Chapter 10: Confession
Xia Mei held Tang Bao in her arms, walked to Xinghua and sat down, seeing the three of them looking at her eagerly, she couldn't help but cry and laugh.
"Auntie, sit down too." Xia Mei smiled helplessly.
Seeing Chen sit down, Xia Mei said to her, "Auntie, do you remember the new food I gave you that day?" ”
"Naturally, I remember."
Xia Mei pursed her lips and smiled, "Auntie, Brother Chen, I won't tell you, I've been a chef in the town and in that Tianfu Restaurant these days!" ”
Seeing their incredulous gazes, Xia Mei continued: "And their new dish that has been very popular recently is the mushrooms you ate that day, but there are more dishes in the restaurant." ”
That Chen Daniu seemed to be greatly impacted, "Xia family, what are you talking about?" That rare thing that you can't eat in line every day, did you make it? He turned his head to his daughter-in-law and said, "And you've eaten it again?!" ”
Chen's eyes were also a little glazed, "I'...... I've eaten ...... There are still apricot blossoms picked up from yesterday at home...... But...... But can this thing still be sold for money? ”
Chen looked at Xia Mei with some expectation, "Xia's family? Are you telling the truth? ”
"It's true, I'm lying to you," Xia Mei said with a smile.
Chen suddenly swelled up with surprise, "That...... Let's ...... then."
"We're not going to do anything!" Chen Da Niu suddenly interrupted Chen's words in a sudden voice on the side, "Xia family, this rare thing was discovered by you, and it is also your way to make money, if you can sue us, we are already grateful." ”
Xia Mei looked at Chen Daniu with a straight face in surprise, and seeing his firm gaze, Xia Mei was even more sure that she was not looking at the wrong person.
Xia Mei also said with a straight face: "Brother Da Niu, I sue you, in fact, I want you to do this business together." ”
Chen Daniu was surprised: "Xia family, what did you say?" Want us together? ”
"Yes", Xia Mei paused, and said slowly: "I only told them about mushrooms now, and I plan to take out the fungus in the future, and now I am working in the restaurant, and I don't have time to go up the mountain, so I want my aunt and apricot blossom to go to the mountain to pick mushrooms, and send them to the restaurant, and the price is agreed, 20 wen per catty." ”
Chen Daniu and his wife didn't expect that Xia Mei would hand over such a good thing to them, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
Chen Daniu rubbed his hands excitedly, "Xia family, are you serious?" Do you really want to leave such a lucrative thing to us? ”
Xia Mei said sincerely: "Brother Chen, Xia Mei has taken care of me all these years, Xia Mei has taken care of me, and now that Xia Mei has won great luck, she naturally dare not forget the kindness of the two." ”
Xia Mei paused slightly, and then said: "It's just that this business can be held for a short time, and others are not stupid, and someone will definitely recognize it after a long time." Therefore, after three months, the restaurant will receive the goods from everyone and teach everyone to pick. After all, some mushrooms are poisonous, and if someone accidentally eats poisonous mushrooms and loses their lives, I am afraid that the business of the restaurant will be affected."
Chen Daniu said: "Don't worry, the Xia family, we know how powerful it is." We are not greedy men, and we are already overjoyed that in these three months we will earn more than a hundred taels of silver."
Seeing that they understood herself, Xia Mei was also relieved, and comforted them again: "Brother Chen and aunt don't worry, I haven't said anything about the fungus yet!" The fungus is seasonal, and after this period of time, others can't guess it even if they want to pick it! So take advantage of the fact that there are many in the forest now, so I quickly pull it back, the fungus can be dried, and then soaked in hot water when it is used, and the taste is the same. ”
"When the fungus season passes, we will get the restaurant again, and the price will have to increase several times! And, at least until this time next year, no one will compete with us for business! ”
Chen's eyes widened and he asked, "Sister, you said that this fungus can still be dried?" Wouldn't that be stored for a long time? ”
Xinghua interjected at this time: "That aunt, can I also follow my mother and make money together!" ”
Xia Mei first said to Chen: "That's right! So don't worry about the amount of money, as long as there is, quickly move home, the amount for several months in the future, but a lot! ”
He turned his head to Xinghua and smiled: "Yes, after Xinghua, I will make a lot of money!" ”
When Xinghua heard this, she happily crumpled the clothes in her hands.
Chen and Chen Daniu glanced at each other, and they both saw each other's eyes brightening amazingly.
Chen finally stabilized his feelings and asked, "We have made all the money, what should you two do?" ”
"Yes, yes, the Xia family, don't cut off your own wealth!"
Xia Mei chuckled, "Brother Chen, auntie, don't worry!" It's true that I have a chef sitting in the restaurant, but I also said that I will take two dividends! ”
Chan gasped, "Oh my God! That...... Over the course of a year, it's not a few hundred pieces of silver! Xia family, you can really do it! ”
Xia Mei smiled but did not speak. When Chen Daniu heard this, although he was surprised, he was also relieved.
Only then did he smile and say to his daughter-in-law: "Look at you, isn't this nonsense?!" The father of the Xia family is the only talent within a radius of dozens of miles, his daughter, can it be worse?! ”
Seeing that Xia Mei's face was a little gloomy, Chen glared at him, and said to Xia Mei: "Xia family, look at me this night, I didn't even ask you, have you had dinner?" Judging by the way you just came back, I'm afraid you're still hungry! ”
"Auntie, I only remembered it as soon as you said it, I really haven't eaten yet!"
Chen slapped his thigh anxiously, "Really! Why didn't you say it earlier! You wait, my aunt will go and give you a note! After saying that, he got up hurriedly and went to the kitchen.
Chen Daniu had been smelling the aroma of the jar of wine brought by Xia Mei for a long time, and his saliva was gluttonous, and then he shouted at Chen: "Xinghua damn, fry some peanuts for me, I can taste the taste of this good wine!" ”
"Look at you!"
Chen glared at him, "Don't come to help light the fire!" ”
Chen Daniu thought about it, his daughter-in-law was gone, and he was awkward to be a big man, so he thought: "Okay, good, come here!" ”
Leaving Xinghua and Tang Bao to pester Xia Mei and ask about some new things in the town......
Chen's hands and feet were quick, and after a while, the noodles were ready, and he also made a few side dishes, and everyone accompanied them, eating and drinking with a smile.
Soon it was time to go, Tang Bao was already drowsy, Xia Mei said goodbye, took Tang Bao home, washed and slept.
But Chen pulled the apricot blossom to clean up the pork, then boiled water to wash, and each went back to the house to rest with a happy mood.
