Chapter Seventy-Eight: Steward Li
The basket full of duck eggs, wrapped in evenly stirred yellow mud, was gradually put into the vat, decreasing little by little, Zhao Qingzao watched the basket gradually empty, and the whole person was instantly relieved. br>
Making preserved eggs is not too tiring, with her young age now, her strength is enough, not to mention that with the help of Grandma Niu, the whole process seems to be extremely smooth.
Although because of the few bad duck eggs sold by Mrs. Zhao, her mood was heavier and more cautious, but looking at the duck eggs in the tank, she still felt unprecedented satisfaction.
It won't be long before these duck eggs will be completely transformed into snowflake silver, just this batch is already higher than her income as a cook in the county government, not to mention, preserved eggs are still a food with a lot of sales, although one does not earn much, but she can't bear the large amount, she can imagine that as the reputation spreads, it won't be long before sales will continue to increase.
Thinking about it, Zhao Qingzao was completely happy.
When Zhao Qingzao came back the next day after buying two large vats, looking at the few duck eggs left, she suddenly felt completely comfortable.
Seeing this, Grandma Niu said in surprise: "Green dates, you bought so many vats, you plan to continue to do it." ”
"Yes, grandma, anyway, while the current sales are still good, do more, maybe someone will want it in the future, anyway, it's okay to make more of this preserved egg, and it won't be bad if you put it away." Zhao Qingzao smiled, looking confident.
Preserved eggs, she really plans to do it for a long time, after all, the medicinal materials have been planted, and then they are waiting to grow, and there is no need for her to spend too much energy on it, most of the time is free, it is better to use it to operate preserved eggs, she believes that if you stick to it, this income is definitely not low.
In addition, Shen Changting's prosperity in the county government, the combined income of the two is enough for her to live a better life, she is even thinking, if it goes down like this, in a few months, it is not a problem to buy a house in the town, and you can also consider buying a carriage, so that it is completely tall and tall with a car and a house, and she can completely get rid of poverty and become rich.
Thinking about it, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but grin again, she was not a rich and noble person in her previous life, and life was like that, now this society is much more cruel than in her previous life, but the cost of living is also very low, she believes that if she goes on, she will definitely live well.
Grandma Niu didn't have any opinion on this, anyway, she didn't understand, seeing that Zhao Qingzao said that there was no problem, she could only nod and said: "Oh, since that's the case, let's be more busy, and strive to finish the rest today, but don't break it, when the time comes, you will eat a bad stomach, and you will inevitably have to eat a lawsuit if you come to the door." ”
"Don't worry, Grandma, I know. Zhao Qingzao smiled.
Although the people in these years are not particularly barbaric, if they really do something wrong, and the consequences are serious, they will not report to the official, but directly beat them, Zhao Qingzao will naturally not be stupid enough to really make the preserved eggs of the dead, and then this Zhaojia Village will really not be able to stay.
In the rest of the time, Zhao Qingzao and Grandma Niu were busy making preserved eggs again, but Zhao Qingzao was busy for an hour, and just after marinating the preserved eggs, a strange guest was ushered in at home.
The person who came was a young man a few years older than Shen Changting, with a beard on his face, well-dressed, and a decent person.
When this person came to Zhao Qingzao's courtyard, he said loudly: "Excuse me, is this Mr. Shen's home in Shen Changting?"
Zhao Qingzao was originally packing up his things in the house, and when he heard that he went out and saw the person coming, he seemed to have some impressions, and couldn't help but wonder: "Are you?"
"Ah, Little Lady Zhao is at home, I am the manager of the restaurant where you sold preserved eggs last time, and I came to look for you this time to discuss something. When Steward Li saw Zhao Qingzao, his eyes lit up, and he was busy greeting him, looking extremely courteous.
Zhao Qingzao thought about it, and suddenly had an impression, and couldn't help laughing: "Ha, Steward Li, how did you find here, it's not easy for me to find this place, come in and sit down and have a cup of tea." ”
Zhao Qingzao smiled when she heard this, the restaurant was there, but it was the best place for her to sell preserved eggs that day, and now that the other party was in charge of the door, Zhao Qingzao suddenly smelled a smell of copper, where would he refuse.
But the other party is a man after all, Zhao Qingzao originally wanted to avoid it, so as not to be chewed again, but fortunately, Grandma Niu is still busy here, and she also avoids this move, and she is naturally happy and generous.
Seeing this, Steward Li smiled, not only did not refuse, but said with a smile: "Well, I happen to have something to discuss with you." ”
Zhao Qingzao smiled knowingly, invited people to the house, and brought a cup of tea to the other party, at this time Grandma Niu smelled the movement and rushed over, Zhao Qingzao saw this, introduced it, and asked: "Steward Li, what are you looking for?"
Steward Li smiled awkwardly and said, "That's the case, I came here to ask you, do you still have preserved eggs to sell here?" ”
"The original one is sold out?" Zhao Qingzao was a little surprised.
She had been to the town, and more than once, the broken town was not low in her impression, and there were so few rich people in this poor place, she originally thought that it would not sell too well.
"It's sold out, how can it not be sold out. Steward Li said, looking at Zhao Qingzao's incomprehensible look, and said with a wry smile: "Don't you know, your preserved egg sales are really good, not enough to sell every day, the shopkeeper doesn't sell enough at all, and there is no way, I have to stipulate that three copies will be sold every day, and there is no excess, otherwise it will be sold short in one day." ”
"The business is so good, now your restaurant is making a lot of money." When Zhao Qingzao heard this, she was overjoyed, which was completely beyond her expectations.
"Hehe, the matter of the restaurant, the shopkeeper is responsible, and we don't have our share in how much money we make, I came this time to ask for our shopkeeper, can you sell more preserved eggs here." "Steward Li is shrewd, and he wiped out the profits in one sentence.
Zhao Qingzao didn't care, she didn't have any thoughts about it, and she was not worthy of being in charge, so she immediately shook her head with a smile and said: "I'm afraid there is no more for the time being, I was worried that it would not be easy to sell last time, and I got dozens of them at a time, and I only made it this time, and it is not ripe, so I have to wait for a while." ”
This is also a helpless thing, she was originally just experimental, and now she only thinks of batch production, but unfortunately the preserved eggs are cooked slowly, and it is impossible to eat them without ten or twenty days.
When Steward Li heard this, he couldn't hide the disappointment on his face, and asked unwillingly: "Then how much do you have in your family now, give it to us, rest assured, the price will definitely be fair." ”
"It's really no, I bought a total of 50 duck eggs last time, and I made half of the salted duck eggs, plus I ate a few more by myself, where is it. ”
Zhao Qingzao was also a little helpless, but immediately added: "But you go back and reply to your shopkeeper, and when this batch is done, I guarantee that the first one will be handed over to your restaurant." ”
"How long will it take?" Steward Li's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Twenty days at most, I don't think it will be enough. Zhao Qingzao thought about it and said the safest time.
"That's fine. Steward Li was a little regretful when he heard this, and still said with some reluctance: "You really don't have any ready-made ones?"
"I really don't, otherwise I can't make money if I have money, I'm not stupid. Zhao Qingzao was also a little crying and laughing for a while.
When Steward Li heard this, he sighed, and immediately took out a few taels of silver and handed it to Zhao Qingzao, saying, "Next time, you will probably take out as much as you can at one time, and I will give you a deposit first." ”
How generous!
Zhao Qingzao was a little speechless, it seemed that the owner of the restaurant really fell in love with the preserved eggs this time, thought about it, and said: "At least a hundred, there may be more, but I can't be busy alone, it may be late, but there must be a hundred." ”
"A hundred, okay!"
Steward Li calculated, threw out three taels of silver and handed it to Zhao Qingzao and said: "This is four taels of silver, three taels are your deposit of one hundred, and one or two is to make up for your last money, if the preserved eggs are good, the price will definitely rise, rest assured, holding it will not let you suffer, but you don't have to lose a few children, then I will be scolded to death by the shopkeeper." ”
Zhao Qingzao immediately said categorically: "Okay, don't worry, you will definitely not be missing." She still has more than two hundred, and she is not worried about not enough to sell, but she did not accept the one or two pieces of silver that she made up, handed it to Steward Li, and said: "The last transaction has been passed, what money do you have to make up, take it back, one yard to one yard, how can there be an account after the autumn." ”
"No, this is a little sincerity in our restaurant. ”
Steward Li saw that what Zhao Qingzao said was reasonable, and he admired it in his heart, but he still insisted on stuffing the silver to Zhao Qingzao, and said with a smile: "You don't know, your preserved eggs are not enough to sell in our restaurant, the shopkeeper saw it, he was anxious, and blamed me for the low price given in advance. ”
"Okay, then I'll be stingy. "Zhao Qingzao is also very sharp, at this moment, she completely shows her sophistication that does not match her age, even Grandma Niu on the side saw it, and she had nothing to say at all, only a cold bystander.
Seeing this, Steward Li also put down his heart, at least he didn't run in vain, immediately took a sip of tea, and then asked: "By the way, Mrs. Zhao, there is still something in the shopkeeper, I want to discuss with you." ”
"What's the matter?" Zhao Qingzao was a little speechless, and he could just say something at once.
When people talk about serious things these days, they start to pretend to be Sven, and those who live a little better pretend to be scholars and cultural people, which makes her really uncomfortable.
Seeing that Zhao Qingzao didn't make any gestures, Steward Li also relaxed, thought about it, and said: "That's the case, what our shopkeeper means is, can all the preserved eggs you make be sold to our restaurant separately and not sold to other places." ”
Zhao Qingzao was stunned when she heard this, and she had an urge to drill into the ground for a while, she didn't expect that the businessman of this year would be so shrewd and know that he had a monopoly.
However, she thought about it for a while and said, "It's no problem, after all, selling it to anyone is selling, and selling it to you alone will not allow me to continue to toss, but I'm afraid I have to add a little bit to this price." ”
"It's natural, rest assured, definitely add to you. "Steward Li was obviously prepared, and what he said was not procrastinating.
Zhao Qingzao really admired the shopkeeper of the restaurant for a while, this businessman did have some means to do this, and immediately smiled: "Don't worry, I still have a condition, that is, if it is a recipe for preserved eggs in the future, there are still people who have studied it, and there are more people who sell it, so you must also give priority to buying my family." ”
In any case, it is Zhao Qingzao's habit to prevent problems before they happen, after all, there are more smart people these years, and they may be copied out.
