Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 107; Good beginning

The next day, Hongxiu left the villa early.

When we arrived in the capital, we naturally had to deliver braised food to Duke Ji and his son, Princess Qingyang, and Fang Zhilan.

After that, Hong Xiu wandered around the famous restaurants in the capital.

She didn't return to the hot spring villa until noon.

She visited a total of twenty restaurants, large and small. Of course, there were more than twenty restaurants in the capital, but other businesses were not very good.

Looking at the list she recorded, Huo Junyao frowned.

Among the twenty restaurants, the highest bid for the braised food recipe was only ten guan, and the lowest was only one guan. Isn't this a joke?
Although she also feels that this formula is not very valuable, but that is for future generations, right now it is an exclusive business, and these guys only pay so much, are they treating her as a fool?

As for the price of bean sprouts, it is even more outrageous. The highest price is only two guan, and the lowest price is only [-] yuan.

Although these vegetables are not very valuable at other times except winter, this is a long-term transaction, so paying such a small amount of money is really a bit excessive.

To be honest, she had some fantasies this morning, thinking that the braised recipe should cost at least a hundred guan, and the bean sprouts should be cheaper, and [-] to [-] guan should not be a problem.

In the end, reality slapped her hard.

Ni Ma, was it so difficult to make some money in the Yu Dynasty?

No, isn't the fireplace in front quite profitable?
Seeing her expression changing, Hong Xiu knew that she was not satisfied with the quotations.

Not to mention she was dissatisfied, even she herself was very dissatisfied with the quotes.

Especially the braised recipe, in her opinion, it was definitely a very powerful method. Once it was done, it could even be regarded as a family heirloom. In the end, the highest bid was only ten dollars.

"Miss, don't be angry, it's these people who don't know what they are doing."

Hongxiu opened her mouth to comfort her.

"It's true that they don't know the goods, hum. Since they are so ignorant, we won't sell them."

"In this case, Xiaochan, go to the back kitchen and see how many ingredients we have for braised food, and let the cooks prepare them all."

"Tomorrow you and five people will go to the capital market to sell the red sleeves directly."

Money must be raised. Since those guys don't know the goods, then just buy the braised food yourself. First, make the braised food famous.

Don’t worry about no one coming to your door then.

"Miss, is this okay?"

Hongxiu was a little speechless. It was okay to sell vegetables. After all, people came to buy them by themselves.

But now she was asked to take people to the market to sell. She felt that if anyone knew about this, it would make her young lady very embarrassed.

"What's wrong? We don't steal or rob. We are doing serious business and making money. There is nothing to be ashamed of."

Seeing her say this, what else can Hong Xiu do?
I can only agree to it.

The next day, she summoned five servants and set off for the capital with more than 30 kilograms of braised meat.

"Sister Hongxiu, do we really want to go to the market to hawk? If people recognize this, I will be laughed at again."

A little girl of twelve or thirteen years old was sitting on the carriage, looking at Hong Xiu with a sad face.

When several other people heard her words, they all nodded and looked at Hong Xiu.

"This is also impossible."

"Actually, why can't we directly promote braised food to high-end consumers like vegetables?"

The little girl who spoke first spoke again.

Hongxiu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Xiao Tao, you can do it. This is a good idea."

"Let's go to the capital and talk to the Crown Prince about this first. He knows a lot of people, so he should be able to open doors easily."

When they arrived in the capital, Hongxiu went straight to Duke Ji's mansion. Huo Jinyan was not on duty today.The Hanlin Academy is indeed very busy sometimes.

Hongxiu directly explained the purpose of her visit, and naturally did not forget to tell her about how her young lady was worried about not being able to eat or sleep well because of money during this period.

Hearing that his little sister was so worried, Huo Jinyan immediately patted his chest and promised that this matter would be left to him.

Then he directly asked people to invite those familiar friends to Duke Ji's mansion.

At the same time, the chef is also asked to heat up the braised food and wait for people to come and let them taste it.

He was very confident that the taste of this braised food would definitely conquer those guys.

Soon those people came to the door one after another.

Huo Jinyan directly started the sales mode. At first, these people frowned when they saw the sewage and didn't bother to use their chopsticks.

But as Huo Jinyan said that even the empress and the emperor were full of praise for these things after eating them, these people also started to use their chopsticks.

Almost everyone was amazed by this meal, but of course not everyone liked it.

But I still bought one or two kilograms of it, saying that I would take it home and let my family members taste it.

As for the price of braised meat, Huo Junyao originally set the price at ten cents per catty, but when it came to Huo Jinyan's place, it doubled.

Twenty coins per catty, this time a total of 33 catties were brought. Three catties were used to entertain the guests, and the remaining thirty catties were sold.

A total of six hundred coins were received.

"Young masters, if you feel good after eating it, you can send someone to the hot spring villa outside the city to buy it. We also have fresh vegetables and courgettes there."

Hong Xiu collected the coins and did not forget to spread the word.

"Haha, easy to say."

All the young masters are also very generous.

Hongxiu left quickly, but she did not remember to go back to the hot spring villa. Instead, she followed Huo Junyao's instructions and went to the market to buy some materials after selling the goods.

Because the required materials were all relatively cheap, I spent less than a hundred yuan and got fifty or sixty kilograms of messy ingredients.

Then she went to the medicine shop and bought a lot of medicinal materials for making braised food, and then returned to the hot spring villa.

When she left the capital, the friends Huo Jinyan invited also left Duke Ji's mansion with their things.

"What's going on with Princess Zhaode? Is she so keen on doing business?"

"Is she short of money?"

Several of the people who had purchased fireplaces before were a little curious.

"I don't know if she is short of money, but the things she made are really good. She is also a poor girl, and she is brother Jinyan's sister. Let's help if we can."

Everyone nodded, and they all knew what happened to Huo Junyao.

It is indeed a pity that a good girl was ruined.

At the Hot Spring Villa, Huo Junyao was quite surprised to see Hongxiu coming back so soon.

However, Hong Xiu did not hide anything and told everything.

"This is a good idea. I didn't expect you, Hongxiu, to be so business-minded."

Hearing this, Hongxiu smiled and shook her head and said, "I didn't think of this, it was Xiao Tao who thought of it."

"Oh? I remember her. She is indeed smart. She did a good job this time. I will reward you with ten cents."

Hongxiu responded with a smile.

Xiao Tao was also very happy to receive the reward, not because of the ten cents, but more because of the praise from the princess princess.
