Chapter 104 Making Money (Update)

After struggling for a while, Caiwei went next door and told the owner of the dim sum shop that she wanted to buy the shop. Unexpectedly, the boss refused, claiming that his shop would bring in nearly two hundred taels of silver every year. , this is the basis for their family's survival, so they will never sell it.

However, when Caiwei smashed the three thousand taels of silver notes on the table, the boss immediately changed his tune, saying that a gentleman is the beauty of adulthood, and since Miss Mu wanted to expand the scale of her business, he would be happy to do so.

Therefore, without much effort, the shop with the same layout as her house and its backyard was sold for a high price of three thousand taels. The moment she got the house deed, Caiwei breathed a sigh of relief, and could finally get that monster out of the house. Kicked out of his room!

After finishing the matter of buying a house, Caiwei returned to her restaurant and saw that Jiujin and Uncle Zhou had already started working. It was obvious that people were coming to eat meat skewers so early in the morning. Caiwei smiled knowingly and entered the restaurant. When the shopkeeper saw her, he hurriedly came out from behind the counter to greet her and said in a low voice: "My boss, there is a distinguished guest coming to the door. We are waiting in Tianzijing now. The distinguished guest has given instructions. When you come back, please be sure to come up and say I have a business deal I want to discuss with you."

Caiwei smiled and said, "I know, let's go up now!"

Caiwei had already guessed who the distinguished guest was. Yesterday's meat skewers caused such a big response in the An family. The third and fourth masters of the An family are both businessmen, and most of the people who came to celebrate their birthday were businessmen. How did they do it? If you can’t see the business opportunities in this meat skewers, how could you miss this great opportunity to make a fortune!

Sure enough, after entering the Tianzi Room, An Qiyun stood up and came to greet him. He smiled and introduced to the dozen or so people at the table: "This little girl is Miss Mu, the boss of Bafu Restaurant. She also cooks kebabs." The founder of Er, if you have anything to say, just say it to her!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man with a round face and a slight fatness stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Miss Mu, to be honest, we are all in the restaurant business, because I saw that the girl's original kebabs are so delicious." , so I came here specifically to ask for the girl’s secret recipe for barbecue, and I hope the girl won’t refuse.

Everything was as expected by Caiwei. She said with a smile: "I spent a lot of effort to come up with the kebab. I wanted to make my Bafu Restaurant the only one in the Jin Dynasty, but An Your Excellency has come forward to introduce you to you, so it’s hard for me to offend Mr. An, right? So..."

Everyone present was a businessman, all of them seemed to be shrewd. Before Caiwei could finish speaking, someone stood up, handed over a banknote with a denomination of one thousand taels, and said, "Of course we won't give it up." I beg the girl with all my face, these one thousand taels of silver notes are a little bit of our thoughts, I hope the girl won’t dislike it!"

Caiwei glanced at the numbers on the banknote and smiled politely: "You're welcome, as I said, with Mr. An's face, I naturally don't dare to hide my secrets. You can send a reliable subordinate later. Go outside my Bafu Restaurant to learn barbecue skills, and I can give you the secret recipe of barbecue seasonings for free, but whether you can prepare these seasonings is not up to me!"

After that, he ordered the waiter to get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and with a swipe of his hand, Tihao wrote out the recipe for the kebab seasoning.

The recipe was passed to the wine table. Everyone first praised Caiwei's calligraphy, but they were soon attracted by the secret recipe of the seasoning.

I saw that the piece of paper had salt, sesame, butter, pepper and other common seasonings written on it. Only the word "cumin" at the end was quite unfamiliar. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but there was no one. People know what this "cumin" is.

Caiwei said calmly: "I can give the secret recipe to everyone for free for Master An's sake, but if you want the seasonings on it, you will have to spend some money."

The middle-aged man with a round face and a slightly chubby face pointed to the word "cumin" and asked, "Can you tell me where you can buy this cumin and how much money it costs?"

Caiwei said with a smile: "Cumin is sold in the Bafu Restaurant. However, because it is rare and expensive, the price of cumin is a bit more expensive. It costs three taels of silver per catty, so you might as well go outside to find it first. Once you look for it, if you find the best one, if you can't find it, you can only buy it at my Bafu Restaurant, but I don't have much stock, so if you want it, you have to say hello in advance!"

"Three taels of silver per catty?"

All the merchants exclaimed, with unacceptable expressions on their faces.

Since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, I have never heard of any seasoning that is as expensive as three taels of silver per catty. This is too outrageous. Some merchants looked hesitant, as if they were undecided about whether to buy this cumin.

At this moment, a young man in rich clothes spoke quietly.

"I wonder how many goods Miss Mu can have in hand now?"

The distinguished guest of the fourth master of the An family who asked the question was Huo Yuan, the direct son of the Huo family, the richest man in the capital. This person is currently taking care of the Huo family's business in Bianzhou Prefecture, and has a close relationship with the fourth master, An Qilu.

Caiwei heard the inquiry and hurriedly summoned Baimei with her consciousness: "How much cumin do we have? How long will it take for the newly planted cumin to mature? How many pounds can we harvest?"

Bai Mei said: "It will be ready to harvest in about three or two days. It will not be a problem to harvest seven to eight hundred catties."

"Currently, I can collect about 500 kilograms of cumin. I wonder how much you want!"

After receiving Baimei's reply, Caiwei felt reassured.

"Okay, I want them all!"

After Huo Yuan finished speaking quietly, he raised his eyes and motioned to the boy behind him. The boy immediately took out a thousand and five hundred taels of silver notes and respectfully stepped forward and handed it to Caiwei.

When Caiwei took the banknote and looked at it, she immediately felt very good. The depression she had suffered at the monster place in the morning was all gone!

She collected the banknote and said with a smile: "Young Master is really courageous. You can tell he's going to be a big deal as soon as you see him. Okay, let's make a deal. Five hundred kilograms of cumin. Please come to Bafu Restaurant to pick up the goods in three days!"

Huo Yuan laughed loudly and said: "Miss Mu, I admire you so much. Speaking of courage, at such a young age, I can start from scratch and take charge of the Bafu Restaurant. I really admire you!"

When the other merchants saw that Huo Yuan had packed all the cumin by himself, they knew that he intended to monopolize the barbecue market, and they couldn't help but feel some regret, but they all regretted it too late. Who made them not have the courage to make a decisive decision!
