Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

I stayed at Qing'an Hotel for one night yesterday.

Xu Wenyan opened his eyes slightly, looked at Chen Sanlin who was still sleeping beside him, and stroked his eyebrows with his fingers.

It's rare to see him staying in bed, maybe he was really tired last night.

I slowly got up and saw the waiter was already cleaning the guest room.

There are seven or eight pumpkins in the kitchen, so let’s eat them all today.

While making pumpkin pie, Xu Wenyan was thinking that he couldn't always make this kind of snack. Although it sold well and was almost sold out as soon as it was made, the profit was too little.

The house has not been renovated yet and the breeding area has not been expanded yet, so he is really anxious.

There are four children in the family, so each of them should have his or her own room in the future.

Maybe Luo Sanyuan's damn kid will even marry into my family, and as the head of the family, I'm really worried.

We must launch big dishes. For example, making money with just a few dozen cents now is too slow. We can sell dairy products at a higher price in the future.

As for the main dish, Xu Wenyan can only think of chicken at the moment. The chickens in their family are semi-wild chickens, and the taste will be slightly different from the domestic three-yellow chickens.

Relatively speaking, the meat is firmer. When Xu Wenyan mentioned this, he thought of a dish of braised chicken with sour beans from his hometown.

That chicken is the signature dish of Xu Wenyan's sister-in-law. Her sister-in-law is very lazy and usually cooks very casually. She only uses this signature dish during the Chinese New Year and other festivals.

Although Xu Wenyan could only eat one or two pieces of chicken each time, the taste was truly amazing.

The main ingredient is mountain pepper, and it is because of this mountain pepper that Xu Wenyan can think of the dish he has been craving for, braised chicken with sour beans.

Moreover, the kitchen is short of staff. There is only one chef, and he needs to make the signature dish of Qing'an Hall. Although Xu Wenyan's ramen is very popular, the chef is busy alone.

Now we must recruit another helper.

"Xiao Jia." Xu Wenyan shouted to the outside.

"I'm coming."

Xu Wenyan handed him a fried pumpkin pie and said, "Now that business is good and the kitchen is busy, how about I hire another helper?"

"Okay, brother, you can do whatever you want." Jia Anqing finished a pumpkin pie in two bites. Xu Wenyan was busy yesterday and didn't make the pie much. It tasted really unique today.

"How do you plan to pay the workers?" After all, Jia Anqing is still the real owner of Qing'an Pavilion, and he is the one who decides on the wages.

Jia Anqing thought for a moment and replied, "Chef Wang's monthly salary is ten taels of silver. How about I set a salary of three taels for this assistant chef?"

Xu Wenyan nodded: "Well, it's quite suitable. I plan to let my cousin help in the kitchen. What do you think?"

"It's Miss Zhou, right? She works honestly and carefully, I think she's suitable."

The two of them decided on this matter for the time being, and Xu Wenyan would discuss it with Zhou Rong after returning today.

At the same time, he has to use the money to expand the chicken farm and sheep pen. The current pens are a bit crowded, and the rabbits also need to be moved out. In the future, Xiaohua and the old mule will live in the pen at home.

After some tidying up, the black bear's den was also put into the pen.

These one hundred and fifty taels were just enough to build a ranch hut and renovate the house.

The house needed to be expanded, so at this time we could only lower the budget. The roof tiles had to be made of stone tiles, and then two houses would be added to the right side of Chen Sanlin’s old house.

The room on the left was given to Xiaoman. Luo Sanyuan was the one who was coming over. Xu Wenyan knew what kind of person he was.

The house on the right is for you, Rong Xiaoliu and Rongrong, and the other one is for Chen Dong and Chen Xiaohua.

It is also a two-story building.

This way, even if someone comes to visit in the future, there will be room for the guest room.

With this expansion, the main courtyard has become bigger. Xu Wenyan plans to grow side vegetables in the front yard, such as coriander, garlic, onions, ginger and the like.

Xu Wenyan hasn't gotten the radish seeds yet, so he has to plant half an acre of them later.

Xu Wenyan was just thinking about it when the waiter ran in: "Shopkeeper Xu, someone is looking for you outside. It's the guy with the scar on his forehead from last time."

"Okay, I understand. Help me control the heat."

Zhan Laowu was standing at the door on the first floor, and the person next to him was Su Cheng.

Xu Wenyan had seen this middle-aged man before. Chen Sanlin had saved his daughter, Su Ziqing.

"Hello, Mr. Su." Xu Wenyan invited the two to sit down.

"Do you know each other?" Now it was Zhan Lao Wang's turn to be confused. He only knew this one businessman, but he didn't expect that he and Xu Wenyan also knew each other.

Su Cheng nodded: "Haha, this is Xu Wenyan, I didn't expect you to be the owner of Qing'an Pavilion. Su is really honored, honored."

"I'm not the shopkeeper, the one at the counter is." Xu Wenyan waved his hand and said, "I think Mr. Su must have heard the news from Zhan Laowu. I won't say much. I'll just cook you a bowl and you can decide."

"well."

Xu Wenyan knew that no matter how many polite words he said, it would not be as good as direct action. What people valued was the product, not personal relationships. If this thing had no business potential, no amount of personal relationships would be of any help.

Xu Wenyan was very confident about this potato flour, because in ancient times, food preservation was a big problem, and this potato flour could be preserved for several months without any problems.

It also meets the standards for long-distance transportation.

Soon, a bowl of translucent white noodles was brought up by Xu Wenyan.

It was the first time that Su Cheng had seen this kind of thing. It looked like noodles but it was not noodles. He could already smell the fragrant aroma when it was brought in front of him.

I picked up the chopsticks and couldn't wait to take a bite. The noodles were chewy and springy, and paired with the spicy soup, it was simply too addictive.

At first, Su Cheng tasted it in small bites, but later, perhaps because he was hungry, he finished the bowl of potato noodles in a few bites: "Shopkeeper Xu's potato noodles are really unique, I have never eaten such a mellow and fragrant... This is called noodles, right?

We used to eat noodles, but this is the first time I’ve eaten rice noodles. The taste is novel and we will definitely make a lot of money if we sell it in the north!

And the spicy taste is rare here, not to mention the side dishes inside. "

It can be said that this potato flour is deeply loved by Mr. Su. He is engaged in the transportation of goods between the north and the south and earns the local price difference.

This was his first time in Feng County, and up to now he had only managed to negotiate the silk cloth business here. He originally thought that he could only make a small profit today.

But when he tasted the potato flour, Su Cheng knew that this year's trip to Fengxian was really a waste of time.

He is a genuine northerner, and the taste of this noodles is exactly to his liking, so he must make this deal.

"Shopkeeper Xu, I wonder what price we buy this noodles at?" Su Cheng realized that he was a little rude and asked after putting down his bowl and chopsticks.

As for this problem, Xu Wenyan had already thought about it. A pound of potatoes costs only one cent. Ten pounds of potatoes can produce three or four pounds of potato starch and about four pounds of potato flour.

Excluding the ten cents for potatoes and the labor cost, which can be basically ignored, the factory now has thirty people and can produce several hundred kilograms of potato flour a day.

After the deal was agreed, Xu Wenyan would process the fees at 25 cents a day, which would mean 20 taels a month for 30 people.

"A pound of potato flour is seventy cents. I can supply it for a long time."
