Chapter 55 Earn Money for Mother



After Su Ningjie lifted his robe and sat down, he gently placed the can of garlic chili sauce in his hand on the table.

Seeing the wonton stall owner was cooking wontons, he said to the stall owner: "Auntie, bring us a clean small plate."

After the wonton stall owner brought the clean plate over, Su Ningjie opened the ceramic pot on the table and scooped a few spoonfuls of red sauce from the pot into the plate with his own spoon. He asked curiously, "Young Master, what kind of sauce is this?"

Su Ningjie glanced at Xiao Lingyu and said, "This is garlic chili sauce."

Su Ningjie didn't say much. The chili sauce his mother made that day used a large bowl of chili peppers, about five pounds.

Chili peppers cost 20 taels per pound, and a bowl of wontons at a wonton stall costs five cents. It seems they can't afford it.

If his mother sold it for a few dozen coins, he could talk to the boss lady about it in detail.

Seeing that Su Ningjie didn't say much, the proprietress didn't ask any more questions.

Soon, six bowls of steaming wontons were served on the table.

Su Ningan looked at the two extra bowls of wontons and asked, "Mom, can I have two more bowls?"

Xiao Lingyu said, "I just asked for two extra bowls for you. If it's not enough, you can ask for more. You two brothers are tired today."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ningjie put half a spoonful of garlic chili sauce into Su Ning'an's bowl.

"Brother, it tastes better if you add some garlic chili sauce to it."

Suningan simply stirred it a few times and tasted the wontons dipped in garlic chili sauce.

Su Ning'an's eyes lit up, and he finished the bowl of wontons in a few breaths.

"Mom, I didn't expect this garlic chili sauce to be delicious with wontons. I think three bowls isn't enough. Can I have three more?"

Su Ningjie said, "Mom, it's really delicious. I want another bowl too."

The wonton soup couple were delighted to hear this. As soon as the lady gave the order, the wontons were put into the pot and cooked.

The couple looked at the dish of sauce on the table at the same time. Is this garlic chili sauce really so delicious?

Xiao Lingyu slowly swallowed the wontons in his mouth and said calmly, "Boss, four more bowls, please."

The boss and his wife smiled from ear to ear, "Okay, ma'am, it will be ready soon."

At this time, a regular customer came over and took a look at the red sauce on the table next to him. "Boss, give me a bowl of big wontons and a plate of your new sauce."

The proprietress hurriedly said, "Old Yu, this sauce was brought by this lady herself."

Old Yu looked disappointed. "I see. Bring on the wontons."

Soon, four new bowls of wontons were brought to the table.

"Madam, young master, please enjoy your meal."

Old Yu saw the two brothers eating wontons with red sauce, which looked delicious. He looked down at the wontons in his spoon and instantly felt bored.

"Young Master, may I ask what kind of sauce you are eating?"

Suningjie felt that the wonton stall might not be able to afford chili peppers, but he could let them know that chili peppers were delicious.

"This is garlic chili sauce. It's made from chili peppers that I grow at home. It's delicious when stir-fried with vegetables or rice. Would you like to try it?"

Old Man Yu blurted out, "Yes."

Su Ningjie glanced at Xiao Lingyu, who nodded slightly.

Su Ningjie scooped a little garlic chili sauce into Old Man Yu's wonton bowl.

After stirring the wonton soup a few times with chopsticks, Old Man Yu lowered his head to smell it, and then couldn't help but eat it in big mouthfuls. Soon the wonton soup was gone.

"Boss, give me another bowl."

Old Man Yu looked at Su Ningjie and said shamelessly, "Can I have another bowl? This chili sauce is just as the young master said, very delicious and goes well with rice."

Su Ningjie smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Old Man Yu continued, "Young Master, I wonder if you are willing to give them up. I want to buy some and cook for myself."

Su Ningjie said, "This chili pepper is very rare and expensive. However, if you want to eat it again, go to the restaurant in a few days."

Su Ningjie wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, glanced at the little garlic chili sauce left on the plate, and stood up and said, "Boss, check out."

"Young Master, ten bowls in total, fifty cents."

Xiao Lingyu took out fifty coins and put them on the table, then took the children away from the wonton stall and got on the carriage.

When the carriage passed by the wonton stall again, Xiao Lingyu and Su Ningjie both lifted the curtain and looked over.

"Old man, this garlic chili sauce is really delicious with rice. We should have bought a few pounds of chili peppers from that lady to make chili sauce. Who knows how many bowls of wontons we can sell every day."

The boss said, "I think it's okay, but the lady may not sell it, and if she does, it won't be cheap. We in Beiyi have never had this kind of chili pepper before."

Xiao Lingyu lowered the car curtain: "Second brother, did you hear what they were saying?"

Su Ningjie said: "They think the garlic chili sauce is delicious and want to buy some chili peppers to make chili sauce."

Xiao Lingyu asked again, "Why do they want to buy chili peppers to make hot sauce?"

Su Ningjie thought for a moment and said, "They said we can sell a few more bowls of wontons."

"Then why does buying chili peppers to make hot sauce help sell more wontons?"

Su Ningjie said: "The wontons with garlic chili sauce are delicious. I can't help but eat an extra bowl."

Xiao Lingyu continued, "We could have spent thirty coins today, but because we had wontons with garlic chili sauce, we ate four more bowls and spent an extra twenty coins."

Su Ningjie suddenly understood what was going on. "Mom, it's because we spent more money on the garlic chili sauce, and they made more money."

Xiao Lingyu continued, "So, is it true that chili peppers are not only delicious, but can also help them make more money?"
