67, Chapter 67

Aunt Fan shouted, and all the shopkeepers from the nearby shops came out.

"What kind of dish is this?"

"It's green like a flower, I've never seen it before."

"Aunt Fan, is this food delicious?"

"..."

This street is full of shops, so there are a lot of people coming out to see them.

Aunt Fan used to manage the shop with Aunt Hong, but after Mrs. Kun and Zhang came, she stopped coming. But there are still quite a few people who know her.

Aunt Fan said: "This is a new variety of vegetables cultivated in our wife's farm. The seeds of this vegetable are bought from traveling merchants. You can come and taste them."

The broccoli stir-fried with meat slices has the aroma of meat and sauce, which is different from the taste of cabbage and radish. People here have never eaten broccoli, and they can't describe the taste at the moment.

Yang Haiyan knew the importance of marketing. She came out holding a large piece of broccoli: "Dear folks, this is a newly cultivated variety in my manor. It is very nutritious. More importantly, it is the product that traveling merchants come from. Other countries bring a very good vegetable called broccoli. This broccoli costs only three cents. It will be available tomorrow morning. If you want it, you can come and line up tomorrow because some of it has to be shipped to the county restaurant, so the goods are available. No. Oh, by the way, there will be an event tomorrow, buy a broccoli and get an egg for one day only.”

"Mrs. Qin, what kind of flowers are you buying this for? Can you give me an egg as a gift?"

"Mrs. Qin, is this really nutritious?"

"Mrs. Qin..."

Yang Haiyan explained: "This is very nutritious. If you eat it once a day, it is good for the body, especially suitable for children." She is really not doing propaganda. The nutritional value of broccoli is indeed very good, and it is also very friendly to children. , Broccoli can also help children strengthen their bones. It contains a large amount of magnesium, zinc, phosphorus and other elements, which can promote the growth and development of babies and prevent them from bone problems.

However, when you tell people here about these nutritional values, they don’t understand. So Yang Haiyan simply introduced that it is good for children. As long as it is good for children, the elders in the family are willing to buy it. What's more, one broccoli weighs about two kilograms and costs three cents to buy. Although it is more expensive than other vegetables, broccoli itself is really not expensive.

Aunt Hong was moved when she heard that it was good for children. Her son is shorter than his peers because before he met his wife, the child had no nutrition and she had no milk, so he was in poor health. After she came to my wife's house, my wife would have someone bring me a bowl of goat's milk every day. She has been drinking it for almost a year. She could see the improvement in her child, so she wanted to buy it when she heard that it was good for her child. She didn't know much about it herself, but she knew that it was always right to follow her wife.

What's more, my wife also has children at home, so I can't lie to them.

"Mrs. Qin, is it really good for children?" the female shopkeeper from the shop next door asked uncertainly.

Yang Haiyan: "Don't worry, shopkeeper, we are all neighbors, I can't lie to you. Besides, I am also eating. I have children at home who are studying in private schools, and they are also eating. I won't lie to you." "

Yang Haiyan does her duty and sells pastries cheaply, so everyone still trusts her. What's more, he also gave me an egg, so some people were tempted.

an hour later

Kun Zhang who went to the county seat came back.

"Madam." Mrs. Kun and Zhang entered the shop.

Yang Haiyan: "How is it?" Seeing that the plate in her hand was empty and the broccoli she took away was not brought back, she must have succeeded.

Mrs. Kun Zhang said: "I went to shopkeeper Ping. The shopkeeper recommended me to the restaurant. I didn't say anything. I tried the broccoli and asked the price. I said it was three cents a piece." ‌Go to the big one and give it to ‌, ‌ said it would cost two cents each. After I disagreed, ‌ said he would like ten to try first.”

Yang Haiyan: "There is more than one restaurant in the county. Tomorrow you go to the county and give ten broccoli to the restaurant that has ordered it. Then go to other restaurants and ask. If other restaurants order more than this one, choose another restaurant. Tell the restaurant that this broccoli belongs to us and cannot be found anywhere else.”

Kun Zhang: "Yes."

In the evening, the Qin family made two plates full of fried bacon with broccoli. When a family of four was eating around, Yang Haiyan said: "This is broccoli. It is cultivated with seeds bought from traveling merchants. Please try it. How does it taste? I like it very much. Eating this is good for the body." good."

Qin Fang ate a chopstick, but there was no special taste. In the past, there were only two types of food, those that could be eaten, those that were not full, or meat and vegetables. Nowadays, there are still two types of food, whether you can be full or not. Since he can eat meat and vegetables every day now, meat and vegetables are no longer his focus. However, as a good man who loves his wife, he will definitely not object to what she likes to eat: "It's delicious." He has already developed the ability to tell lies with his eyes open.

Qin Shoucheng: "It's delicious." He praised it sincerely, "This traveling merchant's food is just different from our food."

Yang Haiyan: "Because the world is huge, our Qiguo only occupies a small part of the world. We have cabbage, green vegetables, radish, etc. here, but other places have broccoli, tomatoes, cauliflower, etc. Different places have Different vegetables.”

Qin Shoucheng nodded vaguely.

Yang Haiyan doesn't expect to understand. Sometimes, once you have seen something, you will naturally understand some things. Life is a process of constant experience. No matter what others say, you may not be able to understand something you have not experienced.

When sleeping at night, Yang Haiyan suddenly thought of a question. She asked Qin Fang: "Ms., where do you purchase the food for the kitchens in your military camp?"

When Qin Fang heard this, he said, "Don't you want to sell the crops to the kitchen?"

Yang Haiyan really meant this. She thought it would be better to sell these things to others than to the military camp, so that the soldiers could have a taste.

Qin Fang couldn't help but laugh when he saw her like that: "Don't think about it. The food in the kitchen was purchased by people from the Hou Mansion, and they are the Marquis' confidants. Let's not think about that. Besides, military pay is tight in the military camp. , if you want to sell something to the military camp, it may take a while to get the money, are you willing?"

Of course, Yang Haiyan was unwilling. No one who is willing to do anything likes others to pay on credit. Although she admired these soldiers, she had no obligation to support them.

the next day

Yang Haiyan got up early in the morning and had breakfast with Qin Fang. Then the two separated, Qin Fang went to the military camp, and Yang Haiyan went to the snack shop.

Because it was getting really early, there was no one on the street at this time, but Aunt Hong and Mrs. Kun and Zhang in the dim sum shop had been up for a while and were making dim sum.

After the two made some snacks, they heard a knock on the door. It was Niu Da's family. Niu Da took his two sons and two daughters-in-law, each carrying two baskets of broccoli. One hundred broccoli is equivalent to two hundred kilograms, but don’t we need two baskets?

Niu Da and his family sat in the shop for a while, then Yang Haiyan and Aunt Lian and Aunt Fan came.

"Meet Madam."

Yang Haiyan: "You're welcome." She looked at the fresh broccoli one by one. Although these broccoli were sold for only a few hundred pennies, which was incomparable to the handkerchiefs and purses she embroidered, she was happy. "Aunt Fan, take out fifty broccoli and put them in the shop. If you buy one broccoli, you will get an egg for free."

Aunt Fan: "Yes."

Yang Haiyan: "Mother Lian, take out four broccoli, send two to General Ao's Mansion and two to Yonghe Hou's Mansion, tell the people in General's Mansion and Hou's Mansion that although these broccoli can be kept for a long time, they can be stored for a long time. It will be fine for a few days, but the green flowers will turn yellow after being left for a long time, and they will no longer be fresh by then. So if the masters of the General Mansion and the Marquis Mansion like it, they will send someone here to get it." He said. I mean, she explained that she was not stingy so she gave two away.

Yang Haiyan had no choice. It wasn't that she wanted to flatter her, but she had new dishes here. It would be inappropriate in terms of politeness if she didn't send them to General Ao's Mansion and Hou Mansion. Furthermore, no matter what happens to the Hou Mansion in the future, at least it is not in a state of decline, and Qin Fang currently wants to continue in this position, so as his wife, it is also right for her to properly socialize with the female relatives of his boss's family for him.

Aunt Lian: "Yes."

Yang Haiyan continued: "Aunt Fan, choose fifteen more broccoli, one for each household, and one for each of the five private households."

Aunt Fan: "Yes."

Yang Haiyan: "Captain Kun's family, you take thirty of them to the county town, give ten to the restaurant, and the remaining twenty can be sold in other restaurants or set up stalls."

Kun Zhang: "Yes."

Then, Aunt Lian and Mrs. Kun and Zhang took a carriage to the county seat with thirty-four broccoli flowers, and snacks for shopkeeper Ping.

Niu Da's family delivered the goods and returned to the countryside with two empty baskets.

When the food market is busy, the dim sum shop is also busy. Some people who knew about broccoli yesterday came to buy it. Some people don't know, but when I came to buy snacks today, I heard Yang Haiyan recommending it and bought it too. It only cost about two cents, and even the regular customers of the dim sum shop were short of these two cents.

A piece of broccoli costs three cents, and an egg is given as a gift. Each egg also costs one cent. Isn't it two cents each?

county seat

Aunt Lian carried two broccoli and went to the Yonghe Marquis Mansion first.

Aunt Lian was not timid about this kind of family background. She came to the gate of the Hou Mansion and said to the guard guarding the door: "This little brother, I am the nanny next to Mrs. Qin, the eldest son of Qin Fang Qianfu. My wife has cultivated new vegetable species in her manor, and I have specially brought them to the nobles of the Marquis Mansion to try. Please let me know."

When the guards of the Hou Mansion heard that they were from the Qianfu family, they hurried to report. After a while, the guards came out, and there was a maid next to them: "I've seen Mammy, my eldest son and his wife have invited me."

Aunt Lian: "Please lead the way."
