A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Zhang Yunyue left the reception room and went to the big kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks, filled them with crispy whistles, pork chili oil, and chicken chili oil, then carried the tray and returned to the reception room.

Zhang Yunyue placed the tray on the table, handed the chopsticks to Cao Shiyang and Dong Sheng, and raised his hand to signal them: "Manager Dong, Manager Cao, you two can try it and give us your opinions."

After saying that, Zhang Yunyue sat opposite the two of them.

Cao Shiyang and Dong Sheng each picked up a piece of crispy scallops, pork chili oil and chicken chili oil and started to taste them.

"How do you guys like the taste?"

"Yes, pork chili oil and chicken chili oil have their own flavors, but they shouldn't be used for cold dishes like chili oil. I didn't expect the girl to think of this. If you go out, bring two bottles of chili oil.

Paired with porridge, noodles, and steamed buns, it can add some flavor to the journey and make it less boring. As for this crispy whistle, it is also good, with a different aroma, crispy and fragrant, and can be used as a side dish for wine."

"Manager Cao, Manager Dong, this pork chili oil and chicken chili oil are both suitable for eating noodles. If paired with crispy whistles, the noodles will taste richer. Crispy whistles can also be used to make soup.

Stir-frying is also possible. As for whether there are other methods, I believe the chefs at Tianxianglou will be able to figure it out."

"Thank you Miss Zhang for your recognition of Tianxianglou's chef, but I believe Miss Zhang's cooking skills are not inferior. After all, she can make something like chili oil."

Zhang Yunyue smiled and shook her head: "Manager Cao, you are joking. I don't have that much ability. I just like to tinker with it." Seeing that the topic had gone off track, she quickly turned the topic back: "Are you two interested in these three new products? Of course, if you can't decide, you can take some back and ask your boss for permission."

Cao Shiyang thought about it carefully and realized that he really couldn't make the decision. After all, he was just a shopkeeper in a county town:

"Okay, let's do as Miss Zhang said. We'll bring 10 kilograms of each and we'll get back to you next time."

Zhang Yunyue nodded: "In that case, let's not waste time and start weighing the chili peppers now."

"it is good."

Zhang Yunyue stood up and raised her hand to signal Cao Shiyang and Dong Sheng to go out:

"Then let's go to the yard to weigh them. You two can go to our warehouse to see how much you need. In the past few days, our workshop has boiled about 2000 kilograms of chili oil."

Cao Shiyang and Dong Sheng followed Zhang Yunyue into the warehouse, which was filled with pottery jars: "Miss Zhang, why do I smell not only the smell of oily chili peppers, but also the smell of fresh chili peppers."

"It's like this, Shopkeeper Cao, Shopkeeper Dong, we made a new kind of pickled chili yesterday, but it has to be sealed and fermented for more than half a month for best results. It can also be used in a wider range of ways than oiled chili, and can be kept for one or two years. When the time comes, I'll let you taste it when you come again."

"I see. I must try it then. By the way, since Miss Zhang prepared more chili oil this time, we will order more. We have six carriages here. Apart from the carriages of Manager Cao and I, there are still five carriages left. Let's load these five carriages."

"Okay, I'll get someone to weigh it right away."

After saying that, Zhang Yunyue went to the noodle pounding room and called five or six people to the warehouse to help with lifting and weighing.

It took more than half an hour from moving it out of the warehouse, weighing it, to loading it onto the carriage.

Zhang Yunyue took the paper with the weight recorded on it back to the reception room. Cao Shiyang and Dong Sheng were sitting opposite her and watching Zhang Yunyue drawing something with a pen. They didn't understand what she was doing, but they didn't disturb her.

After waiting for a while, Zhang Yunyue looked up and gave the calculated weight and amount to the other party.

"Manager Cao, I have already calculated it. The total weight this time is 1991 jin, a total of 99 taels and 550 wen. You two can also calculate whether there is any problem with the weight and amount," said Zhang Yunyue, handing the abacus prepared in the reception room to Cao Shiyang.

Cao Shiyang took the paper and abacus handed over by Zhang Yunyue and started tapping away. After a while, he finished the calculation, and it was exactly the same as Zhang Yunyue's.

"Miss Zhang, there is no problem with the weight and the amount. I just didn't expect that the time I calculated with an abacus would not be shorter than the time you used without an abacus. I admire you. I wonder what kind of calculation you used."

"Manager Cao, you are joking. It is just a simple algorithm that I made up just to be lazy. It is not worth mentioning."

“Hahahahahaha, Shopkeeper Cao must have been surprised by Miss Zhang’s move. The last time I came here, I saw Miss Zhang calculate so quickly and without any problems. I was also shocked.”

"It turns out that Shopkeeper Dong has seen it before. No wonder. I saw that Shopkeeper Dong was very calm. I was thinking, am I making a fuss out of nothing? Hahahaha."

Zhang Yunyue shook her head and smiled a modern professional smile, "Excuse me, the two shopkeepers. By the way, as for the 10 kilograms of pork and chicken chili oil, and the crispy whistle, just treat them as samples for Tianxianglou. What do you think?"

"Miss Zhang is indeed generous and forthright. I will reply to you as soon as possible after the boss responds."

After saying that, Manager Cao took out the silver note from his purse again, and this time he gave him a silver note of 100 taels.

Zhang Yunyue took the banknote and returned the five cents to Cao Shiyang, smiling and saying, "Manager Cao, forget about the fifty cents. We have dealt with each other so many times, there is no need to be so stubborn."

Cao Shiyang nodded. After all, there was no need to worry about the price of one pound of nearly two thousand kilograms of chili peppers. "What the girl said is right, so let's do as she said."

"Miss Zhang, we'll leave first. We still have to deliver the goods to the county town today."

"Okay, I'll see the two shopkeepers out, please." Zhang Yunyue raised his hand and led Cao Shiyang and Dong Sheng out of the workshop.

"You two walk slowly."

"Farewell."

After saying that, Cao Shiyang and Dong Sheng got on the carriage and left with their group.

As soon as the people from Tianxianglou left, Zhang Yunyue turned around and took Grandma Zhang's arm and said coquettishly, "Grandma, do you know? We sold almost 100 taels of chili oil today, hehe."

Hearing what Zhang Yunyue said, Grandma Zhang opened her eyes wide and looked at Zhang Yunyue: "Ah, so many? Tianxianglou is really a wealthy family."

"Actually, it's not that bad. After all, Tianxianglou has hundreds of stores in the entire Yuanqi Country, so for them, this is really not a lot."

"I see."

"Grandma, you continue to guard here. I'll go in first."

"Go, go." Grandma Zhang waved towards Zhang Yunyue.

Zhang Yunyue walked into the workshop, looked at the people in the big kitchen, and went to the noodle pounding room to see the chili noodles being pounded. Seeing that everything was fine, he sat in the workshop yard to think about things.
