A few days later, Wujia Village welcomed a few strangers. After asking, the villagers found out that they came to buy vinegar, so they quickly notified the village chief Wu.
After exchanging greetings with these people, Village Chief Wu realized that they were the managers of a restaurant in the next town, who were in charge of purchasing.
Li Mo and his friends first went to the next town. He followed the method that Chen Chen had taught him beforehand and first found a restaurant that told storytelling stories. Then he found the owner of the restaurant. He didn't say anything and just cooked a few dishes with vinegar for the people. After the people were satisfied with the food, he brought up the matter of the storytelling script.
After eating the dishes, the restaurant owner was naturally amazed. He didn't expect that the food made from this vinegar would be so delicious. He immediately agreed to Li Mo's request and helped him for free. He only hoped that he could sell all the vinegar they brought to their restaurant.
Li Mo naturally wouldn't sell all of them to him. He didn't bring much goods with him this time, and he had to promote the products in several other villages, so he only sold one can to the restaurant, and asked him to pick up the rest according to the production address on the can.
Seeing this, the restaurant owner didn't want to force it anymore, so he bought this jar first and planned to see how the rest of the dishes sold before considering buying more.
After the storyteller finished telling the story, the shopkeeper looked at the reactions of his people and made a quick decision to use the jar of vinegar to do business while arranging people to go to Wujia Village to buy vinegar.
In addition to promoting vinegar, Li Mo also promoted several of his own seasonings and gave away a recipe for century egg and lean meat porridge for free.
As for other seasonings, Chen Chen told Li Mo some dish names and asked him to report them directly to the restaurant owner. As for the cooking methods, he let the restaurant staff figure it out themselves.
Li Mo once asked Chen Zhen, "If they can't figure it out, then won't the sales of our seasoning be optimistic?"
"Brother Mo, don't worry too much," Chen Chen said nonchalantly, "If they really can't do it, then I'll open a restaurant and make everything for them."
After that, he continued, "Besides, even if we don't make these dishes, we don't have to worry about sales. These seasonings are basic seasonings needed for daily cooking. We don't have to worry about restaurants not buying them. The most important thing now is to spread the word and let them know that we are selling these things. After that, we can just sit back and wait to collect the money."
So when the shopkeeper asked Li Mo if he had the recipes for these dishes and they could buy them with money, Li Mo directly answered no and told the shopkeeper to research it himself based on the names of the dishes. After all, whoever figures it out first will make more profit.
After staying in this town for two days and visiting two restaurants, Li Mo took his men to the next town.
In the days after they left, as the storybook spread widely, the phrase "Are you jealous?" became almost the most private conversation between couples, husbands, and even admirers.
In addition to emotional discussions, people also want to taste the delicious food made with vinegar themselves.
The owner of the first restaurant that Li Mo visited, seeing the enthusiastic response from the people, took the lead in introducing sour and spicy cold dishes. This action also attracted people to rush to buy them. From then on, Wujiacun aged vinegar became officially famous in this town.
The people who came to Wujia Village today, after buying vinegar from Village Chief Wu, asked, "Village Chief Wu, I heard you also sell preserved eggs, fermented black beans, sesame oil and other condiments, right?"
Village Chief Wu nodded and said, "These seasonings are sold in our village, but not with me. They are at He Xiucai's house. I can take you there to buy them."
"Okay, then I'll have to trouble Village Chief Wu." Several shopkeepers said politely.
On the way to He Jinshu's house, a shopkeeper asked, "Village Chief Wu, did you build this road in your village yourselves?"
"Yes," said Village Chief Wu proudly. "It was Mr. He who provided us with the method. We villagers, together with the Shenjia Village, spent a month to repair this road. How is it? It should be smooth sailing when you come here, right?"
"This road is well built, it's so smooth," the shopkeeper exclaimed. "If all the roads in Linshe County were like this, we'd be able to travel much faster, and riding in a carriage wouldn't be so uncomfortable."
Village Chief Wu smiled and said, "Building a road like this wouldn't be difficult. Besides the labor, the only expense would be the lime. If you're interested, I can teach you how to build one. You can consider building one yourself when you return home."
"Is it really not a hassle?" asked a shopkeeper.
"As a village chief, I wouldn't dare to deceive you shopkeepers," Village Chief Wu said with a smile, "Mr. He said that building roads is good for the country and the people. If any village wants to build a road, they can come to him or me to ask for the plan.
He also said that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. If several shopkeepers need to come to pick up goods frequently, you can discuss with your boss to build a road. This will not only make it easier for you to make money, but also save a lot of cost and time.
Moreover, our Mr. He also said that if you feel that it is too disadvantageous for one family to build the road, you can unite the wealthy families in the town to donate money and materials. When the road is built, you can erect a monument at the intersection with the names of the donors written on it, so that passers-by can see their names and understand their contributions.
Or whoever donated money to build a road could have that road named after him. This would be a great opportunity to make a name for yourself. Shopkeepers, go back and discuss this with your bosses."
After hearing this, several shopkeepers looked at each other, and then one of them bowed and said to Village Chief Wu: "This Mr. He is really wise."
Village Chief Wu was delighted when he heard this and said, "Who says it's not true? This is the first scholar in Wujia Village in decades or even hundreds of years."
While everyone was chatting, they also came to He Jinshu's house.
In the yard, Chen Zhen was sitting on a chair, watching Grandma He make clothes and chatting with her. After hearing the knock on the door, he slowly got up and opened the door.
Grandma He knew Chen Zhen's character, so she didn't say she would open the door and let him go.
After opening the door, Chen Chen saw Village Chief Wu, followed by several strangers.
After some introduction, Chen Zhen realized that these people were here to buy those seasonings.
Chen Zhen first invited the person into the yard, and then asked Lin Liu to bring tea.
He Jinshu also came out of the study at this time, greeted a few people, and then chatted for a while before getting straight to the point.
After both parties signed the purchase contract, He Jinshu asked Lin Liu to take people to the workshop to tell Grandpa He to get the goods for them.
