CHAPTER XXI

There is almost no sound insulation effect in the mud room, Du Fujin and Zhang Guihua did not shy away from the family, Jin Suo and Yin Suo heard what the two said in the room, their expressions were even more ugly, Jin Suo kicked Yin Suo, and said: "While Daddy and Mother are eating, you go out from the back window to give Brother Xiao Yue a wake-up, and it is not easy to splash the little Lai Pi of the copper lock." ”

The silver lock was laying the cover, and he didn't move when he was kicked, and he lowered his head and said, "Why does my father have to be like this, my face is lost." ”

"Poor! Okay, stop chattering, let's go. If Tongsuo and Brother Yu have made trouble in the past, the whole village will know that our family wants to occupy Brother Xiaoyue's house, and it will be even more embarrassing when the time comes. Jin Suo sighed, if their family was rich, who would be willing to do such a thing to be poked in the back.

"Then you help me lay out the quilt." Silver Lock said, then leaned on the window frame and deftly flipped out, and suddenly disappeared.

Du Qiyue was thinking about his property at home at this time, and when he went to the town before, he spent a few hundred dollars at once, and now he only has a little more than three taels of silver left. He is not used to eating meals made of lard, and plans to keep some of the rapeseed oil for his own use, and sell the rest to make a profit, which can be used to buy three acres of watermelons and melon seedlings, which is equivalent to not earning, so he has to rely on more than three taels of silver to live in the future.

After doing the math, Du Qiyue decided to put his plan to sell dim sum to make money on the agenda, and there are a bunch of ready-made lotus roots and pumpkins at home, although these things can't make any exquisite dim sum, they can still sell for a little money. When he made some money, he went to Orion Du Dashan's house to buy some goat's milk and came back to make milk cakes, which made a lot of money, but goat milk was a bit expensive, and the cost was relatively large.

Yinsuo suddenly rushed in from outside the house and startled Du Qiyue, and when he asked, he realized that his good uncle had not given up, and he really wanted to completely lose face.

"I know, you should go back quickly, don't let your father and mother find out."

Yinsuo nodded, ran out for a while and ran back and said, "Then I'll go back, Brother Xiaoyue, or you just go out to hide first, just don't let them in." ”

Du Qiyue sighed and resigned himself to going out to find the patriarch Du Rende.

Du Rende was very angry when he heard this, and said with some hatred: "It's really a shameless thing, it's not enough to make a fuss in the morning, and I'm in a hurry to be scolded again, it's all the father and mother of five children, why don't you have any face." has a good house to live in and a field to plant, and it is not that the poor life cannot go on. If that's the case, how can you, a nephew, not help? It's really confusing. ”

These words were directed at Du Qiyue, but they were also beating him, suing him that although Du Fujin had done something, if Du Fujin's family was really in trouble, he, as a nephew, could not help but help. Du Qiyue naturally understands this in his heart, in this dynasty that pays attention to clan and moral filial piety, as long as he lives in Liushuwan Village, if Du Fujin's family really can't live, if he doesn't help as a junior, he will also leave a bad reputation.

Although he understood these truths in his heart, Du Qiyue did not answer, only lowered his head and pretended to be obedient. He is not really Du Qiyue, nor is he a real Dafeng Dynasty, he pays attention to reputation and will make some forbearance in some things, in order to live a more comfortable life, but he will not put the cart before the horse to make his life uncomfortable for fame. If there really is a day when Dufujin's family needs his help, whether he can help or how much he helps depends on the future of Dufujin's family, if they have been like now, it is estimated that he will not be willing to help them.

After saying a few more words, Du Rende called his eldest son's husband Lang Bai, and instructed: "You go and talk to the Fujin family, they can be shameless as adults, and a few children can't be affected and ruin their reputation." ”

"Okay, father-in-law, I'll go now, Boss Du's family is too short-sighted." Bai Mo answered.

When Du Qiyue returned home with Dai Momo, Brother Yu and Copper Lock were already staying at the door, and Copper Lock was climbing the wall with a big stone, looking like he wanted to climb in.

The walls of Du Qiyue's house are not too high, but it is really dangerous for a five-year-old child to climb up. Bai Momo hurriedly went over and hugged the copper lock, put him back on the ground, and then said: "The wall is so high, you are not afraid of falling, the skin is boundless." ”

The copper lock was not afraid of him at all, and threw his head back and shouted: "I want to go in, I want to sleep!" ”

Bai Mo curled his fingers and tapped on the head of the copper lock, "You want to sleep back in your own house, this is not your home." Hurry back and do what you want to do here. ”

"This is my home, I will live here in the future, our family has no house anymore, I want to live here with Brother Yu." Copper Lock said arrogantly.

"Why don't you have a house in your family, didn't you live well before, why don't you have a house now, why don't you go back quickly." Bai Momo knocked on his head again, then turned his head and said to Brother Yu'er, who was sitting at the door, "Brother Yu'er, come and go back with your brother." ”

Brother Yu shrank his neck and lowered his head timidly, but he didn't move, and he didn't have the slightest intention of going back.

The four of them were frozen there, the copper lock didn't hold back at first, and lay on the ground like his mother, kicking the ground with his hands and feet and crying: "I want to go in, I want to live here, our family has no house, I want to live here, we are brothers, why don't you let me live." ”

Brother Yu saw the copper lock crying and wiped his eyes and cried, he didn't make a sound, but he looked like he had been greatly wronged, as if Du Qiyue had done something hurtful by not letting the two brothers live in his own home.

Du Qiyue stood aside with a cold expression and watched the two children act, without a trace of fluctuation in his heart. Many people say that children don't understand anything, and it's just that adults don't teach them well when they do wrong things, in fact, some children are born bad, Brother Yu and Tongsuo are eight years old and five years old, they should never have done these things before, but at the moment they cooperate seamlessly, using their own young age as a bargaining chip, which is difficult and helpless.

Bai Momo looked at the two of these brothers and sisters, and he was also bored in his heart, he came back like this at a young age, and he didn't want to be a fuel-efficient lamp when he grew up. It happened that the crying sound of the copper lock attracted some neighbors around Du Qiyue's house, and Bai Mo stopped a gentleman and said: "Du Xiaosan, you go to Du Lao's house for a trip, let the two of them come over and take these two children away, the children are not sensible, adults can't understand, don't make it impossible to get off the table for a while." ”

Bai Momo, as the eldest daughter-in-law of the patriarch, still has some prestige in Liushuwan Village, and the grandfather who called Du Xiaosan immediately ran to Du Fujin's house when he heard it.

Du Fujin was stepping on rapeseed with Zhang Guihua in the open space at the door of the house at the moment, estimating the time in his heart, thinking that when Brother Yu and Tong locked into Du Qiyue's house, he and Zhang Guihua would go there every day in the name of taking care of the children, and they would be able to live in a few days after walking, and once they lived, they would not want their family to move out.

"Alas, good days are ahead!" Du Fujin said beautifully, as if he had already lived in Du Qiyue's house.

But before he finished his beauty, Du Xiaosan ran over, gasped and said, "Boss Du, take your mother-in-law to your nephew Du Qiyue's house, your two children are making trouble!" ”

What Du Fujin wants is for Brother Yu and the copper lock to make trouble, how can he stop it, so he raised his eyelids, continued to step on the rape under his feet and said: "Just make trouble, we adults don't interfere in the affairs of children's families!" ”

"It's just that when a child quarrels, how can that person interfere." Zhang Guihua followed.

In this way, Du Xiaosan saw that there was nothing unclear, this clearly showed that Du Fujin and Zhang Guihua knew about this, he sighed in his heart, and said: "It's not that, your two children want to live in Du Qiyue's house for no reason, it's really not the same, the patriarch's family will let me come to you when I see it." I said you better hurry up, don't invite the head of the clan, it's not good-looking! ”

"How could Hakufuro be there?" Zhang Guihua's heart trembled, he and Du Fugui could be said to have run through the patriarch and several clan uncles in the clan a while ago, although those clan uncles did not agree to their approach, but they did not mean to stop them, but only the patriarch Du Rende made it clear that he would not agree with their ideas, and now that Bai Mo came out to take care of this matter, Zhang Guihua was worried that it was Du Rende's instructions.

"How do I know, you guys hurry up, don't stick here!" Du Xiaosan waved his arm and said.

Du Fujin also frowned when he heard Bai Momo's name, he jumped down from the rape stack, and said to Zhang Guihua: "You go and see those two children, don't let people bully them, I'll clean up and go over." ”

"Cheng, you'll come right away!" Zhang Guihua said that she understood what Du Fujin meant, he should have gone to the brothers who were more supportive of them to help, and she couldn't make a mess.

Du Qiyue's identity is not good, so he came out to teach the two children a lesson, so he came to deal with them in vain, and he himself stood aside and watched, without the slightest intention of opening the courtyard door. Therefore, Brother Yu and Tong Suo made a lot of trouble at the door of Du Qiyue's house, but they didn't get into the yard in the end, and the two of them could only cry harder and howl harder, and they were also desperate.

When Zhang Guihua rushed over, she saw her two children crying, but Du Qiyue still looked cold-hearted and cold-hearted, so she deliberately said: "Oh, oops, evil, look at what it looks like to cry, we can't live at home, you two talk to your little brother Yue, is it possible that he will watch your two younger brothers sleep in the wilderness!" ”

"Old Du, I don't understand what you say, why can't you live in the law, why did you live well yesterday, but today you can't live anymore, is the roof collapsed or the bed collapsed, if that's the case, I'll immediately call the gentlemen in the village and let them help clean up the bed and roof." Bai Mo walked up to Zhang Guihua and said with a look of disdain.

"It's not that the golden lock and the silver lock are old, and the two of them can't live in the same room. Brother Yu is not small, and he can't always lock a room with a copper lock iron, and it's good for the little brother to live alone. It happened that Xiaoyue lived alone, and the house was empty, so the two children wanted to come over to live with Xiaoyue, and he lived alone in the province. Zhang Guihua pulled up her waist and wiped the tears and snot on her face for Brother Yu and the copper lock, and said.

"Staying with them, what can the two children do together, I think it's just to make trouble for Xiaoyue. And although Brother Yu and Xiao Yue are cousins, Brother Yu is a half-grown little brother after all, so it's a matter of living in. Besides, Du Lao's family, you said that there is no house to live in this family, but your children are growing up one by one, and the house will not get bigger, I don't think you will have the money to build a few more houses, but you will tell me how long these two children will live? Bai Momo patted the back of his hand and asked.

Zhang Guihua was speechless, and said: "The relatives of the family are so clear. ”

"As the saying goes, brothers still settle accounts, not to mention that you are just cousins, separated by a layer, don't explain how to do it. If others say that your family wants to occupy Xiaoyue's house under the pretext of children, it will not be good. Bai Mo said.

"We are kind-hearted, how did we become the ones who occupy other people's houses!" Zhang Guihua said with wide eyes.

"How do you say this, others don't know what your own family thinks in their hearts, others only know that you live in Xiaoyue's house. Everyone, you have to think clearly, you are going to ruin the reputation of the children by doing this. It doesn't matter if the copper lock is a master, but Brother Yu'er is a little brother who is afraid that people will not be easy to find in the future, and there are two gold locks and silver locks, if you are tired for two years, I am afraid it will be difficult to say kiss! Bai Mo said.

"How could this be!" Zhang Guihua was stunned, she had never thought about this, and now when she heard Bai Mo Mo say this, she was worried, reputation in the countryside is very important, especially in the years when she is about to discuss marriage, the quality of reputation can directly determine the quality of the future marriage partner.

"Will you understand for yourself, I advise you to take the two children back immediately while there are still few people, what will it be like to stay here." Mo Mo said.

Zhang Guihua began to hesitate in her heart, her eyes kept looking at the way she came, waiting for Du Fujin to come over.

Bai Momo was very impatient, and said to Zhang Guihua: "It was my father-in-law who asked me to persuade you, don't be unconscious, everyone will be ugly when the time comes." ”

Zhang Guihua was still hesitating, but Du Fujin ran over, blushing and said to Bai Mo: "Let's take the two children home, Osmanthus, hurry up, take Brother Yu away." ”

"Boss, this?" Zhang Guihua looked at Du Fujin puzzled.

"Hurry, what are you doing in a daze!" Dufujin roared, picked up the copper lock that was still lying on the ground with a stinky face, and ran home. Dufukin's heart was full of embarrassment and anger at this time, he had promised several elders in the clan before, and those old men accepted his gifts at that time, but they nodded and said that they would help, but when he went to look for them just now, those old men pretended to be deaf and dumb, and none of them were willing to come forward.

Du Fujin didn't understand that there were many things about the death of elders and the taking over of property by close relatives, how could others do this at most to be said by others, and it would be an unforgivable sin for him to do so.

Many times poverty can make people apathetic, and money can dilute feelings, and it is normal to bury a little family affection in the countryside for a little money. If Du Qiyue is just an ordinary countryman, without the help of outsiders and no brothers to help, and the relationship with the second uncle's family is also very cold, Du Fujin, the uncle, who occupies Du Qiyue's property under the pretext of taking care of Du Qiyue, really not many people will care.

However, Du Qiyue is one of the few scholars in the Du family, and he is still the smartest among them, he is very likely to be admitted to Xiucai in the future, and even to be an official slaughterer, and those who have foresight will have some concerns about such people.

Du Fujin's family's plan is gone, and Du Qiyue can finally prepare his own small business with peace of mind. He was not very familiar with this dynasty, and the original owner had never paid attention to the business matters, so he wanted to find someone to help, but Liu Momo was busy stepping on rape and couldn't spare time, so Du Qiyue had to ask Brother Liu to help.

Knowing that he could go to the town to help with business, Brother Liu was so happy that he was about to dance. Liu Momo slapped him with a smile and reprimanded: "What does little brother look like this, don't hurry up and sit down for me." ”

"Ah, it hurts!" Brother Liu covered his arms and shouted exaggeratedly.

"I don't have the strength to do it, what do you hurt. Don't get carried away and miscalculate the money when the time comes. Liu Momo reprimanded.

"No, I will miscalculate everything, but I will never miscalculate money!" Brother Liu pouted and said.

The next day, Du Qiyue got up in the morning, spent more than an hour making 100 raw embryos of pumpkin pie and glass lotus root cake, and neatly packed them into a large basket covered with lotus leaves. In order to prevent these dough embryos from sticking together, Du Qiyue spread a layer of lotus leaves on each layer, and finally covered the top with a cloth. Then he put the small bench, small stove, small iron pot and oil canned food he had prepared yesterday into a large bamboo basket and carried it behind his back, and went out with the basket.

Brother Liu has been waiting at the entrance of the village, he has dressed up today, wearing a new dress, a wooden hairpin is inserted in his hair, his face is smeared with balm, and his fingers are also painted with pale pink red fingers, which looks very beautiful. It's just a little too feminine, and it's not the same as his usual appearance.

Du Qiyue is a little unaccustomed, although he knows that Brother Liu is not a real boy, but judging from his appearance, he is just a delicate boy, and he usually looks very lively, Du Qiyue has always treated him as an ordinary boy, and suddenly saw him dressed like a little girl, Du Qiyue inevitably changed a little.

Great Lakes is a thriving town, with good business development, and the town is very lively every day, and the streets are full of small vendors doing business. It's still early, there are not many people on the street, and there are not many stalls, Du Qiyue and Liu Ge'er quickly found a vacant lot when they arrived in the West Market, Du Qiyue put down the things in his hand, pointed to the little official standing on the street watching the venue, and said to Liu Ge'er: "I'll pay the booth fee, you put the things out first." ”

"Well, Brother Xiaoyue, go over quickly" Brother Liu nodded, and laid out the things in the basket one by one.

Depending on the size of the stall, they have to pay 10 to 50 yuan for setting up a stall, and Du Qiyue only needs to pay 10 yuan for the small piece of land they occupy. At this time, it was the time when there were the most people setting up stalls, Du Qiyue queued up for a while to pay the money, and when he went back, Liu Ge'er was about to light a small clay stove, Du Qiyue hurriedly stopped him: "Don't light the stove first, there are still few people shopping now!" ”

"But they're all starting to do it!" Brother Liu glanced at a gentleman next to him who was also selling dim sum, and he had already started to make the oil pot.

"He fried ring cakes, which are delicious when cold, but our glass cakes and pumpkin cakes are to be fried and eaten, and they will be greasy when they are cold, so we will start making them when we have a little more." Du Qiyue said.

Brother Liu nodded, sat on the stool and began to look curiously at the stall next to him. The air is full of the smell of food, there are not many snacks here, this is just the beginning of the stall there are already more than a dozen small food stalls, each stall sells basically different things, looking at the past is really a world of food.

Seeing Brother Liu staring at the things on those snack stalls with relish, Du Qiyue said: "When we sell out, I invite you to eat noodles, I know that there is a noodle stall here where the noodles are particularly delicious." ”

"No, no, if you want to eat noodles, I'll just go home and eat them, but don't spend this money." Brother Liu hurriedly shook his head.

"If you help me sell these today, a bowl of noodles will be considered your reward." Du Qiyue said.

"Don't talk about the reward, the fabric you gave me and Ah Mo last time is worth a lot of money, if you spend money on me again, I will have to beat me when I go home." Brother Liu pouted and said, his expression was extremely resolute.

"Okay, okay, last time your brother accompanied me to the street and saw that he wanted to buy you milk cake but didn't have the money, so I promised him to make you milk cake. After I saved a little money, I went to Du Dashan's house to buy some goat's milk to make milk cakes to sell, and then I would give you a full meal. You're definitely not going to scold you. Du Qiyue said.

"Really!" Brother Liu blinked and said in surprise with big eyes.

"Of course."

The street soon became lively, people from various villages rushed to the market crowded in front of the stalls, Du Qiyue's stall was also officially opened, their pumpkin pie and glazed lotus root cake are sold for three cents a piece, although it is a little expensive, but because it is freshly eaten, it looks very good, so soon someone came to buy one or two to try it. There is no doubt about Du Qiyue's craftsmanship, everyone who eats it says it is delicious, and more than a dozen people soon gathered in front of the stall.

Wu Mingyao is summoning the shopkeeper here, he has just moved to this Dahu Town, and he has been settling his family business a few days ago, and he is only free today, so he hurriedly came out to inspect his own property. However, after doing it for more than half an hour, the entire restaurant was still empty and there were not many people, so Wu Mingyao asked the shopkeeper who was a little nervous standing in front of him: "Are these few people on weekdays?" Why, I look at the ledger well. ”

The shopkeeper Li Xingcai kept wiping his sweat with a handkerchief, he had been in Dahu Town for most of his life, and when he saw the master from Dadu for the first time, he couldn't help but feel nervous. You must know that the emperor is far away these years, he is not greedy for silver, and when he hears the word account book at this time, his legs are a little shaky, and he said hesitantly: "Master, it's still early, everyone is visiting the morning market, there are many food stalls there, and the price is cheap, everyone will eat there." When the morning market is over, there will be more of us. ”

"Is it possible that the food in the morning market is better than the one in our restaurant, and can rob all the customers?" Wu Mingyao threw down the account book in his hand and looked at Li Xingcai condescendingly and asked.

"Although the food on the small stall is not as exquisite as our restaurant, there are many ancestral food stalls, and the taste is also very good." Li Xingcai lowered his head and said.

Wu Mingyao was a little interested when he heard this, the chefs on his side are all very good, it is difficult to make the food not as good as those small stalls, so he stood up and went out with two personal little maids Liuming and Lianming.

Liu Ming and Lian Ming are all masters in their twenties, and they have been serving Wu Mingyao since they were a few years old, this time Wu Mingyao was sent to the small place of Dahu Town as the second son who was suppressed by the eldest brother, and these two people knew that Wu Mingyao was not obvious on his face, and he was actually very depressed in his heart. In addition, his sick cousin also came to him, which made Wu Mingyao even more bored, and now seeing that Wu Mingyao was going to go shopping, the two of them happily followed behind.

When Wu Mingyao arrived in the West Market, it was the most lively period, he walked over one by one, and bought it when he saw delicious and fun, and when he walked to Du Qiyue's stall, he saw that there were more than a dozen people crowded there, so he walked over to find out. The pumpkin cake made by Du Qiyue looks like a real pumpkin, it looks delicate and cute, and the crystal lotus cake looks crystal clear and eye-catching, and Wu Mingyao immediately fell in love with these two small snacks. I thought about buying some and giving them to my cousin Zhao Yiyun, Zhao Yiyun has started to get sick again in the past few days, and the food is very good, so I just bought these two small snacks and went back, maybe he will eat them when they look interesting.

Liuming, who was following Zhao Yiyun, saw Wu Mingyao staring at Du Qiyue's small stall, so he walked to Wu Mingyao's side and said, "If you want to eat, go buy two pieces for you?" ”

Wu Mingyao was thinking about how to persuade his cousin to eat more, and when he heard Liu Ming say this, he stepped forward and stood in front of Du Qiyue and said, "This little Langjun, what are the names of your two cakes, and how are they sold?" ”

Du Qiyue saw that Wu Mingyao was wearing a good silk shirt, and the polite smile on his face became a little brighter, and he introduced it politely: "This yellow one is an ordinary pumpkin cake, and the other one is called crystal lotus root cake, both of which are three pennies each, this young master, are you?" ”

"Ten of both." Wu Mingyao glanced at Lian Ming, who was standing behind him, and asked him to pay Brother Liu, while he stared at the fragrant crystal lotus cake in the pot and asked, "The name of this crystal lotus cake is good, is it made of lotus root, I haven't seen a cake made of lotus root like this before." ”

"It's really made of lotus root, but I added something special to make it like this." Du Qiyue said, glanced up slightly at Wu Mingyao, and thought to himself that this person was from a big family at first glance, how could he be so stupid to ask people about the eating method, and not everyone can make steamed buns, who would say this kind of novelty!

Du Qiyue's disdain was well hidden, but Wu Mingyao still found out, he touched his nose embarrassedly, and he remembered that this place was no longer a big capital, and the people here didn't know that he was the second child of the Wu family who was looking for food, and they didn't know that he asked about the meaning of buying food.

However, Wu Mingyao is very patient with everyone who can make delicious food, he stood in front of Du Qiyue's stall and waited for him to fry the first five crystal lotus root cakes, and then took one and brought it to his mouth to take a bite. Wu Mingyao chewed and was immediately attracted by the taste of the lotus root cake of the glaze, the outer skin is crispy, the internal force is soft and smooth, and under the bite of the lotus root fragrance and planning, it is an excellent dim sum. said to Du Qiyue: "This cake tastes very good, but can you make it beautiful?" ”

Du Qiyue was sandwiching the leftover firewood in the stove outside, Wen Yan looked up at Wu Mingyao, and felt that this person was really troublesome, eating snacks and snacks, eating the taste is good, who will pay attention to whether things are good or not, but he still replied: "Of course you can, this cake can be more crystal clear after it is done, and the shape can also be very beautiful, but it is annoying if it is beautiful, and it is not sold at a high price in the market, so it can be made into the current appearance." ”

"But you're cute little pumpkin."

"It's not just cute, it's delicious, and I've put a special stuffing in it." Du Qiyue picked up a freshly fried pumpkin pie and put it on a banana leaf and handed it to Wu Mingyao.

Wu Mingyao took it and blew it and took a bite, the outside of the small pumpkin pie was fried by the crispy skin, and after the bite was broken, the inside was very soft and glutinous, and then there was a sweet and fragrant filling flowing out, the taste Wu Mingyao had never eaten, the fragrance was very strong, but it would not make people feel greasy.

Wu Mingyao finished eating a small pumpkin pie in two bites, and after wiping his mouth with a handkerchief, Wu Mingyao stared at Du Qiyue with his eyes tightly and asked, "This Langjun, I want to buy these two dim sum recipes with you, do you sell them?" ”

Du Qiyue and Liu Ge'er looked up at Wu Mingyao in surprise. Brother Liu was very surprised, he knew, this kind of big family people buy food and eat is very generous, it is estimated that the practice of this glass lotus cake can be sold for a dollar or two, which is much less effort than them selling dim sum. Du Qiyue was surprised, he really hadn't thought about selling dim sum recipes.

Wu Mingyao saw that Du Qiyue didn't speak, thinking that he was unhappy, so he said: "This Langjun, I am the owner of Zuifu Building, I think that your pumpkin pie and sleeping lotus cake can be sold in Zuifu Building, if you are willing to sell it, the price can be negotiated, but you have to tell me how to make this lotus root cake more beautiful." ”

Du Qiyue blinked, he knew in his heart that these two dim sum were just looking bluffing on the outside, which made people feel that it must be difficult to do, in fact, this method was very simple, he thought that it might be a little unkind to sell this method, but he thought of the current economic situation at home, and he struggled a little in his heart to respond.

Du Qiyue said to Wu Mingyao: "Then how about this master, I will go to your restaurant to make a few beautiful crystal lotus cakes for you, if you think it is good, we will talk about the price." But I said in advance, no one can watch me when I make it, even if I don't do it well, uncle, you can't let us lose the ingredients for the crystal lotus cake. And after negotiating the price, I took the money and gave you the prescription, and then the rest of the matter has nothing to do with me. And if I want to sell these two kinds of snacks in the future, you can't stop me, but you can only rest assured, this master, I will never sell this recipe to a second person. ”

Wu Mingyao thought for a while and nodded: "I can agree to these conditions." So, now let's go? ”

"We haven't sold our snacks yet!" Brother Liu interjected.

Wu Mingyao glanced at the few snacks left in the basket beside Du Qiyue and said, "I bought all of these, you can go with me." ”

If you can sell things quickly, Du Qiyue and Liu Ge'er certainly have no objection, the two quickly packed up their things and followed Wu Mingyao and the two little guys to Zuifu Building. Du Qiyue didn't remember that this restaurant was where the original owner's father used to work when he walked to the door of the Zuifu Building, which made Du Qiyue's heart a little uncomfortable, and Du Qiyue in his memory would come to Du Fugui every time he came to the town, and there were many happy memories of Du Qiyue here.

Wu Mingyao entered the restaurant and saw that there were more guests sitting and eating in the lobby, and he was less worried about the business situation before. He beckoned to the shopkeeper Li Xingcai, pointed at Du Qiyue and said: "This little Langjun is going to make a snack, if he does a good job and wants to buy his recipe, you take him to the kitchen, remember not to let people look at it." ”

Li Xingcai knew Du Qiyue, and when he saw the expression on Du Qiyue's face, he was stunned for a moment, "Xiaoyue, why are you?" ”

"Uncle Li, long time no see." Du Qiyue said to Li Xingcai.

"How do you know each other?" Wu Mingyao looked like old acquaintances between the two, so he asked.

"If you go back to your grandfather, this Du Xiaolangjun's father was originally a dim sum chef in our restaurant, and the dim sum he made was very good." Li Xingcai replied.

"Oh! That's really fateful, no wonder this little Langjun's dim sum is so delicious. Wu Mingyao laughed and asked, "Then you learned this craft from your father?" ”

"Yes, it was taught by my father." Du Qi lied without blinking.

"So you're going to make other snacks?" Wu Mingyao asked.

"Is this nature?"

"Everything is as delicate and delicious as this?"

"I can't say that everything is so delicate, but the taste is definitely not bad." Du Qiyue said that he is very confident in his craft.

"That's right." Wu Mingyao touched his chin, a gleam flashed in his eyes, he doesn't have any hobbies, he just likes to accept chefs with good skills, if this Du Qiyue is true, he is a little interested.

Du Qiyue was quickly taken by the shopkeeper Li to the small kitchen in the backyard, and he quickly finished making two kinds of dim sum and brought it out, this time he made it more fine, and the materials in the drunken building were also good, so the taste was better. After Wu Mingyao tasted and confirmed Du Qiyue's craftsmanship, he asked: "I don't know if Du Jialangjun is willing to come to my restaurant to be a dim sum master, I guarantee that the salary is much more than what you earn by setting up a stall outside." ”

Du Qiyue thought that Wu Mingyao was going to negotiate the price with him, but he didn't expect him to say this, but being a dim sum chef is a job suitable for him to do. Du Qiyue hesitated, and before he could speak, Brother Liu shouted: "No, my little brother Yue will take the imperial examination in the future, how can I come here to work." ”

"Hey, you're a reader? How can you come out to sell dim sum" Wu Mingyao looked at Du Qiyue with some surprise, Du Qiyue is really very different from the readers he has seen, those readers are arrogant and love face, where would they be willing to set up a small stall to sell dim sum.

"Yes, I used to study at an academy in town."

Wu Mingyao nodded, and quickly said: "It's not in the way if you are a scholar, I don't hire you to work seriously, you just come to help me, let's write a contract, and I will still pay you." ”

When Du Qiyue heard this, he wanted to agree, but immediately thought that he was still in filial piety, and he didn't know whether he could often go out to work during the period of filial piety, and he couldn't ask here, so he said, "Can I think about it." ”

Wu Mingyao understood that the scholar still cared about these things in the end, and he didn't blame it, and said, "If you think about it, just come over." I'll buy these two dim sum recipes first, and I'll give fifteen pieces each, don't you think it's possible? ”

A simple dim sum house sells for fifteen yuan, which should be very high in the eyes of ordinary people, Du Qiyue is not unwilling, so he said: "This price is okay, but please exchange twenty-five of them for silver ingots for me, and I will take it and hit other people's eyes." ”

"No problem." Wu Mingyao nodded and said to Shopkeeper Li: "You go and get the money." ”

Shopkeeper Li immediately took a bag of things wrapped in coarse blue cloth from the account room and handed it to Du Qiyue, Du Qiyue held the cloth bag in his arms, opened a corner and looked at it, there were three ingots of silver, two ingots of ten taels, one ingot of five taels, and five copper coins.

After making sure that there was no problem with the amount of money, the two signed a contract. When Du Qiyue pulled Brother Liu out of the Zuifu Building, it only took half an hour. Brother Liu looked dazed and was pulled by Du Qiyue, it was the first time in his life that he saw so much money, and he couldn't come back to his senses in surprise for a while.
