Chapter 256: Bean Sauce
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Sister-in-law, don’t worry. The Fragrance Restaurant won’t ruin its reputation. Other people’s pickled cabbages are done every two to three days, but the price is also low. They can only sell for 20 copper coins per jar, but ours can sell for 100 copper coins per jar. The price itself is different.”
“Mother, you also know that our pickled cabbages are even more delicious. The Fragrance Restaurant belongs to the Xie family. They have always kept their promises and will not change them at will.”
“Let’s take the pickled cabbages as an example. There aren’t many cabbages left now, and the pickled vegetables can be preserved for a long time. The Fragrance Restaurant is the largest restaurant in the county, so it consumes them faster. They’ll need more in the future.”
“However, since you’re worried that you can’t sell them, then sell them all to the Fragrance Restaurant and let them keep them for themselves.” Ye Muyu changed her mind because she remembered that the Xie family had more than one branch of the Fragrance Restaurant.
The shops in other counties also needed pickled cabbages.
As for why the other party did not mention it, it was probably because they knew about her family’s situation and thought that the amount was not much. In addition to the cooperation regarding the soft fragrant cake shop, Xie Yu’s attitude would affect the attitude of the stewards below him.
It was just a popular dish, so it was not enough to catch the Xie family’s attention. Of course, the restaurant manager would definitely want to sell more, but unfortunately, he did not dare to offend the main family’s distinguished guests, so he could only continue to sell the fish with pickled vegetables in limited quantities.
As for Madam Han’s unfounded worries, Ye Muyu did not think she had the ability to change them. When the pickled cabbages business could continue, she did not need to guarantee anything. Madam Han naturally wouldn’t think about these things.
Old Madam Ye did not know what Ye Muyu was thinking. However, she had earned a lot of money recently because of her daughter. Naturally, the hesitation in her heart was dispelled.
“Mother, you can’t tell anyone else about this pickled cabbage recipe. This was agreed upon with the Fragrance Restaurant. If it were to be leaked, the Fragrance Restaurant’s profits would be damaged, and they wouldn’t accept any more pickled cabbages.” Ye Muyu had to be alert.
Originally, this pickled cabbage business was a way for her family to increase their income.
It is better to teach them to fish than to keep giving them money.
She kindly reminded them that it would be good if they could keep this business. Either way, she would rather be eliminated by the market than have her own family foolishly tell others the recipe and quickly destroy the way to earn money.
The former was natural.
The latter was a choice of stupidity.
Madam Han’s eyes flickered as she looked at Ye Muyu with a stammering expression. She looked at her clothes with envy, then at her own coarse clothes, her face full of sadness.
Seeing her reaction, Ye Muyu did not say anything. Madam Han’s personality was like this. She would rather talk to her calmly than argue with her.
“By the way, Mother, did you make bean paste at home? You can make more. The master of the Xie family likes the ones you sent to the Xie family last time. If you have more, you can take them out and sell them like pickled vegetables.” This bean paste was usually made by Old Madam Ye to eat with pickles.
In her eyes, it was not anything precious. When she heard Ye Muyu say that she could earn money, she felt that there was an opportunity. “Really? I thought you were the only one who liked to eat this. Other people have also made it. It shouldn’t be worth much, right?” Old Madam Ye said hesitantly.
“It’s delicious.” Ye Muyu’s name dispelled Old Madam Ye’s self-doubt.
She smiled smugly.”That’s true. Daughter, your culinary skills are the best. If you like it, others will definitely like it too.”
“Then I’ll go back and make more. I’ll plant more beans and red peppers this
year..”
