Xiao Ruoshui and the others didn't know what Beibei was thinking. Anyway, they accompanied the princess to do business just to get on good terms with her. Of course, whatever the princess said was what they did.
"My lord, this is a good idea. Should we make these trinkets now? But we don't know how to make them. What should we do?"
Beibei was very satisfied with Xiao Ruoshui's support, and said with a smile: "It's okay, you can ask Aunt Qingyue to teach you something. Aunt Qingyue is a great painter, Aunt Qingyue, please take out your paintings."
These paintings are the design drafts of some of the best-selling small accessories in Kyoto before. The things from there have not yet been circulated here. Even if they have, they are finished products bought directly from Kyoto and sold here at a high price.
But Beibei didn't care. She had the design drawings, so she just had to follow them. Well, since she was going to do it herself, she had to be sincere: "Let's go out and find the raw materials, rabbit fur, fox fur, etc., and some nice fabrics. So, let's divide into groups. There are six of us here, two people in a group, and we'll gather in the afternoon."
After everyone was assigned what to look for, Beibei sent everyone away. As soon as the plan was finalized, it was notified to Nannan, or more precisely, to Xiao Wen.
After all, most of the people who came here were from the Xiao family, and Xiao Ruoshui's maid did not hide it at all and let Xiao Wen get the news directly.
"Sir, the princess and the others are planning to sell trinkets, so what are we going to do?"
Nan Nan smiled mysteriously: "We sell food, as long as we don't lose too badly, I've made up my mind, let's set up a stall to sell spicy hot pot."
Nannan, Nanbei and Beibei are indeed twins, a boy and a girl. In fact, they have the same idea. At the trade fair, they saw the vendors with smiles on their faces, which was very contagious. Nannan has wanted to try it for a long time, and she didn't expect that she finally has the chance now.
Malatang? This thing is not easy to move to the table and chairs, so Xiao Wen and others didn't know there was such a food. Or maybe most people here eat seafood and rarely eat Malatang, so these rich young masters don't know.
Nan Nan was also well prepared: "I have asked Aunt Qinglian to prepare the ingredients. We can prepare them now and set up the stall in the afternoon."
He knew that the food that Beibei wanted to sell had not been prepared yet. As a brother, he felt that he should give in to his sister. In fact, his spicy hot pot cart was not ready either. It would probably take a whole morning, which was just enough time to prepare the ingredients.
Looking at the young masters that Xiao Wen brought with him, there were exactly six of them: "Are you really determined to set up a stall with me?"
This was really a novel experience. Liu Sheng was the first to speak: "Of course, if the prince can do it, we can do it too."
Nan Nan laughed. If that's what you said, then just follow my lead: "Then follow me."
Qinglian couldn't help laughing when she saw Nan Nan coming over. She didn't know what had provoked her young master to run to set up a stall one by one.
"Master, the ingredients are ready. All the vegetables in the market are here. Do you want me to help you sort them out? The soup is already cooked, and the coal and pot are ready. All we need is a cart."
Nan Nan had thought about it last night, and asked Qing Lian to prepare it. Now hearing Qing Lian's words, Nan Nan shook his head: "No, I want to run my own business, of course I will do it myself, I will do it myself, wash the vegetables, and prepare the dishes."
The other people were usually well-to-do gentlemen, so how could they do this? Not to mention washing the vegetables, they just looked at the dishes and felt like they didn't know where to start. Everyone looked at Liu Sheng and Xiao Wen, maybe these two knew something
Liu Sheng's mouth twitched, and he looked embarrassed. He knew nothing. Fortunately, Qinglian saw the embarrassment of these young masters and couldn't help laughing. Then he stepped forward to tell these young masters how to deal with these vegetables and meat.
Nan Nan was threading meat on skewers. He had some internal skills so it looked very easy for him to do the job. However, the other people were having a hard time.
Didn't this prince really come here to mess with them on purpose? Why did they do such a thing? After finally stringing the dishes together, Nan Nan felt hungry.
Smelling the aroma coming out of the pot, he blinked his eyes and said, "How about we try it ourselves first and give you some suggestions? If it doesn't taste good, we can make corrections."
When Liu Sheng and Xiao Wen heard this, they immediately nodded and agreed: "The prince is right."
When the soup started to smell delicious at the beginning, they almost drooled. Now, after hearing the prince's words, they all took their favorite dishes and threw them into the pot without any reminder from him.
Nan Nan blinked her eyes, feeling that all her work was in vain. Sure enough, the ingredients were eaten up by the boys, and they were all dumbfounded.
It took almost an hour to prepare these ingredients, and now they have been eaten. What can I use to set up the stall? Qinglian looked at the dumbfounded expressions of the young masters and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Don't worry, young masters. I have prepared a lot of food. I am bringing it up now. Come on."
The young master said that they couldn't help with this matter because they said they had to rely on themselves, so I'm sorry to trouble you. Qinglian stood aside as she carried some more food over and looked at them with a smile.
Several people looked at each other helplessly, and then started to wash, cut and string vegetables. Xiao Wen looked at Nan Nan a little embarrassedly: "Sir, this spicy hot pot tastes really good, we will definitely be able to sell it well."
The stalls here sell fish and other things, but very few vegetables, so this stall might be able to make a lot of money!
Nan Nan nodded with a smile: "It's okay, just treat it as a game."
Xiao Wen didn't know what to say for a moment. He always felt that the prince's hobby was really not something that ordinary people would have. He could only speed up. He was slow at the beginning because he was not skilled, but he became skilled later.
In just one hour, the amount of ingredients prepared was twice as much as before. It seems that practice really makes perfect. Xiao Wen looked at Nan Nan curiously: "Prince, have you thought about how to sell it?"
Nan Nan had thought it through: "I've thought about it. Meat is three cents a skewer, and vegetables are two cents a skewer."
Because the vegetarian dishes here are not cheap, Nan Nan doesn’t sell them for one cent a string. He has to make two cents to break even and still make a small profit.
Xiao Wen couldn't help but admire the prince for having prepared everything. At this time, a cart came, and with the help of Qinglian and others, the coal and boiler were moved onto the cart. Xiao Wen, who was the tallest, pushed the cart and went out to set up a stall.
Xiao Wen had never done such a thing in his life. He was a boy of twelve or thirteen years old. When he just went out and looked at other people's expressions, he felt like he was mature as a person.
It was really embarrassing. The most important thing was that the parents, when they heard that their son was going to do business with the prince, came to see what was happening. When they discovered Xiao Wen's behavior, they were really at a loss whether to laugh or cry for a moment.
Although I felt a little embarrassed, but seeing that the prince was also inside, I didn't dare to step forward to stop it.
Nan Nan frowned and looked at Xiao Wen: "We can't sell it here. Do you know where in Fucheng all the food is sold?"
Xiao Wen really didn't know, but Liu Sheng knew: "I know, but it's a bit far from here, on a pier."
Liu Sheng had been to that pier before when he went to pick someone up. He didn't know what those people were selling at the stalls, but they were selling something anyway.
Fucheng also has a dock, but it's far from where we live, so we don't have to worry about that. Nan Nan quickly asked someone to bring the carriage over, and then put all the things on the carriage, and soon arrived at Fucheng Fourth Dock.
There are many docks in Fucheng, most of which are located in other small towns in Fucheng. As the most prosperous city in the area, Fucheng also has many docks. In order to facilitate distinction and management, they are directly named Dock One and Dock Two.
Since the Fourth Pier is relatively close, we decided to go to the Fourth Pier. There were many people at the pier, and there were many stalls selling all kinds of strange things, but the most common ones were fish and shrimp.
Nan Nan remembered that her mother loved to eat shrimps, but she didn't know when she would come back. Forget it, she would wait until she earned some money and use it to treat her mother to a good meal.
A few little guys got off the carriage. Xiao Wen was still pushing the cart. Then he pushed the cart out, and a unique aroma of spicy hot pot wafted out, making people swallow their saliva all of a sudden. It was so tempting.
Xiao Wen has been paying attention to the reactions of the people around him. It seems that everything is going well. A few people find an empty space and stop. Then they look at each other, not knowing what to do next.
It was Nan Nan who stood up and looked at everyone: "Brothers and sisters, uncles and grandparents, look here, delicious spicy hot pot, fresh, meat is only three cents a skewer, and vegetables are two cents a skewer, don't miss it if you pass by..."
Nan Nan shouted with joy, which surprised Xiao Wen and others. Why was the prince so skilled in doing this kind of thing? What did the prince experience growing up under the princess
The young masters looked at each other in bewilderment, and the other parents who followed them were also in disbelief. If they hadn't confirmed that this was the prince, they would have thought that this was the child of a peddler.
Nan Nan's shouting quickly attracted the attention of others. Seeing these people about to come forward, the parents who followed them became worried and quickly approached the little spy.
The first to come over were Xiao Wen's parents: "Come, give me a portion of everything on your little spy."
This is something his son made himself, how can these untouchables eat it, so let him do it.
What they took out was silver. Nan Nan frowned. These people were so annoying.
