Chapter 478: Datang's "Old Godmother"

Hearing Li Xiu's sincere words, Su Niang was also moved in her heart, in fact, she also knew that Li Xiu respected her father very much, and she had always regarded their sisters and brothers as her own sisters and brothers, not to mention anything else, the Li family Zhuangzi was able to live a good life now, almost all of which came from Li Xiu's gifts.

Thinking of this, Su Niang no longer concealed her helplessness, and nodded gloomily at the moment: "Don't hide it from the master, the situation in my family is indeed very difficult now, Sister Yuechan helped me invite the imperial doctor in your house to treat my husband's injuries, although it doesn't cost money, but the medicine needed is still to be bought at home, and at least the money is consistent every month, and now the family's money has been almost spent, and if it goes on like this, I can only sell my dowry, so I want to work in the workshop, so that I can earn some money every month to subsidize the family." ”

"That's right, it's not a big deal to be short of money for a while, I know you're very strong, you don't like to accept other handouts, you want to go to the workshop to work and earn money, this method is also very good, but I have a better way to make money here, but I don't know if you're interested?" Li Xiu finally said his purpose at this time.

"A better way to make money?" Hearing Li Xiu's words, whether it was Su Niang or Yuechan, they all looked at him with a surprised gaze, Su Niang is just a little woman, although she can write and calculate, but after all, it is inconvenient to show her head, in fact, even if it is Yi Niang and Yuechan, they usually only manage the family's property through the housekeepers, and rarely have any direct contact with the outside world, let alone a little woman like Pixel Niang, who has no one to ask for money and no money.

"What? Don't believe my words? Li Xiu saw Su Niang and Yuechan's surprised expressions, but at the moment he smiled a little teasingly, others say that he is talented, but in fact, what he is best at should be making money, and even as long as he is willing, he can conjure a mountain of gold with just one idea.

"We naturally believe in the master, but don't forget, master, Su Niang is just a woman, and I am afraid there is really not much she can do." Yuechan was the first to react, and said to Li Xiu at the moment, Su Niang nodded again and again when she heard her words, and she completely agreed with Yuechan's words, after all, except for the tea workshop, women are rarely used in other places.

"What's wrong with the woman, aren't you and Yiniang also women, Yuechan, but aren't the tea workshops at home supported by the two of you women?" Li Xiu asked with a smile again.

"This ...... This is different, how can I compare with Sister Yuechan, let alone Mrs.? Su Niang heard Li Xiu's words but was very unconfident, this is also what she said in her heart, Yi Niang, she has not had much contact, but Yuechan is her best friend, and she still learns literacy and arithmetic from Yuechan, and she dare not compare with Yuechan in terms of ability.

"It's no different, Yuechan and Yiniang have their advantages, Su Niang, you also have your own advantages, for example, the noodles you make are better than those made by Yuechan, who is good at cooking, and there is also the chili sauce you made, which is spicy and fresh, and it is the best chili sauce I have ever tasted!" Li Xiu seemed to be very confident in Su Niang, and praised her one after another.

"Master, this ...... What's the merit here? Su Niang said with some tears and laughter when she heard this, ordinary women also have a few cooking skills, not to mention a woman like Yuechan who is proficient in cooking.

"Of course, this is an advantage, not to mention anything else, just the chili sauce, if it is done well, I am afraid it will not be worse than Yuechan's tea workshop!" Li Xiu smiled and said again, and at the same time finally said what he valued Su Niang, it was the inconspicuous chili sauce on the table just now, although Su Niang's noodles were delicious, but if there was no chili sauce, I am afraid it would lose a lot of color.

"Master, don't laugh, how can this thing be compared to tea?" Su Niang didn't believe Li Xiu's words at all, and even thought he was joking.

"Su Niang, I'm not joking, but I really hope that you can sell chili sauce as a commodity like tea, although there are not many people who eat chili now, but this is mainly because chili peppers have just come from the Americas, and the imperial court has not deliberately promoted them, so chili peppers are only planted in our area, but I am sure that chili peppers will definitely become a must-have thing on the table of most people in the future, the chili sauce you make is so delicious, if you can seize this opportunity, your future achievements will definitely be no worse than Yuechan and them!" Li Xiu said with a solemn expression at this time.

Li Xiu is not bragging, yesterday he knew about Su Niang's situation, and then ate the chili sauce made by Su Niang, and immediately thought of a person in his mind, that is, the old godmother who swept the world in later generations, the old godmother Tao Huabi was also an ordinary peasant woman, in order to subsidize the family before she began to sell chili sauce, but it turned out to be out of control, and established a spicy seasoning empire.

"Sir, are you serious?" Yuechan also looked at Li Xiu in surprise at this time and asked rhetorically, although with her understanding of Li Xiu, he was definitely not joking, but this matter was still a little unbelievable, after all, although the chili sauce was delicious, it was too much worse than tea.

"Of course it's serious, chili pepper is a kind of vegetable, but also a seasoning, and after it came from the Americas, it was not as valued as corn and sweet potatoes, but it was planted in our vicinity, most of them were grown by themselves to eat, and only I grew more there, in addition to eating it myself, the rest is mainly to give away, for example, our emperor His Majesty likes chili peppers very much, and he has to go a lot from me every year."

When he said this, he saw Li Xiu pause for a moment and then said: "There are indeed fewer people who eat chili peppers now, but this is both a challenge and an opportunity, there are few people who eat chili peppers, and even no one sells chili peppers as a commodity at all, so Su Niang, you will not encounter competition at the beginning, as long as you can find an opportunity to open up sales, and at the same time start your own brand, even if there are other people who want to compete with you in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult!" ”

"Master, there is some truth in what you said, but since there are few people who eat chili peppers, it may not be easy to open up the sales of chili sauce, right?" Yuechan asked again at this time, she is also very sensitive to business matters now, and she asked the key point at once.

"Haha~, it's actually very simple to open up sales, think about what are the most people outside the door of our tea workshop?" Li Xiu laughed and asked Yuechan rhetorically.

"Outside the gate of the tea workshop, there must be people waiting to buy tea!" Yuechan replied without thinking about it, although the production of tea has increased rapidly, the demand for tea has grown faster, so she estimates that in ten years or even longer, tea will be in short supply.

"That's right, among those who are waiting to buy tea, many of them are merchants from all over the world, including those Hu merchants who go to the Western Regions or the grasslands, after they buy tea, they need to travel a long distance to transport the tea to various places, and on the way in addition to being careful of robbers, the biggest difficulty is the diet, after all, when they go out, these merchants take caravans, and they can only eat dry food all the way, but if they can prepare a jar of chili sauce, even dry food will become more delicious!"

When Li Xiu said this, he paused for a moment and then said: "As for how to make these merchants accept chili sauce, this is even simpler, for example, we can give these merchants some chili sauce for free at the beginning, ordinary people can't refuse free things, as long as you get used to eating chili peppers, it will make people want to stop, and you don't have to worry about sales at all!" ”

When the old godmother first started, he also gave chili sauce to some big truck drivers for free, and even some small stalls, small restaurants, etc., and when the drivers and diners were used to adding some old godmothers to the meal, the sales of the old godmothers increased suddenly.

"This method is good, in addition, Ma Ye and their caravan can also send some, anyway, they are all their own people, and the back kitchen of our tea workshop, sometimes we also need to cook something different, there must be someone who likes the taste of chili sauce, so it will be easier to open up sales!" Yuechan heard Li Xiu's prompt, and her eyes lit up at the moment.

"Yes, peppers are only planted in our area, I don't lack land, just after a while is the season to plant peppers, then I let people have more, at first not too much, you can let Su Niang you do some trial sales, wait until next year to open sales, and then expand production is not too late, as for the principal needed at the beginning, I can provide you with Su Niang, you only need to recruit people and produce chili sauce!" Li Xiu said excitedly to Su Niang at this time.

Although Su Niang has not spoken, she listened carefully to the conversation between Li Xiu and Yuechan, she had worked in the tea workshop for a long time before, and helped Yuechan manage finances, so she also had a certain understanding of business, and when she heard Li Xiu's plan, she also knew that this was indeed a good opportunity, but she was still a little undecided.

"Su Niang, don't hesitate, don't you know the master's ability, since he said that this chili sauce can make money, then it must not be wrong, and the capital master has also helped you out, and the market is also ready-made, it can be said that as long as you can make the chili sauce, you can take it out and sell it for money!" Yuechan saw that Su Niang was still a little hesitant at this time, and couldn't help but persuade at the moment.

Yuechan actually hopes that Su Niang will go to the tea workshop to help her, but Su Niang's income in the workshop is also limited, even if she wants to give Su Niang a higher salary, I'm afraid Su Niang will not accept it, so in a short period of time, the situation in Su Niang's family will not change much, but if Su Niang can seize this opportunity, then there is no need to live a hard life like this, when she thinks that Su Niang is not even willing to eat noodles made of white flour just now, she feels like crying.
