She was originally a noble lady from a wealthy family, but who knew that one day her father, the Grand Tutor, would be demoted and exiled to Lingnan. The starting point is a broken-down house with ...
Chapter 224 Selling Potato Flour
One car was loaded with these things, and the other car carried three people, and they returned to Yan Village at noon that day.
Just like every time they used the excuse of going into the mountains, Zhao Liya and the other two made a detour before entering the village, while Zhong Ming drove his carriage into the village and headed straight for the Zhao family, saying that he came to deliver a gift on behalf of the general.
After delivering the gifts, he still had time to go home. After unloading his things, he left with his brothers.
The freshest lychees of this year arrived home and were warmly welcomed by everyone.
Everyone likes the sweet, delicate and crystal clear fruit, especially Aunt Hu and Zhou Nian, as it was their first time to eat fresh lychees.
"Everyone says this place is great, and I think it's really great! Where else in the capital can you find such delicious fresh fruit? This is truly an eye-opener for us!"
Zhao Liya smiled and said, "There are even more delicious seafood in the evening. They are all very fresh."
Huge abalone, plump clams and oysters, fresh crabs, fish and shrimp are stewed together in a large pot. It is extremely delicious even without adding any seasoning.
The Zhao family feels particularly satisfied with a fresh seafood feast from time to time.
The potato workshop had already produced a lot of vermicelli. The next day, Zhao Liya and Hu Ling packed 400 kilograms and loaded them into a truck. Hu Ling took Hu Yi and Hu Er to Suixi County to give to Zhong Jing. The other 200 kilograms were to be given to Uncle Hu.
It will come in handy when the hot and sour noodle shop opens.
Hu Yi and Hu Er just happened to stay there to help Uncle Hu and run errands.
Even if Uncle Hu had hired someone reliable, they were still new hires, and they wouldn't be as good as the ones he'd been using for a long time. It would also show the new hires that Uncle Hu wasn't just doing it alone.
Otherwise it will easily make people look down on you.
All the ingredients for hot and sour noodles can be fried there, except for the chili oil, which is boiled at home and sent over. It is estimated that it can be used for about five or six days once it is sent over.
In the future, you can send it once every five or six days.
Wait until some time has passed and the people in the store are sure that they are reliable, then we can make it there.
If the carriage goes fast, a one-way trip will take less than half a day, which is not too much trouble.
Speaking of trouble, making money is not easy at all.
The hot and sour noodles that Zhao Liya, Qu Yutao and Hu Ling had been talking about were finally served, and Zhong Jing was very happy.
Hu Ling and his men also brought chili oil and fried meat sauce, so that afternoon he instructed the firemen stationed there to make soup and stir-fry condiments, and prepared a meal of hot and sour noodles for Zhong Jing and other generals and leaders.
Just looking at the tempting color makes one salivate. The various condiments piled on the fiery red hot and sour noodles look delicious, especially the spoonful of meat sauce, which is even more tempting. The sour and spicy taste rushes into the nose, and the saliva almost flows down. How can I resist!
Let’s eat!
From the first bite, everyone could hear the sound of eating with relish. It was so delicious that no one could stop eating.
"Is this hot and sour noodles? Not bad, not bad, I love the taste!"
"Ever since I met Miss Zhao, our lives have been getting better and better!"
"The kitchen must cook more often, so we can satisfy our cravings."
“.”
Zhong Jing was also amazed. A steaming bowl of it was so refreshing, no matter whether it was winter or summer.
There weren’t enough vermicelli noodles, and now the entire military camp couldn’t get any even if they wanted to. The good stuff they made at the beginning was not cheap.
Zhong Jing, Zhong Ming and others took the opportunity to advertise for Zhao's hot and sour noodle shop.
If you want to eat it often, you can. There's a hot and sour noodle shop in Suixi County. It's currently under renovation and will be open soon. If you want to satisfy your craving, just go there and eat.
The generals and leaders immediately became happy again. "Really? That's so convenient!"
Not only them, but the soldiers who hadn't eaten but had heard about it were also curious. While discussing it, they silently remembered, "There's a shop in the city, right? Okay, we'll go eat it during our break."
The Zhao family's hot and sour noodle shop had become famous before it even opened.
After it opened, it was supported by people from the military camp and gained a lot of fans with its strength, which made it very popular. It was packed with people and was extremely prosperous.
With Zhong Jing making arrangements in the city, no one dared to cause trouble, and everything went smoothly from beginning to end.
As a result, the reputation of potato flour spread, and many vendors rushed to Gaolian County to find the Zhao family to buy it.
At this time, the Zhao family had already sold several batches of potato vermicelli.
Because potatoes are so eye-catching, the potato workshop is of course also eye-catching. From the beginning, many people stared at it and planned to buy the products produced.
Even if you don’t know what it is at all, it doesn’t matter. It definitely can’t be a bad thing!
Zhao Liya and Hu Ling returned from Suixi County, and this matter was put on the agenda.
Practice makes perfect. Zhao Liya and her colleagues set a date to announce the sale of the potato workshop's products, and welcomed all merchants to try them at noon.
At noon that day, the large courtyard near the school was bustling with activity. There were more than 20 merchants who came, some who really wanted to buy, some who wanted to try things out, and some who wanted to join in the fun. Everyone was chatting with each other while waiting to see the products of the potato workshop.
Together with their coachmen and servants, the whole yard was almost overcrowded.
Unexpectedly, Mao Dexing came in person, bringing with him the housekeeper Mao and two servants.
They, the master and their servant, were the last to arrive.
Mao Dexing's arrival suddenly cooled the lively atmosphere. Everyone exchanged glances and looked at each other, thinking that there might be a conflict today. They really didn't know whether this was good luck or bad luck.
The ones who entertained the merchants were Hu Ling, Lin Mo and Yu Xiaofang.
Zhao Liya, Qu Yutao, Shu Yan and several servants and wives were busy in the big kitchen.
Hu Ling's expression remained unchanged as he stepped forward to greet them in a businesslike manner. Yu Xiaofang's eyes flashed and he quickly slipped out to inform Zhao Liya and the others so that they could be mentally prepared.
Mao Dexing ignored Hu Ling's greeting, snorted, and walked towards the first seat like a big boss. The merchants who were originally sitting had already stood up when he came in.
I don't know who started it, but someone came forward with a smile and greeted them. All the merchants rushed forward and greeted them with smiles and chatter.
Regardless of whether they have dealt with him before or not, few merchants in the city don't know Young Master Mao's temper, and no one doesn't know that Young Master Mao suffered a setback in the Zhao family. Who dares not to say hello at this time?
Mao Dexing was obviously very satisfied that he had become the focus of everyone's attention as soon as he arrived, and a rare smile appeared on his face.
There were also those who really wanted to curry favor with the county magistrate's brother-in-law. How could they miss this opportunity that had come to them? They flattered him incessantly.
