Chapter 30 Shen Yunxi sells sweet-scented osmanthus and preserved eggs
Shen Yunxi opened the jar, which contained unopened sweet-scented osmanthus wine. She took out a spoon, scooped out the wine and let Xia Yifan taste it.
It's sweet and mellow, with a strong osmanthus aroma in your mouth. You can't stop taking a sip.
The fragrance of osmanthus filled the whole room, and Shen Yunxi also served a bowl to Yang Xiaomi and Mu Chenglin.
Xia Yifan shook his head, his eyes full of admiration, "Miss Yunxi, can you sell the recipe of this wine directly to me?"
If this kind of wine is not used as a tribute wine, it would be a shame for the taste, sweetness and texture!
Shen Yunxi disagreed, "We don't sell the wine recipes! But we sell the wine! We sell the wine and the wine together!"
"Oh?" Xia Yifan stepped forward and saw the wine in the jar. In addition to the wine juice seeping out, there were also useful ingredients inside.
"Aren't you afraid that I will introduce a prescription?" Xia Yifan was curious, there are still people who sell it like this!
"Don't be afraid!" Shen Yunxi firmly believed that without liqueur koji, he would be a fool and would only make the glutinous rice grow hair!
"Could it be said that the wine here can also be eaten?"
"That's right! The fermented rice can be used to make fermented rice dumplings and fermented eggs. These can be used as desserts after dinner in restaurants, and they are guaranteed to be loved by everyone."
At the beginning, Shen Yunxi didn't think about selling the fermented rice, but after she filtered the wine, she got a headache after seeing so much fermented wine. Isn't this a waste?
So she decided to sell it together. Anyway, it is also a very good ingredient in itself.
Mu Chenglin filled a bowl of fermented rice and consciously went to the kitchen to make fermented rice balls and fermented eggs. These two dishes were simple to make. Shen Yunxi had already taught him how to make them at home and had eaten them several times.
While Mu Chenglin was cooking, Shen Yunxi took out the neat fans brought by Yang Xiaomi and showed them to Xia Yifan.
"Great improvements have been made to the original craftsmanship, improving the appearance of the fans!"
Xia Yifan was very satisfied. The fans delivered by the Yang family before had different shapes and were particularly indecent. If the sales of fans had not been extremely hot these days, coupled with its own uniqueness, with Xia Yifan's character, he would have wanted to I gave up on being a fan.
"It would be great if all the fans in the future were like this!" Xia Yifan nodded, thinking that Shen Yunxi just used this fan to tell him about this.
"That's not possible!" Shen Yunxi said, "This kind of craft is very time-consuming and physical. If fans all do it, then the price can't be fifty cents!"
"Want to increase the price?" Xia Yifan looked at the uniform fans in his hands and said with some humor. No wonder this girl would bring over an ingredient that has already signed an agreement.
"Actually, I have a proposal!"
"But hear the details!"
"The vermicelli used for cooking in the back kitchen of Qingfeng Building is made according to the original craftsmanship. If Qingfeng Building wants to sell dried vermicelli directly across the street, you can use the kind I have, how about it?"
Xia Yifan glanced at Shen Yunxi, then nodded, "Okay, but the price can't be increased too much!"
He had written to his father a few days ago, telling him everything he saw and heard in Lingyang Town during this period, especially the appearance of fans, which he mentioned repeatedly.
But because the fans were too ugly, he never sold them to his father. Now, fans like this are just right for his father to see.
In addition, if you want to get fans into the aristocratic circle of the imperial city, you must also use this kind of fans.
"The eighty cents?"
"Too many, sixty cents!"
"Okay! Let's make the deal for seventy cents! From now on, in addition to providing you with ten kilograms of ordinary vermicelli, the Yang family will also provide you with two kilograms of these vermicelli every day!" After Shen Yunxi finished speaking, he took out the agreement from Yang Xiaomi's arms. I want Xia Yifan to add to it.
"No! From now on, the Yang family will provide thirty kilograms of ordinary vermicelli every day. Vermicelli is easy to store, so I have shipped it to all parts of the country. The response has been particularly strong!"
"I know that the Yang family can't keep up with the current production, so I will provide thirty kilograms first!"
"No!" Yang Xiaomi said. Her two uncles each wiped two hundred kilograms a day. It was no problem. She and her brother could also help. Yun Xi said that when the business gets bigger, she can buy land and hire people to do it in the workshop.
So thirty pounds a day is not enough!
"My family can now provide sixty kilograms a day. Fans like this can provide ten kilograms!" Yang Xiaomi calculated in his mind, and then said the largest number.
"Xiaomi, even if you can do it, you can't get enough sunlight in your yard!" Shen Yunxi thought of a more realistic problem.
Xia Yifan increased her demand for fans, and she was very happy, but the Yang family's yard was so big that they couldn't dry them at all!
"First provide the thirty kilograms that Mr. Xia said. When we have money, we will buy land to build a workshop and expand the scale little by little!"
“One bite won’t make you fat!”
After hearing Shen Yunxi's explanation, Yang Xiaomi looked a little disappointed, but she quickly adjusted herself. Yunxi was right, she couldn't become fat after just one bite, it was because she was impatient!
With thirty kilograms a day plus two kilograms of fans like this in their hands, they can earn more than one or two a day. It won't be long before they can build a workshop!
Xia Yifan re-wrote the agreement and Yang Xiaomi stamped it with his fingerprint.
At this time, Mu Chenglin came in with fermented rice dumplings and fermented fermented eggs.
Xia Yifan was a little full just now, but after the wine was heated, the fragrance of the sweet-scented osmanthus blended in, and the aroma of rice fragrant with wine came to his nostrils, making him couldn't help but move the spoon.
With a spoonful of rice wine, the juice and rice slide into your mouth. The wine tastes gentle and the sweetness is restrained. When you bite into the glutinous rice, there is a hint of sourness, and the aroma of osmanthus fills your entire mouth.
Taking another bite of the soft and glutinous dumplings will leave you with endless aftertaste!
Xia Yifan took several bites before stopping.
In the end, Xia Yifan bought these two prescriptions for forty taels.
"Then how do you sell this rice wine?"
"A jar of this rice is worth twenty taels of silver!" Shen Yunxi said loudly.
Before coming, he and Mu Chenglin discussed it. The jar of rice wine contained about fifty kilograms of wine. If it was put in a small wine pot, it could hold about a hundred pots.
According to the character of Xia Yifan, a profiteer, he can sell at least three hundred coins for a bottle of wine, which is thirty taels of silver!
But Xia Yifan owns the network, the market and transportation, and they can't be jealous of Xia Yifan's profits, so the two of them discussed it and sold him the whole deal for ten taels of silver!
Mu Chenglin didn't find it strange at all that Shen Yunxi suddenly raised the price. The vinegar was sold cheap just now, so it would be strange that she didn't raise the price of the wine!
But what surprised them both was that Xia Yifan agreed without even blinking!
Shen Yunxi stamped her feet, wondering how much Xia Yifan would sell for a pot. The price was twenty taels without blinking an eye!
Xia Yifan quickly drew up an agreement. He did not ask Shen Yunxi to provide a jar every day, but asked for all the sweet-scented osmanthus wine from the Mu family, except for the Mu family to eat and drink themselves.
It seemed that Xia Yifan wanted to monopolize the entire Guihua Brewing. Shen Yunxi cursed the profiteers in her heart while using her limited memory of traditional Chinese characters to check the agreement.
Xia Yifan stared at Shen Yunxi for a long time, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
Although Shen Yunxi is thin, her facial features are stunning. Although her clothes are ordinary, she does not hide her brilliance.
Xia Yifan had already found out what happened between the Mu family and the Shen family, and could see that the couple was just showing up, not to mention that Shen Yunxi was only twelve years old, and Mu Chenglin was not such a beast.
Mu Chenglin noticed something was wrong with the way Xia Yifan looked at Shen Yunxi, and he frowned in disgust!
Shen Yunxi was his wife in name anyway. That Cui Zixuan never forgot her, and now this one actually looked at her with this look!
It's because Mu Chenglin has been silent for too long. Everyone thinks that he is just a hunter, so he can indulge in other people's wives unscrupulously?
Shen Yunxi didn't notice all this. After setting the price of the rice wine, she took out the preserved egg.
"Isn't this just a duck egg?" Xia Yifan said looking at the appearance of preserved eggs. Could it be that Shen Yunxi thought of using duck eggs to make delicacies again?
"This is the appearance of a duck egg, and the heart of a preserved egg!" Shen Yunxi knocked on the eggshell and began to peel it.
The preserved egg inside quickly leaked out. It was not the white color of ordinary eggs after being cooked, but a crystal clear dark brown color with a fragrant smell.
"I made this with wild duck eggs. You can eat it as is, but if you want a better taste, you can make it cold, or you can mix it with tofu to make preserved egg tofu, or boil it into preserved egg and lean meat porridge."
Xia Yifan took the preserved egg and looked at it repeatedly, smelled it again, and then handed it to Mu Chenglin, "Then we will trouble Mr. Mu!"
Mu Chenglin took the preserved egg and said, "It's getting late. Let's show you how to make preserved eggs next time. We have to go back to eat!"
Shen Yunxi raised his head and looked at Mu Chenglin in confusion. When did this guy become so obsessed with eating? It doesn't matter if he eats earlier or later!
Xia Yifan smiled and said, "It's my fault. I lost track of time when I saw Miss Yunxi bringing out delicious food one after another!"
"Well, let's have dinner at Qingfeng Building at noon. I'll try the preserved egg dishes later during the meal. How about this?"
Shen Yunxi said she had no objection to being able to have a meal at Qingfeng Building. She had brought so many good things to Xia Yifan, and it was right for this profiteer to treat her to a meal.
Yang Xiaomi was very excited. She had never been to an ordinary small restaurant like this in her whole life, let alone the Qingfeng Building. This was all because of Yunxi.
Xia Yifan took Shen Yunxi and Yang Xiaomi to a private room on the second floor, and then followed Mu Chenglin to the kitchen.
Shen Yunxi looked around. This private room was at the far end. There was a window next to it, so he could see the scene on the street.
She walked over curiously, opened the window, and Yang Xiaomi came with her.
"Wow! I didn't expect that the situation overlooking the town would be like this! Yunxi, look, there is the market over there. I used to go there to sell baskets!"
"Look over there, that's the academy!"
"Hey! This man looks like your fourth uncle. There is a man standing next to the cloth shop on the opposite street!"
Shen Yunxi looked in the direction Yang Xiaomi pointed and saw that this person was indeed Shen Wenjun.
Shen Wenjun had returned to the Shen family several times in the past few days, and Shen Yunxi knew that, so she guessed that Qingfeng Tower had taken action.
Shen Wenjun is now listless and slumped, but he can't see clearly because he is far away. He doesn't know what Qingfeng Tower did to him!
It's not easy to ask Xia Yifan directly about this kind of thing, so just wait and see what happens!
Shen Wenjun's appearance was just an interlude. The two little sisters stood in front of the window chatting. The cook was very fast. In addition to the three preserved egg dishes, the cook also made many other dishes.
Several of the dishes were made from recipes provided by Shen Yunxi. Because Mu Chenglin was there, the kitchen chef reluctantly made a dish of sweet and sour fish.
Now that there are two dishes of pickled fish and sweet and sour fish, I believe that the supply and demand of fish in the entire Hong County, and even the entire Xia Kingdom, will be increasing.
Xia Yifan brought Manager Hong in while he was eating. Manager Hong had never tasted the previous dishes, and he almost praised the preserved eggs to the sky.
I even ate three full bowls of preserved egg and lean meat porridge!
Without going through Xia Yifan, Manager Hong decided directly, buying the dishes for sixty taels, and buying the preserved eggs for ten cents each. Preserved eggs are not easy to break, so you need as much as you can.
After the meal, Mu Chenglin's wallet was bulging around his waist. From the vegetable sellers in front and back, they received a total of two hundred and ninety taels of silver, plus the jar of peach blossom wine they brought today.
He gave the twenty taels of silver directly to Shen Yunxi.
After coming out of Qingfeng Building, the three of them went to the furniture store and ordered the remaining furniture. Yang Xiaomi followed behind and secretly swore in her heart that she would be as capable as Yun Xi and lead the Yang family to live a happy life. Good days.
Then the three of them went to buy a lot of grain, but Yang Xiaomi didn't want it. The family had a field and had enough food to eat, unlike the Mu family who didn't have a field and had to buy it.
Originally, Shen Yunxi proposed to go to the bookstore, but Mu Chenglin said that the books he bought before were enough for Mu Chengjin to read for a long time, and there was no need to go.
The three of them went to the cloth store again, and Shen Yunxi made a special observation. Shen Wenjun had already walked away.
The four people needed a lot of clothes and quilts, so Mu Chenglin directly placed an order and asked the store to deliver them to Qingmu Village.
Finally, the three of them went to the market again and bought a lot of pork. Shen Yunxi also ordered some pig meat.
After a few walks, Mu Chenglin's wallet was empty, but he had already bought everything he needed to buy!
Shen Yunxi gave two kilograms of pork to Yang Xiaomi, but Yang Xiaomi refused, "Yunxi, now I have made money, I will buy it myself if I want it!"
"You should keep the little money you have. Xiao Zhou is eight years old now. Have you ever thought about sending him to study?" Shen Yunxi couldn't help but stuff the meat to Yang Xiaomi.
"I never thought about it before, but now that fans are making money, this idea is already in the hearts of the whole family!"
"Studying costs a lot of money, and you also need to expand, so don't spend your money carelessly."
"Ajin has a lot of enlightenment books there. He doesn't need them anymore. Let's go back and ask him to sort them out and give them to Xiao Zhou!" Mu Chenglin also suggested. Shen Yunxi had previously heard that this child also saved candy bars. When he got up and left Shen Yunxi with him, he liked this child named Xiao Zhou very much.
"Really? Thank you so much!"
The three of them came to the town entrance talking and laughing, and got on Uncle Zhao's donkey cart.
In Qingfeng Building, Xia Yifan read his father's reply. The first letter was a letter from home, which contained his family's concern for him and trivial matters at home.
The second letter was about business. My father expressed that he was very interested in fans and asked him to get some and send them to the capital.
The third letter was not a letter, but a yellowed examination paper with some familiar handwriting. This chapter has been completed!
