Chapter 1629: Chapter 1628: The Pavilion Near the Water Enjoys the Moon First
Qiao Xiaomai really didn’t want to stir up anything; she was just used to selling some new items to earn a bit of silver to maintain the expenses of the bluestone road along the canal.
Spicy Strips, two hundred pounds a day, two hundred and fifty taels per pound, that’s fifty thousand taels a day, and one and a half million taels a month.
If you included the profits from sweet potato balls that rival monkey brains, then it would be several million taels of silver a month.
That was enough to cover the expenses.
Actually, she didn’t want to enforce a limit on Spicy Strips. After all, aside from the Capital City, there was an even broader market. But chili peppers were really scarce, and she set the limit after budgeting carefully. Selling two hundred pounds a day like this, the chili peppers could barely last until next spring.
By spring next year, when the winter peppers mature, there would be fresh chili peppers ready to use.
Chili peppers were still too scarce and couldn’t even satisfy the market in the Capital City. Currently, she could only use them to make snacks like Spicy Strips; many classic spicy dishes were simply out of the question.
In the next ten years, chili peppers would continue to be profitable, and not just profitable—massively profitable.
Moreover, chili peppers could not only be used as a condiment but also as medicine.
One day, Jina came to the Field Manor to visit Qiao Xiaomai, wanting to buy extra Spicy Strips.
Spicy Strips were sufficiently spicy; when eaten, not only did one’s tongue revel in the sensation, but after eating, one’s body would sweat a layer, warm and cozy.
Winters on the Grassland were quite cold, and she wanted to buy some Spicy Strips to bring back to the Grassland so her family could enjoy them while warming up.
"Honestly, these are truly great, better than wine." Jina looked sincerely at Qiao Xiaomai, her face full of anticipation.
These words blocked what Qiao Xiaomai was about to say.
She had wanted to say that drinking wine was better for warming up than chili peppers.
Seeing Jina’s hopeful gaze, she hesitated and said, "The main issue is that chili peppers are too scarce; otherwise, I’d sell you as much as you want."
"Please, Miss Qiao, please, I only need a thousand pounds, just a thousand pounds," Jina said, raising her fingers and waving them in front of her. "I want my parents to taste them."
Seeing this, Qiao Xiaomai hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed.
Fine, selling to anyone is selling. For the friendship between the Grassland and Daqi, sell.
She agreed, and Jina jumped up in excitement, quickly instructing her maid to move the gold blocks up. She no longer paid with cattle or sheep these days; she paid with gold bars, showing immense extravagance.
Qiao Xiaomai accepted the heavy gold blocks and then made a thousand pounds of Spicy Strips for her.
Jina got her Spicy Strips and immediately packed them in ice blocks before rushing them to the Grassland on horseback, not keeping even a single pound for herself.
Such filial loyalty—Qiao Xiaomai liked her kind of personality.
For the friendship between the Grassland and Daqi, Qiao Xiaomai added an extra five pounds for her.
Five pounds of Spicy Strips—this was an extraordinarily valuable gift. Others fought tooth and nail to get even a little, yet she unexpectedly received five pounds!
Jina was overjoyed. After returning home, she organized a banquet and invited her friends over for a Spicy Strips feast.
She had married into the Capital City a year ago and managed to make two or three friends. Friends weren’t about quantity but quality; getting along harmoniously was the most important thing.
Other people in the Shadow Puppet Theater fought tooth and nail for the strictly limited Spicy Strips, while Jina could use them for a small banquet. Word of this soon spread, and many felt quite envious. This Barbarian’s relationship with Qiao Xiaomai was clearly so good—it was too convenient, wasn’t it?
So, many people once again sought out Jina, hoping to ask her to purchase Floral Dew from Qiao Xiaomai. Last time, many missed out, and now, three or four months later, the miraculous effects of Floral Dew had been proven by countless people. Floral Dew had already surpassed everything else to become the most legendary divine item in all of Daqi.
