“Hahahaha!” Lin Wanwan’s stomach hurt from his laughter. She covered her stomach and said, “Oh, I’m dying of laughter. Huzi, you’re such a talent! Really! Hahahaha…”
Lin Yusheng also clapped his hands in amazement, "Hahahaha, I, I didn't expect that, Huzi! You are so talented in writing, hahahaha, Master Lin didn't even send you back home, you're amazing!"
Shen Mo also covered his eyes to stifle laughter, shrugging his shoulders, "Shi Tou, why didn't you tell us last year?"
"Hu Zi didn't let me tell you last year. If I had told you, you would have cut off your friendship with me!"
Lin Huzi glared at him angrily: "Then you still said it! Lin Shitou, I will strangle you to death!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Everyone was amused by them and the atmosphere in the second half was very joyful.
It was not until late at night that they finally finished their meal and said they were satisfied. Shen Mo and his friends went back together, and Sister Yuying and her friends also took Ping An home to sleep.
Lin Wanwan closed the door, took out the dishes and washed them with the hot water in the pot.
The five children lined up in a row on the kang, and Lin Wanwan took two quilts for them.
"Have you finished your homework today?"
"It's done! Master Lin added another article today and asked us to memorize it. We have memorized it!"
"Girl, we've all recited to each other!"
"Yes, girl, we have them all memorized!"
"Okay, okay, you all be good, let's review it again tomorrow morning! Okay, go to bed!"
Lin Wanwan returned to the small bed where she had slept for a long time. She slept well all night and was not woken by the cold at night.
After she got up, she made some chicken noodle soup, called Lin Bai and the others, and after breakfast, she went to school.
Lin Wanwan had nothing else to do, so she followed her sister-in-law and the others to the shop to prepare hot pot.
Many people came to buy braised pork today. When it’s cold, you can buy braised pork and stew it for several days.
"Young shopkeeper, why didn't you open the door yesterday?"
"The heavy snow blocked the road yesterday, so we took a day off. Today, we are launching a new dish, hot pot! You came at the right time. We have two kinds of soup bases for hot pot, one is spicy, and the other is pork bone and chicken soup. There are only ten servings of spicy soup per day. Why don't you try one?"
"Spicy? How spicy? Did you put the dogwood in it?"
"There's a little bit of dogwood, but more of it is spicy. You can try it later. How about this? I'm afraid you can't handle spicy food, so I'll give you a double-decker pot with both spicy and chicken soup. Is that okay?"
"Okay, we'll listen to you! Come on!"
"Okay, wait a moment!"
This double-layer copper pot is newly made and was delivered by Manager Zhao a few days ago. If it is made into a double-layer pot, the two have to sit separately. It is more convenient like this and you can cook whatever you want.
"Oh, this soup is so delicious!"
"This red soup is a bit pungent, is this spicy?"
Lin Wanwan asked Zhaocai to come over and explain to them how to cook it and how long it takes to cook it until it is cooked.
"Delicious! Hiss... spicy! So satisfying!"
"It's delicious! This dish is so tasty!"
"Yeah, the more I eat, the more addictive I become!"
"I ate a few bites and started sweating all over!"
The people who came in later heard them all praising the food and asked for some to try. Not surprisingly, they all fell in love with the hotpot.
Unexpectedly, this hotpot became popular throughout the entire county, and other restaurants followed suit. The blacksmith shop owner Zhao and Lin Wanwan made a fortune again.
She had thought that others would follow suit, so there was no need to hide it. It was better to let them all do it than to keep an eye on her every day. She could also make some money from making copper pots.
Moreover, their spicy hotpot is not ready yet. They can only use dogwood, but it is not too spicy after cooking. They can only sell other soup bases. There are few seasonal vegetables and they are not fresh enough. The meat slices are also thick and hard after boiling. These are the areas they need to improve.
So Lin Wanwan was not worried at all.
Fu Junyi has also come here to eat twice, and he increases the spiciness of the food every time. It seems that he can handle spicy food quite well.
They also sent Lin Wanwan their first income. She looked through the accounts and found that the net profit in the past two months had reached 130,000 taels!
"In Beijing, a roast duck sells for more than two taels! How many times more has it increased!"
Fu Junyi smiled and said, "You should change your stewed pork shop into a roast duck shop! Roast duck makes much more money than stewed pork."
"Basically everyone can afford braised pork, but roast duck cannot. If we want to build our reputation in the early stages, we must rely on the reputation of braised pork."
"Yes, that's true. Your stewed pork shop has made me proud in the clan, hahahaha!"
"Didn't your family invite you back for tea?"
After Fu Junyi understood, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Of course I haven't. My father has sent people to urge me several times. It's almost the New Year, so he asked me to pack up and go back."
"Then why don't you go back quickly?"
Fu Junyi glanced at her, picked up the candied dates on the table and threw them into his mouth, saying nonchalantly, "I'm too lazy to go back and deal with them. I'll go back after the first batch of sugar is ready. During the New Year, let them worship me day and night, isn't that good?"
“Pfft, hahahaha! You’re such a bad person…”
Fu Junyi spread his hands and said, "Although I was very angry before, I should thank them now. If it weren't for them, how would I have known Songcai Xiaogu? Hahahaha... They will definitely regret it in the future!"
"That's right. You have to pay me respect more often in the future! Maybe you will be the next imperial merchant!"
"I think it's okay. I'll paint a portrait of you and hang it in my ancestral hall, and worship it every day..."
Lin Wanwan glared at him and said, "Go to hell! Are you cursing me? By the way, the first batch of sugar can produce about 20,000 kilograms. Can you take it all back?"
"No, I'll take 1,000 kilograms back to test the waters and drive up the price, so that they know that white sugar is precious and difficult to make, and it's hard to buy even if you have money. After the New Year, pick a good day and have someone send me another 4,000 kilograms. I won't send anyone or write to you after I go back, so you should be careful."
"Okay, I get it. Should I go with the escort agency? Or should I find someone myself?"
"It's less dangerous to escort people, but it's easy for the news to leak out. If you look for someone, it will be more dangerous on the road, but they can't find them. When you go to the capital, just go to the Yun family candy shop, drop off your things and leave."
"Okay, I get it. Then I'll just find someone myself so the news won't leak out easily."
"Well, it's better to find a few people who know Kung Fu, so we don't have to worry about encountering people trying to intercept us."
"Then I'll look for it carefully."
