Chapter 80 Spicy sesame oil is a big hit, 6 taels per jar
Xiao Ying achieved his goal and deliberately showed a hint of joy.
"Then I'll trouble you, little brother."
"No trouble, no trouble."
The waiter was happy and asked them to wait in the lobby first, then he went to find the shopkeeper.
"Mom, I didn't expect them to be really interested."
As soon as he left, Chen Xingyun was overjoyed. Mom is so amazing that she can even do business.
Chen Xinghe and Chen Xingyue also looked at each other with admiration. Not only could their mother sell spicy sesame oil here, but she also found out the locations of so many restaurants, which saved them a lot of effort.
Not long after, the waiter came back quickly, followed by a middle-aged man with a puzzled look on his face.
"Boss, this is the lady I was talking about." The waiter immediately introduced the two people: "This lady, this is our boss."
The shopkeeper glanced at Xiao Ying inconspicuously and saw that although she was dressed simply, she was clean and tidy. More importantly, she exuded a sense of momentum, neither humble nor arrogant, but calm and composed.
Although I don’t know why a woman came to the county town to sell things, there are women doing business in Yue Kingdom.
He nodded secretly. With his experience of seeing countless people, he thought that the lady in front of him might have some background, so he spoke politely.
"May I know this lady's name?"
"Excuse me, your surname is Xiao." Xiao Ying replied gracefully, and then asked, "May I know your surname, the shopkeeper?"
"My surname is Yu." The shopkeeper did not say his name, but could not wait to ask about the business.
"I heard that Madam Xiao is here to sell a condiment called spicy sesame oil. I wonder if I'd be lucky enough to take a look?"
"You're too polite, boss." Xiao Ying smiled and immediately ordered Chen Xinghe, "Go get a jar of spicy sesame oil."
"Mom, I'll go right away."
Chen Xinghe suppressed his inner excitement and quickly took out a jar of spicy sesame oil from the ox cart. The jar weighed more than twenty kilograms.
He placed it gently on the table. It was still early and the lobby was empty, without a single customer eating there. It was much easier to look at the goods here.
"This is the spicy sesame oil."
As Xiao Ying spoke, he opened the lid, and a rich and stimulating aroma immediately emanated.
Not only the shopkeeper Yu and the waiter who were nearby, but even the accountant who was a little further away took a few deep breaths and looked at the jar in surprise.
"Madam Xiao's oil is really fragrant. No wonder she dares to seek cooperation with those big restaurants."
Shopkeeper Yu's expression changed immediately. If he was just polite just now, now it was full of surprise and appreciation.
He said that this lady was not like an ordinary person, and it seems he was right.
"I wonder what this oil tastes like? Madam Xiao, may I have the audacity to taste it?"
He knew that this request was a bit presumptuous, but how could he know the taste without tasting it?
Xiao Ying said, "Tasting it directly might be too stimulating. The shopkeeper might as well have someone cut a plate of cold dishes, add the seasoning, and bring over a spoon."
"Okay, okay, I'll get someone to do it right away."
Shopkeeper Yu couldn't wait to tell the waiter to go to the kitchen and ask someone to cut a plate of shredded radish.
Radish is not greedy for money, so he won’t feel bad even if the food doesn’t taste good.
The waiter quickly brought out a plate of shredded radish with seasoning and handed a small spoon to Xiao Ying.
Xiao Ying scooped a spoonful of spicy sesame oil from the jar and poured it evenly on the shredded radish. The waiter immediately prepared the salad and handed the chopsticks to the shopkeeper Yu.
"Shopkeeper Yu can try it."
Looking at the shredded radish that has become much brighter in color, the aroma seems to be even more fragrant.
Shopkeeper Yu swallowed his saliva, picked up a few pieces and put them into his mouth. After taking a bite, his eyes suddenly lit up.
The taste was truly stimulating, but within the stimulation it was also incredibly fragrant. He couldn't even describe what the fragrance was, but he felt that it was completely different from anything he had eaten before.
An ordinary plate of shredded radish tasted several times better after adding a spoonful of spicy sesame oil, and he couldn't stop eating it.
If I wasn't so embarrassed, I would have eaten the whole plate.
Even so, he took three or four bites before putting down his chopsticks.
"Wonderful, truly wonderful!"
Shopkeeper Yu praised it highly. He had been a shopkeeper in the county town for many years and knew the value of this seasoning very well.
Once launched, it will become a hit in the city.
It’s a pity that the Fulai Inn is still too small and can’t accommodate too much, let alone exclusive food. No wonder the other party wanted to seek cooperation with the four major restaurants as soon as they arrived.
Xiao Ying and the other children had expected this and were not surprised.
"Madam Xiao, I wonder how much spicy sesame oil you have?"
Shopkeeper Yu asked with shining eyes.
"How much does Manager Yu want?" Xiao Ying didn't answer foolishly.
Shopkeeper Yu held up two fingers and said, "Our inn can't handle too much food. Let's start with two hundred kilograms."
Two hundred pounds can be used for a long time, and he must seize the opportunity.
"no problem."
Xiao Ying agreed immediately. Two hundred kilograms was actually beyond her expectations.
"Each jar weighs 20 jin, so 10 jars weighs 200 jin."
Shopkeeper Yu nodded, and seeing that the jars were indeed that big.
"Madam Xiao, I wonder what your price is..."
Such a good thing is probably not cheap.
"Six taels of silver for one jar." Xiao Ying quoted the price as planned.
"Six taels?"
Shopkeeper Yu exclaimed in surprise, and the waiter next to him was also surprised.
Chen Xingyun and the others felt a pang of anxiety. Could it be that they thought it was too expensive? It seemed much more expensive than in town...
Unexpectedly, Shopkeeper Yu was overjoyed and actually thought it was too cheap.
A jar weighs six taels, which is equivalent to only three hundred wen per catty. Where can you find such a cheap price?
After all, a pound of oil costs thirty or forty cents, and Madam Xiao added a lot of other things to it, which made Manager Yu laugh out loud with joy.
Of course, a pound of oil can definitely make more than a pound of spicy sesame oil, but he doesn't care about that.
For example, this plate of shredded radish usually costs only ten cents, but he dares to sell it for twenty cents after adding spicy sesame oil!
By this calculation, he can earn at least one or two taels of silver for one pound of spicy sesame oil.
In fact, making money is secondary. The key is to build a reputation, so as to attract more guests to stay in the hotel.
"Go get the silver."
Shopkeeper Yu was afraid that Xiao Ying would go back on his word, so he urged the waiter and the accountant.
"I want cash." Xiao Ying reminded.
"No problem." Shopkeeper Yu didn't care. This amount of money was more than enough in the inn.
So the accountant went to get the silver, and Xiao Ying ordered Chen Xinghe and others to get the spicy sesame oil.
Originally, there were only ten jars on the ox cart. Before entering the city, she took out ten more jars from the space. At this moment, she couldn't help but feel grateful.
Otherwise, they will be sold out here, which will inevitably arouse suspicion.
Since there wasn't much spicy sauce, she didn't tell the shopkeeper, as she guessed he wouldn't be able to eat much either.
"Shopkeeper, remember to store it in a cool place. Normally, it should be kept for a year without any problems."
"Thank you, Madam Xiao, for the reminder."
Ten jars of spicy sesame oil were quickly brought in. Shopkeeper Yu checked them one by one. After confirming that there were no problems, he personally handed sixty taels of silver to Xiao Ying.
Since we settled the bill on the spot, we didn't sign a contract.
The children were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling. Ten jars were sold in just a short time, which was sixty taels of silver!
Shopkeeper Yu was also very happy and took the initiative to ask, "Madam Xiao, are you going to the four major restaurants now?"
"I wonder what advice does the shopkeeper have?"
Xiao Ying did plan to go now. Since he had delayed for so long, it was already 9:00 a.m., and it would probably be late by the time he arrived at his destination.
