Shen Qingqing sends glutinous rice balls to Master Liu's mansion every day, and the income from this alone is already very considerable, and she is also content.

Shen Qingqing went to the mansion to deliver glutinous rice balls as usual, and as soon as he left with his front foot, the man with a big belly on his back foot, wearing yellow cloud satin, and holding a fan in his hand, walked into Master Liu's mansion.

Seeing Master Liu put a crystal clear ball in his mouth that he had never seen before, he couldn't help but be curious: "Brother Liu, what are you eating?" ”

Master Liu seemed to be introducing a baby, holding his stomach: "This is glutinous rice balls, do you see that I have lost a lot of weight recently?" ”

The man was surprised by this, and nodded quickly when he heard this: "When I saw you today, I saw that you had lost a lot of weight, is there any secret recipe?" ”

He said and touched his mustache, looking extremely shrewd.

"Don't talk about this yet, you try this glutinous rice ball." When Master Liu saw his friend coming, he couldn't help but show off his baby.

The man pinched a glutinous rice ball and put it in his mouth, and after eating it, he nodded again and again: "This is good, sweet but not greasy, with a fragrance in the middle, and it looks good." ”

"And you can lose weight." Master Liu smiled and ate another one. "It's really not easy for you, the owner of a restaurant, to fall in love with this thing."

As Master Liu said, this man's name is Zhen Qian, he opened a restaurant in the town, the specifications are not small, Zhen Qian Zhen Qian, there is only money in his eyes, and when he sees this glutinous rice dumpling, he has a different idea.

The sun went up three times, and the day slowly became shorter, and even at noon, the sun was not hot, and the wheat in the field was ripe for thimbles, and there was still half a month before the harvest.

This autumn is coming, it is the busy season of farming, every family is busy, and Anning Village is as lively as boiling water.

Shen Qingqing didn't have a field, but he could sleep lazily.

When Shen Qingqing woke up, it was already noon, Xiaodouding was lying in the courtyard practicing calligraphy, Shen Qingqing stretched his waist: "Haohao, good morning." ”

Xiao Douding just glanced at her, quite like a little adult: "What early?" It's noon now. ”

Shen Qingqing smiled awkwardly: "I'll cook something for you." ”

The morning meal does not need to be too much, but it must be nutritious, Shen Qingqing steamed the sweet potatoes and made them into sweet potato puree, then put them in the rice porridge, and cooked them over high heat to eat.

When she was busy working, Xiao Douding had already run into the kitchen, Shen Qingqing thought she was urging the meal, and said, "Haohao, don't worry, the meal will be ready soon." ”

"No, it's not." Little Beanding raised his chin. "Mother, someone is looking for you outside."

"Someone looking for it?" Shen Qingqing saw two people standing in the courtyard through the window, although the style of clothes they wore was uniform, but they didn't look like people in Old Man Liu's mansion.

Shen Qingqing was suspicious, wiped his hands and walked into the courtyard: "Both, but what's the matter?" ”

The two people glanced at each other, and their tone was very polite: "Are you Shen Qingqing?" ”

"Yes." She couldn't help but be on guard.

The two of them smiled: "Don't get me wrong, we are from Shilixiang Restaurant, and our boss has taken a fancy to your glutinous rice balls and wants to invite you to the restaurant to discuss some things." ”

Shen Qingqing has also heard of this ten-mile fragrant restaurant, which is one of the best restaurants in the town, how could he find her?

Whether it is Hades or a little ghost will know for a while, Shen Qingqing is not timid, after making breakfast and taking care of Xiao Douding to eat, he followed the two guys to the town with a few words.

This Shilixiang restaurant is in the center of the town, two carvings of flying dragons at the door, the plaque is carved with watermarks, the five-storey building is full of lanterns, the style is very, and it once became the coordinates of the town when the business was at its most prosperous.

When they arrived, it was noon, when there were the most guests, and when Shen Qingqing passed by the dinner table, he saw that the dishes and snacks were all exquisite.

The guy led her to a box on the fourth floor and left, and there was a plump and muscular man sitting in the box, this is not Zhen Qian.

Shen Qingqing had heard of him: "Boss Zhen, forgive me." ”

Zhen Qian was secretly shocked when he saw Shen Qingqing, he didn't expect a village woman to be generous in everything, and she was not timid when she came to such a realm, and couldn't help but take a look at it: "You are Shen Qingqing, who makes glutinous rice dumplings?" Come and sit. ”

Shen Qingqing was also not polite, and sat directly opposite Zhen Qian.

Zhen Qian poured her a cup of tea, and then spoke: "I'll get straight to the point, I thought your glutinous rice dumplings were very delicious after tasting them from Master Liu, and I was very interested in this glutinous rice dumplings, I don't know if Qingqing girl can sell me the secret recipe?" ”

Zhen Qian is shrewd like a monkey, and after returning from Master Liu's house, he asked the chef in the restaurant to do it, but he couldn't make this kind of taste, so he couldn't find Shen Qingqing.

Shen Qingqing thought about it a little and understood, this glutinous rice dumpling is her specialty, now she is the only one who will be the only one, and she can earn more than two silver, but once she sells the secret recipe, is it not to cut off her own wealth?

Zhen Qian felt that Shen Qingqing couldn't think of such a deep level, and thought that the silver taels opened were not enough: "Sister, don't worry, as long as you sell this secret recipe to items, I will not lose your money." ”

"Boss Zhen." Shen Qingqing took a sip of tea. "I see that you are also a real person, so I won't go around in circles here, and I don't plan to sell the secret recipe for this glutinous rice dumpling."

"Is the price not high enough?" Zhen Qian is still confident. "Fifty taels, is it enough?"

These fifty taels are already sky-high in the eyes of rural people.

Shen Qingqing shook his head with a smile, and was about to stand up: "I'm not joking, it's really not for sale." ”

Zhen Qian panicked in his heart, he was a businessman, and he knew everything about the doorway in the business field, but Shen Qingqing was so resolute that it didn't seem like a lie, so he could only retreat to the second: "Sister, I really like your glutinous rice dumplings, otherwise let's cooperate." ”

"Cooperation?" Shen Qingqing was very interested in this suggestion. "What kind of cooperation is it?"

Zhen Qian looked at Shen Qingqing and relaxed, and smiled and revealed two gold teeth: "Just follow the method you gave to Master Liu, send glutinous rice dumplings to our restaurant every day, one pound and one penny of silver." ”

Shen Qingqing began to think in his heart, if this single is sold, it costs three dollars a glutinous rice dumpling, and this glutinous rice dumpling is small, thirty pounds, so it is much higher than the market price.

Because it is a long-term stable business, Shen Qingqing does not ink: "Yes, but I have to sign a contract." ”

"It's nature, it's nature." Although Zhen Qian is shrewd, he is also a serious businessman, so he immediately asked the guy to draft the contract, and it was written after a while.

Shen Qingqing read the contract several times and made sure that there was no mistake before signing it.

In the end, the two clinked their glasses: "Happy cooperation and prosperous business." ”

When Shen Qingqing walked out of the Shilixiang Tavern, the whole person was refreshed, different from the previous petty fights, with the orders of Master Liu and Zhen Qian, this can be regarded as a serious businessman.

Before, because of the lack of glutinous rice needed, Aunt Wang used it through the stone mill, which was inconvenient and loved to attract criticism, but now Shen Qingqing had confidence in his heart, and went out directly to the mill.

"Boss, do you have a good stone mill here?" Shen Qingqing asked.

The boss was very enthusiastic, and introduced several with a face, and finally Shen Qingqing picked a neat one and bought it.

This manpower grinding glutinous rice flour is a life-threatening job, so simply, Shen Qingqing bought another donkey.

After I finished these things, it was already dark when I got home, and the autumn evening was cool, and the wind blew like ice.

This winter eats radish and summer ginger, Shen Qingqing cooked a big pot of radish pork rib soup at home, and lightly fried a plate of shredded potatoes and green vegetables.

When the rice was cooked, Xiao Douding was still writing, and Shen Qingqing remembered that after taking over Shili Xiang's business, it must be very busy in the future, and Xiao Dou Ding's enrollment in the school was still settled early.

The next day, Shen Qingqing went to the market to buy a large strip of dried meat, which is the etiquette that must be sent to the teacher to get started, it is to bind the belly, and it was still early when he went back, so Shen Qingqing took Xiaodouding to the school.

The school they are looking for is in the town, it is run by a person, this master is not smiling, and he is very famous in the town. The school is also built on a low mountain, just two steps away is the singing of birds and flowers, everywhere exquisite.

"Mother, look here." Little Bean Ding pointed to a flower that grew out of a crack in the stone, and was very happy.

Shen Qingqing was also excited to hold the bundle in one hand and Xiaodouding in the other: "The construction of this school is really very good. ”

"Of course, this master is a person, where is you, a village woman, who understands the mystery?"

A voice came from above, and Shen Qingqing looked down, panicking in his heart.
