kept walking into the box, Zhao Yongzhong still felt that what had just happened was a little untrue, but the awkward silver in his hand reminded him that it was indeed true.

"Dad, I've been stunned once in the morning, why are you staying here again? Why don't you put the money away quickly, for fear that people won't know that you have it? I'm not afraid of being robbed! Zhao Siniang said with a smile.

Zhao Yongzhong was taken aback and hurriedly stuffed the silver into his pocket.

After Zhao Siniang's joke, Zhao Yongzhong finally came back to his senses and asked, "Wouldn't it be appropriate for us to accept this silver like this?" ”

"What's wrong? This is what we earned by our ability! Although it was borrowed from his Qingfeng Building, you also heard that relying on our balls to help his family bring a big customer, the shopkeeper still wants to thank us! So, father, you put away the money in peace. Zhao Siniang persuaded with a smile.

Who doesn't like money? It's just that I didn't feel down-to-earth just now, but after Zhao Siniang's persuasion, Zhao Yongzhong felt relieved, and now he began to happily calculate the use of the ten taels of silver.

"Siniang, in the morning, I also said that the five taels of silver to build a blue brick and tile house as a shop may not be enough! Now with these ten taels of silver, it will be more than enough! Zhao Yongzhong said happily.

Zhao Siniang nodded, and was just about to answer, when she saw the guy who had just sent them in to sit brought in a pot of tea and four plates of dim sum.

"I heard that the two of you came over after lunch, and our restaurant has nothing to entertain, so we can only serve you some tea and snacks. Please also use it slowly, our shopkeeper will be here in a while. The guy said with a smile on his face.

Zhao Yongzhong's father and daughter thanked him.

When the guy retreated, Zhao Yongzhong began to feel uneasy again, and said: "Siniang, we just did a small favor, and the shopkeeper was too polite, right?" ”

"We think it's a small favor, maybe people think it's a big favor? Well, I guess the shopkeeper will come over to talk to us about the balls business later, and now that he is so sincere, maybe this deal can really be done. Zhao Siniang speculated.

Zhao Yongzhong was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "If you really want to do a meatball business, then how can we sell it?" This doesn't bring soup, does it sell for six pennies? ”

Zhao Siniang held her forehead and said helplessly: "Of course not!" Then it's ordinary balls that are sold. The meatballs we brought today are freshly made with fresh fish and shrimp, and egg whites are added to them, which is much more expensive. Moreover, the fish rot is fried in oil, and it will be a loss if it is sold for six pennies. ”

"How much should it be sold for?" Zhao Yongzhong asked.

"Well, fish balls and shrimp balls are sold for three pennies; Meatballs with stuffing are a little more troublesome to make, so they sell for two pennies; As for the fish curd, just sell it for a penny! Zhao Siniang said the price she had thought of on the road.

"The work of making meatballs is not easy, and the price set for other meatballs is also appropriate, but will this fish curd be too expensive? Even if you use oil, you don't have to sell it for a penny, right? Zhao Yongzhong wondered.

"For such a big restaurant, a penny is nothing. And our fish rot has been recognized by the distinguished guests, and his family should be willing to pay this price! Speaking of this, Zhao Siniang rolled her eyes, let out a long sigh, and said pitifully: "Dad, you also know that these things are laborious to make, but it is not too difficult to imitate." You just let me sell it for a few more money while his house hasn't imitated it yet. When it comes to dividends at the end of the month, let's divide a few of my pocket money! ”

"That's the same, I don't dare to expect his family to be able to supply us for a long time!" Zhao Yongzhong saw that the little girl was a little sad, and hurriedly coaxed her: "It is estimated that the Communist Party will not be able to do it for a few days, even if this fish rot is sold for a penny, you will not be able to save much pocket money." Later, Dad will go and exchange these ten taels of silver for loose money, how about letting you take a big head? ”

Zhao Siniang cheered in her heart and said secretly: Just wait for you to say so! It's not in vain that I'm putting on this heartbroken face.

The five taels of silver before, the nine people in the shop all contributed to it, and in front of everyone, she was embarrassed to take a cut of it. But these balls are different, she only asked Jiang Yue'e to help her clean up the fish and shrimp, and the other processes were completed by her independently, and there was only Zhao Yongzhong who loved her, so she had no pressure to pull her head.

As soon as Zhao Siniang finished playing tricks, she heard footsteps outside the door. It turned out that Shopkeeper Wang hurried over.

"I'm really sorry to keep you two waiting! My surname is Wang, little brother, what is your surname? Shopkeeper Wang asked with a smile.

Zhao Yongzhong hurriedly stood up and introduced himself and Zhao Siniang.

"Huh? It turns out that you are from Zhaojia Village, don't you live in Jiangjiatan? Shopkeeper Wang was full of doubts, he clearly remembered that the little girl said yesterday that she was from Jiangjiatan?

Zhao Siniang said in her heart: Ouch, hey, my father! You can't introduce yourself without giving your home address, right?

"My mother's maiden home is in Jiangjiatan, thanks to our grandfather's blessing, there is always endless fish at home, and my mother's best thing is to make fish and shrimp. Recently, our family moved from Zhaojia Village to Jiangjiatan, and opened a shop at the wharf there. Zhao Siniang hurriedly answered.

When he was in the stove before, when he heard the shopkeeper Wang praise Jiang's good craftsmanship, Zhao Yongzhong was a little inexplicable, and thought that he had heard a bad ear. At this time, I heard Zhao Siniang say that the practice of these balls was thought up by the Jiang family, and I couldn't help but be surprised, and just about to say something, I felt that Zhao Siniang stepped on his feet gently, and there was no squeak.

Zhao Siniang secretly summed up her experience: Even if you lie, you have to be consistent, you can't make a set of statements in front of one person, otherwise the possibility of goofs is very high!

"Grandpa Wang, I came to the door yesterday to sell these balls, what do you think of these balls now?" Zhao Siniang knew that her lies couldn't stand scrutiny, so she was busy getting to the point.

"Of course I'm satisfied!" At this time, the shopkeeper Wang, who nodded in approval, suddenly asked, "What do your shops sell?" You don't just sell meatballs, do you? ”

"Of course not. Our family runs a noodle shop, mainly selling noodles. These meatballs are only placed in the noodle soup for garnish, so I think it's a bit of a pity, so I want to sell such delicious meatballs to a big restaurant. Zhao Siniang replied half-truthfully.

"Oh, apart from our restaurant, have you ever been to other restaurants to ask?" Shopkeeper Wang asked hurriedly.

"Not really, your house is the first. Originally, I wanted to run a few more stores yesterday, but when I received a snack from you, I happily went straight home! Zhao Siniang said with a smile.

Shopkeeper Wang relieved himself and asked, "I am very satisfied with your balls, how are you going to sell them?" ”
