Chapter 1223 Spicy Braised Food
However, she felt that this highly spicy dish would not sell well, and people might be more cautious when buying the medium spicy dish, as they might think it was poisoning after eating it.
Thinking of this, he reminded, "This pepper is very spicy. If you eat too much, you will feel uncomfortable in your mouth and stomach. This is normal and will be fine after a while. Eating this can relieve symptoms such as spleen and stomach deficiency, cold and dampness stagnation, etc. It is good for the human body and is not a poison."
After thinking for a while, he said, "I can take this pepper to the doctor and ask him to write down the medicinal properties. This way, no one will be afraid."
If people think this stuff is poisonous, let alone spicy food, even the original flavor will probably not be sold. After all, who would buy food from a shop that sells poison?
The shopkeeper nodded, "I understand. I'll go now."
Zhou Guo gave him two bags of spicy food and said, "Take the money with you."
Who would agree to do something for free?
It is easy to get things done if you have money. After all, this thing is not poisonous. It is edible just like ginger. You can get five taels of silver by writing two sentences. Who wouldn't do it?
So the next day, spicy food was put on display in Yunzhou’s shop.
When a customer comes and sees a new product on display at the front, it is very different from the previous ones and he has never seen them before, so he naturally wants to know what they are.
When everyone heard that it was a new product, they would definitely try it. The braised food shop often has new products, such as edamame and tofu skin, and they all taste pretty good, so they would definitely try it.
The waiter said, "Sir, this contains chili peppers, which are spicier than dogwood. If you eat too much, your mouth will feel hot. This is normal. Just drink more water and it will be fine."
The man nodded. "I know. I've eaten dogwood before."
As a result, everyone wanted to try something new, so we made several kilograms and they were sold out in more than half an hour after opening.
Fortunately, Zhou Guo had the foresight to save some, especially for those who came later to try, because they couldn’t have never even seen it.
Most people can't stand it after trying it, but some people like it very much.
Everyone in the shop, from the shop owner to the odd-job clerk, was worried. "Master, is this possible? Most people don't seem to like it."
Zhou Guo said, "It's not like we're stocking all new products in the shop. We're just selling a little bit every day and selling as much as we can. The price of this spicy food is a couple of cents higher than before, so it's reasonable that it's not selling so well at the beginning."
Although the peppers are not sold outside, she has to make back the cost. Even if it costs two cents more per pound, the cost can be recovered at least.
Everyone nodded. It didn’t matter if it wasn’t selling well. They didn’t make money from new products, and the old products were selling well too.
After finishing the work here, Zhou Guo went to the dim sum shop for a look.
Everyone in the store was very happy to see her back, as they hadn't seen Zhou Guo for a year.
It is said that the shop's profits have been good this year, better than in previous years.
In recent years, everyone's life has been much better and they have extra money to buy these things. Although the bulk of the money every month still goes to the wealthy families, when she looks at the account books, she sees that the number of affordable snacks sold is increasing.
She has been to grain shops, mountain goods shops, and escort agencies.
Then she went to the government office with a bag of gifts. When Zhang Lian saw her, he was surprised and asked, "When did you come back?"
Zhou Guo said, "Don't be ridiculous. I've been back for so many days and have been in and out of the city gate so many times. Haven't you received the news yet?"
Zhang Lian didn't answer, but just said: "Look at you, you were clearly asked to escort the grain last year, but you didn't come back after the grain was delivered and the people were found. You stayed in the south for a year. Will you go out again when you come back this time?"
Zhou Guo nodded, "I still have to go. I won't be here for long this time, so I'll have to trouble you to take care of my family."
Zhang Lian was very happy and waved his hand, saying, "Don't worry about this. I will do it even if you don't tell me. In the year you were away, they were doing very well. No one dared to come and cause trouble for them."
Of course he was happy that Zhou Guo could use him.
The situation is becoming clearer and clearer. As long as nothing goes wrong, it's almost decided where the world will go. He can't stay in this place forever, and he's still thinking about moving up.
Zhou Guo accepted his kindness. In the north, families like the Wang family are big and have deep roots. If they really cause trouble in some places, their family may not be able to come up with any good solutions.
It would be much safer with Zhang Lian watching from behind.
The two talked a lot, and Zhou Guo even stayed for dinner.
When he left the house, Zhang Lian and his entire family saw him off.
He sighed as he watched her walking away.
Madam Fujun was puzzled, "Master, why are you sighing? Weren't we having a good chat?"
Zhang Lian said, "Next time we meet, I'm afraid we will have to bow to her."
By now, Zhang Lian already knew Zhou Guo's identity, but so what? Although she was born in the Zhou family, she was also Xu Anbei, a child recognized by the Xu family from top to bottom. Even if she was a biological child, she was treated like this. He sighed again.
Looking at his descendants, he said, "Sometimes, one person really can't be compared with another. Comparing with others will only make you angry to death!"
Zhang Lian was the chief official of a prefecture. Many years ago, Zhou Guo was still a refugee. In front of him, he could not see her at all. It was only a few years later, and his whole family had to look up to see her.
Good luck!
A bunch of descendants bowed their heads after hearing this. They really could not compare with them. A few years ago, they looked down on others, but now they have to rely on them.
Zhou Guo walked leisurely on the street with her hands behind her back. The lights were coming on. She had walked this road many times. She hadn't been back for a year. The road seemed the same, yet different.
The next day, she returned to Cangshan Village with her family.
Zhou Xing had already been waiting at home. When the two sisters met, they started talking to each other in a nice way.
After dinner, the family still stayed at the table.
Zhou Guo said: "While everyone is here, I want to discuss something with you."
His tone was too serious and his expression was too heavy. Although no one knew what had happened, everyone felt a pang in their hearts.
Zhou Gu looked at everyone and said, "You tell me, our whole family is here. No matter what happens, we will bear it together."
Everyone nodded.
Zhou Guo glanced at everyone's face and said calmly: "We can't continue to run our family's fat farm. We have to give it away."
The family never dreamed that she was talking about this.
Li said anxiously, "What's going on? Why can't we continue? Is someone forbidding us to sell fat? Are you at a disadvantage? Is it impossible even with your uncle here?"
This was something that Zhou Guo had worked day and night, forgetting to eat and sleep, and had put tremendous effort into making. He had put in so much effort, but now he has to give it to someone else?
How could she be willing to do this?
