The Imperial Concubine Chef - C102

The commoners’ trembling days had gradually recovered after a month. Although the price of rice, oil and salt had risen, the shop was reopened. There was no problem with normal life.

In fact, people are very adaptable. Now that they could hear different war reports every day, the citizens’ initial fear had turned into normal worry. There were even other rumors circulating around the place. But today, Third Prince was blessed with a great responsibility, and tomorrow, Fourth Prince’s orders were right and proper. In short, these public opinion battles had no real meaning to these commoners. In this era, unless the commoners rebelled, no one was qualified to be the emperor.

Su Xinyu’s stall had not been restored yet. Their families didn’t lack money. With just three thousand silver taels, the four of them would be able to live comfortably for the rest of their lives. But Su Xinyu was not a person with no grand ambitions. She wanted more. However, it was not practical now. After the old Emperor dies, the new Emperor will have a new plan. If it was Wen Ling standing on the Fourth Prince, then it would be the best for her. She would be able to show off her skills when the time came. But in case of misfortune, she would have to see the situation and see if she could develop further after the New Deal.

Thus, she didn’t mind waiting for a while. Moreover, he was only eleven years old.

But Su Family did not do business, and some people missed their things. The nearby neighbors would occasionally come over to Su Family to chat with Su Wenlan. “Su Wenlan followed her daughter’s instructions and told those people. Sigh. Isn’t that so? My nephew and nephew are former enemies. She wasn’t in the mood. As you know, there are only two families in my family that can travel with orphans and widows. Just in case there was something between the two of them. How could I, an aunt, be at ease? Xin Yu has been good to two older brothers since he was young. He was also anxious in his heart, this snack was, after all, ignited since he was angry, and I was afraid that he was too young. Fortunately, the family still has some savings, so let’s talk about it later. ”

These words could not be said to be impeccable, but they were, after all, the aunts and aunts of the neighbors, and they themselves were of concern. After hearing this, how could they pretend nothing had happened when they had two relatives on the front line? Moreover, a master craftsman’s Su Family couldn’t be passed down to females. If Yu did not make a move, and his mother did not, it was just that she would not be able to set up a show.

But everyone knew that Su Wenlan was good at embroidery. There was no need to worry about not being able to eat Su Family or not being able to drink it.

The days passed one by one, but there was no sign of the end of the war. After a long time, Su Xinyu was no longer anxious. But she began to notice other deals. This was the sauce. And this thought came from the Aunt Zhao.

Aunt Zhao cooking was normal, but she was good at cooking. In the first few days, the weather began to warm up, and Aunt Zhao’s house began to smash the pancakes. The fragrance caused Su Xinyu to be extremely envious. Relying on her age, she went over to “help”. Actually, the fermentation process of soybean was the most important. Furthermore, the mycelium was different in every household. Naturally, the mycelium belonging to the Aunt Zhao would not be passed on to outsiders.

Su Xinyu knew how to make the sauce. And the space has the best bacteria in it. Their Royal Kitchen had a type of sauce that was cooked by their own families. Therefore, after inheriting the space from her grandfather, she had also integrated the cooking skills of the sauce. But she wasn’t proficient enough. Therefore, Aunt Zhao’s skillful techniques made her very envious. Aunt, your cooking skills are really good. ”

In the Aunt Zhao’s heart, the Yu of Su Family was a good, capable child. “How could I not be happy to be praised by a good child?” You know how to make a fool of people. How can my skills compare to yours? Auntie, this is what you eat at home. You will be opening a big restaurant in the future! ”

Su Xinyu laughed. But Auntie, this sauce of yours is really delicious. Can you do more? I’ll buy it from you. ”

Aunt Zhao laughed: “Aiyo. How could a little bean paste be useful? “If you can eat as much as you want, I can just give you a spoonful.”

Su Xinyu shook his head. I want to do business with it. There’s a lot I want from you. ”

Aunt Zhao was stunned. Ah? This sauce can be made by any household, that is, the oil salt shop will prepare a few vats. You won’t sell much if you want it. ”

Su Xinyu did not hide from him. I’m not selling life sauce. I’m going to use it as a raw material. Don’t worry, I promise I won’t lose any money. and I’m sure you can make money. ”

Hearing that they were here for real, the Aunt Zhao could no longer make the decision. You are too big for my aunt to make such a decision, child. You just wait for your uncle to come back, right? ”

Su Xinyu was not suddenly enlightened. However, it did not take long for him to ponder about it. However, the current unstable life in the imperial court was not as lively as it was in the past. Even the people who usually bought and sold vegetables seemed to be a little fewer. She knew that things would only get worse with time like this. After all, after this war between the previous enemies, the imperial government’s struggle for the throne would only get bloodier and more brutal. However, no matter what, the people would always be at a disadvantage.

And the commoners were nothing more than pickled tea. Food was the most precious thing in this chaotic world. The imperial court would have to collect more grain for the war. Therefore, she, who had no land and no fields, could not have any such thoughts. Oil was always important. Even though the price of vegetable oil was not high, it was not too cheap. Furthermore, the amount of soy oil that was produced was not large, and was far less expensive than rapeseed oil from the south. Thus, there were more people eating lard. This was also something that Su Xinyu did not need to touch. Salt had always been a monopoly of the imperial government. Selling salt was a capital offense. Tea was also controlled by the imperial merchants. Only some small tea plantations that were not on a large scale would sell some coarse tea leaves to the market. However, the tea leaves were not cheap. Only the vinegar could be touched, but the vinegar needed to be made with food. In this place, soybeans were not considered as the main dish, so the price was very low. Actually, the oil extracting technology here was not perfect, and the oil extracted from the bean cake was very rich as well. However, the price of a bean cake was seven points cheaper than the price of a bean cake. She could not have made it better.

The raw materials were cheap, plus she wanted to use the soy sauce as a base to make other flavors for sale. So the cost wasn’t too big. But Su Xinyu needed a skilled craftsman. Aunt Zhao was the first person she thought of. She could not always do everything by herself, so knowing how to use people was a necessary skill that everyone who did great things had to learn.

When Zhao Xi came back, he specially came over to talk with Su Xinyu about this matter. Although the Yu of the Su Family was young, no one on the street dared to say that Su Xinyu was a brat who didn’t have any hair on her mouth. Just by looking at how popular the business was before setting up the stalls, he knew that Yu was a man that had a strong family background.

Su Xinyu’s words moved Zhao Xi’s heart. He was originally a businessman, so his thoughts were naturally active. Although Tian’er had grown warmer these past few months, the hearts of people had never seemed to settle down. He did not understand the great matters of the imperial court. But now that the price of the dishes had risen, it was very disadvantageous for him. Even though he had always been earning the middle price, the amount of silver he earned was indeed a few times less than before. If he could negotiate this deal with the Yu. That’s a lot of money for their family.

Therefore, in the end, Zhao Xi expressed his agreement to cooperate with Su Family. He could even help contact the oil mill and the farmers and collect the cakes and beans. But he also had a request. That was, his wife’s culinary skills were not to be spread.

Su Xinyu understood Zhao Xi’s request. In this era, the result of not having intellectual property protection was that everyone treated their secret recipe as a lifeline. After all, this was for eating, who would be willing? It wasn’t like she didn’t know how to use the sauce. If he really wanted the skill, she could try it himself. But Zhao Family only wants to find a long-term partner. Therefore, Su Xinyu happily accepted Zhao Xi’s suggestion. And she even told Zhao Xi. They can work together in another way. Then, she would take out the silver to pay for it with Zhao Family. She would take as many Zhao Family as she wanted. After that, no matter how much silver she earned from processing and selling, it naturally had nothing to do with Zhao Family anymore.

Zhao Xi was also very satisfied with this way of cooperation. After all, his wife’s cooking skills could be kept a secret to the greatest extent. Furthermore, as long as this business was not wasted, his family, including his son and daughter-in-law, would have a fixed job. When the time came, he would go to the restaurant every day to pick up the dishes and deliver them. Who would complain about having more money?

Su Xinyu also told Su Wenlan about this. Su Wenlan had always listened to whatever his daughter said. “But this time, she still couldn’t resist asking.” Xinyu, you even have this stuff, what if you can’t sell it? ”

Su Xinyu laughed: “Mother. I’m not selling it that way. I want to put something in the sauce. For example, fish, shrimp, crabs, meat including bacteria and even a variety of spices and nuts. This way the sauce will be ever-changing. A small pot can be left at home for a meal and a little more than a month. They were willing to write dozens of essays. The more expensive ones could be sold for a few taels of silver per jar, so the rich definitely wouldn’t care. Besides, we can reprocess the sauces. Add some when cooking, some when cooking dumplings and stuffing, and some when stewing the soup. You don’t have to eat it dry. This thing was more suitable for the soldiers before the battle between the two armies. Take a piece of bread with this sauce in it and eat it. Don’t fire or heat it up. It was also very convenient. So, I plan to let the Uncle Zhang take it to the Ling Ge first when I’m done. If they think it’s good, we need military supplies first. The money may not be as high as I expected, but it won’t be lost. Furthermore, I also plan to tell Ling Ge to have his grocery store and the Cloud Lai Workshop try to sell it. He would make a profit anyway. We are all friends. I’m not going to be polite with him. ”

“…” Su Wenlan was at a loss as to how to respond to her daughter’s words. This… Was it really appropriate? The Young Master Wen has always been helpful to us. And working with the Shangguan Family … Could it be inappropriate? ”

Su Xinyu waved her hand, “Mother. Don’t be so formal. It’s really nothing. The Ling Ge was different from other men. She believes that I can be a big business owner, he said will help me realize my dream together. I believe him. Besides, I want to work with him. I don’t want him to lose money, I want him to earn money. What’s wrong with that? I’m a rich boy now. He still has to thank me. “
