Chapter 300: Everyone must have an ideal and a goal, just in case it comes true.
Ran Qingxuan signaled Gu Yanchen and Bu Wei beside him to get ready, then took out a pair of chopsticks from the cloth bag and wiped them.
"You'll know if you try it!" Then he picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and handed it to the man in front of him who looked suspicious.
Seeing that he didn't take it, Ran Qingxuan smiled and said to the crowd: "Everyone can come and try it. It's made with our unique craftsmanship. I guarantee that everyone will want to eat more!"
Shopkeeper Tu of the fur shop knew the smell. Seeing that the man in front of him was not trying it and was blocking his way, he pushed the man away and impatiently moved closer to Ran Qingxuan.
"Girl, it's his business if he doesn't buy it, I'll buy it, I'll buy it!"
Ran Qingxuan picked up another packet of cumin flavor with chopsticks and handed it over: "The packet I just gave to the shopkeeper was spicy, this is cumin flavor, try it first and decide which flavor you want to buy."
Shopkeeper Tu wiped his hands and took it. In front of everyone's surprised eyes, he put one of the wolf meat jerky into his mouth. He even showed an intoxicated expression while chewing. It suddenly seemed that he was eating like crazy.
"Delicious, delicious, both flavors are amazing, how do you sell them?"
Ran Qingxuan pointed at the oil paper bags and explained, "The price of spicy and cumin is one tael of silver per bag. Each bag has two kilograms of wolf meat, and buy two get one free. You can choose the flavor you want!"
"What, did I hear that correctly?"
"Wolf meat is so expensive. I only get 20 coins for a pound of fresh pork. Even the government sells injured or dead beef for only 400 to 500 coins a pound. How dare you, a little girl, sell worthless wolf meat for only one or two taels of silver?"
There was constant sneer from all around, and everyone accused Ran Qingxuan of asking for too much at such a young age.
Even Bu Wei, who had no prior knowledge of the situation, was shocked. The price was set at one or two taels of silver per bag. How was that any different from robbery?
Unexpectedly, Ran Qingxuan was not panicked at all, and explained everything in an orderly manner.
"Please be patient, this wolf meat is not expensive, but it is valuable because of its taste. A pack of two kilograms of dried wolf meat requires about three kilograms of fresh wolf meat to stir-fry.
And you can do the math, one bag weighs two kilograms, which comes out to five hundred coins per kilogram. I plan to buy two bags and get one bag free, which only costs three hundred coins per kilogram.
Sitong City is so prosperous that a plate of side dishes in any restaurant would cost four or five hundred coins. Judging from the taste of this wolf meat jerky, I believe everyone will know it is worth it after trying it! β
When the onlookers heard this, they suddenly felt that three hundred coins per catty didn't seem that expensive.
"Can I have a taste first?"
Someone was curious and came up to look at the spicy wolf meat jerky wrapped in chili peppers and asked tentatively.
"Sure, you can try both flavors. If you don't like them, you don't have to buy them!"
βIs it okay to just taste it but not buy it?β When the onlookers heard about such a good thing, they immediately came to the cart.
"Girl, can you give me a taste of something less spicy?"
"Can!"
Ran Qingxuan looked cold, but when she smiled she gave people a friendly and gentle look. The onlookers were infected by her smile and their tone and attitude became much better.
When the butcher in the fur shop saw more people gathered around, he became anxious and pointed at the wolf meat and said quickly, "I want ten packs of each, quick!"
His eager attitude caused laughter, but soon those who were teasing him from the outside stopped laughing.
"Give me four packs..."
"I want two packs... No, give me six packs..."
"I came here first, give me first..."
Those who wanted to buy had just tasted the food, and the scene was a bit chaotic for a while. Ran Qingxuan quickly signaled Bu Wei to come out and calm the situation.
"Everyone, don't worry. There is a lot of wolf meat here. Everyone will get a portion."
When the people who were pushing forward with their money saw that Bu Wei was wearing official uniform, they stopped pushing forward, but the circle in front of the cart was still noisy.
"Everyone, payment is over here!"
As soon as Ran Qingxuan finished speaking, Shopkeeper Tu had already handed over twenty taels of silver: "Ten packs of spicy food, ten packs of non-spicy food, and half of each of the ten packs!"
Gu Yanchen quickly counted out thirty packages and was worrying about how to give them to him when he saw Shopkeeper Tu lift up the hem of his cotton robe and motioned for Gu Yanchen to put them all in.
The templates were ready, and everyone immediately knew how to buy them. Seeing this, the people behind quickly reached out to Ran Qingxuan, fearing that they would be preempted by others if they were a step late.
"I want four packs, all spicy, and the free ones must be non-spicy!"
Before the man who had paid walked up to Gu Yanchen, he had already taken the money and handed it over.
Later, even Bu Wei joined in. He and Gu Yanchen counted one kind each. After only half an hour, more than a thousand kilograms of wolf meat jerky on the cart were snatched away.
"Are there any more girls?"
The people who came here had heard about it from other people, but when they hurried over they saw only an empty cart.
"I'm sorry, everyone is late. We've sold out all the wolf jerky!"
"Oh, I just tasted it, it was so delicious."
At this time, someone still did not give up and asked with a smile: "Young lady, when will you have this wolf meat jerky again? Will you still sell it in Sitong City?"
"I'm sorry, we were just passing by today, I'm afraid we won't see you again..."
At this point, Ran Qingxuan suddenly thought of something, and then gestured to everyone, "But my family will open a restaurant in Yunling County in the future, and maybe one day we will open a small shop in Sitong City. When the time comes, everyone will come to show their favor. The food will definitely be no worse than the wolf meat jerky we had today!"
After hearing this, many people turned away in disappointment, and some even murmured to those around them as they left.
"Yunling County is still a month or two away from us. How long will it take to get there?"
"This young lady is really good at making fun of us..."
The people around left with disappointment on their faces, but Gu Yanchen felt a little strange when he heard Ran Qingxuan say that.
"Opening a restaurant?"
A few people packed up the things on the cart and walked back. Bu Wei was calculating how much money he had earned and didn't pay any attention to the conversation between the couple.
Ran Qingxuan and Gu Yanchen walked side by side at the end, and nodded affirmatively when they heard this.
"I've thought about it. We can't just sit back and enjoy the food we have, or live on what we have now. We should think about our future life."
Gu Yanchen also knew that the things in her space were so numerous that her family could not finish them in several lifetimes, but how could the Gu family be willing to let their young daughter-in-law support them for the rest of their lives? If they told others about it, they would be criticized.
"Sister-in-law is a good cook. When the time comes, we will open a restaurant in Yunling County and let her be the chef and the shopkeeper. When the restaurant becomes big and strong, we will open branches and open them in every place in Northern Qi. How do you think?"
Gu Yanchen showed a doting smile and said yes.
It was just that his attitude was a little perfunctory, and Ran Qingxuan's face immediately fell, and he said coquettishly: "You don't believe me?"
"I believe you, I believe you can do it. But it's impossible for my second sister-in-law to travel all over Northern Qi to be a chef or a shopkeeper, right?"
"Hehe, then you don't have to worry. Everything depends on human effort. People always have to have an ideal and a goal. What if they come true?"
Gu Yanchen was slightly stunned, and repeatedly thought about what Ran Qingxuan had just said.
If you are not brave enough, how can you know that you can't succeed?
