Regarding Chen Xian's actions...
The Chen family expressed their incomprehension.
Erzhu: "Didn't Father originally not want to sell the recipe to others? He wanted to keep it so our whole family could do business?"
Chen Xian shook his head and said, "I didn't want to sell the recipe to others in the first place. The manager of Taoranju is too aggressive. Our family is just an ordinary farmer. We might be harassed by someone tomorrow. Rather than that, it's better to transfer the recipe to someone else in advance, let them bear the risk, and we can do some other business."
Dazhu chuckled and said, "I originally thought our family was going to go head-to-head with Taoranju, and we were prepared for a fight."
Chen Xian said calmly, "Having the ability to protect your interests is called confidence; not having the ability to protect your interests is called foolishness."
There is an old saying in the book: "Those who know when to yield are the heroes." This saying is often used by evil people to blaspheme and insult those who are weak. But if we think about it from another perspective, we are just avoiding their sharp edge.
Erzhu sighed softly.
"Dad, is this also called being a coward?"
Chen Xian: "According to you young people, shouldn't we shout, 'Don't underestimate a young man's potential; fortunes change every thirty years.'"
Erzhu was speechless: "Stop talking, Father. That sounds too silly. Really, I thought a young man should take revenge without delay. Thirty years is too long. We might not even know if that shopkeeper will still be alive by then."
Si Niu grinned and counted on her fingers, saying, "Thirty years. I can live until then. If Dad is gone by then, I'll run to his grave and jump around."
Chen Xian: "This child has been filial since he was a child."
Li Niang smiled, pursing her lips.
I really like the current family atmosphere.
The father and son had a harmonious relationship, and the brothers were friendly and respectful. They could discuss things together instead of having one-man rule, scolding, and beating each other.
She quietly watched the man, who was not young.
He was tall with a bluish stubble on his chin. He always had a calm expression when talking to others, but when talking to his family, he would always have a faint smile on his face.
Resolute to outsiders, gentle to family.
His eyes seemed to contain the infinite wisdom of time.
He is really good, very good.
"Father, we've only brought two hundred taels of silver with us, are we just going to go home like this?"
Cuihua was a little worried.
I shouldn't have counted the silver in front of Manager Jiang just now; the waiter's gaze was really strange.
Chen Xian: "According to what Uncle Pancake told us, no matter which restaurant comes up with a new dish, the other restaurant can always replicate it in the shortest amount of time. What does that mean?"
Su Shuangshuang rarely replied, "Could it be that both families have planted spies?"
Chen Xian chuckled.
Based on past patterns.
A price war between two companies usually leads to the bankruptcy of a third or fourth company.
"Everyone, let's brainstorm. If you were the manager of Taoranju Restaurant and you got the recipe for braised pork, what would you do next?"
Dazhu scratched his head.
"Of course, we'll buy pork."
"Um?"
Erzhu's eyes lit up.
"Does Dad mean we should go buy a pig?"
Cuihua smiled too.
“That’s great. If we buy the pig, we can spend some of the money, which will save us from worrying about bringing so much money home with our family.”
Li Niang frowned. "More than two hundred taels? How many pigs do you need to buy?"
It's too small; the scope is too narrow.
In this dynasty, a pig weighs about 150 catties. Based on the price of 20 wen per catty of pork, a pig costs about 3 liang.
If all two hundred taels were used to buy pork.
We can get about sixty pigs.
Dazhu looked somewhat agitated, "Dad, did you really use all this silver to buy pigs? That's..."
Even in the countryside, all of it was used to build large brick and tile houses.
Fifty taels of silver is enough.
Chen Xian also hesitated.
Going all in like that could wipe out your savings overnight.
The Chen family may have no savings at all.
Erzhu responded, "I think buying pigs is also a business. We're here to do legitimate business, not to gamble. Even if we can't use up the pork, we can sell it to others. In a town like ours, it can't be just his two restaurants that need a lot of meat."
The Chen family had never been involved in business before, and no one had ever come up with such a crazy idea.
Chen Xian was caught in a dilemma.
"Let's vote by raising hands. Those who agree to buy the pigs, raise your hands. Those who disagree, we'll just take this money and find a security escort agency to send us back."
Raising your hand is much harder than not raising it.
But then, the entire Chen family raised their hands.
Erzhu: "Feasible."
Dazhu rarely showed such arrogance: "At worst, our whole family can continue selling cold noodles. I'll go to the countryside to sell pork. I refuse to believe we won't be able to sell it."
Chen Xian left but returned.
He now needs a reliable intermediary.
Those who work in vehicles, boats, shops, and even as laborers, should be killed even if they are innocent.
He didn't know anyone in Daxing Town, and he didn't trust the people introduced by the brokers.
They went directly to Manager Jiang.
Manager Jiang was somewhat puzzled.
"Brother Chen, is something the matter?"
Chen Xian chuckled.
"My family is planning to buy some pork. We'd like to see if it's cheaper in town. Could the shopkeeper recommend a reliable pork shop?"
Manager Jiang chuckled, in a good mood.
He originally planned to ask a colleague to help with the introduction.
But then I thought again, the Chen family might make other exquisite dishes in the future, and there might be opportunities for cooperation in the future.
I might as well take them there myself.
We arrived at the butcher shop.
The butcher's surname was Zhou. He was a burly middle-aged man with a fierce face. He saw the shopkeeper and his men coming over.
