"This thing is called Jasper Green!"

"It is actually the painstaking cultivation of Yangzhou Qiyunguan Zhang Xianren, which can be called a spiritual fruit, men eat health, women eat moisturizing, and even slice and apply face beauty, moisturize the skin, and encompass youth ·······"

Blue Bridge Street, Fuchun Restaurant.

Li Xiao smiled and sold his cucumbers to the shopkeeper of the restaurant, full of praise. The shopkeeper is in his early fifties, and his eyes are very shrewd, although he doesn't fully believe Li Xiao's words, but the cucumbers in front of him are indeed extraordinary.

"Shopkeeper, can you borrow your kitchen?"

The shopkeeper was surprised, how could he still borrow the kitchen for selling cucumbers?

"I want to use this cucumber to make a hand pat cucumber for the shopkeeper, and after the shopkeeper tastes it, he will know the extraordinaryness of my jasper green."

"Good!" The shopkeeper smiled and agreed.

The kitchen of the restaurant is fully equipped with tools, even the condiments are also very complete, the salt is the best snow-white refined salt, and there are also sauce, vinegar and spices.

Making a hand-papped cucumber is actually very simple, Li Xiao skillfully pats, cuts, mixes, stirs, and after a while, a verdant cucumber is made into several plates of good-looking hand-papped cucumbers.

The cucumber is very large, and one directly makes three plates, and it is full.

"Shopkeeper, please try it."

The whole process of cooking, Li Xiao did it in front of the shopkeeper and the chef in the back kitchen, there was nothing to hide, and they could see the materials and techniques used.

"This kind of cold salad is unusual, but it's not suitable for eating cold salad in winter, right?" The cook was a little dissatisfied with Li Xiao's fiddling on his turf.

The shopkeeper didn't speak, but walked up and picked up chopsticks, first grabbed a piece of cucumber and put it in his mouth.

It's cool, then it's crunchy, then it's a little sour, it's a little spicy, but when these flavors are mixed together, it becomes very different.

"Quite appetizing." The shopkeeper thinks that if this hand-shot cucumber is added to the menu of Fuchun Restaurant, it will definitely be liked by many customers.

The shopkeeper has a vision, such a season, such a good cucumber, coupled with this new practice, this cucumber is really good.

"Let's go, while talking."

Moved to the side of the room, the next conversation was much simpler, the shopkeeper was very interested in the cucumbers brought by Li Xiao, and then the discussion was just a price issue.

After some verbal arguments, Li Xiao finally reached an agreement with the shopkeeper.

Li Xiao provides 20 fresh jasper greens for Fuchun Restaurant every day, and the price is calculated according to 5 cents each, which is equivalent to the wholesale price.

Originally, if Li Xiao could promise to only provide it to Fuchun Restaurant, then the price could be raised a lot, but Li Xiao still told them directly and honestly that this kind of jasper green is not only sold to Fuchun Restaurant, but also provided to other restaurants, so that the price naturally cannot be too high.

However, five wen is one, only Fuchun Restaurant, which can be sold for 100 wen a day in the future, which is also a lot of money.

As the sincerity of the first cooperation, Li Xiao also taught the practice of hand-slapping cucumbers to the restaurant.

Twenty cucumbers were handed over to the restaurant, and the restaurant also gave a hundred copper coins, and Huang Chengcheng's Kaiyuan Tongbao was very new, and the direct payment with copper coins also showed the sincerity of the shopkeeper.

The two sides also made an agreement that Li Xiao would send people to deliver cucumbers every day in the future, and the restaurant would settle the account every five days.

"Shopkeeper, please stay and take your leave!"

"San Lang go slowly!"

Leave and leave.

After turning the corner, Da Biao finally couldn't help but say, "Is this transaction so simple to make, or is it a long-term deal?" ”

"Well, it's as simple as that, we have good things, and the price is okay, there's no reason why the restaurant shouldn't."

"It's a little too easy."

"Alright, we're on a winning start, now let's go to the next one." Although Lanxi Street is also at the top of the water and land, there are few restaurants on the street that are really high-grade, and Li Xiao does not plan to sell more cucumbers in Lanxi, and the bigger market should still be in Chang'an.

A Fuchun restaurant on Lanxi Street, if you can eat 20 cucumbers a day, it is already good.

Lantian County.

It is forty miles away from Lanxi and only forty miles away from Chang'an.

There are obviously a few more big restaurants here, and there are even many villas and estates of aristocratic and wealthy families here, this time Li Xiao and everyone acted separately, not only looking for restaurants to sell, but even began to take the initiative to sell to those Zhumen wealthy families.

Wholesale from ten, the lowest wholesale price is five wen, and the highest is sold to ten wen.

Everyone worked non-stop and went their separate ways.

Maybe it's because the nobles are not short of money, maybe it's because the cucumbers in this season are too rare, especially Li Xiao's cucumbers are too fresh and tender, especially when they are still tender and long, as a result, everyone took out Li Xiao's rhetoric when they were selling, and with such a package, the cucumber immediately became a little taller.

Ten were sold here, a few were sold there, and in just half a day, more than 100 were sold in Lantian.

After eating some of the yellow bread they carried, everyone rode horses and mules to Chang'an, and the forty-mile road was only an hour. Rushing to Chang'an, Li Xiao sighed at the grandeur of Chang'an City in this era, and was anxious to go to the East and West City to find restaurants to sell.

At this time, Chang'an, as the center of the Tang Empire, still implemented the Lifang system, one hundred and eight squares, dotted with dots.

But business is by no means prosperous, all the shops and markets are concentrated in the central part of Chang'an City, the middle and west of the two closed markets, all walks of life, all the vendors and shops, are open in it.

In addition, it belongs to the residential area, the imperial city where the government offices, and the palace where the emperor's concubines lived, and there are no shops in the square outside the east and west cities.

Even the major restaurants are basically concentrated in these two major markets, and the so-called east and west are rich, each with its own merits.

The major restaurants in Chang'an are not only gathered in the east and west cities, but also in the market, and the restaurants are basically on the same street, which greatly facilitates Li Xiao's sales and saves a lot of things.

After Li Xiao took the initiative to bid the wholesale price of five cents, and even gave a delicious hand-papped cucumber recipe, many restaurants expressed interest in his cucumber.

More buy twenty or thirty roots, less also buy ten, and all said that as long as the guests like it, they are willing to cooperate for a long time in the future.

The first cooperation is all cash, and the subsequent cooperation is settled once every three or five days.

Seeing that it was about to get dark, the street cleaning drum on the sixth street of Chang'an City had already sounded.

As soon as the street drum sounds, the yamen is reminding everyone that those who want to leave the city should hurry up, and those who want to enter the city should also hurry. Chang'an implements a curfew policy, every day when it gets dark, the city gates are closed, and even the doors of each square are closed, and once the door is closed, it is forbidden to walk on the street, and those caught violating the ban will be thrown into prison.

If you lose time, you can only squat in the corner of the market and wait for the door to open at dawn.

There was no time to visit the majestic capital of the great empire, Li Xiao and Da Biao rushed out of the city with heavy copper coins on their backs and many people in a hurry.
