Chapter 339 Ginseng or Radish
When Ye Qian and her classmates returned to school, spring had already arrived. When the crew was about to finish filming, everyone had taken off their cotton-padded jackets and put on small coats.
A batch of new samples from Beijing were also sent over. I had been wearing them too well on the set before, so it was not very convenient, so I just wore whatever was comfortable. Now that I’m in school, I’m not so particular, so I just wear whatever looks good.
Last winter, Malatang was once again a craze, and now that the weather is getting hotter, it's obviously not appropriate to continue making Malatang. The first thing I did after returning to school was to think about changing up the recipe.
Most of the ingredients for the double-skin milk powder and jelly in the space had already been cleared out, and Ye Qian only kept a portion for herself. Obviously, it would be inappropriate to make this again.
After a week of headache, Ye Qian finally thought of what to sell at the stall in the evening.
That's right, it's cold pot skewers. The food is cooked in advance, and students can choose their own food before they all add the sauce and pay. Ye Qian loved this dish in her later life, especially in the summer. She would go with classmates or colleagues to eat cold pot skewers, paired with cold drinks. The taste was so delicious.
Moreover, the seasonings are very simple and easy to make, which makes them the best choice for night market. Pairing them with some small drinks can bring in another source of income.
Ye Qian did what she said. After class in the afternoon, she went straight to the kitchen, found a small pot, and started making the seasoning. She even sprinkled more sesame seeds on it, boiled the vegetables in bone broth, and then mixed it with the seasoning. She handed it to everyone and started eating.
"Well, this tastes so good. It looks spicy, but it actually tastes so delicious," said Chen Yuan.
"Yes, this is so delicious. I was worried that the spicy hot pot would be too hot in hot weather. What should I do? This is great and suitable for drinking." Zhang Yunyun said.
"Indeed, it's delicious." Wang Qiong also said.
Everyone ate a large bowl of it without hesitation, and the next day the snacks at the night market stalls were directly replaced with cold pot skewers.
Although everyone was longing for Malatang, seeing Chuanchuan for the first time was also a novelty for them. All the dishes were priced the same as Malatang, so if you can afford Malatang, you can definitely afford Chuanchuan. After some people came forward to try it, the long line naturally formed again.
After selling for several days in a row, business has not slowed down. And because they buy a lot of vegetables, the market also provides delivery service, which saves them a lot of time shopping.
Ye Qian looked at the stall in front and said to Wang Qiong beside her, "I want two larger plots of land, but they must be in a good location, preferably not too far from our store. Can we get them?"
Wang Qiong went back to Beijing during the Spring Festival. The stores in Beijing are now mainly managed by Wang Qiong. It is no exaggeration to say that the two clothing stores are making a fortune every day. At the price we set, the daily turnover can reach more than 5,000, and that's not even counting the days when business is particularly good. Sometimes when business is good, it can reach more than 20,000. You can imagine what this means now.
Wang Qiong also heard about the land transfer when she returned home. Although Wang Qiong only mentioned it briefly, Ye Qian took it to heart. However, she was busy filming at the time and couldn't focus on it. Now that the filming is finished, it's the right time to talk about this.
Wang Qiong was a little puzzled. "That land is quite big. Are you sure you want it? My dad said no one has invested in it for a long time."
"Well, I definitely want it, but I want to know if the location is good or not." Beijing was still small at that time, and now was the time to scramble for locations. Naturally, the first and second ring roads would be the main focus. After all, the prices of storefronts or houses in these two areas were high. She could still afford it if she bought it now, but as time went on, these areas would become more expensive. If she didn't buy it now, when would she?
"First, call and ask what the specific location is, then find out the price, and also ask if the land can be demolished and rebuilt." Ye Qian nodded after she finished speaking. "That's all for now."
Wang Qiong looked at the time on her watch. It was 7:34 p.m., so her father should be home. "I'll go get the call now."
"OK."
After Ye Qian finished speaking, Wang Qiong turned around and made a phone call.
She had a reason for wanting the land. Her clothing and braised meat shops had been around for a long time, especially the four in Beijing, making a lot of money. Buying two plots of land was definitely enough. But she wasn't just interested in this area. Since she had the resources and the money, why not try other things?
She was still young, so even if she didn't succeed, with the current momentum, she could start over. Since she had this idea, she naturally had to take action. Another point was her space. The vegetables in her space were growing one after another. Honestly, she was already very lazy, but her space was full. If she didn't consume it quickly, she was really worried about going bankrupt. So she had to find a way to get rid of the vegetables in her space and still make money.
Speaking of the vegetables in the space, Ye Qian hadn't gone in to harvest them in a while. After all, she had a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder. If she didn't harvest the vegetables after planting them, she always felt like something was left undone, but if she did, she had nowhere to put them. So, she hadn't looked at this space in a long time. This reminded her of the ginseng she planted last year.
She hadn't taken care of it during this period, and she didn't know what the ginseng looked like. Ye Qian looked around, and when she saw no one noticed her, she went into the bathroom and then into the space.
Ye Qian walked to the plot of land where the ginseng was planted. On the surface, it looked fine. Ye Qian squatted down and started digging in the ginseng field. As she dug, she felt something was wrong. The ginseng was very large and juicy, like a big white radish. Ye Qian was a little unconvinced, "Could they have made a mistake? They confiscated the radish."
Ye Qian gently brushed off the dirt on the ginseng, then went to the stream to wash it clean. Afterwards, she took it in her hand and looked at it. She was a little unsure whether it was ginseng or a radish. It was so juicy, but with so many hairs on it, it didn't look like a radish.
For a moment, Ye Qian couldn't really tell what was in her hand. Then she thought, since it's already clean, she might as well try it, and took a big bite.
"Oh, it's so bitter." Ye Qian's five parts squeezed together, and she frowned as she bit into the ginseng-like thing that looked like a radish. Ye Qian rinsed her mouth with water from the stream, then went to the next room and got a large bottle of iced black tea. It was sweet and helped to alleviate the bitterness in her mouth.
After drinking a bottle of iced black tea, Ye Qian felt a little better.
Ye Qian carefully examined the ginseng in her hand. It was too big. It was unknown how old this large ginseng was. Ye Qian did not dare to delay and immediately used her mind to collect all the ginseng inside.
