Chapter 149 Where does so much money come from?

"Okay." Jiang Mixia agreed readily.

There were so many vegetables sent from the farm that they could not be eaten up at that time. Based on the principle of not wasting anything, Jiang Mixia, Liu and others were busy making pickled vegetables out of most of the vegetables that could be pickled and dried.

But after making pickles, they had new problems.

Pickled vegetables are nothing more than fresh vegetables that can be stored for a long time, without changing their weight much.

What I couldn’t finish at the time, I left for later and ate slowly, but I still couldn’t finish it.

Even though we have gone through a winter and it is already the end of March, we still have several large jars of pickled vegetables at home. If we continue to eat them at this rate, I am afraid we will have to wait until the pickled vegetables from summer and autumn are available.

Before Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun came to the city, Liu was still at home thinking about what to do with the pickled vegetables.

Now that Zheng Yuanhe is actually quite interested in these pickled vegetables, I might as well take the opportunity to give him more.

The two talked about pickled vegetables for a while, and then talked about this business.

Zheng Yuanhe said, "My family has been mainly engaged in the business of medicinal materials and grains. Although the world has been peaceful in recent years and business is good, nothing lasts forever. My parents have always been worried that if something happens, this business will easily collapse. It is better to find more ways, so that if one business fails, the other businesses can help to support it."

"The Zheng's Grocery Store in the county town did well in the bamboo weaving business and brought a lot of money to our family last year. My parents were more willing to do some other business, but they thought about it and thought about it, but they still couldn't think of a good business to do."

"I thought that Madam Jiang, you are very smart and have many ideas, so I wanted to ask you if you have any good ideas and give me some advice?"

Seeing Zheng Yuanhe asking this, Jiang Mixia hesitated for a moment, "I am just a little clever, and I am really not up to standard. It is really embarrassing for Manager Zheng to ask me to give some advice."

Jiang Mixia's family is now doing a prosperous business and has quite a foundation, but it is still not enough in front of a family like the Zheng family. Jiang Mixia doesn't dare to show off her skills and make a fool of herself.

"Madam Jiang, you are too modest." Zheng Yuanhe said hurriedly, "Madam Jiang has a unique mind and often comes up with wonderful ideas that most people can't think of. We are just chatting today, and Madam Jiang just talked about it casually. As for whether to do business in this area in the future, we still need to discuss it in detail."

Hearing Zheng Yuanhe say this, Jiang Mixia felt a little more relieved.

As Zheng Yuanhe said, the Zheng family is a wealthy and powerful family of merchants. They must have their own ideas and experience in doing business. I think they will not rush into something just because of an idea from a mere peasant girl.

Jiang Mixia thought for a moment and said, "Manager Zheng, have you ever thought about starting some restaurant business?"

"I have thought about it before, but there are so many restaurants in the city, it's not easy to make a name for yourself."

Zheng Yuanhe said, "If we only serve local cuisine, those restaurants can be considered time-honored brands. If we want to snatch customers from them, we have to invest more money. If we serve Yangzhou cuisine, whether we can find a suitable chef is one thing. Besides, although everyone says that Yangzhou is prosperous and has a lot of food, most people are looking forward to it."

"But I've actually been to Yangzhou, and the food there does look quite exquisite. If you talk about how delicious it is, it's good. But after eating it twice, I really don't feel used to it."

After all, people are shaped by the land and water they live in. Just like if people from Guangdong eat spicy food, they will be quite uncomfortable with it, and if people from the north eat light and oily dishes, they will find them bland.

Zheng Yuanhe's concerns are understandable.

Jiang Mixia nodded, "Manager Zheng, why don't you give it a try? Can this restaurant establish a reputation for its medicinal and health-preserving cuisine?"

"Manager Zheng's family has been in the medicinal materials business for a long time, and everyone in the city knows about it. If we use the name of medicinal cuisine when we open a restaurant, everyone will think that we are using real ingredients, and they will feel relieved."

“Once the word ‘medicinal food’ is mentioned, customers will feel that anything related to medicinal materials is different and will be willing to try something new, which makes it easier to attract customers.”

"There must be many skilled doctors in the herbal medicine shop of Manager Zheng's family. They should prepare some common, frequently used and nourishing medicinal recipes that are not likely to have incompatible foods as signature dishes."

After hearing what Jiang Mixia said, Zheng Yuanhe's eyes suddenly lit up, "Not bad, open a restaurant and make medicinal food!"

Most people are particular about rare things. Medicinal food is something that is gimmicky and fresh. As long as it is genuine and tastes good, there is no need to worry about not having customers.

"That's a good idea." Zheng Yuanhe nodded again, "I'll discuss this with my parents when I go back tonight."

"Thank you so much, Madam Jiang, for your advice."

Zheng Yuanhe stood up and bowed to Jiang Mixia to express his gratitude.

"I'm just imagining things. I don't understand big business matters. It's up to Manager Zheng to plan carefully."

Jiang Mixia answered with a smile, not mentioning her own contribution at all.

Zheng Yuanhe thanked her even more, and when Jiang Mixia left Zheng's, he packed a large bag of various commonly used medicines for her.

Treat colds, injuries, and mosquitoes...

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The most important thing is that there is a bottle of pills inside which is Zheng Ji’s treasure - Ginseng Life-Sustaining Pill.

This is a pill made from century-old ginseng and other precious medicinal materials. If there is a sudden emergency, you can use this thing to save your life.

In short, it is a pill that is very valuable and has excellent medicinal effects.

Jiang Mixia might not be able to use these things, but to put it bluntly, this person eats a variety of grains, and birth, aging, sickness and death are common things. Many times he wants to ask for these pills but can't get them. Shopkeeper Zheng is so generous, there is no reason for him not to accept them.

Jiang Mixia didn't refuse much, just thanked him, then left Zheng's Herb Shop and walked towards the inn.

When we arrived at the inn, Song Jingyun was already in the room.

"My wife is back." Song Jingyun hurriedly helped to take the things, and then poured a cup of tea for Jiang Mixia, "I just arrived, and my wife came right after me."

"Are you hungry, madam? Do you want to go eat later? If you think the food in the inn is not tasty, we can go out to eat. I will treat you to dinner today."

Jiang Mixia almost choked when she drank the water in her mouth.

After calming down for a while, he looked at Song Jingyun suspiciously, "You're treating me to a meal?"

"Yes." Song Jingyun took out his purse and took out the silver inside. "Here, it's a lot. It's enough to treat my wife to a good meal."

Jiang Mixia looked at the silver in Song Jingyun's hand, which was twice as much as when he left earlier, and was surprised. "Where did you get so much money?"
