Chapter 116: The spicy sesame oil shop opened and business was booming
As for Wei Liang, he sighed softly after leaving Chenjia Village.
"Sir, has Xiao Ying's suspicion been cleared?" asked the county magistrate.
"About the same. I just checked her pulse. She has no martial arts training and no internal energy. She is indeed just an ordinary person with great strength."
"But what happened to those bandits? And who killed the county magistrate?"
The county magistrate was puzzled and felt that the clues had ended here.
Wei Liang was silent for a moment, then said, "You seem to have forgotten one thing."
"Please give me some advice, sir."
"Qian Qingrong's murder actually involved another force: Ruyi Restaurant."
"Ah... My Lord, do you suspect that it was done by Ruyi Restaurant?"
The county magistrate was shocked. He had indeed overlooked Ruyi Restaurant, but when he thought about it carefully, it was indeed not impossible.
Wei Liang's eyes were far-reaching, and he lowered his voice. "Zhou Tianci bribed the bandits to rob and kill Xiao Ying. His ultimate goal was to prevent Ruyi Restaurant from obtaining more spicy sesame oil and restore the restaurant's business to its previous state. This has already touched upon Ruyi Restaurant's core interests."
"The real owner of Ruyi Restaurant is the Ning family. With the Ning family's power and means, could they tolerate a clown like Zhou Tianci?"
"I believe there were indeed more than 30 bandits who robbed and killed Xiao Ying. Perhaps Ruyi Restaurant had long known about the Zhou family's plan, so they sent experts to secretly protect him."
"This explains the murder method described by the two bandits and their disappearance."
With the help of the Ning family's experts, it was easy to deal with more than 30 corpses.
The county magistrate opened his mouth, shocked by this statement, but it did explain the matter.
If it was really done by the Ning family, then they can't investigate further, otherwise they might lose their heads.
The other party even dared to kill the county magistrate, so how could he take him, the county magistrate, seriously?
"Sir, then we..."
Wei Liang sighed, "That's it. The other party has already chosen someone to take the blame for us. We just have to do as they say."
He couldn't afford to offend a giant like the Ning family, not even the prefect, so the matter ended there.
The county magistrate secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This was a good thing. They had wiped out the Black Wind Village and would probably get a lot of rewards for it. Why create any more trouble?
Xiao Ying didn't know what the two were thinking, and actually blamed the Ning family for this matter.
If you knew, you would probably be in tears and laugh, and then give a thumbs up.
…
June 1st.
Chen Xinghe finally went to the academy. Xiao Ying personally sent him to the gate of the academy and told him to study hard.
Since there was an ox cart, it was more convenient to travel back and forth, so Chen Xinghe did not live in the academy. Instead, he left early and returned late, just in time to be with Chen Xingyun and his sister.
On this day, the spicy sesame oil shop owned by Chen Xingyun and her sister was officially opened.
After sending Chen Xinghe off, Xiao Ying came to support the two of them. Even Chen Xinghai, who didn't go to the county to deliver goods, came along.
After a few days of publicity, this shop has piqued everyone's interest.
Therefore, the entrance was crowded with people early in the morning, and no one complained about the bad luck anymore.
There are four flower baskets on each side of the shop entrance. It was Xiao Ying's suggestion. The baskets contain not flowers, but clusters of bright red peppers.
There is also a red banner in each flower basket with the name of the donor written on it.
There are Xiao Ying, Chen Xinghai, Chen Xinghe, Chen Afu, He Jin, Chen Jie and others.
Such a novel way immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.
The red silk on the plaque has been peeled off, revealing four powerful and vigorous characters: Spicy and Sesame Oil.
Xiao Ying, Chen Xinghai and Chen Xingyue stood on one side, looking at the figure in the middle with smiling eyes.
Chen Xingyun changed into her newly bought apricot long skirt today, and her hair was combed in a dignified and pretty bun, making her look much more mature and stable.
Facing the various looks from the crowd, she took a deep breath.
"Today is the grand opening day of our spicy sesame oil shop. Welcome everyone!"
"My name is Chen Xingyun, and I'm the shop owner. Today, I promise you that anyone who buys in the first three days will receive a 10% discount."
"If you spend more than two taels of silver, you will become a VIP of this store and enjoy a 10% discount on all future purchases."
As soon as these words were spoken, many people's eyes lit up, especially the owners of restaurants and inns, who began to think about it in their hearts.
Two taels of silver is not a lot for them. They can buy about thirteen pounds of spicy sesame oil, and these seasonings can probably only be used for a month.
Next time you buy it, you can save fifteen cents per catty, which is quite a deal.
Therefore, some people made up their minds to collect two taels of silver today to become VIP guests of the shop.
Other smart people are even wondering whether this method can be adopted in their stores?
But most people don’t have any idea. No matter how delicious the spicy sesame oil is, it is just a condiment. It is not worth it for them to spend two taels of silver just to get a discount in the future.
No matter what everyone thought, Chen Xingyun had calmed down after the initial nervousness, and his smile became brighter.
"Without further ado, please come in."
She made way for them, and Xiao Ying and the other two each took up their duties and began to introduce the guests.
The shop, which is about 30 to 40 square meters in size, is filled with spicy oil and spicy sauce on three sides. At this time, customers flocked in and the shop was so crowded that no one could get through.
The owners of restaurants and inns would buy a whole jar weighing 20 kilograms at a time. Such a jar was much cheaper than in the county town. Spicy sesame oil only cost three taels of silver, and spicy sauce cost two taels of silver.
In order to prevent people from reselling and making a profit, the store stipulates that each person cannot purchase more than 20 kilograms per day, so as not to cause too big a problem.
In this way, those who purchase a whole jar can directly apply for membership and become VIPs. Chen Xinghai is responsible for recording this matter. In just half an hour, he processed seven members.
Of course, most people buy it in quantities of one or two pounds or even several ounces.
Some people think spicy sesame oil is too expensive, so they buy spicy sauce. Spicy sauce contains less oil and is not suitable for cold dishes. Xiao Ying and others have introduced these.
In just one morning, more than 300 kilograms of the two seasonings were sold, which was far beyond Chen Xingyun's expectations.
But everyone also knows that this is because their appetite has been whetted in the early stages, and there may not be so much left tomorrow.
"Mom, aren't we losing out?"
Although Chen Xingyun was satisfied, he was also a little worried.
"How did you lose money?" Xiao Ying asked curiously.
"It's a loss. If I sold it to Ruyi Restaurant, I could get a hundred more taels of silver."
Chen Xingyun sighed. Although the current price was not cheap for the people in the town, they really couldn't make much money.
Xiao Ying laughed. "I let you open this shop mainly for training, not to make money. Besides, we are from Hongye Town, so it's only natural that the people here can enjoy preferential treatment."
It was just a matter of making less money, but Xiao Ying didn't take it seriously. He could make it back by selling a few jars to Ruyi Restaurant.
"When you become proficient in business, go to the county town or even the provincial capital to open a shop. Then we can make more money."
Chen Xingyun nodded, and felt better.
Suddenly he added, "But both of these seasonings are exclusively distributed by Ruyi Restaurant."
"Then you can start other businesses in the future, such as our farmed crayfish, or potatoes. As long as you understand the ropes, why worry about not having business?"
Xiao Ying has already planned a lot of things to make. In addition to crayfish, potatoes, rapeseed oil, he can also make soap, candles, and even bicycles in the future, but he has to take it step by step.
Chen Xingyun's eyes also lit up again, full of fighting spirit.
