Huo Yunzhou's heart felt cold after hearing this. He knew Huang Yun's meaning all too well.

This was prepared for him in advance. If Shen Qing died in the city, he wouldn't be too surprised, let alone seek revenge from anyone. She deserved everything.

At this time, Shen Qing didn't know that his little head could move at any time.

After resting for a night at the inn, early the next morning, she unloaded all the things she had brought with her into the backyard and asked Zhao Jue for an empty room to pile them up.

It was freezing cold and not many people were shopping.

But the street where Zhao's Inn is located can be said to be a street of inns and restaurants. There are four or five restaurants on the two-mile-long street.

Shen Qing asked Shen Wu and Shen Feng to prepare food boxes with a small tea bowl for each side dish.

This is a small black pottery tea bowl, palm-sized, perfect for holding tasting dishes.

Luo Qin went to the inn to find someone to deliver the message. She felt a little uneasy and wanted to find her senior brother as soon as possible, otherwise she would not dare to close her eyes when sleeping at night.

When she came back after delivering the letter, she saw that Shen Qing and the others were not there, so she had to look for them along the road again.

Shen Qing led the two of them along the way, observing all the way. She ignored the small shops until she saw a restaurant called Shiweifang. It was not yet dinner time, so she opened the heavy curtain and poked her head in. When I walked in, I saw the lobby was empty.

The waiter was moving chairs and cleaning tables. When he saw her, he greeted her politely, "What's wrong, girl?"

Shen Qing simply led people in, "Second brother, it's like this. I brought some kimchi, pickles, and chili sauce from my hometown. They are all local specialties of my hometown. I sent them to the customers in your store to try. If you feel like it, It’s delicious, let’s go to the warehouse opened by Zhao’s family ahead to buy it.”

Shen Wu quickly placed the food box on the table, opened it, and took out several small tea bowls from it.

The pickles are brightly colored, making them appetizing at first sight. The pickles have an appetizing sour aroma, along with chili sauce, fermented bean curd, soybean paste, and a handful of sweet potato starch.

Shen Wu explained to the waiter, "This sweet potato flour needs to be soaked in warm water first. Whether it is stewed meat or eaten in a pot, put it in and scald it a little, and then you can eat it. It is smooth and delicious. You will know after trying it."

Perhaps this method of selling was too novel, but instead of chasing people away, the guys enthusiastically came over to taste it.

In winter in the north, vegetable resources are scarce, and transportation is not as convenient as in modern times.

Besides, there are wars at the border every year, and there are not many places to grow vegetables outside the city. Therefore, even if there are winter vegetables such as radish and cabbage, there are still very few people who can eat them.

Not to mention, how many people traveled long distances and hundreds of miles just to transport these things.

Therefore, the unique taste of kimchi and pickles quickly conquered them.

A young boy said excitedly: "You guys wait, I'll call the boss."

Shen Qingzheng was planning to let Shen Wu wait here. She had to go to another house, when she saw a person rushing out of the backyard.

A plump woman in a fiery red coat and skirt arrived first before anyone arrived.

"Let's see who got the pickles. This is what I've missed the most these years I've been away from home."

From the sound of her voice, she knew she was a girl with a hot personality, and when she took a closer look, it turned out to be true.

Ge Hongniang walked over with a smile and saw Shen Qing at first sight, "Ouch! How can such a beautiful little girl come from? Look at her little face, which is as tender as tofu."

She didn't shy away, reaching out to pinch Shen Qing's face.

Shen Qing took a step back and avoided her hand, but the smile on his face did not diminish at all, "Sister praised me. I am just a country girl. I borrowed the east wind from the Zhao family's caravan to transport some pickles. Sister, please give it a try and see how it tastes. If it tastes good, remember to go to the Zhao’s Warehouse to buy it later. It’s a long way and it’s not easy to come here. If you want to make a move, sister, you have to be quick!”

After hearing what she said, Ge Hongniang glared at her with a charming smile, "You girl, you are so cunning, but I really want to try it." Ge Hongniang pinched a piece with her fingers coated with scarlet cinnamon and put it in In her mouth, she smiled just as soon as it entered her mouth.

Then he dipped his fingers into some hot sauce and squinted his eyes, "Little sister, these are ordinary side dishes in the south, but here is the north, and it's not easy to see even a little bit of green in winter, let alone I’m talking about the pickles from my hometown, tell me! What price do you plan to sell them for?”

If she didn't have this kind of business acumen, she wouldn't be able to stand out among men.

Seeing that she was happy, Shen Qing also hesitated and asked Shen Wu to bring out the price list, "We all sell by the kilogram. This batch is just a trial. Wait until next year, more will be shipped. The price is not cheap, sister. I also know how difficult this journey is, but look at the price, can you still accept it?"

Although Ge Hongniang was prepared, when she saw the price tag, she still opened her mouth in shock, "So expensive?"

It is marked on it that a pound of pickles costs [-] taels. You must know that this thing is not the same as a pound of cotton. You can't buy much per pound.

A pound of chili sauce, a pound of pickles, and a pound of soybean paste cost thirty taels of silver.

Not only is it expensive, it’s simply astronomical!
If you put them in the south, if you put them all together, a pound of them would cost you only half a tael of silver.

Her expression was also what Shen Qing expected, "Sister, don't worry, listen to me, you can also buy it without money. You can also exchange it for leather and herbs. If sister can buy them all and make them exclusive, I'm afraid you will The threshold of this store is almost bursting, and there is a more important treasure."

She took out a small packet of hot pot base from her arms.

Originally, Zhao Jue wanted to buy them all. His inn also provided meals, and it was not impossible for him to sell them.

But Shen Qing refused after thinking about it. Professional matters should still be left to professionals.

She looked at the boy and said, "Brother, please bring a soup pot, preferably mutton soup, and a small charcoal stove."

The little waiter was excited when he heard her order and ran to the kitchen without saying a word.

When I came back, the cook from this restaurant was following behind me.

Place the small charcoal stove on the table and place two pieces of red-hot charcoal.

The mutton soup was already hot. Shen Qing put the hot pot base ingredients in and stirred a few times. "Is there any mutton? Here's a plate."

Ge Hongniang smiled and said, "You are just trying to get some food!" Even so, she still asked someone to carry it to her.

Anyway, the most indispensable thing here is all kinds of meat except pork.

As soon as the hot pot ingredients melted, the aroma went straight to the forehead and filled the entire lobby in an instant.

"smell good!"

"It's numbing and spicy. Just smelling it makes you want to drool."

"Yes, I feel the same way. It looks red too. Can you try it?"

"How about pouring the mutton in?"

"Try it!"

Ge Hongniang looked at the young men, attracted by the scent, and didn't care about her as the boss.

The mutton was poured in, and after a few clatters and rolls, several people each picked up a pair of chopsticks and eagerly took it into their mouths.

"Yo yo! So hot, so hot."
