Beloved Concubine

Chapter 32

Gao Xiang asked, "How do you sell your peppers?"

Chen Xiaodao: "Currently the peppers planted are not mature yet. I have some dried peppers in my hand, but the quantity is not much."

Rareness is the most precious thing, Gao Xiangming knew it, and waited for her to ask for a price.

She asked for 200 taels for the formula just now, but finally sold it for 60 taels.Gao Xiang guessed whether she would make money back on the chili.

Chen Xiao thought for a while and said, "I can sell you fifty catties, five taels of silver."

"Five taels of silver per catty?"

"No, it's fifty catties, a total of five taels of silver."

"How much??" Gao Xiang suspected that he had heard wrongly, a total of five taels of silver.

"That's one hundred Wen a catty."

"It's so cheap!" Gao Xiang couldn't believe it.

He looked at the woman in front of him and felt that she was a real person.He really had to apologize, the price of the formula was lowered just now, it was a bit ruthless.

However, the businessman negotiated a good price, so there is no reason to go back on the price increase at this time.

He said: "You guys stay for a while and have a meal in Ruyi Building!" He wanted to use the meal as compensation.

Chen Xiao wanted to have a taste of Ruyilou's chef's skills, and just about to agree, Fang Yu said:

"No, we still have something to do in the store."

Seeing that Chen Xiao wanted to stay, he reminded, "Chunhong is the only person in the store."

Chen Xiao thought about it, and said to Gao Xiang: "Thank you, let's eat it another day."

Seeing Fang Yu's obvious obstruction, Gao Xiang smiled and said, "Anyway, I owe you a meal. You can come anytime you are free."

"Thank you very much!" Chen Xiao smiled knowingly when she heard that the meal was from Gao Xiangqing.

After the formula was written and the money was delivered, Chen Xiao and the others left.

Gao Xiang sent a clerk to pick up peppers from Chunji Snack Restaurant.

Watching the buddy leave with the peppers on his shoulders, Fang Yu said displeasedly:

"Why did you sell it to him so cheaply?"

Chen Xiaodao: "The purchase price of fresh peppers that we have negotiated with Zhang Lizheng is three Wen a catty, and six or seven catties of fresh peppers can be dried for a catty of dried peppers, which is about [-] Wen. In addition to the costs of labor, transportation, and storage, dry Chili peppers sell for [-] Wen a catty, which is not cheap."

"I'm not talking about chili, I'm talking about the recipe."

The sudden change from 200 taels to 60 taels, Fang Yu felt that Chen Xiao had a crush on that kid and deliberately took advantage of him.

"I need him to help me promote spicy food."

It's not that she doesn't have the main dish recipe to sell to Ruyilou, but it's a pity that there are not enough peppers in the space.Of course, after three or four months, when the peppers are ripe, that is the real time to promote spicy food.

"Promote spicy food? Huh, what about the braised pork recipe?"

Fang Yu understands that Ruyilou has spicy chicken, which is different from what they have in the snack bar.Most of the people who eat there are business people, and if they like spicy food, chili will be a hit.

"Just make friends." Chen Xiao looked indifferent.

She never thought of making money by selling cookbooks, even if they sold for 200 taels, it was just a small amount of money.

"Make friends!" Fang Yu gritted his teeth secretly, she really had a crush on that kid.

Chen Xiao didn't want to explain too much.She has her own plans.

Chunhong heard about 60 taels selling formula.She was surprised that Sister Chen didn't care so much about the formula. 60 taels, too little!

……

Another market day in the county town, the Hu family parents came.

This time not only their family of four came, but also several people from the village.

When Xiao Shitou saw more than a dozen people, old and young, pouring in, his expression suddenly became ugly.

"Boss, we were too busy last market day, and this time we brought a few helpers." Chun Hongniang said to Chen Xiao with some embarrassment.

Chun Hongniang has a timid character, but she sees that Chen Xiao is easy to talk to, and she is a woman, so she is not so timid when talking to her.

The corner of Chen Xiao's mouth twitched.Not counting children, there were six adults who came, could it be that Xiaoshi really hit the spot?

A slightly fat woman said: "We don't need wages, we are here to help."

"Hehe" Chen Xiao laughed dryly. Could it be that he really didn't give money?
Little Shitou said: "It doesn't take so many people to help, you go out for a stroll."

Another woman said: "We're here to go to the market, and we're also here to help. Last time I heard from Hongniang Chun that your business is too good to be too busy."

"That doesn't require so many people!" Xiao Shitou's tone carried people away.

Chun Hongniang looked at Chen Xiao earnestly.

Chen Xiao thought for a while and said, "Okay, then I will trouble you."

Not counting children, it is not impossible for an adult to give one hundred Wen.In the future, the small restaurant will be handed over to Chunhong to take care of her, and she will be able to do things for her in the future.

Little Shitou really wanted to throw away the noodle knife and stop cutting, what is this called!
Chunhong also had some embarrassment on her face.There are too many people here!
"Mother, there are not so many people."

She secretly squeezed her mother's hand.If each person gave one hundred Wen, she would have nothing to say when Xiao Shitou scolded her.

"People are kind enough to help, they don't need wages."

Back on the market day last time, Chun Hongniang was very proud to tell people how good the business of the small restaurant where her daughter is!People heard that they make snacks, so they wanted to learn.In name, it is purely helping, without wages, but in fact it is trying to steal a lesson.

If it's a big restaurant, they won't have this thought, because even if they learn it, they can't afford to open a big restaurant.But the snacks are different. After learning, you can set up a stall in their market town to make money.

Chunhong was relieved when she heard that she didn't need to pay wages.

She glanced sharply at the little stone.

Xiao Shitou understood her eyes, annoyed in his heart, and said to Chen Xiao:
"Sister, my hand hurts. It has been hurting for several days."

Xiao Shitou's tone was a little coquettish.Ever since I told him that his mother was pawned out last time, Chen Xiao took extra care of him.

Fortunately, Xiao Shitou is young, only 14 years old.If he was the same age as Gao Xiang, 17 years old, Fang Yu would have kicked him out long ago.

"Okay, then let Chunhong cut the noodles. We have something to do, so you go with us."

Now Chunhong is also very skilled at cutting noodles, Chen Xiao intends to train Chunhong.So many people came to help today, just in time to exercise on the busiest day of "market day" and let Chunhong cook.

Chunhong is dissatisfied when she hears that Xiao Shitou is going to cheat again.Almost all the work is done by her alone, and when she pays her wages, Xiao Shishi is quite a penny.

Yesterday, the last day of March, the restaurant opened for a whole month.

Chen Xiao made a settlement, and they made a net profit of 31 taels in the first month of opening.According to the previously agreed [-]% of the net profit as wages, she and Xiao Shitou each get [-] each.

Chunhong had never had so much money, and she cried with joy.

Back then, her parents liked the Ruan family's dowry gift of ten taels of silver, one hundred catties of pork, and ten chickens, and married her.

Now she can earn three taels of silver a month, so the dowry is nothing.

Watching Chen Xiao, Fang Yu, and Xiao Shitou go out, Chunhong was a little unhappy.

Sister Chen, elder brother Fang, always brings small stones with him when he goes out, leaving her to work alone in the shop.

Chunhong was dissatisfied, but she would not say anything.Because she still owes Chen Xiao and Fang Yu 20 taels of silver.

Her dissatisfaction is mainly aimed at Xiaoshi.
