The dishes prepared today are very rich, with ten dishes, including meat and vegetarian, hot and cold. As Qingshu expected, the kelp silk bean sprout soup and boiled spiced bean sprouts (cold dish/pickles) really attracted two noble sons who had seen the world.

Qing Shu beckoned, and Xiaoyu took a small bowl specially prepared for soup, and each served a bowl of kelp soup for Bu Feihu and Zhou Boyan. Then for Qingshu and Qingyangsheng.

I saw that in the small bowl, there were a few small oil flowers floating on it, and in the clear soup, the extremely fine shredded meat, the extremely fine kelp shreds, and the soybeans soaked to the sprout were clearly visible. Xiao Yusheng is very skillful, she left the ginger and green onion in the soup pot and did not put it in the soup bowl. The ingredients of this bowl of soup are clear at a glance, and there is no strong aroma, so it is very simple. However, the faint and different flavor of the soup is still impossible to ignore.

Bu Feihu also runs several restaurants, although kelp is produced in the south, people in the north are not used to eating, but in his restaurant for freshness, in order to attract guests, at least some must be purchased every year, in order to prepare for the guests from the south to patronize, for them to cook a few hometown dishes. It is also very simple for people in the south to eat kelp, and it is also a stewed soup, but it is definitely not the soup in front of them. He recognized the kelp, but the soup, "What is this?" ”

Qing Shu replied with a light smile, "This is kelp bean sprout soup." The kelp was given by the son, and the bean sprouts were distributed by the government itself. How about tasting it? If the two sons think it's good, I will have more confidence to use it as a signature dish and open a food shop. ”

"Gourmet shops? Does it mean a restaurant? Zhou Boyan was not in a hurry to drink the soup, and asked unhurriedly.

"It's not a restaurant, it's a gourmet shop, a snack shop for the common people and the general class." Qing Shu explained with a smile.

Zhou Boyan didn't ask any more questions, and took a soup spoon and drank the soup like a flying bird. In order to facilitate the use of the soup spoon, Xu Sanniang deliberately cut the extremely fine kelp shreds short, so that the kelp shreds can be eaten with a soup spoon without the help of chopsticks.

The two of them took a sip of the soup and tasted it, and both felt that this taste was not found in the kelp soup made in their restaurant.

"Taste it, is it delicious? This is a new soup in our house. Qing Shu smiled and looked at Qingyang and said.

Qingyang drank the soup, ate the kelp shreds and bean sprouts, and squinted with a smile, "Sister, it's delicious, you can taste it too." ”

At this time, Bu Feihu and Zhou Boyan had already solved their own small bowls of soup.

Zhou Boyan said: "It's best to sell your soup in a restaurant, kelp has to be transported from the south, the price is not low, and it is not profitable for the common people." ”

"That's true." The pricing is too low and you lose money. The pricing is too high for civilians to afford. Only the restaurant is the most suitable place to live. ”

There was no urgency on Qing Shu's face, "What do you mean?" You can't be beating me up with this soup, are you? ”

"You specially invited me to dinner, and you specially served this soup, don't you want me to beat you up for this soup?" As soon as Zhou Boyan's words came out, although he was telling the truth, he could point out Qing Shu's careful thoughts so directly, which really made Qing Shu even more undesirable.

Qing Shu held back his anger, "Don't get me wrong, if it weren't for today's step boy's face, I wouldn't have any intention of taking out this soup." ”

Bu Feihu smelled the smell of gunpowder in the air, and hurriedly took the words, "If the girl can afford it, she might as well try it out in the Yipinlou of Jinyang City." "Yipinlou is his only property in the territory of Huizhou. Before he went out, his sister grabbed him and instructed him a basket of words, the content of which was nothing more than asking him to try his best to take care of Gu Qingshu. Besides, if this soup is launched, it will be another new dish in the restaurant, which can be regarded as a mutually beneficial thing. The kelp soup made by the chef in their restaurant is not used to eating in the north, but the soup in front of them can be accepted regardless of the north and south.

Yipinlou, the largest and best restaurant in Jinyang City. Qing Shu was happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he just humbly asked for advice, "Bu Gongzi, in your opinion, how can it be priced so that it doesn't lose money and makes a small profit?" ”

"It depends on how much the girl is worth in the kelp soup?" He is not sure of the identity of the soybean now, so naturally he can't set the price.

The soybeans have been purchased by people, and he is Bu Yuyan's brother, Qingshu naturally doesn't want to hide it, "I once wrote about trusting Yuyan to help buy a large number of beans, I think, Bu Gongzi should know." I haven't read Yu Yan's letter yet, and I don't know how many beans I received. ”

"8,250 catties of soybeans, 6,900 catties of red beans, and 3,500 catties of kidney beans. It was a total of eighteen thousand six hundred and fifty pounds of beans, and thirty-one taels of silver were spent. ”

Thirty-one taels of silver bought nearly 20,000 catties of beans, and Qing Shu suddenly showed joy, "The wages and carriage expenses of the guys who collect beans are plus." Of course, it's not to pay you guys, but to calculate how much money it should cost to get it, and to set the price accurately. ”

"Thirty-four taels of silver." The whole number of the step flying hoof.

Qing Shu stared at the soup pot, "The sprouts of kelp sprouts soup are soaked in soybeans. Then he raised his face and stared very seriously at Bu Feihu who showed a surprised look, "How is it?" Does Bu Gongzi still dare to sell it in Yipinlou? "Meaning, everyone thinks that soybeans that can only be fed to livestock are put on the table as dishes, do you dare?

Bu Feihu is not thinking about whether he dares to sell it, but about the profit that can be brought by collecting worthless beans and making delicious soups on the table. This small pot of soup is only enough to hold six to seven small bowls of soup, and when it comes to his first grade, it must be worth between one and a half taels of silver to two taels of silver. And counting materials and labor, the top sky will be two hanging money. Two hangs of money in exchange for one or a half of silver, or even two taels of silver, this profit......

Bu Feihu was a little moved, "The girl collects a lot of beans, it turns out that this is for this." ”

Qing Shu's face straightened, "Five-spice bean sprouts, side dishes, please try them." ”

Bu Feihu sandwiched a spiced bean, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, and then said, "The girl has a good dish." ”

"Red beans and flower kidney beans are troublesome to store for me after returning to Beijing, and they are properly placed. If there is a caravan along the way a year ago, please Bu Gongzi to bring me back to Jinyang City. The 8,250 catties of soybeans were sold to Bu Gongzi for four pounds. As for the method of soaking bean sprouts, two hundred taels of silver were sold to Bu Gongzi. To do you want or not to do it? "This deal, she was going to go to the capital in person before the end of the year to find a step five to discuss. Unexpectedly, Step Five came, which was convenient for her.

Businessmen, naturally, are shrewd. "The method of soaking bean sprouts, does the girl only sell me one, or does she have other plans?"

"Only sell you one. How you want to sell bean sprouts north of Huizhou has nothing to do with me. But you can't rob me of Huizhou's business, I'm going to do this bean sprouts business in Huizhou. ”

"Done. And this soup? ”

"Seaweed bean sprout soup, a recipe with spiced beans, fifty taels of silver for you. In the same way, even if I sell it to you, I will sell it myself. ”

Bu Wu happily agreed, and Qing Shu hurriedly asked people to prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, drew up a contract on the spot, and finalized the deal.

Step 5 wanted to pay Qingshu 283 taels, and Qingshu deducted the 34 taels of silver that Bu Wu paid in advance when buying beans, and received 249 taels of silver.

As soon as Qiē was ready, Qingshu turned around, but saw her Xiaoyang next to Zhou Boyan, and the two of them were happily eating hot and white fat bean paste buns. Isn't it a distance? It's only been a while, and she doesn't pay attention, why did these two get together again?

Xiaoyu was carrying the food basket in, only to see her put down the food basket, remove the wooden lid covering the food basket, and bring a hot plate of bean paste buns from the food basket and put it on the table. There were four bean paste buns on the previous plate, and they were shared by the two people at the table. This is the second set on it.

Seeing her sister come over, Qingyang grabbed the half-eaten bean paste bun in her hand, and smiled and bent her eyes, "Sister, it's delicious." ”

I wanted to give Zhou Boyan a white eye, but seeing his younger brother's satisfied eating and smiling happily, Qing Shu immediately took back the white eyes that had not been sent out, and said with a smile: "Since Xiaoyang loves to eat, my sister asked the kitchen to make it every other day, okay?" ”

"Okay." Qingyang reached out, grabbed a steaming bean paste bag and wanted to hand it to Qing Shu, but he couldn't catch it hot, and put it back on the plate with a hiss, "Sister, this is hot, I'll give it to you to eat when it's cold." ”

Qingshu said hello, and hurriedly beckoned Xiaojuan to hand over a wet cloth towel to Bu Feihu to wipe his hands, and then asked Bu Feihu to also try the bean paste bag.

Zhou Boyan was not afraid of hot hands at this time, and was taking a steaming bean paste bag to eat.

Bu Feihu returned to his seat and raised his eyebrows, not understanding when Zhou Boyan was so greedy for steamed buns. But soon, he found that the steamed bun in Zhou Boyan's hand took a bite and the filling wrapped in it came out, which was still dark red, and he was slightly surprised.

Zhou Boyan didn't pay attention to the attention gift given to him by Bu Feihu, quickly ate the one in his hand, and took another one.

The bean paste buns are so popular, Qingshu is naturally happy, but can Zhou Boyan not eat so many bean paste buns with the elegance of her son? Qingshu decided not to look at him, so he smiled at Bu Feihu, "Bu Gongzi, please try it, this is called a bean paste bun, it tastes good, but it's a little sweet, I don't know if Gongzi likes it or not?" ”

Zhou Boyan likes to eat, Bu Feihu naturally believes in its taste, so he doesn't use chopsticks, learns from Qingyang and Zhou Boyan, grabs it directly with his hand, takes a bean paste bag and takes a bite curiously. The white flour is made into the skin, which is very thin and soft, and when you bite into it, you can eat the filling inside, which is slightly sweet, and it feels a little rustling in your mouth. He quickly took another bite and looked at the filling curiously, "This is ......"

Qing Shu also did not hide, "Beans." "What beans, she doesn't need to explain anymore, since there were soybeans before, you can guess this by looking at the color, isn't it?

Bu Feihu looked shocked, "Red beans? "Everyone takes beans seriously, mixing them with grass to feed cattle and horses, who knows, it turns out that beans can make food with a different taste. Soybeans and red beans are available for food, so "The girl buys kidney beans to make food?" ”

"Yes, it can also be used as a filling for red bean paste buns, but the taste is a little worse than that of red beans. Of course, these two beans can also be used together as fillings, and they are equally delicious. ”

Bu Wu immediately regretted that the red beans and kidney beans were harvested less, far less than the number of soybeans. It's just that everyone else feeds the animals with beans, why is Gu Qingshu the only one who discovered it and made this soup and this bean paste bun. He heard from his sister that this Gu Qingshu has a unique hobby, that is, he likes to collect agricultural books and miscellaneous books, and from time to time he runs to the kitchen, takes an unknown book, and directs the cook to use ingredients to do this and that, and sometimes the combination of ingredients can make the cook stunned.

And the things that are tried to be made, sometimes they can be done, and Gu Qingshu will be happy for a long time; Sometimes it is really difficult to eat, and Gu Qingshu is very discouraged. In short, listening to his sister, Gu Qingshu is a person who can toss the cook and ingredients, likes to run and jump very energetically, and once hoped to learn his sister's whipping method. And those styles of boudoir women such as fluttering butterflies, playing kites, and composing poems and paintings in the sad spring and autumn are insulated from Gu Qingshu. Of course, the last one was summed up by his sister Tongguò's description of Gu Qingshu's temperament.

"Girl, do you want to sell the bean paste buns?" Bu Feihu is a qualified businessman and is very principled.

"Not for sale. However, Qingshu asked Bu Gongzi, if Bu Gongzi promised to help, the practice of bean paste buns was given to Gongzi as a thank you gift. ”

"Girl, please."

"Please Bu Gongzi continue to help Gufu buy red beans and kidney beans, the more the better, it is best that they will never be seen on the market again." Before the autumn harvest next year, she wants to monopolize most of the bean market in the Da'an Dynasty and make a good profit. Soybeans for cooking and red beans for stuffing don't have much technical content, people just didn't know how to eat like this before, but when they know it, everyone will make it themselves, and she has no chance to make a lot of money.

Therefore, she wants to monopolize most of Da'an's bean bean market in time, and use the large period of time before the new beans come down in the autumn of the next year to make good use of the beans in her hand to save money. She herself does not have the ability to monopolize the bean market, and she does not have so many available people, so she has long set her eyes on Bu Wu, who is known as the first genius in Da'an but is a businessman.

With her relationship with Bu Yuyan, and the fact that it is indeed profitable, she is sure that Bu Wu will not refuse her. In order to show her sincerity, she didn't hide anything, and directly spread it out on the raised surface to show Buwu. She also said, "I only need half of the red beans and kidney beans that Childe collected, and the remaining half will be reserved for Childe." I will pay half of what I have received at the price that my son has received. The practice of bean paste buns is a thank you gift for Gongzi to help Gufu. ”

Bu Feihu, "Doesn't the girl collect soybeans?" ”

Qing Shu said honestly, "I don't have that much appetite, I can't eat." I can eat half of Huizhou's soybeans to the limit. Naturally, the beans needed in the Yipinlou of Gongzi Jinyang City can be bought from me, otherwise I won't do it, and I will definitely write to tell you that you are bullying her good sister. ”

It's called a threat, and Bu Feihu chuckled.

At this meal, Qing Shu and Bu Feihu only talked about business and did not eat well, and Qing Shu apologized and ordered the kitchen to cook a bowl of shredded meat noodles for Bu Feihu. In the end, I asked Bu Wu, and after returning to Beijing, I helped Xiang Xiang buy a small shop pù and put it in Bu Yuyan's name. It means that in the future, let Yu Yan cover this small shop for her. If you ask Qingshu what to do when he buys a small shop? Of course, it is to prepare for opening a shop specializing in bean paste buns in the capital.

If you want to say who eats the best and most comfortable meal, it must be Zhou Boyan and Qingyang.

When Bu Feihu and Zhou Boyan proposed to say goodbye, Qing Shu didn't allow time to talk to Zhou Boyan about the pearl, and wanted to leave Zhou Boyan alone to talk, but he felt that it was inappropriate, and he would give in to Feihu and felt that he was favoritism, so he could only give up. Besides, listening to their meaning, they would stay in Kangxi Town for two days, so Qing Shu put down the eagerness in his heart and decided to find time to talk to Zhou Boyan again.

Out of the ancient mansion, Zhou Boyan and Bu Feihu did not ride horses, and the two of them slowly walked all the way to the direction of Shiji Inn. Their attendants, taking their horses, followed them not near or far.

Thinking of something, Bu Feihu chuckled lightly, and the smile in his eyes became a little stronger, "Brother Zhou has a holiday with the ancient girl?" The ancient girl's gaze at Brother Zhou was not friendly. ”

Zhou Boyan smiled and thought for a while, "I remember that when Ling Mei was five years old, she liked to stick to one of your cousins, which made Xiao Qi very unhappy, and she found an opportunity to beat someone up." ”

Bu Feihu quickly remembered, "There is such a thing. Since he was a child, the seventh brother has been very fond of the eighth sister, and even our brothers have been hugging the eighth sister for a long time, he is not happy, he will be jealous, hehe......"

"A brother can love his sister to such an extent, and it's not surprising that a sister loves his younger brother." Zhou Boyan thought that Qing Shu's stinky face was caused by her precious brother's liking to stick to him, and he thought it was quite funny.

Bu Feihu immediately realized, "So that's what happened. However, his seventh brother was still very young at that time, and this Gu Qingshu was not small, so he always felt a little funny. After thinking about it again, the brothers below them seemed to have done such funny things before they were eleven or twelve years old. Suddenly a little nostalgic, my sister is pink and cute as a toddler, and my sister is soft, vaguely shouting her brother. In the blink of an eye, my sister is thirteen years old, and in a few years, she will marry into another family and fly out of the wings of their elder brothers.

Zhou Boyan saw that Bu Feihu's expression became very soft, and then turned to loss, and raised his eyebrows, "What do you think?" Still thinking about that woman? ”

Bu Feihu was stunned, and his eyes overflowed with gloom, "Don't mention her again, in her ...... My fate with her has long been over, and she cut it off with her own hands. It's okay, it's all over. ”

Zhou Boyan sighed and didn't say anything comforting. He felt that this year's Bu Feihu must have committed Tai Sui, otherwise he would not have formed a bad relationship that would only make people sad, and at the same time, he was unlucky enough to be calculated and reluctantly bowed his head to marry Li Haitang. Later, although General Buda came forward and left Li Haitang Hugh out of Bufu, it seemed that everything had passed. But the wound in Bu Feihu's heart doesn't know when it will heal. He doesn't understand love, but he has witnessed the appearance of people around him being hurt by love one after another, and he feels palpitations, and has been cautiously staying away from women, for fear that he will follow in the footsteps of the people around him
