Feng Yanhong bought the ingredients, and when Zhou Tianzheng was frying the sauce for Li Boshan, Liu Hai found her shop.
"Huh? Is that you?" Feng Yanhong heard someone looking for her, washed her hands and came out.
"Why can't it be me? Hehe...Sister-in-law, I have a cooperation to discuss with you. Is it convenient to talk here?"
"It's convenient, there's nothing inconvenient about it." There are no customers in the store at the moment, so it's certainly convenient.
"Sit down and say, I'll give you a cup of tea."
"Okay, Brother Boshan is not in the store?"
"No, he went to the laboratory."
Liu Hai chatted a few more words while Feng Yanhong was pouring tea. After she also sat down, she said:
"Sister-in-law, I want you to make more of that hot sauce... This time it's not for nothing, I'll give you the money."
Feng Yanhong's mind was spinning rapidly, and she suddenly understood the purpose of Liu Hai's visit.
The food in the school cafeteria was unpalatable, so Li Boshan brought hot sauce several times. The hot sauce was very popular in the school, so he wanted to take her hot sauce back and sell it.
"You want to start a hot sauce business?"
"...Yes." Liu Hai felt very uneasy. He also thought about it for a long time before he wanted to try it.
"Do you have any ideas?"
It was a good business, but if he didn't have any good ideas and couldn't sell them, she didn't want to leave the store to work on hot sauce.
There was a trace of hesitation in the bangs, holding back a breath, and his face turned red instantly.
He was afraid that if he expressed his thoughts, Feng Yanhong would leave it to Li Boshan. Then wouldn't he be building a bridge for others?
But think about it, people like Li Boshan probably can't do this kind of business, and besides, they don't look like people who are willing to burn bridges.
"I have investigated and found that not only our school, but also the three surrounding schools have changed their canteen contractors, and the food is not as good as before."
"I can use my spare time to gather some students who want to work part-time and set up stalls in or outside the school to promote them."
"I have never tasted such delicious chili sauce. I believe that as long as I am willing to promote it, I will be able to open up channels and increase sales."
Liu Hai has dreamed about a lot and is full of hope for the future.
Feng Yanhong recalled the history of a certain brand of chili sauce. She had not thought about how big it could be, but she did not deny that it was a profitable small business.
Liu Hai is a person who has some familiarity and speaks very well. Such a person should not be too bad in sales.
"Then we can give it a try."
"I can provide you with a box of samples, but I need time to prepare them."
Feng Yanhong nodded, already thinking about what she needed to prepare.
"You, you agreed?!" Liu Hai was unsure and looked at Feng Yanhong in surprise.
"Yes."
Isn't it normal for her to agree to this?
"You, you never thought about asking your husband to do this?" Liu Hai spoke quickly and asked the questions in one go.
"He still has his own affairs, so don't bother him."
Feng Yanhong knew that he had more important things to be busy with, so she would not disrupt his pace with business matters.
"Then, that's it? When can I get the sample?"
Feng Yanhong calculated the time and made an appointment to pick up the things in the afternoon three days later.
Not only does she need time to prepare things, she also needs to calculate the cost and find suitable packaging.
The most practical packaging now is glass bottles. She can use the seventeen or eight glass bottles in the store to hold condiments.
If the available quantity is large, she can only find another merchant that supplies packaging boxes to order.
Cost accounting and taste adjustment take time, and if the quantity is really large, she has to think carefully about where to stir-fry the sauce.
Her kitchen is already small, so it's not suitable for additional projects.
After going back in the evening and taking a shower, Li Boshan was leaning on the bedside reading a book, seeming to be thinking about something, with his eyebrows furrowed.
"What are you thinking about?" Feng Yanhong wrapped her hair, turned over on the bed, and got into his arms.
"Sit up and I'll wipe your hair."
Feng Yanhong sat up obediently again, turned her back to him and asked him to wipe her hair.
"I can't accompany you anymore on May Day. The professor asked me to go with him to the experimental field to record data."
I originally thought that I would have a few days off on May Day, and her store would not be busy during the holidays, so I could spend time with her. I wanted to go to the Great Wall with her, but now it seems that even walking around the capital is a luxury.
Thinking of this makes me feel irritated and depressed.
"It's okay, just go about your business. I'm at home and you don't have to worry about the store."
Feng Yanhong didn't think anything of it, after all, his studies were the most important.
"Hey...when I come back, I will take you to a movie."
It seems that Yanhong doesn't like to play anymore after she got married. She couldn't sit still in the past.
"Okay, let's go when we have time. In fact, I don't need you to accompany me all the time. You can concentrate on doing your own thing, and I will do mine seriously. We will have more time in the future."
"By the way, are you going with everyone in the class?"
Feng Yanhong suddenly thought of Liu Hai. If everyone went there, wouldn't she need to stock up on May Day?
"No, Zhou Jichuan and I are the only ones in our class."
He actually didn't want to go, but the professor asked him to go...
"Liu Hai came to see me today and wanted to sell our hot sauce. I agreed." Feng Yanhong felt that she still had to tell him about this matter.
"Bangs?!" Li Boshan was surprised at first, but after thinking for a moment, he thought it was reasonable.
"That's right. He has the talent to be a bad guy. It's just right to leave it to him."
"?" Feng Yanhong turned her head with confusion on her face.
"Liu Hai often asks his family to send some special products and sells them everywhere. Basically every time he sells them, he can earn enough for a month's living expenses."
"Now that I can eat your hot sauce and think of it as a business, I'm afraid there is no one else but him."
Feng Yanhong smiled and nodded. It turned out that she was a veteran in the industry, so no wonder her ideas were expressed so smoothly.
In this case, she was relieved.
Feng Yanhong has always been good at taking action and does whatever she says.
First, I found suitable glass bottles from a lunch box wholesaler, but he didn't have much on hand, only two hundred.
She took all two hundred of them in one go. The first batch didn't need any sticker packaging, but she also thought about registering a trademark.
I bought another large iron pot and brought it to the store. The pot for stir-frying and the pot for cooking will be used separately in the future.
When the first pot of chili sauce came out, the house was filled with a rich aroma, but it was also a bit irritating to the nose.
There were a few customers who couldn't stand the spiciness, so they covered their noses and didn't even enter the store.
It seems that if you want to make chili sauce, you will have to find a new place.
