Chapter 139 Pepper Futures
Young Master Zhu ate a few slices and put down his chopsticks. He took the handkerchief handed over by his entourage and wiped his mouth. He said with unfinished content: "This fried pork has pepper and cumin in it. I actually ate it, but there must be something else in it." "
He looked at Gu Fei: "What is it?"
Gu Fei smiled and took out the chili powder wrapped in paper.
Young Master Zhu looked at the red powder in the paper bag and asked, "Is this it?"
Gu Fei nodded, "This is a wild fruit I accidentally discovered in the mountains of my hometown, called chili pepper. After it is dried and ground into powder, it looks like this."
Young Master Zhu touched his chin, "You specially made a plate of fried pork for me to eat, just because you want to sell your chili peppers?"
His family has a lot of business, and there are many people who want to do business with him all day long.
Gu Fei actually didn't mean this. She just thought that if Mr. Zhu likes spicy food, she could give him some chili peppers, get close to him, say a few nice words, and see if she can let him share a few acres of her family's land.
But when Young Master Zhu said this, Gu Fei nodded obediently, "Chili peppers can be added to dishes to enhance the flavor. Dried chili peppers are a kind of seasoning and can be added to many dishes. Fresh chili peppers are a kind of vegetable and can be added as well. Cooking.”
Young Master Zhu already wanted this chili, but he shook his head and said, "This chili is good, but the taste is light in this area of Jiangnan. I'm afraid not many people like it."
Gu Fei smiled. People in Jiangnan have light and good tastes. They were the same in the previous life, but don't they eat barbecue? Don't want to eat hot pot?
Which barbecue hot pot restaurant doesn’t use chili?
Gu Fei smiled and said, "It is true that some people don't eat chili peppers, but those who like to eat them will only become more addicted as they eat them."
“And this pepper can be used for many dishes.”
“You can make spicy chicken, hot and sour soup, fish head with chopped pepper, spicy crab, spicy cabbage, fried pork with pepper—”
Gu Fei continued to read, and Young Master Zhu felt that his mouth began to secrete saliva uncontrollably.
“Stop, stop, you can cook these dishes?”
Gu Fei nodded, "Of course, not only can peppers be eaten fresh and dried, but they can also be made into hot sauce. There are many kinds of hot sauces. In short, there are too many ways to eat peppers."
“Even chili pepper water can be used as anti-wolf spray—” Gu Fei said excitedly, and without stopping the car, she coughed lightly, “Well, that’s not important.”
Young Master Zhu straightened up. A piece of meat fried with chili powder was not enough to impress him, but if chili peppers could be used in so many ways, it would be worth considering.
There are many restaurants in Ping'an City. If you want to make a lot of money, the most important thing is to be unique!
Jiangnan people have a light taste, but Ping'an City has a lot of foreign merchants. If you can accept this kind of taste, there must be others who can accept it.
Our restaurant has been a bit dead in the past year, maybe this is an opportunity.
He nodded slowly, "How much chili pepper do you have? If I buy your chili pepper, can you guarantee the supply in my restaurant?"
Gu Fei said a little embarrassedly: "Master Zhu, I only have about twenty kilograms of dried chili peppers in my hand now."
Young Master Zhu was greatly disappointed, "It's just that little, but it will take a few days!"
Gu Fei didn’t even think about starting to sell peppers. After all, they haven’t been planted yet. What if the peppers don’t grow?
But she wanted the land here so much. It was only about two-quarters of an hour away from the city. It was convenient for everything. The most important thing was that Ping An City was a huge consumer market.
Gu Fei mustered up the courage, "Although I only have these few peppers in my hand now, I have seeds and can plant them in spring. I can harvest fresh peppers in April or May next year."
“Fresh peppers can be used to make hot sauce and pickled peppers. These are easy to store and keep, and are also very convenient to use.”
Young Master Zhu raised his eyebrows in surprise, "April or May next year?"
It hasn’t been that long, it’s already mid-December, which is about half a year.
Young Master Zhu knocked on the armrest unconsciously, thinking rapidly in his mind.
