Chapter 90, Chili Sauce (4 more updates)

After the person delivering the jar left, Xie Zhinuan washed the chili peppers and filled the jar to ninety percent full, sprinkling a suitable amount of salt before finally pouring in well water.

She placed the flat lid on top, then covered it with an inverted lid and poured water into the groove around it, "Silly girl, move to the room next to the hall!"

"Oh!" The silly girl replied, hurrying off to work.

The remaining chili peppers, Xie Zhinuan soaked them all, managing to fill only three jars, but those three would last a long while if used for cooking.

As noon approached, Xie Zhinuan thought if the people from across the way were to come over, she would cook poached eggs to sell to them.

However, it would cost a tael of silver, if they were willing...

In the morning a tael, in the afternoon another, and by the end of the day, a pure profit of more than one tael, quite a profitable deal.
