Chapter 125: I am not short of money.

General's Mansion, lobby.

  It was already 11:15 (9:15 p.m.), and no one in Shen Hong's family was asleep.

  They gathered around the table and drooled, looking at the five plates of fried and fragrant sausages.

  "Is this grilled sausage? It smells so good." No one said anything, but Xu Wanrou couldn't help it, and the aroma of grilled sausage penetrated her nose.

  Ruan Ruan glared at Shen Zhiyu. She took out a pack of authentic Guizhou chili powder from her arms, opened it and sprinkled it on the plate. She picked up a grilled sausage threaded with a bamboo skewer and turned it around to coat it with chili powder.

  "Mom, you eat."

  "Okay, my daughter loves my mother." Cheng Yurong praised her daughter before taking the sausage and taking a small bite.

  Everyone stared at her, and their mouths couldn't help but secrete more saliva.

  "Is it delicious? Mom."

  "What does it taste like?"

  "Is it spicy?"

  "It's delicious, it's really delicious." Cheng Yurong chewed the sausage quickly and couldn't pronounce the words clearly.

  Shen Hong wanted to reach out for a piece of grilled sausage, but was slapped by Ruan Ruan. "Daddy, you can't eat it."

  She still held grudges.

  "Girl... dad wants to eat..." He retracted his hand and looked at Ruan Ruan aggrievedly.

  She picked up the second sausage, dipped it in chili powder and gave it to Xu Wanrou. "Sister Xu, eat it."

  "Thank you, little sister."

  The third one was given to Shen Zhiyuan.

  "Little sister, you can eat too! Let's do it ourselves." He took the third sausage.

  "Brother, eat quickly." Ruan Ruan said with a straight face.

  "Fourth brother, this is yours, try it quickly." She skipped Shen Zhiyu and handed the fourth sausage directly to Shen Zhijie.

  He was embarrassed to look at his father and third brother, but couldn't help but take the sausage and eat it.

  Shen Hong and Shen Zhiyu blinked but did not dare to speak.

  "Fifth brother, eat quickly." Ruan Ruan ignored the two of them and handed the fifth sausage to Shen Zhicheng.

  "Okay, sister is so kind to fifth brother." He glanced at Shen Zhiyu proudly, took the sausage from her hand, put it directly into his mouth and took a big bite.

  Fortunately, it had cooled down a bit, otherwise he wouldn't have had it in his mouth.

  "It's delicious...hoohoo...hot...yummy, so delicious..."

  Ruan Ruan picked up another piece of grilled sausage, bit off a piece and chewed it. The familiar taste entered her stomach, making her feel very happy.

  "It's delicious, it's delicious..." Her eyes were wet. Although she had no relatives in that place in her previous life, as a modern person who has lived there for twenty years, she still misses the high-tech and convenient life of the 21st century.

  Everyone was so busy eating sausages that they didn't notice her crying.

  But Shen Hong and Shen Zhiyu saw it.

  "Daughter, what's wrong with you?" He picked up his daughter and put it on his lap, knowing that she remembered something unpleasant.

  "Tell daddy, okay? Daddy will buy you candy."

  "..." Ruan Ruan bit his lip and refused to speak.

  "Daughter..." Shen Hong was still talking, but when he opened his mouth, something was blocked.

  I couldn't help but lick it. It was fragrant, spicy, and so delicious.

  It turned out that Ruan Ruan thought he was verbose, so she stuffed half of the sausage into his mouth and jumped off his lap.

  "Sister..." Shen Zhiyu also wanted to care about her, but before he could hold her, she stuffed a heavily-stained sausage into his mouth.

  "It's delicious..." He praised while chewing, his eyes shining.

  He ate a sausage in two mouthfuls. When his sister ignored him, he quickly picked up a sausage, dipped it in some chili powder, and stuffed it into his mouth.

  Shen Zhiyuan and others also showed off the grilled sausages, and they couldn't eat anymore until their stomachs were full.

  There were only a dozen grilled sausages left on the plate, which were rewarded by Shen Hong to the school boy of Shen Zhiyuan's fifth brother.

  Ruan Ruan was full after eating two sausages. She touched her round belly and thought that she was still too small.

  Cheng Yurong told Aunt Zhou to buy an extra hundred kilograms of pork tomorrow and make more sausages for all the servants in the house to eat.     In addition, leave some to sell at Yipin Pavilion to see if you can make some money.

  She has to save a dowry for her daughter.

  ...

  A few days later

  , there was a long queue of customers at the entrance of Yipin Pavilion. From a distance, it looked endless.

  "I heard that Yipin Pavilion has a new dish. There are some cucumbers and grilled sausages. I heard others said they are very delicious, so I will try them too."

  "I heard about it too. The taste is so delicious that I will swallow my tongue. I smelled it once and it was delicious. "

  "Hey, ask me! I ate it once yesterday and it was so delicious. I wanted to grab other people's sausages to eat. Yipinge only has three sausages per person. "

  "Huh? Why can I only eat three sticks? I have a lot of money."

  "That's right, I don't care. I will buy a hundred sticks to eat later. I am not short of money."

  "You are not short of money, and neither is Yipinge . I'm short of money. The process of making sausages is complicated and there are so many people eating them, so the cooking speed can't keep up with the customers.

  "I don't care, I just want to buy fifty sausages."   There was a noise from the customers outside

  .

Noisy, the guests in Yipin Pavilion were also noisy.

  The shopkeeper was so busy that he quietly gave away his daily share of five sausages to the troubled customers, so that the turmoil calmed down.

  "Madam, please make more sausages!" The shopkeeper looked at the endless queue and wanted to cry.

  He was worried when business was bad, and now that business is good, he is worried again.

  These guests were all dignitaries and he could not afford to offend them.

  Since the grilled sausage dish was launched three days ago, one thousand grilled sausages on that day were sold out instantly.

  Yesterday I made 2,000 sausages and they were sold out instantly.

  I made 3,000 sausages today, which probably won't be enough to sell.

  Each guest had to buy dozens, or even hundreds, of sausages. It was clearly stipulated that each person should buy five sausages, but people said that there were ten or fifteen people in his family.

  As a store owner, do you sell?

  A grilled sausage costs 100 yuan, which is not expensive but not cheap either.

  Ten grilled sausages are worth one tael of silver. After removing materials and labor, you can still earn half a silver.

  The gross profit from three thousand grilled sausages is three hundred taels, and the net profit is one hundred and fifty silver.

  In fact, the General's Mansion is already so busy that they are so tired that they even raise their hands.

  Cheng Yurong asked half of the servants in the house to help make grilled sausages, and only three thousand sausages were made today.

  Fortunately, I stocked up on 2,000 sticks three days ago, otherwise I wouldn't be able to make it today even if the Hot Wheels were stepping on the smoke.

  Tomorrow's sausages haven't been cooked yet.

  Cheng Yurong was very anxious. She had money but no time to earn it. It was so uncomfortable.

  Just hope everything goes well tomorrow.

  ...

  A few days later   , Shen Hong, who was patrolling the palace, was called to the imperial study by the emperor

  .   "Your Majesty, what do you want from me?" Shen Hong looked confused. In fact, he rarely came to the imperial study.  

 After all, he does not participate in major court affairs and is only responsible for the security of the palace and catching spies.  

 "Can't we find Aiqing if we have nothing to do?" The emperor squinted at Shen Hong, complaining in his heart that he was stupid and couldn't read colors.  

 "Oh, the emperor wants to talk to me." Shen Hong suddenly realized.  

 The emperor nodded and smiled peacefully. "I heard that your wife developed a food called grilled sausage today. All the ministers in the imperial court ate it and said it tasted great."  

 "Yes? I also have to eat a few grilled sausages every day, otherwise I can't sleep. Sleep." Shen Hong looked proud.  

 The emperor said with a dark face: "Really? Is it so delicious?"
