Chapter 320: Wealth and Prosperity
Wen Zhenyi calculated in his mind that the butter could be said to be a gift. If people had no choice, they would not choose to buy butter and mutton fat to refine and cook, as they think it has a strong smell.
Therefore, few people buy butter, and they prefer to choose economical vegetable oils such as sesame oil.
When the beef stall owner knew she wanted butter, he would sell it to her at a very low price. Now she just had to calculate the price of the other seasonings.
The ones made here haven't cooled down yet, so she doesn't know exactly how much she has made. Now she can only wait and see after it cools down: "Grandma, please tell Grandma Zhou that we won't know until later. The base material here hasn't cooled down yet."
"Okay, I'll go out and talk to her."
Ah Xiang looked at the pots of base on the table and asked: "Master, are we going to sell these after they solidify?"
"It can only be sold when it solidifies. Otherwise, can we sell it out spoonful by spoonful?"
"Now that you mention it, it can be sent to a very far place."
"Yes, this hot pot is best enjoyed where the weather is cold."
"When you say that, I feel comfortable just thinking about it."
The next day.
The hot pot base had completely solidified. He carefully took it out of the basin, weighed it, and Wen Zhenyi calculated and gave a relatively reasonable price.
This price is affordable for ordinary families, and she can make money this way.
Old Mrs. Zhou readily accepted it and asked in detail how to eat the hot pot base.
Wen Zhenyi explained to her patiently.
Old Mrs. Zhou took the hot pot base and went back with a smile, and did not forget to brag about Wen Zhenyi on the way.
As a result, Wen Zhenyi spent the entire day selling hot pot base and explaining how to use it.
Qin Xing brought her a glass of water: "Miss, have a drink."
Wen Zhenyi took the water cup and took a big sip: "This explanation is too tiring, next time I should write it out and let them read it themselves."
"Miss, there are so few people who can read these days."
Wen Zhenyi was really at his wit's end now and could only think of another way.
The next day, before dawn, she drove a carriage to the town with hot pot ingredients, intending to find Master Cheng.
Mr. Cheng was woken up by someone before he woke up. When he came to the flower hall, he was still confused: "Wen girl, are you suffering from insomnia? So early in the morning..." He yawned loudly before he finished speaking.
"I'm here to give you some money."
When Master Cheng heard this, all his sleepiness disappeared. "What is it?"
Wen Zhenyi told him about the hot pot base.
Mr. Cheng looked at something beautifully wrapped in banana leaves on the table and asked, "Is this it?"
"Um."
"Are you planning to let me open a shop? Or are you planning to let me sell this hot pot base?"
“How to make the most money?”
"If I were to ask you, I'd open a shop and do this unique business. But you also said this place isn't suitable, and I don't have any business in the north, so this is a bit difficult to do."
Wen Zhenyi pondered for a moment: "This is really difficult to deal with."
"But I can recommend someone else."
"who?"
"The Song family has a business in the north, and Mr. Song is now interested in training Song Yi to take over the family business. You can go find him. But I can sell your hot pot base in the store. After all, it's a good thing to add to the people's menu."
"Okay, I'll go find him before the New Year."
"Since you are here, please take the holiday gift I gave you back with you. I will be leaving for the county town tomorrow and won't be back until after the New Year."
"What a coincidence, we are also planning to go to the county town."
"Do you have a place to stay? If not, our house is spacious, you can stay with us."
"I have a place to live. The windmill gave me a house as a reward. This time I can go and take a look."
"What position?"
Wen Zhenyi told her the address of the house.
Master Cheng chuckled, "What a coincidence! It's right across from my house. I heard there was a fight going on in this house these past few days. It's probably someone is going to move in. I didn't expect it to be you."
"So this fate is indescribable!"
Master Cheng laughed out loud: "Then we will meet again in the county town."
"good."
Mr. Cheng pushed a box in front of her and said, "This is for you."
Wen Zhenyi looked at the box in front of him: "It can't be a banknote."
"Quite clever."
"Why did you give me a banknote?"
"This is your dividend. It's just started, so it's not that much."
Wen Zhenyi opened it curiously and saw one side was also filled with banknotes: "So many?"
“It’s not a lot for me, but these businesses have good prospects. I plan to open some in other towns.”
"Then I wish Master Cheng great wealth and prosperity."
"I'm making a lot of money, and so are you."
When Wen Zhenyi left, half of the carriage was filled with holiday gifts.
Ah Xiang looked at all these things and asked: "Master, are your return gifts enough?"
Wen Zhenyi smiled faintly: "The gift is small, but the sentiment is great."
"Where are we going now?"
"Let's buy some chicken, duck, fish and meat. Let's go to Uncle Jiang and Haiwa's house and give them the New Year gifts."
Ah Xiang nodded and turned around the pier and walked towards the market.
When Zhu Tao saw her, she could only nod and greet her casually. The business of the store has been very good recently, and many customers from other places come here to have breakfast.
Wen Zhenyi took a look at the people who were busy working and wondered whether Qin Xing should be transferred to the store to help.
The business of a braised meat shop is not that troublesome nowadays, as long as the ingredients are prepared cleanly.
A Xiang and his friends drove the ox cart, carrying large and small bags of things, and went to Hougang Village first.
When Haiwa and his family saw them coming, they were very happy: "Miss Wen."
Wen Zhenyi and the others came into the yard carrying a lot of things: "It's New Year's Day, so we're planning to give you some gifts."
"You are too polite. We didn't give you any holiday gifts, but you gave us one." Haiwa's father felt a little embarrassed.
"You guys aren't setting up stalls now?"
"No, we're busy making coconut shells, picking up shells, and going to the sea to catch fish." Hai Wan's mother and the others all had smiles on their faces.
Wen Zhenyi could clearly see that Haiwa's family's clothes were all newly made, and it seemed that they were indeed living a good life.
"I came here today to ask you for something."
"Miss Wen, you're being too polite. There's no such thing as asking for something. If you have anything to say, just say it directly."
"I want you to go to the sea before the New Year and help me catch some big lobsters from the deep sea."
"That's all, no problem."
"I'm going to the county town to celebrate the New Year in a few days, so I'd like to trouble you to send someone to take me there."
"Looking for Biaozi, right?"
