Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

Heyang Pier is similar to what I saw on TV before. There are many passing ships docked at the pier.

Most of the things transported by merchant ships go straight to the capital, and many merchant ships stop here on the way.

In addition to selling goods on the ship, there is another important reason, and that is to stop by and buy some daily necessities.

Because not every county has a dock, if you miss this one, you may have to go far away next time. You must have daily necessities on board and supply them in time when they are not enough.

Therefore, Heyang County also has an advantage, that is, any new gadgets can be purchased or ordered through passing merchant ships.

This is what Shen Ping is interested in, so that when the time comes to transport sewing machines back in large quantities, she will not arouse suspicion.

Although it was early in the morning, the pier was very busy. Many passing merchant ships docked at the pier, and merchants directed porters to unload goods on the pier.

Although it was almost the end of November, many porters were sweating profusely and carrying things back and forth on the ship and dock with their bare arms.

Shen Ping walked around and found a lot of good things. Some of them were on passing merchant ships. Some of the things were damaged or improperly stored during transportation and were sold directly on the dock.

There are many blue and white porcelains among them, which are exquisitely crafted. If they were in later generations, they would really be antiques.

But now that she was in this dynasty, Shen Ping was not surprised. Suddenly, a merchant ship caught Shen Ping's attention.

This was a merchant ship that seemed to be transporting condiments. Before Shen Ping got closer, she smelled a strong smell of bean paste, and Shen Ping stopped.

This ship is different from other ships. It is full of large earthen jars, and there are no workers unloading goods. It should just dock to buy some things.

At this time, a tall middle-aged man in his 40s walked out of the cabin. Wearing a smart outfit, with three-dimensional facial features, a high nose, and deep eyes as blue as the sky, he looked like a foreigner.

This man's face is probably dark because he has been running boats all year round, but it doesn't look out of place at all on this man. He looks so handsome.

Looking at his clothes, Shen Ping guessed that this was the ship owner or manager, definitely not an ordinary worker.

Shen Ping was happy and asked casually: "Sir, are you carrying doubanjiang on this ship?"

The man's face was full of surprise and he looked Shen Ping up and down. The woman in front of him was wearing a fine cotton skirt and her eyebrows were carefully drawn. She looked like a wife from a well-to-do family.

You know, ordinary women don't understand this stuff. The man nodded with admiration: "This lady is right, what I ship is all doubanjiang and soybean paste.

These are all purchased from the Western Regions and shipped to the capital, but how do you know this? Because ordinary people cannot afford these things. These are all shipped to the capital, and only those in the palace can eat them. "

What the man said made Shen Ping laugh a little. She didn't expect that in ancient times, the bean paste and soybean paste were so scarce, and they had to pay tribute from the Western Regions.

But then I thought about it, isn’t this a big business opportunity? Since people in the palace love soybean paste and bean paste so much, this chili sauce must be no exception.

And this soybean paste can also be added with dried chili powder to make chili sauce with different flavors.

The ancient soybean paste is definitely not as delicious as the soybean paste of later generations. If you use the soybean paste of later generations to make the chili sauce, wouldn't it be more popular if you combine the two?

Thinking of this, the corners of Shen Ping's lips raised, blessing her body: "Sir, my surname is Shen, you can call me Mrs. Shen, I have a very sharp nose, can you let me go and take a look?

I'm not crazy. I have something in my hand. I wonder if you are interested in taking a look. It is definitely better than the things on your boat. If you are interested, we can cooperate. "

The man smiled. The woman looked very dignified, but she didn't expect her tone of voice to be so loud. She even said that the food in her hand was more delicious than this.

But then I thought, people should not be judged by their appearance, maybe he really has this thing.

The man was thinking this in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He raised his eyebrows, cupped his hands and said, "Oh, since Madam Shen has this thing, I can take a look. My surname is Chen, and I am the owner of this ship. Came from the Western Region.”

It turned out that he came from the Western Regions. No wonder he looked like a foreigner. Shen Ping smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Chen, yes, but I have a condition. Can you let me try your soybean paste and bean paste?"

"This~"

The man's face was filled with embarrassment: "Ms. Shen, to tell you the truth, this is a tribute. It was sealed before boarding the ship and cannot be opened midway. Once it is opened, it cannot be delivered."

Shen Ping suddenly looked disappointed. She didn't expect the tribute to be so strict.

"Hey! Yes, Mrs. Shen, come over carefully and wait!"

Suddenly, shopkeeper Chen thought that there was still some unused food in his kitchen, so he hurried back to the cabin and took out a small can of something.

While shopkeeper Chen was returning to the cabin, Shen Ping took out two cans of chili sauce from her sleeves (actually from space).

Fortunately, I kept a few jars of chili sauce in my space just in case of emergencies, but I didn’t expect that it would actually come in handy now.

Shen Ping carefully walked onto the gangplank from the pier and onto the ship.

There is a low table on the deck with a few stools.

"Shopkeeper Chen, this is the chili sauce I made. Take a look~" Shen Ping put the chili sauce on the table.

"Ms. Shen, please take a seat." Shopkeeper Chen handed Shen Ping soybean paste and a small spoon.

Shen Ping opened it and saw a scent of soy sauce. She nodded secretly. It smelled pretty good. She carefully took out a little with a spoon, dipped her finger in it, and put it in her mouth to taste.

Well, it tastes pretty good, with a salty aftertaste, but it feels a bit dry. Compared with later generations of soybean paste, it still feels a little lacking.

Suddenly, Shen Ping's eyes lit up and she realized that the only problem was the chili pepper.

"Chili sauce?" I have never heard of this thing. Shopkeeper Chen looked at the two cans on the table with great surprise.

The jar is actually transparent, and you can directly see the contents inside. The red color is attractive.

Shopkeeper Chen looked excited, turned around and took out another spoon, carefully opened the lid, dipped his fingers into the sauce, tasted it briefly, and his eyes suddenly flashed.

"Cough cough..."

Shopkeeper Chen didn't expect this stuff to be spicy, so he choked and coughed twice. But this thing has a garlicky smell, which is like being addicted. It leaves a fragrance on your lips and teeth after eating it, making you want to take a second bite.

Shopkeeper Chen then opened another can. This one had a different taste than the one just now. It was also spicy, but this one had a deeper, different aroma.

"Ms. Shen, you are really good!"

Shopkeeper Chen seemed to have discovered a treasure, his face was full of excitement, right? This was a new business opportunity. He had to talk to Madam Shen to see if they could cooperate.
