Farming and reading family

However, these are all problems. Kimchi is not a necessity for ordinary people, and it is not presentable for the rich. They thought it would be a surprise to open up the market, but who would have thought it would be a useless thing.

"But people have to know about kimchi and know that it tastes good before it will appear in their choices," Peng Can said pretentiously.

Gao E glanced at Peng Can. What he said made sense, but it didn't solve the problem. "When will the chicken coop be built?"

Peng Can didn't want to respond. There were only a few chickens, most of them male. It would be fine for them to run around in the yard, but there was no need to build a special chicken coop.

"Hold on tight." Gao E said and left.

After returning to Chen's house, Lei took a bowl of pickles and sat in a cool place to eat. When she saw her second sister-in-law coming back, she invited her to come over and eat with them.

Gao E returned empty-handed and went to sit with Lei: "Just eat this kimchi?" She said as she picked up a piece with a bamboo stick and ate it.

"This is so delicious as a snack." Lei said with a smile.

This thing had to be sold for money before, so Lei was more cautious when eating it.

Now I know this thing is not easy to sell, but since it is homemade, I can eat it however I want.

When Gao E heard what Lei said, she looked at the bamboo sticks in her hand and wondered if it would be okay to sell kimchi as snacks?

It's like peppers being sold as flowers.

If sold as a snack...it seems like everything can be soaked.

Mrs. Lei turned her head to see her second sister-in-law in a daze, thinking she was worried about the Gao family's affairs: "Second sister-in-law, don't worry too much. Those vegetables are not worth much anyway. It's just a little effort. We won't charge them later."

"That won't work." Gao E said seriously, "Whether he can sell it or not is his business. We can help a little. The accounts should be settled as they were at the time."

When Mrs. Lei heard her second sister-in-law say this, she laughed, thinking that her second sister-in-law was not wholeheartedly on the Gao family.

"It's the same with our family." Gao E looked at Lei. "After we move down, we have to be clear about what we want to do."

"I understand, I understand." Lei nodded.

Gao E continued to look at the bamboo sticks in her hand, thinking that if she were to make a snack, the taste would definitely have to be different.

The next day, Gao E took Lu Qingluo to He County, and Wu was waiting in the shop early.

"Big sister." When Mrs. Wu saw Gao E, she hurriedly went to greet her.

Gao Chong also came over and smiled awkwardly.

"How is the kimchi now?" Gao E said as she walked into the shop.

"Everything is stored and used according to the eldest sister's requirements." Mrs. Wu followed behind.

Gao E opened a few jars and smelled them. There was indeed nothing wrong with them. "Pack some of each and we'll take them out."

"Okay." Wu didn't ask why and started pretending immediately.

As noon approached, more and more people came to the entrances of restaurants and eateries. Gao E and Wu stood outside and let the diners taste the food for free.

Hearing that it was free, quite a few people gathered.

There are not many restaurants in He County, and the largest one is Wanyilou, owned by the richest man Chen. Gao E asked Wu to deliver the food outside, and she took the kimchi to find Chen Xiangyue.

Chen Xiangyue has been very busy recently. People from other places will come to visit him. Even if they don’t ask him to take the lead in helping, they still want to meet him first as the local boss to avoid any trouble later.

When he heard that Gao was looking for him, he stood up, apologized to the guests and left immediately.

"I wonder what's the matter, Mrs. Chen?" Chen Xiangyue walked quickly.

"Sorry to bother you at this time." Gao E took the jar and said, "This is the pickled vegetables sold by my brother and sister-in-law. They are refreshing and appetizing. Master Chen, please try them first. If possible, can Wanyilou give them to every table of guests for free?"

Chen Xiangyue took the jar and looked at it: "Free?"

"Yes, few people have eaten this kimchi, so we have to let people try it to know whether it is good or not." Gao E said with a smile.

Chen Xiangyue understood: "Okay, then I'll try it first. If it tastes good, I don't need you to give it away for free. I'll ask someone to buy it."

What Chen Xiangyue said was generous, but in fact, if it doesn’t taste good, forget it.

After all, he couldn't make his clients unhappy because of such a small profit.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Chen." Gao E said with gratitude, "You go ahead and do your work."

She just came here to try, not expecting it to work, so just give her a chance.

"I'm a little busy..." Chen Xiangyue wanted to explain to Gao E about bringing people to buy land, but after thinking about it, he decided, "If this deal is successful, we'll have more business in the future, so I won't send you off."

"Okay, okay." Gao E nodded.

Chen Xiangyue left quickly with a small jar of pickles.

Gao E saw that he was really busy.

As soon as she came out of Wanyi Building, she saw several waiters stopping Yu Sheng from entering.

"I really know your Master Chen." Yu Shengke tried to explain.

Although he was still wearing brocade clothes, they were much duller due to dirt and he looked very disheveled.

Gao E glanced at him and was about to leave, but was seen by Yu Shengke. His eyes tightened and he rushed to Gao E.

"You..." He felt that all this was because of Gao E.

Gao E looked at him with a smile, which made Yu Sheng dare not continue speaking. Then he saw Lu Qingluo next to Gao E and lowered his head.

"Is there something?" Gao E asked with a hint of ridicule.

Yu Shengke turned around and left. It would be better not to provoke this peasant woman.

Gao E smiled. It seemed that this man was having a miserable time now.

Lu Qingluo also remembered what Gao E had said: "How did you know that this would make him so miserable?"

"I don't know." Gao E didn't explain.

Lu Qingluo felt that Gao E must know, but just didn't want to tell her.

When they returned to Gao's shop, Wu had already returned.

"What was the reaction of those who tasted the kimchi?" Gao E walked in and saw that Wu was still in low spirits.

"The response was quite good, but once I heard the price, I gave up." Mrs. Wu was a little disappointed. "Is our price too high?"

Their price was four cents per pound, and now the price of pork is thirteen cents. When people heard this price, they felt it would be better to eat meat.

"Wait a little longer." Gao E wanted to wait for Chen Xiangyue's reaction.

"How long can this kimchi be kept? What if it goes bad?" Mrs. Wu worried.

"Just follow what I say and it will be fine in two or three months," Gao E comforted.

After a few people had lunch together, Gao E went to several restaurants in the city to take a look. If she sold kimchi to these restaurants as a side dish, she would definitely have to lower the price a lot.

There are already few people eating here, and if some of them leave more space, the business will be even worse.

We can only look at the situation on Chen Xiangyue's side. If we can have a big customer like Chen Xiangyue, the Gao family's business can at least be stabilized.

When Gao E left, she told Wu not to be anxious and to wait a few more days.

On the way back on the oxcart, Gao E reflected that diet was related to the local climate and products, especially in this era, it was not easy for ordinary people to fill their stomachs.

Making kimchi for your own consumption is fine, but it’s ill-considered to turn it into a business.

When she returned to Batou Village, Mrs. Lei was already waiting for her at the gate. When she saw her coming back, she immediately came to greet her.

"How is my second sister-in-law? Is there any way to sell those pickles?" Lei asked hurriedly.
