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

"For these potatoes, peel off the bad ones and keep the good ones. Peel off the good corn kernels. Same with the peanuts, keep the good ones." Old Lady Song said, "We have to make back some of our money today."

The Song family members hurriedly got busy, each of them in a panic. The Qiao family's business was so good that they felt a sense of urgency.

We have to make some edible snacks quickly.

Compared to that side, the Qiao family was calm and composed, busy yet orderly.

There is a division of labor, including who is responsible for collecting money, who is responsible for the pot, and who is responsible for processing the ingredients.

Seeing so many bugs falling out of the food that the Song family moved away, the children understood why Sister Jianer and the eldest brother asked them to watch the Song family steal the food.

I watched a really good show today and it made me feel relaxed all over.

Qiao Jianer stopped making chili sauce because it was time-consuming, laborious and choking, but people still came to ask about it.

She simply told the customers the recipe and asked them to buy dried chili peppers and chili peppers and make it themselves at home. This saved costs and saved her time.

Besides, she now has an abundant supply of food in her space, and she can buy as much as she wants. Selling the food directly is the fastest way.

The customer calculated that a portion of chili sauce cost fifteen cents, which was only half a pound. A pound would cost at least thirty-seven cents.

A pound of dried chili peppers costs twenty cents, and a pound of fresh chili peppers costs ten cents. Thirty cents can buy two pounds in total. Adding other ingredients, you can make more than two pounds of chili sauce.

Buying the ingredients directly and cooking at home does save a lot of money, so everyone buys several kilograms of chili peppers, and more and more people are buying them.

Several more restaurants came to buy chili peppers because they discovered from the booming business of Mingyue Tower that customers liked spicy food, especially this kind of direct spicy food.

Chef Su opened up the market for spicy food on the dining table.

Not only restaurants come here, but also those who make pickles, and even snack vendors on this street come here to buy chili peppers.

Many snacks are coated with chili peppers, which takes the taste to a higher level.

When Qiao Jianer raised her eyes, she saw Chef Su had come in at some point and was standing aside with a smile on his face.

The last time Chef Su appeared here, he had a serious look on his face.

"Girl, give me another 300 kilograms of dried chili peppers and 300 kilograms of fresh chili peppers."

Fuguilou and Jiuweilou were the first to use these ingredients, but it was Mingyuelou that first used such peppers.

Everyone attracted a lot of customers.

Now he studies how to cook dishes with chili peppers every day, and he is particular about how much chili pepper to put in and when to put it in, because he knows very well that other restaurants will follow suit.

He started by making spicy food, and he wanted to make spicy food a signature dish of Mingyue Tower.

After researching day and night, Chef Su came up with several spicy dishes that he thought were good. He had let customers try them for free and they all said they tasted good. He knew they would be big sellers, so he bought a lot of chili peppers at once.

"Okay, Big Brother Meng and Little Brother Meng, after weighing them, carry them over to Uncle Su." Qiao Lianer said enthusiastically.

"Okay." The two of them were quick and efficient. They weighed the dried chili peppers and chili peppers, showed them to Chef Su, and then carried them to Mingyue Tower.

Chef Su asked the waiter to pay for so many chili peppers, and it cost nine taels of silver.

But compared to the booming restaurant business, this cost is nothing.

"War is impossible. Our Daze Kingdom has been peaceful for so many years. Now it is a prosperous time. The army is strong and the people live and work in peace. How could there be a war?"

Two people brought sorghum wine and sat at a small table eating peanuts while discussing.

"Anyway, I heard a rumor that came from the capital. Our southern neighbor is keeping to itself, but the northern tribes have been eyeing our Great Ze State covetously, waiting for an opportunity to strike."

"You may think it's a prosperous time, but in reality, the national treasury is already depleted. If a war breaks out, what will support it? It will be the common people who will suffer."

"That's just a rumor. Who can take it seriously? I also heard there were zombies somewhere in the east that eat people. And there's a perverted tribe in our southern neighboring country that specializes in capturing people and cutting off their kidneys, saying it strengthens the kidneys. Some people even collect and eat them. Do you think that's possible?"

"Alas, what you said is like a fairy tale, of course it is impossible, but war is a common occurrence between countries."

"Impossible! Our Great Ze State is truly formidable. We've stood for a hundred years. Who can possibly move us? Even if the northern tribes wanted to move south, they would be beaten back in terror, kowtow, and beg for mercy."

"I also heard that the land rent and head tax will be increased this year. For vendors like these, the tax won't just be doubled, but quadrupled or even quintupled."

In ancient times, agriculture was emphasized and commerce was suppressed. Business families had to pay double the head tax every year.

If you set up a stall here, you not only have to pay the stall fee, but you also have to pay taxes every month based on your business income. The founding monarch of Daze State was enlightened and abolished the market management tax, but the other two items still exist.

"No way, no way. Don't say such depressing words, lest it affect your luck. Come, drink."

Qiao Jianer heard every word of their conversation.

Seeing that their plates were almost empty, she scooped another large spoonful of peanuts into the bowl.

Their eyes lit up. Is this a free gift?

Qiao Jianer also dragged a small stool and sat down.

"Uncles, this is free for you to eat."

"Oh, okay, thank you very much. You are such a kind girl." The two were very happy that they could chat for a while.

"Just now I heard that there was going to be a war or something. Is there a reliable source for this information?"

"Hey, little girl, don't listen to his nonsense. He's drunk and talking nonsense. Don't take it seriously. Our Daze Country is peaceful and prosperous, and the people are safe and happy."

The uncle who said he could fight had a serious expression on his face. "Little girl, my distant relative is an official in the capital. His brother-in-law came here last month and had a few drinks with me. He told me a little bit of information. The grain tax was increased a bit in the past two years, and all the grain was shipped to the north. The court was making preparations in advance."

"Since you gave me free peanuts, I'm kindly reminding you."

He looked around, moved closer to Qiao Jianer, and lowered his voice.

"Don't leave too much silver at home, and don't pile up too much rice."

Qiao Jianer's heart was shocked.

"The war in the north can't invade us, so we don't have to worry about displacement. However, if things can be taken away, it will be difficult to keep them when they are needed elsewhere."

"I just mentioned the deficit, and it might be even more serious than I estimated. Alas, I can't discuss this further."

"Also, pay more attention to changes in your surroundings. If anything seems amiss, don't set up your stall for the time being. Otherwise, you'll be the first to be targeted, even though you're making so much money and selling a lot of ingredients."

"Little girl, please remember this."
