A time-travelling peasant girl becomes a wealthy woman

It was not yet time for the guys to get off work, but there were already some people queuing up for food at the dock.

In front of Huang Mulin’s stall.

Thanks to the dock guys' publicity back home, many people in the town know that there is a stall selling boxed lunches at the dock. Although the prices are not cheap, the dishes are delicious, and there is plenty of brown rice. If you are not full, you can keep getting free refills.

Unheard of.

Some curious people came to try it, and after eating it, they all praised it and spread it to more people by word of mouth.

More and more people came to the dock stalls to look for food, and the dock workers were both regretful and angry because many people rushed in after work but still couldn't buy lunch boxes.

The Huang family only has fifty box lunches every day, and there are not enough to sell with so many people. These days, Huang Haolin has been thinking about discussing with Huang Mulin whether to increase the number of meals.

But if the number of portions is too large, they might not be able to make it as a family.

When Tang Qian and his companion arrived at the stall at the dock, they had already sold thirteen box lunches.

"Manager Tang."

Huang Haolin saw them as soon as he raised his eyes and immediately greeted them.

“Business is good.”

"It's all because of the kindness of everyone."

Tang Jide looked at the family curiously. The boy who was speaking in front of him looked only about ten years old, but he spoke so fluently.

It’s not easy.

"This is Huang Bo, this is the second oldest Huang Haolin, and this is the fourth oldest Huang Jinlin who can cook."

Tang Qian introduced them to each other, "This is my fifth brother, who came from our family. He can make the decision on what we wanted to discuss last time."

The two sides exchanged greetings, and Huang Bo's family waited in silence for Tang Qian's instructions.

"What did you cook today?"

"Roast pork with fermented bean curd." Huang Jinlin opened the lid of the wooden barrel to show them, "It's a different way to cook braised pork. Do you want to try it?"

"Well, just give us a few pieces to try."

"it is good."

Huang Jinlin took a clean bowl, scooped out a small half spoonful of meat, and handed over two pairs of chopsticks.

Tang Qian handed the bowl to Tang Jide and asked him to taste it first.

Tang Jide didn't hesitate and took a piece.

I put it to the tip of my nose and sniffed it. The meaty aroma was salty, and the olfactory sensation immediately turned into a taste experience after it entered my mouth.

What a special taste.

It's delicious.

The fermented bean curd prepared by Huang Mulin is not as strong-tasting as those sold in the market in his previous life. It is just slightly salty, and it is not too salty to be choking if you eat it alone.

A perfect dish to go with rice.

Tang Jide picked up another piece and suddenly felt that a bowl of rice would be nice.

“Is there any rice?”

"Yes." Huang Haolin hesitated a little, "It's brown rice, it's a bit irritating to the throat."

Judging from Tang Jide’s attire, he should be a son of a wealthy family and has probably never eaten brown rice.

"It's okay, give me one."

Huang Haolin did as he was told, scooped a spoonful of braised pork with fermented bean curd, a spoonful of stir-fried pork with mushrooms, picked up a piece of water spinach with chopsticks, and handed the full bowl to Tang Jide.

Tang Jide secretly thought that this boy had good foresight.

The stir-fried shredded pork with vegetarian mushrooms was thickened with starch, and the freshness and fragrance of the vegetarian mushrooms were not buried at all. The shredded pork was a bit crispy, was it fried first?

good to eat.

I picked up another piece of water spinach, and it turned out to be fried with fermented bean curd!

good to eat.

Tang Jide ate elegantly, not slowly, and without making any noise.

Seeing him like this, Tang Qian knew that he couldn't escape the matter, so he gave him twenty cents, ordered a meal, and started eating.

When Tang San came over, he saw Tang Qian and a young man having dinner.

He hurried over to greet her: "Boss."

"Hmm." Tang Qian had just swallowed the last bite of rice and said to Tang Jide, "This is Tang San, the dock manager." He then said to Tang San, "This is our young master."

"Master."

Tang San was startled and immediately bowed with both hands.

"No need to be polite."

It was Tang Jide’s first time to experience eating outside of a dining table, and eating while standing, which was quite interesting.

At that time, I was just thinking about tasting the food, but now I think I was being too much.

The demeanor of a young master is useless here.

“Is this your cooking?”

He still remembered that Tang Qian had specially introduced Huang Jinlin just now.

"I did it."

Huang Jinlin replied.

"Very good." He turned to look at Huang Bo, "There will be a banquet at noon tomorrow. Can you trouble Master Huang to bring his family to have a chat?"

"Sure, sure." Huang Bo quickly took over the conversation, "Mr. Tang, just call me Huang Bo. I will be there on time tomorrow at noon."

The two parties agreed on a time, and Tang Qian took Tang Jide to the dock for a walk and look around. Tang San hurried to catch up without having time to eat.

As soon as they left, the people who were eating lunch boxes nearby came over curiously and asked about the relationship between Huang Bo and Tang Qian, who that Mr. Tang was, and so on.

Huang Bo only said that the food from their family caught the Tang family's eye and they wanted some cooperation.

Both the diners and the stall owners nearby were extremely envious.

This small business has even been noticed by a noble person.

The Tang brothers patrolled for a while and then went back.

Although Tang San didn't have time to eat his lunch box, he was very happy to show his face in front of the young master of the Tang family.

"Sister." Huang Haolin returned to the embroidery shop and hurried to find Huang Mulin. "A young man came to the Tang family. His name is Tang Jide. He is said to be able to take charge."

"Tang Laowu?"

Yang Lijun was studying the new accounting method that Huang Mulin taught her. She raised her head after hearing what Huang Haolin said.

"Mother, do you know her?"

“It’s a little bit related.”

"Mr. Tang, let's go to Weimancheng for lunch tomorrow at noon to discuss cooperation on fermented bean curd."

"Well, it's okay, talk boldly."

Yang Lijun's words gave Huang Mulin and others a great reassurance, and then they went about their business.

Before noon the next day, Huang Bo brought Huang Haolin, Huang Jinlin and Huang Mulin to the appointment.

Is this the little girl that my second brother was talking about?

Tang Jide secretly glanced at Huang Mulin while the two were greeting each other.

She was wearing a white face scarf of good quality, so her face couldn't be seen, but her big watery eyes were particularly attractive.

The little girl pretended not to see it and took off her veil.

Tang Jide was startled, turned his head to look at Tang Qian, and saw him wink. He swallowed the surprise in his mouth, and the two sides got down to business.

All the requests raised by Huang Haolin were accepted, and Tang Jide and Tang Qian's attitudes were very friendly. Of course, the responsibilities that should be clarified had also to be made clear.

The Huang family is responsible for building the workshop, recruiting long-term workers, making fermented bean curd, canning the finished products, and ensuring food safety and quality.

The Tang family is responsible for a series of links including transporting the finished products to various places, storing the goods, pricing, sales, accounting, etc.

The profits earned were divided into four parts: Huang Jiarun got four and Tang Jiarun got six.

"I have a proposal."

Huang Mulin, who had been sitting next to him like a good boy, suddenly spoke.

"what?"

Everyone in the room looked at her.

"We can improve the formula and make something more expensive and more fragrant to sell to rich people."

Huang Mulin suddenly remembered that fermented bean curd could also be made into fried bean curd with vegetable oil.

She didn’t use oil at first because the cost of oil was too high and ordinary people couldn’t afford it. But now she not only sells to ordinary people, but also considers this method of making it more flavorful.

"Is there a finished product?"

When the Tang brothers heard this, they were happy but also a little anxious.

Huang Jinlin was also a little excited.

Huang Mulin shook his head. "I just thought of it, but I have a batch of semi-finished fermented bean curd at home that is almost done in the first stage. I can try it in a couple of days."

"It will take about half a month to produce a new finished product."

Tang Jide looked at Tang Qian, and Tang Qian nodded to him.

Huang Mulin also suggested that ordinary people could use the most common pottery jars, but if they were high-ranking officials, they would need to change to better-looking ceramic jars.

Linhai Town does not have such a large and uniform supply of good goods, so the Tang family needs to help solve the problem.

The Tang brothers once again expressed their gratitude for Huang Mulin's thoughtfulness and said that they could solve the problem of the ceramic jars and the cost would be borne by the Huang family.

"In addition, the Tang family has a restaurant business, and fermented bean curd is also used in cooking. It is difficult to calculate the profit based on the share." Huang Mulin said, "You need to calculate the total amount of fermented bean curd used by all the restaurants under the Tang family every month. I will charge this part of the money according to the market price of 25 coins per jar."

"no problem."
