"This thing is called Jasper Green!"

"It was actually because of the painstaking efforts of Zhang Xianren in Qiyunguan, Yangzhou, that it was cultivated. It can be called a spiritual fruit. Men eat health care and women eat it to moisturize them. They can even slice them to apply beauty to their faces, moisturize their skin, and maintain youth..."

Lanqiao Street, Fuchun Restaurant.

Li Xiao smiled and sold his cucumbers to the shopkeeper of the restaurant, with great praise. The shopkeeper was in his early fifties and had a pair of shrewd eyes. Although he did not completely believe Li Xiao's words, the cucumbers placed in front of him were indeed extraordinary.

"Shopkeeper, can you use it for a high-end kitchen?"

The shopkeeper was surprised. Why did he borrow cucumbers to the kitchen?

"I want to use this cucumber to make a hand-painted cucumber for the shopkeeper. After the shopkeeper tasted it, he would know the extraordinaryness of my Jade Green."

"Okay!" The shopkeeper agreed with a smile.

The restaurant's back kitchen should have complete tools, and even the seasonings are complete. The salt is made of snow-white fine salt, sauce, vinegar and spices, etc.

Making a hand-pattern cucumber is actually very simple. Li Xiao skillfully pats, cuts, mixes, and stirs. After a while, a green cucumber is made into several plates of beautiful hand-pattern cucumbers.

The cucumber is very big, and it was made into three plates of one piece, and it was filled with a lot.

"Shopkeeper, please try it."

During the whole process of cooking, Li Xiao made it in front of the shopkeeper and the chef in the kitchen. There was nothing to hide, and they could see the ingredients and techniques they used clearly.

"This kind of cold-mixing method is unusual, but eating cold-mixing dishes in the middle of winter is not suitable, right?" The chef was a little dissatisfied with Li Xiao fiddling on his territory.

The shopkeeper didn't say anything, and walked up and picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of cucumber and put it in his mouth.

It's very cool, then it's very crisp, then it's a little sour and a little spicy. But after these flavors are mixed together, they become very different.

"It's quite appetizing." The shopkeeper felt that if this hand-painted cucumber was added to the menu of Fuchun Restaurant, he would definitely be liked by many customers.

The shopkeeper has a good vision. In this season, such a good cucumber, and this new method, this cucumber is really good.

"Go and talk."

After moving to the room aside, the next conversation was much simpler. The shopkeeper was very interested in the cucumbers brought by Li Xiao, and the next conversation was just a price issue.

After some verbal confrontation, Li Xiao finally reached an agreement with the shopkeeper.

Li Xiao provides 20 fresh jasper green sticks to Fuchun Restaurant every day. As for the price, it is calculated at five cents per stick, which is equivalent to the wholesale price.

Originally, if Li Xiao could promise to only provide it to Fuchun Restaurant, the price would be increased a lot, but Li Xiao still told them honestly that this kind of jasper green is not only sold to Fuchun Restaurant, but also to other restaurants. In this way, the price naturally cannot be too high.

But only Fuchun Restaurant can sell 100 cents a day, which is a considerable investment.

As the sincerity of his first cooperation, Li Xiao also taught the way he used to pat cucumbers by hand to the restaurant.

Twenty cucumbers were handed over to the restaurant, and the restaurant also gave 100 coins of copper. Huang Chengcheng's Kaiyuan Tongbao was very new, and directly paying the bill with copper coins also showed the sincerity of the shopkeeper.

The two sides also made an appointment. From now on, Li Xiao sent someone to deliver cucumbers every day, and the restaurant settled the bill every five days.

"Please stay and say goodbye, shopkeeper!"

"Sanlang walk slowly!"

He bowed and left.

After turning the street corner, Da Biao finally couldn't help but say, "Is this transaction so simple? Or a long-term transaction?"

"Well, it's that simple. We have good things and the price is OK. There is no reason for the restaurant to not want it."

“It’s a little too easy.”

"Okay, the flag will win, let's go to the next one now." Although Lanxi Street is also in a water and land battle, there are not many truly high-end restaurants on the street. Li Xiao did not intend to sell more cucumbers in Lanxi, and a larger market should still be in Chang'an.

It would be great if you could eat twenty cucumbers a day in a Fuchun Restaurant on Lanxi Street.

Lantian County.

It is forty miles away from Lanxi and only forty miles away from Chang'an.

There are obviously a few large restaurants here, and there are even many villas and manors of noble families here. This time, Li Xiao and everyone took action separately, not only to find restaurants to promote them, but even began to actively promote them to those rich families.

Wholesale starts from ten points, the wholesale price is as low as five cents per point, and the highest selling price is as high as ten cents.

Everyone worked without stopping and attacked separately.

Maybe it was because everyone in the nobles did not lack money, maybe it was because the cucumbers in this season were too rare, especially Li Xiao and the others were too tender, especially those that were still tender and long. As a result, when everyone promoted it, they took out Li Xiao's rhetoric. With this packaging, the cucumber immediately became a little taller.

I sold ten of them here and a few of them there. In just half a day, more than a hundred of them were sold in Lantian.

After eating some of the yellow noodles with her, everyone rode their horses and mules to Chang'an. It took only an hour to reach Chang'an. While rushing to Chang'an, Li Xiao sighed at the grandeur of Chang'an City in this era, and was eager to go to East and West City to find a restaurant to promote it.

At this time, Chang'an, as the center of the Tang Empire, implemented the Lifang system, with 108 square meters, and was scattered.

But the business is absolutely not very prosperous. All the shop markets are concentrated in the two closed markets in the middle and west of Chang'an City, both in the middle and west. All vendors and shops are open here.

In addition, they are all residential buildings, imperial cities where the government works, and palace cities where the emperor and empress live. There are no shops in the shops outside the east and west cities.

Even major restaurants are basically concentrated in these two major markets. The so-called "East is noble and the West is rich, and each has its own advantages.

The major restaurants in Chang'an are not only gathered in the east and west cities, but also in the same industry, and the restaurants are basically on the same street, which greatly facilitates Li Xiao's sales and saves a lot of trouble.

After Li Xiao took the initiative to offer a wholesale price of 5 cents and even included a delicious hand-painted cucumber secret recipe, many restaurants expressed interest in his cucumbers.

I buy twenty or thirty of the more, and ten of the less, and I also say that as long as the customers like it, I will be willing to cooperate for a long time in the future.

The first cooperation is all about cash, but the subsequent cooperation will be settled every three or five days.

It was getting dark, and the Jingjie drum on Chang'an City Sixth Street was already ringing.

As soon as the street drum sounded, the yamen reminded everyone to leave the city and those who wanted to enter the city should hurry up. Chang'an implemented a curfew policy. Every day, the gates of the city were closed, and even the gates of each yard were closed. Once the doors were closed, they were prohibited from walking on the street. If you caught someone who violated the ban, you would throw them into prison.

If you waste time, you can only squat in the corner of a market for a night to wait for the door to open.
