"Knock knock."

There was a knock on the door, Su Jian closed the list she was looking at, judging from the people with purchase intentions who Tian Caiwei fed back, the market's response to the bean paste was still good, and it should not be sold. However, in order to sell for a long time, China Merchants must be careful.

"Miss, are you asleep?"

It's goose yellow.

Su Jian subconsciously looked outside, it was pitch black. In the past, she went to bed early; But it was rare to have time this afternoon, and she rested well, but she couldn't sleep at night.

"Come in."

Goose Huang pushed the door and walked into Su Jian's room, not daring to look up at Su Jian.

"What's wrong?"

Hearing Su Jian's voice, Goose Huang felt uncomfortable. She knelt down in front of Su Jian: "Miss, you punish the slave." ”

Su Jian was surprised by Goose Huang's kneeling, and heard Goose Huang say punishment, knowing that something must have happened, so he put on a serious face: "What happened?" ”

Goose Huang still didn't dare to look at Su Jian: "The shopkeeper of Gangqin is here, and he also brought a bottle of bean paste." ”

Su Jian's heart sank, although Goose Huang didn't say much, she already had a guess in her heart: "Is there another bean paste on the market?" ”

Su Jian didn't think about doing it exclusively. Especially when it comes to eating! The market circulates well, and it is a matter of time before food is figured out, but ...... The ...... of making bean paste It stands to reason that it shouldn't have been made so quickly, unless someone who is good at cooking, or someone involved in making bean paste in the General's Mansion leaked the method.

She believes in the latter more.

Goose Huang nodded, and didn't dare to look at Su Jian. She knows better than anyone that Su Jian is counting on Douban sauce to make money, and she also deliberately opened a workshop. Now that other companies are also making bean paste, it has affected the sale of bean paste in the county, and this workshop is ......

"You just said that Shopkeeper Qin brought a bottle of bean paste, but someone else made it?" Su Jian asked.

"Yes."

"Bring it to me and taste it."

After a while, a bottle of bean paste was placed on the table in Su Jian's room, Su Jian was not in a hurry to try it, but directly dug a spoon with a spoon, first looked at the color, then the fragrance, and finally began to taste the taste.

Goose Huang looked at Su Jian worriedly, afraid that Su Jian would be sad and anxious, she wanted to be relieved but saw Su Jian's face sinking, she panicked: "Miss, our family's bean paste is not bad." ”

"Is the selling price of this bean paste cheap or expensive compared to ours?" Sue simply looked straight at Goose Yellow.

Goose Huang was stunned for a moment, and replied honestly: "I heard that the shopkeeper Qin said that it would be cheaper for thirty yuan a catty." ”

Su Jian sneered and unceremoniously threw the spoon into the bottle: "Goose Huang, you are also a skilled cooker, this bean paste."

…… Do you see any specific differences between us and ours? ”

"The slave maid also just learned about this matter, but the shopkeeper Qin tried it, saying that if the young lady asked about the difference in taste, he found a little, although the fragrance is similar to ours, but other ones are not as salty and thick as ours." After Goose Huang finished speaking, he saw that Su Jian had been looking at her, and he was undecided.

The light and shadow in Su Jian's eyes flashed, and the shopkeeper Qin was smart. When you encounter something, you come to her directly, without delay, the key is that when you come to her, you are fully prepared, which is extremely rare. This Qin shopkeeper can be entrusted with important tasks in the future.

"And what do you think is going on?"

Seeing Su Jian asking her again, Goose Huang thought about it and said boldly: "Isn't it that the bean paste sold by our family was bought back, mixed with water and resold to others?" ”

Su Jian nodded, and Goose Huang's words were exactly the guess in her heart. Originally, the workshop was open, and she was ready to establish brand awareness and anti-counterfeiting awareness, and also instructed Bai Rong to pay more attention. But there are some people who are much faster than her, and she is not happy. The more important reason is that the bean paste mixed with water is more likely to be bad and not easy to store, which is not good, and I am afraid that it will affect my own family: "From now on, we will no longer sell bean paste." ”

"But ......"

"Nothing."

“……”

"In addition to selling more bean paste to Fengyi City, others generally buy it for a few taels or a catty, I want to see, we don't sell it here, how do people outside sell bean paste!" Su Jian spoke with emotion: "What was the total profit of Xiao Su's restaurant last month?" ”

"Nearly six hundred taels of silver." After Goose Huang finished speaking, seeing that Su Jian was still looking at her, she continued: "Counting the previous surplus, the total surplus of Xiao Su's restaurant is currently nearly eight taels of money. ”

Su Jian nodded: "I have always liked to be confident in doing things, you allocate three hundred taels of silver from the public account to buy a large number of raw materials for making bean paste and soybean oil, remember that this matter does not need to be high-profile." The restaurant left one hundred and fifty taels of silver for turnover, and then gave another one hundred and fifty taels to Zhang Da, and the general's mansion should be rebuilt, and the remaining two hundred taels were used for the general's mansion. ”

The General's Mansion is currently her façade, and only when the General's Mansion is erected, will others weigh it and scruple when they have the idea of beating her things.

A quarter of an hour later, the blind bear appeared in Su Jian's courtyard.

If Su Jian's face didn't look so serious, and the aura revealed by his body wasn't so cold, maybe the blind bear would still be immersed in the sweet dream of being woken up by the goose yellow in the middle of the night.

"Blind bear, find me a few clever people in the mansion, and they belong to the people with fresh faces, come into the city to help me find out the news."

When the blind bear heard Su Jian's words, he suddenly straightened up: "But do you want to inquire about the news of Douban?" ”

"Yes, I want to know where the people who sell the bean paste get the goods." Su Jian said the purpose in her heart, and when she was waiting for the blind bear to come over, she carefully looked at the accounts again, and found that the bean paste sold from Xiao Su's restaurant was at most three or five catties at a time.

If it's been a long time and there are still people selling it, then ......

She speculated that either someone was quietly buying the bean paste that was sold in pieces, and then selling it after the purchase; There is also a possibility that Fengyi City is competing with her for business, after all, Fengyi City is there, and the amount of goods she gave at the beginning is huge. But she felt that it wouldn't be Fengyi City, and judging from the contact during this time, Fengyi City shouldn't care about this little money.

It's good if she just wants to seize the market, but if the shoddy bean paste appears at this time, it is aimed at the workshop she is about to open, then it is very important for her to let Goose Yellow purchase raw materials before.

After all, Hu Dou ...... If she wants to be self-sufficient, she will have to see a good harvest after planting.

"Madame, don't worry, the little one will go find someone now." The blind bear responded.

Su Jian snorted, looked at the blind bear and said, "Remember to keep this matter secret, especially not to spread it in the General's Mansion or in the workshop, so as not to affect people's hearts." ”

"Madame, don't worry, the little one is provincial."

"Hmm." Su Jian stood up, her eyes heavy: "There is one more thing, this time I will go into the city and help me bring a few little beggars back." ”

The blind bear didn't understand Su Jian's intentions, but he didn't dare to ask, Xu Mo said that Su Jian was the master, and what the master said, the servants could only comply, and they could never question it. As the chief steward, he should lead by example.
