"Hey, Chen Xiaoqi, military masters, thank you for your hard work. You have helped us a lot today." Qin Liupo hurriedly thanked her.
The soldiers remained silent and looked at Chen Xiaoqi... Boss, if you don't get angry, we will all become special coolies of the Qin family!
Chen Xiaoqi finally said: "The sixth wife of the Qin family, we are here to guard the place to prevent people from pretending to be poisoned to ruin the reputation of the new kudzu rice grain. We are not here to work for your family."
Qin Liupo pretended not to hear, turned around and ran to bring a basket, pointing inside He ate the piles of wrapped arrowroot powder and said, "This is the arrowroot powder cake specially reserved for you. Take it back and give it to your wife and the girl you like. Keep it and they will adore you to death!"
They are all young men. , upon hearing this, he couldn't hold it any longer, and he quickly happily accepted the kudzu powder to eat.
Qin Liupo felt proud... You guys, if you still want to fight with me, go and practice for another thirty years.
......
In Si Lifang, Miao Yamen informed the people in the square about the grand situation of Qin's stall.
Miao Secretary pulled the abacus and made some rough calculations: "With such customers coming in like clouds, the Qin family stall will make at least three taels of silver in net profit every day. If they are allowed to sell for a month, that will be One hundred taels can buy a shop in the town."
As soon as these words came out, the clerks and village chiefs couldn't sit still.
Miao Lichang looked at Clerk Kong: "Brother Kong, shouldn't you go to the county town and ask Bantou Peng to persuade the adults to make the kudzu powder recipe public as soon as possible? It's late April now, and the Dragon Boat Festival will be here soon. So many families want to buy cakes as holiday gifts, which is a lot of money.”
Kong Shuli and Peng Bantou are cousins, and Peng Bantou is the confidant of the county magistrate.
Bookkeeper Kong was just a minor official, and his family life was not that good. He was very moved when he heard this... Bantou Peng only told him not to frame the Qin family, but he did not say that he was not allowed to make money.
Finally, he agreed: "It's almost the Dragon Boat Festival, it's time for me to go to the county to see my aunt."
......
Qin Xiaomi and the others rested for a while, packed up the stall, thanked Chen Xiaoqi and the others, and headed for the village carrying the pots and pans on their backs.
As soon as I get home, I close the door and count the money and settle the accounts.
Qin Cunquan: "There are many large customers coming to buy arrowroot powder cake today. The gross profit is a full twenty taels. After deducting the cost, the net profit is...five taels or eight hundred yuan!"
"It is better than yesterday. It’s doubled, it’s coming, it’s coming!” Qin Liu Po was so happy that he almost fainted and said again: "Tomorrow we will get up at the fourth watch and make more brightly colored arrowroot cakes. Many rich families like to buy them as gifts!"
Grandma Qin said: "This way Will it be too tiring? ”
Qin Liupo: "Why are you so tired when you are robbing money? If anyone is not willing to suffer this hardship, then withdraw the shares and don't pay any money!"
I learned what Qin Xiaomi said and used it Threaten other people's homes.
Aunt Xu said: "Aunt Qin, we are not afraid of being tired. Now that we can earn more money, we can have a more lively event when my second horse and Li Zi get married."
Xu Fubao opened his eyes Listening with big eyes, he raised his hand and said: "Fu Bao can also work, help uncle marry aunt!"
These words made Xu Erjun and Qiao Lizi blush.
Qin Xiaomi looked at Grandma Qin: "Grandma, since everyone has no objection, let's work harder and grab this wave of money before we talk about it."
From this day on, they will get up on the fourth watch. Make arrowroot cakes. After Chenshi has breakfast, he carries them to the town to sell them. After selling them in the afternoon, he goes home and grinds arrowroot sticks with the people left behind to make arrowroot powder.
After being so busy for eight days, Qin Xiaomi found that no one came by car from the county to buy her arrowroot powder for food, and quickly asked Chen Xiaoqi why.
Chen Xiaoqi said: "There are two restaurants and four snack shops in the county, all selling arrowroot powder cakes. The wealthy households in the county have all bought them in the county... The Bai family, who bought dozens of arrowroot powder cakes last time, His dim sum shop also sells arrowroot cakes." Qin Liupo was angry and swore: "A bunch of shameless people came to steal my master!"
Qin Xiaomi said: "Sixth Po, stop scolding and hurry up to make arrowroot balls. The customers are still waiting to buy them." How come the people in the county know how to make arrowroot powder when the recipe is published? My family doesn’t sell dry arrowroot powder.”
Chen Xiaoqi said: “You. We don’t sell dried kudzu powder, but the government office has already been making kudzu powder. After five days of making it, the recipe has already been leaked to everyone in the county.”
Those people want to grab the money for the Dragon Boat Festival. After learning how to make arrowroot powder, he immediately asked his servants to make arrowroot powder, and then asked the chefs to study arrowroot powder cake. Within three days, arrowroot powder cake was available in snack shops in the county town.
"However, the color of their arrowroot powder cakes is not as good-looking as yours, and the price is still expensive. A piece of pastry costs three yuan for twenty cents," Chen Xiaoqi said.
"Such a black heart!" Mrs. Qin Liu was shocked, but she became proud again: "That's right, our Qin family is the ancestral family who eats kudzu. Naturally, we are better than those who stole the teacher, and our conscience is better than them!"
< br>But due to the lack of business, Qin Liupo couldn't help scolding the rich households in the county when she closed the stall and went home. Her words were so unpleasant that the dogs on the roadside wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.
When the family found out that arrowroot was already being eaten in the county, they were a little panicked.
Qin Xiaomi said: "Don't be afraid, they sell in the county and we sell in the town. They are far away, so the impact on each other is not big. Besides, there are so many people in Taifeng Town, and there are There are enough people in the two nearby towns for us to earn."
She patted her money bag and said with a smile: "We have made a lot in the past ten days, a total of fifty taels."
As soon as Fifty Liang said these words, the sad look on the big guy's face disappeared, and he was busy making kudzu powder again: "Xiaomi is right, we are doing business for the people in the town... It's almost the Dragon Boat Festival, people in the town I will definitely buy arrowroot cakes to give as gifts, we can sell them for a few more days.”
However, when the stall opened the next day, the town’s restaurant also sold arrowroot powder cake, and the waiter even shouted to the street where their stall was located: “Kudzu powder cake, the new five-color arrowroot powder cake from Taifu Restaurant, can eliminate five poisons, and then Five blessings, only ten cents each!”
Cang Dang!
Qin Liupo was angry, kicked a basket away, pointed the basket at the waiter at Taifu Restaurant and said: "Shameless, stealing from a master and showing off in front of the master, I think you are looking for a beating!" "
The restaurant waiter smiled and said: " Qin Liupo, don’t talk nonsense. Where did we steal the skills? The chefs in our restaurant went to the county to learn their skills, and the pastry chefs in the county learned their skills in the county government. If you don’t accept it, go to the county government. Let’s talk to the adults.”
He added: "Your family has presented the kudzu powder recipe to the county magistrate. Then it belongs to the county government. What the county government wants to do with it is all the county government's business. It has nothing to do with you. Don't think about buying this kudzu powder. Sell it!"
Qin Liupo was very angry, but the waiter was indeed right. She rolled her eyes and shouted at the top of her voice: "A portion of arrowroot powder cake in the sinister Taifu Restaurant costs ten cents. money, big Guys, please don’t buy it!”
Grandpa Qin said hurriedly: “Sixth brother and sister, don’t say this randomly. They are in a restaurant and they are more sophisticated than us, so the price will definitely be higher.”
Looked at Qin Laoliu again: "Bring your wife back quickly, do you still want to stay in this town?"
Those who can open restaurants in this town are definitely not ordinary people. It's better not to offend.
Qin Laoliu hurriedly went to Qin Liupo: "Stop shouting, do you still want to live a good life?"
Qin Xiaomi said: "Sixth Po, we do our business, they do theirs, Ignore it.”
However, Taifu Restaurant also sells kudzu powder, which really makes the town lively.
But just two hours into the excitement, it was overshadowed by another incident.
Dang, Dang, Dang!
The gong sounded, and the yamen servant from Silifang banged the gong and shouted: "The county magistrate sympathizes with the hard work of our farmers, and specially discloses the secret recipe of the new arrowroot powder and new grains. Every household who wants to use the new arrowroot powder to satisfy their hunger can go Look at the notice under the wooden sign at the entrance of the town, and there is a recipe for making arrowroot powder! ”
