Such a huge stock of chili peppers undoubtedly occupies a huge opportunity. Even if the news leaks out now, potential competitors will have nothing to do about it, because they are already too far ahead.

Unlike ordinary commodities, cash crops inevitably go through a long cycle from cultivation to large-scale cultivation and harvesting. At least for a year or two, they don't need to worry about strong competitors in the market.

Yang Chunlai was not only happy, but also asked suspiciously: "Lord Lin, where did you come to the big manor here to secretly grow these peppers?" Although Lin Haoran has made a fortune now, he knows very well that this person was still a poor man at the beginning of last year.

"Who said that it must be planted in the manor, that place in Changlin Village is really ...... It's too off-the-beaten! Gu Qingfeng interjected, originally wanting to degrade Changlin Village, but when he found that it was inappropriate, he changed his words.

Changlin Village is far away from the town, and that place is surrounded by a small river, like a "peach blossom spring". Therefore, very few people will pass through there, and with the unity and status of Changlin Village, it is not difficult to achieve secrecy.

In the same way, the old patriarch led the villagers to carry out large-scale planting of pepper in the east of the village, even if it was in the open air, the essence was difficult to be discovered by outsiders.

"Yang Yuanwai, I'll take you to Changlin Village another day, and you'll know what's going on!" Gu Mancang looked at Yang Chunlai, who still looked puzzled, and said to him with good intentions.

Yang Chunlai had already developed a deep interest in Lin Haoran, even if he didn't have this matter, he thought of a trip to Changlin Village, and now that he was invited, he immediately agreed.

Although Shen Liuye couldn't accept the taste of this pepper, he was a smart person and knew that this pepper must have huge potential economic value, so he asked Lin Haoran: "Lord Lin, how do you plan to promote it to the market with such a large-scale planting?" ”

After such a long period of contact, he knew that Lin Haoran was the kind of scheming person, and it was definitely impossible to plant a hundred acres of chili peppers to make a fool of himself, and he must have already had a feasible plan.

"Do you need to ask?!" Yang Chunlai's voice raised, and he pointed to the hot pot and said proudly: "With this kind of hot pot, I have eight restaurants under my name, which can be contributed, and this will definitely become the hottest restaurant in the city!" ”

"Don't show off your few broken restaurants, see how Lord Lin planned it!" Shen Liuye glanced at him dissatisfiedly, and then looked at Lin Haoran respectfully and said.

Everyone agreed with Shen Liuye's point of view, and their eyes turned to Lin Haoran. I don't know when they have become more and more accustomed to obeying Lin Haoran, and everything is centered on him.

If they revolved around Lin Haoran before, it was mainly because of his officialdom status and future, but now, they have been impressed by Lin Haoran's wisdom and business talent.

Lin Haoran took a sip of tea, raised his head and looked at everyone with a smile, and then locked on Yang Chunlai and said, "I have two ideas!" One of them is what Yang Yuanwai said, the establishment of a joint restaurant, mainly to promote this kind of hot pot, to expand the business to the surrounding areas. ”

In later generations, companies that relied on Peking duck, steamed buns and hamburgers to operate to the public, he believed that hot pot as the main product would be able to achieve great success in Daming.

He doesn't dare to guarantee other regions, but he still has a lot of confidence in operating here in Guangdong.

Zhao Fugui objected: "This thing makes some people so unbearable, will it offend some big people?" ”

"What's so hard about that!" Yang Chunlai disagreed, and said eloquently: "Some people can't stand it, but some people will definitely be obsessed, what we do is the business of this part of the people." When the time comes, we will tell them the situation of the hot pot in advance, or simply put a lighter pot bottom, presumably they will really be unbearable, and they will have nothing to say! ”

"There's really no need to worry too much about that! Once this thing spreads, everyone will understand what is going on, and then it will definitely not be able to make trouble! Shen Liuye said very optimistically.

None of the others took Zhao Fugui's concerns to heart, and were very much in favor of the plan of this joint restaurant, and felt that the plan was very feasible.

Yang Chunlai was very enthusiastic about this matter, and after seeing that everyone had no objections, he asked again: "Master Lin, I don't know what your other idea is?" ”

Hearing this question, Shen Liuye and the others all turned their heads to look at Lin Haoran, they also wanted to know the answer, and even hoped that Lin Haoran would surprise them again.

Lin Haoran didn't answer immediately, but looked at Gu Qingfeng with a smile. But he got up from his seat, opened the baggage he had brought, and took out a small porcelain cup.

"This is the first sauce we just baked, the best of the sauce, you can try it...... Dad, you said don't taste it, save it and drink water again! Gu Qingfeng put the porcelain cup on the table, and then enthusiastically introduced it, and reminded his father kindly.

"Lao Tzu can't take care of you yet!" Gu Mancang was just curious and didn't plan to try, but when he heard this, he felt prickly, and felt that his authority as a father had been challenged.

As he spoke, he immediately raised his chopsticks and took a little chili sauce, and then put it in his mouth. In the gloating eyes of everyone, he blushed and stuck out his tongue obediently to find water to drink.

Yang Chunlai and Shopkeeper Weng also tasted a little, and immediately nodded again and again.

Compared with hot pot, Lin Haoran is more optimistic about chili sauce. This thing is easy to produce on a large scale, and it has a long retention period, so it can go north to the capital, but also south to the South Seas, and even float to the table in Europe.

"This sauce is pickled with peppers, and if it is stored properly, it will be no problem to leave it for a year!" Lin knew that there were no refrigerators in this era, so the longer the shelf life of food, the higher the value, and this was the case with table salt.

When everyone heard that the shelf life was so long, their eyes lit up and they realized that it was definitely a good thing.

Lin Haoran said eloquently: "The more salt, the better the preservation time, and this sauce is like this!" This sauce uses official salt, but in private, it uses salt from Donghae Island, trying to consume all the salt there. ”

After all, the origin of the salt on this East China Sea island is unknown, and although it can be sold through smuggling, it is inevitable that something will happen, so Lin Haoran plans to consume this salt in a more ingenious way.

"That's a good idea!" The eyes of Shen Liuye and the others lit up slightly, and they also saw the beauty of this move.

Lin Haoran didn't finish his words, and then looked at everyone and said with a smile: "This is roughly the plan for this sauce, you can participate if you think it is feasible!" As for the management rights of Yipin sauce, I will hand over the full responsibility of Gu Qingfeng. ”

Speaking of this, he turned his head and smiled and glanced at Gu Qingfeng, who was a little excited, he believed that under Gu Qingfeng's management, Yipin sauce would definitely be able to sell well in Daming, and even sail away.
