Chapter 487 I Won’t Be Polite with Brother Nine

For Tang Mingrui, the dish of candied sweet potato is definitely a new experience.

The dishes of the Dashun Dynasty were generally salty, and this was the first time he had tasted such sweet and delicious dishes.

He runs a restaurant business and knows his customers' tastes best. Many women and children prefer sweet taste.

The chef of the restaurant even specially developed two sweet dishes for this purpose. Although those two dishes are indeed very popular among women and children, compared with this candied sweet potato, the difference in taste and texture is not that small, it can be said that there is a world of difference between them.

"Brother Jiu, can you sell me the recipe for this dish?"

"I'll give you the recipe." Mo Jiuye answered without any hesitation.

Because this is what my wife told me last night.

He Zhiran had read time-travel novels in his previous life. Many female protagonists made their first fortune by selling vegetable recipes after traveling through time.

Although the recipes she sold could be worth up to a thousand taels, she didn't plan to do so, especially since the person who needed the recipes was Tang Mingrui.

They have always done business in a cooperative manner, and Tang Mingrui is very honest with the Mo family. He did not play tricks on the profit sharing just because the Mo family did not participate in the business.

He Zhiran felt that such partners were hard to come by, and they really didn't care about the small profits from the vegetable sellers.

If you want to sell sweet potatoes at a higher price, you must have a good way to eat them.

Tang Mingrui had a lot of contact with Mo Jiuye and knew what kind of person he was. Even if he opposed anything the couple said, it would be of no use.

"In that case, I won't be polite to Brother Jiu anymore. I will work hard to create higher profits from sweet potatoes and share the profits with Brother Jiu and Sister Jiu."

Mo Jiuye likes dealing with such straightforward people.

"Well, the profit from sweet potatoes is a win-win for both of us, so Brother Tang doesn't have to worry about the recipe."

While the two were talking, Lan'er and Yu'er brought each of them a bowl of sweet potato porridge.

After tasting it, Tang Mingrui kept praising it.

Not only that, there are also sweet potato cakes and fried sweet potato balls on the table.

No matter what it is, it is absolutely top-notch delicacy for Tang Mingrui.

After dinner, Mo Jiuye and Tang Mingrui went to a room alone to discuss the sweet potato business in detail.

Because the cooperation with Tang Mingrui was based on a profit-sharing method, both parties did not have to worry about the cost of the sweet potatoes, and Mo Jiuye did not hide the price at which he sold the sweet potatoes to the government for use as seeds.

Especially since Tang Mingrui can only have exclusive control of sweet potatoes for one year.

Because starting from next year, the people of Yuncheng will plant sweet potatoes on a large scale. When the sweet potatoes are ripe, they will no longer be a rare food in Yuncheng.

By that time, if Tang Mingrui still wanted to make a lot of money by using sweet potatoes, it would be almost impossible.

Tang Mingrui also understood this principle. He was not greedy. After all, there were still many good things in the Mo family. With just these 50,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes, he could make a fortune.

What's more, Brother Nine and Sister-in-law once mentioned that the fruit trees on Mojia Mountain will have a large harvest next year.

He has also tasted many kinds of Mo family fruits, and every one of them is comparable to the world's delicacies.

There is also the jewelry business that Brother Nine and Sister-in-law mentioned before, which can also process something called milk powder. It is said that the milk powder is very easy to preserve and can be brewed with boiling water.

In short, he could do countless businesses with the Mo family, and he would not be discouraged by the fact that the huge profits from sweet potatoes only lasted for one year.

Tang Mingrui has a good attitude and still maintains his previous business style, not wasting a moment.

The next day, he asked the restaurant's chef to go to Xiling Village with him, and Yu'er taught the chef how to make several sweet potato dishes.

The preparation method of sweet potato dishes is not difficult, and the main advantage is that the dishes are novel.

While the chef was learning, Tang Mingrui also brought people to transport several trucks of sweet potatoes.

After four or five days of hard work, all the sweet potatoes in the Mo family's field were transported away by Meng Huaining and Tang Mingrui.

As for the food for their own families, they don’t have to worry at all. He Zhiran has as much as they need in his space.

Time flies, and it is early August.

A lively scene appeared in the Mohist school again.

This day was the full moon celebration for Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran’s two children.

Such a big thing happened some time ago. According to the Mo family, the full moon banquet for the two babies should be simple.

Keeping it simple doesn’t mean not having the event, it’s just about having a great time with the family.

But the villagers were too enthusiastic and sent gifts to congratulate them early on.

In this situation, it would be unreasonable not to host a few banquets to entertain everyone.

Therefore, on the day when the two little ones were one month old, the Mo family once again held a banquet to entertain relatives and friends.

This day marks the full moon of the two little ones, and it is also the time when the Mojia corn is ripe.

If not for this, Mo Jiuye would have organized people to harvest corn a day or two ago.

However, today's Mohist banquet is very different.

The staple food is no longer the rice and white flour buns of the past, but has been replaced by corn cakes, corn paste and boiled corn.

In addition to these staple foods, there are two dishes that use corn as an ingredient.

One of the dishes is corn with pine nuts, which is a very common dish today.

Another dish is an iron pot stew with corn as one of the ingredients.

The reason why Mohist School chose to use corn to make so many kinds of food was for one purpose only, which was to let the people attending the banquet today have a good understanding of this food that is both productive and delicious.

Sure enough, the effect was extraordinary.

When the people of Xiling Village heard that this was the thing they had advised the Mo family not to plant, they regretted it very much.

When everyone heard Mo Jiuye say that the yield per mu of such delicious corn could reach more than a thousand kilograms, they wanted to slap themselves in the face.

Zhao Lizheng, in particular, suddenly felt a sense of guilt.

He was the one who was most vocal in opposing the Mohist movement, and he was also the one who was hurt the most by being slapped in the face today.

Putting aside other things, the corn tortillas are much more delicious than the coarse flour tortillas they usually eat.

The more you eat boiled corn and corn paste, the more delicious it becomes. It’s such a delicious food, and the harvest is so high.

If he had believed Mo Jiuye earlier and encouraged the villagers to grow some, regardless of how much the corn was worth, at least they would not have to worry about going hungry at home during the winter.

The more Zhao Lizheng thought about it, the more annoyed he became, so much so that he didn't say a few words from the beginning to the end of the banquet.

Fang Chuanzhuo and Xie Tianhai are exactly the opposite of him.

Because they trusted Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran, the two of them resolutely followed their lead and planted corn and sweet potatoes in the spring.

Needless to say, when the Mo family started organizing people to dig sweet potatoes a few days ago, they also mobilized the whole family to harvest them.
