Chapter 473: Buy a Cake to Celebrate

The relationship between her son and husband finally eased. Madam Cui happily picked up a century egg and placed it in her mouth.

The refreshing taste of the chili sauce rushed straight to her taste buds. It was not very spicy, but it was just right.

Madam Cui nodded in satisfaction. “It tastes good. I don’t think there’s a need to improve it. What do you think?”

Madam Cui could eat spicy food, but Cui Shiji could not take any spiciness. He tasted it and felt that it was very fragrant without the stimulation of chili. He nodded. “It’s moderately salty and spicy. There’s also a little burnt fragrance. I also think it’s just right.”

Madam Cui smiled and said, “In that case, I can let her know.”

Madam Zhao received everyone’s feedback one after another. It was just delicious.

Madam Zhao was very happy and even tried to add a new flavor to the original chili sauce.

Zhao Erwa took a bottle to the school to eat steamed buns, and the children fought over it.

Zhao Erwa thought of an idea and immediately set the price. One tael of silver per jar.

Since it was so expensive, the brats all fell silent.

Du Rui, a direct descendant of the Du family of Qinghe, slammed the silver on the table and shouted generously, “Give me ten jars!”

Zhao Erwa returned happily with the silver. He did not hide it and smiled like a cat stealing food. “Mother, look!”

Madam Zhao turned around. “Where did you get the silver?”

As Zhao Erwa spoke, he ironed his words. “My cla.s.smate especially liked your chili sauce, so he gave me a tael of silver and asked me to sell him ten bottles.”

Madam Zhao was shocked. “This is too much. It’s not worth so much money!”

Zhao Erwa smiled and said, “How much do you think is appropriate? I’ll return it to him later. I can’t give it to him for nothing, right?”

Ten bottles of gla.s.s jars and the ingredients would cost a lot.

Madam Zhao thought for a moment. “Then give him two more bottles!”

If not for the fact that gla.s.s jars were expensive, Madam Zhao would have given him at least a few more bottles.

When Zhao Lanzhi returned, Zhao Erwa bragged to her, “Sister, I helped Mother sell ten bottles of chili sauce for a tael of silver!”

Many ordinary workers only earned one tael of silver a month.

If it was placed on the market, no one would buy it.

Even if it was sold in a food store, compared to the cheap mushroom sauce, the price was quite high.

Zhao Lanzhi praised Zhao Erwa before asking Madam Zhao softly, “Mother, do you plan to sell it for one tael of silver per bottle?”

Madam Zhao sighed. “I don’t want to sell it at such an expensive price, but the cost of the gla.s.s bottle is higher. We can’t sell it at a lower price.” She said enviously, “The gla.s.s bottle in the food factory is even st.u.r.dier than the one I bought, but the price is so cheap.”

Zhao Lanzhi knew a lot about the production of the workshop. She explained, “The gla.s.s factory directly supplies to the food factory, so the intermediate costs are saved. Moreover, the food factory is purchasing in large quant.i.ties. The gla.s.s factory is selling at a low profit, so the cost of mushroom sauce is naturally lower.”

Madam Zhao sighed again. “We can’t just buy from the gla.s.s factory from the start, right? How could we sell so much?”

Zhao Lanzhi chuckled. “Mother, you’re confused. Previously, we didn’t have gla.s.s jars, so we used clay jars to store chili sauce. Pottery is cheap. If we buy more pottery, the cost will decrease.”

Madam Zhao felt that the clay jar was fine, but she said regretfully, “But the gla.s.s jar is so beautiful.”

“The gla.s.s jars are beautiful, but the most important thing is the taste! Moreover, even if the clay jars are beautifully designed, they are still very attractive. I’ll help you customize a batch of clay jars later. Don’t worry about this.”

Zhao Lanzhi found the ceramic factory. In a few days, a batch of clay pots was sent to the Zhao family.

Each small clay pot was printed with the words Wanyu Chili Sauce.

Madam Zhao was especially happy and could not stop smiling. “Why is my name printed on it?”

Zhao Lanzhi said, “This is called brand awareness. When everyone sees the jar, they will know that this is your chili sauce. They will definitely come because of its reputation in the future.”

Madam Zhao said proudly, “As long as we can earn a little money.”

Zhao Lanzhi encouraged, “Definitely!” Then she said, “Do you want to set up a stall tomorrow? I’ll help you find a stall.”

His daughter was really thoughtful. She was busy but she still took it to heart.

Madam Zhao shook her head. “Don’t worry. Your father has already helped me seek some information. You should be busy with your work. Don’t delay your matters.”

Zhao Lanzhi nodded. “Then I’ll arrange a carriage for you.”

Madam Zhao immediately said, “It’s not the first time your father and I have set up a stall. There’s no need for a carriage. Your father and I are just going to test the water tomorrow. We’ll carry a basket over.”

They had their own ideas, so Zhao Lanzhi did not ask further.

Madam Zhao and Father Zhao had previously been selling vegetables. That day, they were specially there to sell chili sauce, so they spent money to find a permanent stall.

They placed the bottles of chili sauce neatly and waited for a long time. The steamed bun stall beside them and the food stall had already opened, but their stall still had no crowd.

Madam Zhao and Father Zhao were very anxious. They thought about the reason why no one came. After a round of summary, they finally had an idea.

Old Master Zhao returned home and brought over a large jar of chili sauce. He also plucked some coriander, green onions, and garlic from the field, two baskets of small potatoes, and various seasonings. Madam Zhao went to buy some tofu pudding, century eggs, side dishes, steamed buns, and cooked meat. She borrowed someone else’s stove and poured the side dishes into water, mixing them into all kinds of tempting cold dishes.

Soon, the stall was filled with people.

Everyone looked at the rich dishes and couldn’t help but ask, “What are you selling?”

Madam Zhao said, “I’m selling my own chili sauce. Customers, you can try it first.”

Everyone decisively picked up toothpicks and tasted the free food.

It had to be said that the taste was really good!

Suddenly, someone said, “Give me a serving of this small potato, a serving of pig head meat, and this…” He didn’t even ask for the price. It seemed that it really suited his taste.

Madam Zhao’s eyes were glowing as she explained enthusiastically, “Sir, I’m selling chili sauce. If you like it, you can buy a bottle of chili sauce. When you get back, get your wife to make it for you. It’s very easy. You just need to put in chili sauce and some ginger, onions, and garlic.”

So she was selling chili sauce, not the cold dishes.

Although he did not have a wife, the cooking method was really simple. This person simply said, “Alright, give me a bottle.”

Madam Zhao and Father Zhao looked at each other and saw surprise in each other’s eyes.

After selling the first bottle of chili sauce, the second bottle, the third bottle… were sold one after another.

They thought that they would definitely not be able to sell all 50 jars of chili sauce that day. Unexpectedly, they were all sold out!

The amount they earned in a day was more than what they could earn from farming an acre of land.

Zhao Erwa ran over after school and realized that his parents were closing the stall. He immediately asked in surprise, “How is it? Is it all sold out?”

Madam Zhao nodded happily. “It’s sold out!”

Zhao Erwa immediately said, “Then let’s buy a cake to celebrate! We can give Big Sister a surprise later!”
