"In June, my brother is going to the hospital to take the test, to Fucheng, our family wants to go together, it just so happens that my sister-in-law is married there, and she is about to give birth at that time, so I will go to say goodbye." Qi Jiuli said.

Yan Chengtao thought for a while, "Jiuli, about the spices, we only bought them from Huaijin County before, and I want to ask the owner again." ”

Qi Jiuli understood what Yan Chengtao said, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, if I plan to sell the spices again, I will definitely tell the shopkeeper, there is no such plan at present." ”

It means that going to Fucheng has nothing to do with selling spices, Yan Chengtao understood, and felt relieved, it was comfortable to talk to smart people.

"Okay, I know, Jiuli, you go to rest and run errands tomorrow, and then you tell me if you have something, go to Fucheng, then you just need to tell me in advance how much time you will go, and I will remember the accounts, now with your method, I don't worry about the accounts at all."

Qi Jiuli smiled and thanked him, and then went down.

Yan Chengtao was thinking about talking to Qiu Lianfang about spices, and it happened that Qiu Shunwei and Qiu Lianfang brought their daughter Qiu Hongxue to the Qiuwei Restaurant, planning to have lunch, and it was a mother-in-law who was waiting for her.

Yan Chengtao happened to be behind the counter, and personally invited people to the private room on the second floor, Qi Jiuli went to the back kitchen, and tasted the new dishes made by Jiang Houchun, shabu-shabu.

Of course, this is not Jiang Houchun's idea, it is Qi Jiuli, anyway, with charcoal, it is necessary to come up with all the dishes that need to use charcoal, and the hot pot is very suitable, Qi Jiuli gave the shabu-shabu a name that is closer to it.

The bone broth is stewed and boiled one by one to make the soup base, the aroma is strong, before putting the ingredients in, scoop a bowl of bone broth, sprinkle some green onions is a good soup, and then no matter what ingredients are put into the pot, a simple shabu is delicious, like the heavy taste, with dipping sauce, that taste.

Qi Jiuli thought in his heart, he had already started to do it, scooped a bowl of soup to base it first, then soaked the ingredients, and dipped it in the sauce, this taste, I miss it so much.

Just as he was thinking about continuing to sing, Yan Chengtao came, "Jiuli, follow me upstairs, the owner is here, I want to see you." ”

Qi Jiuli hurriedly put down the chopsticks in his hand, no matter how beautiful the food is, it is not as important as "food and clothing".

"This is shabu-shabu?" Yan Chengtao asked as he looked at the fragrant milky white soup cooked on the stove in front of him, and there were still a few pieces of lettuce and a few slices of meat floating up and down in it.

"Yes." Jiang Houchun replied, "Shopkeeper, why don't I prepare one for the owner to taste, it tastes very good, I have tasted it with Jiuli just now." ”

When Yan Chengtao heard this, he took a pair of new chopsticks, tasted the lettuce and meat slices inside, tasted the taste of dipping sauce and non-dipping sauce, and nodded with a smile, "Okay, okay, give a copy to the owner, and then Ming'er will launch it." ”

Yan Chengtao led Qi Jiuli to the front hall with a smile on his face, went to the Yao Huang private room on the second floor, and knocked on the door in person.

"Come in." There was a soft sound in the house, Yan Chengtao opened the door, Qi Jiuli lowered her head and followed in, she had not forgotten her external gender, and the owner she wanted to see now was a woman.

Qi Jiuli lowered his head and entered the private room steadily, even if he didn't look up, he felt a few lines of sight to look over, Qi Jiuli glanced up at the right time, lowered his head again, stood behind Yan Chengtao, and called someone with him, "Uncle, owner, miss." ”

"This is the little brother of Jiuli, I've heard Mama Qiu and Shopkeeper Yan mention it many times." Qiu Lianfang looked at Qi Jiuli, who bowed his head slightly, and nodded with satisfaction, he is a person who knows etiquette, it is difficult for a child born in a peasant family to be raised so well, and it is no wonder that he is so liked.

"Steward Qiu and Shopkeeper Yan are kind-hearted, and they take care of the kid a lot, the kid can have this job now, and the charcoal at home can have the current business, all thanks to their blessings, as well as the owner." Qi Jiuli said a nice truth.

Qiu Shunwei and Qiu Lianfang smiled slightly when they heard this, they are talkative.

"I heard Madame say that you have read books, can read and write." Qi Jiuli heard the sound and saw that a man about twenty or thirty years old was sitting on the left side of Qiu Lianfang, with upright and angular facial features, which matched the appearance of Qiu Lianfang.

"The kid is not the material for reading, the elder brother at home is a good learner, teaching his younger brother and sister to know some words, saying that he knows a lot, and it is always helpful to himself." Qi Jiuli replied with a smile.

"Uncle and the owner don't know, Jiuli's brother is from the Fang family's private school, and now he is only fifteen years old and is already a child." Yan Chengtao said with a smile, Qi Jiuli showed an appropriately proud and embarrassed look.

Qiu Shunwei raised his eyebrows, fifteen-year-old Tongsheng, if this college examination can go further, Xiucai's fame will be in hand, and there is no need to kneel when he sees the county officials, if he can still ...... The future is limitless, "No wonder Jiuli is so good at a young age, and he is well educated at home." ”

Qi Jiuli smiled happily, but didn't reply.

Qiu Hongxue is five years old, it is the time to love to play, but she was raised by Qiu Lianfang, and she already has the first appearance of a lady, even if she is curious, she can sit upright and not speak, only occasionally look back and forth, Qi Jiuli glanced at it, and her heart was very shocked, it seems that her owner is a powerful woman, she can make money in business, and she can also be a tutor.

After that, Qiu Shunwei asked Qi Jiuli some questions, and Qi Jiuli answered truthfully, and he was happy in the private room for a while.

Having said that, Yan Chengtao took over the conversation, "Uncle, Dongjia, Miss, Chef Jiang and Jiuli have developed a new dish, and they will be brought later, and Ming'er will officially launch it, please give your opinions." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a knock on the door, and after Qiu Shunwei shouted in, Qi Jiuli cleverly went to open the door, Jiang Houchun personally came with a casserole, Guizi held a small stove, and the two cooperated with the shelf, and then the guy served several dishes, Jiang Houchun smiled and introduced the way to eat, after all, the first time the ingredients were served on the table was also the first time.

After the introduction, Qiu Lianfang gave the mother-in-law standing on the side a look, and then Qi Jiuli and several people got a reward and exited the private room together.

Qi Jiuli put the red envelope he got in the purse hanging on his waist, and then went to get busy, and the guests will come to the door one after another in a while.

Although Qi Jiuli had already gone out, he mentioned it to her again in the private room.

Yan Chengtao saw that the hour was almost up, and entered the private room again, Qiu Shunwei and Qiu Lianfang had just finished eating, and Yan Chengtao told him about the spices.

"The owner, the secret recipe of the spices is very important, at the beginning, we only needed Huaijin County, if we sold it to others, as long as we came to Jinshui Town to open a food shop, it would be a big blow to the autumn flavor restaurant." Yan Chengtao said his thoughts.

"Even if the owner doesn't want to open a food shop again, the small one thinks it's better to buy out, so that the spice is a very good knock sticker, a hole card belonging to the owner."
