Chapter 94: Hatred?
"What's wrong?" Qiduo felt their scrutinizing eyes, hurriedly raised his eyes, and asked suspiciously.
"Little Seventh Brother, are you literate?" Xu Youxuan asked in surprise.
"A few of them." Seven modest responses.
There was a flash of brilliance in Wen Xiuyi's bright starry eyes.
After Xu Youxuan received Qiduo's affirmative reply, he was relieved, thinking that it should not be surprising that she could read and write.
"Are you willing to sell all these recipes?" Xu Youxuan asked.
That's a very skillful question.
He originally wanted to ask if all seven of these flowers could do it, but if he asked directly, it would be a bit rude to doubt her ability.
Saying it like this now, if Qiduo doesn't know a certain dish, she will say it herself, and it won't make the atmosphere too embarrassing.
"Yes." Qiduo nodded.
There was a confident look on his face.
"Okay." Xu Youxuan nodded, and at the same time secretly rejoiced that these dishes would be made by all seven flowers.
But he quickly said, "Little Seventh Brother, I won't tell you, I'm not familiar with Shu cuisine, and I don't know if their taste is authentic. In order not to make the guests laugh, I specially invited Xiu Yi to come over, and after the little seven brothers made ten dishes, they needed to invite Xiu Yi to taste.
Let's talk about it in the front, if the dish can pass the Xiuyi level, our deal will be completed. If not, we will have to work together again next time. ”
Qiduo glanced at Wen Xiuyi, and said that Xu Youxuan suddenly had an understanding of Shu cuisine, it turned out to be because of Wen Xiuyi.
Listening to Wen Xiuyi's accent, it seems that he is not from Tonglin County, could it be that he is from Shudi?
Or he has been to Shu and is very familiar with Shu cuisine. Otherwise. He won't take on that either.
Xu Youxuan's request is not excessive. Spend a few hundred taels of silver to buy recipes, you must not be sloppy, if the dishes made by then taste strange and not authentic, but you will smash the signboard of the Spring Breeze Proud Building.
"Cheng, Xu Shaodong, your request is not excessive, it should be so. However, we still have something to say earlier. That is, if you are lucky enough to pass the level of Wen Gongzi, then the price will be as I said, and there will be no more bargaining.
Of course, Xu Shaodong, you and Wen Gongzi are friends, and Wen Gongzi is my younger brother's life-saving benefactor, and I will give two more recipes for free at that time. Qiduo Zhengse said.
The brothers settle the accounts, eat and drink without care, and the business is not a cent.
Even if Wen Xiuyi is kind to his family, Xu Youxuan and him are friends, but things in the business field have to be what they should be. The principle must not be violated.
Xu Youxuan pondered for a moment and nodded briskly. "Cheng, just do what you said, little seventh brother, and ask the brother to teach him at that time, don't keep it."
"Xu Shaodong, please rest assured, doing business is to treat each other with sincerity and not to deceive others. Besides, there are Wen Gongzi experts here, I just want to steal a little lazy. Qiduo said solemnly in the first half of the sentence, and the second half of the sentence was half-joking.
She didn't expect the profiteer to be so happy this time, which was better than Han and Lin.
Han and Lin are cautious in doing things, but they are not refreshing enough and like to beat around the bush.
Xu Youxuan and Qiduo agreed on some details, and then asked Steward He to write the contract, and the two parties signed it, and Wen Xiuyi, as a Chinese, also signed.
When signing, Qiduo asked Tan Dejin to sign, but he asked Qiduo to sign her name.
Qiduo had no choice but to write her name, Xu Youxuan looked at her name and looked at her a little strangely, "Tan Qiduo, little seventh brother, how does your name look like a girl's name." ”
"Hehe, daddy likes girls." Qiduo smiled innocently.
Xu Youxuan glanced at her again, smiled and nodded, but there was doubt in his eyes.
Today's hour is not early, Qiduo is still in a hurry to go back, and Xu Youxuan agreed to come over early the next morning, hand in the homework first, and then Wen Xiuyi corrects it, after passing the qualification, Xu Youxuan paid five hundred taels of silver to Qiduo.
Next, Qiduo not only has to write out the complete recipes and hand them over to Xu Youxuan, but also needs to teach a chef in Chunfeng Proud Building by hand, so that he can master the skills and methods of making these dishes.
After the chef had fully learned, Xu Youxuan would pay the remaining three hundred taels of silver.
This is not just selling recipes, but teaching classes, and teaching and packing, if you meet a stupid student, this day will be a little difficult.
Alas, it's not easy to make some money.
Seven flowers were very emotional.
Fortunately, the tuition fee is not cheap, otherwise, Qiduo would not be willing to accept these additional conditions proposed by Xu Youxuan.
When Qiduo, father and daughter returned to Tanjiazhuang, it was already Shen time, and the sun began to set in the west.
The father and daughter stepped into the Tan family's compound, and a smile was quietly flowing from the corners of their eyes.
This smile comes from the heart inadvertently.
They don't know it themselves.
When passing by the door of the upper room, Zhao's cold voice came from inside, "Boss, come in." ”
Seven and six oranges looked at Tan Dejin at the same time.
Tan Dejin's eyebrows subconsciously squeezed, and said to the Qiduo sisters, "You go back first, your mother must be in a hurry at home." ”
"I'll go in with you." Qiduo pointed to the upper room.
Tan Dejin shook his head, "No, go back quickly." Then he turned and walked towards the upper room.
Qiduo thought that everything was on him, but he didn't worry about anything, so he went back with Liuju first.
Xu and Er Xia were in a hurry, thinking about how they had gone for so long to come back, and thought that something had happened to them.
Seeing them come back safe and sound, a heart that was carrying it was finally put down.
"Why are you only back now, are you in trouble?" Xu asked a little uneasily.
"Hehe, mother, we're in trouble." Qiduo Meimei drank a few sips of warm water and said with a smile in her eyes.
Then in Xu's worried eyes, Qiduo continued with a smile, "But it's a good thing. ”
Then I talked about selling recipes.
However, she was paying attention to Xu's and wanted to see how Xu's expression changed after hearing the spring breeze triumphant.
Sure enough, when he heard that Qiduo was going to sell the recipe to Chunfeng Proud Building, Xu's face turned cold, and his expression of joy disappeared at all.
"Mother, what's wrong with you? Why not be happy? Qiduo asked deliberately.
Liuju also looked at Xu incomprehensibly, not understanding why she was unhappy about this great good thing.
Xu sighed lightly. Took Qiduo's hand. Seriously. "Duo, can we not deal with the Spring Breeze Proud Building?" ”
"For what?" Qiduo asked.
"It's not for anything, it's a little bit of a mother's request." Xu shook his head, not wanting to tell the truth.
"Mother, I'm not a child anymore, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. Has the shopkeeper of the Spring Breeze Proud Building ever offended you? Or maybe you have some kind of hatred with them? Qiduo also shook his head and asked the doubts in his heart.
Xu's beautiful eyes drooped lightly and shook his head slowly. "Nope."
"Mother, since you have no grievances with them, then why don't you let me do business with them, this ...... This baffles me. Qiduo was also a little displeased.
What's going on with these adults, if they don't have something to say, they have to hold it in their hearts and let people guess, it's really tiring and panicked.
If the Xu family really has a grudge against the spring breeze proudly, this business will not be done.
But I can't give a reason, I want to give up this easy-won business. Can't do it!
"Duo, mother......" Xu also felt that his request was a little unacceptable. She really didn't know how to persuade Qiduo to listen to her.
If she uses her mother's identity to suppress Qiduo, she is unwilling.
Qiduo works hard every day to think of ideas to make money for this family, and she can't do it.
But when she thought of cooperating with Chunfeng Proud Building, she felt very sorry in her heart, like a stone pressing on her heart, making her breathless.
Qiduo shook Xu's hand and said seriously, "Mother, I know that you are not an unreasonable person, and you naturally have a hard time saying this." If you really have a great hatred with them, I can stop doing this business, but please say it. If there is no hatred, I will continue this business.
And now I am relying on my own ability to earn their money, I am doing business with them, not being friends with them, you don't think too much. ”
Liuju also persuaded, "Yes, mother, we are doing business with them seriously, and we don't steal or rob, so we can't do anything." ”
Qiduo said again, "Mother, I promise you, after this business is completed, I will try to deal with them as little as possible in the future." ”
After some ideological struggle, Xu said, "Duo, then you have to promise your mother, don't tell the people in the Spring Breeze Proud Building that I and your father's names, not to mention where you live, can it be successful?" ”
Is this afraid that the enemy will seek revenge?
Qiduo was startled and hurriedly asked, "Mother, do you really have an enmity with them?" ”
If Xu Youxuan's family is really the enemy of the Xu family, she will definitely find a way to avenge the Xu family.
"Duo, I really have no enmity with them, don't ask about the rest, just do what my mother says." Xu said seriously.
There was a faint tiredness between his expressions.
Seeing this, Qiduo nodded, "Mother, don't worry, of course I can do this, I won't tell strangers your and your father's names for no reason." ”
When Xu got up and was about to enter the inner room, Tan Dejin pushed the door and went home.
"Dad, what is Grandma looking for you?" Qiduo squinted at him and asked.
"Nothing." Tan Dejin replied with a sneering face.
"Really?" Seven flowers don't believe it.
"Hmm." Tan Dekin nodded.
Qiduo saw that his father didn't want to say anything, so he gave up.
"Dad, where are the sauce shop and Luhuapo, you can take me to see it." Seven flowers got up.
Tan Dejin didn't answer Qiduo, but looked at Xu, scratched the back of his head, and said, "Mingxiu, you...... You give me twenty cents. ”
"What do you want money for?" Xu was puzzled.
"That ......," Tan Dejin stopped talking.
"Dad, grandma asked for it." Qiduo raised his eyebrows and said, not a question, but an affirmation.
Tan Dejin nodded a little weakly.
"What is Grandma's reason for asking for money, let me guess, it should be that we used an ox cart, and she has to charge for it." Qiduo continued.
Xu looked at Tan Dejin, and there was anger in his eyes.
Tan Dejin brushed his face aside and said in a low voice, "Duo, your grandmother doesn't have to charge, it's just that we used the ox cart for a day today, and your grandfather didn't have a car when they went out, so they spent money to take someone else's car to go." ”
These are just excuses, it's just that Zhao's Zhilu Dao family earned a hundred wen by selling firewood, and his eyes were very red.
"Dad, for grandma, let's buy a cow for ourselves tomorrow." Qiduo calmly took out twenty coins from his sleeve cage and handed it to Tan Dejin.
Qiduo was not surprised by Zhao's move, and didn't want to entangle with her over this trivial matter.
Tan Dejin took the copper plate with a hot face.
Xu sneered, threw the curtain and entered the inner room.
Qiduo shook his head and said to Tan Dejin, "Dad, take me to the sauce shop and Luhuapo." ”
Tan Dejin sighed lightly and said, "Duo, Luhuapo is some way away from our house, there is nothing to see in these two places, what is good is the ancestral property, and what is bad is useless." ”
"It's okay, you have to take a look." Seven insistence.
Seeing this, Tan Dejin had to nod in agreement.
The sauce shop is not far away, just in Tanjiazhuang. (To be continued......)
