Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

Chapter 144: 3 pounds of potatoes and 1 pound of corn

Qiao Jianer said, "We fry them into potato cubes and sell them. Two taels is five coins, and one catty is ten taels, which is twenty-five coins."

In the ancient times corresponding to the world she came from, one catty was sixteen taels, but in Daze Country, one catty was ten taels, which was convenient for conversion.

"Vegetarian dishes, twenty-five cents per pound." Boss Cai pondered.

It’s almost twice as expensive as meat.

Then Qiao Jianer made another analysis. The accommodation and travel costs of foreign businessmen were all charged to her, and the total cost was so high when added up layer by layer.

Boss Cai quickly figured it out. If someone can make money, does it matter how much money he spends?

"No bargaining? Can you make it a little less?"

Qiao Jianer shook her head: "If you buy more, the total price can be reduced."

"How long can it be kept?" Boss Cai thought of this key question.

"One month is fine."

Boss Cai made a quick decision: "Then give me 300 kilograms."

"Okay, two hundred catties is exactly seven and a half taels of silver. Since it's hard to round off, I'll give Mr. Cai an extra ten catties."

Qiao Jianer was beaming with joy. This way, he could make money much faster.

Moreover, it is much more convenient to communicate directly with the boss than to find the shopkeeper. Shopkeeper Hu doesn't want many peanuts, so he may have to go to the boss to report.

"Boss Cai, there is this thing called corn. It smells delicious when fried. Would you like to buy some?" Qiao Lianer picked up a peeled corn cob. Fried glutinous corn is also a delicacy. Moreover, the corn grown in her space weighs more than half a pound each. The grains are full and come in many colors. They look good when fried too.

Boss Cai was interested in the potatoes, a new ingredient he had never seen before, and said, "Cook them for me to try."

Dacheng picked up a corn cob and started shelling the kernels, and soon he had a whole plate of them.

Heat the oil, add the seasonings, pour in the corn kernels, add salt when they are almost cooked, then remove from the pan and serve.

Qiao Jianer handed the spoon to Boss Cai.

"Boss Cai, corn tastes better if you eat it with a spoon."

Boss Cai scooped up a spoonful and was so delicious that he nodded repeatedly, "It's delicious."

"What's the price?"

"We sell them by the boiled or roasted piece, five cents each, and each weighs about half a pound. So, a pound is ten cents."

It makes sense that corn is cheaper than potatoes because corn has a large kernel that takes up a lot of weight, and the outer skin takes up at least half of the weight.

But Boss Cai calculated in his mind that one potato was enough for one plate, which cost twelve cents to serve, and two corns were enough for one plate, which also cost ten cents, so the profit was actually about the same.

“How long can this last?”

"In terms of freshness, corn can be kept for five days."

"Okay, then let's get a hundred pounds."

Boss Cai saw that there were other ingredients, but he had already bought two. If these two sold well, he would consider other things.

One hundred pounds of corn is exactly one ounce, plus the money earned from selling potatoes, the total is eight and a half ounces, and adding the money earned from selling peanuts, the total is eleven ounces.

Boss Cai took out a silver note with a face value of ten taels, and added a silver ingot of one tael.

This was the first time that Qiao Jianer touched an ancient silver note. This one was of small denomination, and there was an even smaller one of five taels.

The ticket office for withdrawing money is on the central street and it is a time-honored brand.

They made money too quickly! Everyone in the Qiao family was extremely excited. They didn't know how much they would make today.

"Brother Da Meng and Brother Xiao Meng, let's help Boss Cai carry these things back." said Qiao Lianer.

Selling these ingredients alone is not enough, she is also thinking about selling recipes.

"to make."

The two of them were having a great time, one carrying potatoes and the other carrying corn.

There was someone sitting at a small table eating peanuts and drinking wine. Boss Cai couldn't help but take a second look.

This thing seems to go well with alcohol.

Oh, don’t worry, let’s wait and see the results first.

"Boss Cai, there are dozens of ways to cook potatoes. If you rely on yourself to figure it out, it may take you one or two years." Qiao Jianer also followed and said.

"Oh, tell me about it." Boss Cai seemed very interested in this topic.

Jiuweilou's business has not been doing well in the past six months. He has thought of many ways to save it, such as lowering prices and changing the taste, but none of them have much effect.

So when he saw these delicious ingredients, which he had never seen before, he regarded them as a life-saving straw.

Qiao Jianer said, "Dozens of recipes are being given to Boss Cai for free."

Boss Cai immediately understood and laughed: "Girl, you not only sell me ingredients, but also the recipe."

"We are all businessmen, Boss Cai and I are businessmen too. Although my family runs a small stall, if the recipes can bring profit to Boss Cai, it will be of great benefit to us."

"Then tell me how you plan to sell it."

Qiao Jianer said, "My requirements are not high. Five taels of silver per recipe is enough. I will write twenty recipes for the most popular and delicious dishes. The restaurant will make them in different ways to ensure a constant flow of customers."

The reason why it only costs five taels is because potatoes can be cooked in any way you like, and her methods are simple, not some secret recipe she developed on her own. The restaurant has several chefs, and they may be able to come up with more than twenty different methods in a few months.

If she shouted too exaggeratedly, it would seem like she was taking advantage of Boss Cai's ignorance to make a profit.

Boss Cai said, "Five taels of silver for a recipe isn't a high price, but I can't handle twenty dishes at once. How about this? Sell me three first, and if they sell well, we can talk later."

Five taels is even too little. Many people who come to sell recipes ask for twenty taels or more.

"Okay." Qiao Jianer agreed readily.

There is a reason why potatoes have become popular all over the world, and she is very confident about this.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Boss Cai asked someone to prepare paper, and Qiao Lianer wrote down the recipes for three dishes.

Old potatoes, potato rice cakes, carrot and potato balls.

Boss Cai saw that the cooking method was novel and it was not an ordinary dish, so he felt that the five taels of silver were well spent.

If it's just stewed or fried, he wouldn't be happy to pay the money.

But he did not rush to pay. He asked the waiter to take the recipes to the kitchen and have them prepare the dishes.

"Please wait a moment. If there is no problem, I will settle the bill for you." Boss Cai asked someone to bring tea.

Da Meng and Xiao Meng were a little nervous. Although they knew that there was nothing wrong with Jianer, they were still waiting for the results to be announced as if they were taking an exam.

Qiao Jian'er was concerned about another issue. She observed Boss Cai's words and expressions and understood what he meant.

Fortunately, she was careful and the recipes she gave were not too common.

But if Boss Cai wants to buy it next time, he will inevitably have to stew it, which will be figured out quickly. By then, I don’t know whether Boss Cai is willing to pay for it.

She had to figure out a solution.

In the kitchen, three dishes were ready and the waiters brought them out and placed them on the table.
