Shopkeeper Luo looked at the yellow powdery seasoning in the oil-paper bag and asked Ai Qiaoqiao, "How did you make this kind of thing?" ”

Ai Qiaoqiao smiled, "The recipe was taught to me by my father, but it can't be passed on." ”

Shopkeeper Luo was stunned for a moment, and then teased, "Do you still want to keep this recipe secret?" ”

"Of course, otherwise you've seen anyone else sell this kind of thing?" Ai Qiaoqiao asked rhetorically, "Dipping it in raw seafood can prevent eating bad stomach, and it can also be made into other side dishes, which taste very good." ”

Shopkeeper Luo's eyes lit up, "Boss Feng said that your cooking skills are good, why don't you show your hands?" ”

Ai Qiaoqiao nodded generously.

Shopkeeper Luo was also a happy person, and took Ai Qiaoqiao to the kitchen.

Ai Qiaoqiao cleaned his hands and found ready-made ingredients casually.

She took some tripe, cut it into thick shreds with a knife, soaked some powder, and cut it into shreds, put it in a pot of boiling water and blanched it, then scooped it up, put it in cold water to cool it, drain the water, and add sesame oil to block it evenly.

Shopkeeper Luo watched from the side, and his eyes gradually showed admiration.

"Your knife skills are good." He commented.

"If you cut more, you will become proficient." Ai Qiaoqiao said lightly, but her hands were busy, she took the garlic off the clothes, chopped it into garlic paste, then took an empty bowl, mixed the mustard powder with warm boiled water, and then put in salt, vinegar, and sesame oil, adjusted and covered the lid, and put it aside to cool.

"Does this dish have a name?" Shopkeeper Luo asked.

"Mustard belly." Ai Qiaoqiao first put the flour shreds on a plate and piled them up, then spread the belly shreds on top of the flour shreds, and finally poured the adjusted mustard paste.

"Shopkeeper Luo has a try."

Shopkeeper Luo took the chopsticks, picked up some vegetables and put them in his mouth.

The tripe has a supple taste, with a slight refreshing and slightly spicy taste in the mouth, but this spicy taste disappears in the blink of an eye after entering the throat.

I don't think it's an appetite.

Shopkeeper Luo put down his chopsticks and looked solemn, "Ai Qiaoqiao, if you are a boy, I really want to leave you behind." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao smiled, "It doesn't matter if I'm a man or a woman, I like to cook, especially when I see that what I make is liked and recognized by everyone, I'm very happy." ”

Shopkeeper Luo took the plate of mustard belly shreds to several chefs in the back kitchen to taste.

Everyone was amazed when they tasted it.

In particular, wasabi is a seasoning that they have never touched before, let alone used it as a side dish.

After tasting this mustard belly, a chef leaned into the ear of Shopkeeper Luo and whispered in his ear, Shopkeeper Luo's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

He brought them back to the private room they had just had.

Ai Qiaoqiao followed behind with a smile.

Zhang Wu couldn't help but whispered: "Qiaoqiao, will the shopkeeper Luo not want to buy our things." ”

"He's going to ask for it." Ai Qiaoqiao is confident.

"Then why is he hesitating?" Even Zhang Wu could see the hesitation in Shopkeeper Luo's eyes.

"I guess...... He doesn't just want what we have. Ai Qiaoqiao said, "He wants more." ”

"So we won't have to worry about selling our goods in the future?" Zhang Wu was overjoyed.

Ai Qiaoqiao shook her head, "That's not the case. ”

"What's going on......" Before Zhang Wu could finish speaking, Shopkeeper Luo had already closed the door of the private room.

"I'll pay three hundred taels of silver for your recipe for making mustard." The shopkeeper Luo is coloring.

Zhang Wu gasped.

Three hundred taels of silver, he heard him right.

Seven taels of silver can buy an acre of fertile land, three hundred taels...... Wouldn't that be another land and a house?

He looked at Ai Qiaoqiao, nervous and unable to speak.

Ai Qiaoqiao was not carried away by this huge number.

"Shopkeeper Luo, do you want to buy my recipe?"

"Yes." Shopkeeper Luo said seriously, "I don't want other restaurants in Huai'an City to get mustard as a seasoning, I want it to become a secret seasoning for our full building, if you think the price I offer is not suitable, just mention it, I can increase the price." ”

Zhang Wu was secretly speechless.

It seems that Shopkeeper Luo is bound to win this time.

Ai Qiaoqiao shook her head, "I'm not disgusted that your price is too low, on the contrary, I think you are too high." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Wu couldn't close his mouth in shock, and Shopkeeper Luo was even more surprised.

Doing business is afraid that the price will be low, where is there a person like Ai Qiaoqiao, who dislikes the other party's high price.

After a short period of surprise, Shopkeeper Luo smiled, "Miss Qiaoqiao is really a cheerful person, I like to do business with people like you, tell me why my price is too high." ”

"The method of making wasabi is very simple, as long as you know the method, everyone can make it, even if I buy the recipe for you, but it is difficult for you to keep this recipe."

Shopkeeper Luo nodded slightly, "I understand what you mean, but I've already thought about this, everyone is in business, there must always be fiction and reality, you don't have to worry about this, as long as you buy me the recipe, and promise not to leak this recipe to others from now on." ”

"Since you say so, then I don't have anything to say, the number of three hundred taels is fine, but in the future, I will make some mustard when I want to use it at home, but don't worry, since I promised you, I will never pass on the recipe."

Shopkeeper Luo nodded and asked people to take the silver.

Ai Qiaoqiao thought for a while, "Although I can trust the character of the shopkeeper Luo, let's set up a document first, and it is better to have a guarantor......

Shopkeeper Luo was quite surprised, "Do you recognize the words?" ”

"My dad taught me something."

Shopkeeper Luo is accustomed to doing business, and soon found a guarantor, wrote a document, and set up a note.

In duplicate, both parties pressed their fingerprints on it and signed it.

When Shopkeeper Luo handed over three hundred taels of silver to Ai Qiaoqiao, Ai Qiaoqiao didn't take it.

"There's something I want to ask Shopkeeper Luo for a favor."

"Qiaoqiao girl, please speak."

"I discussed with Brother Xiao Wu before, and we will divide the money we earned this time, so I can't take this money alone, their family owes usury, and I want to ask Shopkeeper Luo to come forward to help them pay back the money they owe."

Shopkeeper Luo was stunned and looked at Zhang Wu.

Zhang Wu's face flushed, "Qiaoqiao...... This, this won't work......"

Where did he think that the mustard recipe would be sold for so much money, it was three hundred taels of silver, even if half of it was divided, it was a huge amount, but he didn't expect Ai Qiaoqiao to be distressed at all.

"Brother Xiaowu, don't shirk, pay off your family's debts first, as long as the people are still there, we will make more money in the future." Ai Qiaoqiao comforted.

In the way of the face of the shopkeeper Luo, the loan sharks soon came to fill the building.

In front of everyone, the amount of debts owed by Zhang Wu's family was settled, and after paying everything, there were still 190 taels of silver left in the three hundred taels.

"That's a lot." Ai Qiaoqiao calculated.

"Qiaoqiao, aren't you really distressed at all?" Zhang Wu asked.

"What's distressed, my father said, you can't keep the windfall, and if you keep it, you will get into trouble." To her, the money was a windfall, and she would never dare to take it home.

Leaving the full building, Ai Qiaoqiao said to Zhang Wu, "With the rest of the money, let's buy land together, I can't show up to do these things, so you can only come forward." ”

This time, Zhang Wu agreed very happily, "Okay, your name will be written on the title deed then." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao chuckled, "It seems that Brother Xiao Wu will be a daughter-in-law in the future." ”

Zhang Wu blushed slightly, and he turned his head away not wanting Ai Qiaoqiao to see the expression on his face.

Ai Qiaoqiao didn't notice Zhang Wu's shyness, she pulled him to speed up.

"Hey, where are you going?" As he walked, Zhang Wu noticed that they were not heading in the direction of the outside of the city.

"Accompany me to Yicaotang." Ai Qiaoqiao smiled, "I'm going to cook a meal for my benefactor, and we'll go back." ”

It was rare to enter the city, and she was still thinking about the wrist injury of Ye Li's death.

What she heard from Yu that day was very vague, but she had already understood the reason for Ye Li's injury.

If it weren't for protecting her at that time, Ye Liyan would not have been injured by the other party's poisonous arrows, which led to being caught by those people later and picking the muscles and veins of his wrists.

Ai Qiaoqiao couldn't help but feel a little sorry in her heart.
