There were also a few dishes?!
Where did this family come from? Why was there so much food?
And they had never heard of them before!
“How are they sold?” an auntie asked, carrying a basket.
“For congee or pure white rice porridge, it will be two copper coins for a bowl. Different ingredients have different prices: One copper coin for fish bones, two copper coins for fish slices or a fish segment each. One copper coin for chicken bones, two copper coins for shredded chicken, three copper coins for chicken wing or drumstick. Other miscellaneous ingredients such as chicken blood, pig blood, pig liver, pig intestines, and chicken gizzards all cost one copper coin each. Minced meat is one copper coin as well. They can be stacked, but it’s not recommended to add them randomly as the smell will then become stronger.”
“There are also fresh vegetables. If you want to add them to the porridge, you can for free. You can also add eggs to the porridge, which will cost one copper coin.”
Ye Lulu had discussed these ingredients with the Guan family before deciding on this.
On the table around the small pot were small wooden pots. These contained fresh fish bones, fish slices, fish segments, chicken bones, shredded chicken, chicken wings, and chicken drumsticks. Other pots contained chicken blood, pig blood, pig liver, pig intestines, and chicken gizzards respectively. There was also a pot of minced meat and a small basket of native eggs.
It could be said that it was very rich.
However, the selling point of congee was its ingredients. There had to be a variety in order for it to be interesting.
Moreover, it was not rare. Guan Chibei had fished in the river early in the morning. For some reason, he was not afraid of the cold at all. He killed the fish he had just fished up and only killed two chickens at home. There was quite a bit after tearing them apart. As for pork, he went to the butcher’s to buy pig intestines, pig blood that the butcher initially did not want, and two catties of pork. The pork was chopped into minced meat. These were the ingredients displayed here. It could be treated as a small experiment.
Native eggs were also from home. Vegetables were only plucked from the vegetable field before they set off. They were washed and chopped into pieces within fifteen minutes.
Although it didn’t sound too strenuous, when these things were displayed, they gave people a very diverse feeling.
The surrounding people were shocked.
The effect was even a little explosive.
Who had seen such a formation?! There was so much meat: pork, chicken, and fish. Ordinary families did not have so much meat even during the New Year. They did not even eat so many kinds of meat in a year!
They could actually sell porridge like this? There was so much meat added to the porridge to cook. Oh my!
Furthermore, the effect of the other explosion was—the crowd exploded and someone said excitedly,
“A bowl of porridge is so expensive?! Other people’s sweet potato porridge mixed with white rice is only one copper coin a bowl, while mixed grain porridge is one copper coin for two bowls!”
“You are selling a bowl of pure white rice porridge for two copper coins?!”
“If I add some scattered bones and miscellaneous ingredients, I’ll have to add another copper coin! If I add other ingredients, I’ll have to add two copper coins, three copper coins… Wouldn’t a bowl of porridge cost five copper coins or six copper coins?!”
“What porridge is this? The price has skyrocketed!”
“One catty of the cheapest grain is only four copper coins! A bowl of porridge could be equivalent to one catty of grains or half a catty of pure white rice!”
“How can it be so expensive?! Who would buy it?!”
Everyone started to calculate excitedly. The people who would stroll around the market at the docks were either merchants (regardless of whether they were big or small) or people who were calculative at home. Everyone knew how to count money.
When they heard the price of congee, everyone revealed looks of disbelief and their faces turned red.
Those women pursed their lips tightly and looked at the family behind the cart in disbelief.
