Reborn Dad, I Got Rich From Selling Tea Eggs

Facing Aunt Su's question, Lin Jue nodded and said, "That's right! These are star anise, a new species I discovered when I was clearing up wasteland on the mountain!"

Su Chunmei got an affirmative answer and became even more confused.

Lin Jue went to the mountains to find these "messy" fruits, what's the use of them?

Could it be that he wanted to use these star anises for cooking!

These spices are small and ugly, and the color is still unacceptably incompetent sauce purple!

Even if it can really make some delicious food, just looking at its color will already make people lose their appetite!

"Xiaojue, how long will it take you to pick so many star anises? Spices like this are very cheap, you can buy a big bag for a few dollars in the market! There is no need to pick these wild fruits! "

Su Chunmei looked at him with a frown. Sometimes she really felt that some of Lin Jue's behaviors were quite incomprehensible.

What should I do if I go to pick these inexplicable wild star anises, cook them for my wife and children, and get poisoned after eating them?

Isn't this playing tricks and fooling around?

Lin Jue patiently explained to Aunt Su: "The quality of the star anise on the market is completely incomparable with this one! I plan to use it in new dishes in the future!"

"New dishes?!"

Jiang Ci and Su Chunmei exclaimed in unison.

"Husband, are you planning to launch new dishes for sale?" Jiang Ci asked curiously.

Lin Jue nodded and said with a smile: "That's right! Now our family's tea eggs can sell 2,000 a day, which is close to the limit. In the future, it can be foreseen that sales will definitely decrease! Tea eggs are even better Eat, you will get tired of eating every day. So we must introduce new dishes!"

Jiang Ci completely understood what Lin Jue meant.

Indeed, their tea eggs are still a "new thing" to the villagers.

Out of curiosity, they will definitely want to come and buy a few to try.

But once the novelty wears off, the heat drops.

In the future, the sales of tea eggs will definitely not be as much as they are now.

What's more, the price of their tea eggs is not cheap. Even if it does have some magical "magical effect", ordinary families in the village can't afford such expensive food every day.

Launching new dishes can continuously arouse the curiosity of customers and attract them to come to buy. This is indeed a good solution.

"But what do these star anises have to do with the new dishes you launched? Do you really plan to use them for cooking?" Jiang Ci's tone was a little worried.

She believes that Lin Jue's cooking skills are very good and very professional.

But it doesn't mean that every dish he launches will definitely be liked by customers.

If the new dish is made, the market's response will be very bad, and the customers will rave about it!

Then not only will they not be able to make money, but they may also lose money and reputation!

Once the reputation is bad, it is difficult to do business.

Lin Jue will not understand this truth.

Facing the doubts from Jiang Ci and Aunt Su, Lin Jue's attitude was very relaxed.

Whether it tastes good or not, and whether it can be used can only be known after practice!

Whether it's a donkey or a horse, you'll know when you pull it out!

He is still very confident in these spices. This is his judgment from experience as a chef!

"Okay. There's no point in discussing so much. I'll use these spices to make a dish in the evening. Whether it tastes good or not is up to me!"

Lin Jue started to deal with it on his own

These anises.

Jiang Ci and Su Chunmei saw that dissuasion was ineffective, so they had no choice but to let Lin Jue go "nonsense".

He boiled a pot of hot water, poured fresh star anise into the hot water, and boiled it for a while.

This step is called "water scalding star anise". After drying the star anise boiled in hot water, the fragrance will be more intense, the edges and corners will be harder, and the fruit petals will not easily fall off.

Ordinary star anise is blanched in water, and the dried color is brownish red or dark red. The color is beautiful and the quality is good.

This trick is still the method taught to Lin Jue by the old master there when he went to the Fangchenggang star anise planting base!

The small purple star anise was boiled once in the water, and when it was picked up, the water in the cauldron was dyed purple!

He spread the star anise evenly on the bamboo plaques, and then sent them to the yard, where they were placed directly on the roof tiles to expose them to the sun.

On a sunny day, after a day or two in the sun, it will be completely dry.

Yesterday, he also picked some prickly ash and fragrant leaves. The fragrant leaves don't need to be processed. After cleaning, put them in a ventilated place to dry in the shade.

In the case of Zanthoxylum bungeanum, it is also processed in the same way as the star anise.

These peppers picked on the mountain are golden in color after ripening, which is very beautiful!

The color is neither green nor red, so Lin Jue simply named it "Golden Pepper"!

The green Zanthoxylum bungeanum and red Zanthoxylum bungeanum sold in the market are two different varieties of Zanthoxylum bungeanum, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.

The green Zanthoxylum bungeanum tastes numb, but the fragrance is not enough, and the red Zanthoxylum bungeanum is very fragrant, but the numbness is not enough. The tastes of these two kinds of Zanthoxylum bungeanum are complementary.

He doesn't know what the taste of this golden peppercorns is like, and he has to make it into a dish to know the effect!

After dealing with these, Lin Jue had a hasty lunch.

Today's tea egg business is obviously not as hot as yesterday. Of the 2,000 eggs that came in, only 1,000 were sold in the morning.

Compared with yesterday's performance, it was much worse.

In order to sell tea eggs these days, the whole family has been busy from morning to night. Many times, when there are more customers, they don't even have time to go to the toilet or drink water.

Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. As a traditional festival, every family has to go to the festival with their family members, preparing to make zongzi, offering sacrifices, watching dragon boat rowing and so on.

Lin Jue also plans to close for a day off.

Let the two aunts go to celebrate the festival with their family members. They also have time to visit relatives and friends.

More importantly, Lin Jue also wanted to take this opportunity to go home and see his parents...

During the meal time, Lin Jue mentioned this matter to his wife.

"Honey, for the Dragon Boat Festival tomorrow, I will take a day off and stop doing business. I plan to take you and the children home!" Lin Jue said this.

Jiang Ci was stunned for a few seconds when he heard this, and then slowly put down his chopsticks.

She knew that since Lin Jue struggled to build an Internet cafe half a year ago, his relationship with his family has become very rigid.

At that time, his parents did not approve of him opening an Internet cafe, so he insisted on going his own way, and even secretly went through the money his father hid under the bed, and took 5,000 yuan.

His father was furious at the time, so angry that he almost had high blood pressure, he took a broom and drove him out of the house!

Tell him that he is never allowed to step into this house again!

After Lin Jue failed to start a business, she was penniless and had no face to return to her hometown.

He knew that even if he went back, he would be scolded by his father, and there was no way to ease the relationship between the two families.

Now that Lin Jue has finally made money, he can finally pay back the five thousand yuan he owed his father. He naturally wants to take this opportunity to go back and apologize to his parents!

Jiang Ci figured this out, and nodded quickly: "Okay. Let's go home together tomorrow, and bring some gifts along the way. We can't go there empty-handed!"

Lin Jue was also very happy to see his wife agreed, and said with a hearty smile: "I will prepare gifts and so on! My uncle's house has a lot of expensive goods, and after dinner, I will go to his house to buy some cigarettes." Come back with the wine!"

"Don't spend too much money... save it!" Jiang Ci reminded.

"I know my wife, I know how to measure!"

After a hasty meal, Lin Jue came to the uncle's house, and they happened to be having dinner at their house, both husband and wife were there, so they were quite surprised to see Lin Jue's sudden visit.

Wang Youde thought that Lin really came to tell him about delivering eggs to him today, but he didn't think about it, but he just said one thing when he opened his mouth.

"Uncle, you should have a lot of good tobacco bars at home? I want to buy some from you as a gift!" Lin Jue said directly.

Wang Youde was stunned for a moment, who is Lin Jue planning to give a gift to?

He also said that he wanted good tobacco and alcohol!

"There are things, but you boy, what are you planning to do?" Wang Youde got up and led him to the storage room of his house.

As a businessman, he usually brings some gifts when he talks about business with other big bosses, and when other people come to visit him, they will also bring gifts.

He is also a non-smoker and drinker, and his usual hobby is drinking tea, so there are quite a lot of things in the storage room!

The things sold in the shops in the village are all cheap, even if there are expensive ones, there is a high possibility of buying "fake ones". For this reason, Lin Jue came to find uncle.

"Uncle, what bad things can I do?" Lin Jue laughed, "I want to go back to my hometown tomorrow and bring some gifts for my family!"

When Wang Youde heard this, he also knew that Lin Jue was planning to go home and apologize to his parents.

He raised his hand and patted Lin Jue on the shoulder and said, "You really should go home and have a look. Be nice, your parents will definitely forgive you!"

"I know this, uncle, don't worry!"

Wang Youde took him into the storage room, there were quite a lot of things in the storage room, such as Jian Nanchun, Zhu Ye Qing, Bawang Zui, Feitian Moutai, etc. There were quite a lot of wines.

And basically they are relatively famous expensive goods.

For cigarettes, there are much fewer types, mainly Furongwang and Ruanzhonghua.

Lin Jue took two bottles of Moutai and two bottles of Furong Wang. Moutai mainly has the potential to increase in value, and the longer it is kept, the more valuable it becomes.

Fu Rong Wang is the brand my father usually likes to smoke. He doesn't understand cigarettes, he doesn't know good or bad, so he can only follow the old man's preference!

Wang Youde saw that he had chosen well, so he said to him: "I bought Moutai years ago, a bottle of 250 yuan, and Furong Wang costs 120 yuan. If you calculate it, it is 740 yuan..."

Lin Jue took out his wallet, looked at his uncle with a smile, and said, "It's cheaper, uncle! How can I say that I'm also your nephew, how about giving it to a relative?"

Wang Youde looked at Lin Jue's clever eyes, and didn't want to argue with him on such a trivial matter, so he simply followed his wishes.

"Okay! Uncle doesn't want to take advantage of you, so I'll give you five hundred yuan!" Wang Youde waved his hand helplessly.
