Feng Jinyu looked at the delicious tomato fish soup in front of him and took a deep breath.
He picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful of tomato fish soup into his mouth.
"Godfather, how is it? Is it fragrant and delicious?" Xiao Xier asked impatiently.
Feng Jinyu ate several spoonfuls of the fish and the soup before saying, "It's delicious. Godfather is reluctant to speak. You guys don't just sit there. Eat quickly, or I'll have to eat it all."
Su Ningjie raised his eyebrows and said, "Uncle, if you like the tomato dishes, please eat more. We won't compete with you. We want to eat the main dishes."
Su Ningjie waved his hand and said, "Come and serve the real food."
After he finished speaking, Yun Yi brought people to put spicy stir-fried pork belly, stir-fried beef, chopped pepper fish head, rice pepper diced rabbit, and pheasant stewed with mushrooms on the table.
The portion is not large, but it is enough to feed the mother and her two children.
"This is our main dish, a chili dish. Uncle, you have to get better soon before you can eat it." After Su Ningjie said this, he picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
Xiao Lingyu glanced at Feng Jinyu, then awkwardly picked up the chopsticks, picked up a small piece of beef and stuffed it into Xiao Xier's mouth.
"Jinyu, this chili pepper is too spicy. You really can't eat it now."
Feng Jinyu looked at the red and green chili dishes opposite and felt hungry.
The aroma of the chili peppers was fragrant and spicy, and Feng Jinyu couldn't help swallowing.
It was too cruel for him to be able to only look but not eat.
At this time, Yun Yi brought up another plate of fruit mixed with chili peppers.
Xiao Lingyu quickly placed the fruit peppers in front of Feng Jinyu and said, "You can't eat the spicy peppers for now, but you can eat the sweet fruit peppers. Try them and see if they're sweet."
Feng Jinyu immediately felt balanced, he knew that Xiaoyu could not treat him so cruelly.
Feng Jinyu avoided the cut fruits, picked up a piece of red fruit pepper accurately, put it in his mouth and tasted it.
It’s really sweet.
"Xiao Yu, if you hadn't told me it was a chili pepper, I would have thought it was fruit." He picked up another yellow chili pepper and tasted it. "Can this fruit chili pepper only be eaten cold?"
“You can also stir-fry it.”
Feng Jinyu suddenly remembered something, "Xiao Yu, you can lead the villagers to grow this rare ingredient and report it to the court. You can use this rare ingredient to gain merit and help your Xiao family redress their grievances and return to the capital."
Upon hearing this, Su Ningjie quickly said, "Mom, our milk tea shop is starting to make money now. We don't need to wait until next spring to lead the villagers to plant more. Let's try planting this month. If it's successful, we can plant it on a large scale in the villages around Xishui County next year."
Su Ningjie hoped that his mother's family could be reunited as soon as possible so that he could meet his maternal grandfather and his family.
Xiao Lingyu was not sure whether the Xiao family could return to the capital, so it was better to lead the villagers to grow rare ingredients as soon as possible.
"Jinyu, whether I can use rare ingredients to help the Xiao family return to the capital depends on the current emperor's wishes. However, I have a plan. Today, I will meet with the village chief to buy five acres of land..."
Su Ningjie said, "Mother, can you wait until I return to the village to start growing rare ingredients?"
Xiao Lingyu smiled gently. This child couldn't sit still. "Okay, mother will listen to you."
After lunch, Xiao Lingyu took Xi Hanxiang to the Lu family villa.
"Xiao Yu, you can't bear to leave Jie Ge, so you have to come to the county every day from now on, right?" Lu Yuan joked when he saw Xiao Lingyu coming in with the two children.
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "Brother Jie didn't sleep at home yesterday. I wasn't used to it. Luckily, I went back to the Lu Mansion to stay for four nights, otherwise I would have brought Brother Jie home today. But I came here today to tell you something important."
Xiao Lingyu handed over four scented lotions and said, "I plan to sell scented lotions."
"You finally figured it out. This is Beiyi's unique fragrance. Once it's released, it will definitely make a lot of money. I happen to be free today, so let's go check out the shop first."
Xiao Lingyu said, "For now, I don't plan to open an incense shop to sell the fragrance dew. I will directly supply the major incense shops."
Lu Yuan said, "This is not cost-effective. It would be better to have a storefront with a signboard, like Lu Yuan Qiong Lou, where you can open multiple branches."
"Yes, mother. If we sell it to others, won't that allow others to learn it?"
Suning thought that these fragrant dew and rare ingredients were unique and could only be sold at a good price.
Xiao Lingyu glanced at Xiao Xi'er who was diligently eating grapes. "Don't worry, Jie'er. It will be difficult for them to figure out the ingredients of the fragrant dew. Take your sister to see your second sister first."
Is there anything about mother that he cannot know?
Or do you not want your sister to know?
Su Ningjie left the room with Xiao Xier, feeling doubtful.
Lu Yuan retracted her gaze and said, "Xiao Yu, I still suggest that we open a perfume shop to sell perfume dew as well as perfume powder and sachets. It would be better to have a physical store like this. The Su family can definitely start with perfume dew and make the family business bigger and stronger."
Xiao Lingyu said seriously, "Ayuan, I've run into some difficulties. The time is not right for me to open a perfume shop. I want to distribute my four fragrances to all the major counties in the south of Beiyi within a month, and to the entire Beiyi within three months. I hope you can help me."
Seeing Xiao Lingyu's serious expression, Lu Yuan knew this was a very tricky matter. "If that's the case, providing these four scents to all the major incense shops would be a good idea. However, there are at least a hundred incense shops in the counties and prefectures south of Beiyi, and this is a unique product. We need to provide each shop with a limited supply. Scarcity makes things valuable, and that's why the scent can fetch a high price."
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "Of course, I only make 1,000 bottles of each fragrance. However, I can't let anyone with ulterior motives find out the source of the fragrance."
Lu Yuan was shocked, thinking that this person might be the big trouble that Mrs. Su was encountering.
The Su family is the benefactor of the Lu family, so naturally she has to contribute manpower and effort.
"Xiao Yu, don't worry, no one will find out the source of the fragrance dew. Just give me the fragrance dew and I will arrange for people to distribute it. You just sit back and wait to get paid."
Xiao Lingyu said, "Of course I won't let you work in vain. We'll split it fifty-fifty."
"Let's split the bill: you take 70% and I take 30%." Lu Yuan felt that she had only arranged for people to run errands and hadn't done much. "It's settled."
"Well then, I'll go back and make the perfume today and pick it up in three days."
"Xiao Yu, isn't it too early? How about seven days later?"
Xiao Lingyu didn't dare to delay and had to stay up all night for three days to finish it.
"Time is tight, three days is a bit late."
Afterwards, Lu Yuan took his men and followed Xiao Lingyu to purchase porcelain bottles, flowers, mortars, filter cloths, spirits and other related raw materials and items.
Looking at the five large trucks full of flowers and thousands of porcelain vases, Su Ningjie really wanted to go back to the village to help, worried that his mother would be too busy.
"Brother Jie, if your mother is busy, there are still your father and your eldest brother. All you have to do is spend more time with your grandfather and listen to your mother, understand?"
Su Ningjie wanted to say that he didn't want to be obedient this time, but he was worried that his mother would dislike him, so he had to stay in Lu Mansion obediently.
After tonight, there are still two nights left before I can help mother.
Su Ningjie didn't know how hard his mother worked and would never give him a chance.
"Jinyu, I want to go back."
