The next day, the Liu family was busy again.

Liu Shi, Aung Jiang and her daughter washed, cut and dried the vegetables according to Lin Xiaoyue’s instructions.

The Liu family bought their vegetables directly from the village as there were many vegetable vendors.

Some people came to ask when they heard that the Liu family was buying vegetables to make pickles.

Liu Shi accidentally promised to buy from a few families, so she collected 300 to 400 catties of vegetables in one morning.

Just as she was worried about rejecting some people in the afternoon, Lin Xiaoyue came back from town.

Lin Xiaoyue saw the mountain of vegetables and suddenly had an idea.

“It’s okay. It doesn’t matter if we make more.”

Liu Shi was about to speak when Lin Xiaoyue thought for a moment and suddenly said, “we don’t need many beans and radishes, but we’ll buy from anyone who sells cabbage.”

“All of them?” Liu Shi was shocked.

“Yes.” Lin Xiaoyue nodded.

“We have chilis now. We can make spicy cabbage. Manager Liang would definitely like it.” Thir cold cake business was deteriorating day by day. The family was short of money now.

In these 20 days, she could make a batch of spicy cabbage and sell them.

“We’ll buy the cabbages from our village first. When the first batch is ready and sent to the Ruyi Restaurant, and if Manager Liang is satisfied, we’ll go to the nearby villages to buy more cabbages.”

She was confident in the taste of the spicy cabbage, even more so than the cold cake. After all, there were no chilies in this era.

Hehe, with chilis in hand, she could do even more…

It was a pity that her family had just bought a shop and she did not have much money left. If she went all out, she was afraid that she would not have enough money.

Thinking about money, Lin Xiaoyue frowned. She had to discuss it with Li Xiao at night.

Lin Xiaoyue convinced Liu Shi and then asked her to make chili powder together.

With chili powder, not only could she make spicy cabbage, but also spicy soup and spicy skewers.

Eh…it seemed that they were short of manpower again…

At night.

Lin Xiaoyue told Li Xiao her plan.

“How much do you need?” Li Xiao asked.

Lin Xiaoyue thought for a moment.

“The more we have, the more we earn. The dish is very versatile.”

“If we can negotiate with Ruyi Restaurant, we will be able to sell quite a bit.”

“This is different from selling cold cakes. If it is stored properly, it can last a year.” Therefore, she really didn’t have to worry about making too much.

Li Xiao understood what his wife meant.

“As for the cost, it’s mainly the jars, cabbage, salt, and other seasonings. There’s also the labor cost.”

“We will be selling spicy skewers next. The chilis in the field will also be collected and processed into chili powder. We will also need someone to help harvest and make spicy cabbage. I’m afraid we’ll need a lot of manpower.” As Lin Xiaoyue thought about it, she could not help but frown.

“In addition, if we really go all out, we might not even have space to store all the jars.”

Lin Xiaoyue looked at Li Xiao.

“I want to build a yard next to our house and have a small workshop.”

“We’ll clean the land next to us and make the house bigger. We’ll use it as a warehouse.”

Li Xiao’s heart skipped a beat.

His wife didn’t look like she was only making spicy cabbage.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled at Li Xiao.

“I didn’t dare to think about it before, but now that we have two shops and we will be selling spicy cabbage, I want to save up money to buy a manor next year.”

Li Xiao was shocked.

Manor? That’s a lot of money.

“You know the value of chilis. We can’t hide it from others. Once more people grow it, we won’t be the only ones.”

“There are also sweet potatoes and potatoes that I don’t really want others to know about.”

“With a manor and a few farmers to help look after the crops, we can earn a lot from selling the harvest.”

“I can turn sweet potatoes into vermicelli and sell hot and sour noodles. The sweet potato vine could be used to feed the pigs. As long as it does not snow in winter, the chilies will grow all year round.”

“Not only spicy cabbage, but also chili sauce and bean paste…” Lin Xiaoyue couldn’t help but feel a little greedy when she thought of the Laoganma chili sauce from the 21st century..
