1285 Sold Out
“I’m too old and it’s too tiring to go up and down, so I ask my two grandsons to do it for me. Sister, the food you made is indeed delicious. The moment I brought it home, my two grandsons finished everything. Are you coming back another day?” Old Madam Liang asked expectantly.

“Sure! I can come here every day! Sister Liang, tell me what you like to eat and I’ll make some specially for you!” Li Gui said with a smile.

“Hahahaha, that’s great!” Old Madam Liang said brightly.

A slightly plump woman hurriedly ran downstairs and stated that she wanted to buy the braised meat even before she could catch her breath. This was her favorite food! However, she had never made it at home. It was extremely difficult to process the pig offal. If it was not cleaned up well, the smell would be too strong and simply inedible.

It was also difficult to buy pig offal! One had to get up very early and wait at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, otherwise one would not be able to get any.

“Auntie Liang! You’re here too!” the woman said.

“That’s right. I know you’ll definitely come by.” Old Madam Liang turned to Li Gui and said, “This is one of the most kind-hearted people in our courtyard. Her name is Sun Yan and she loves braised meat the most in this entire compound!”

Li Gui hurriedly turned on all the gas stoves. As the bottom of the big containers heated up, the smell of the braised meat kept wafting out. Sun Yan was so tempted that she was almost drooling.

“Quickly, you can move these four containers to my house! I’ll take them all!” Sun Yan said excitedly.

“I haven’t even told you the price yet! What if you find it too expensive?” Li Gui was a little surprised. Was the food really that delicious?

“Auntie Liang’s recommendations definitely won’t go wrong. Moreover, just by this fragrance, I already know that it must be delicious! I’ve eaten these things for so many years, but this is the first time I’ve encountered something so fragrant! Just bring everything to my house! I’ll go home and get money for you!” Sun Yan said excitedly.

Sun Yan had just retired and all her children were doing very well. There was no need for her to worry about them at all. Not only did she and her husband have a retirement pension every month, their children also gave them living expenses, so they had a lot of spare cash.

Sun Yan’s maternal family members also liked to eat these things very much. She intended to share them with her relatives and friends. She still thought that the braised meat which Li Gui brought today was not enough! It was still not enough to share among all the families.
“Come back, come back! How can you do this? It’s her first day here. Just buy some to try. There are still so many people waiting to buy! How can she run her business if you behave like this!” Old Madam Liang whispered as she grabbed hold of Sun Yan.

“Then… then are you still coming tomorrow?” Sun Yan asked as she looked at Li Gui reluctantly.

“Yes! Of course! I’ll come here every day! Tell me what you like and I’ll make it for you!” Li Gui said with a smile.

“Then give me five pounds today! Give me as much as you can make tomorrow! Give me at least 30 pounds of each type! I want all of them!” Sun Yan waved her hands and put in her order for tomorrow.

When Sun Yan went home and came back with her containers, there were already many people surrounding Li Gui to buy the braised meat. Li Gui had already set aside a portion for Sun Yan. Otherwise, by the time Sun Yan came back, there would be nothing left!

“I want five pounds!”

“Give me 10 pounds!”

“Don’t fight! I was here first! Give me five pounds of each type!”

The crowd made so much noise that the security officers became alarmed. Old Madam Liang hurriedly stepped forward and said, “Everyone, calm down! We all know that it’s not easy to find this type of food. If you continue to make so much noise, we won’t have a chance to eat it again in the future!”

Everyone immediately fell silent. The economy had not completely opened up yet! What Li Gui was doing was still considered an opportunistic venture and she would have to go to jail if she was reported! Li Gui’s family would be implicated too!

No matter how much they liked the food, they could not ruin her business.

“I’m already sold out for tomorrow! I’ll come back here every day in the future! Don’t be anxious! Everything is sold out today. You can buy them the next time I come!” Li Gui said.

“We all recognize you now! The next time you come here, we’ll all come out to buy!” an old man shouted from the crowd.

“I have to state the price upfront! You can’t buy blindly! Everyone, choose what you like to try! I only use the freshest ingredients!” Li Gui repeated the prices she quoted just now, particularly emphasizing that there was no need for them to use coupons.
