Chapter 66: Explosive Red Chili Oil

He comforted her, "It's okay. We'll be together when the time comes. There's strength in numbers. With so many people, it will be quick."

Xu Qingmeng smiled bitterly, but she couldn't tell him openly that she was pregnant.

Shen Jin asked, "Madam Gu, there is no rush for these. The next batch will arrive at the end of the month at the latest. These can be made in ten days or half a month."

Xu Qingmeng wanted to do it slowly, but He refused to do it. After all, it could only be turned into money after everything was done.

In this way, Xu Qingmeng led a few people from the He family to work in their free time, and finally finished everything within five days.

Shen Jinwen had people buy the most common wide-mouthed bottles on the market. A full bottle weighed only about four taels. After making so many peppers, they filled about two thousand six hundred bottles and sold them in Shen's Grocery Store at two hundred coins per bottle.

He was shocked by the price and even suggested that Xu Qingmeng should not eat for free in the store.

Xu Qingmeng smiled and said, "After they eat it, they can't forget the taste, so they want to buy more. Besides, this can also become a feature of our Gu Family Restaurant!"

I won’t mention He anymore.

Shen Jinwen didn't feel that his products were expensive at all. With Gu's Restaurant doing free advertising, he had no worries about sales. Of course, he and Xu Qingmeng had made it very clear in the contract that the products could only be sold in his shop and could not be sold in Gu's Restaurant alone.

Xu Qingmeng also expressed his agreement, so the two parties reached an agreement.

After knowing the price, some people who had never eaten it were secretly wondering if Shen Jinwen was crazy about money. Wouldn't it be better to buy meat with those two hundred coins? Or is it not good to buy oil? Why bother buying those red chili peppers? They are more than ten times more expensive.

Of course, there are also people who have eaten red chili oil in Gu's restaurant. Thinking about the price of this can of chili oil at two hundred coins, they all feel how generous the Gu family is. They are willing to let them eat such expensive things for free. They are even more determined to eat only at Gu's restaurant.

Xu Qingmeng didn't think so much. After such busy days, she now wanted to bring Xinting out so that she could free up her hands, because this busy life was not what she wanted. She didn't like this kind of high-intensity work. Now she was just forced by the situation.

In mid-April, He began to become absent-minded.

Xu Qingmeng saw it and of course knew that she was worried about Gu Yunyi.

When Gu Yunyi left, He didn't show any expression, but she must have been worried in her heart. After all, a mother worries about her son even when he is far away, and this is an eternal truth.

Not to mention He's worry, although Xu Qingmeng's life was no different every day, she was also worried in her heart.

Although according to the direction of the book, Gu Yunyi will definitely be on the road to glory in the future, but the past ten years are only mentioned in a few words, and we have no idea what he has experienced in the past ten years. Especially now there is a county lieutenant Liu who is targeting us and we have no idea why.

At this moment in the city, it was the time for the exam to start. Countless students gathered together and were waiting outside the examination room before dawn.

Gu Yunyi was carrying a large bamboo box at this time, which was filled with food prepared by Xu Qingmeng. Gu Yunyi had just bought some steamed buns and prepared an empty bowl to eat instant noodles when the time came. He was ready to enter.

He was at the front of the list, and not far behind him, Lin Yichen was looking at Gu Yunyi's back with dark eyes.

Zheng Feng followed his gaze and chuckled, "Young Master Liu also came to the city this time. I heard that he has been hanging out with Gu Yunyi these past few days. I haven't been able to get Young Master Liu out yet."

Lin Yichen turned his head away and said, "Why are you talking to me? I'm not familiar with him."

Lin Yichen also arrived at the provincial capital early, so how could he not know what Zheng Feng said? He secretly felt sorry for Xu Qingmeng.

Zheng Feng suddenly spoke up, "I heard from Wang Ke before that our eldest son Lin fell in love with the girl who saved the beauty at first sight? Tell us, whose girl is she?"

Lin Yichen's expression changed slightly, "Nothing."

Zheng Feng looked at his slightly changing expression and felt a sense of pride in his heart.

In Yan County, the price of red chili peppers is relatively high, and Shen Jinwen does not expect everyone to buy them. He thinks that this batch can be sold for at least a month.

Unexpectedly, in less than a week, these nearly 2,600 bottles of red chili oil were all sold out, and those who came late even complained about why Shen Jinwen prepared so little.

Shen Jinwen looked calm and composed when talking to that person. He smiled faintly and said that he would prepare the next batch as soon as possible. After closing the door at night, he hurried to Gu's house with the account books and silver money, smiling happily.

"I didn't expect this red chili oil to sell so well. At first, some people just asked about it, but when they heard the price, they backed off. Who knew it would sell so well later? The shop assistants are so busy. People from East Street come to buy six or seven bottles at a time, and some even buy ten bottles. All the goods in the store were sold out by noon today. Madam Gu is really amazing!"

Xu Qingmeng just smiled: "It is Mr. Shen who has a business mind."

"No, no, Madam Gu, you are offering free tastings in the restaurant. Once people try it, they will fall in love with it. If people spread the word, it will be considered free publicity." Shen Jinwen said.

Xu Qingmeng certainly understood that this played an invisible role in publicity, but Shen Jinwen was also busy behind the scenes. After all, all the people living in East Street were wealthy families, and he specifically invited the heads of these families to have a drink.

As the saying goes, a man who has eaten someone's food will be soft-hearted. So it was hard for the bosses to refuse and they all took a bottle back. After cooking, the fresh, fragrant and spicy taste instantly attracted the attention of the masters of each household, which led to the popularity of red chili oil in the following days.

Shen Jinwen took out the account book and showed it to Xu Qingmeng.

"There were 2,640 bottles in total. I gave 20 bottles away and sold all the rest. In the end, I got 524 ounces of silver."

Xu Qingmeng looked at it very carefully, and the accounts made by Shen Jinwen were also very clear. Of course, Xu Qingmeng also knew the amount of things that went out of her hands.

After deducting the cost, Xu Qingmeng finally got 137 taels and 6 cents.

He was so surprised that her jaw almost dropped. She had thought that this restaurant was very profitable. After all, the more than one hundred taels given to Gu Yunyi were all earned during this period of time.

Who would have thought that this red chili oil chili could earn more than one hundred taels in one transaction.

You know, it only took five days to make all this. No, if you count carefully, it was only two and a half days. After all, they only had time to deal with it in the afternoon.

After Xu Qingmeng got what he deserved and sent Shen Jinwen away, He couldn't help but sigh: "Three years of drought, the cook will not starve to death, it really makes sense."
