Chapter 30: The Old Fox and the Little Slippery Head

Qin Wenyuan is a veteran businessman, and he naturally has his own reasons for dealing with people.

He doesn't charge this money, so he shouldn't be able to jump away from the relationship between the four uncles and Wu Changlu.

After all, being a favor and selling one in front of the Fangzhou unified army is not something that can be bought for hundreds of dollars.

This old businessman is smart and smart, he didn't just refuse to accept it, but found an extremely ingenious excuse to help Wu Ning again.

......

"An inn of 100 wen a night and an inn of 500 wen a night are actually the same, expensive!"

"But the difference is that if the store dares to ask for 500 wen a night, then the person who lives in the hotel has to think about it, why is he so expensive, is there anything extraordinary?"

This sentence woke up Wu Ning, right, isn't this the luxury consumption of later generations?

Are luxury really worth that much? Of course it's not worth it.

In a sense, expensive is actually one of its selling points.

"Thank you for your advice!" Wu Ning gave a deep salute and thanked him sincerely.

Qin Wenyuan also just smiled indifferently, "The small path of merchant driving profits is not enough to worry about. ”

After saying that, don't mention the matter of money, and accompany Wu Changlu to eat with peace of mind.

But after eating, Wu Changlu had something to do, so he took the first step.

The people in the courtyard were almost gone, and Qin Wenyuan found Wu Ning who was washing dishes in the stove room again.

"Wu Xiaolangjun, there is something unclear, and I hope to give advice."

And Wu Ning took advantage of others, and got other people's ideas, so he was naturally willing to help, "I don't know what happened to my father-in-law?" ”

I saw Qin Wenyuan pointing to a little leftover rice on the stove, "Xiao Langjun's meal seems to be different?" ”

"Oh?" Wu Ning smiled playfully, "What's the difference?" ”

"The old man also said what the difference is, but the taste is more delicious."

When Wu Ning heard it, it turned out to be the idea.

Xin said: "Of course it's different, the meal with fresh soup is not a little worse than the one without fresh soup in this era." ”

I was very amused, "Why does my husband still care about cooking?" ”

"Hahahaha." Qin Wenyuan laughed, "Xiao Langjun, don't get me wrong. ”

Thinking that Wu Ning's question was guarded, he hurriedly said: "I think that Xiao Langjun must have a secret cooking method to make the food so delicious, and the old man has no intention of peeping at people's secrets!" ”

Like what kind of secret recipe, unique tricks and the like, in this era, it is a very private matter, and even the capital of life, but ordinary people hide it tightly, how can they be allowed to snoop?

"But ......"

The words changed, "If Xiao Langjun really has a secret method, the old man is willing to give money and ask for a lesson or two." ”

Well, let's talk about it, it's still the secret recipe.

This is understandable, the Qin family is known as a giant merchant in Fangzhou, and the industries in the clan range from grain shops, cloth villages, to restaurants and grocery stores, covering almost all industries of people's livelihood.

And it just so happens that the restaurant is the largest of the Qin family's properties. If Wu Ning really had a secret recipe, how could Qin Wenyuan not have the heart to seek advice?

Moreover, Qin Wenyuan is very straightforward and spends money to buy it. Look at that posture, just wait for Wu Ning to make a price at will.

So whether Wu Ning sells it or not?

Nonsense! If Wu Laojiu knew that a pot of soup could be sold for money, he would have gone into the city to shout from house to house.

This old man also calculated that Wu Ning was short of money, so he opened this mouth.

As for what price is appropriate......

"Hah!!"

"My husband was asking about this?"

Spread his hands, "What kind of secret recipe is this, it's just a pot of fresh soup." ”

As he spoke, he directly opened the soup pot on the side.

"The cooking is not delicate, far worse than the chef in the restaurant, and the mystery is only in this pot of soup."

"No matter what you do, add that spoonful, it will be very fresh and delicious."

"Oh!?" Qin Wenyuan was greatly surprised, and his face could not hide his joy.

Originally, he thought that there was something special about the casserole rice and soup dishes, so he came to ask for advice, but what he didn't expect was that it turned out to be the credit of this pot of soup.

According to Wu Ning, isn't that a little bit of everything that can be put in it, and any dish can be delicious?

You know, one or two good dishes are the icing on the cake at most, but if all the meals are up to the next level, it will be enough for him to be proud of the famous buildings in Fangzhou.

Said eagerly: "Xiao Langjun, this pot of fresh soup is willing to be sold to the old man?" ”

"Don't worry, the price is easy to say!"

......

"Let me bid again?" Wu Ning scolded in his heart, "I know how much this pot of soup is worth?" ”

With a wave of his hand, "What kind of money is not money, isn't it just a pot of soup, old man, wait a while." ”

As he spoke, he entered the room, took Wu Qi's pen and paper, and put all the ingredients of the pot of soup on the paper, which was very detailed. Moreover, even the kelp he didn't find was written in, which can be said to be unselfish.

After finishing writing, he stuffed it into Qin Wenyuan's hand, "Take it!" ”

“......”

Qin Wenyuan was holding that piece of paper, and he was about to cry.

The heart said: Your uncle, little rabbit cub, play yin for the old man!

The old man now had the urge to give Wu Ning a retreat, but he was reluctant.

With his veteran business vision, he faintly felt that the significance of this secret recipe to Qin's restaurant would be immeasurable, and it was an opportunity for him to defeat the Wang family's Cuixin Building and monopolize Fangzhou.

"Okay!" The old man finally gritted his teeth and bowed his hand to Wu Ning, "Thank you for the generous gift, the old man will be rewarded!" ”

As he spoke, he didn't live here with Wu Ning, and he was about to return to the city with that secret recipe.

......

————————

sent Qin Wenyuan away, but Wu Qi didn't know when he leaned to Wu Ning's side.

"Just gave it to him for nothing?"

Isn't this like Wu Ning? Was he really educated by Zujun and his father to be honest?

"Just look at Qin Wenyuan's expression, that pot of soup may really be able to sell for a lot of money, why did you give it away for nothing?"

"Given away for nothing?" Wu Ning glanced at Wu Qi with disdain.

"Wait, wait for him to send us money!"

Wu Qi didn't believe it, "The secret recipe has been taken, he's stupid, and he will send you money?" ”

"Just because he's not stupid, he'll definitely send the money over."

"Why?"

"Because your father is the commander of Fangzhou!"

......

To put it bluntly, from beginning to end, Qin Wenyuan was generous enough, friendly enough, and righteous enough.

However, some small details allowed Wu Ning to see the old man's true thoughts.

First of all, the house money, and the idea of 500 wen a night, were not given to Wu Ning.

Do you try someone else? Qin Wenyuan was too lazy to take care of it, let alone give Wu Ning advice when he also had a restaurant and inn at home.

To put it bluntly, that's because the Fangzhou army is sitting there, and he wants to tie up Wu Changlu.

That money and idea were given to Wu Changlu.

Secondly, why did he wait for Wu Changlu to leave before he came to Wu Ning, but he didn't say a word at the dinner table, and he didn't even show an expression?

It shows that this person is very thoughtful, he heard the words of the old ancestor and the fourth uncle outside, which not only educated Wu Ning, but also showed the disdain of the two of them for the merchants.

Therefore, at the dinner table, in front of Wu Changlu, he avoided this topic.

Besides, it's not cost-effective to use the favor you just got for the sake of a secret recipe that I don't know if there is.

came to Wu Ning afterwards, first, Wu Ning was young and easy to talk; Second, Wu Ning has just gotten the benefits of others, so it's hard to refuse, and it's easier to ask for a secret recipe.

It's just that Qin Wenyuan didn't expect that Wu Ning would give him such a hand - for nothing!

If it were someone else, he would give it away for free, and he also saved money to buy a secret recipe.

But Wu Ning is different, he is especially the nephew of the unified army, which is difficult to do.

As a saying in later generations, "casually" and "for free" are the most expensive!

Wu Ning didn't know how much the pot of soup could sell, so he had to let Qin Wenyuan bid himself. For the sake of the fourth uncle's face, this old man should give a "fair price"!

"Day!" After listening to Wu Ning's explanation, Wu Qi scolded his mother directly.

"An old fox, a little slippery head, do you need to go around like this?"

Pointing at Wu Ning for a while, he fell: "It seems that my father and Old Ancestor Jun just taught you in vain!" ”

"!"

Wu Ning quenched, "Two different things!" ”
