Chapter 57: Someone Else's Kitchen Waste
At this time, Wang Xiao had realized the great value of the secret recipe of bean paste sauce.
If their family makes this sauce to sell every year, in the long run, the income will definitely be more than 20 taels of silver.
They have just started to buy and sell bean paste this season, and in less than a month and a half, they have already earned more than 30 taels of silver.
It's just that part of the money spent on eating and drinking during the period has been spent, and now there are still ten taels of silver on hand.
In the long run, it must be cost-effective to keep the secret recipe by himself, and Wang Xiao does not want to sell this secret recipe.
Seeing the shopkeeper Guan walking in front, some distance away from them, Wang Xiao hurriedly pulled the corner of his mother's clothes, and then said in his ear:
"Mother, why do you want to sell your son?
After selling the recipe, we can't do the business of bean paste in the future, and it will actually be a loss in the long run! ”
"Listen to me, yes! Needless to say! ”
Liu Wan comforted her son, but did not explain too much.
At this time, whispering to her son in front of outsiders will make people suspicious, and Liu Wan has no intention of destroying this business.
In her opinion, the ability of bean paste to harvest survival points has weakened a lot, and in her eyes, it has lost the value of squeezing.
The most important thing is that the bean paste is seasonal, and the peas are about to be out of season, and the secret recipe is in the hand, which can only be pressed, not exchanged for money, and it is definitely not cost-effective in terms of time cost.
The most important thing is that the ancients often needed a lot of effort to find out a secret recipe, but here in Liu Wan, with the blessing of the food system, Liu Wan can come up with countless secret recipes like bean paste casually.
Of course, once too many secret recipes are taken out, the market is saturated and not worth much.
Wang Xiao saw that his mother's expression was firm, and he didn't dare to say anything.
has been living under Liu Wan's prestige for a long time, and he is still afraid of Liu Wan in his heart, so he can only stuffy his head, follow her depressedly, and go to the account room that the shopkeeper said.
There are desks and four treasures in the study room in the tent, Liu Wan sat down directly in front of the desk, picked up the brush and began to write.
She writes so skillfully, not only Wang Xiao, but also the shopkeeper can see it one by one.
He thought it would be good if Liu Wan could read, but he didn't expect Liu Wan to be able to write?
Wang Xiao also knew for the first time that his mother was not only literate, but also able to write.
In order not to be too abrupt, Liu Wan deliberately wrote the words crookedly and crookedly, as if she had worked hard to learn words, but she didn't learn them well.
In these years, there are very few people who can read and write, because the cost of going to school is expensive, and studying in the academy is at least 25 taels of silver a year, and it is even more expensive to go to a private school, and those who can afford to read are all wealthy families.
In a family, usually the men who read and write are men, and the women can read and write, either the father and brother themselves are scholars and private school teachers, or they are the daughters of rich families.
Liu Wan is not simple!
Guan shopkeeper said secretly in his heart.
The rich people in the countryside are generally illiterate, let alone writing, and only the daughters in the city can read and write.
Liu Wan's current identity does not match her educational background, no wonder Shopkeeper Guan is curious.
Liu Wan wrote down the recipe of the bean paste on the paper in detail, what to add how much water, how many days to pickle, various ratios of chili pepper and salt, etc., accurate to the minute.
After Liu Wan finished writing, she stopped writing and said to the shopkeeper:
"I don't know if the restaurant has a fixed hand to make bean paste by hand, you can learn it according to this recipe, and I can also guide on the spot, as long as you make it according to this recipe, you can copy my taste."
The shopkeeper Guan took the recipe and swept it away at a glance, and it was clear, and even the best day to make bean paste with the best flavor was clearly written.
"If you can completely replicate your flavor, you have to do it to know, if you have time, take the time to give some pointers, and I will send someone to make bean paste." Guan shopkeeper said.
"No problem, when you see when you need guidance, I'll take the time to come." Liu Wan said.
"The day after tomorrow, I'll have someone prepare the ingredients." Guan shopkeeper said.
"Okay."
At this time, the shopkeeper also wrote the contract well, and the various constraints were also clearly written.
Liu Wan read it and there was no problem, so the two happily signed and pressed their fingerprints, and the documents were in duplicate, one for each.
The shopkeeper handed over 20 taels of silver to Liu Wan, and agreed to come to the back kitchen of Wangjiang Building the day after tomorrow to teach on the spot, and Liu Wan also agreed one by one.
The business was successfully concluded, and Wang Xiao walked out of Wangjiang Tower with twenty taels of silver, and Wang Xiao felt like a dream.
The weight of 20 taels of silver was heavy, and it was the most silver that Wang Xiao had ever taken in his life.
But Wang Xiao did not have the usual happiness of making money, and was depressed.
He drove the ox cart and did not speak all the way.
Liu Wan also sensed his emotions and asked:
"Do you think your mother's secret recipe has been sold and ruined?"
"Yes, if this secret recipe is not sold, our family can continue to sell bean paste in the future, but now it's good, you sell the secret recipe, and you restrict yourself from selling it, isn't it killing chickens and taking eggs?"
Liu Wan said with a smile: "The pea season is about to pass, and the recipe will remain in my hand, and I will not be able to use it again until next year."
And as you can see, it may not be easy to sell next year, because there are too many people imitating us now, and there will be a lot less money to be made.
So if you can sell the recipe to make money, why not?
At present, I walked around the street and found that Wangjianglou is the best restaurant in the town, usually such a restaurant comes quickly, and it is also atmospheric, and it is easy to sell to it.
The shopkeeper is really atmospheric, and there is no counteroffer! I found the right person. ”
"Mother, the water flows for a long time......"
Wang Xiao saw that his mother could still communicate, and he didn't get angry because of his doubts, so he couldn't help but say a few more words.
Wang Xiao has his own ideas, and Liu Wan is really not impatient.
"Don't worry, Xiao'er, I have another way.
You see, I even went out to ask for a big bag of things from the shopkeeper just now, and you didn't care what I wanted. ”
"Mother, what do you want?"
As soon as Wang Xiaoyi heard his mother say that he could do a new business, his spirits lifted and he had the strength to speak.
Liu Wan simply opened the basket of things to Wang Xiao.
When Wang Xiao saw the basket of things, he couldn't help but gasp and said:
"Mother, why are there so many chicken feet? How does chicken feet do business? ”
The bamboo baskets are full of chicken feet.
Wangjianglou has a booming business, and dozens of chickens are killed every day, so there will be a bunch of chicken feet left in the back kitchen.
Of course, it is impossible for the back kitchen of the restaurant to clean up the kitchen waste all the time, it will be piled up together and disposed of at night at one time.
Liu Wan saw this pile of chicken feet when she passed by the back kitchen just now, and immediately came up with an idea.
Before leaving, Wang Xiao went to drive the ox cart and asked the shopkeeper to buy chicken feet.
Although the shopkeeper Guan wondered why she wanted to buy chicken feet, he didn't ask much, and the chicken feet here have always been disposed of as kitchen waste, so he generously gave it to her, and also came with a bamboo basket for chicken feet.
