After noon, customers came one after another to buy fruit peels.
The scene in front of Su Mansion was really lively, attracting the attention of some surrounding residents. The Su Mansion usually rarely sees so many guests coming, but in the past few days, we have seen the master, servants, and maids come to the Su Mansion one after another, and they all carry large and small packages when they return home.
I learned that Sufu has a new product: potato chips, and there are two flavors to choose from. Aunt Guan brought a large plate of potato chips to the guests to try, and everyone who tasted them said they liked it. There were many people in the house and wanted to buy more, but the Su Mansion had a purchase limit, so they had to come early tomorrow to buy them.
Little fat Li Yuanyuan was trying to eat potato chips. This thin slice was crispy and fragrant, and she couldn't stop eating it. His hands were stained with oil and he was licking his fingers with his tongue.
Mrs. Li preached to her daughter: "Little fat, wipe it with a handkerchief. This is too unsightly."
"Mom, can I only buy 5 packs? I'll go find Tongtong and ask her to buy more for me."
"My master has told me not to eat too much fried food at one time, especially the elderly and children; I will ask the servants to buy it tomorrow morning."
Su Lele happened to overhear their conversation and walked into the side hall and said, "Are you Tongtong's good friend? My little sister hasn't woken up yet. Since you like eating potato chips so much, my sister will give you a pack, but take your time." Eat!”
"Sister Fairy, you are so kind!" the little fat girl responded sweetly.
Su Lele smiled and touched the little chubby cheek. As expected, it was as smooth as the little sister's round face.
Mrs. Li looked at the woman in front of her with a charming smile, skin as white as snow, and a long figure. She was probably the second lady of the Su family. It seemed that her dementia was gone.
Later, nearby residents learned that these guests who came to Su Mansion were all here to buy snacks. They heard that the taste was very good, and those who liked snacks on weekdays also bought some to try.
In this way, it spread from one to ten, and then to a hundred, and spread throughout the capital.
Two days later, the main hall of Su Mansion
Uncle Chen was reporting to Su Lele who was sitting in the hall eating fruit peel:
"Second Miss, I have followed your instructions to inquire in various nearby villages, and there are no farmers growing potatoes."
Is it only grown in the Mobei area?
"Uncle Chen, go to the Escort Bureau to find out if there are any plantings in the nearby prefectures, and go to Liujiacun to tell Liu Shitou and the others that they can consider growing a variety of potatoes next season and harvest as many as they can. Moreover, potatoes are more resistant to drought and can be grown in wasteland. , you can open more land for planting.”
"I also mentioned it to their village chief. If anyone is willing to plant, I will accept it."
If there are no plants in the nearby state capitals, then we can only encourage surrounding farmers to plant more varieties. It seems that the potato chips are out of stock as soon as they become popular. It is really difficult to make an extra fortune!
Su Lele also thought that if she could make more than a month's profit from the current sales of fruit peels and potato chips, she might be able to open a small workshop and expand the scale.
Red fruits are out of season in a month, so you can start thinking about making some pastries and snacks, so that you don’t have to worry about the supply being cut off all year round.
Grandfather Su Dong was eating potato chips one after another and sipping hot tea from time to time, enjoying himself very much. But when he heard that Uncle Chen had just reported that the potato chips were about to be out of stock, he immediately took small sips to taste them slowly.
What a pity that such delicious potato chips disappear after a few days!
"My dear granddaughter, can you secretly leave a few bags for your grandfather?"
Su Lele looked at her grandfather's pitiful appearance and showed an "I understand" expression: "Okay, only we two know."
Second Prince's Mansion Yijing Pavilion
Leng Yunmo, the prince of Zhenguo Gong, asked while drinking fine oolong tea: "I heard that your bodyguard Leng Feng said that you have been busy handling the case and haven't returned to the palace for three days!"
At this time, the young man facing him was wearing a green embroidered robe with sapphire ribbons, a face as white as jade, a tall and slender figure, and a low and indifferent temperament. His thin lips were slightly opened and he said in a low voice: "Yes."
The second prince, Leng Yichen, is responsible for managing the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple. This morning, I rushed back to the capital from Nanzhou Fucheng with my bodyguards Leng Feng and Leng Yu, Fengchen servants. I had just returned from discussing with my father.
"That boy Zhou Jingxuan is as busy as you. He has been inspecting shops everywhere recently. I heard that it was you who put pressure on him."
Zhou Jingxuan's family has been an imperial merchant for generations, and they have many shops throughout the cities of Dayun Kingdom. He is very business savvy and is involved in restaurants, pawn shops, pastry shops, cloth shops, ceramic shops... some shops were opened in partnership with Leng Yichen.
"Recently, there is a dam to be built in Yunzhou, which requires a lot of silver."
"Oh, I have a little more leisure time than you. I haven't had much business with the Ministry of War recently. I have to go to Mobei to hand over to my father in two months."
Leng Yunmo's father, Leng Feihong, is currently guarding the Mobei region. Although the Dayun Kingdom and the neighboring Dali Kingdom have signed a peace and permanent armistice agreement, generals still need to guard the border. Leng Yunmo loves freedom. Relatively speaking, the Mobei area is more suitable for him, so he asked the emperor for an exchange with his father.
"Um."
Leng Yunmo has adapted to Leng Yichen's taciturn temperament.
"Ah, by the way, I secretly brought a pack of delicious snacks from my grandfather. You can try them."
Leng Yunmo called his bodyguard Jian Yu who was waiting outside the door to bring something in.
The moment they opened the oil paper, everyone immediately smelled a domineering fragrance. Leng Yichen, who was not very interested at first, also looked over.
As he spoke, he politely picked up a piece and put it into his mouth: "Come on, Yichen, try it quickly."
"Hmm~ The original flavor is not bad. No wonder my grandfather is so stingy. He only gave me a few slices of the spicy flavor, but they were not enough to satisfy my taste. Eat it quickly, it's really delicious!"
Leng Yiyun didn't have a good appetite, but he started to feel hungry after smelling this fragrance.
I picked up a piece and put it in my mouth, chewed it, the crispy texture filled my mouth, and the salty taste of the vegetable itself.
"What is this made of?"
"I heard from my grandfather that they are made from potato chips. These snacks are called potato chips, and they come in two flavors: original and spicy."
"This snack is made by my grandfather at his friend's house. I heard that the purchase limit is 5 packs per day. At noon, I originally asked Jianyu to go to Su Mansion to buy it, but I found out that the purchase limit is 5 packs per household per day. Grandpa and his old man will have breakfast early I had already sent my servants to buy it, so I took the risk of being beaten to steal my grandfather’s private collection.”
Leng Yunmo acted like "Look, I'm so good to you, please praise me".
Leng Yichen ignored him, but kept reaching for the potato chips, eating one piece after another in an elegant manner, and taking a sip of oolong tea from time to time.
After a while, a large bag of potato chips was finished.
"It's gone so quickly. I haven't eaten enough yet? No, you must buy it early tomorrow morning, faster than grandpa. This Su Mansion is quite interesting. Instead of opening a shop, they sell it in the mansion. The business It’s pretty good, but it’s also quite strange. Why are there purchase restrictions? Shouldn’t we sell more and make more money?”
"You can go back." After Leng Yichen finished speaking, he walked towards the study.
Leng Yunmo looked at his back and cursed: This heartless guy!
After Leng Yichen finished his official duties in the study, he said to the cold wind and cold rain: Tomorrow morning you two will go to the Su Mansion to buy potato chips. If you need to note the residence, you can report it to the Zhou Mansion and the Zhenguo Mansion.
