Compared with the various varieties of peppers in later generations, the peppers now are almost the original varieties. If more are cultivated, many varieties of peppers will be cultivated.
Yunze took a bite, and a long-lost feeling surged in his heart. Ever since he traveled through time, he probably had never eaten such a dish again.
It is May, and many fresh vegetables are ripe. This small shop has quite a few dishes. Others were eating fresh sweet potato leaves.
If he hadn't known that he was now in the Jing Dynasty, Yunze would have thought that he had returned to his previous life.
Yunze ate very slowly, and the wine was very ordinary rice wine, no different from water, but Ye Chen ate three bowls of rice in one go.
When he had eaten and drank enough, Yunze saw that there was no one in the store. After paying for the meal, he smiled slightly and said to the landlady: "Madam, I wonder if I can introduce the boss to you!"
The landlady was slightly startled when she heard this, but she still smiled innocently and said: "Sir, please wait a moment, I will call my husband-in-law right away!"
She turned around and walked into the kitchen. Soon, a middle-aged man who looked about forty came out. He was slightly fatter and had a simple and shy smile on his face.
"Guest officer, you are looking for me..."
Yunze smiled and made a gesture to the boss to sit down. He said calmly: "Boss, your cooking skills are very good. I wonder if you would like to be a master chef in my restaurant!"
He gets straight to the point and doesn't waste any unnecessary nonsense. If such a talent can be taken under his control, the restaurant's business will be more stable.
The boss opposite heard this and looked stunned. He didn't expect Yunze to be so direct and wanted to poach him. There was a look of embarrassment on his face.
"Um, Sir, you are joking. I can support my family by doing this small business! I will help you become a master. I am not qualified for this job...I have let you down!"
He had a smile on his face and a humble voice. There was a bit of panic in his expression.
He could see that Yunze had extraordinary bearing and a high status. He was not someone he could offend. Who knew what Yunze's character was like.
If you follow the wrong person, you might be exploited again and again. It would be better to open your own home and be more comfortable. Although I don’t make much, at least I have peace of mind!
Hearing this, Yunze vaguely understood what the other party was worried about. He smiled and said, "I will give you fifty taels a month. In addition, I can give you half of the restaurant's annual dividend! Monthly payment! If you are afraid of me If you regret it, I can make a written statement with you as proof!"
In everything you do, you put profit first. If you want the other party to follow you, if you don't offer enough profit, you will just try to make a bigger pie. It is simply impossible to make the other party follow you with all your heart.
When they heard that there was fifty-two months' money, the boss, his wife, and their son were all shocked. There are three people working in their small shop every month, and together they grow their own vegetables, which is only about thirty taels a month at most.
Yunze actually exported fifty taels. It's just the boss's salary alone. Not to mention, there is still half a percent dividend every year. Or the monthly balance. Not to mention the money.
Before the two of them recovered from the shock, Yunze continued: "My wife and your son can also work in the store, and the monthly payment is calculated as twelve taels per month."
Yunze's words made the three of them take a breath again, unable to believe what Yunze said.
You must know that an ordinary family, with a family of about four people, can earn three taels of silver a month, which is already very good. But Yunze actually gave their family so much money.
Such benefits made their family a little scared, but they were not moved by the huge wealth that fell on their heads. Instead, he looked terrified.
"Young Master, I can't bear this! You...it's better not to find anyone else...I..." After the shock, the boss's face was full of fear, and he opened his mouth to refuse.
Although the pie falling from the sky is good, he dare not eat it. This is a typical portrayal of a loyal and honest person. Don’t be greedy, don’t occupy!
Seeing the other party's performance, Yunze nodded. He deliberately offered so many benefits just to see the family's reaction.
Since you want to use it for your own use, you must be trustworthy in terms of character. After all, what if, under heavy profits, the Zheng family poached the person! Then he is making wedding clothes for the Zheng family.
Yunze didn't have time to investigate their character. You can only try based on your own experience. This trial made him very satisfied. At least, this family is not moved by the huge profits.
"Boss, actually I don't just want to ask you to help me in my restaurant, but also because I want the seeds of your vegetables... let's consider this money as a reward for buying your things!"
Yunze smiled lightly at the boss.
As soon as Yunze said these words, the boss's face suddenly relaxed, and he heard Yunze talking about his vegetables. A look of excitement and excitement suddenly appeared on his face.
"Young master, you really have a good eye. Speaking of which, these vegetables are all inherited from our ancestors. Let me tell you... I have researched many new varieties, and I have also cultivated some higher quality ones... Master, I have a lot of plants in my backyard, would you like to go and have a look..."
The boss couldn't wait to invite Yunze to visit his backyard.
Looking at him like that, he seemed to have found a soulmate.
Speaking of which, although there are many customers coming to the store to eat, most of them come because of his craftsmanship. As for the vegetables he grows, not many people really care about them.
Yunze was the first person to say that he wanted to buy his vegetables, and Yunze obviously wanted to use these vegetables in his own restaurant. How could he not be excited.
For a person who is obsessed with farming, getting recognition from others is his greatest satisfaction, and it even surprises him more than recognition of his cooking skills.
When Yunze heard this, he stood up quickly. He also wanted to see the scale of the vegetables grown by the other party. If possible, Yunze wanted to try using greenhouse technology to grow on a large scale. It can even be grown out of season.
The boss's wife and the boss's son looked helpless. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but swallowed it back.
The boss took Yunze to the backyard, while the boss's wife and his son stayed in front. After all, they still had business to take care of. Ye Chen followed in.
The backyard is about a hundred square meters in size, and there are many vegetables grown in it, including peppers, eggplants, and even tomatoes. There are also cucumbers, water spinach, etc.
Seeing the lush greenery in the backyard, Yunze couldn't help but sigh. This boss is really a wonderful person, and he is also good at growing vegetables. Every vegetable is grown in excellent quality. One look at it shows that it has been cared for with care.
"Sir, do you think I can grow vegetables well? This is only part of the land. I have a few acres of land outside the city, and the elderly at home are taking care of it. It can supply the needs of my shop every year."
"Speaking of which, if the young master wants these dishes from me, I'm afraid my family's production won't be able to supply them!"
At the end of the sentence, the boss looked a little embarrassed.
"Boss, I wonder if you have ever thought about growing these vegetables in a greenhouse with constant temperature. In this way, you can eat fresh vegetables all year round." Yunze looked at the boss with a smile.
"Big shed!? Constant temperature? Master...you..." The boss's face was full of astonishment, and he didn't understand what Yunze meant for a while.
"A greenhouse is to build a shed for growing vegetables. As long as...you do this...that..." Yunze explained the key points of greenhouse technology to his boss.
Although the technical point he mentioned made the boss stunned for a while, his eyes lit up. He was keen on farming and had some experience.
Although Yunze's technical theory was vaguely understood, he also understood the secret and had a vague feeling that Yunze's method was feasible.
If you can, it's definitely worth a try.
If glass had not been manufactured before, the idea of a greenhouse might have encountered technical barriers. However, with the introduction of glass, the problem of lighting and constant temperature can be solved.
"Sir, is your method really feasible? If it is possible, I have left a lot of seeds here. Even if I give them all to you, it won't be a problem!"
The boss looked at Yunze with joy. His eyes were full of questioning. Seeing his eager and expectant expression, Yunze couldn't help but want to laugh a little. This boss was really a foodie. I focused entirely on growing vegetables.
From what he said, his ancestors were also keen on growing vegetables. Otherwise, it would be impossible for these vegetables to be passed down.
Moreover, most of these vegetables seem to have been improved by evolution.
Yunze's heart moved slightly. In addition to being a chef, the boss in front of him might also be able to train him as a vegetable grower. It will be of great use to him in the future.
"Of course it's possible... As long as you are willing to follow me... I promise to let you see the greenhouse..." Yunze smiled slightly at the boss.
When the boss heard this, his heart showed on his face, but he still hesitated a little. After the blood rushed to his brain, he calmed down, and he still had a little distrust of Yunze.
While hesitating, a burst of shouting and cursing suddenly came from outside. Yunze frowned, and Ye Chen, who had always been confused, walked out quickly. He has no interest in growing vegetables. If Yunze hadn't come in, he wouldn't have bothered to come in.
Yunze also followed out. I saw three people pushing the proprietress and the proprietor's son in front of the store. The leader cursed and said:
"What nonsense are you talking about? The price of protection fees has increased today, one tael of silver, otherwise, I will destroy your store..."
"Master Gou, wasn't it fifty cents a day before? Why did it suddenly increase to one or two cents!? We can't make that much in a day. Seeing that it's not easy for us, please charge less!" The boss's wife The voice was pleading.
Although their business is good, they only make more than one tael of silver a day. After excluding costs, they can't even make one tael. Unless business is very good every day.
But the three people opposite asked for one or two pieces of silver with every mouthful. They worked all day in vain and even paid back.
"It's not easy for you, but it's easy for me! Let me tell you, if you can't come up with a tael of silver today, your store won't have to do business in the future."
"Hmph... your business is so good. You told me that you can't make even one tael of silver. What a liar you are! Stop talking nonsense and take the money!"
