Chapter 199: It's too risky
Li Chengyin replied with a smile on his face.
Shangguan Xuan's face was also full of smiles, and Mu Chenyu on the side was puzzled, why did she rest assured that she would give him the task knowing that Li Chengyin was a person?
"I wonder what everyone thinks?" Shangguan asked the villagers.
The villagers were talking.
"Miss Shangguan, isn't this idea too risky? No one has ever done this before, chili peppers are everywhere, and if the people in the restaurant don't want it, isn't our hard work all ruined? "Someone said worriedly.
There are also people who firmly believe in Shangguan Juan's ability: "Use your brain to think about it, after we have Miss Shangguan, is life much better?" If any of what she said is wrong, I believe Miss Shangguan. The man said, raised his hand and said, "Miss Shangguan, my family has planted a pepper field, I am willing to take the lead and give it a try first." ”
"Okay." Shangguan Juan had just answered, and was about to tell Li Chengyin to give him a little reward first, when many villagers suddenly rushed to take out their own chili fields.
Seeing the villagers who trusted him so much, Shangguan Juan was moved and asked Li Chengyin to take out the public funds and give some silver taels first.
Li Chengyin sighed in his heart while responding, he didn't expect the villagers to trust her so much in a short period of time, it seems that Shangguan Juan's ability to buy people's hearts cannot be underestimated.
After Li Chengyin came down, he found a big mansion, and after gathering people as quickly as possible, he began to make red oil chili sauce.
On the first day, Shangguan Juan first demonstrated the process of making chili sauce to the villagers present, and after the villagers understood, she stepped aside to supervise it.
A few days later, the production of chili sauce was carried out in an orderly manner, and Shangguan Juan was in charge of supervising and delivering water and rice to the villagers with Mu Chenyu and others. Seven days later, the chili sauce was made.
According to Shangguan Juan's instructions, Li Chengyin invited the chefs and shopkeepers of the restaurants in the major restaurants, put a big pot in the farming school, and then ordered someone to bring in the chili sauce to be made.
Shangguan Juan changed into simple clothes, dressed like a peasant girl, but her fair skin and delicate appearance made her very eye-catching as soon as she appeared.
"Today I'm going to teach you how to cook with red oil chili peppers." She rolled up her sleeves and ordered Mu Chenyu to light the fire.
After a while, a pot of vegetables was cooked, and the red oil tofu was fragrant for ten miles.
Everyone present was attracted by the aroma of this dish, and even the chef of Suzhou No. 1 Restaurant couldn't help but say, "I have never smelled such fragrant tofu." ”
Shangguan Juan thought to himself: Don't look at what condiments are put in.
She served several plates separately and had them served to the table in front of Li Chengyin and the shopkeepers of various stores.
"Let's use chopsticks, let's try it first." Shangguan Wan said.
After everyone ate it, many people were full of praise for this tofu, and the chef of Zhenxiang House couldn't help but say: "I see that Miss Shangguan's cooking method is the same as my usual method of cooking tofu, why are you making it so delicious?" ”
"Could it be because of the chili sauce?" Some shopkeepers have already understood the purpose of Shangguan Juan's invitation to come, and they were originally a little reluctant, but now that they have tasted the good chili sauce, they can't help but secretly rejoice that they are here.
"The reason why this tofu is so delicious is because of the chili sauce. That's why I'm inviting you here today, to taste it before you decide whether you want to buy it or not. As for me, I've already handed over the usage of chili sauce to you. Shangguan Wanyun said lightly, it seems that it doesn't matter if they don't buy it.
The shopkeeper rushed to say: "Buy it, buy it, you must buy it." ”
"I don't know how Miss Shangguan sets the price?" A bearded shopkeeper asked.
"The small one is five cents, and the big one is ten cents a can, and the price is not the same. Ten large cans are cheaper than two cents, and small fifteen cans are cheaper than two cents. Shangguan Juan did not beat around the bush and said bluntly.
When the shopkeepers heard about it, they immediately wanted to buy it.
"If you want to buy it, report to Lord Li, Lord Li, count the quantity, and deliver it to your door when the time comes." Shangguan Wan said.
As soon as the news of the chili sauce drifting for ten miles came out, the shopkeepers of restaurants in neighboring counties also came one after another.
Shangguan Juan saw that the business was getting better and better, and when she thought of the restaurant at home, she immediately went back and wrote a letter to her father.
Mu Chenyu couldn't help but be curious when she saw it: "Miss, what are you doing?" ”
"Report to my dad and ask him to stop buying groceries elsewhere in the future. The Eight Immortals Restaurant is so big, there must be a lot of chili sauce to ask for. If the agricultural products processed by the villagers can be sent to the capital, there will be no worries about the squeeze of goods. ”
Mu Chenyu was shocked, she didn't expect Shangguan Juan to be so generous and kind, she taught the villagers how to process chili peppers, and she didn't take a penny, and directly helped them find a good home.
When these things are transported to the capital, they will certainly be able to play a greater role. It can also be sold at a higher price. The villagers should be able to make a good living soon by processing crops.
He couldn't help but look at Shangguan Juan twice, at her age, she should have eaten, drunk and had fun in the capital, but she didn't bother to help the villagers solve problems in the field, this kind of behavior is really incredible.
Soon, there was a reply from the capital. Shangguan Rong has always responded to his daughter's requests, and quickly gave her the answers she wanted, and sent someone to send a deposit.
Shangguan Juan divided the silver given by her father with the villagers who produced the chili peppers, and told the villagers the good news.
Originally, some villagers who were worried about what to do if the chili sauce could not be sold, as soon as they heard the news, their worries disappeared, and they thanked Shangguan Wan one after another, and said that Ning Hou was really a good person.
There are also many villagers who have not grown chili peppers, and they are envious when they see that the villagers who grow chili peppers have received money.
Shangguan Wan said comfortably: "There are many crops, not only chili peppers. We can also use sweet potatoes to make starch, when the time comes, send to the capital, villagers who have sweet potatoes or potatoes at home can actively participate, if there are no peppers and potatoes, villagers do not need to worry, I said, there are many crops, as long as we want to do, we will be successful. When the time comes, there will be no worries about running out of sales. ”
With Shangguan Juan's words, the villagers were relieved.
"We believe in Miss Shangguan!"
The villagers' voices are very high, and since Shangguan Juan came, the smiles on the faces of the villagers have also increased, which shows Shangguan Juan's status in the hearts of the villagers. She is really loved by the villagers, Mu Chenyu is ashamed of herself, and when she is the prince, she may not be able to get the support of so many villagers.
He sincerely admired Shangguan Juan in his heart.
It's just that when he thinks of Shangguan Rong, Mu Chenyu feels a little incredible.
