Chapter 41

Tang'er got up later today than usual, and it wasn't until the sun shone the yard clearly that she stretched lazily and got up to wash. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The arrival of her sister made her feel the burden on her shoulders lighter, so she slept very sweetly last night. In fact, she has always known that she is not a business material, and the reason why she will carry the shop down is mainly because her sister promised her that she would only need a month, and she would come and take over by herself in a month. I didn't expect something to happen in the middle, which caused me to carry it hard for several months, but fortunately, although I didn't make much progress in the end, if I said that I lost the capital, it wouldn't be enough. Although she really wants to run the shop well and wants to help her sister and family, novices are always novices, and running a shop is far from being as simple as talking, let alone two.

I am only in charge of two shops and have such a headache, poor sister, I have to manage so many industries...... Tang'er is really scared when she thinks about it. Thinking of this, she blamed herself a little, hating herself for not being able to solve problems for her sister.

After eating some breakfast, Tang'er went to find her sister. My sister should be very busy today, yesterday she heard her sister ask Uncle Qi to sort out the account books for her these days, according to my sister's style, she should already be reading the account books at this time.

pushed open her sister's room, but the scene in front of her made Tang'er a little dumbfounded for a while.

Her eyes widened, and she was stunned for a while, then walked quickly to the table by the window, glanced at the bricks placed on the table, and slowly sat down next to Chen Ruolan.

"Sister, you...... What's going on? Tang'er asked, but her eyes stayed on the bricks, and her face was full of puzzlement, "These bricks ...... Is it still there? You still turned it out? ”

Chen Ruolan smiled and didn't answer, but asked after a long time: "Tang'er, what do you think of these bricks of Li Gongzi?" ”

"Opinion?" Tang'er was stunned for a moment, and saw that her sister asked solemnly, not like she was joking, but she had an urge to laugh, "...... What else can you think, these bricks are thrown early, save eyesore, and take up space. ”

Tang'er changed her words and asked, "Sister, Uncle Qi sorted out the account books of the inn and the wine shop for a long time yesterday, and you have finished reading them?" ”

"I'm done. I basically went through the accounts of the two shops, and I have a rough idea of what to start with next, and what needs to be improved. Chen Ruolan nodded and smiled, she is obviously good at these things, so she has this confidence. After a pause, she immediately turned the subject back again, "...... I got up early and read all the accounts, so I had time to dig out the bricks and study them again. ”

Tang'er couldn't believe her ears, lowered her head and looked at the bricks again, and said in amazement: "What else is there to study?" ”

Chen Ruolan took a brick, put it under her nose and sniffed it gently, "Tang'er, have you tried these bricks before?" I remember that Mr. Li said that these bricks are called licking bricks. Lick the brick lick the brick, as the name suggests...... Have you ever tried it? ”

"I've licked it!" Tang'er blurted out with wide eyes, and only after saying the words did she feel that something was wrong, and she chuckled twice, and then corrected: "...... No, no, I've licked those horses! But the horses were able to lick a few mouthfuls at first, but then they became less interested and didn't know what to do, so I threw them aside. There are also a lot of things to do in wine shops and inns, who has the time to circle around a few broken bricks? ”

"Yes, I also went to the stable yesterday to try it, and the situation is similar to what you said, the big yellow horse was still a little interested at first, but after a few licks, he stopped licking." Chen Ruolan's brows furrowed slightly, and she thought for a moment before asking, "Tang'er, is there anything else here that we don't know?" ”

"Insider?" Tang'er almost laughed out loud, "What can you do?" These bricks are just nonsense, you look at this appearance, it is not the appearance of tight bricks, how can tight bricks be so uneven? If someone's green bricks are burned like this, it will be strange for someone to buy them. ”

Chen Ruolan suddenly laughed, indeed. She also deliberately arranged the nine bricks in an order, the first few bricks were not regular at all, this side bulged a little, and that side collapsed into a little, crooked melons and inferior dates, and they looked extremely uneven on the table, but the appearance of the back ones was obviously better.

"I think that Li Gongzi is also the first time to make this brick, the mold is estimated to be not very used, when I do this piece, I will get a little more hands, and the next few pieces, the appearance is probably quite correct."

"I guess he's just looking for a few planks...... Alas, what are you doing with all this, who cares about all this nonsense? Sister, I thought you should be very busy today, but I didn't expect you to have such leisure and leisure, studying these inexplicable things, this ...... It's not like you. Tang'er took her sister's hand and said.

"I can't even think of it myself. But yesterday I heard you talk about Li Gongzi's treatment of horses, and I felt more and more that this person was a little ......"

Speaking of this, Chen Ruolan suddenly stopped, stuck for a long time, and thought for a long time, but she never found a suitable adjective to describe Li Qingshan.

Seeing that she was hesitant, Tang'er also felt uncomfortable, and couldn't help laughing: "I just can't find the words to describe him, right?" ”

Chen Ruolan nodded lightly: "Yes." After dinner yesterday, I also asked Uncle Niu carefully, and Uncle Niu was full of praise and told me that although the tricks that Gongzi Li gave him looked simple, they were surprisingly effective, and there was a feeling of simplicity, which showed that he had indeed raised horses, and there was no need to doubt this. ”

"That's right," Tang'er said a rare good word for Li Qingshan, "Yesterday I saw him put that black cloth on Rhubarb's head, and Rhubarb was very obedient. Judging from his behavior at the time, it is clear at a glance that he was indeed a man who had kept horses. ”

After returning from Li Qingshan yesterday, Tang'er happened to meet her sister, and told her about Li Qingshan's help to treat horse diseases. My sister seems to be quite interested in this strange person, she was discussing some things with Uncle Qi about the operation of the shop, as soon as she heard about it, she explained a few words to Uncle Qi, and immediately asked seriously, even the funny Lord Muramasa, she actually asked clearly.

At this time, I heard Chen Ruolan ask again: "But if a person who has raised horses normally encounters that kind of ear disease when he encounters a horse, I am afraid that he may not be able to think of using that strange method to treat it, right?" ”

Tang'er laughed, "That method is indeed a bit peculiar, but the effect is really good." By the way, I'll take a look at the rhubarb later, and I'll make sure......"

Chen Ruolan waved her hand and said, "No need, I asked Brother Liuzi just now, rhubarb is very good, he can eat and sleep, everything is as usual." But in my opinion, in order to get that method, you have to have not only a horse, but also a well-read book about the characteristics of flying insects...... But even a well-read person may not know what phototaxis, this kind of extreme knowledge, I am afraid that there are few books in this world that will write about it...... That's why I think that this Li Gongzi is really unpredictable. ”

Tang'er saw that her sister was sad, and couldn't help but make a concluding statement: "In short, this Li Qingshan is a strange stranger!" Sister, didn't I tell you all about his crimes on the way here? ”

"But, Tang'er," Chen Ruolan shook her head and looked at her sister, "Now that Douzi is concerned, we already know that he was wronged." All the previous rumors said that he was ruining the beans, but what about it? He's just brewing soy sauce. But because no one knew about the brewing process of this sauce, there were all kinds of rumors, but in fact, he was not spoiling the beans, but also greatly increased the value of the beans......

After pausing for a while, Chen Ruolan couldn't help but sigh again, "...... Speaking of which, the soy sauce brewed by Li Gongzi is really the most amazing sauce I have ever seen, and I have never seen a sauce that can be paired with so many foods before. ”

Tang'er sighed, "...... I haven't noticed this, my sister has tried it? ”

"Yes, I took a short break at noon yesterday and have been trying this soy sauce since I woke up. Whether this thing is used to cook meat or fish, the taste is very delicious, and the originally plain thing, because the taste of soy sauce seeps into the steaming process, it suddenly becomes very good, and you have seen the reaction of the two guests yesterday......"

Tang'er nodded, yesterday she heard that she was going to try soy sauce for the guests, she also rushed to take a look, and afterwards she felt that the reaction of the two guests was a bit exaggerated, so she personally asked Chef Li to steam an identical pork rib again, and tried it herself, so she felt that it was normal for the two guests to shout to buy soy sauce at a high price.

When soy sauce is eaten raw, it is one flavor, and after steaming, it is another flavor, but both flavors are unique and delicious.

Although the guests were full of praise, it should not be as good as my sister said...... All right? Although the taste is really good, Tang'er feels that her sister even uses the word "magical", which is really an exaggeration.

"Tang'er, my sister is not exaggerating. You don't know, the magic of this soy sauce is that it can come in handy whether it's dipped or steamed, and it's an absolute ingredient. But even so, it blends well with most other spices, and because of this, it can adapt to different tastes. ”

Seeing that Tang'er didn't understand, Chen Ruolan continued to explain: "For example, if your taste is sour, you can add a little vinegar to the soy sauce, then it will taste different, neither like soy sauce nor vinegar, it is biased between the two." Uncle Li, who is in charge of the spoon, is also very novel when he sees this brand new sauce, yesterday he saw me mix vinegar and soy sauce to eat, on a whim, try to cut the garlic into small cubes, mix it into soy sauce, and wait until the two taste each other, and then dip it in the meat to eat, it is another taste, than the garlic juice in the shop and I don't know how many times better. ”

“…… Later, I was inspired by him and tried some things, and they didn't taste bad. Finally, I poured a little soy sauce into the rice, stirred it, and the rice became delicious without adding anything, not even with the rice...... Tang'er, you say, whose store's sauce can have such a magical effect? ”

"Sister, no wonder I couldn't find you yesterday, so you went to the kitchen to do these things?"

"yes, these things...... Very important. As far as I know, there are many ways to eat this soy sauce, in addition to steamed meat, steamed fish, raw dipping, you can also eat it directly, and with it as the main ingredient, you can develop more different sauces, such as adding vinegar, such as turning into garlic sauce - let's call it first, this garlic sauce is even Daddy Yang, who eats garlic every day, said it was good after tasting it......

"Daddy Yang? Did you tell him that it was made with his boy's soy sauce? ”

"I mentioned it at the time, and he didn't believe it."

Tang'er smiled, then frowned and thought thoughtfully for a while, and finally suddenly realized: "Sister, no wonder you didn't sell soy sauce when those two guests wanted to buy it yesterday, I understand a little now." ”

"It's good to get it." Chen Ruolan stood up and stared at the red flower blooming in the courtyard outside the window, "Since this soy sauce has so many possibilities, how can we not pay attention to it when we run a wine shop?" But the current stock of soy sauce is limited, I asked Li Gongzi yesterday about the brewing cycle of this soy sauce, how the next batch of finished products can be made after two or three months, then during this period, selling a jar will naturally lose a jar. Selling two jars, although you can make a lot of copper, but these small profits, compared with long-term benefits, can be categorically abandoned. Tang'er, do you say yes? ”

"It's still my sister who thinks about it, and my sister thought about it just now, but if it is according to my temperament, I'm afraid I will sell it at that time."

“…… So, for the sake of this soy sauce, I'm afraid I still have to go to Li ......."

In the middle of speaking, someone suddenly knocked on the door, and the knock was very urgent.

The familiar voices of the two came from outside the door: "Miss, something is wrong!" ”
