The Imperial Concubine Chef - C104

The first batch of twenty jars weighed a total of two hundred catties. After Su Xinyu finished, she did not continue anymore. Furthermore, she had also gathered this one hundred kilogram raw sauce from a good family that was made by the Aunt Zhao’s neighbors. No matter how temporary it was, it was impossible. Even if she wanted to supply, she would have to wait for the new sauce to finish. So she wasn’t in a hurry. The first time was when she requested for a thousand kilograms.

That much is certainly not enough to bring back some seawater to cook the salt like every family does themselves. Although he had a relationship with Su Xinyu, Zhang Ziyi would not add too much silver to sell to the Zhao Family s. But in the end, the Shangguan Family’s base price was not low. Therefore, the construction cost was much higher than what was collected from each household. But because the raw materials used bean cake, the price was around one catty, which was about the same as how Su Xinyu calculated it at the beginning. In fact, this one thousand Jin was only four taels of silver. The cost was about two taels, which didn’t sound like much. However, it was not the kind of income that could be compared with a few dozen coins a day. In fact, there were only five large vats of one thousand catties. It was far from the amount one would expect. In other words, it was harder with the steamed bean cake and the sauce. The rest of the time was up to the gods.

Of course. This was only the first batch. Zhao Xi was a very shrewd person. He would never do something that would not be worthwhile. He also had his own little scheme. Su Xinyu’s relatives were officials in the army, the Manager Zhang that he knew sold salt. None of these were things that he could afford. Therefore, if he needed a lot of soy sauce in the future, he could hire someone to make it, or even buy someone to make it. It didn’t seem like she would earn much, but what if she earned too much? He knew that the Four Seas Grocery Shop was distributed throughout the Great Yan Dynasty and that this jam could still be transported to a very far place. If the sun rose up a thousand Jin in the future, then it would be two taels of silver a day. Once she had saved up more money, he would do other business. The more money she had, the easier it was to earn.

Of course, Su Xinyu’s earnings would be even greater. A small pot cost two catties. Even the cheapest wanted to sell it for twenty-five pieces of gold. If she sold it at home, no one would approve of the price. But once they were on Four Seas Grocery Shop, it would be different. In the future, the other great restaurants would also sell more, and Yun Lai Fang would also have some. Then the price would be higher.

With regards to the two jars that were currently given to the Manager Zhang, he could have gotten 500 gold anyway. The seafood sauce was actually the cheapest out of all jams. It had something to do with geography. However, Thousand-army Jam was not cheap. The wild mountain fungi were all dried food, using oil to force out their fragrance. The cost of the food was almost equal to that of pork. So she asked for thirty-five cents a catty. Moreover, this was the local price. The price of seafood sauce naturally rises when it reaches inland, far from the ocean.

Zhang Ziyi did not care about this deal at all. But he also knew. So far, the little girl had only given him twenty pounds. If you sell well, or push it somewhere else, a few hundred pounds a day is nothing new. When that time came, it would not be just a matter of a few hundred words, but a row of silver ingots.

Su Wenlan was a little worried when she saw his daughter give away a lot of silver, and then take back the few hundred coins. She wasn’t doing it all because of the silver. Mostly because she didn’t want her daughter to be depressed about it.

However, Su Wenlan did not expect it. A month later, news came from the barracks. She said that she had ordered 5000 catties of seafood sauce and that she was paying 30 gold coins per catty. The one hundred and fifty silver notes, along with Wen Ling’s and Tian Liyong’s letters, had already arrived in her hands.

Su Wenlan calculated. It was hard to tell how big of a gap there was between the first few hundred words. Now he saw it. They bought twenty taels of soy sauce for Zhao Family at five thousand kilograms. The remaining one hundred and thirty silver would be used to make the other ingredients. They had also earned a hundred silver taels in net profit. That was a hundred taels!

But then she realized. This was all exchanged with her daughter’s strength. Five thousand catties of soy sauce, how long was she going to fry it?

Su Xinyu was also a little depressed. However, she had expected this possibility. Thus, she happily accepted it. Seeing her mother’s worry, she smiled and replied, “Mother, don’t be so worried. There are four of us. All I have to do is prepare the ingredients. When that time comes, our family will go out together for a few days. Hard work is hard work. But how much? In the future, if the deal really was too big. At most, she could just go to the countryside and buy a plot of land, build a large courtyard, and buy some workers to cook. I’m only responsible for the ingredients. That’s all we’ve worked so hard for. “It’s just that I’m going to make it difficult for my mother to bear the hardships with me.”

Su Wenlan was relieved to hear her daughter’s words. Why is it so hard? Even though I didn’t use to farm. But I was also the one who took care of the garden. I did all the work. I didn’t pick the water out of the tank. It’s not a difficult job for me. On the other hand, you won’t be able to enjoy the good fortune of being born in our family. ”

Su Xinyu laughed: “I am already very happy. Do what you love to do, and earn money that you can earn. “With mother by my side, there is no one in this world happier than me.”

Su Wenlan did not know whether to laugh or cry. Alright, take this silver. But just don’t lose out to Hu Ya and Ah Gou, that’s all. ”

Su Xinyu nodded: “It’s up to you. I would have been treated badly. What’s more, in this family, we still need to rely on their help. ”

When Zhao Xi heard this, he added another 5000 kg of sauce. This was a big matter. But there is not so much bean cake in a short time, so buying soybeans is bound to increase the cost. Su Xinyu did not argue. Just by saying that it would be raised to fifty grams, he gave Zhao Xi twenty-five taels of silver. Then she set a time with him.

The way the Aunt Zhao made sauce was different from other people’s. For example, Su Xinyu and the others, they would use the new year, which was past New Year’s Eve, to teach their students how to use the new year’s worth of soy sauce and soy sauce. The practice is the oldest farm sauce practice. It was just that the mycelium was good, the beans were good and the Spirit Spring was good.

But the Aunt Zhao sauce wouldn’t take that long. Although Su Xinyu did not check the time it took to make the bean cake to ferment, it shouldn’t be long. The color of the hyphae above was also different from that of her own hyphae. Moreover, there were still some white flour paste and a few other things in the Zhao Family, so the sauce’s flavor was very fragrant, but it would not easily spoil. Su Xinyu would not ask as this was their secret recipe. She only knew that as long as they weren’t unlucky enough to meet continuous rain, it would take eighty days for them to mature.

This was also why Su Xinyu wanted to cooperate with Zhao Family. Because the duration is short, the taste is mellow, and not easy to rot. Furthermore, she put the Spirit Spring in when she processed later. It was even harder to rot. Adding them all together was the key to making a profit.

As for Zhao Family, a few mouthfuls of people from his family went up to make the sauce. However, the difference between five thousand pounds and a thousand pounds was just too great. There wasn’t that much space in the house. Fortunately, Zhao Xi’s hometown was in the nearby Zhao Family Village, and he still had an old dwelling in his village. Although it was only three acres of land, it had all been rented out. But the old house was not given to anyone else. It’s just in time for the sauce.

As for whether or not Zhao Family had invited his countrymen to make sauce for him or not, that was not Su Xinyu’s concern. What she needed to do now was to prepare the seasonings needed for the seafood sauce. As for the fish and shrimp, they weren’t in a hurry. Even if the space could be kept fresh, it was still best to make fresh ingredients. So recently, she didn’t need Hu Ya to follow her around, she only said that she wanted them to grind the medicinal ingredients she brought back into powder at home, and then she would run out and “buy” the seasoning.

In fact, Su Xinyu took the chance to take a look at the local speciality agricultural products. Since it was already hot and raining, there were a few mushrooms and quite a few fresh wild vegetables in the mountain forest. She began to take out all the good things in the space and take them home.

Today, some fat mushrooms were left for Mei to dry. Tomorrow is a basket of fat and tender wild vegetables. In short, to Hu Ya and Su Mei, as long as their young miss left, they would definitely have something good to say when they return.

It was not like Su Xinyu was home today. After the three of them finished lunch, Su Wenlan and Su Mei was embroidering flowers while Hu Ya was beside them preparing to grind the pepper.

It was not that Su Mei disliked them, it was that she was in a really difficult situation. I say, Hu Zi, can’t you go out and temper yourself? “This has always made me and Madam feel the same way when it comes to embroidery. How are we going to sell it when the time comes?”

Hu Ya revealed his tiger teeth as she laughed heartless. It’s fine. Didn’t the young master say that it would be fine if she bought it and gave it to him to have a bit of incense? At that time, this handkerchief will be extremely fragrant, I guarantee that it will be even more expensive. ”

Su Wenlan did not know whether to laugh or cry. It was really depressing to let Hu Zi grind the grits in the courtyard by herself. These pads were also promised to her aunts. There’s no smell in the sun. ”

Originally, Su Mei did not plan to make things difficult for Hu Ya, but it was also for the sake of a battle of words. ” Madam, please spoil her. Recently, she didn’t even follow the young master out anymore. “This young master alone is dangerous.”

“How could your young master listen?” She was fond of running in the mountains ever since she was a child. After that, he started learning medicine from her, the step grandfather, and she ran into the mountains with her. She was to Shan Bi’s relative. However, it was no wonder. Back then, his home … Oh, let’s not talk about it anymore. In short, if she wanted to walk around, she could just let her walk around. I won’t be able to rest for long. ”

However, Hu Ya did not think that way, “Madam, don’t be sad either. The young master has a backbone. Moreover, the young master had lost his ability. He would never do something risky. A few days ago, I heard Master say that our young master’s soy sauce was cooked by the chef at the Cloudfall Workshop. The Young Master said that in two days, she would find some good ingredients and make a new taste. I wondered what she was looking for. Yes, the young master said she was looking for inspiration. “Inspiration is important.”

Su Mei did not understand. “What is inspiration?”

How could Hu Ya understand this? I don’t know. It was just what the young master said. Let’s just wait for something good to eat. ”

Su Wenlan laughed: “Xinyu, these weird people sure talk a lot.”

They hadn’t finished talking. There was a knock on the door. Hu Ya quickly got up and opened the door. “You can tell who it is with one look.” It’s Steward Li, did you come for something? ”

“The person who came was the Second Steward of the Li Residence on the street in front.” Hu Zi, our Fourth Young Master wants to get married. He wants to order two hundred bags of wedding cakes from your family. Is your young master at home? Can you accept this? “
