After breakfast, Ke Xin took Su Yan to the town.
The backpack contains not only all-purpose ingredients, but also seasonings and chopped peppers.
Liuji Restaurant
When Fang Yaozu saw Ke Xin coming, he was as happy as if he had seen money. He happily stepped forward and said, "Oh, Miss Jiang, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for so long."
Ke Xin smiled and said, "You're not waiting for me, you're waiting for my seasoning."
His little thought was exposed, Fang Yaozu smiled and said: "It's all, it's all, the main thing is that I miss you."
The people who greeted and saw off guests were good at talking. Ke Xin handed him the can of all-purpose material: "I made more this time, this is ten kilograms."
"This is ten kilograms of seasoning. I'm giving it to you for free. I mean what I say."
Jiang Kexin pointed to the remaining jar and said, "This is five pounds of chopped peppers."
Fang Yaozu saw that these three things weighed several kilograms each and the quantity given was too small. This amount was only enough for their restaurant, but would not be enough for restaurants in counties, prefectures, and the capital.
"Miss Jiang, let's go upstairs to settle the bill and discuss something with you while we're at it."
Ke Xin nodded: "Okay."
Shopkeeper Fang glanced at Su Yan beside Kexin, and seeing that Jiang Kexin had no intention of keeping her, he asked her to go upstairs with him.
In the study
After Manager Fang settled the bill for her, which included thirty taels of ten catties of all-purpose ingredients and twenty-five taels of five catties of chopped peppers, he told her what was going on.
"Miss Jiang, to be honest, the dishes you make with these seasonings taste really good. Our restaurant has been seeing an increase in customers lately, and the sauces and chopped peppers we sent here will only last a few days. We're running out of supply, and our Liuji Restaurant has many branches outside... Take a look and see if you can add more seasoning to this."
"Of course, apart from the profit sharing of dishes every two weeks, things like these sauces are settled on the spot."
Ke Xin understood that they were planning to promote the new dish in other branches of Liuji, but the sauce was a major flaw, so for now, it was only sold in this restaurant in the town.
Ke Xin nodded slightly, expressing her willingness to help. "To be honest with you, Shopkeeper Fang, I also hope to make more money, but the peppers I have right now are too few. But after the New Year, when the production increases, I'll have as many as you want. But before the New Year... it's really impossible."
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Fang also sighed, "That's the only way. Since the all-purpose dipping sauce and chopped peppers require chili peppers, can't we produce more condiments like seasonings?"
"We have this. We can make at least 30 kilograms a day. How much do you want?"
Ke Xin's question stumped Fang Yaozu, and his mind went blank at that moment. If he remembered correctly, some time ago, they delivered one or three kilograms, and at most thirty kilograms a month. How come now that he opened his mouth, he wanted at least thirty kilograms a day?
Fang Yaozu was afraid she had said the wrong amount, so he repeated, "Thirty catties a day? Not three catties?"
His uncertainty made Ke Xin want to laugh. She nodded vigorously: "I am sure and certain."
Afraid he might be suspicious, Ke Xin brought out the most powerful members of her family: "I have eight brothers, two uncles, and my father. They're all grown men. If they each grind three pounds of rice every day, it won't be a problem."
Now that we have time, the two aunts are taking charge. There is nothing else in this house except people who work.
Upon hearing this, Fang Yaozu had to admit defeat and gave her a thumbs up: "What a harmonious family."
Su Yan, who was sitting on the side without saying a word, also agreed with what Shopkeeper Fang said. If they were not harmonious, they would have been fighting for the money and the whole family would have been in chaos. How could they get together to work and chat?
When leaving the restaurant from the back door, the beautiful woman happened to meet Jiang Kexin and Su Yan. She looked at the two girls from their backs for a long time.
The beautiful woman asked Aunt Qiao beside her, "Why does one of these two girls look familiar? Could she be a girl from the Jiang family?"
Aunt Qiao was sweating profusely. Madam must be worried. Everyone she saw looked like a girl from the Jiang family. Glancing at the two people who had left, Aunt Qiao whispered, "Madam, isn't the Jiang family just a girl?"
"If Madam has any doubts, why not go up and ask Fang Yaozu? He definitely knows what Miss Jiang looks like."
The beautiful woman nodded, then helped Aunt Qiao upstairs.
Ke Xin walked out of the alley and looked back. She wasn't sure who those two people were, but the burning gazes staring at her must have come from the eyes of these two women.
Her eyelids twitched, and she pressed her hands against them, silently praying to herself that bad things will not come unless good things do.
Seeing her covering her eyes, Su Yan asked worriedly, "Are your eyes uncomfortable? Why don't we go to the clinic?"
"No, my eyes are fine." Ke Xin let go of her hand and looked up to see the cloth shop. She had bought fabrics for everyone in her family a few days ago, except for Su Yan.
"Come on, I'll take you to buy two sets of clothes."
Su Yan opened her mouth wide: "Ah? I have clothes, you don't have to spend money to buy them for me."
Her clothes were so patchy that even a beggar wouldn't wear them. Not only were there patches upon patches, but the sleeves were also too small, revealing her wrists which had been twisted to the point of being purple and bruised.
Although he was not a wealthy man with a hundred taels of silver, he could at least buy a few sets of clothes for his friends. The two of them rushed into the cloth shop. There were many styles of cloth in the shop, but they were still not as good as those in the county town.
Ke Xin just glanced at the materials and gave up buying cloth first: "My family has been very busy recently, so let's buy ready-made clothes."
When Su Yan heard this, she immediately said anxiously: "Jiu'er, you really don't need to buy any more. Your clothes are not damaged. They fit me perfectly."
