It can be described in a few words: a very fruitful experience.
Qiao Lian'er continued making chili sauce, and in half a morning, she made 100 jin (50 kg).
This stuff has a long shelf life, so even if we don't sell it all, we can keep it and sell it tomorrow.
When she returned with the carriage and the chili sauce, she found several people who didn't look like ordinary guests waiting there.
It's the kind of managerial style.
Upon seeing her, Qiao Laosan said, "Lian'er, they are all restaurant owners, managers, and purchasing agents. They're waiting to buy ingredients from us."
The ingredients were all in the carriage. Qiao Lian'er drove the carriage away, so they had nothing left to sell.
"Alright, I'm here. Sorry to keep you all waiting," Qiao Lian'er said apologetically.
She parked the carriage, and Ah Da and the others followed suit, unloading the chili sauce. The carriage was filled with all sorts of ingredients, five bags of each, each weighing one hundred catties.
After the previous fermentation, Qiao Lian'er believed that today was the right time.
Without wasting any words, the shopkeepers and managers quickly pushed their way forward.
"I want 200 jin of potatoes and 100 jin of peanuts."
"I want 100 jin of corn and 100 jin of potatoes."
"I want 100 catties of dried chili peppers, 100 catties each of peanuts, potatoes, and corn."
"I also want chili peppers, fifty catties of fresh ones and one hundred catties of dried ones."
"..."
They rushed to get there, afraid that if they were late, the ingredients would be bought up by others.
Jiuweilou and Fuguilou have been doing booming business these past two days because of these ingredients.
That Mingyuelou restaurant makes spicy dishes that suit many people's tastes and attracts a lot of customers. I asked and found out that the chili peppers were bought from stall number eight, and the wasabi and ginger were all from the younger brother.
These teahouses and taverns were all located on the main street, next to each other. If one of them made any noise, the others would know very quickly, so the news spread very fast.
The goods on the carriage were quickly emptied, bag by bag.
The bamboo basket in Qiao Lian'er's hand contained either silver notes or gleaming silver coins.
After the shopkeepers left, she counted the taels and, good heavens, it was a full thirty-four taels.
Inside the carriage, apart from a little corn and chili peppers, everything else was sold out. Qiao Lian'er secretly put two more bags in the miscellaneous goods compartment.
A few more shopkeepers and managers arrived, standing not far away, looking around with hesitation on their faces.
They are a small-scale restaurant or eatery, and for them, buying these ingredients is a considerable expense. They don't even know if they can make a profit, so they are not so quick to make a decision.
Finally, they came over and each of them asked for thirty catties of potatoes and twenty catties of corn.
Qiao Lian'er pondered that those who buy large quantities of ingredients are mostly owners of large restaurants, and it takes time for ingredients to be consumed, so it's unrealistic to expect to make that much money every day.
Today might be the peak of this period.
However, once the sales channels are established, there will be a continuous stream of wholesale orders, and you will make a profit, more or less.
The business had only been open for half a morning, and he already had more than thirty taels in hand. With the county government's reward, he had more than fifty taels.
The Qiao family was overjoyed.
They have energy to work, their whole body is full of motivation, and they don't know what it means to be tired.
Someone else passed by and picked up the bear, who was beaten until his buttocks were bruised and bleeding. He confessed everything and was immediately thrown into prison.
He deserved it.
"Hello, I'd like two servings of fried potatoes and two corn cobs." A girl came to the stall, holding her seven-year-old brother's hand.
Upon closer inspection, Da Yong realized it wasn't the same girl from yesterday.
