The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 911 Wedding Banquet Materials
Bai Meixi found a basic introduction to Uyghur language in a bookstore in HT City and started to learn the pronunciation of it. She figured out the meaning of numbers that day.

She recited those numbers over and over again, and when she returned to the jade market, Bai Meixi made a major discovery.

There are many scammers in this market, and most of them bully foreign merchants who are eager to make money and have no experience, and deliberately inflate the overall jade price.

Some of these people are like jade brokers, some bring clients directly, and some act as Uyghur translators on site. No matter which one they are, they all contain a lot of water.

Bai Meixi clearly saw that a 50-yuan jade was sold to a foreign merchant at a high price of 300 yuan, and the two people were negotiating in front of the foreign merchant, but they spoke in Uyghur. The foreign merchant I don’t understand it at all, and I don’t even know that I was sold.

Bai Meixi did not act rashly. She found a place to set up a stall in the corner of the market and took a look at the entrance to the jade market.

The vegetables and mutton brought by Bai Meixi are very popular in this market. Every time the stall is sold out within two hours, in order to stay here for a while, she has to reach into the basket and take the opportunity to open it. The door to the space is quietly replenished.

"Sister-in-law, you seem to have plenty of vegetables here. Can you sell me some more? I have a cousin who is getting married in two days."

A young man wearing Uyghur clothing walked up to Bai Meixi. He also bought things here yesterday. He thought the vegetables and mutton in Bai Meixi were very fresh. He wanted to order more for his cousin's wedding banquet.

"You speak Chinese very well. What's your name?" Bai Meixi found that this man spoke Chinese very fluently and was a good helper for her in learning Uyghur.

She had been here for a few days, but she still could only understand some simple words. The other person spoke a little faster, and she couldn't keep up. She wished she could play it back and listen to it again.

"My name is Sadiq. My mother is Han, so I have been able to speak it since I was a child." The Uyghur man in front of him showed a simple smile and pointed to a small stall selling jade raw materials.

"I usually set up a stall here. If you encounter any problems, you can come to me."

Bai Meixi looked at the stall and found that Sadiq's goods were not bad, and he was different from those jade merchants who hired contractors to cheat merchants out of their money. Everyone has the same price.

"How many vegetables and mutton do you want? Make a list and I'll try to find it for you."

Bai Meixi likes honest merchants like Sadiq very much. Those who specialize in cheating money will not be able to do business for a long time. In the future, the management here will definitely become more and more standardized. They want to pass off inferior goods in such a blatant way. There is absolutely no way out for lying.

"I've done the math, these are the things we need."

Sadiq speaks Chinese well, but his writing of Chinese characters is average, and many of them are replaced by pictures.

Bai Meixi took a closer look and saw that this order was indeed a big one, including 30 kilograms of mutton, 10 chickens, 200 kilograms of vegetables, eggs and other items.

It seemed that the wedding banquet was very large, with at least a dozen tables.

"We have a flowing banquet here. The banquet lasts for three days. It doesn't matter how many people come, but we have many relatives and friends. These are conservative. If you still have some, you can get more."

Sadiq said with a serious face. In their place, the more vegetables served to the guests at the wedding banquet, the better. It proves that the family has wider connections and the richer their life. Some time ago, someone got a box of condensed milk from a western restaurant. He brought it here and made everyone in the city envious.

His cousin is the only child in the family, and he is an old man, so he naturally has to be pampered. As soon as he announced his marriage, he started to mobilize all his relatives and friends to find things and prepare for the wedding banquet. Even the children of his relatives were helping him. Think of ways to. "Don't worry, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Bai Meixi negotiated the price, and vegetables, mutton, and chicken were all available. In order to enrich the dishes at this wedding banquet, Bai Meixi prepared vegetables, tomatoes, carrots, Chinese cabbage, onions, and cucumbers.

In addition, there are various bean products bought specially from Puhai and coffee powder and cream commonly used in Western restaurants.

There were also Western restaurants in this era. The famous "Lao Mo" Western Restaurant had a lot of people queuing at the door every day before this special period began.

Nowadays, in order not to step into a minefield, people rarely go out to consume, which makes the Western food ingredients Bai Meixi bought this time very cheap.

"Where did you get all these things? These are legendary foods here."

Sadiq was very happy when he saw the dozen baskets of things that Bai Meixi brought. Those unique Western food ingredients were enough to make them shine at the wedding banquet.

"There happened to be a batch of supplies and I took them all. But are people here used to eating these things? I'm afraid it won't suit the taste here."

Bai Meixi has been to some Uighur restaurants and knows that Western food ingredients are not the main focus here, and they are likely to be disliked because of their special taste.

"The taste is not important. When Western restaurants became popular in big cities a few years ago, we couldn't eat them here. This custom has only spread here recently. Everyone puts these things on the table just to save face."

Sadiq told the truth. Hotan people have made a lot of money selling jade in recent years. Many people are extravagant when hosting wedding banquets, and the things they use are becoming more and more high-end. They wish they could bring everything in the world to them. Move all good things into your own home.

"Sister-in-law, can you cook Western food? If you can, if you open a Western restaurant in the city, you will definitely make a lot of money."

Sadiq said that people here do not know how to cook Western food. These Western food ingredients are all localized and researched using methods similar to local ingredients. The taste is a bit strange. Some people who have eaten Western food feel that they are wasting materials.

If Baimeixi is willing to open a Western restaurant here and serve real Western food, it will definitely be very popular.

"Forget it about a Western restaurant. There are too many details and I can't understand it. And to open a restaurant, you have to find a lot of people. It's too troublesome."

Bai Meixi doesn't want to stay here for too long, not to mention that Western restaurants will only be popular here for a while. After a while, everyone will naturally lose interest in it. It is really not cost-effective to spend so much manpower and material resources here.

"Then let me give you more money. The money I gave you last time is definitely not enough to buy so many things."

Sadiq knew the prices of these ingredients very well. Even excluding the Western food ingredients, Bai Meixi's purchase this time exceeded the budget.Unexpectedly, Bai Meixi shook her hand and refused immediately.

"There's no need to give me more money. I still need your help with something later. This time it's a meeting gift."
