Chapter 80: Seasoning

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In town, it was customary for there to be a market every three days, and it would take four days for the market to complete its cycle.

Since Qin Zhenzhen’s arrival in this world, it was already the third market day.

On the first market day, she had set up a stall with Su Ning and Su Cheng to sell pancakes.

However, on the second market day, they didn’t continue selling pancakes because they needed to focus on digging yams and sun-drying them.

Since Qin Zhenzhen’s pancakes had gained considerable popularity on the previous market day, some individuals became jealous and attempted to imitate her pancakes to sell.

However, these imitations fell short in comparison to the taste of Qin Zhenzhen’s original pancakes.

Consequently, many people approached Qin Dalong and his brother, inquiring, “Why isn’t your sister selling pancakes?”

Qin Dalong relayed what Qin Zhenzhen had told him.

“My sister mentioned that the reason her pancakes taste so good is because she incorporates a special seasoning into them.”

“This seasoning has the ability to enhance the freshness of any dish it is used in.”

“She isn’t selling pancakes because she wants to focus on making this seasoning.”

The explanation made sense to the curious individuals.

They understood that when they had limited resources, simply adding salt to their dishes would suffice. It was only the affluent individuals who would invest in using various seasonings during cooking.

They continued their questioning.

“Isn’t it laborious to make this seasoning?”

“Considering the time your sister invests in making it, does she produce a significant quantity?”

“Is she planning to sell the seasonings?”

Qin Dalong chuckled. “You’re absolutely right. My sister genuinely wants to sell affordable seasonings. She believes that good things should be shared.”

The curious individuals responded, voicing their concern, “That sounds wonderful, but will the seasonings be expensive?”

“We won’t be able to afford them if they’re too costly. If they’re reasonably priced, we can definitely consider it.”

Qin Dalong laughed reassuringly. “Don’t worry, my sister assures me that they will be very affordable!”

“For real? You can’t deceive us!”

It was a common belief that only palace chefs or prestigious restaurants could create high-quality seasonings, which consequently made them quite expensive.

Qin Dalong placed his hand on his chest and made a solemn promise.

“Why would I lie to you? I, Qin Dalong, never lie. But let the truth speak for itself. If you find the seasonings to be reasonably priced, we would appreciate your support. If you believe they’re expensive, we’ll drop the idea altogether.” On the third market day, Qin Zhenzhen and her companions continued selling pancakes, yams, and yam bean candied haws.

However, this time, Qin Zhenzhen didn’t intend to make as many pancakes. Selling the yam bean candied haws and vegetable pancakes served as secondary objectives. Her primary focus was on selling the seasonings.

With Qin Dalong’s assistance in advertising, a crowd quickly gathered around their stall as soon as they set it up.

Qin Zhenzhen decided to be even more generous this time. She sliced the pancakes into small pieces and offered them to the onlookers to taste.

She also shared valuable information about the price of the seasonings, recommended usage quantities, and storage instructions.

“Take a look, it only costs 10 wen, and one package can be used up to 30 times.

That means you can use it three times for just 1 wen.”

“It’s incredibly easy to store. Just keep it in a dry place, away from moisture. If it’s a rainy day, simply store it in a sealed jar.”

“And even if it accidentally gets wet and you forget to store it properly, it can still be used as long as it lasts for a while.”

Hearing Qin Zhenzhen’s instructions, the guests began discussing among themselves.

“This is amazing. The pancakes here are identical to the ones elsewhere, but they taste so much better.”

“There’s simply no comparison!”

“Could her seasonings truly be that magical?”
