NOVEL NEXT Chapter 231 Source of Supply
Those cooks, you look at me and I look at you.
Finally, the chef in charge of the kitchen stood up and replied:
"Master, the mutton slices at the hot pot restaurant across the street taste much better than the ones at our house."
"Master, it's more than that."
Su Qiumei clapped her hands.
The waiter who was waiting outside the door heard the sound and walked in with a tray in his hands. On the tray were several plates of common vegetables.
"Even their vegetables taste much better than our vegetables."
After the waiter left, Su Qiumei spoke.
"This……"
The cooks were a little surprised when they tasted the vegetables.
They have been cooks for so many years, but they have never tasted such delicious vegetables.
No wonder, no wonder the business opposite is so booming.
With such a comparison, if it were them, they would also choose to eat across the street, right?
The cooks quietly looked at Su Qiumei with grateful eyes.
If it hadn't been for what she did today, the master would still be blaming them for their poor cooking skills, right?
"Do you know who they bought these ingredients from?"
Only then did Su Qiumei find out the difference between the ingredients in their two stores.
How could they find the goods they were looking for so quickly?
Shangguan Siyi's guards and manpower were beyond her control, so where could she go to check?
When Shangguan Siyi asked her this, she could only shake her head helplessly.
Shangguan Siyi looked at Su Qiumei and was silent for a few seconds:
"Tomorrow, you go to Butler Zhao and ask a few people to help you.
Whenever you need money, you go to the accounting office to withdraw it. "
Su Qiumei suddenly raised her head and looked at Shangguan Siyi. She was a little surprised. Did she finally trust her?
She said happily: "I... I will find out as soon as possible. Where is their source of goods?"
The cooks finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that they should be able to relax during this time.
"Master, and their sauces..." a cook reminded carefully.
"Su Qiumei, do you know where they get those dipping sauces?"
"I heard those chili peppers come from overseas."
In fact, Su Qiumei didn't know where Li Ling and the others got their chili peppers.
There are also tomatoes, carrots, and peanuts. They shouldn't have been passed on at this time, right?
However, she was definitely not wrong when she said that.
"Overseas?" Shangguan Siyi frowned.
No wonder!
There were many things that he had never seen before.
He didn't expect that Shangguan Yu would already be involved in maritime transportation at this time?
The profit is very great, and it is also easier to get some novel things, such as new foods such as peppers.
Is his father too partial to him?
If he didn't open a hotpot restaurant, Shangguan Yu wouldn't know about it at all.
When did Li Ling build such a large farm in the villa on the outskirts of the capital of the General's Mansion?
Could it be that she could really calculate that they would open a hotpot restaurant in the future?
So, as soon as he was recognized by the General's Mansion, he immediately set out to go to the villa and open a farm?
You can't blame Shangguan Yu for thinking this way. Who told Li Ling to tell him that she could tell fortunes?
Although he didn't really believe it, it didn't mean he wouldn't think so.
After opening a hot pot restaurant in partnership, the farm was also a place where Shangguan Yu would often come.
How could he have thought of that?
Father quietly went to his hot pot restaurant and had hot pot several times.
Now, all the ingredients for his meals are taken from his hot pot restaurant.
Li Ling still has to treat patients in her own small medical clinic. Occasionally, when there are no patients, she will make various pills at home.
He was much busier than a dignified second prince like him.
Isn’t this? It's time to send vegetables and meat to the palace again.
He couldn't care about others, he only cared about the food rations of his mother, concubine and father.
By the way, there is also that guy Shangguan Ye.
No matter how much it is, it won’t do. Whether it’s poultry or vegetables, they must have a growth period.
This growth period is not short. If the amount purchased by the palace is normal, what is on the farm will not be enough for his hotpot restaurant.
Shangguan Yu had nothing to do today and wanted to go out to play with Li Ling.
As a result, the grandmother next to her said that she was busy making pills and would not be disturbed.
He had no choice but to grab Shangguan Ye, sit in a carriage with Gu Yunqi and Gu Yunyue, and run to the farm to transport ingredients.
The few people in the carriage had only reached halfway when the little wolf who had been lying down next to Shangguan Yu immediately stood up, his ears straightened up.
The nose was still raised, sniffing back and forth.
Seeing Xiaolang's reaction, Shangguan Yu and others also became vigilant.
Only then did they realize that someone seemed to be following them secretly not far away.
"They should know each other, otherwise our secret guards would not be silent."
Analysis by Gu Yunqi.
"It should be the First Emperor's brother." Shangguan Ye guessed.
"Why did he find someone to follow us?" Gu Yunyue didn't want to understand.
"Their people came to our place and ordered a table of food but didn't eat it. They packed it all up and left."
Shangguan Yu's people reported this to him.
"The food in his hot pot restaurant is so delicious. All the customers are coming to your place. They probably want to see where we get the ingredients?"
Li Ling, this sister, is amazing, whether it's the poultry she raises or the vegetables she grows.
The cooked taste is much better than other people's.
No wonder grandma shouted every day, asking them to come to the farm when they had time and buy more vegetables and poultry.
If you really don't have time, go to a hot pot restaurant and buy some.
All the masters in their house can't eat at hotpot restaurants every day.
“We didn’t buy it from anyone else, so it’s useless even if they find out.
Let them follow, let them know but can't buy it, make them mad. "
Shangguan Yu picked up the little wolf and stroked its fur while saying proudly.
Soon, the people sent to follow Shangguan Yu and the others came back.
Su Qiumei received the news reported by the people who came back, and hurriedly went to find Shangguan Siyi.
Going to court makes me sad.
I used to find someone to follow them, thinking that after knowing where they wanted the goods, they could just go and ask for the goods from the other party.
He also thought that if the other party dared not to sell it to him, he would just use some means.
But who would have thought?
Shangguan Yu and the others produce and sell their own ingredients. Moreover, it was still in a manor in the General's Mansion.
If he asked Shangguan Yu to get some for himself, he would definitely not be able to refuse.
But if it is, he opens his mouth and talks about buying it to do business with him...
If it were him, if the other party came to buy his things from him and used them against him, would he be willing?
"Your family used to farm in the countryside. Do you have any experts at growing vegetables?" Shangguansi thought of Su Qiumei's rural background.
"When I... return from my humble job, I will ask my humble mother to find a piece of land and try to grow some vegetables and raise some chickens and ducks."
"Yeah!" Shangguan Siyi nodded.
