Chapter Ninety-One: Killing Chickens and Eggs?
"Hurry up, please ...... inside" Shen Chenghou and his wife also reacted at this time, although they still didn't know what was going on, but how could they let the distinguished guests who came to the door stand at the door and talk, and hurriedly let them go into the house.
"Uncle Xu, please come in, second uncle, don't stand outside, have you eaten breakfast?" Qixi also hurried over and pulled the second uncle into the house.
"Your Uncle Xu ate it, I was about to eat them and they came, I saw that they were in a hurry, so I simply brought them first. Li Taihe was dragged into the house by his little niece, "Have you eaten at home?"
"Yes, the dumplings I cooked in the morning are still older, even if I don't have them, I will give them to my second uncle. Tanabata immediately replied with a smile.
The group was let into the house, and there was only one clean and neat left in the Qixi house, and there was no furnishings left, and the only two stools on the ground were brought back from Li Taihe's house, and Shen Chenghou simply let the person sit on the edge of the kang.
Yun Rong and Yunduo hurriedly went to make tea, using the coarse porcelain bowl at home, but it was scalded clean with boiling water, and the tea leaves in it were not bad, and they were sent by the Zhao brothers and sisters on the day of the move.
Qixi wanted to get dumplings for his second uncle, but was stopped by Li Taihe, saying that he was not in a hurry, and he would wait for a while to finish talking before eating.
sat down and greeted Qixi for a couple of sentences, only then did I know that the middle-aged man who looked honest and honest turned out to be "cyclamen" Qiu shopkeeper, the owner and the shopkeeper came to the door early in the morning, although they had not yet mentioned the topic, Qixi had already known their intentions.
"I don't know what Boss Xu and Shopkeeper Qiu are ......" Shen Chenghou spoke first, remembering that a little girl said yesterday that she would go to "Cyclamen" to deliver dumpling filling. At this time, I am thinking about it, I am afraid that I am really here for the dumplings at home, right?
"I'm a few years older than Brother Shen, don't see Brother Shen. I'll call you brother. Xu Xiao smiled foolishly, "Don't hide it from Brother Shen." We came here early in the morning to disturb you, just for the dumplings and vegetables in your greenhouse. ”
The shopkeeper Qiu on the side also smiled and spoke, the family only then knew that the two of them tasted the two things sent by the Tanabata Festival last night, and went to the big set to find someone this morning, and they didn't see anyone to know that they were only coming on the day of the set, and they turned their heads and went to Cheng Ji Shop, and they were going to catch up with Li Taihe to eat.
Eating late is nothing. As soon as he heard that it was for his sister's dumplings and dishes, Li Taihe put down the dishes and chopsticks he had just picked up and followed the carriage to guide the way, this is related to the days of the little sister's family, of course he has to be anxious about this good thing, just let him eat two less meals.
"I know that this good thing will inevitably be remembered by someone, no, I will come to the door before others come...... Ha Lu Ha ...... "Xu Xiaoyu smiled when he heard what the shopkeeper Qiu said.
"What can I say, it's hard for you to look at these things at home......" Shen Chenghou is a simple person, no more honest than the shopkeeper Qiu. This is the real honesty from the inside out, as soon as he heard people say this, he was busy, and in his heart he felt that a big restaurant like "cyclamen" took a fancy to his family's things, which was his family's honor.
"You can't say that. It's not that it's hard for us to see, but that Xie Lu and Xie Xi have something good to think about and find me first. Xu Xiaoyu shook his head as he spoke, and turned his head to look at Qixi Dao.
He's not lying. After getting along with Qixi twice, he can see that this family is honest and honest. But this little girl is a shrewd girl, how could such a well-informed little girl go to him first? Except that "Cyclamen" is one of the best restaurants in town. That's the last time she sold a recipe, she felt that it was worth believing.
Since this is the case, he doesn't plan to go around in circles, everything is put on the surface, and everyone will save trouble.
"Uncle Xu, don't be polite, everything is two good and one good. Qixi hurriedly shook his head with a smile, and then led the topic to business, Xu Xiaoyu was nothing at this time, but her father and mother couldn't sit still, "So Uncle Xu's restaurant is planning to ask for my dumplings and vegetables?"
"Well, this dumpling is fresh, the sweet and sour fish last time is now the signature dish in the restaurant, just in time to push the dumplings out together, it is not said that it can also be popular, but you can try it." Speaking of this, Xu Xiaoyu first mentioned the dumplings, "By the way, on the way here, I heard your second uncle say that your dumplings also have special soup, saying that it tastes better like that?"
"Yes, the big bone broth boiled at home, there are some seasonings added to it, and the taste is different from the noodle soup we often drink. Qixi nodded and said, as for what was added to it, naturally I can't say, "If Uncle Xu also wants to sell dumplings with soup, my family can also be responsible for boiling this soup, see if you boil the thick soup at home and send it to you to redeem it again, or we can go to the restaurant to help make the soup." ”
Seeing Xu Xiaoyu happy Qixi and replying to it is also neat, unconsciously, the person who talks to Xu Xiaoyu becomes Qixi Festival, there is really no one in the family who knows these things better than her, if you ask your father, you can't make up your mind for a while.
"This is easy to say, Xi girl, I see that this day is getting colder and colder, I don't even have a wind shield in the big set today, and your stall will continue to be set up in winter?"
Shen Chenghou and his wife haven't understood what it means, Qixi has already reacted, no wonder it is said that there is no treachery and no business, even if Xu Xiaoyu is a good business, then the abacus will inevitably be there, this is to buy her family's dumpling recipe at one time?
Anyone who is afraid will have this idea, once you buy it once and for all, even if it costs a sum of money, it is a matter of time before you want to return to your capital, and the most important thing is that the recipe will be theirs in the future, and it is their "cyclamen" signature like sweet and sour fish.
However, Xu Xiaoyu is also kind, he didn't come in and asked this first, but did not shy away from saying that he was really interested in this dumpling.
It's a pity that Qixi is not that shallow-eyed, and this kind of thing must not be done according to her temperament of loving and thinking about everything, and it is destined to make Xu Xiaoyu's calculation fail.
"Uncle Xu is right, seeing that it is going to snow, it will definitely be hard to set up a stall in winter, but no matter how hard it is compared to having a livelihood at home, it is nothing, my father and mother and our family are happy that this small stall can maintain the livelihood of the family, and we plan to continue to put it in the future, plus now Uncle Xu is estimated to have a lot of dumplings here, how to say that it is a good livelihood. Qixi shook his head and made it very clear, he might as well let Xu Xiaoyu understand directly that their family would definitely not sell their children.
Not to mention anything else, how much can he give in a lump sum of silver? Fifty taels or one hundred taels? Daji earns a lot a day, plus the dumplings supplied to the "cyclamen" every day, even if you spend 100 taels to buy them, it will not take two years to earn them back, not to mention that you have to fish with all your might?
"Ha Luha, it's this reason, we have lived a hard life, and we are really afraid of anything, so we are not afraid of hardship. Xu Xiaoyu is a smart person, his words are so clear, he naturally knows what the Taoist family means, in fact, he will not try to save trouble and only care about the little silver in front of him, not to mention that this family does not look like they are afraid of hardship.
"In this case, can you wrap the dumplings and send them directly, you can put it when it's cold, I usually follow the dumplings when the kitchen is idle, and there is really no special person in charge of this, and the soup, just send the thick soup as you said. Since this road didn't work, Xu Xiaoyu simply gave up and discussed it carefully.
"Okay, this way, I have a large family population, and I can make dumplings or something. Shen Chenghou and his wife listened carefully to Boss Xu's words, and as soon as they heard this request, they were busy and agreed.
Qixi thought about it for a while, and didn't interject, just sending the stuffing and directly sending the dumplings wrapped in a good gel are not much different for their family, anyway, there are many people in the family, and they don't have to work in the field in winter, and the big set is only once every five days, and they are completely busy.
Besides, it is easy to send dumplings directly, and even the price is easy to negotiate.
"Okay, since that's the case, then you should first pack this dumpling with a hundred catties every day, and if it sells well in the future, let's add it, so okay?"
"One hundred catties ......" The couple didn't expect Xu Xiaoyu to be one hundred catties as soon as he opened his mouth, they were really surprised, and they forgot to answer for a while, knowing that their family was tired and tired on the big set and sold more than 300 bowls a day, and it was only more than 100 catties.
"Okay, don't say 100 catties, we are looking forward to Uncle Xu's restaurant business becoming more and more prosperous, and in the future, it will cost 200 catties and 300 catties a day, and we can also come here with Uncle Xu first." Qixi was surprised to see my father and mother, and quickly responded to it.
The dumplings in the north are slightly bigger, and the dumplings are fine, but if you change the steamed dumplings, they are all about the same size as buns.
Their stall is a pound of noodles and a pound of stuffed dumplings with 60 dumplings, "cyclamen" such a big restaurant, a hundred pounds of dumplings is really not much, after all, it is not as good as the stall, and the dumplings that go in to eat will not be a few taels or taels, so many people go to eat every day A hundred catties really don't worry about not being able to sell them.
"Ha Luha, okay, to borrow your good words, my business is booming, and your dumplings are selling a lot, in your words, it is a win-win situation. Xu Xiaoyu laughed when she heard it, and knew that this little girl dared to make a decision, and she was happier than her father, "The dumplings are set like this first, and the price will be explained in detail later, this town is not far away, I think it is better for me to let people pick it up every day, so as not to send it to your family, it is very hard in winter." ”
After talking about the dumplings, both sides knew the price, Xu Xiaoyu and the shopkeeper Qiu glanced at each other, compared with dumplings, they were more interested in the dishes in the greenhouse of Qixi House, especially asparagus. (To be continued......)
