"That's from Tianlan Restaurant..."
"Shangdelai Restaurant..."
"Xikelai..."
Eunuch Hai had a very calm expression, but his hands behind his back were trembling slightly. He couldn't believe that someone would actually pay such a high price for one tael of silver per catty.
"Everyone who buys will receive 10 kilograms of coriander."
Remembering the Fourth Prince's instructions, he immediately reminded the people below.
Eunuch Hai thought about it and made some cold cucumber and coriander salad for the buyers to taste.
"Not bad, it's delicious, the guests will definitely like it."
"Is this green vegetable coriander? It tastes quite good and can be used as a side dish with wine. Madam will definitely like it."
"Excuse me, how do you cook this cilantro? Can it only be used to make a cold cucumber salad?"
At this moment, Eunuch Hai admired the Fourth Prince from the bottom of his heart. The buy-one-get-one-free combination immediately attracted people.
"As for cilantro, it can be added to various dishes. It acts as a seasoning. You can go back and try adding it to your soup."
Several of them were in charge of the kitchen, and they understood immediately and decided to go back and try coriander.
The news of the high-priced cucumbers spread quickly, and people came to watch the fun and taste the free cucumbers.
Whenever someone asked about the price of cucumbers, Eunuch Hai would refuse to sell them, but if someone offered a high price, he would still sell them. This was what Situ Xiu had instructed.
The three-day free tasting is intended to make people in Kyoto aware of cucumbers and encourage those who can afford it to go to Shuheso to buy them.
The cucumber yield in Bulma's world is about 15,000 kilograms per acre. It is impossible for Situ Xiu to sell it at retail. He has 200 acres of land planted, and he would be exhausted if he sold it at retail.
.....
Shangdelai Restaurant.
One of the top ten restaurants in Kyoto, it serves fine wines such as Nv'erhong and delicious food. The service is good and the restaurant has a large number of customers every day, including locals from Kyoto and merchants from other cities.
Li Jiao, a logistics businessman in the Great Saint Dynasty, was called a merchant in ancient times, which means traveling merchants and sitting merchants. Those who walked around selling goods were called merchants, and those who lived and sold goods were called merchants.
Simply put, a businessman.
Li Jiao himself does business in cities all over the place. He is a freight forwarder who specializes in buying low and selling high. He will transport the good things from one city to other places to sell them. In modern times, he is a logistics businessman.
Of course, don’t think that being a businessman is easy. In ancient times, there were many robbers. Some merchants were robbed on the way, and either their families were destroyed or they went bankrupt.
Businessmen also have connections with each other. Li Jiao invited several good friends to dinner today, all of whom are businessmen doing big business.
"Sister He, I heard you made two hundred thousand taels of silver in two months. I'm so jealous."
"Well, I did make some money, but you don't know that on the way to transport the silk to Daluo Kingdom, I encountered a group of villains and almost couldn't return. Because of this, I lost a subordinate in the Xiantian realm."
"Hiss! It's so dangerous. I think we should stop making foreign goods and make domestic goods instead."
"You can't say that. Can domestic goods earn 100,000 taels a month?"
"Yeah, it's really hard to make money nowadays. Mr. Yan, how is your ceramic business?"
"Ahem, don't mention it. Business is not good."
There were seven people in the room, five women and two men. Everyone else found what the man called Old Yan said funny. He said that the ceramic business would not lose money no matter how bad it was. He was just afraid that they would come in and take a share of the pie.
"Come on, come on, eat some food. I heard there's a new dish today that's good. It seems to be called cucumber."
"Hey, what's in this cold meat? Is there any green vegetable like this?"
"That's cilantro. I heard it tastes good when mixed with meat."
"coriander?"
When they heard it was a new variety of vegetable, they all picked up some and tasted it. Immediately, everyone's face changed slightly and they looked at the cucumber in disbelief.
"It's delicious, so delicious, how can there be such delicious dishes."
"Although I like to eat meat, this cucumber tastes really good. It tastes great when served cold."
"Yes, it still tastes moist and slightly sweet, retaining its original flavor. It's really good."
"This cilantro is also delicious, absolutely amazing. When did Shangdelai come up with new dishes? I haven't heard of it recently."
After the meal, the seven people became more and more curious about cucumbers and coriander. They would think about cucumbers when chatting. After eating and drinking, they went home.
When Li Jiao was checking out, she was stunned to see that the cucumber cost two taels of silver and was deeply shocked.
It’s not that I can’t afford it, but I’m shocked that vegetables are so expensive.
"Quick, go ask around, cucumbers and cilantro."
Li Jiao left the restaurant and immediately gave orders to her subordinates. As a businesswoman, she smelled a business opportunity and had a hunch that this new variety of dish would be a big hit.
"I hope as few people know about it as possible, but I definitely can't hide it from those six guys. Damn it, I shouldn't have invited them to dinner."
As a businessman, he is selfish and only wants to make a fortune quietly.
At the same time, the other six people sent their men to inquire about the cucumber.
But they didn't know that the cucumber had already spread among ordinary people in Kyoto. One person told two people, two people told four people, and almost everyone knew about it and was talking about it.
