After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Qin Cunquan was responsible for collecting the money and said with a smile: "The food is already included. Please pay here."

After the first guest paid, Qin Dashi and his wife handed him the twelve wrapped portions of kudzu starch: "You are the first guest, and I will give you two more portions. I wish your family happiness every December. "

"Ha, you are quite good at doing things. I will come to support you tomorrow." He was a wealthy man in the town and was not short of money. He took the food with satisfaction and left.

The second guest asked while paying: "I am the second guest, can I give you more food?"

Qin Cunquan smiled and said: "Yes, the top ten can get more gifts, but except for the first place, the other nine people will only get one more gift."

The second guest immediately laughed: "It's already a good thing to get an extra portion."

"Guest, with your eleven servings of kudzu pink fire cake, I wish your family's life will be prosperous and better every year." Qin Dayan gave the kudzu powder cake to the guest. When he recited the words, he was still a little embarrassed.

"I want arrowroot, egg and garlic cakes, and fried arrowroot balls, all in three portions. My family loves this oily and fragrant one!" After another customer paid, he ate the arrowroot wrapped in big leaves and walked away happily. .

"Freshly baked arrowroot powder osmanthus cake, arrowroot powder jade cake, arrowroot pink red cake!"

"Hey, there are new products, and they look so good. I want all three, plus an arrowroot pink fire cake, two of each!"

"Hey, I'll give it to you." Business was so good that Qin Dashi and the others were so busy that just after noon, the hundred kilograms of arrowroot powder they brought were sold out, and there were still many customers waiting.

Grandpa Qin could only say: "Dear guests, the dried arrowroot powder we brought today has been finished. Please come back tomorrow!"

The customers who didn't buy it were a little annoyed: "It's only been open for half a day and it's sold out. Why don't you bring more arrowroot powder? We didn't even finish it!"

Grandpa Qin apologized: "I'm really sorry. We will bring more arrowroot tomorrow and try to make as much as possible so that all the guests can buy it."

Jiang Dalang sent a note number to the customers who couldn't buy arrowroot powder: "If you come here tomorrow with the note number, you can get the food directly without queuing."

After sending dozens of notes and saying a lot of nice things, the guests were finally sent away.

Qin Xiaomi and the others were so exhausted that after the guests left, they almost collapsed on the ground and rested for more than a quarter of an hour before they finally came back to life.

Grandpa Qin rubbed his sore arm and called to Jiang Dalang: "Pick up the load and go to Si Lifang."

The scribes, yamen servants, and district chiefs from Silifang were already waiting. When they saw them coming, smiles appeared on their faces.

Secretary Lu smiled and said, "Is the stall closed? Come in quickly."

"Hey, thank you sir." Grandpa Qin brought Jiang Dalang in and took out portions of kudzu powder wrapped in oil paper from the basket to eat: "This is specially reserved for the adults of Si Lifang and the head of the village. Thank you very much today, adults. Send someone to help calm the situation."

Secretary Lu smiled and said: "After all, it is a new grain reported to the Chief Envoy, and the adults are paying attention to it. Naturally, we have to help keep an eye on it, so as to prevent those young people from causing trouble and ruining the reputation of the new kudzu grain."

Fortunately, every family in Baofu County cherished their lives and did not come out to disrupt the situation.

Secretary Miao and the others had already gone to see the kudzu powder to eat: "Hey, it's red, yellow, and green. It's so beautiful. No wonder people all over the town are crazy about buying it."

Then he asked: "How did you do this? Why is the color so beautiful?"

Xiaomi said that it only takes a few days for chefs to study the color of melon rinds, so Grandpa Qin did not hide it and told the truth.

The Miao officials laughed and said, "It's rare for the Qin family to have such ingenuity. Not bad, not bad."

The Qin family has really opened up a good way for them to make money. After the arrowroot recipe is made public, their shops in the county can compete for the arrowroot eating business.

Grandpa Qin took another three hundred coins and handed it to Secretary Lu: "This is our stall fee for one month. Could you please Secretary Lu to register it?"

To set up a stall in the town, you have to pay ten cents to Si Lifang every day.

Secretary Lu accepted the copper coins, registered them, and gave Grandpa Qin a wooden sign: "If you encounter a government official questioning you, just take out the wooden sign."

If there is no wooden sign, the stall will be smashed by the government servants.

"Thank you, Secretary Lu." Grandpa Qin didn't wait long. After getting the wooden sign, he left immediately.

Secretary Lu and the others didn't stay long and let them go.

After Grandpa Qin left, Miao Lichang and the others tasted the kudzu starch: "The red fire cake, osmanthus cake, red cake, jade cake, and croquettes are all good. They are comparable to those made by the county dim sum shop, and the price is cheaper." , profitable and can be done.”

Five cents a serving, three cents cheaper than a meatloaf.

Secretary Lu said: "It is precisely because it is cheap that adults value it."

What is food?

Food is considered food only if it is cheap enough that poor families can afford it, and this arrowroot starch has done just that.

He added: "The Qin family is also smart and does not rely on just one family to sell at a high price."

If it was really sold at a high price, the adults would definitely be annoyed when the news reaches the county government.

Secretary Lu added: "We must make good friends with such a smart and capable family."

Miao officials and Miao Lichang thought: "Farmers, for several generations, have only been able to make kudzu powder. As for eating kudzu powder, after the kudzu powder recipe is released, any family can imitate it. The Qin family's stall will soon collapse. Without their livelihood, in another two years, the Qin family will become ordinary farmers and continue to live in poverty... We can't go together with us. It's very unnecessary to be friends. We don't Just rely on your status to bully them."

The reason why the Qin family was able to meet them, the top figures from all over the country, was because the Kang County magistrate valued new grains of arrowroot.

But once the momentum of the new arrowroot crop passes, everything will be back to what it was before.

……

Qin Xiaomi and the others didn't know what everyone in Silifang was thinking. After resting enough, they took the last box of kudzu powder to Old Man Song and his wife: "This is specially left for you two elders. Every kind of kudzu powder is included."

Old Man Song opened the wooden box and took a look. It really had everything. One look at it, and the color made people happy. He smiled and said: "You are thoughtful."

Then he said: "I want to ask you a favor. I have a dozen regular customers here who want to buy arrowroot powder for food. How about you help me keep a portion?"

Grandpa Qin immediately agreed: "It's such a small thing, I don't need the Song Dong family to ask for it, just say it."

After writing down what kind of kudzu powder the regular diners wanted to eat, he put on his iron pot and money bag and returned to the village.

Iron pots were expensive, and they didn't buy new ones, so they had to carry them back, otherwise they wouldn't have a pot to cook at home.

The people in the ghost village had been waiting for a long time. Seeing that they came back safely, some were happy, some were angry, and some said sourly: "Hey, didn't those things eat dead people? How can they come back safely?!"

Qin Xiaomi looked at the woman who was speaking and sneered: "Ms. Qian Gao, by saying this, are you implying that the county magistrate used poisonous things to repay his merits?"

Qian Gao was startled and said hurriedly: "Don't talk nonsense. When did I arrange for the county magistrate?"

Qin Xiaomi stared at them and said: "This is the new food that the county government is going to promote. I advise you not to do anything bad, otherwise you will ruin the promotion path of the adults and you will die!"

"Also Qian Gao, what's so good about Huang Guilu? Do you really want to marry your daughter to him? Before the fine deadline is up, quickly go to the nearby villages and ask if there are any widowers with better conduct who can give their daughter to him. Marrying a local widower is better than marrying Huang Guilu. His mother is the Huang Wu family, how can you fight with your brains?"

Well, Qian Gao was stunned.

Qin Xiaomi ignored them and followed Grandpa Qin and the others back to the west of the village.

"I'm back, how are the sales? Is there someone causing trouble?" Grandma Qin asked anxiously, fearing that they would run into evil people when setting up the stall.

Qin Liupo was the first to say: "This is the new grain of kudzu powder that the county magistrate has given to repay his merits. Who dares to do anything wrong?"

Then he pointed to the money bag Jiang Dalang was holding: "I've made a lot of money, hurry up and count the money."
