Chapter 70: Making Money
"Young Master He!" comprador He greeted with a smile on his face. Uncle Fu also greeted with a smile. Zhang Xing also remembered who the person was - the son of He Lizheng's family in Zhanghe Town, He Yuanqing. A few years ago, she and Ye Hexiang met this person when they were buying cloth in a silk shop, and after going back, Ye Hexiang specifically asked Wei Yunhai about the situation of the He family.
Zhanghe Town is a small town, Wei Yunhai is familiar with He Lizheng, Wei Minwen, Wei Minwu and He Yuanqing are also acquainted. Wei Minwen was about to greet him, when he suddenly saw He Yuanqing blinking, he was puzzled in his heart, Wei Minwu grabbed him.
After He Yuanqing's eyes swept over the Wei family brothers, he asked comprador He with a smile: "Since Juyuanlou has a new dish, why doesn't He comprador recommend it to us? Rabbit meat and mushrooms, this dish is appetizing when I hear it, can He comprador serve us a plate too?"
He comprador didn't know if the young master in the road really didn't know that he couldn't eat mushrooms, or if he wanted to relieve the few people in front of him. No matter which one it was, he didn't dare to fool the young master of the Li Zheng family to be the first to eat crabs. He smiled and said, "Young Master He, don't hide it, this dish is not our new dish, it was recommended by these people, and the master of this restaurant will not make this dish yet." ”
He comprador played a Tai Chi, and suddenly pushed off Young Master He's embarrassment. Seeing that the nephew of the shopkeeper Fu was squeezing his eyebrows at Young Master He, comprador He instantly understood. Dare to love Young Master He and the nephew of the shopkeeper Fu are acquainted, Young Master He wants to relieve them.
He comprador was congratulating himself in his heart for playing this Tai Chi well, when he suddenly heard a crisp voice say: "I will make this dish that Young Master He wants to eat." If you don't dislike it, I'll make it for you right now. Okay?"
It was Zhang Xing who spoke, and she had already seen the eyebrows and eyes of Young Master He and the Wei family brothers. It is expected that these three people must know each other, and this Young Master He wants to solve their difficulties. He comprador plays Tai Chi. She couldn't let the opportunity slip away.
He Yuanqing's proposal was pushed back by He comprador, seeing that Wei Minwu was still glaring at him, he was thinking about a new way in his heart, listened to the proposal, looked up, and crashed into a pair of dark and quiet eyes, his heart couldn't help but move, and then looked closely, and found that he was just an eleven or twelve-year-old girl. Wearing a light gray cloth jacket, with a light smile on his fair face, although his clothes are not obvious, there is an indescribable charm around his body.
He Yuanqing became more and more surprised in his heart, and secretly guessed Zhang Xing's origin. However, he knew that Zhang Xing was specially on the ladder, and his face was not revealed, and he nodded and said yes.
Zhang Xing smiled and said to He Comprador: "I wonder if Lu Dao can borrow the kitchen of Juyuan Building?"
He comprador nodded with a smile and said, "This is naturally possible, but." Little girl, you don't have all the ingredients, although you have mushrooms, but rabbits don't. It's really unfortunate that we just ran out of rabbits in Juyuanlou. ”
Zhang Xing's smile did not decrease, "What about bacon? I wonder if there is bacon in the Juyuan Building?" But Juyuanlou, known as the largest restaurant in Zhanghe Town, can't even have meat, right?
He comprador was stunned for a moment, hesitated and said: "This is naturally a ......."
That's good. Zhang Xing smiled and turned to He Yuanqing. said: "Young Master He, the taste of this dried mushroom roasted bacon is not inferior to rabbit meat roasted mushrooms." ”
He Yuanqing high-fived. nodded, smiled and said, "Okay, just take the mushroom and roast bacon." ”
Having said that, comprador He couldn't find a reason to push it anymore, so he had to lead Zhang Xing to the kitchen, Young Master He and the shopkeeper talked at the door of the kitchen yard, and he could see the movement of the kitchen when he stretched out his head. Fortunately, the people outside this mushroom did eat it, and I just hoped that Young Master He and his group of friends would not be used to eating this taste, and at that time, he would have something to say.
He comprador led Zhang Xing into the kitchen, and after explaining, he went out to talk to Young Master He. After a while, the shopkeeper He of Juyuan Building received the news that He comprador had handed him out, and he also came, took the eyes of He comprador and asked Young Master He and others to come forward to talk.
"Let's go, let's go, Young Master He, Shopkeeper Fu, let's go ahead and talk. He made a gesture and said to He comprador, "You are really, how can you let Young Master He and Shopkeeper Fu stand here and blow the cold wind?"
He comprador nodded and smiled to accompany him, stretched out his hand, and said, "Young Master He, shopkeeper Fu, please, please." ”
Wei Minwu was so anxious that he stretched his neck to look at the kitchen, and He Comprador turned around and shouted with a smile: "Wei Gongzi!"
Wei Min Wu responded with a sigh, turned around and walked a few steps, the aroma of the kitchen became more and more intense, the guy came out with a steaming small pot, and he smelled a sound of oil explosion from afar, Zhang Xing followed behind, holding a shelf in one hand and a paper bag in the other.
The rich aroma hooked a group of people who were about to enter the front building to stop in unison. Shopkeeper He took a deep breath of aroma and beckoned and shouted, "Stop! Stop!"
The guy stopped. The shopkeeper took a few steps over, lifted the lid of the pot and looked at it, rolled up his sleeves, took the chopsticks handed over by He Comprador, picked it up and took a bite, nodded, and said, "Take it over." "Continue to ask Young Master He to move forward.
When the group arrived at the compartment on the first floor, Young Master He wanted to entertain his friends, so he said goodbye and left with a smile. The shopkeeper accompanied Uncle Fu to talk, and after a while, Zhang Xing came back. Wei Minwu saw her smile and nodded, and his hanging heart was put down, thinking of his five copper plates, he was in an extremely good mood. After a while, the comprador He shook at the door, and the shopkeeper said goodbye to Uncle Fu and came out, and walked to no one, and the shopkeeper hurriedly asked in a low voice: "How is it?"
He comprador nodded and said, "Second uncle, you can come and take a look." ”
Shopkeeper He and comprador He came to the small room behind the counter. There was an iron shelf for putting dishes on the table in the small room, and the pot that the man had brought to the shelf was on the shelf, and the full pot had already seen the bottom, and there was only some oil residue in it, but the aroma was especially there. There was an iron plate under the shelf, and a small piece of charcoal was placed in the basin, and only a little spark was left at this time.
Shopkeeper He saw this thing for the first time, and he looked left and right for a long time. He comprador spoke on the side.
"Second uncle, as soon as this dish is served, it will be empty in a short time, and Young Master He's friends are still calling for another pot. When Shunzi went up to the pot, many guests downstairs saw it, and several regulars pulled me and asked: Is this a new dish in our restaurant, I, I really can't say......
Shopkeeper He stretched out two fingers, interrupted comprador He's words, and said, "Call Shunzi over." ”
He comprador brought in Shunzi, a guy who had just helped in the kitchen. Shopkeeper He looked at him and asked, "That little girl just went through cooking, but you can see it clearly?"
Junzi touched her head, laughed a few times, and said, "Shopkeeper, that little girl only asked me to cut meat and wash mushrooms on the side of the board, and I didn't get close to the stove at all." ”
He comprador glanced at the shopkeeper and waved his hand, "You can't do this well, you are really stupid! Okay, okay, let's go out and work." ”
The straight is gone. Shopkeeper He said to comprador He: "You go and tell Shopkeeper Fu that we have taken the little girl's mushrooms, but she has to tell us how this dish is made." ”
He comprador answered, and asked Uncle Fu and others to discuss the sale of mushrooms. Juyuanlou asked for mushrooms, Uncle Fu was very happy, he couldn't be the master of the conditions attached to He comprador, and turned his head to look at Zhang Xing.
Zhang Xing said with a smile: "Shopkeeper He wants to learn the craft of cooking, this is naturally possible, but I can't teach in vain, right? This dish is most suitable for eating in winter, warm and lively, if Shopkeeper He is willing to pay this amount of money, I will not only teach Gui Restaurant how to make this dish, but also help Gui Restaurant make the corresponding utensils." ”
He comprador was stunned for a moment, and shook his head with a smile, "Five taels of silver? ”
"Five taels of silver for a recipe, this price is already very cheap, and Juyuanlou will definitely earn far more than this amount in the future with this dish. Zhang Xing said with a smile.
He comprador only shook his head, "Little girl, you have to be like this, you mushroom, we can't afford it." ”
Zhang Xing pointed to the mushrooms in the back basket and said: "My mushroom is called enoki mushroom, it is not common, it can be used in soup and vegetables, it is absolutely non-toxic, there are very few people in Zhanghe Town now, but I believe that it will not be long before everyone will accept it." Shopkeeper He is buying it now while it's cheap, but it's not a loss at all. "It's hard to eat bark and grass roots, and when people know how to distinguish between poisonous and non-poisonous mushrooms, more and more people will eat them.
Shopkeeper He didn't say that he wanted to buy recipes, and comprador He couldn't be the master, and he was still hesitating. Shopkeeper He smiled and lifted the curtain to come in, and said, "The little girl is really eloquent, okay, we want this mushroom, we also want this recipe, five taels of silver, okay! But you can't hide your secrets when you teach!"
Zhang Xing smiled and said, "Of course." "The recipe of five taels of silver, the mushrooms are sold by catties, and a total of three hundred and sixty-eight dollars have been obtained, which is not a small amount of money, and it has been eaten for a while. I knew that the shopkeeper would agree to be so happy, and she should have raised the price again.
Wei Minwen Wei Minwu was already a little stupid when he heard about so much money. Especially Wei Minwu, remembering that when he entered the city, he said that if things are done, he will need the benefits of five copper plates, and he has a toothache. We don't compare more, just compare the money from selling mushrooms, five copper plates compared to three hundred and sixty-eight copper plates, this gap is really too big.
Uncle Fu looked at Zhang Xing frequently, and the more he looked, the more he felt that this little girl was unusual, and he didn't notice that his daughter was also watching the excitement next to him.
Shopkeeper He quickly paid the money, and Zhang Xing immediately asked for a pen and paper to draw the utensils to be prepared for the dry pot. Mushrooms and bacon are ready-made, Young Master He and his group of friends have already urged it twice, and Zhang Xing made another pot of dried mushroom bacon in front of everyone.
With money, he first has to buy rice and vegetables, and Uncle Fu is the one who runs a rice shop, so things are naturally bought from his house. Uncle Fu gave them half a stone of rice at a flat price, took them to the market to buy vegetables, cut a few catties of meat, and asked Hu Chunlai, a man from the rice shop, to set a carriage to send them back.
