There are three cooks in Ding Jie's family, his father, his second uncle, and his second uncle's cousin, who are all picky eaters, but because his sister said so...

So Ding Jie quickly praised it: "It smells good!"

As soon as I smelled it, I knew it was the chili sauce made by his aunt, but his aunt's cooking skills were definitely better than his father's.

Qian Qing scooped out the bright red chili sauce and put it on the white rice. The dishes on the train were already in a bad state, and if the rice was not hot, it would be useless. Fortunately, the chef did not go too far, and the white rice was served hot. A spoonful of chili sauce was poured on it, and the aroma was diffused more thoroughly by the heat.

"Sit down and eat!"

Qian Qing asked everyone to sit down and placed the opened chili sauce in the middle.

Qian Yu, Ding Jie and others sat down to eat, but Huang Sanping was still hesitating.

"Brother-in-law, hurry up, let's order and eat and go back to rest."

Huang Sanping sat down subconsciously when he was urged. When he came to his senses, a meal of one meat and one vegetable was already placed in front of him.

The vegetable dish was stir-fried chicken with chili peppers, and the vegetarian dish was stir-fried dried tofu. There was no difference in the texture, and both tasted equally bad, as if they had been washed with hot water and were tasteless.

Qian Qing scooped a spoonful for each person one by one and said, "Try it with chili sauce."

The originally ordinary meal, when served with chili sauce, seemed like a sketch that had been colored, and it suddenly came alive.

The train attendant was still swallowing his saliva, but the people eating next to him were feeling much worse. It would have been fine if everyone had to eat the same bad food, since complaining wouldn't change the status quo. But the people next to him were eating with gusto, while their own food was still so bad, which made people very depressed.

Although Ding Jie is a simpleton, he has one good point, which is that he is obedient.

Seeing her sister telling lies, he also followed suit.

"It's delicious! Three yuan a bottle is too cheap. There are peanuts and sesame seeds in it, and the sesame seeds are fried until fragrant. Hmm... This dried tofu should have been fried. There should be several ingredients in the oil. I tasted it and it should be cardamom and aniseed..."

Qian Qing stuffed a steamed bun directly into Ding Jie's mouth: "Come on, it tastes better with steamed bun!"

Don't let him talk anymore! If he does, he will have to memorize the ingredients list again!

A woman with a child nearby couldn't sit still anymore and came up to talk to him.

"Comrade, can you sell me some of this chili sauce?"

She was wearing a woolen coat and her hair was curled. Sitting next to her was a fair-skinned boy of seven or eight years old wearing overalls.

The food in the dining car is not cheap, most people still bring their own dry food on board to buy a few meals. People who can spend money to eat here naturally don't care about a few small coins, so the woman came up and said "buy some". Qian Qing was also very satisfied that she didn't drag the children over to beg for food.

"It's free. We bought several bottles. I'll give you a spoonful."

Qian Qing asked the conductor for a clean spoon and scooped a full spoonful for the woman.

The other party thanked her several times, and the little boy in overalls next to him couldn't wait to put the chili sauce on his rice, which made the woman who was about to remind him to eat less spicy food feel sorry for him.

The car ride was too long and the children didn’t have a good meal in the morning. There are still more than ten hours to go. What should I do?

The little boy put the bright red rice into his mouth and immediately squinted his eyes in satisfaction.

"Mom, it's delicious!"

When the people dining nearby saw that the quality had been verified, more of them became eager to try the food, and soon some of them came over with plates in hand to greet them.

Qian Qing accepted everyone who came and gave a spoonful to everyone who came.

After a while, even the train attendant who had spoken to Ding Jie at the beginning came over with a plate of food...

By the time we finished our meal, the bottle of chili sauce was gone.

Qian Qing looked at her brother-in-law who looked distressed, her sister who seemed to be lost in thought, and Ding Jie who looked confused, and consoled them: "It's okay, we bought several bottles, enough for later."

After finishing their meal, the four people were about to go back to their own carriage, but as soon as they got out of the dining car, they were stopped by a woman with a child.

The other party lowered his voice and said, "Comrade, can you sell me a bottle of your chili sauce? It's okay if it's a bit more expensive."

Seeing the child finish his meal with a rare big appetite, she felt happy but couldn't help but start worrying about what to do for the next meal.

Qian Qing looked at the other person in surprise. She was not surprised that the other person came to her to buy chili sauce, but she was surprised how the other person could see through her intention.

The woman twitched her lips and said, "...I used to unload goods on trains a few years ago."

Qian Qing: …

"Five dollars a bottle."

We are all businessmen, so it is normal for us to notice our own exaggerated acting skills.

The other party was obviously not short of money and was about to take money out of her pocket. Qian Qing carefully stopped her and motioned her to follow him to their compartment to pay.

Naturally, there were people who saw their "sneaky" behavior.

After returning to the carriage and completing this first transaction, several people who had tasted the chili sauce in the dining car immediately "passed by" and sold a few bottles.

Huang Sanping was stunned.

No, this little bottle of chili sauce can be sold for five dollars? Are all the idiots in the world on this train?

Qian Qing was still mumbling to herself: "The cost is a bit high. I only get thirty yuan for a bottle of sauce."

Huang Sanping: ...

The cost of a bottle of sauce distributed on the dining car, plus the meal expenses of a few people, plus the six bottles sold, is only a dozen dollars, right?

A method that doubles your money by just flipping the ball, but does it have a high cost?

Ding Jie praised his sister in person: "Second sister, you are so amazing!"

No wonder his father grabbed his ears and taught him before he left, telling him to learn from his sister when he got out. His sister is really a natural at doing business!

Qian Qing looked at the dozen or so bottles of chili sauce left in her bag, and after a change of mind, she gave Ding Jie a task.

"You mean... you want me to sell all of this before I get off the bus?"

Qian Qing nodded: "I'll give you five dollars as capital, and you can try to sell it. Anyway, there are still more than ten hours."

Ding Jie was still confused at first, but Qian Qing didn't let him do sales blindly. Instead, she gave him a general analysis.

"When you sell something, you must first think about who you are selling to. We went to the dining car just now because it is full of people who eat, so it is easier to sell. But there is also a problem. We are not allowed to openly promote and sell things on the train. If we go to the dining car to open a bottle of wine for every meal in the future, this will not be counted. There are not many people going to the dining car in the first place, and it is likely that it will be a repeated group of people if we go again. You should think of other ways, and remember to avoid the train crew. No matter how much you sell, I only need to pay the three yuan capital, and the extra money is yours."

Ding Jie thought for a while and nodded. Since his sister said so, he might as well give it a try. If he really couldn't sell it, his sister wouldn't beat him up.

Qian Yu, who was standing by, watched Qian Qing's actions and winked at Huang Sanping who had been sitting there, but Huang Sanping didn't say a word from beginning to end, which made Qian Yu feel very suffocated.

"Sanping, why don't you follow Ding Jie? Give him a favor."

Qian Yu simply made the decision himself. Even though he had come out of the village, he still held on to the old ways of the countryside, calling himself "stable", but in fact he was afraid of trouble.

Huang Sanping was shocked by the thirty yuan and he still hasn't recovered. When he heard his wife wanted to kick him out, he immediately looked embarrassed: "It's not appropriate... I've been in the countryside and don't know these things..."

Ding Jie embraced Huang Sanping and said, "Brother-in-law, I'm from the countryside too. Everyone has to have a first time. Let's give it a try. If it doesn't sell, forget it. Besides, my aunt's sauce is so delicious, how can it not sell well? You come too. I just need someone to help me. We can split the profit in half."

Before Huang Sanping could say anything, he was dragged away by Ding Jie. It was not yet dinner time, and Ding Jie wanted to take this opportunity to test the waters.

Qian Qing was very satisfied with Ding Jie's approach.

She really wanted Huang Sanping to give it a try, as Qian Yu and herself would have to do business separately sooner or later. If her brother-in-law could handle things, her sister would be relieved. But she couldn't give orders to her brother-in-law directly like she did to Ding Jie, so she only mentioned Ding Jie just now.

Qian Yu knew very well what his sister was feeling, so he lowered his head and said, "Qingqing... we really have caused you too much trouble."

Not only do I have to worry about her business capital, I also have to worry about her family's future.

Qian Qing patted her sister. She did this not entirely for her sister, but also to see if her brother-in-law could catch up with her sister as soon as possible. If the couple is out of step, there will be many conflicts sooner or later. What will Qianqian do then?

Qian Yu has come to her senses now. If Huang Sanping still holds on to the old ways of thinking, no matter how much money her sister makes, their relationship will not be able to continue.

While Ding Jie and Huang Sanping were out, Qian Qing became a little curious.

"Sister, why were you and your brother-in-law together at that time?"

She had asked this question to her mother, but she just avoided the question. Qian Qing has been more and more curious over the years, what is the charm of her brother-in-law that attracts her sister to be so devoted to him?
