Ostensibly, he asked me to be a chef, but in fact, he should have taken the opportunity to learn how to boil fish, and then he fired me.

Good way!

Two taels of silver per month is indeed a great temptation for a peasant boy, and many families can't earn two taels of silver all year round.

It's a pity that Xu Youxuan lured the wrong person.

Qiduo couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.

A profiteer is indeed a profiteer, and does not give up any opportunity to calculate others.

Liuju looked at Qiduo with envious eyes, wow, Duo is so powerful, the spring breeze proudly wants to hire her as a master!

After envy, it is proud of Qiduo.

Qiduo smiled and replied to Xu Youxuan, "Thank you Xu Shaodong's family for your love, it's just that we countrymen are used to being free and can't do this important work." ”

Tactfully refused.

Xu Youxuan was surprised, he didn't expect such a good treatment, Qiduo would refuse.

"Little brother is too humble, you have superb cooking skills, and you are definitely worthy of the position of the master chef of our Spring Breeze Proud Building." Xu Youxuan persuaded.

Qiduo shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Xu Shaodong, I won't tell you, I came to you at this time because we just dug up fresh bamboo shoots, I don't know if you need it, the bamboo shoots in the boiled fish before are our bamboo shoots." ”

"You brought your own bamboo shoots?" Xu Youxuan's eyebrows moved slightly.

He had eaten boiled fish before, and found that not only were the fish slices tender, but also crisp and refreshing, as if they were better than the bamboo shoots he had eaten on a daily basis.

Not only did he think it was delicious, but those guests also praised the good taste of the bamboo shoots, and praised the chef of the Spring Breeze Building for his good cooking skills.

"Yes, if not. Then we'll go first. Qiduo nodded.

"What's the matter. You said you would be paid ...... before," Liuju looked at He Guan. Subtle reminders.

This sentence was told to her by Qiduo in advance and let her see the opportunity.

"Ahem! Rest assured, you will be paid indispensably. Steward He looked at Xu Youxuan and coughed lightly.

Xu Youxuan's slender fingers tapped lightly on the table and asked, "I wonder if the little brother can make boiled pork slices and boiled cabbage in addition to boiled fish?" ”

"Both." Qiduo replied confidently.

It will be good, what a caretaker is very happy in his heart, and there is no need to worry about this matter anymore.

"I don't beat around the bush either. I would like to ask my little brother to teach our master to cook these two dishes, including the boiled fish, and give you five taels of silver, how about the little brother? Xu Youxuan said very directly.

Qiduo smiled, "Of course, it's no problem to teach everyone to make these three dishes, as long as Xu Shaodong's family buys these three recipes, I will teach them immediately." ”

"Buy the recipe? Don't know how much it costs? Xu Youxuan asked cautiously.

looked at Qiduo's eyes with more scrutiny, this kid is really shrewd, and he knows how to sell recipes.

"Boiled fish belongs to the Shu cuisine series, and Shu cuisine is the most distinctive cuisine. Integrate the characteristics of the east, west, north and south, and strive to learn from the strengths of all families. It is characterized by spicy and fresh fragrance, the taste is fresh and mellow, the dishes are diverse, and the selection of materials is convenient, which can be not only fresh and fragrant, but also wild vegetables and poultry.

I think that the Spring Breeze Proud House is the largest restaurant in our Tonglin County, and the master of your restaurant will not do it, and I believe that the people in other restaurants will not. Our Tonglin County is located on the bank of the Mianjiang River, there are guests from all over the world, if you add a series of Shu cuisine to your restaurant, I believe that this business will be on a higher level.

No, if I go to open a Sichuan restaurant, it will be opened opposite your restaurant, maybe the business will be very hot. Well, that's a good idea. Qiduo did not directly answer Xu Youxuan's question, but talked about the characteristics of Shu cuisine.

These seemingly casual words made Xu Youxuan's eyes light up.

treats Qiduo differently, she is no longer an ordinary chef who can cook in his eyes, but a businessman with a lot of business acumen.

He now finally understood why Qiduo would refuse to be a chef in the Spring Breeze Triumph Building.

At the same time, he became curious about the identity of Qiduo.

Not to mention that he is just an ordinary peasant boy, even if he has studied behind his father for many years, he does not know enough about the famous dishes of other provincial capitals of the Daimyo Dynasty, and it is the first time he has come into contact with Shu cuisine.

Why does this young man, who is much younger than himself, know so much?

Although Steward He also expressed his amazement at Qiduo's insight, he was a little disdainful of her thoughts, and said, "Little brother, opening a restaurant is not a matter of three or two sentences, I don't know how much labor and silver it will take, and even if your restaurant is opened, the dishes are delicious, and without the help of connections, your restaurant will not be able to gain a foothold in the county."

Besides, the Shu cuisine you mentioned is too spicy, and we people here don't necessarily like to eat it, so it's difficult. ”

This is not entirely unreasonable, no matter how good your restaurant is, if you don't have the support of local celebrities, it will be difficult to operate for a long time, of course Qiduo understands.

She has no plans to open a restaurant now, and she said this just to attract Xu Youxuan's heart, and then make some money for herself.

"What's the matter, what you said is also very reasonable, but the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, besides, why do people go to restaurants to eat, isn't it just to eat fresh, eat some rare dishes that can't be eaten at home.

Everyone is used to eating local food, and suddenly there is a Shu restaurant, and they must try it. As for what you said is too spicy, this is not a problem, all dishes can be cooked according to the three flavors of mild spicy, medium spicy and heavy spicy, which is suitable for the needs of different customers. Qiduo explained with a smile.

Well, there's some truth to that, kid!

Steward He was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but bow his head.

Xu Youxuan's hand that was originally knocking on the table had stopped tapping, and he was contemplating Qiduo's words.

The dark eyebrows were gathered together, and the smooth and full forehead was wrinkled.

After a while, Xu Youxuan asked Qiduo, "Little brother, who are you?" ”

"Go back to Xu Shaodong's house, my family has been farming for generations, I am seven at home, Xu Shaodong's family and Steward He call me Xiaoqi, this is Xiaoliu." Qiduo replied with a smile and introduced Liuju, but did not say that they were girls.

Xu Youxuan seemed to be a little unconvinced of her true identity, but it can be seen that her eyes were pure and clear, her expression was calm and calm, she didn't seem to be lying, and she couldn't help but believe it.

He no longer struggled with identity and asked. "Little Seven Brothers. Fang Cai is right. It's not easy to open a restaurant. If we want to buy a few dishes of Shu cuisine, we don't know how to sell them? ”

After listening to Qiduo's words, he knew that she was not easy to fool, and he was embarrassed to talk about other ways to ask for recipes.

"One hundred taels per recipe." Qiduo said with a smile, and then in the stunned eyes of Xu Youxuan and Steward He, he said, "If you buy more, the price is negotiable." For example, Xu Shaodong's family wants to buy ten of the most distinctive Shu dishes, then naturally you can sell them for 1,000 taels or 800 taels, and you can also give away two other famous dishes. ”

Eight hundred taels not only stunned Xu Youxuan and Steward He, but also made Liuju stunned, unable to return to his senses for a long time.

"This ...... That's ridiculously high, too. He Guan said in surprise.

Qiduo shook his head seriously, "What's the matter, if you think the price is too high, it doesn't matter, I can count it cheaper, two hundred taels will be done." But I'll sell them to Joy again. Fu'an House and other restaurants, every restaurant in our county will have the same dishes. The Spring Breeze Triumphant Building will no longer be the only one. ”

Steward He was silent.

The only difference between popularization and popularity, he naturally understands.

He looked at Xu Youxuan.

Xu Youxuan is very moved by Qiduo's proposal, Chunfeng Proud House has always been the industry boss, if you want to continue to maintain this situation, you can't stick to the rules, you have to keep innovating and increasing the variety and characteristics of changing dishes, and be one step ahead of your opponents everywhere, so that you can always be invincible.

But eight hundred taels was not a small amount, and it was difficult for him to make up his mind for a while.

He thought for a while and said to Qiduo, "Little Seventh Brother, if we want to buy recipes, we naturally want to be the only one, if everyone has it, then it won't be too interesting for us to have it." It's just that if this price can be cheaper, eight hundred taels is indeed too appalling.

If we go to Shudi and invite a celebrity chef back, it won't cost eight hundred taels. ”

Qiduo smiled and said, "The method of asking a celebrity chef to make a recipe is completely different. Like that boiling cabbage, the most important thing is the hanging soup, the celebrity chef can help you cook, but will not tell you how the soup is made, you will never have the secret recipe.

After buying the recipe, these secret recipes are all yours, you think about it, don't be in such a hurry to make a decision, by the way, do you want bamboo shoots and bracken, it's not too early, we have to go back. ”

She really wanted to go back.

I don't know if the fourth uncle has found Mrs. Liu, if she finds her, I don't know if she can tell the truth, what the truth is, she is very eager to know Lu Dao.

There are also those two ancestral properties, she wants to see what they look like and why the Tan family dislikes them so much.

"Bamboo shoots and bracken are available." Xu Youxuan nodded briskly.

"How much is a pound?" Qiduo looked at him with a smile and asked.

"You make an offer." Xu Youxuan's attention was on Shu vegetables, and he didn't have much energy to care about these little things at all.

"Xu Shaodong's family is really refreshing, then eleven pennies and a catty." Seven answers.

I was cheated by you last time, but I won't be this time!

"Deal, what's the matter, you took the little seven brothers to weigh, please bring the little seven brothers over again after settling the account." Xu Youxuan commanded.

Steward He nodded yes and brought Qiduo and Liuju downstairs.

Xu Youxuan sat alone for a while, then got up and pushed the door out, hurriedly went downstairs to say a few words to a young man, and then left the restaurant.

One hundred and ten pounds of bamboo shoots and twenty pounds of bracken, totaling 1,430 pounds.

Qiduo still followed the previous method, and quietly stuffed thirty Wen to He Guan.

Although he was very unkind to her at first, he might have to cooperate many times in the future, but he couldn't offend him.

No one has a hard time with money, so he accepted the copper plate with a smile, and looked at Qiduo more pleasing to the eye, quite a sensible child.

It's just that when Steward He was about to take Qiduo to the second floor to find Xu Youxuan again, a young man said that Xu Youxuan said hello and asked Qiduo to wait in the restaurant for a while, and he would go back as soon as he went.

Qiduo's eyes drooped slightly, wondering, did he go to ask for advice?

When he learned that Xu Youxuan might take an hour to come back, Qiduo decisively asked Tan Dejin to drive the ox cart and take himself and Liuju to the city for a walk.

Although she has been to the county several times, she has come in a hurry every time, and she has returned in a hurry, and she has never walked leisurely.

It's a woman's nature to love shopping, and so is Qiduo.

Liuju is the first time to come to the county, and he has long been attracted by the prosperity and liveliness of the city, and he is even more excited to sit on the ox cart at the moment.

But what she was most excited about was Qiduo's appearance when she was talking about business with Xu Youxuan.

This is the first time she has seen Qiduo to talk about business with people, and in the past, she only heard Tan Dejin describe that she was shocked by her own experience.

After making money, Qiduo had long wanted to buy something for the Xu family, and now he finally had a chance.

The father and daughter walked all the way down the street, and Qiduo bought a lot of things.

When passing by a wine shop, Tan Dejin stopped, looking at the jar of fine wine, his face was pale.

"Dad, what's wrong? If you want to buy wine, buy a jar. Qiduo asked.

Tan Dejin touched the back of his head and said with a sneer, "Duo, I'm ...... I want to buy a jar for your grandfather, and I've never bought him wine? ”

Qiduo rolled his eyes secretly, "Dad, do you think it's time to buy wine for grandpa, don't forget, we still owe Fenglintang two hundred taels of silver, where did you get the silver to buy wine for grandpa, didn't you see that the gadgets I bought for my mother and them were all gadgets, and they were put away closely, just to avoid people's eyes."

Besides, the eldest sister's family affairs haven't been dealt with yet, and I don't agree to buy wine for my lord now. ”

Liuju immediately agreed, "Dad, Duo is very reasonable, let's buy it for grandpa in a few days." ”

"Okay, Daddy listens to you." Tan Dejin thought that his daughters had a point, so he stopped insisting.

Seven and six oranges continued to walk forward with confidence.

As she walked, Liuju suddenly pulled down her arm and said in a low voice, "Duo, let's see if the person in front of you is Sister Da Mei?" ”

Qiduo was busy with his steps and looked in the direction of Liuju's finger.

I saw that across the street was an alley paved with bluestone slabs, and two young women were standing at the mouth of the alley, talking.

What should I say about happy things, both of them have smiles on their faces.

One of them, a woman with a woman's hair in a bun, was tall and tall, wearing a small thin jacket embroidered with rose-red silver patterns and a skirt embroidered with gold Luo of the same color.

The golden hairpin on her head shimmers dazzlingly in the sun, and she has the appearance of a noblewoman.

Looking at the past carefully, the woman's appearance is somewhat similar to Tan Deyin.

Qiduo searched carefully in his memory, and this woman was Tan Deyin's eldest daughter Tan Damei.

This is the first time I have seen her after Qiduo was reborn, in my previous memories, Tan Damei's in-laws had an average family background, and her husband Wang Honglei was just a fast catcher for the county government, and her monthly salary was not high.

Every time Tan Damei goes back to her parents' house, she dresses very ordinarily, and she has never seen her wear brocade clothes.

On the second day of the first lunar month of this year, she also went back to Tan's house with Wang Honglei to pay New Year's greetings.

Either the Wang family has always been rich, but they just deliberately pretended to be poor in front of the Tan family; Either the Wang family suddenly made a windfall and became rich overnight; Either Wang Honglei was promoted, had a gray income, and the conditions improved, Tan Damei began to wear gold and silver.

Tan Dejin, who followed behind Qiduo, also saw Tan Damei.

"That's not Damei, right? How could Da Mei wear such expensive clothes? Tan Dejin muttered to himself, with a deep puzzle on his face. (To be continued......)
