Chapter 156 1 It must be like this
"Manager. Can't you make more chili sauce in this restaurant?"
"There are so many people in the capital, you can't just ignore them."
"That's right! I come here every day to buy it, but there's nothing every time."
There were many complaints and discouraging words, but Manager Hua still had a smile on his face.
"Everyone, please be patient. This chili sauce is bought by our young master from other places, so the quantity is limited each time. It's first come, first served."
"I believe you are also wondering what this chili is. Yes, this chili is a fresh food. It can not only be made into chili sauce but also stir-fried. However, the amount of chili is not much, so the amount of sauce made is naturally not much. Please bear with me."
Fearing that the people would get angry and beat him, Manager Hua quickly repeated everything he could.
After listening to it, many people thought it made sense and gradually dispersed, saying they would come back tomorrow.
Even if they know there won’t be any tomorrow, they still come to ask, just in case?
At this time, Manager Hua, who had persuaded the people to leave, was just about to go in when a tall horse suddenly rushed towards him, raising dust all over his face.
"Puh, puh, puh!" Manager Hua kept spitting out the sand from his mouth and looked up angrily to see which blind guy was causing trouble on horseback at the door of the restaurant.
Suddenly meeting the solemn eyes of the man on horseback, Manager Hua's legs went limp and he knelt on the ground, "Wu Wu Wu Wu Wu... Marquis Wu'an."
People like him didn't originally know Marquis Wu'an. It was because when the young master bought strawberry seedlings from Miss Tang and cultivated strawberries to sell in the capital, Marquis Wu'an came to his house that night and asked where they came from.
Hua Fu was just a merchant, so he didn't dare to offend Marquis Wu'an. He could only tell him where the strawberries came from. However, Hua Run was still cautious and didn't mention Tang Qiyue's name. He just said that they came from a rural family in Linjiang Town.
Manager Hua was also there at the time. He memorized the appearance of Marquis Wu'an deeply in his mind and was afraid that he would offend an important person who should not be offended.
Who would have thought that today Marquis Wu'an would come directly to the restaurant.
Wu Anhou stared down at the trembling Manager Hua, his voice like a drum, his whole body exuding a chilling aura, "Do you have any chili sauce?"
Eh?
Manager Hua looked confused.
“Is there anything?” The overwhelming sense of oppression came over him again. Manager Hua immediately came back to his senses and said hastily, “No, no, no… No, my Lord.”
"There's only so much chili sauce left in the restaurant, and it's all sold out."
After the words fell, the man and horse in front of him galloped away, leaving only one sentence, "If there is any more, I will send 200 kilograms to the Marquis' Mansion."
Only when he could no longer see anyone did Manager Hua get up from the ground with weak legs and hurried to the second floor to look for Hua Run.
"Are you serious? Did Marquis Wu'an really want 200 kilograms of chili sauce? Did he ever say what he wanted to do?" Huarun looked puzzled.
Manager Hua also shook his head and said, "No."
"The Marquis said just this and left."
Hua Run touched his chin. Marquis Wu'an was a military general. He fought on the battlefield in his early years and led troops with great skill. It is true that he has returned to the capital to become a Marquis of Xiaosan now that he is old, but he still governs the soldiers in the military camp outside the capital and trains them back and forth all day long.
So what does Wu'an Hou want to do with the chili sauce?
Now the country is peaceful and the people are prosperous. Yongqing State has become the leader among several countries. Not only in terms of military strength but also in other aspects, other countries bow down to it.
So, China Resources suddenly thought of the idea of spreading chili sauce on steamed buns and eating them with rice, and he immediately had an epiphany!
"That must be it!" Hua Run clapped his hands fiercely. "Write to Tang Qiyue right away and ask her to increase the amount of chili sauce. She must increase it. Hahahaha, it's a success! It's really a success this time!"
Manager Hua looked puzzled and bewildered.
Hua Run did not hide it from him and told him what he guessed, "Marquis Wu'an values the soldiers he once led the most. Although he has returned to Beijing now, he still worries about the soldiers who are far away at the border to defend their country."
"So, he must have asked for chili sauce for the soldiers at the border, because just a little bit of our chili sauce can make a person eat a large bowl of rice, and can also be spread on steamed buns."
"Just think about it, if the soldiers have chili sauce, wouldn't it be much more convenient and better for them to eat?"
Upon hearing this, Manager Hua pondered over it secretly, and his eyes lit up, "Young Master is really smart."
"You don't even need to tell me that, hehe! Hurry up and write a letter to Tang Qiyue, but don't mention the matter of Marquis Wu'an. Just tell her that her sauce is now favored by an important figure, and ask her to hurry up and make a lot of it. Money is not a problem."
"Don't worry, sir. I'll do it right away."
...
Tang Qiyue knew nothing about the sensation caused by the chili sauce in the capital. Apart from going to the workshop once a day to see the workers' speed and the quality of the sauce, she was studying the meat sauce at home.
Fifteen workers, plus Lin, Aunt Fang and Zhao Sun, were divided into three teams to make three kinds of sauce.
Chili sauce takes a little time to make, and 50 kilograms can be made a day. Soybean sauce and mushroom sauce have been prepared in advance, and 100 kilograms of each can be made a day.
It needs to be fermented, which takes at least a hundred days. In order to ship on time every month, Tang Qiyue can only go to the workshop at night to move the sauce into the space.
The passage of time in this space is different from that outside, so fermentation can be faster and she doesn’t have to worry about not being able to ship the goods!
There are about twenty days left before the next visit from Manager Hua and Shopkeeper Li. Tang Qiyue carefully calculated the amount of sauce to be produced and it was barely enough.
However, she still felt that it would be better to recruit more people. Someone had to be found to do the job of picking peppers, and it would be much easier to just buy soybeans and mushrooms directly.
"Do you want to hire people to pick the red peppers in your field?" Village Chief Fu looked at Tang Qiyue who came to his house in surprise. After all, the villagers all remembered the last time they picked the peppers. It was the Tang family who picked them themselves.
Tang Qiyue nodded, "Village Chief, the sauce workshop needs a lot of peppers, and my family alone can't pick them all, so please find some quick-handed villagers in the village. It's three cents per pound, and you can earn as much as you pick. The more people, the better. It'd be best if we could pick them all in one day."
She roughly estimated that this batch of chili peppers was much larger than the previous one. She planned to use the rest to make chili meat sauce except for the chili peppers needed for one thousand kilograms of chili sauce.
That’s right, the latest meat sauce that Tang Qiuyue is researching is chili meat sauce.
In order to control the production of various sauces, she also decided to produce only 1,000 kilograms of chili sauce, 500 kilograms of soybean sauce and mushroom sauce, and only 500 kilograms of chili meat sauce each month.
There is no way. The current raw materials are only enough for this amount of production per month.
That afternoon, Village Chief Fu gathered all the hardworking and capable villagers, both men and women, and told them the wages and requirements given by Tang Qiyue. The next day, they took everyone and each of them carried a basket to pick peppers in the fields.
Tang Qiyue brought Tang Laosan and Zhao Yonghe with him, one to weigh the goods and the other to pay the wages.
The villagers who had made a lot of money from Tang Qiyue looked at Tang Qiyue with joy and respect in their eyes, except for the people from the Tang family.
Tang Lao Er was among them. He and Wu came out to do this together. The two of them picked about fifty kilograms of fruit a day and earned more than a hundred copper coins. They were very happy.
Tang Qiyue glanced at them but didn't stop them. As long as they didn't make trouble in front of her and behaved themselves, she would let them make money if they wanted to.
