SFS Chapter 186 Chili Minced Pork Sauce
Chapter 186 Chili Minced Pork Sauce
Grandpa Sun and his father transplanted all the fruit trees in the backyard to the front mountain, which took them nearly half a month.
Tang Qiyue would go to see them almost every day. After seeing their skilled operation, she felt that she had a very good eye for selecting people. Her fruit trees would finally grow well, and she would be able to eat fresh, juicy and sweet fruits soon.
She also thought that if there was a bumper harvest of fruits, she would open a fruit shop in the town. You know, many of the fruits she sold were things that people here had never seen before, so she would definitely make a lot of money.
However, Tang Qiuyue still has to consider what fruits to grow next season. Watermelons must be planted as they are indispensable in summer.
There is no extra land in the front mountain that can be used to grow watermelons, and there is not much land at home either, which makes Mr. Tang worried. Does he have to buy a few acres of land to grow watermelons?
Before she could think about it carefully, Tang Qingshu went home on vacation. Originally, the teacher of the academy didn't want him to go home because he wanted him to take part in the autumn examination in the second half of the year. But who knew that he did so because he ate the chili sauce given by Tang Qingshu.
Now that the chili sauce is finished, we have to let the person go back!
Tang Qiyue was excited when she heard that her elder brother was going to take part in the autumn examination. Although it was only a local examination, she believed that her elder brother would be able to get a good ranking.
When he heard that his elder brother came back for the chili sauce, Tang Qiyue took out ten cans of the new chili meat sauce he had researched without saying a word, and also took out ten cans of chili sauce and bean paste and mushroom sauce.
"Sister, I don't need so much." Tang Qingshu said as he took out some silver and put it in Tang Qiyue's hand, "Take a look and see if this silver is enough."
Tang Qiyue didn't push the silver back, but stuffed it into his sleeve pocket, "That's enough, big brother."
After a pause, she continued, "Brother, this is the new chili minced meat sauce. Bring it to your classmates to try. If you have any comments, remember to tell me."
Tang Qiuyue did not hide her research on the new sauce from her family, but the sauce was not ready before so she did not bring it out for everyone to taste. Now is the perfect time.
When they heard that it was a new sauce, and it was made with meat, Tang Lao San and the others all gathered around. Seeing this, Tang Qiyue simply opened a can of chili meat sauce and poured it into a bowl, letting everyone try it.
"This sauce... is delicious! It tastes better than chili sauce. I think it can be used as a signature dish!" Lin San scooped a large spoonful of the sauce mixed with chili and minced meat into his mouth. He didn't care whether it was spicy or salty. He just chewed it a few times and swallowed it.
When Tang Qiyue saw this, she was so upset that her face was covered with black lines on her forehead, but she was not afraid of choking.
Tang San also nodded, "This contains real meat, so the price should be more expensive than the other three sauces, right, girl?"
"It's a bit more expensive." Tang Qiyue tapped the lid of the porcelain jar, "So, one tael per pound."
"Wow..." Lin San stopped immediately as he was about to take a spoonful of food. "Then this spoonful of food will only be worth 100 wen, right?"
Tang Qiyue glanced at him and said, "Almost."
Tang San put down his chopsticks and said with some worry, "My girl, one tael of silver per pound, isn't that a bit too expensive? What if we can't sell it?"
"Sell it out, sell it out!" At this time, a man ran in from outside the yard. It was Shopkeeper Li.
Shopkeeper Li ran out of breath. After he recovered, he picked up the chopsticks on the table and started eating the chili meat sauce, nodding his head. "Don't worry about not being able to sell it. I want it. Not to mention one tael of silver per can, I'll take it even if it's ten taels."
There is meat in here, and it is not expensive at one or two taels of silver.
Besides, if he resells it or adds it to the dishes, he can make more than just one or two taels of silver, it's a sure profit!
Tang Qiyue could not guess what was going on in Shopkeeper Li's mind, and smiled, "Shopkeeper Li, it's such a coincidence that you came."
"What a coincidence! I came here specially." Shopkeeper Li put down his chopsticks reluctantly and looked at Tang Qiyue. "I came here this time to ask you if you could give me some of the sauce in the workshop. My restaurant is in great need of it."
Others were surprised. How could this chili sauce be so popular? Is it in short supply?
Tang Qiyue thought for a while and said, "If Shopkeeper Li needs it, he will have to wait for three days." The chili sauce that was first made should be ready in the next two days.
Shopkeeper Li hurriedly took out a banknote and said, "Miss Tang is a good person. Take this banknote."
Taking the banknote, Tang Qiyue said bluntly, "Manager Li should know how many kilograms of sauce this banknote can buy?"
"I know, I know. Just give it as you see fit, Miss Tang."
With an income of 100 taels today, Tang Qiuyue immediately took the 50 kilograms of chili pork sauce she made back to Manager Li. The sauce in the workshop would have to wait at least two or three days before it could be delivered.
As for China Resources, he estimated that he would have to wait until the end of the month to come, so Tang Qiyue was not in a hurry.
In the afternoon, Tang Qingshu was sent to Linjiang Town by Tang Lao San in a donkey cart. Xu Fang and Hu Lao Da also left with him. They were going to start escorting again.
Tang Qiyue was not stingy either. He gave each of the two men several kilograms of chili meat sauce and other sauces, so that they would not have to eat biscuits and tasteless buns while escorting the caravan.
The house was quieter again, but Tang Shuyao had made a new friend in the past two days, Sun Guoguo. Tang Qiyue also gave the little girl a rabbit doll so that they could play together.
For this, Sun's mother came specially to thank Tang Qiyue. Because she gave him a can of milk powder from time to time, the two-year-old Sun Haoshu can already walk and can walk a long distance without anyone to accompany him. He also looks a lot whiter and tenderer.
Mrs. Lin heard about the hardships of the Sun family, so every time Sun Guoguo came to play at home, she would grab some candy or food for her and bring it back home to share with Sun Haoshu.
Now, Grandpa Sun and his family have regarded Tang Qiyue as their savior. If it weren’t for her help, they would have starved to death or been forced to death by debt collectors.
Because Tang Qiyue helped them pay off all their debts, now the biggest creditor of Grandpa Sun's family is Tang Qiyue. With an income of eight taels of silver a month, they can pay it off in about a year.
Tang Qiyue would not urge them. As long as they took good care of their fruit trees, everything else would be fine.
...
The seedlings in the rice fields have grown up, and the fish fry have also grown up.
This is what the villagers who pass by Tang’s fields say every day. Each of them has an expression of shock and disbelief on their face. They never thought that raising fish in rice fields is actually possible.
I used to see the Tang family feeding the fry some fish food every day, and I always thought it was unnecessary. This time I felt really slapped in the face!
Tang Qiyue curled her lips, remembering the bet she made with Sun a month ago. She immediately asked Tang Lao San to find Village Chief Fu.
The others also remembered the bet, and their faces were filled with excitement. They were all curious about what Tang Qiyue would ask Sun to do, and they were even more looking forward to seeing Sun's look as if the sky had fallen.
At this time, Sun was being scolded by Old Lady Tang for being lazy at home. He had no memory of the previous bet and had long forgotten it.
Ever since the villagers came to make trouble last time, the people in Old Tang’s family have not gone out of the house. They all stay in their thatched huts and sleep soundly, for fear of being come and find by the villagers again.
Except for the sisters Tang Taohua and Lanhua who went out to dig wild vegetables every day, and Tang Laoer who went to the town to find work under the cover of night, everyone else acted like a big boss.
The new house of Village Chief Fang's family has been built and they have moved out long ago. Other villagers are also busy building new houses. They do not have as much money as Village Chief Fang's family, so they can only build a few small houses.
But even so, it is better than staying here in the thatched cottage and watching the Tang family quarreling and making trouble all day long.
