Chapter Seventy-Four: The Banquet
Li Yuqing walked to the front court with the soup, the shopkeeper Yao was eating the dishes and said something to Chef Cao, when he saw Li Yuqing coming over, he hurriedly put down the chopsticks, stepped forward to take the soup held by Li Yuqing and put it on the table, pulled a stool and asked Li Yuqing to sit down.
After Li Yuqing sat down, he picked up the chopsticks again and said, "Yuqing, tell Uncle Yao what these two dishes are called, they are delicious, they are delicious." As he spoke, he sent several chopsticks to his mouth.
Li Yuqing was very satisfied with the reaction of the shopkeeper Yao, so the price was negotiable.
"Uncle Yao, look at the price you give for these two menus, and then I'm telling you what else to do with the cucumber. ”
Shopkeeper Yao listened to Li Yuqing's words, and secretly scolded the little fox in his heart, she is so cunning, if she doesn't give a good price, she is still ready to lose her appetite, and the little girl in front of her should not be underestimated.
Shopkeeper Yao frowned and pondered, the chopsticks in his hand were not idle, and he was still picking up vegetables.
Li Yuqing saw the actions of the shopkeeper Yao, and subconsciously glanced at An Xiaoneng who was standing aside, An Xiaoneng reacted and looked up to see Li Yuqing looking at him with a smile, and suddenly a cold sweat broke out, showing a pitiful expression to Li Yuqing, for fear that Li Yuqing would be unhappy and pondering, and the shopkeeper Yao, who did not forget to put the chopsticks, said that the dishes were all leftovers by himself.
Seeing An Xiaoneng's pitiful appearance, Li Yuqing put down and continued to tease him, returned to normalcy and waited for Shopkeeper Yao's reply.
After a while, Shopkeeper Yao let out a long sigh, "Yuqing won't tell you, last time you brought spicy people over to make that spicy chicken, the menu money of 50 taels was given to you by I didn't believe you and bet with you." "Ease your tone, "The serious menu is not that expensive, I don't know if you know." ”
Li Yuqing listened to the words of the shopkeeper, but didn't understand what it meant, and asked, "I don't know what Uncle Yao wants to say, let's talk about it once I finish it." ”
"Okay, I'll make it clear, I'm just the shopkeeper of this restaurant, I believe you also know, the owner has the money to buy the menu, usually between 20 and 30 taels. I actually gave you the money for the menu last time, and I actually had money in it. ”
Li Yuqing heard him say this, and subconsciously said, "If you give me more, I won't return it to you, I'm very poor now." ”
The shopkeeper gave her a blank look, "Am I such a stingy person?"
Li Yuqing smiled awkwardly, there was no way she was really poor now.
Shopkeeper Yao continued: "This time, I can only give 40 taels a menu, if you don't believe it, you can go to other restaurants and ask, there is no higher than what I give." ”
Seeing that the shopkeeper Yao said that this was a point, Li Yuqing felt that he had been with him for so long, and now even if he said more, it would be useless.
Nodding his head in agreement, Shopkeeper Yao looked at Li Yuqing nervously, and was relieved to see her nodding.
"But..." Before Li Yuqing finished speaking, Shopkeeper Yao immediately became nervous again
"But what, say it quickly"
Li Yuqing smiled awkwardly, "But I'll tell you for other ways to do cucumbers, you're adding some money to me, so you won't lose money." ”
Shopkeeper Yao almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood, and he knew that Li Yuqing would not compromise so lightly. "Say how much to add"
"It's enough for a hundred taels, it's not much worse anyway," Li Yuqing said with a hippie smile.
Shopkeeper Yao looked at Li Yuqing, who was smiling brightly, and really wanted to stand up and tear her face apart, this bad girl really dared to say it.
Seeing that the shopkeeper Yao did not respond, Li Yuqing made persistent efforts, "I don't want the cucumber money today, I will tell you again where can I buy cucumbers, the price has also been discussed, what does Uncle Yao think?"
Shopkeeper Yao didn't expect Li Yuqing to be so generous today, so many cucumbers and silver coins were used a lot, and it seemed that he was bleeding, and after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and agreed, Li Yuqing was very happy to see that he finally agreed.
After Li Yuqing told him the price, Shopkeeper Yao had the urge to step forward and kick her feet, and he was used to the rare prices that Li Yuqing sent every time they were much higher than other things, and at first glance it was still difficult to accept the price of cucumbers but meat.
reacted and was very excited, Li Yuqing glanced at the shopkeeper Yao.
Shopkeeper Yao pursed his lips and didn't speak, Li Yuqing was completely furious, "Uncle Yao, what do you mean, it's better for me to collect your money or not to have your money." "Paused" Look at your expression, the reason why I don't want money for cucumbers is because even if I don't say it, you will know quickly, so there is no need to be unhappy with you for this little money. ”
In fact, Li Yuqing didn't tell the truth, the truth is that autumn is coming, potatoes, soybeans, and soaphorns can be harvested one after another, and she has no time to do anything else.
Shopkeeper Yao didn't know what Li Yuqing was thinking, but after thinking about it, she felt that what she said was quite reasonable, so she didn't bother with how Li Yuqing changed sex.
After talking, Li Yuqing handed over the cucumber method to Chef Cao, and it was not Li Yuqing's concern who he arranged to study in the future. After taking the money given by the shopkeeper Yao, Li Yuqing took Li Congwen to the market non-stop to buy the dishes needed for the noon treat.
Of course, I brought a lot of cucumbers back when I left, after all, I don't know when I will be free to come over when I will be busy in the future. Because of the late discovery, the cucumbers are almost grown now. So when I come over next time I have time, I guess I won't be able to eat it.
When leaving, he repeatedly emphasized with the shopkeeper Yao that when he went to buy cucumbers, let the old lady keep more cucumbers that have grown yellow and old, and when they are completely old, the seeds will grow, and there will be a lot of cucumber seeds to plant next year.
Shopkeeper Yao listened to Li Yuqing's words and agreed, nonsense, if the cucumber market comes next year, then he will definitely make a lot of money.
When I got home, it was almost noon, Li Yuqing got off the ox cart and didn't take down the things, so I asked Li Yuxin for help, and ran to Li Daniu's house to find Aunt Osmanthus for help, otherwise I wouldn't be able to catch up at all.
When Li Yuqing arrived at Sun Guihua's house, Sun Guihua was about to cook, and when she heard what Li Yuqing said, she hurriedly nodded and agreed that the brush that was brushing the pot was also thrown aside, and she went back to Li Yuqing's house with Li Yuqing.
Back at home, Li Yuxin and Li Congwen had already moved the things from the ox cart. The two of them also helped to pick and wash vegetables very intimately. Seeing the two people who were busy, Li Yuqing's heart was full of emotion.
Today, because it is a housewarming banquet, although there are not many people, Li Yuqing still prepared a lot of dishes. Passing by a stall selling pork, Li Yuqing bought five catties of pork and two pig ears, and the boss sent two pigs into the water, so that there were three dishes.
When cooking in Fumanlou, the peanuts used to make Kung Pao chicken were not used up, Li Yuqing and the shopkeeper Yao said, and the shopkeeper Yao generously asked the guys not only to pack up the leftover peanuts, but also asked them to take a chicken for Li Yuqing, and sliced the chicken breast for Li Yuqing to take away.
Originally, Li Yuqing didn't want it anymore, but there was no way for Shopkeeper Yao to consciously take advantage of Li Yuqing today, and let her bring it with her. Looking at the old high of the rising sun, the time was already very tight, and there was no way for Li Yuqing to avoid talking more, so he could only take his farewell.
