Chapter 343 Mother is Still the Best
When talking about food, Jiang Xiangnan became more active and blurted out his original plan: "Mom, when I ate mutton before, I was afraid that it would be fishy and smelly like Uncle Qingshan said, but after eating it, I found that it was not fishy at all, and it even had a hint of sweetness;
I thought Uncle Qingshan was wrong, but he said that the mutton in Xingcheng is fishy, so more people prefer pork. Even if they eat mutton, they stir-fry it with chili to remove the smell. The thought of stewing mutton offal is even more unpalatable.
I think the difference between the mutton in Jincheng and Xingcheng might be due to the local weather. Chenzhou is colder than Jincheng, so would the mutton there be more delicious? I'm going there with the intention of trying all kinds of mutton!
Mom, what do you think about my mutton business? People in Jincheng also love to eat mutton! "
He originally didn't dare to tell his mother about this, for fear that her would say that he was only thinking about eating and drinking, and that he would never achieve anything great if he didn't work hard.
But his mother not only didn't think that his love of delicious food was wrong or bad, she also took the trouble to help him imagine his future path. He suddenly wanted to express his thoughts.
Shen Qing listened carefully, nodded in agreement, and then guided: "Jincheng likes to eat mutton because it is cold in winter, but there are few wealthy people in Jincheng after all, so the amount they can buy is limited;
It takes five or six days to get from here to Chenzhou, and about twelve days to get to the capital. If we go straight from Chenzhou to the capital, it will probably take about half a month. Why not send it directly to the capital? There are countless dignitaries and royal relatives there, so there must be a market for good mutton."
Jiang Xiangnan didn't expect his mother to say such a big thing as soon as she arrived!
The capital, that’s the capital!
Can he sell mutton at the foot of the emperor's feet, where he lives?
He originally just wanted the fourth brother to transport leather materials back from Chenzhou, and he used his own village fleet to transport a dozen or dozens of sheep, just to make some small money, but his mother was thinking directly of the capital!
He, he doesn’t dare to think about it...how can he think about it?
Jiang Xiangbei's first thought was: "Mom, is there no one in the capital doing mutton business?"
What they can think of, others must have thought of as well. Moreover, the capital is full of nobles, and the winter is extremely cold. Mutton is the most nutritious food for winter, so how could the nobles miss it?
The hardest thing to do is to earn money from the poor. Businessmen love to earn money from the rich and will definitely not let it go.
Jiang Xiangnan's mind cleared up instantly, but as a foodie, he naturally said from a foodie's perspective: "As long as we make it delicious, that's fine!
If we make it more delicious, wouldn’t it be more popular among people who originally like or even don’t like mutton?”
Jiang Xiangbei: ...I have to say, his third brother was right this time.
How can I make it more delicious?
He looked at his mother in the main seat, wondering if he should be the villain himself. But his third brother finally had something interesting to do. If he got frustrated, would he be discouraged?
Otherwise, he should just work hard to distribute the goods. The more partners he finds, the more goods he can sell. If he earns more, even if the third brother's mutton business loses money, it doesn't matter, he can make up for it...
Shen Qing: ...Finally, we’re talking about how to cook mutton.
She didn't show it on her face, but only said with concern: "Okay, you guys bring back a few more this time, and we can try making different kinds of them at home to see which one tastes good. When we all like it and have saved enough money to open a shop, we can go to the capital to find a store to open.
This time when you go to Chenzhou, you can find out the price and supply of mutton. Next time you should go to the capital, and when you get there, you can explore the market there."
She said she would come back and try making it, but she had in mind the Old Beijing Hot Pot - a delicacy that has been popular in the local area for a long time must have its reasons.
What’s more, you don’t need to hire a chef to make mutton hotpot. You only need a kitchen assistant with good ingredients and good knife skills, which obviously reduces the difficulty for a novice to open a restaurant.
If the business becomes popular, there will definitely be imitations, so the secret recipe must be in the dipping sauce. It is a dipping sauce with an exclusive formula. It is not necessary to keep everyone, as long as most people can keep it.
The market in Beijing is huge, and it is impossible for her family to monopolize it. She also has no intention of dominating the market alone. She hopes that all companies will flourish and drive the market. The greater the demand, the better it will be for Shenzhou and the lower-class shepherds further north.
This dynasty had no shortage of hardworking people, nor was it that they didn't work hard. Sometimes it was simply that there were no sales channels, no place to sell, or no way to sell. Even the best crops and livestock couldn't be exchanged for money, and the family's food, clothes, coarse salt and other necessities of life were nowhere to be found...
She earns her own share of money, and if she can also benefit the lower-class people in the bitter cold land while making money, she thinks it’s great!
Jiang Xiangbei didn't expect that his mother didn't say a single discouraging word, but instead actively participated and helped to find a solution!
Mom is still the best.
He became excited and said enthusiastically, "Yes, Third Brother, when we go to the capital, stay for two more days. I will accompany you to inquire about shop rentals and how to eat mutton in the capital."
Jiang Xiangnan just felt like he was walking on clouds, which was unreal.
He just mentioned cooking, how come mother and fourth brother have already thought of the shop rent and other things for him?
No, he had to keep up with them and not let them worry about him. Everyone in the family had their own things to do, and he couldn't help them. He could only do his own thing to relieve them of their worries...

A team of sixty people gathered at the entrance of the village, and together with the donkey carts, the team meandered to the foot of the mountain.
Xie Qingshan ran around arranging the order of each man in the team, and Mr. Jiang Er also followed the staff's instructions.
The people in the village didn't understand, but they were very respectful and had no objections at all.
Even if his family members were assigned to the end of the team, it wouldn't matter - everyone knew that the front and rear were the most dangerous, but Xie Qingshan himself was leading the charge. He set an example, so what else could be said?
The crowd waited quietly for Xie Qingshan to make arrangements before stepping forward to instruct the men who were going out.
Zhao Mingyue worriedly warned, "Prepare plenty of food, don't be stingy, and eat your fill every meal. Even if it's not as good as at home, you still have to fill your stomach, okay?"
Jiang Dabo's eyes widened in disbelief as he replied, "Mom, what are you talking about? Even the food at home might not be as delicious as this!"
I happened to buy a lot of fresh pork, made green onion pork buns, and fried green onion meat patties. I only mixed in a little bit of corn flour, mostly white flour. How could I eat this kind of food at home?
Besides, "I'm not stupid. How can I not fill my stomach when I'm hungry? I've been fleeing all the way here. I don't have anything else, but I have a lot of experience in eating, drinking and sleeping in the wild!"
Mother, have you forgotten the hardship and suffering you endured after just a few days of peace and tranquility?
Zhao Mingyue:...Okay, you can go away now!
She must have been kicked in the brain by a donkey to say these things to her stupid son who also had his brain kicked by a donkey. He doesn't deserve to hear any kind words!
