Chapter 111: Don’t use doubters, but don’t doubt people when you employ them.
"My dear lady, what is this?"
Jin Baoer looked at the unremarkable bottles of red stuff in front of her and asked Mu Jiaojiao curiously.
There was curiosity in his eyes as if he had discovered something new. He reached out and opened the bottle cap, and there was a pungent spicy smell.
"This is chili sauce, something much better than dogwood."
Mu Jiaojiao watched his movements, took a sip of the tea in her hand, smiled, and explained lazily.
"That's really good stuff!"
Jin Baoer's eyes lit up when he heard this. Many of the recipes Mu Jiaojiao gave him these days used dogwood, which they rarely used before, and were quite popular among diners.
Now that he has discovered an ingredient that tastes even better than dogwood, he is naturally happy. This means he will have a steady source of money!
"Madam Jiaojiao has such a good thing in her hand, why didn't she take it out in advance?"
Jin Baoer thought about it, then said to Mu Jiaojiao with dissatisfaction, with a look on his face that said, "Madam Jiaojiao is really unkind."
"I didn't have much money before, not enough to support the expenses of a restaurant as big as Jin Yu Man Tang."
Upon hearing this, Mu Jiaojiao explained to Jin Baoer.
She used to save the seeds of the peppers she picked, but later on, they were not enough, so she took people to the mountains to pick all the remaining peppers.
But it certainly cannot meet the supply of so many restaurants in Jin Yu Man Tang.
"Madam Jiaojiao means that it's okay now?"
Jin Baoer keenly caught the word "before" that Mu Jiaojiao said, and asked Mu Jiaojiao with interest.
"Not now, but it will be possible in a few months."
Mu Jiaojiao's eyes flashed as she looked at the smart and lively Jin Baoer and answered him.
"How long is a few months? Is this chili sauce really difficult to make?"
Jin Baoer didn't know much about farming and just thought that the process of making chili sauce was complicated.
"Master, that should be what you mean, but how many months will it take for the ingredients for this chili sauce to be available?"
Yu Danping listened to the whole thing. Born in the countryside, he knew something about these things, so he spoke out his guess.
As for calling her "master", it was mainly because he heard Zhao Xiangyi and Liu Nian calling her that when he was in Lihua Village, and he also thought it was nice to follow Mu Jiaojiao, so he naturally called her that.
Mu Jiaojiao did not refute. She admired Yu Danping very much. Yu Danping had the courage to break the darkness and the ability to welcome a new life.
"Well, Danping is right!"
Mu Jiaojiao looked at her free-range little brother with admiration. It seemed that he had learned a lot from Jin Baoer during these days.
“I am currently organizing people to grow the ingredients for making chili sauce on a large scale, which is called chili.
This chili pepper can be used for more than just chili sauce; it can be eaten in many ways, and its taste is on a whole different level than that of dogwood.
Mu Jiaojiao explained to Jin Baoer that she bought a thousand acres of land and planned to use at least half of it to grow peppers this year.
There is a shortage of main seeds, and the seedlings grown are estimated to be only enough to plant half of the fields.
"Is Young Master Jin interested in this business?"
After Mu Jiaojiao finished explaining, even though she saw that Jin Baoer was ready to fight, she still deliberately asked back.
"Hahaha... Madam Jiaojiao knows Baoer. Baoer is naturally very willing to do business with Madam Jiaojiao."
Jin Baoer looked at Mu Jiaojiao and laughed, then looked at Mu Jiaojiao and spoke with a beaming smile.
"Then this time I'll be in charge of production, and Young Master Jin will be in charge of sales. After deducting the costs, we'll split the profits 50-50. How about that?"
Mu Jiaojiao thought for a moment and told Jin Baoer that before, she only provided recipes and Jin Baoer gave her 50% of the profits. This time, she would also give Jin Baoer 50% of the profits, hoping for a long-term cooperative development.
"Okay! Miss Jiaojiao is a straightforward person."
Hearing this, Jin Baoer's smile became more sincere. He really admired Mu Jiaojiao more and more. She had courage, ideas, and skills.
This is not just a country woman, she is simply Jin Baoer's God of Wealth.
After the two reached an agreement on this matter, Mu Jiaojiao looked at Yu Danping who was sitting quietly beside Jin Baoer. He seemed to have changed a lot after being with Jin Baoer these days, and he was less depressed.
"How has Danping been doing with the young master these days?"
"My Lord, Anping is dull and only learned the basics from Baoer."
When Yu Danping said this, a slight blush appeared on her fair cheeks. She looked a little embarrassed, but not at all shy.
"What do you mean by just a little bit? Brother Danping is very smart and learns things very quickly."
Jin Baoer, who was standing by, was dissatisfied when she heard this. Brother Danping was such a good person, such a hardworking and intelligent person, how could he not say such things about herself.
"Baoer, I'm not as good as you say!"
Yu Danping looked at Jin Baoer who was standing up for him with a smile on his face. He felt recognized and his tone seemed to be a lot lighter.
"Brother Danping is very good!"
Jin Baoer turned around, leaning on Yu Danping's shoulder as if she had no bones, speaking in a coquettish tone.
Mu Jiaojiao saw the two of them, her eyes moved but she didn't say anything. Since Jin Baoer, the arrogant and show-off, thought that Yu Danping had learned well, then Yu Danping must be good too.
"Danping, why don't you be in charge of coordinating this chili sauce with Young Master Jin? If there are any issues in the future, you will be responsible for solving them."
Mu Jiaojiao watched Yu Danping make a bold decision and directly hand over the chili industry to Yu Danping.
"Master, this... Danping's ability is limited, I'm afraid he can't do it well."
When Yu Danping heard Mu Jiaojiao say this, he was stunned for a moment, then a hint of excitement appeared on his face. Then he seemed to have thought of something and showed a little hesitation.
"Brother Danping, you can't underestimate yourself. Baoer believes you can do it."
Jin Baoer refuted Yu Danping immediately. This was a good thing. Mu Jiaojiao was willing to give things to him, and her brother Danping was also capable. Jin Baoer was full of confidence in Danping.
"Master Jin is right. Danping, you don't have to hesitate. I'm handing this chili industry over to you because I believe you can do it well.
Besides, you have a good relationship with Young Master Jin, so he will definitely help you. If you work together, you will definitely make the chili industry flourish."
Mu Jiaojiao looked at Yu Danping with eyes full of trust, and spoke to him with great ambition.
"Okay! Master and Baoer trust me, I will definitely do it well!"
After listening to what the two said, Yu Danping's face looked very excited and moved. He clenched his fists and nodded firmly at the two of them.
"Hehe! That's right, Brother Danping will definitely do an excellent job."
When Jin Baoer heard Yu Danping's agreement and saw Yu Danping's fighting spirit, he smiled at Yu Danping obediently with full trust on his face.
Mu Jiaojiao took a piece of dessert from the table, took a bite, and watched the interaction between the two, finding it quite interesting.
The three of them then discussed the details of how the chili sauce would develop.
It was getting late, and Mu Jiaojiao, her master and her servant were ready to leave. Before leaving, Mu Jiaojiao said these words to Yu Danping.
"Danping, don't employ those you doubt, and don't doubt those you employ. I believe in your abilities, so you don't have to feel too much pressure. If you have any questions later on, ask Master Jin. If you have any questions that you can't solve, come to Lihua Village to find me."
"Yes! Master, Danping knows!"
Yu Danping was moved in his heart and showed gratitude on his face, but he did not say thank you again. He felt that getting things done was the greatest reward for his master.
