77. Settle accounts

"The shell of this shrimp is still there, and those noble sons are afraid that they will be furious when they see it."

The shopkeeper felt a little clueless about what to do with the chopsticks, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

Wouldn't that be dirty hands?

Xu Zhen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said as a matter of course: "It's all because I didn't think it well, I knew that I should peel the shell and give it to the master, but it is a blessing to be able to eat the dishes made by the master himself." ”

Meng Wei loved to listen to this, so she immediately picked up a crayfish, peeled the shell neatly in front of the two, and shook the shrimp meat with chopsticks in the two: "This kind of shrimp is more delicious if you peel the shell yourself, if you peel the shell and stir-fry the vegetables, not only is it not as tender as the river shrimp and shrimp, but it will be much stiffer." ”

After the words fell, Meng Wei ate the tempting crayfish in one bite, and the spicy, salty and sweet taste made her eyes squint happily.

Although the shopkeeper didn't believe it very much, seeing that Meng Wei was eating so deliciously, he also tried to do it with some suspicion.

deliberately ignored the soup in his hand, and peeled off the corners like Meng Wei, and after a while, the entire shrimp shell was peeled off, leaving a ball of shrimp that was still bright red for some reason, which made him feel a little pleasing to the eye.

"It tastes really good, master, your craftsmanship is really good, shopkeeper, you taste it quickly, otherwise you will definitely regret it."

Just when the shopkeeper was hesitant to eat it, Xu Zhen on the side had already swallowed the crayfish into his stomach, and couldn't wait to go towards the remaining crayfish on the plate, as for Meng Wei on the side, he didn't want to let it, and Xu Zhen quickly peeled another one and ate it.

Is it so delicious?

The moment this thought flashed in the shopkeeper's heart, his hand unequivocally passed the shrimp meat into his mouth.

Well, it's fresh!

This is the shopkeeper's first feeling, with the chewing of his teeth, the fresh and spicy taste is even worse, just feel a little spicy, and then feel the sweetness of the meaning dilute the spicy taste.

The tender feeling on the tip of his tongue made him feel even better than many of the dishes he had eaten before, but he didn't know how to describe it for a while.

Yu Guang caught a glimpse that the plate of lobsters was one-fifth less than just now, and the shopkeeper's heart tightened, and he hurriedly swallowed the crayfish in his mouth, and also joined Meng Wei and Xu Zhen's team, and went to the plate of few crayfish.

There weren't many crayfish left by Xu Zhen, not to mention that the crayfish had been in the water for several hours, and many of them had died, so there were naturally not many left.

The shopkeeper felt addicted, and when he stretched out his hand, he didn't want to see that the plate was empty, except for the bright red peppers and soup.

"That's it?" The shopkeeper glanced at the shrimp shells next to the bowl of the two people opposite, and when his eyes turned to him, he couldn't help but be stunned, "When did I eat so much?" ”

It turned out that there were a lot of lobster shells piled up in front of him at some point, and the height was no less than that in front of Meng Wei and Xu Zhen.

When Meng Wei heard this, she sucked her fingers, and then said, "Do you know that you eat too much?" But I think the most important thing for you to do now, the shopkeeper, is to look in the mirror, your mouth is like rouge, red. ”

"What? Rouge? ”

The shopkeeper was shocked, and then he felt that the spicy taste was coming, so he couldn't help but pick up half a glass of water on the side and drank it all directly, only then did he feel that the spicy taste had diluted a lot, but the hot feeling on his mouth was stronger.

There is no need to look in the mirror, and the shopkeeper knows that his lips must be red and swollen now.

But no matter how you say it, he is also the shopkeeper, and he still wants majesty.

So the shopkeeper cleared his throat and coughed: "Miss Meng, this dish tastes good, I don't know what kind of sales method you are going to make?" What did the little marquis say? ”

"I won't interfere much with the pricing of this little red shrimp, as long as the price is not too high, so that those who come to Xiangyunlou can afford it, but this chili pepper is only available in the Houguo Mansion, but the Huguo Mansion is not charity, not to mention that Xiangyunlou is not short of money, so this chili pepper is sold to Xiangyunlou by the Huguo Houfu."

"Then how is Miss Meng going to sell it?"

"It's not as good as this, this chili pepper is the main seasoning of the dish, I believe that many people have eaten the dish made of this green worm, if there is no chili pepper, even if you use pepper, there will definitely be flaws, and although the sale is Xiangyunlou, but my technology is mine, it is better to do this, I take the technology into shares, no matter how much silver this dish sells, I want to share fifty percent of the profits."

The shopkeeper frowned: "Miss Meng, this requirement is a bit much, only fifty percent of the profit, you must know that we have a lot of guys in Xiangyun Building who have to pay wages, and this cost is calculated in it, but it costs a lot of silver taels."

Is this a labor cost with yourself?

Meng Wei had already expected it, and did not back down on her face: "The shopkeeper's words are indeed reasonable, but have you ever thought about the shopkeeper, this crayfish is only the most suitable for eating in summer, not to mention the small size at other times, and it is pitiful, so such a rare opportunity, and the little marquis of the Protector's Mansion appreciated and said that the good dishes will definitely make many people want to try." ”

"I believe that there will be a lot of people who will come to Xiangyunlou because of this dish, and they will definitely not only eat this dish, just like the little two in this restaurant, they will definitely not serve only one dish, so if the shopkeeper wants to count it like this, wouldn't it be those who come here because of the spicy little red shrimp dish, and the other dishes they order will also be counted in it?"

The shopkeeper was dumbfounded for a moment, he has been running Xiangyun Building for many years, and he has dealt with a lot of people, including people with noble status, and people with slippery heads, but none of them are as reasonable and well-founded as Meng Wei at such a young age, and the head is a person of the Tao.

However, in this analogy, the shopkeeper cares the most, but he can't refute it.

Seeing this, Meng Wei smiled faintly, and gave the shopkeeper a step: "Shopkeeper, I naturally want to cooperate well with Xiangyunlou, you must know that our little marquis likes to eat in Xiangyunlou, and this little red shrimp is a pest of crops, if Xiangyunlou launches this dish, there will be fewer pests, the harvest will be good, and the people will make more money because of this, I believe that many people will remember the good of Xiangyunlou." ”

"On the contrary, if the shopkeeper feels that he is still at a loss by doing this, then the restaurant that wants to make the business more popular may not necessarily be Xiangyunlou, right?"

The shopkeeper didn't laugh angrily: "Did you teach you what the little marquis said?" Or does the Protector Mansion want to get a share of Xiangyunlou's business? ”

Meng Wei stretched out her index finger and shook it: "You are the shopkeeper, you have misunderstood, the little marquis is for the sake of those people and agreed to me to donate this dish for the harvest, naturally, part of it is also for the sake of Xiangyunlou to be able to have oral administration in the future, and it has nothing to do with the Hou Mansion." But because of this, it is even more important to settle accounts in terms of money. ”
