"Of course you can." He Jinshu said readily.
"By the way, don't you still have the recipe for stir-fried soybean paste and chili oil? How about selling it to me at a discount?" Shopkeeper Qian discussed with He Jinshu.
He finally realized that even though Brother Zhen was so powerful, the one who was in charge was still this young scholar, so he simply discussed it with He Jinshu.
He Jinshu shook his head and said, "We will all make these in a unified way in the future, so the formula cannot be sold, but I can give Shopkeeper Qian a lower price, lower than the market price we set."
This time, Shopkeeper Qian really had a new understanding of He Jinshu's ambition. He couldn't imagine what the situation would be like if so many seasonings were to be sold.
He was now somewhat thankful that he had known Chen Chen for a long time and had a good relationship with him, which was why he had so many conveniences.
So, Shopkeeper Qian said without hesitation, "Okay, then can you make a batch first and sell it to me? The restaurant is preparing to launch a new dish in the next few days, and we will use it then."
He Jinshu looked at Chen Chen when he heard this, and then said, "Brother Chen, when are you going to do it?"
"Let's do it tomorrow. I'll have my servants deliver a batch to Uncle Qian personally. But next time you buy something, Uncle Qian will need someone to pick it up." Chen Chen said.
Shopkeeper Qian naturally had no objection.
After chatting for a few more words, Manager Qian went to Village Chief Wu's house, signed the order contract, then took a large jar of fermented black bean sauce that Chen Zhen had given him and returned to the town.
The next day at noon, Chen Chen prepared the two sauces and asked his servants to deliver them to the town.
In the afternoon, Dr. Xue came to the house again to treat Grandpa He.
This was the last time that Doctor Xue gave acupuncture to Grandpa He. Because Grandpa He's legs could now swing freely, further acupuncture would not have any effect. He just needed to practice walking slowly later.
After the acupuncture was completed, Dr. Xue found Horgan Shu and asked him if he could sell this treatment method to him and he would pay Horgan Shu.
Doctor Xue watched Grandpa He's legs getting better day by day. He had gone from being skeptical to being convinced. He felt that such a good treatment method should not be buried, so he wanted to buy it from He Jinshu so that he could treat more people in the future.
He Jinshu shook his head and said, "No, Doctor Xue, you can use it. But I have to tell you in advance that this treatment method may not be suitable for everyone, and I can't guarantee whether it will be effective for others, so don't hold too high hopes when using it."
"Okay, let me first thank Mr. He here. Mr. He is so righteous." Doctor Xue said as he bowed to He Jinshu.
Upon seeing this, He Jinshu quickly helped the man up, then handed the purse in his hand to Doctor Xue and said, "This is Doctor Xue's consultation fee for more than a month. Please keep it."
Doctor Xue declined upon seeing this, saying, "Since Mr. He has given me the prescription for free, I naturally cannot accept his consultation fee."
"Let's put things one way or the other. If it gets out one day that I hired someone for medical treatment but didn't pay, it would be bad for my reputation, so you'd better accept it," said He Jinshu.
Having said that, Doctor Xue had no choice but to accept the money. After thanking He Jinshu again, he left the He family.
Two days later, He Jinshu's first batch of earthworm manure was completed, but because the number of earthworms was relatively small, this batch of earthworm manure was only enough for one acre of land.
So He Jinshu and Shen Zhen returned to Shenjia Village with earthworm manure and some pickled preserved eggs. They planned to let Old Man Shen try out the effect on one acre of land first, and then use it on other fields when the earthworm manure was produced in large quantities next year.
When Mr. Shen knew their purpose, he readily agreed and directly used the earthworm manure in the rice fields.
Old Man Shen and his men went to work in the fields, and He Jinshu went with them to see them, while Shen Chen stayed at the Shen family.
Chen Zhen looked at Tang Qiao and asked him, "Second brother-in-law, when will you recover from this illness?"
"The doctor said that it will be almost healed after a few more days of treatment." Tang Qiao touched his abdomen and said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Chen Chen asked curiously, "How do you feel now? Does it hurt to be treated for your illness?"
"It doesn't hurt." Tang Qiao said.
Mother Shen heard this and said jokingly: “You will know what it feels like when you get sick.”
Chen Zhen nodded after hearing this, but they had been married for so long, and it seemed that he had not made any move. Now he and A Shu had already started to take defensive measures. It seemed that if they wanted to adopt a child, they would have to wait until A Shu passed the exam.
After talking about this, Shen Zhen said to Shen's mother: "Mom, we will hold a housewarming party the day after tomorrow. Remember to tell your uncle and the others to come over for dinner."
"Okay, I understand." Mother Shen said, and then asked: "Have you informed your grandparents?"
"I asked the servants to notify everyone today, and Aunt Wang also told her." Chen Chen said.
Seeing that he had already informed everyone, Mother Shen didn't say anything else.
Chen Chen didn't stay at the Shen family for long. After having lunch, he went straight back to Wujia Village.
After returning home, Chen Chen began to instruct the servants to prepare for the banquet the day after tomorrow.
Meat can be ordered in advance and picked up in town on the same day.
After discussing it with He Jinshu, they only had eight tables for the banquet, inviting only their close relatives.
Wujia Village only invited the village chief and several elders, plus Foreman Liu and Manager Qian, so the number of people was just right at 8 tables.
There were so many people coming that they had to go to town to buy some seasonings for the family. They didn't need the tables and chairs, as Chen Zhen had asked someone to make some folding tables and chairs and put them in the warehouse. Together with the tables and chairs they usually used at home, it was just enough.
As for the bowls and chopsticks, Shen's mother and the others may need to borrow some from Shenjia Village and bring them over.
After arranging these things, Chen Zhen began to determine the menu.
In the study, Chen Chen asked He Jinshu, "Ah Shu, how about we serve eight dishes? 888, fortune, fortune, the meaning is pretty good."
He Jinshu said, "Okay, then 8 dishes."
"Then I'll tell you and you take note." Chen Chen said.
We have everything we need at home now, so it’s very easy to make eight dishes.
He Jinshu dipped his brush in ink and said, "Go ahead."
"Braised pork elbow, preserved egg in cold salad, braised fish with fermented black beans, cold shredded chicken, stir-fried vegetables, scrambled eggs with wild leeks, crispy duck, and a bowl of pork tripe soup."
"What is pig stomach?" He Jinshu asked as he wrote.
Because the weather is hot, Chen Zhen rarely makes soup, and even if he does, it is always a very simple soup. He Jinshu has never tasted this pig stomach soup.
