PWDLAW Chapter 256: Fermented Bean Paste
Chapter 256: Fermented Bean Paste
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. Fragrant Tower won't ruin its reputation. While others' pickled vegetables mature every two or three days and are sold at a lower price, around twenty wen per jar, ours can be sold for a hundred wen per jar. The prices are inherently different."
"Mother, you also know that the pickled vegetables we make are more delicious. Fragrant Tower belongs to the Xie family and they always value their promises. They won't change things arbitrarily."
"Talking about pickled vegetables, there aren't many Chinese cabbages left now. Pickled vegetables can be stored for a long time. Fragrant Tower is the largest restaurant in the county, consuming more quickly. In the future, they will need even more."
"However, if you're worried about not being able to sell them, let's sell them all to Fragrant Tower and let them handle the storage themselves." Ye Muyu changed her mind, as she thought of something. Xie's family had more than one Fragrant Tower.
Other shops in the county would also need pickled vegetables.
As for why the other party didn't mention it, they probably knew about her family's situation. They might have thought the quantity wasn't much and with the cooperation with the Soft Fragrance Cake Shop, Xie Yu's attitude would influence the attitude of those below him toward them.
In this way, just a hot dish wouldn't attract the attention of the Xie family. Of course, the restaurant manager would want to sell more, but unfortunately, they dared not offend the distinguished guests of the main family. They could only continue to sell pickled vegetable fish in limited quantities.
As for Han Shi's obvious groundless worries, Ye Muyu didn't think she had the ability to change that. When the pickled vegetable business could continue steadily, she didn't need to promise anything. Han Shi naturally wouldn't think about such things.
Ye Muyu's speculation was unknown to Ye Pozi. However, during this period she had earned quite a bit of money all because of her daughter's reasons, so any hesitation in her heart had been dispelled.
"Mother, this pickled vegetable recipe, don't tell anyone else. It's agreed with Fragrant Tower. If it leaks out, and Fragrant Tower's interests are damaged, they won't buy pickled vegetables from us again." Ye Muyu had to warn her.
Originally, this pickled vegetable business was a way for her to increase the income of her maternal and in-law families.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
She kindly reminded them. If they could continue to hold this business, it would naturally be good. However, if they couldn't and were eliminated from the market, it would still be better than being foolish and telling others the recipe, quickly destroying the profitable business method.
The former was letting things take their course.
The latter was deliberately making mistakes.
Han Shi's eyes flickered and she glanced at Ye Muyu nervously. Looking at her attire, she felt some envy and then looked at her own coarse clothes, her face filled with sorrow.
Ye Muyu saw her reaction but didn't say anything. Han Shi had such a personality and instead of arguing with her, it was better to face it calmly.
"By the way, mother have you made fermented bean paste at home? You can make a bit more. The last time we sent it to the Xie family, the master of the Xie family seemed to like it. If you make more, you can also sell it like pickled vegetables."
This fermented bean paste was what Ye Pozi usually made to eat with pickled vegetables.
In her view, it wasn't anything precious. Hearing Ye Muyu say it could make money, she felt as if she had been hit in the head by a pie: "Really? I thought you were the only one who liked to eat this. Other families make it too, so it shouldn't be worth much, right?"
Ye Pozi said hesitantly.
"It's delicious." Two words from Ye Muyu dispelled Ye Pozi's self-doubt.
She chuckled proudly "It makes sense. Your cooking skills are the best and you like it. Others will surely like it too."
"Well, I'll make more when I go back. I'll also plant more fava beans and red peppers this year."
