In order to taste this novel chili sauce, many people would rather spend their own money to buy two steamed buns at the breakfast shop next door to try them, and even the business of the breakfast shop is booming.

Hearing the shopkeeper say that the owner of the breakfast shop wanted to buy chili sauce in bulk, Gu Yunji raised his eyebrows: "This boss is quite smart, our spicy taste is just an opening tasting event today, it is impossible for someone to buy steamed buns and try chili sauce every day in the future, but there are people who want to go to him for breakfast every day." ”

"He buys some chili sauce and puts it in the store, and sells it with steamed buns, rice porridge and other breakfast at that time, which can not only take the opportunity to raise the price, but also attract a large number of customers in the name of spicy chili sauce, which is the long-term way to attract customers."

Zhang Cuiying asked: "Then according to Lord Gu, should we sell it or not?" ”

Gu Yunji couldn't cry or laugh: "The storefront, workers and all kinds of sales affairs of Spicy Fairy, you were in charge of it before, don't look at me today and ask me here." You must know that my share dividends are not as high as yours, so you can make your own decisions about these things, Boss Zhang. ”

Zhang Cuiying was a little uncomfortable by his call of "Boss Zhang", and after thinking about it, this is indeed the reason, so she turned her head and asked the shopkeeper: "Did the owner of the breakfast shop say how much chili sauce he wanted?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "He said that the first time not too much, twenty catties is good, take it back and sell it first to try, if the guests like it, the chili sauce will be bought from us in the future, and by the way, we will establish a long-term cooperative relationship with our spicy fairy." ”

He also said that his breakfast restaurant has a large number of customers, and if the chili sauce is really popular, he will eat at least 50 catties a month. He wants a lot of money, and I hope we can give him a wholesale price, a little cheaper. ”

Zhang Cuiying thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "If he wants more, the price can be a little cheaper." In this way, as long as he buys fifty catties and above each time, he will be converted by nine, and the original price of one hundred wen will be sold to him for ninety wen, if he can accept this price, the transaction can be set today. ”

The shopkeeper answered, and was about to go out to convey to the owner of the breakfast shop, but was stopped by Zhang Cuiying, "Don't forget to tell him that even if we want to buy in batches, we can only deliver them in seven days at the earliest." On the one hand, we have to carry out opening activities in the next six days, and on the other hand, because there is not much inventory, it is too urgent in a short period of time, and the output cannot keep up. ”

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Well, I understand, don't worry." So saying, he turned and went out.

Watching the shopkeeper leave, Zhang Cuiying exhaled lightly, and said helplessly: "I prepared 500 catties of chili sauce before the opening, I thought it could be used for a long time, but now it seems that according to this situation, I am afraid that it will be sold out in a few days." ”

Gu Yunji said with a smile: "Boss Zhang, let's expand production quickly, we can still control sales in the store and use hunger marketing, what about these restaurants that want to buy in bulk?" ”

"It's only the first day of opening today, and the breakfast shop next door will come to wholesale, maybe there will be noodle restaurants, stir-fry restaurants, and even restaurants in two days, and there will be a bunch of orders when the time comes, but our output can't keep up, and we can't make money, isn't it very uncomfortable?"

Zhang Cuiying heard this very reasonably, even if she ordered the workers to work overtime to make a new stock of chili sauce.

I didn't expect Gu Yunji to say that it was true, and as soon as the chili sauce came out, it was very popular in Xuzhou Mansion, and it swept the entire Xuzhou Mansion in a few days.

Not only is there a long queue at the entrance of Spicy Fairy before dawn every morning, but restaurants of all sizes are also chasing hot spots, buying chili sauce in large quantities and placing it in their own stores as a side dish seasoning to attract and retain customers.

For a time, the supply of spicy fairy chili sauce exceeded demand, and the existing production capacity could not meet the demand. Zhang Cuiying had no choice but to recruit workers, rent another workshop, and in just three or four months, the store in the capital of Xuzhou became more and more prosperous, not to mention, and also opened two branches in the county seat of Yibin County and Fushun County, which are more economically developed.

There are many ways to eat chili sauce, vulgar can enter the people's house bibimbap and dip steamed buns, Yake can enter the noble house to accompany the meal to try fresh, but vulgar and elegant, not only can you get it, but also very practical, so the chili sauce has become a hot commodity for visiting relatives and friends, and even the officials of Xuzhou Mansion have taken this as a gift and presented each other.

Gu Yunji looked at the few cans of chili sauce sent by Chen Xunzhou in front of him, and couldn't help but feel funny: "The chili sauce was sent to me, doesn't he know that I am one of the owners of the Spicy Fairy?" ”

"In order to keep a low profile, I specially asked Zhang Cuiying and Fan Liyin to remove my name, in the eyes of ordinary people, Zhang Cuiying is the owner of Spicy Fairy. For an official like Chen Xunzhou, even if he can't find me, he should be able to find Fan Li, and he doesn't know that I have a lot of relationship with Fan Li, so even if he guesses, he should be able to guess, right? ”

Xu Dong answered: "What if you guessed?" Tongzhi Lord Chen ordered 1,000 cans of two-catty chili sauce this time and distributed them to his colleagues and the Chen family. Even if he knows that you are the owner behind the Spicy Fairy, he has to give it to you in order not to make others suspicious. ”

"He actually bought a thousand cans of chili sauce?" Gu Yunji rarely paid attention to the sales affairs of Spicy Immortals, and it was the first time he had heard of this, "One thousand cans and two catties of specifications, that is two thousand catties, even if it is calculated according to the purchase price of nine percent, it will be one hundred and eighty taels of silver." ”

Thinking of this, Gu Yunji sneered: "A small meal, a small gift used to win people's hearts, Chen Xunzhou gave up nearly two hundred taels of silver, which is really generous." But at the beginning, I asked for 5,000 taels of silver to buy artichoke seeds, which is beneficial to the people, but he didn't agree with anything, I really don't know where his generosity was used. ”

Xu Dong said on the side: "But the spicy fairy is popular during this time, and it has also attracted a lot of people's eyes, my lord, you said hello in advance, but no one dares to make a stumbling block secretly, but there are still a lot of people who imitate chili sauce, and our spicy fairy is famous, and even people in Zhejiang have begun to try to eat chili peppers." ”

"However, our recipe is well kept secret, and those people can't imitate the taste, and no one in the city buys it, so they can only sell it to farmers in the suburbs at a low price."

Gu Yunji was not surprised by this: "Our chili sauce is one pound and one hundred wen, which is worth five catties of pork, from the beginning it was only planned to be sold in Fucheng and major counties, and it is generally difficult for farmers to eat, even if they can afford to eat chili sauce, they will not be willing to buy it with that money, and chili sauce cannot be sold in the countryside." ”

Xu Dong smiled: "I don't think those imitation chili sauces will be sold for long, because we have already passed the chili seeds and planting technology to the countryside for free, and after a few months, the farmers will be proficient in planting, and they will definitely prefer to make their own tea than spend money to buy it." ”

Speaking of this, Xu Dong was a little puzzled, and said with admiration: "Master, you just make money yourself, and give these things to others for free, what is the difference between giving away the money and giving it away?" Master, your heart is too good. ”

Gu Yunji laughed when he heard this: "You think highly of me, I also have a purpose to pass on the pepper seeds, not selfless dedication." Pepper planting spreads, it is easier to produce excellent pepper varieties, we don't have to go so far to Zhejiang, we can purchase pepper raw materials locally, which is a win-win measure for self-interest and altruism. ”

"What's more, the wisdom of the working people is unlimited, just relying on our spicy fairy, there are only a few kinds of chili products researched, but the people can figure out all kinds of ways to eat, maybe we will have to learn from them when the time comes."

Xu Dong scratched his head: "What the adults said is that it's just that the weather is hot now, and it's easy to get hot when eating chili peppers, and the business of the spicy fairy is not as good as the previous two months." ”

Catching a glimpse of the blazing sunshine outside, Gu Yunji's smile tightened, and his eyebrows were dyed with melancholy: "It's early summer in April, and it's the busy farming season, whether the chili sauce sells well or not is secondary, but if it doesn't rain again, it will be a big trouble." ”
