After unlocking the material space, I raised my younger siblings in a farmhouse.

He picked fresh vegetables every day, but could only wait until the afternoon to sell them at a low price. His heart was bleeding.

But he couldn't say anything. The other person was doing honest business, had paid the money, and didn't take up his position, so there was really no reason for him to leave.

Seeing that the seafood stall owner had no business, the vegetable vendor felt inexplicably relieved. At least he could still sell his vegetables at a low price, while he had not made a single sale.

Today, someone came to ask for the price. She was a young girl. She looked easy to cheat and was about to be persuaded by the man. I don’t know what made her say those words.

As soon as he said it, he regretted it and wanted to slap himself for talking too much.

Lin Chuyi smiled at the vegetable vendor and said, "Thank you for the reminder, uncle."

Then, Lin Chu turned his gaze back to the dry goods vendor, "Can I know the price of these things?"

The stall owner saw that there was hope and pointed at different bags and started to quote prices.

"These sea vegetables are thirty copper coins per pound. I'll give you a flat price of one hundred copper coins per pound for the other dry goods."

Lin Chuyi's mouth twitched. He finally understood the second reason why the things couldn't be sold. The price was too outrageous.

"Don't be fooled by the high price. These sea vegetables can be soaked for several kilograms. They are not expensive at all. There are other things that sound expensive at first glance, but they are actually dried. One kilogram can weigh a lot. You can eat them for a long time. And these things taste really good. I swear to God that what I said is true."

Seeing that Lin Chuyi seemed to be frightened by the price, the stall owner was afraid that he would scare away this hard-earned customer, so he quickly explained and added, "If you can buy more, we can negotiate the price."

Lin Chuyi was somewhat tempted. She had never bargained before. She came here to buy seafood in the first place. If she could get this batch of goods at a cheap price, that would be perfect.

"How much discount can you give me?"

"Little girl, do you really want to buy it?" The vegetable vendor next to her looked at Lin Chuyi with an indescribable look.

"I have never seen these things. My master likes to eat rare things. I am buying them for my master. They look really good. If the price is right, I can buy them all."

"You still want to buy them all?" The vegetable vendor was shocked beyond words.

"Yes." Lin Chuyi nodded with a smile.

The vegetable vendor looked at Lin Chuyi with eyes full of sympathy. He must be a fool.

When the seafood stall owner heard Lin Chuyi's words, he immediately became excited. The total weight of the goods he brought out today was at least 150 kilograms.

If this girl buys all these things, he will have enough money for his trip back to Beijing.

He wanted to go home, the world outside was too scary.

The seafood stall owner's full name is Wang Fugui. His father is the owner of Huixianju, the number one restaurant in Beijing, and he has an older brother, Wang Ronghua.

Huixianju has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it has been passed down to his father for the eighth generation.

Some time ago, his father handed over the management of the restaurant to his elder brother Wang Ronghua.

As the youngest son, Wang Fugui only received 20,000 taels of silver and two properties.

Wang Fugui is different from his elder brother Wang Ronghua. His elder brother was trained by his father as the heir. He has been learning how to manage a restaurant since he was young, and his parents are very strict with him.

He has been spoiled since he was a child, and has always lived a life of luxury and smooth sailing.

After the two brothers got married, their parents divided the property according to the rules left by their ancestors.

Wang Fugui knew from a young age that Huixianju belonged to his eldest brother. He did not have any expectations and naturally would not be disappointed. He happily accepted the money and real estate that his parents gave him.

But then he started to worry. It was a lot of silver, but in the capital city where prices were extremely high, silver was only going out and not coming in, and sooner or later it would be spent.

He is already married and has a wife and children to support, so he naturally cannot just sit back and do nothing. So he thought about starting his own business to make money.

But he had lived for more than twenty years and had done nothing but eating and playing, and knew nothing, so he simply started in the area he was most familiar with.

He didn't have any bad habits, he just loved eating, and there was no famous restaurant in the capital that he had not visited.

There are many important people living in the capital, and they like to send any good things from other places to the capital.

Live by the mountain, live by the mountain; live by the water, live by the water. Every year, the coastal counties and cities supply truckloads of fresh seafood. There are also merchants who specialize in seafood business. However, the transportation time is too long and the amount of seafood damaged in the middle is too large, resulting in high prices for seafood.

Scarcity makes things valuable. The nobles in Beijing do not necessarily really like to eat seafood, but they seek novelty and the sense of superiority of "I have what you don't".

What makes Wang Fugui different from those people is that he really likes eating seafood.

The dishes at Huixianju are exquisitely prepared and every dish is made to be perfect, giving people a sense of style at first glance.

Therefore, many important figures will choose Huixianju as their first choice when they gather or discuss matters. This is also one of the secrets of Huixianju's long-lasting popularity.

But Huixianju also has its drawbacks, which is the lack of innovation.

Huixianju's recipes have been passed down from generation to generation. The chefs are committed to making Huixianju's signature dishes perfect and not damaging Huixianju's reputation.

The store is very busy every day, and the chefs don’t have much time to research new dishes, and they also have to consider all aspects of the problem.

This results in Huixianju's pace of innovation being very slow. For example, seafood that has been sold at high prices in recent years is not within the range of new products selected by Huixianju.

If you choose to create new dishes, you must at least ensure that there are sufficient ingredients every day, as there is a lot of uncertainty with seafood.

What if some important person comes and asks for seafood dishes, but the store doesn't have the stock and can't make them, wouldn't that be offending him for nothing?

Rather than offending people later, it is better not to do it from the beginning. The store has no shortage of business and does not lack the income from seafood.

Wang Fugui ate the seafood in another restaurant and never forgot it. He often went to that restaurant. Later, after getting acquainted with the owner, he learned some about the characteristics of seafood.

However, he was just listening casually at that time. Later, when he wanted to start his own business, the first reaction in his mind was to start a seafood business.

Buy seafood at low prices from coastal areas, then transport it to inland areas and sell it at high prices. The profit between the buying and selling is very considerable.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was feasible, so he discussed the business with his wife.

After Zhao and Wang Fugui got married, the couple got along harmoniously and soon had children. The relationship between her parents-in-law and sisters-in-law was also very harmonious, which made Zhao very glad that she married into a good family.
