After listening to Chen Chen's words, He Jinshu said, "The character of the people in Wujia Village is indeed not good, but half of the reason is because they are poor. Since I came here, the village has always been at the bottom of the list in everything we do every year, and we are often ridiculed by other villages.
As a result, the villagers developed a habit of taking advantage of others. Since they couldn't find a good way to make money, they were easily envious of those who could make money, and this often led to arguments with others.
Chen Chen nodded and said, "Indeed, in the past, people in our village hated people in your village. Not only was your village poor, but you also always felt that "I am poor so I am right" because a lot of our village's land is adjacent to yours.
The people in your village often try all sorts of ways to take advantage of the land. Many people in our village don't look happy when they mention the people in your village."
After hearing what Chen Chen said, He Jinshu didn't know what he was thinking about. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "People in our village will definitely not be able to take advantage of you."
"Of course," Chen Chen said proudly, raising his chin slightly, "If anyone dares to take advantage of me, I will definitely beat him down."
Looking at his smug expression, He Jinshu couldn't help but stand up and kiss him across the table.
Chen Chen hugged He Jinshu's neck and gave him a long kiss.
After a kiss, He Jinshu sat back in his chair and said to Chen Chen, "Although the villagers' character is not very good, the village chief is quite good. When my grandparents and I first came here, he helped us a lot. Why don't we give a prescription to help Village Chief Wu?"
"Okay." Chen Chen nodded and said, "Then let Village Chief Wu take care of the method of making aged vinegar. Aged vinegar is made from millet and doesn't cost much, but it does take some time.
And after the vinegar is made, I can make you some hot and sour dishes."
"Okay." He Jinshu responded.
"However, Ah Shu, we can hand over the method to Village Chief Wu, but our family also needs to get a share. When we were in Shenjia Village, our family's wine-making and vermicelli recipes took 40% of the profit. What percentage of the profit do you think we should get from this vinegar?" Chen Chen asked He Jinshu.
He Jinshu thought for a moment and said, "Then we'll have to wait for 40% profit. What do you think?"
"Okay." Chen Zhen said, "Then I'll read you the prescription. Can you write it down in traditional Chinese characters for me?"
He Jinshu naturally had no objection, so he picked up his pen and began to write down the vinegar recipe that Chen Zhen had mentioned.
After they had settled the matter, the two continued to read their own books until after midnight, when they left the library and went to bed.
After breakfast the next day, He Jinshu and Shen Zhen went to see Village Chief Wu and told him about the vinegar recipe.
Village Chief Wu was puzzled when he heard this: "Vinegar? What is that?"
"It's a sour seasoning used in cooking." Chen Chen explained.
"I've never heard of this kind of seasoning before. Will it sell well?" the village chief asked hesitantly.
Although he really wanted to make money, he had never heard of vinegar. What if it didn't sell well?
Chen Zhen also understood Village Chief Wu's concerns, so he said to him, "Village Chief, don't worry, this vinegar will definitely be sold. Wujia Village is so poor anyway, don't you want to give it a try?"
"Besides, even if it doesn't sell, it's just a waste of time and food. If you're really worried, you can try making a batch and selling it first. If it doesn't sell, you can sell the whole batch to me. Then you won't have to make this in the future. How about that?"
After hearing what Chen Chen said, Village Chief Wu said without hesitation: "Okay, I'll do it. We're already so poor anyway, so why not give it a try."
"That's right." Chen Chen said with a smile, "If you brew this vinegar well, you won't have to worry about sales in the future, and Wujia Village's hard times will soon be over."
After that, he continued, "However, Village Chief, our family provides the recipe to the village, but we also want 40% of the profit, and you can't give this recipe to others in the future. If you violate the principle, you will have to pay us 3,000 taels of silver.
Would you like to discuss this matter with the village elders? If you all agree, we will need to find time to write a contract."
When Village Chief Wu heard the 3,000 taels of silver, he was shocked and stammered, "3, 3,000 taels of silver?"
"Yes," Chen Zhen nodded and said, "If you pass on the recipe, you will have to pay us this much silver, but don't worry, once this vinegar is made, I guarantee that you will make money in the future, and the money you make will definitely not be small.
Of course, if you don't leak the recipe, you won't have to pay compensation, so when you hire someone, you must write a contract with them to prevent them from leaking the recipe."
After hearing this, Village Chief Wu was silent for a while, then said, "Well, let me discuss this with a few elders this afternoon and give you an answer then."
"Okay," Chen Chen nodded and said, "Then Ah Shu and I will go back first. If we are not at home in the afternoon, you can tell Li Mo about this."
"Okay." Village Chief Wu nodded and said with a smile.
Afterwards, He Jinshu and Shen Zhen went home together.
Perhaps they were anxious to make a career, so Chen Chen and He Jinshu were invited over by Village Chief Wu just after they finished lunch.
When they arrived at the village chief's house, several village elders were there. They had all heard what Village Chief Wu said about this matter. They had never heard of vinegar and were all skeptical about this matter.
