Chapter 18: Waiting

The shopkeeper of Tianxianglou is surnamed Zhang, and everyone is called Zhang, who is a cold-faced and hot-hearted person.

On weekdays, there is no less help to the villagers, as long as there is wild meat, it will be sent to Tianxianglou at any time, and the shopkeeper will give a reasonable price, and then accept it.

Therefore, the reputation of Tianxianglou is also played out in this way, and it is said that Tianxianglou is good, and naturally business is better.

Zhao Canniang was still a little nervous in her heart, after all, she had used improper means to trick the shopkeeper Zhang out, so her hand carrying the basket was also a little trembling.

The door opened, and a middle-aged man in his forties appeared in front of Zhao Canniang, the man looked relatively gentle, and he knew that he was a kind lord at a glance, the man was wearing a blue brocade robe, and the cuffs and placket were embroidered with auspicious entwined branch patterns.

The old man who opened the door earlier stood behind the middle-aged man and said in a low voice: "The shopkeeper is this little girl, who said that she is a distant relative of yours." ”

The shopkeeper's face was a little confused, but he still said to the old man, "Uncle Wu, you go down first, just leave it to me here." ”

The old man Uncle Wu listened to the shopkeeper's words and retired directly.

Now there are only two left, Zhao Canniang and Shopkeeper Zhang at the door.

Shopkeeper Zhang's eyes were like torches, and he looked at Zhao Canniang with inquiring eyes, and he already knew in his heart that what Zhao Canniang said to Uncle Wu just now was panicked, and the purpose was to deceive him, but Shopkeeper Zhang was not angry, but felt that Zhao Canniang's courage was commendable.

Some people's thoughts are very strange, it is precisely because of this strange thought, so that the future shopkeeper benefited a lot, many years later, the shopkeeper Zhang still sighed, maybe people pay attention to that eye.

Looking at the villain standing at the door, dressed in tattered clothes, the patches on it are heavy one by one, it looks like the clothes are very neat, the villain's hair is tied with strips of cloth in two children's buns, the only thing that makes the shopkeeper feel surprised is the villain's eyes, under his sharp eyes, they are all unhurried looking back, both hands are holding the back basket hard, what is in the back basket can not be seen, because it is covered by a white cloth.

"Why did you lie to me?" The shopkeeper's voice was flat, and he couldn't hear the joy and anger.

Zhao Canniang stabilized her heart a little flustered, knowing that the first sentence she said was very important, and replied in a crisp voice, "If I don't use this method, the shopkeeper will definitely not come out to see me, I know that this is a bit abrupt, and I am sorry to say sorry to the shopkeeper here, I am really helpless." ”

Shopkeeper Zhang gradually smiled on his face when he heard this, and he never thought about dealing with a yellow-haired little girl, and seeing Zhao Canniang's sincere apology, he accepted it calmly in his heart.

"Say, find me something, you know I'm busy." The business of Tianxianglou is already very good, and now it is almost time to eat, so it is naturally busy when there are more customers.

Zhao Canniang also knew that her time was limited, so she put the basket in her hand on the ground, and then uncovered the white cloth on it, and the konjac in the wooden basin appeared in front of the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, this is the reason why I lied to you." Zhao Canniang's face was serious, and her eyes looked at the shopkeeper Zhang with expectation.

Shopkeeper Zhang frowned, bent down, stretched out his hand and gently pressed the konjac in the basin, and asked with some confusion, "Little girl, what is this?" ”

Zhao Canniang smiled slightly, and said in a steady voice, "This is called konjac, and it is made with ancestral secret recipes, because it is ancestral and only eaten at home in the past, but now if it weren't for the difficulties encountered at home, I would be reluctant to take out this konjac and sell it." ”

"Listen to you say this, this can be eaten? Little girl, can you tell me what this is made of? "Shopkeeper Zhang is the shopkeeper of Tianxianglou, he has been the shopkeeper of Tianxianglou for decades, he has never seen any strange ingredients, and this konjac in front of him is something he has never seen before, and he can't help but be a little curious.

Zhao Canniang felt that it was better for her to introduce herself, and when she heard the answer of the shopkeeper, she said, "The shopkeeper can call me Canniang, the thing that makes konjac is a rhizome dug up from the mountain, because it is an ancestral secret recipe, the shopkeeper is really embarrassed, I can't tell you now, but what I can guarantee is that the dishes made by this konjac are absolutely delicious." ”

Shopkeeper Zhang has become interested in konjac in his heart, after all, people are born to like to explore, and they are naturally curious about unknown things.

It's just obvious right now that this Canniang wants to sell konjac to him, and as a person who buys things, he naturally has to pick and choose.

Shopkeeper Zhang made up his mind in his heart, so he asked, "You said this konjac is delicious, I haven't eaten it, and this is a new thing, if I buy it and test it, it's not delicious, isn't it a loss?" ”

Zhao Canniang's eyes lit up, knowing that there was a play in this matter, she smiled slightly, and said to the shopkeeper, "Don't worry about the shopkeeper, I naturally know that this is a new thing, even if the shopkeeper buys it, I don't know how to eat this, so as long as the shopkeeper doesn't mind, I am willing to make a dish or two for the shopkeeper myself, I don't know if the shopkeeper has the courage to try it." ”

Zhao Canniang felt that she was shameless, and she actually used all the methods, Shopkeeper Zhang shook his head slightly when he heard this, Zhao Canniang's heart was cold when she saw this, and she thought that Shopkeeper Zhang was unwilling to give it a try.

"Why doesn't the shopkeeper want to give it a try?" Zhao Canniang asked with some concern.

Shopkeeper Zhang shook his head again and said to Zhao Canniang, "You have challenged me, how can I not fight, but now is the time to eat, and the kitchen is busy, so it must not work now, otherwise you will come in first and wait for a while, and when the kitchen is not busy, you will make the dishes you said." ”

When Zhao Canniang heard this, she suddenly forgot her worries just now, and almost didn't jump up.

"Thank you, shopkeeper, I won't let you down." Zhao Canniang's face was excited.

Shopkeeper Zhang understood in his heart, stretched out his head, and suddenly saw Zhao Qingfeng standing in the corner of the wall looking at the door seriously, "That's your brother, call him in and wait together, the kitchen backyard is big, you two just sit and wait for half an hour." ”

Zhao Canniang's face was full of smiles, this matter was half successful now, and Zhao Canniang's heart was extremely excited.

"Thank you, shopkeeper." Zhao Canniang's argument of thanks.

Shopkeeper Zhang smiled gently, "You call your brother to come in and wait, I still have something to do in front of me, and I will come to you when I am busy." Saying that, Shopkeeper Zhang turned around, Shopkeeper Zhang walked a few steps and called Uncle Wu, the old man who had just opened the door, and said a few words, and then went directly to the front hall.

Zhao Qingfeng really didn't expect Zhao Canniang to succeed like this, and things went even more smoothly than he imagined, originally he had no hope for this matter, but now is this considered another village?

Zhao Canniang looked back at Zhao Qingfeng, who was already approaching, and said with a smile, "How about brother, this thing can be done, let's go in first and wait for a while." ”

Zhao Qingfeng frowned, looked at Zhao Canniang, and asked, "Didn't the shopkeeper promise to buy it?" Why wait? ”

"This is konjac, it is a new thing for the shopkeeper Zhang, and they don't know how to eat this, I naturally want to explain it to them, you can rest assured that I have said that this is an ancestral secret recipe, if I wait for the dishes I make, I will also be passed down from the ancestors, brother rest assured that I will not let others doubt it." Zhao Canniang's last few words were said very carefully, and her voice was so low that only the two of them could hear it.

Zhao Qingfeng sighed helplessly: "Okay, let's go in and wait." "Things have come to this point, where is the reason why he doesn't support it.

Zhao Qingfeng followed Zhao Canniang into the courtyard, and Zhao Qingfeng closed the door, and the old man Wu Bo walked in front of the two, and saw that Zhao Canniang's expression was also a lot gentler, "Little girl, come with me, our shopkeeper has not had distant relatives come to him for many years, just now the shopkeeper has told me, tell me to greet you two well, he is a little busy now, and he will come over when he is busy." ”

When Zhao Canniang heard this, she was a little grateful to the shopkeeper Zhang, but she didn't expect that the shopkeeper didn't expose her lies in front of Uncle Wu.

It seems that this shopkeeper is really good.

Zhao Canniang followed Uncle Wu to the corner of the courtyard, where there were a few small stools, "You sit here for a while, I'm going over there to help, now the kitchen is busy, I have to help." ”

Zhao Canniang nodded, and said gratefully, "I'm tired of the old man." ”

The people in the kitchen were very busy, everyone just glanced at Zhao Canniang and Zhao Qingfeng curiously for a moment or two, and then went their separate ways.

Sitting on the stool, Zhao Canniang was very calm.

"Sister, didn't you just make this konjac yesterday! How do you know how to eat this, and what if it doesn't taste good when it's cooked? Zhao Qingfeng's heart was full of worry, and he really didn't know why he let Zhao Canniang mess around.

Zhao Canniang glanced at Zhao Qingfeng mysteriously, and then said in a low voice, "Brother is really forgetful, have you forgotten what I said to you and my mother at home, I have something more in my head, rest assured that I am sure of this, you can just watch it later." ”

After Zhao Canniang finished speaking, she stopped talking, but sat boredly looking at the busy people in the kitchen over there.

The kitchen of Tianxianglou is not much different from the system in the kitchen of the modern hotel, the side dishes are only in charge of the side dishes, the chef is only in charge of stir-frying, and there are the guys in the kitchen who are busy in the kitchen, and there are also the shopkeepers who come in to serve the dishes.

There is no wall on the side of the kitchen facing the courtyard, only one door after another, and Zhao Canniang has been looking over there for nearly half an hour.

Gradually, everyone in the kitchen had a chance to breathe, and the old man Uncle Wu actually brought two big bowls of food.

"You two children are hungry, come and eat first, I can't take care of you just now." Uncle Wu spoke very politely.
