Chapter 206 Gentleman's Dish
She recently has the idea of opening a new shop. She is considering what kind of shop to open. She has many things that can be used as a shop.
But the most urgent task is to harvest the vegetables in the fields first, and then consider the future.
There are also lettuce and bitter melon. The bitter melon can be picked in a few days.
Bitter melons have not been sold to the public yet. I will take these vegetables to the store tomorrow to try selling them and see how the public accepts this slightly bitter food. By the way, I will also add the giant water chestnuts to the store.
Sumu came to the vegetable shop early in the morning.
"Second Mother." Su Mu brought a pile of bitter gourds and water chestnuts to the shop.
"Miss." Du Erniang came over to greet her happily.
The two came to the backyard, "These are the latest ones to be released first, let's see everyone's reaction."
"Miss, is this a water chestnut?" Du Er Niang picked up a big water chestnut, "This water chestnut is so big!" It is almost the size of someone's palm.
"This water chestnut is a new variety. It's much larger than the previous ones and easier to peel." It also tastes better.
"And this is bitter gourd." Su Mu introduced another vegetable.
"Bitter melon?" Du Erniang wondered, "Is it a bitter melon?" Are there actually bitter foods?
"Yes, bitter melon is a bit bitter and can clear away heat and relieve internal heat. Let's try selling it for a few days to see how people accept it."
The bitter melons we usually eat are green when the fruit is still unripe. The ripe bitter melon will turn orange-yellow and will no longer taste bitter.
"Yes." I didn't expect that this bitter food would have this effect?
The news that the vegetable shop started selling bitter vegetables spread.
Many people don’t understand and are shocked by this. Bitter vegetables? Why are they still selling bitter vegetables? How can they be delicious?!
Some people are very interested in bitter melon. No one has ever eaten this bitter vegetable! And I heard that eating this vegetable can also clear away heat. Isn’t it just right to eat it in this season?
In the blink of an eye, it is the day when bitter melon is fresh. On this day, many people come here to see the beauty of this bitter melon.
As usual, there are tasting samples of bitter melon, including bitter melon soup and stir-fried bitter melon in various ways.
"Dear guests, the taste of this bitter melon is quite special. You can taste it first and then decide whether to buy it." The waiter shouted at the door, in case some customers could not accept the taste and bought it home to avoid wasting it, which would not be good for the store's reputation.
"Isn't this just a green bitter vegetable? There's no need!" someone waved his hand.
But the guy still persuaded him, telling him that if he really couldn't accept it, it would be just a small matter to take it back and return it.
"Okay!" Seeing the waiter's strong persuasion, the man agreed to try the food.
Under the gaze of everyone, the man took a bite of bitter melon and savored it carefully. The unique taste of bitter melon spread in his mouth.
The man's face looked strange.
The crowd watching looked at the man expectantly, "How does it taste?"
"It tastes very strange." said the man.
He could accept this taste. It tasted strange when he first put it in his mouth, but after chewing it a few times, he suddenly felt that the taste was not unbearable, but rather very peculiar.
That guy went to buy a few bitter gourds.
The rest of the people also wanted to try the taste of bitter melon. The result was as expected. Some people liked the taste, but of course there were also many people who could not accept the taste.
Those who couldn't accept it saw the area where the bitter melons were left and wandered around, and saw the new large water chestnuts.
“Such big water chestnuts are now available!” the customer exclaimed.
Some other people also heard the sound and came over.
"So big!" They don't like bitter bitter melon, but they love the crispy and sweet water chestnuts.
"This water chestnut is so big, it must be very delicious to eat."
All of a sudden, people who didn't like bitter melon gathered here, and everyone was happily buying water chestnuts.
"The shopkeeper didn't even mention the large water chestnuts."
In fact, we were informed in advance about the new large water chestnuts, but with the bitter vegetables in front, this variety, which had appeared before, was not so conspicuous.
Two groups of people were buying bitter melon and water chestnuts respectively.
At this time, a man who looked knowledgeable walked in.
He also came to the bitter melon tasting sample. When this person walked in, many people's attention was focused on him. It had nothing to do with anything else, but the fact that he had such a strong sense of a scholar.
The man picked up a piece of bitter melon and tasted it. He nodded slightly, tasted the side dish in the bitter melon, and his pupils dilated instantly.
The people who focused their attention on him became nervous. What happened?
The man said excitedly: "This dish is for a gentleman! He does not pass on his suffering to others." The man kept shaking his head.
"Although he himself has a bitter taste, this bitterness does not stain other foods that match it. He is truly a gentleman!!"
The customers were also excited. Yes! They had not realized that bitter melon was indeed like this. It tasted very bitter on its own, but the food cooked with it would not have any bitter taste at all. Instead, it tasted great.
How come they didn't notice it! This bitter melon is so powerful.
Just like a person, not imposing one’s own suffering on others is the gentleman’s behavior!
"Gentleman's dish, this is gentleman's dish!" the person buying bitter melon said excitedly.
The people in this group are buying bitter melons faster. Didn’t they see that others said this is a gentleman? If they don’t speed up, others will definitely buy it.
After tasting the bitter melon, the scholar was also excited and wanted to buy it. He didn't care about the style of scholars and paced excitedly outside the bitter melon shelf.
But he had no experience in buying groceries, so he couldn't get in. Finally, someone who was buying groceries next to him turned around and saw him.
He shouted, "This scholar also wants to buy vegetables."
The others made way for him, as they showed great respect for the intellectuals.
"This, can't be done." He was still a little reserved. He couldn't cut in line to buy something.
"Hey, what are you talking about? How much can you buy by yourself? Go in and buy it." A person said carelessly.
After several refusals, the man finally went in and bought a few bitter gourds, thanked repeatedly and left.
The rest of the people started to buy bitter melons excitedly, even those who didn't like bitter melons very much just now bought some.
Although the person has left, the bitter melon dish can be called a gentleman's dish, and the idea of not passing on one's suffering to others has been promoted by many people. People jokingly call bitter melon a gentleman's dish.
As the term "gentleman's dish" came out, it attracted more people to buy it, and many people wanted to know what this gentleman's dish looked like.
There are also many literati and scholars who, after learning about the existence of gentleman's dishes, particularly want to taste them.
