However, in the evening, the weather was much cooler. Everyone felt less hot. Many people brought their families and came because of their reputation. As a result, business was quite good at night. Sometimes, it was even full.
They had been in business for so many days, and many people kept coming back. Naturally, many people wanted to buy the seasoning at the shop to cook it at home, but Xue Sifu said that this was the secret recipe of the shop that could not be sold. They relied on this secret and did not sell to others.
Who would dare to open a restaurant like this without a secret recipe? This was how they prospered in their business. Slowly, the questions stopped coming in.
Since the barbecue shop was making a lot of money, Xue Dafu, Liu Guixia, and the others were naturally worried that the c.u.min collected by their family would not be enough. They hoped that those people who helped their family dig wild seedlings could find enough c.u.min for them. Therefore, when they saw all that c.u.min being delivered, they were overjoyed.
Then, they insisted on keeping these people for a meal before leaving. They even gave them a lot of money.
Shao Zhongxi’s men had received gifts many times before, so they were already very experienced in receiving them. In addition, Xue Yan and Jiang Yue had already instructed them to accept whatever Xue Dafu and the others gave them every time to buy wine. Therefore, they were much happier than the first time they came to deliver gifts. Even so, Xue Dafu and the others did not notice anything unusual.
After lunch, Xue Dafu enthusiastically sent off the people who had sent c.u.min to their house today. Only then did he shout, “Let’s go. We’re going to the mountains to collect litchi. Didn’t Jiang Yue use that fruit to make something like jelly yesterday? We’ll bring people to collect the fruit, peel off the skin, cut it open, and dry it. Later, Sifu will take it to town to make jelly as a dessert.
They’ll give a small bowl to everyone who comes to the shop to eat barbecue. Sifu told me that this will attract more people to eat barbecue and make more money than selling it at the noodle shop!’
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had gone to the field to pick some litchi a few days ago. When they came back, they peeled the fruit, cut it into two, and turned it over, revealing the dense sesame-like fruit inside. They dried it under the sun until they came back from the old house in the evening. Then, they wrapped the dried fruit with gauze and washed it repeatedly in clear water to squeeze out all the colloids inside. Then, they took away the gauze wrapped in the fruit and let it sit for a few hours. The water turned into jelly.
At this time, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan hadn’t gone to the old house yet. Hearing this, they looked at each other.
If it was an ordinary person, they would choose to sell it immediately, but Sifu was like this… It was enough to show that Sifu was extremely talented in doing business.
“Father, I’ll go help too.” Xue Yifu walked over and smiled.
“There’s nothing we need help with. Erfu and I are only going to oversee the progress. We can hire people to do these things now. When we need your help, we’ll call for you, sounds good? For now, you can do what you like. Didn’t you say that you wanted to make more blueprints for Yifu?” Xue Dafu chuckled.
Hearing that, Xue Yan instantly froze.
In his previous life, he had forgotten he had done a big drawing for Yifu. Coincidentally, that night, someone came to his house to steal the secret letter that the Prime Minister had written to him. Yifu happened to see it and was killed with a knife at that time..
