When Manager Cao saw that Zheng Xiaoman had a new food so quickly, he was so happy that he almost smiled.

They had previously obtained the hot pot recipe from Zheng Xiaoman, and their boss had several restaurants converted into shops selling hot pot.

He has been busy for more than a month, and hot pot restaurants have opened one after another in the past two days.

At first, people were a little hesitant to try it, but once they had it once, they would soon come back for a second and third time.

Their hot pot restaurant has been packed with people every day these days, and money is flowing in like water. How can he not be happy when he sees Zheng Xiaoman?

"Miss, our master has been out for the past few days. I'll give it to him when he comes back."

Zheng Xiaoman didn't care about these few days. She nodded and said, "It's okay. I'm not in a hurry."

She talked to Manager Cao for a while, then went home on a ox cart.

What is Cao Jun doing now? He is selling sweet potatoes in the capital.

After he returned to the capital, he wrote a message saying that he had obtained some new and exotic food and invited some friends and family members to his home to try it.

After these people arrived, he served a table of sweet potato feast.

This sweet and soft sweet potato soon became popular among the female relatives.

The roasted sweet potato is sweet and sticky, it's really hard not to like it.

There was also the candied sweet potato, which the children all ate happily.

Although the man also found the food novel, he didn't have much of a taste for sweets.

But they couldn't resist the women and children at home who liked them so much. After returning home, the women and children still wanted to eat sweet potatoes, so they went out to buy them, but they were out of stock.

In the end, they had no choice but to come to Cao Jun and ask where he bought the sweet potatoes.

Cao Jun pretended to be embarrassed at first, saying that he had come across them by chance and there were only so many of them, so he was asked to buy them all.

When everyone heard that he was the only one who had it, they could only ask him if he could share some with them.

Cao Jun was so happy in his heart, but he looked embarrassed for a while before he relaxed.

In the end, he sold these sweet potatoes at the price of five taels of silver per pound.

Do you think this price is expensive? For ordinary people, it is definitely expensive.

A pound of meat only costs thirty cents, so they would definitely not spend five taels of silver to buy a pound of sweet potatoes to eat.

But for these wealthy families, this amount of money is nothing.

Besides, things are valuable because they are rare. The more expensive it is, the more face the buyer feels.

On the contrary, if he sold it for a dozen cents per pound, they would feel ashamed to eat it.

Cao Jun felt very comfortable making money from these people. The 3,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes in his hands were quickly sold out, and he asked someone to go back and find Zheng Xiaoman to load the goods.

But he doesn't plan to sell too many in one place, so that it won't be unusual.

So he sold about 6,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes in the capital and stopped selling them. Then he took the remaining sweet potatoes and ran to the south.

He changed two more places in the south and finally sold another 15,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes.

In total, he sold 22,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes.

A pound of sweet potatoes cost ten taels of silver. On this trip, he earned 110,000 taels of silver.

He got 40% of it, which was 44,000 taels.

This business can be said to be a no-cost business, he just spent some money on transportation and horses.

Moreover, the sweet potatoes have gained some fame this year, and I think they will sell better next year.

He held the banknote in his hand and smiled until his eyes were almost narrowed.

He was right, that little girl was his lucky star.

When Cao Jun came back from the south, Manager Cao gave him the sausages.

Along with the sausages, there is also the proceeds from the recent hot pot sales.

Cao Jun first asked someone to make sausages for him while he looked through the account book.

Within this month, all the money invested in the hot pot restaurant has been recovered.

A lot of the finished hot pot base they made were also sold.

He opened a workshop specifically for making hot pot base, where he sells ready-made hot pot base.

Cao Jun does not share the profits from the hot pot restaurant with Zheng Xiaoman. What they originally discussed was only the share of the sales of the hot pot base.

However, he has to pay Zheng Xiaoman for the hot pot base used in his restaurant.

In fact, he already knew the recipe, so he could completely hide the fact that he was running a hotpot restaurant.

But he can't help but be greedy for these small benefits, as he still hopes that Xiao Fuxing will make money for him in the future.

The steamed sausages were quickly brought up from the kitchen. Cao Jun, who was originally looking at the account book carefully, was attracted by the aroma of the food on the plate.

He put down the account book, walked over to the table and sat down, carefully examining the new food in front of him.

Manager Cao came over and said to him, "Miss Xiaoman said that these sausages come in two flavors. The one on your right is spicier."

Cao Jun nodded, picked up the chopsticks and tasted a spicy piece.

He tasted the food in his mouth carefully, then picked up a piece of another flavor and tried it.

Although both are sausages, there is a big difference in taste.

After tasting the sausage, he opened the letter Zheng Xiaoman left for him and read it.

In the letter, Zheng Xiaoman told him in detail his original intention of making sausages and the advantages of sausages being easy to carry.

No wonder Cao Jun laughed out loud after reading it.

He said that although the sausage tasted okay, it probably wouldn't sell very well.

First of all, ordinary people will definitely not buy sausages, because sausages are much more expensive than ordinary meat.

The second group is wealthy families. They like to eat fresh food. It is okay to eat sausages occasionally, but not too much.

However, if this sausage is sold to traveling merchants, it is indeed more suitable than selling it to the above two types of people.

In addition to being sold to traveling merchants, these sausages can also be sold to restaurants and inns, and are great as side dishes.

Cao Jun put away the letter, thinking that he still had to go pick up his old friend, and it was a good opportunity to send the share of the sweet potatoes and hot pot base to Zheng Xiaoman.

So the next day he took a carriage and went to Wangjia Village again.

That day was already the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, and Zheng Xiaoman was a little surprised when he saw Cao Jun again.

Zheng Xiaoman invited Cao Jun into the house and brought him a cup of hot tea.

"Uncle Cao, drink some hot tea to warm yourself up first."

Cao Jun took the tea and took a sip, feeling the warmth from the cup with his cold hands.

"Uncle Cao, why are you here at this time? Is there something urgent?"

Cao Jun took another sip of hot tea, then shook his head and said, "It's nothing urgent. I just came here to give you the money from selling sweet potatoes."

This time it was Zheng Xiaoman who was stunned. She didn't expect this person to come and give her money during the New Year. "

"Uncle Cao, I'm not in a hurry to use the money. You can give it to me the same amount after the New Year."

Cao Jun smiled and waved his hands, "It's okay, I just happened to be here to pick up Fang Chengru, so I just stopped by."

Zheng Xiaoman remembered that his brother said that Fang Xiucai would not spend the New Year in the village, and it turned out that he was going to Cao Jun's place.

It seems that the relationship between these two people is really good, otherwise Fang Xiucai would not go to the other's house to celebrate the New Year every year.

In that case, Zheng Xiaoman accepted the silver note that Cao Jun handed over with peace of mind.

But when she saw the thick stack of banknotes, she could no longer remain calm.

She looked in shock at the thick stack of silver notes in her hand, all of which had denominations of two hundred and five hundred taels.

How much taels does the stack of money in her hand weigh?

She swallowed hard and counted them one by one with trembling hands.

When she finally got the total, she even wondered if she had counted wrong.

So she sorted the banknotes out again and counted them again from the beginning.

This time the number was the same as before, she did not count wrong.

Oh my god, she, she became rich overnight?
