Chapter 218: Can’t Do More
Come to think of it, she hadn't considered this issue before, and she seemed to be trying to avoid it.
"Aunt, I came here to discuss something with you. You know I have a seasoning recipe. I thought about it on the way here. We can make some money from it. But you know, we have a special status, so we can't do this openly. I just want to ask for your advice."
Shen Qingqian had just been planning to put this matter on hold, but seeing how worried Wu was, she decided to bring it up first.
Wu was stunned when she heard this, but her frown soon relaxed. "It has to be our sister Qian. It's amazing that you thought of this so early."
Shen Qingqian smiled slightly and said nothing.
Mrs. Wu paused and said, "I definitely can't sell the house directly. That would be killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, which is not cost-effective. So I can only sell the seasoning."
After pondering for a moment, she looked at Shen Qingqian and asked, "Are the ingredients needed for your recipe hard to find? Or are there any precious ingredients?"
"It's not hard to find. There are two expensive ones, but I've picked them on the road before and can still make some. I can sell them in small portions first and then buy more expensive ingredients after I make some money."
Shen Qingqian didn't say what specific materials were needed because she didn't know either.
And if they want to make this thing, they have to find a way to let her do it alone, otherwise if the smell is different from the all-purpose seasoning they have seen, she will have to find a way to explain it.
Mrs. Wu lowered her eyes and thought for a long time, then looked up at Shen Qingqian, "Your seasoning is indeed very useful, and the selling price cannot be too low, but we can't make too much of it. At most, make three or five portions each time, so as not to make people jealous."
In her opinion, Shen Qingqian's seasonings would definitely be sold at a high price, but because of their special status, they couldn't sell them too high. Even so, the quantity couldn't be too large, otherwise if someone with no conscience reported their family, it would be better for the whole family to continue dragging it out and wait until next year's harvest.
After hearing this, Shen Qingqian was more than happy to do so. If she did less, she wouldn't need help from others.
"Okay, I'll listen to my aunt." Shen Qingqian said with a smile.
Mrs. Wu patted her hands and said, "Tell your brothers everything you want to do. You can let them find the materials. As for making..." Mrs. Wu paused, still smiling, "This recipe belongs to your third room. Let your mother and Brother Zhe help you."
As long as it didn't involve the secrets of the system, Shen Qingqian actually didn't think about hiding it from her family, but Wu was so transparent that she couldn't help but say, "What are you saying, aunt? We haven't split up yet, so how can we divide each other like this?"
"You don't have to be so particular about other things, but you still need to pay attention to things like this involving the recipe." Mrs. Wu smiled frankly.
Shen Qingqian didn't have the recipe in her hand, so of course she couldn't insist at this moment. She could only say apologetically, "I thank my aunt on behalf of my mother and Zhe'er."
Mrs. Wu didn't say much on this issue and quickly changed the subject.
The two of them talked a few more words about how to sell the seasonings, and then Mrs. Wu asked Shen Qingqian to go back first.
Seeing that Wu was no longer depressed, Shen Qingqian left without hesitation.
As soon as she left, Wu's face showed a trace of envy, "Third brother really gave birth to a good daughter!"
Although she gave birth to two sons and three daughters, her two sons were only of above-average ability. If her parents-in-law were still alive, they would probably have a place in the court in the future.
Let alone the three daughters. The eldest daughter was spoiled and selfish; the second daughter was clear-headed, but she happened to meet a family of in-laws like the Li family, and was divorced and sent home just before exile; I don’t know whose temperament the third daughter inherited, she was indecisive and had no ideas of her own, and the marriage that was arranged before was also cancelled before exile.
The two sons and two daughters of the second wife seem to be just ordinary at present. On the contrary, the third wife, who was not very prominent in the past, has a son and a daughter who have both been praised by their father-in-law.
