Chapter 12 Buying and Selling (2)
"This is not good, let's find another one, there is a difference between the length of the fingers stretched out, and the second shop in the world can't look down on people! There is nothing to worry about with such a person, when you have money, walk in in brocade clothes, in his eyes, you are the Jade Emperor, if you are in tattered clothes, you are naturally nothing in his eyes. Li Xin pulled Wen Hao and walked away slowly.
"Isn't the eldest sister angry at all?"
"There's nothing to be angry about, and when you see more, you get used to it. What you have to do is not to get angry, let alone to deal with him, but to work hard step by step to make yourself strong enough. There is a saying that 'rather bully the white bearded man, don't bully the young and poor, and eventually there must be a day when the dragon wears the phoenix, and I don't believe in the pants and the hole.' It is better to offend a rich white-headed old man than to look down on a poor young man, and if a young man tries hard, sooner or later he will rise to prominence, and he does not believe that he will always wear pants with holes all his life. Since you are looked down upon today, you have to work harder tomorrow to make a big day and impress those people. ”
"I know the eldest sister, I will definitely work hard, and in the future, let the eldest sister, eldest brother and younger sister all wear beautiful clothes and eat a lot of delicious food."
"Look, then let's go to Pinxiang Pavilion and have a look!" While talking and walking, it didn't take long to arrive at Pinxiang Pavilion, the scale of Pinxiang Pavilion is about the same as that of Yuanke. Speaking of which, the distance between Yuankelai and Pinxiangge is really not far away, and I don't know if they will affect each other's business. The two sisters and brothers stood at the door and looked, Wen Hao was a little hesitant to step forward, he was afraid that he would be kicked out again like just now. If he had seen such a restaurant before, he would only dare to smell the fragrance from a distance, and he would not dare to approach.
The shopkeeper of this shop is kind, it is still early at this time, but he can't see how the business is, "Two little guest officers, what do you want to eat?" The shopkeeper greeted them when he saw their sister and brother approaching.
"That's right, I made something at home, and it tasted good, so I thought I'd come and ask to see if Pinxiangge wanted to buy it." Li Xin stepped forward and took off the back basket she was carrying, inside was a clay pot, and all the sour bamboo shoots were placed in the clay pot, for fear of staining the sour bamboo shoots along the way, she also covered the washed bamboo shoot leaves. After taking off the bamboo shoot leaves, she used the clean chopsticks she carried to pick up a little sour bamboo shoots and gave them to the shopkeeper to taste. It's not yet time to eat, so naturally there won't be any business in the store, so the shopkeeper has more patience with them. Seeing that although the clothes of the two children were very torn, they were cleanly washed, their faces were clean, and their hair was carefully combed.
The shopkeeper tasted the sour bamboo shoots, so he welcomed Li Xin's sister and brother into the store, asked them to sit down and wait, and he went to inform the shopkeeper. Before leaving, I also gave them two plates of snacks, so that they could eat with peace of mind and not charge them money. This shopkeeper quickly won Li Xin's favor, if he wants to run a shop in the future, he needs such a guy very much!
After a while, a man of about the age of confusion came down from upstairs, with a goatee and a slight fatness, looking kind and kind. "Your surname is Sun, you are the shopkeeper here, you can call me Sun's shopkeeper or Sun's steward, can you let me see your things?" Shopkeeper Sun had already sat down opposite Li Xin's sister and brother as he spoke.
Li Xin put the big clay basin on the table and handed the chopsticks to the shopkeeper Sun. After tasting it, the shopkeeper Sun said: "It tastes good, but it can only be eaten like pickles, but it doesn't take too much." ”
"Can I borrow a kitchen? I'll make a few dishes for Shopkeeper Sun to taste, and it's not too late for Shopkeeper Sun to say something like this again. ”
"Yes." After the shopkeeper Sun finished speaking, he led Li Xin's sister and brother to the kitchen behind. In the end, it is a restaurant with a large scale, so the kitchen of Pinxiang Pavilion is also very large, although there are no customers yet, but the kitchen is already busy. Some time-consuming soups and the like have to be done, otherwise guests will not be able to get it all at once. There are a lot of fresh ingredients in one corner of the kitchen, and several cooks are washing and processing. Li Xin looked around, then selected a few ingredients and hurriedly made a few dishes, including stir-fried beef with sour bamboo shoots, fish soup with sour bamboo shoots, and stir-fried meat with sour bamboo shoots.
Shopkeeper Sun nodded while tasting the food, the taste was really sour, and it was also very appetizing. It's okay now, if it's a hot summer day, most people can't eat much, and such an appetizing dish will definitely be very popular.
"How many of these do you have?"
"There are eight jars at home, and the jars are all big, and each jar should have fifty or sixty catties. If it is the shopkeeper Sun's request, you can do it all the time. ”
"Pinxiangge's store was originally in the capital, and there are branches all over the country, if you sell this thing well, Pinxiangge can also continue to ask for it, and the amount is also very large. If it's just one of you, then how much you do, Pinxiang Pavilion should be able to use it up. But I have two conditions, first, you have to tell us how to cook the food; Second, you can't sell to anyone else. ”
"The conditions are actually not excessive, but in any restaurant, no one has some secret recipes. Anyway, the recipe is also our family heirloom, if the shopkeeper Sun wants, I can sell it to the shopkeeper Sun. I will have quite a few dishes, I said, you can have people write it down. It is good to say that it is not sold to others, as long as the shopkeeper Sun does not renegade the agreement first, then this article will always be valid. ”
"How are you going to sell the recipe?"
"One hundred taels of silver, I'll tell you the recipes for all the dishes I can make with sour bamboo shoots."
"How do I know if you're going to have anything other than those three dishes?"
"Don't you know right away? If I say it, you will pay the money. I want to do business with Shopkeeper Sun all the time, so naturally I won't be greedy for small things. ”
"Okay, that's settled. I'll give you another eight pennies a pound of sour bamboo shoots, how about it? I want as much as you give. ”
"Okay, that's it." A pound of eight dollars is actually very good, bamboo shoots are originally something that does not cost money, that is, it takes a little effort. Here, it seems that the meat is only 16 to 20 wen a catty. However, this thing is still easy to imitate after a long time, even if the taste is not so authentic, in fact, the taste is not much worse after many explorations. This is easy for outsiders to imitate, and she is more worried about the fact that the shopkeeper Sun imitates it himself, because when transporting sour bamboo shoots, in order to keep them fresh, they must bring juice, as long as they put fresh bamboo shoots into those bamboo shoot juices, the bamboo shoots are sour very quickly.
Then there are some home-cooked dishes, which are also easy for people to figure out. This kind of reason is also the reason why Li Xin wants to ask for money for recipes with Shopkeeper Sun. Because she herself doesn't know how long this business will last.
"Okay, since it's decided, then I'll draw up a contract." Shopkeeper Sun quickly drew up a contract according to the terms negotiated by the two, and Li Xin took it and looked at it. It turned out that the words of this world were the same as the modern simplified characters she was familiar with, and she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, she didn't dress as illiterate directly! Otherwise, the road to learning in the future will not be a long one
