Chapter 208 You Have to Hold Back Your Curiosity
When he heard that Tang Qiyue had a new sauce, China Resources immediately sent Manager Hua to buy some. No matter what kind of sauce it was, he wanted all of it without even tasting it!
Tang Qiyue was speechless. This guy must be addicted to making money. After knowing his price, Tang Qiyue priced the crab sauce without hesitation, "Three taels of silver per pound."
Then, she explained, "Does Manager Hua know what this crab is?"
Tang Qiyue was holding a crab tied with a rope in her hand.
Manager Hua stared at it and thought it looked familiar, but he also thought that the ones he had seen before were not this big. He rubbed his eyes and said, "Is this a crab?"
"Miss Tang, I'll be honest. Every day when we eat crabs, the young master will go to the crab farmers to buy a lot of them. As the manager, I can also get a few. I have to say that these crabs are delicious, but there is little meat, so it's troublesome to eat."
"But why is the crab in your hand so big? It's bigger than any I've eaten before."
Tang Qiyue nodded, "This... I raised it myself." Thinking of the pond full of giant crabs in the space, she understood for the first time what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot.
"Miss Tang is indeed a capable person. She can even raise crabs by herself. I admire you so much!" Manager Hua immediately clasped his fists and kept praising Tang Qiyue.
Tang Qiyue's face froze for a moment, and she raised her eyebrows at Xie Changjin beside her, muttering softly, "Is there any way to make him not be so... ahem..."
"Don't worry about it." Xie Changjin had a faint smile on his lips, unable to hide his doting.
Manager Hua seemed to realize that he was being too flattering, and quickly said, "Miss Tang, is the new sauce you mentioned made from this crab?"
"Yes."
"How much is there? Can I have a taste?" Manager Hua licked his lips, seeming very curious about the crab roe sauce.
Tang Qiyue did not hide it and turned around to go into the house and took out a porcelain jar, which contained the crab roe sauce.
As soon as the porcelain lid was opened, the bright yellow sauce came into view, and Manager Hua's eyes lit up. "This sauce is really good-looking and makes people quite appetizing!"
"Manager, have a try." Tang Qiyue pushed the porcelain jar in front of Manager Hua. The latter took a spoon and ate a full spoonful without needing anything else.
Tang Qiyue stared at it, gradually narrowing her eyes, and calculated that this spoonful should be worth a few hundred coins.
While Manager Hua was eating, Tang Qiyue explained in detail the pricing, taste, and benefits of the crab roe sauce.
"I didn't expect crabs to have such benefits. I've eaten a lot of crabs before, but I've never eaten crab roe! What a waste!" Manager Hua kept shaking his head. He immediately decided to tell China Resources everything Tang Qiyue said after returning to Beijing. Next time he eats crabs, he must not drop the crab roe!
This crab roe is delicious!
Tang Qiyue chuckled, "I don't have much crab sauce here, only about 100 kilograms, would you like all of it, Manager Hua?"
Manager Hua took out three hundred taels of silver without saying anything, "I want all of them, of course I want all of them."
It's only over 100 jin, and he still thinks it's too little! Go back and give the young master a portion for yourself, there's not much left in the restaurant.
Tang Qiyue took it and re-signed the crab roe sauce agreement with Manager Hua, then said calmly, "Crab roe sauce is not suitable for cooking, but it can be mixed with rice or noodles."
"Okay, okay, I'll remember it!"
"I can't confirm the date for the next batch of crab paste, but I'll notify the steward if it's available."
"Good good."
Finally, before leaving, Manager Hua bought fifty large crabs from Tang Qiyue and took them away. Tang Qiyue gave him a friendly price of five taels of silver.
You have to know that her crabs are raised in her own space, so they are big and have plenty of roe. A few hundred coins for one crab is still considered cheap!
"July, where do you keep your crabs?"
Tang Qiyue was stroking the three hundred taels of silver in his hand. Hearing this, he paused, coughed lightly, and said, "Why are you asking this?"
Xie Changjin approached her slowly and made eye contact with her. "Curious."
"It's a secret." Tang Qiyue leaned back and a big hand grabbed her waist and pulled her forward.
Tang Qiyue couldn't avoid it, so she could only put her hand on someone's strong and broad chest, "You have to endure your curiosity and not tell you."
After saying that, she pushed him away with force and escaped from his arms.
After running a long distance, Tang Qiyue patted her chest. She was so scared. Xie Changjin's look just now almost made her lose her secret. No, the crabs in this space must be dealt with as soon as possible!
Xie Changjin looked at her hurriedly running back, lowered his eyes and smiled softly. If she didn't want to say it, he wouldn't keep asking. He would wait until the day she was willing to tell him.
He believed that day would come.
At noon, Tang Qiyue prepared a crab feast. Song Wanyu ate crab roe noodles while her son helped her cut crab claws. She drank the scented tea Tang Qiyue brewed and couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't know there was such a way to eat crabs?"
"Especially the crab roe sauce, it tastes really good when mixed with noodles." She was the wife of the Marquis. She would follow Marquis Wu'an into the palace for palace banquets. She had eaten crabs a few times, but she had never eaten them as carefully as she does now. There is a world of difference.
"Qiyue, are you saying that you made this crab roe sauce yourself? And you raise crabs yourself?"
Tang Qiyue nodded, "Yes, ma'am, I built a sauce workshop myself, and there are all kinds of sauces in it. This crab roe sauce is my latest research."
The more Song Wanyu listened, the more she liked Tang Qiyue. She also felt that the sauce sounded familiar. "Chili sauce has become popular in Beijing recently. Could it be that you made the bean paste and mushroom sauce?"
"It's me." Tang Qiyue felt there was nothing to hide.
"You are such a smart and good child. Suddenly I feel that my son is not worthy of you." Song Wanyu held Tang Qiyue's hand, very excited. Others might not know how the sauce is doing in the capital, but she is in the capital. She has heard about how popular the sauce made by Tang Qiyue is among the people and nobles during this period.
Tang Qiyue felt a little embarrassed by what she said, and she coughed lightly and said, "Madam, you are too kind."
Xie Changjin was gently feeding Zhao Bao noodles. His face darkened when he heard this. His mother was not here to help him, but to hold him back.
Song Wanyu seemed not to notice her son's dark face. "I have to eat the chili sauce you made once a day. I can't sleep if I don't eat it."
That's really an exaggeration, ma'am.
"Now this crab sauce is also to my liking. Qiyue, do you have any left at home? Please sell some to me when I return to Beijing."
Tang Qiyue waved her hand, "Madam, if you want, just take it directly, no need to sell it."
She still had about ten kilograms of crab roe sauce in her space.
"No, this is your way of making money." Song Wanyu tilted her head and said, "Linlang."
Linlang immediately stepped forward, took out a silver note of 100 taels and placed it in front of Tang Qiyue, "Miss Tang."
"Here's the money I'm going to use to buy this sauce. Take it."
Tang Qiyue looked at Xie Changjin for help, but the latter pretended not to see anything. She narrowed her eyes and simply accepted the banknote, thinking that she would keep busy tonight and make some crab roe sauce for Song Wanyu.
