Chapter Thirty-Eight: Selling Raw Snails
When he arrived at the side door of Zhu's house, Zhu Er invited Yang Yun and Li Feng in, and generally large families would only open the door except to welcome important guests, otherwise they would all enter through the side door. After entering the Zhu family, the structure and decoration of the Zhu family's house www.biquge.info somewhat different from Yang Yun's imagination on the road.
There are a lot of orchids planted in the courtyard, although it is also a green brick paving, glazed roof, but from the overall ornamentation, everywhere is elegant, more calligraphy, painting and poetry, less money utensils. It seems that Master Zhu is an elegant person.
"Miss Yang, you are literate." Zhu Er saw Yang Yun coming all the way and stared at those calligraphy and paintings, thinking that Yang Yun was literate and knew how to read those poems and paintings.
"Second Brother Zhu, it's really rude, the little woman is illiterate, the little woman only heard that Master Zhu loves food, and when I went to Zhu's house today, I learned that Master Zhu not only loves food, but also is an elegant person."
"Hehe, Miss Yang, I don't know, the decorations of these poems and paintings at home are all hung up by the eldest young master, and the eldest young master is the elegant person, and the master has to eat."
"But the little woman is thinking about it."
"Hehe, Miss Yang only came to the Zhu family today, I don't know if it's the past, the eldest young master in the family is a literary person, he has passed the Xiucai exam, and he is studying hard to take the exam."
"Your eldest young master is really a capable person, the little girl heard that it is difficult to get the show, but the eldest young master of your family can easily get it. This is the envy of many. ”
"I don't think Miss Yang said that, the eldest young master is indeed a hardworking person." Chatting with Zhu Er while walking, they soon arrived at the side hall of Zhu's house, Zhu Er asked Yang Yun and them to sit in the living room first and wait for a while, and he went to invite Master Zhu. Soon Master Zhu came to the living room.
"It turned out to be a little girl selling fried snails." Master Zhu's hearty voice came from nearby, and the sound also arrived.
"Master Zhu." Yang Yun and Uncle Li both stood up to say hello.
"The little girl's matter, Zhu Er just explained, is the little girl sure she wants to sell raw snails?" As soon as Master Zhu entered the living room, he went straight to the topic, but he was not polite.
"Yes, Master Zhu, the little woman is also afraid of conflicts with the villagers, so this business is still painfully broken, I don't know if Master Zhu is willing to buy these raw snails."
"I'm willing to buy it, but I don't have the secret recipe for this fried snail, if this snail is not delicious, won't it be sold." It's really no treacherous business, anyway, Yang Yun didn't want to cover the secret recipe, if Master Zhu is willing to buy the raw snails of the whole village of Zhoujia Village, he will give the secret recipe.
"As long as Master Zhu is willing to buy the raw snails in the whole village of Zhoujia Village, the little woman is willing to send the secret recipe for fried snails."
"The little girl is really refreshing, and Zhu, the raw snail in Zhoujia Village, is willing to buy it. The little girl wanted to sell raw snails. ”
"Master Zhu, this snail must be cleaned and precipitated for two days before it is fried, and the tail of the snail must be cut into a small mouth, and it can only be sucked after cooking. So there are two kinds of raw snails, one is the tail has been cut, the other is not cut, and you can see how much you are willing to buy the two kinds of snails. ”
"I see, the snail that has not cut the tail will cost eight yuan, and the one that has cut the tail will cost ten yuan, and the little girl will see if the price is reasonable." Unexpectedly, the price given by Master Zhu was higher than Yang Yun expected, of course, if these snails were sold by Master Zhu in his own restaurant, it would be impossible for them to sell for twenty or thirty wen per catty.
"Okay, then set this price, and then ask Master Zhu to call someone to Zhoujia Village to buy these snails."
"Just Zhu Er, he is also familiar with you, let him go to Zhoujia Village to buy it then."
"Then it's troublesome Second Brother Zhu."
"Miss Yang is polite." After Zhu Er finished speaking, he stopped talking.
"Master Zhu, the little woman has another request, tomorrow the little girl's house will sell fried snails for one more day, because this is what was agreed with the townspeople, only that it will not be sold until tomorrow, please forgive me."
"Well, people do have to be honest, since the little girl promised others, then sell it for one more day, let Zhu Er go to Zhoujia Village to buy snails tomorrow, and Zhu's restaurant will not be sold until the day after tomorrow, and the time is connected."
"Master Zhu, please find someone who can write, the little woman will hand over the secret recipe for fried snails, and whether Master Zhu can write a letter card, indicating that he is willing to buy the snails in Zhoujia Village, it's not that the little woman doesn't believe you, this letter card is to be handed over to Lizheng in Zhoujia Village, and the little woman is afraid that the villagers won't believe it."
"The little girl's request is also reasonable, and we do need a certificate to do business, which makes people prepare." After Master Zhu finished speaking, he said a word to Zhu Er, and Zhu Er went out of the living room, probably looking for the four treasures of the study. Zhu Er walked for a while, and soon came back, holding a set of four treasures in his hand, followed by a person, who also held a small cloth bag in his hand, looking at his age and dress, he should be a housekeeper.
"Sir." The middle-aged man who came in from behind saluted Master Zhu as soon as he entered the door.
"Steward Zhu, I brought something." Yang Yun guessed correctly, that middle-aged man was really the butler of the Zhu family.
"Brought." The housekeeper Zhu put the small cloth bag he brought on the table next to Master Zhu, and stood next to Master Zhu and waited.
"Steward Zhu, the little girl said the secret recipe for stir-frying snails, you write down the secret recipe."
"Yes, sir." Steward Zhu picked up the pen and ink and wrote, according to the steps Yang Yun said, carefully recorded, the secret recipe was quickly written, Steward Zhu read it again and verified with Yang Yun again, confirmed that it was correct, and handed over the recipe to Master Zhu.
"Little girl, isn't this pepper a medicine, how can it be used for side dishes."
"Master Zhu, doesn't the medicine prove that it is also edible, the pepper itself is also a spice, which can be used to cover the earthy smell of the snail, you can eat it with confidence, the little woman asked the doctor before using the pepper."
"The little girl is careful, and she knows to ask the doctor first, Zhu has also eaten fried snails for a few days, and there is nothing wrong with it, but you can use it with confidence." After Master Zhu finished speaking, he motioned to Zhu Er with his eyes to hand over the small cloth bag on the table to Yang Yun. After Yang Yun got the small cloth bag, although she didn't open it, she could feel it, as if it was silver.
"Master Zhu, what is this?" This Master Zhu is not going to buy this secret recipe with silver.
"Hehe, the little girl accepts it with confidence, there are twenty taels of silver inside, you can't ask for the little girl's secret recipe in vain, Zhu has always paid attention to fairness and notarization in business, and he will not slander the little girl's secret recipe." It seems that there are still many good people in this world, although businessmen are profit-seeking, there are also moral businessmen, and this Master Zhu is such a person.
Yang Yun walked out of the Zhu family happily with an unexpected harvest and a contract written by Master Zhu to acquire snails. I didn't discuss this matter with Uncle Li from beginning to end, in fact, don't blame Yang Yun for disrespecting him, the problem is that he doesn't understand when you ask him.
And this business of fried snails was originally thought up by Yang Yun, and Uncle Li didn't dare to ask, Yang Yun's grandfather let the Li family share fifty percent of the profits, and their husband and wife have been very uneasy, and they feel ashamed, so Uncle Li will not interfere with Yang Yun's decision. He thought about it for a while and felt that Yang Yun's approach was good, not only to avoid the rejection of the two families in the village, but also to help the villagers make a profit, and the villagers would only be grateful to the Yang family and the Li family for finding a good business for them.
