family is mean, which family is kind, which family is frugal, and which family is willing to eat and drink.
Yes, I naturally know where to sell the snails.
"Fried snails cost a penny per spoonful."
"Hey, how are your fried snails?
Come over and show us."
"The fried snails fresh out of the pan are delicious."
"I want a penny to try first."
"Why."
"Don't tell me, it's really good."
"Eat one with me too."
"Wait a minute, I'll go home and get a bowl."
"I want two pennies, you and I will give you a few more."
"Hey, hey."
"Can you come back tomorrow?"
"Coming." "" In less than half a day, the load of snails was sold out.
They went home to count the copper coins.
The couple was happy and shocked at the same time.
A spoonful of snails costs only a penny, and there are dozens of spoons per load of snails.
After deducting the cost and doing the math, you can make a profit of more than 20 pence.
Compared with their previous income of two or three pence a day, it is simply nothing.
It's a huge sum of money.
The couple was frying and selling snails for a few days, so they bought an iron pot and came back.
Later, their brother and sister-in-law also started this business.
The two brothers collected snails and bought seasonings.
They helped each other, which was better than having to rely on themselves for everything.
Some people took the lead and others followed.
Soon, many vendors selling fried snails appeared in Chang'an City.
A spoonful of snails cost a penny, the price was affordable, the taste was good, and many people bought it.
I heard that many of the vendors selling fried snails were water sellers.
Originally, Luo Yong was not popular among these water sellers.
After that, many people spoke well of him.
There are more and more hawkers selling fried snails in this city, and the competition is naturally becoming more and more fierce.
Some people's fried snails are delicious, and they are famous for selling fried snails, so they don't have to worry about selling them.
Every day on the streets where they go, there will be many wealthy families sending their servants to wait there, waiting to buy one.
Bring back some fried escargots.
In order to avoid the fierce competition in the city, some people simply picked up the burden and went to the official roads outside the city to sell.

I heard that the business was indeed easier than the business in the city.
There are also those who are bolder and more enterprising, and leave their hometown to start a business of frying snails elsewhere.
However, every once in a while, they have to ask relatives and friends in Chang'an City to buy some seasonings from the north and south groceries and ask someone to bring them there.
The author has something to say: It’s so late again without realizing it.
I wish everyone a happy reading and good night. gd1806102:
