Su Ze brought He Qingyao and He Qingmu downstairs while Su Li and Zeng Qing went up to the third floor.
Zeng Qing walked to a room. When the waiter standing at the door saw Zeng
Qing return, he smiled and said, “Old Master Zeng, why are you back again?”
Zeng Qing asked, “I brought a friend over to see Old Xu. Is he still there?”
The shop assistant nodded and said, “Yes, the boss hasn’t left yet.”
Hearing this, Zeng Qing gestured to Su Li. “Please come in.”
Su Li walked in.
The people in the room also stood up when they heard the commotion. Xu Jinming looked at Su Li and asked, “This is?”
Zeng Qing explained, “This is the young lady I told you about last time. That chili was made by her. Haven’t you been thinking about it before?
Coincidentally, she was eating downstairs, so I brought her up for you.”
Xu Jinming’s eyes lit up as he looked at Su Li. Ever since he had eaten the chili Zeng Qing had brought back last time, he had been unable to forget it. He had long wanted to look for Su Li and talk to her about the chili. He had been delayed by something, but he did not expect to meet her today.
Zeng Qing introduced her to Su Li. “Young lady, this is the owner of Xu Ji. He’s very interested in your chili. The two of you can have a good chat.”
Su Li nodded at Xu Jinming and said, “Nice to meet you, Boss Xu.”
Xu Jinming smiled and said, “I didn’t expect you to be so young and beautiful. You’re really young and promising! Hurry up and take a seat. Let’s sit down and talk!”
At first, he thought that Su Li was a middle-aged woman. He did not expect her to look so young, about the same age as his child!
“Alright.” Su Li sat down.
Xu Jinming poured her a cup of tea and said, “Since we’re all familiar with each other, I’ll get straight to the point. I ate the chili you gave me last time. It tastes not bad and can increase my appetite.”
Su Li nodded and said, “Yes, chili peppers contain chili base. It can stimulate saliva secretion, increase appetite, and promote the digestion and absorption of food. It can also relieve the symptoms of indigestion.”
“Chilli also has antibacterial effects. It has a significant inhibitory effect on Bacillus waxyensis and Bacillus drygrass. It can increase the immune system of the body. In addition, chili tastes syrupy and is hot. It has the effect of sweating and decomposing. It is often used to treat illnesses such as cold, cold, no sweat, spleen, stomach, and so on.
Xu Jinming blinked. “So many effects? Is this a medicinal herbs?”
Su Li chuckled and said, “It’s not a medicinal herb, but it has some effects similar to medicinal herbs. Many people have small health problems and don’t need to take medicine. They just need to work hard on eating.”
Actually, there were some small ailments that were usually caused by carelessness. If one was careful, such a problem would definitely not appear, so their usual diet was still very important.
Xu Jinming nodded in agreement. That was indeed the case. Some people usually could not bear to take care of their dietary. They would only think of a solution when there was a problem with their bodies. By then, it would be too late.
Xu Jinming said, “I want to buy some chili from you. What’s your current price? Do you have any more?”
He wanted to buy the chili as soon as possible. Business in the shop had not been good recently. He was still counting on the chili to help him pull the business back!
Su Li said, “How much do you want? The more the merrier.”
Today’s luck was not bad. Before she could go out to look for a buyer, the buyer had delivered himself to her door.
If someone could solve the problem of the chili, she could start planting it in large quantities in the future.
After all, the business of Xu Ji Restaurant was not bad. They should use a lot.
Xu Jinming thought for a moment and said, “I can’t give you an accurate answer yet. Can you give us some first? If the guests’ response is good, we’ll work together for a long time.”
He was afraid that some people would not be able to accept the chili. If he bought too much at once, it would rot in his hands.
Of course, Su Li was happy to oblige. She knew Xu Jinming’s considerations, and it was normal for him to have concerns. People accepted new things differently, and some people rejected new things for the rest of their lives. Su Li made a suggestion to Xu Jinming. “For a restaurant as big as yours, I’ll suggest for you to buy 50 catties. It should be used up in a day!”
She believed that most people would be full of praise after eating the chili. As for that small portion of people, it was normal that they could not eat spicy food!
Xu Jinming asked, “How much are you selling this chili for?”
What he was most concerned about was the price. If it was too expensive, he had to think about it. If the raw materials were too expensive, the price of his dishes would increase. If his dishes were too expensive, he would lose a group of customers.
Su Li said, “Since you’re so straightforward, I’ll be frank. Dry chili costs 20 copper coins per catty, fresh chili costs 15 copper coins per catty, and chili sauce costs 50 copper coins per catty.”
Xu Jinming frowned when he heard the price. It was a little expensive, especially that chili sauce. Since it was 50 copper coins per catty? How could he dare to buy it?
Su Li saw through Xu Jinming’s thoughts and said, “Chili sauce is the most troublesome. It’s not just chili inside. I also matched it with my ancestral secret recipe. That hot sauce will definitely leave a lingering aftertaste for you.” Ancestral recipes were equivalent to nonsense!
Xu Jinming was a little hesitant. “Your price is a little high. Can you give me a discount?”
Su Li looked at Xu Jinming with a smile and said, “I said that the greater the quantity, the better. You were the one who said that you would buy some and give it a try. You’re such a big boss. You still have the cheek to bargain with me with this bit of money?”
Xu Jinming, who had been praised by Su Li, was speechless.
What’s wrong with being the boss?
Could it be that the boss didn’t eat grains or food?
It was better to save as much as possible.
Su Li shook her head and said, “No bargaining. If you want a larger quantity, then we’ll talk about the price.”
Xu Jinming sighed. “Alright then! Give me 10 catties of fresh chili and 10 catties of dried chili first. I’ll give it a try first. If everyone can accept it, then we can continue working together! ”
Su Li nodded slightly. “Alright, I’ll send you this first.”
Then, Xu Jinming and Su Li chatted about other things. Zeng Qing sat at the side like an invisible person. He only cared about drinking tea and did not want to join Su Li and Xu Jinming’s conversation.
The atmosphere upstairs was not bad, but the atmosphere downstairs began to change.
When the people squatting in the corner saw Su Ze coming out with He Qingyao and He Qingmu, they started whispering to each other!
“How are we going to do it later? That man doesn’t look like someone to be trifled with.’
“Why are you in such a hurry? Can he take care of the two children alone? When the time comes, we’ll start snatching them while there are many people. At that time, he won’t be able to catch up to us even if he’s overcautious..”
