In fact, after the chilies ripened, quite a few chili factories contacted us. In the past, these chili factories would give the seeds to the villagers to plant, and then plant a batch themselves, and then buy from the villagers or their own chilies. But this time, they all knew that the Xia family's chilies were of good quality, so they came eagerly.
However, Xia Shiyu currently has no plans to supply the chili factory. One reason is that she doesn't have that much supply, and the other is that the owners of both large and small factories are not offering high prices due to cost considerations.
Anyway, she doesn't have to worry about selling her chili peppers, so why lower the price? Retail sales are very profitable.
As for the price, Xia Shiyu set it at 35 yuan per jin this time. These chilies are light and flavorful. Whether you make them into chili powder or use them in stir-fries, you don't need to add much. One jin can last a long time.
Sure enough, no one objected to the price of the chili peppers, and they generally accepted it after the usual bargaining.
Xia Shiyu instructed the villagers to carefully arrange the picked chili peppers together, taking care not to trample them, before arranging for them to be packed into boxes.
After packing, she drove directly to the city with the driver, thinking she could buy some jars and other things to make pickled chili peppers and chili sauce.
After Xia Shiyu arrived at the place, she first went to see Manager Wu. Manager Wu was very happy to see her and led her inside.
"Hello, Mr. Xia! I've finally been waiting for you, such a busy person."
"Manager Wu, you're too kind. Compared to my hotel business, I have a lot more leisure time."
The two would first exchange pleasantries as usual before signing the order.
Manager Wu also asked Xia Shiyu what she was going to do, and when she heard that she was going to buy jars, she immediately recommended a shop.
"The things there are all pretty good, the quality is very good, and the owner is honest. Mr. Xia can go there with peace of mind."
"Okay, thank you, Manager Wu."
After thanking her, Xia Shiyu went to buy jars. She thought that the jars at home were all old antiques and not enough, so she might as well buy a few more.
So she picked out more than 20 and asked the shop owner to put them in her car.
The boss smiled broadly and said, "Don't worry, all my ingredients are top-notch, and I'll give you a discount too."
"Okay," Xia Shiyu nodded and made the payment directly.
The orders from regular customers have been shipped out, but those from online shoppers will be a little slower, since many of them are still in the fields and haven't been picked yet, so we can't rush them.
Xia Shiyu drove home first, only to find that guests had arrived again.
"Uncle Limin, you've arrived! Please have a seat."
As soon as Xia Shiyu entered, she saw Zhang Limin with a stranger beside him.
"Xiao Yu, it's nothing, I just came to see you today about something."
"What's going on?" Xia Shiyu looked at the stranger next to her and had an idea in mind.
The stranger next to him, Mr. Wang, scratched his head and said with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Xia. A friend of mine recommended your dishes and said they were good. I also heard that you recently released a batch of chili peppers, so I thought I'd come and do some business with you."
The owner who used to deliver mutton to Zhang Limin happened to be on good terms with him. By chance, he also got a portion of Xia Shiyu's dish. After tasting it, he felt it was really good. This dish would definitely be delicious when used for barbecue at his barbecue restaurant.
However, he put it aside for the time being after hearing the price. The basic costs in their barbecue business have to be kept very low, so he didn't even consider it.
But a while ago, Lao Li told him that Xia Shiyu had introduced a new type of chili pepper, which he was sure would be useful.
Mr. Wang thought to himself, "That's right. The cost of these chilies can be increased. Besides, if the effect is really good, we can try mixing in half of the regular chilies."
So he came with that thought in mind.
Xia Shiyu understood after hearing this, but she declined, saying, "Oh, I see. But Mr. Wang, your timing is too bad. Most of my chili peppers are already sold out, and the quantity is really limited. I probably can't supply you right now."
Xia Shiyu definitely needs to stabilize her old customers first, and besides, she doesn't have much stock right now, so it would be a bit troublesome to supply the barbecue restaurant every day.
