Unbeknownst to Xu Yin, chili pepper water became popular among the female relatives of various houses.
When Xu's spices sell new essential oils and perfumes, the mistresses of each mansion will still send their capable maids and mothers-in-law to keep an eye on them and buy new products as soon as they are available, but the one they communicate with most in private is the chili pepper water.
"This thing is so useful! I just told my sister-in-law a few days ago that she made a bottle and took it with her for self-defense when traveling. Unexpectedly, she used it to block a bad guy yesterday."
"Really? It seems I have to tell my servants to do more when I get back. There is nothing I can do, there are many girls in the house."
"Actually, I found another use. You all know that I don't have a good relationship with my mother-in-law. When I'm not here, she tries to torment me. She just called me to follow the rules a while ago, and my hands were because of the previous I had just touched the bottle of this thing and accidentally rubbed it into the corner of my eye, which made me burst into tears without warning. At that time, my father came back home and saw my eyes were red and I was crying silently. He thought that my mother-in-law was bullying me and I was mad. I have lost my temper a lot. My mother-in-law has been away a lot these past two days, so I have time to get together with my sisters."
"Haha! I didn't expect it to have such an unexpected effect?"
"It seems that from now on, we can't fight against those aunts, concubines, and evil mothers-in-law. They rub this thing in the corners of their eyes and just watch the master cry without saying anything. Maybe it will make him feel distressed."
"Hey! I remembered this! My husband took a concubine into his house at the beginning of the year, and she burst into tears every time. He especially liked her trick. It shows that men do love women who can cry more. But let me face it He can't cry with his pockmarked face, it would be a good idea to use this to help, let's see who can cry beautifully in the future!"
"Hahaha……"
It was only after Mrs. Lin wrote to her that Xu Yin learned that chili pepper water had unknowingly become the favorite of women in Luo City, and had also been developed into a secondary function by a number of noble ladies.
She couldn't help but laugh and cry: Isn't this just like the ginger handkerchief lying in her system warehouse?
By the way, if chili water is so popular, will the chili market be in short supply?
She asked Xu Kui to send a servant to find out.
"Girl, you are really good at predicting things. The price of chili peppers in Fucheng has indeed increased a lot this year."
Xu Yin said with a smile: "Why don't you inform the village chief quickly that you can add a pepper to the types of vegetables in the greenhouse in winter. There is still some time before winter begins. If the villagers are interested, they can form a team to purchase peppers from other places. , bring it back to Fucheng and sell it."
"good idea!"
Xu Kui immediately discussed with the village chief to purchase and plant peppers at the same time.
It just so happened that his He Niantang wanted to transport a batch of "Zhuangyuanhong" to other places, and he could bring back a batch of chili peppers.
The "Zhuangyuan Red" he planned has now become the favorite wine of local scholars.
Many restaurants, wine shops and even inns in Fucheng came to buy from him to attract scholars to spend money in the store.
Just as Qiu Wei's list came down, the scholars who had previously been chasing "Zhuangyuanhong", either by chance or because they were confident and performed well during the exam after drinking this wine, all of them were on the list.
This time, the wine became so popular that people from other places even heard about it - "I drank Los Angeles Number One Scholar's Red and rode around on horseback in high school."
No, a restaurant in Fengcheng asked him to order a batch of goods.
"Shopkeeper, did you say at the beginning of the month that your restaurant received a batch of 'Zhuangyuan Red'? Where's the wine?"
Grandma came with a jug to drink for her son.
Because he didn't have the money, his son gave up taking the provincial examination this year and recruited a few students to work as tutors at home. He said that he could earn some money and save some money, so it wouldn't be too late to take the provincial examination three years later.
No matter how unwilling my grandma is, what else can she do?
I heard that this "No. 1 Scholar Red" helped many scholars in Los Angeles reach high school in one fell swoop, so I thought about scooping a pot of it for my son to drink.
If it tastes good, she will scoop him a pot every other month and drink it for three years, and she will not believe that he will fail the exam.
"Come on, come on! The wine is here!"
At this time, the clerk from He Niantang finally delivered the wine to Fengcheng.
The shopkeeper of the restaurant personally came forward to receive them and asked if he could send a batch regularly in the future.
"My shopkeeper said that the next batch of Zhuangyuanhong will be next autumn at the earliest. However, there will be a batch of fruit wine ready for drinking next spring. If you want it, I will submit it to you. There is not much fruit wine, so the order is late. It may not be in stock.”
The shopkeeper didn't have anything, and the grandma who was waiting to scoop out the wine said in a sharp voice: "What? The next batch of Zhuangyuanhong won't be available until next autumn at the earliest? Then where can I scoop out the wine if my son wants to drink it?"
Xu Cai, a clerk at Heniantang, was originally an errand boy in the Xu Mansion. He was a clever person, but now he was taken by Xu Kui to train him as his deputy.
Xu Cai recognized Sun's mother at a glance. Isn't this the same person who came to the house to play in the autumn wind last year?
He immediately wanted to vent his anger on his girl's behalf, and said angrily: "Your family is not the only one who drinks my Zhuangyuan Red. Is it possible that if you want to buy it, I have to give it to you? Who are you?"
The restaurant manager also wanted to ask He Niantang to buy some fruit wine, so he said to his grandma impatiently: "Your Zhiqian didn't even take the provincial examination. Why are you staring at this wine? You have to wait until Zhiqian takes the provincial examination in three years." Drink again."
Sun's mother was so angry that she fell down and wanted to argue with the shopkeeper, but the waiter pushed her out.
Xu Cai asked curiously: "That woman's son didn't take the provincial examination?"
"Yeah, I don't know why. I clearly picked up a load of gifts from my relatives' house in Luocheng, but I actually said that I can't afford the money and I won't try it in Fucheng or countryside this year."
When Xu Cai heard this, he asked the shopkeeper about the Sun family in detail.
Return to Luo City and relay it to Xu Kui.
Xu Kui naturally told Xu Yin without missing a word.
After hearing this, Xu Yin was extremely puzzled: "Sun Zhiqian didn't take the civil examination?"
Not only did he not take the civil examination, but he also opened a private school at home and became a teacher?
This surprised her so much.
She thought she had won the exam and her grandma and her family were feeling proud.
I didn't expect to give up.
Just because there is no expense?
Aha! She, a stingy little butterfly, refused to be the male protagonist's purse, and just slapped the male protagonist of the imperial examination essay away?
How can the male protagonist marry a princess, enter the court, fight against ministers, and become famous all over the world if he doesn't win the exam?
So is this still an imperial examination document?
Xu Yin rubbed her chin, becoming more and more confused the more she thought about it.
However, the plot collapsed, which reflects that she is one step further away from the fate of cannon fodder, right?
This is a good thing!
Xu Yin touched her palm and said: "Everyone has worked hard this year, and your monthly income will be doubled this month!"
Everyone below was happy and couldn't help but wonder: Why did the girl give them a monthly salary increase before the New Year's Eve?
Xu Kui asked nonchalantly: "Girl, before the twelfth lunar month comes, you will increase the monthly salary for the children. Will you also increase it during the New Year?"
Xu Yin reacted: Yes, it’s not the Chinese New Year yet.
But the persona couldn't be broken, so he cleared his throat coldly: "If you perform well, it will naturally increase."
"Wow……"
Everyone ran around happily telling each other.
Xu Yin: "..."
Fortunately, several of the projects she invested in were very profitable, otherwise the ancestors of the Xu family would be so angry that she would scold them as a prodigal, right?
