CHAPTER XXXIII

The shopkeeper thought about it left and right, glanced at An Xi in embarrassment, and finally decided to let her go to see the shopkeeper.

He didn't believe it, and when the shopkeeper personally blasted her out, what else did this little girl say!

"Okay, you can go in, but I still have to remind you, if you are blasted out of the hall later, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Well, the two of them are not so bad, they are just tainted with some vulgarity in the world, An Xi thought.

"Well, don't worry, when the time comes, your shopkeeper really doesn't want to see me, I don't need him to bang, I will go out myself!"

"Then go in by yourself."

The shopkeeper stood aside and made room for An Xi to enter the door.

An Xi raised his feet and was about to go in, when he suddenly remembered that there were so many people here, how did he know which one was the shopkeeper......

raised a big smiling face, looked at the little two next to him and asked.

"Where is your treasurer, and can you show me?" There are so many people in there, and if I look for it, I'll be like a headless fly. ”

"Now, do you see? The one standing by the counter, holding an abacus in his hand, some of them is round, and he is the shopkeeper of our house. ”

An Xi thanked Xiao Er, and finally looked at him squarely, after all, there have been some big changes before and after, and she hasn't adapted yet, but it can be seen that Xiao Er is not bad.

Walk in and stand in front of the counter.

Looking at the pot-bellied and rounded middle-aged man in front of him, An Xi asked politely.

"Are you the shopkeeper of this restaurant?"

Pang Mouren, who was calculating, glanced up at her, ignored An Xi, and continued to bury his head in yesterday's account books.

An Xi knew that she was being ignored, forget it, she would better go straight to the topic.

"I came here and heard that Manchengxiang is the best restaurant in Hezi Town, so I want to try my luck here, I have the secret recipe of the ancestor cooking here, I don't know if the shopkeeper is not interested in the secret recipe in my hand?"

Pang was about to make a move, raised his head, and looked at Anxi carefully with slightly squinted eyes.

"The secret ingredient? What's the secret ingredient? Little girl, you have to know that in my place, the most important thing is the secret recipe for cooking, if the secret recipe handed down by your ancestors is too ordinary and ordinary, it will not be able to enter the eyes of the city incense, and it will not be able to get on the table of the city incense. ”

"Shopkeeper, you take me to the kitchen first, I'll show you a hand, when the time comes, you can taste it, if you are satisfied, we will talk about the price, if you are not satisfied, you don't need to say, I will take the initiative to leave, do not interfere with your business."

Pang finally took a closer look at An Xi for a few minutes, revealing a pleasant smile.

Thinking that the girl looks young, but has the mind of an adult, and knows how to impress him.

He was indeed curious about the secret recipe in her mouth.

After thinking about it, I had plenty of time today, and I didn't mind wasting some time accompanying her to the kitchen to see what tricks she could play.

"Okay, thank you shopkeeper for giving me a chance, I will definitely not let you down!"

An Xi smiled generously and said a shoe to someone Pang.

Then he followed him into the kitchen with small steps.

As soon as he walked in, Anxi couldn't help but marvel.

This is worthy of the kitchen of a big restaurant, it is so big as a room, and there are three or two cooks standing side by side in it.

One of them is in charge, one is chopping meat with a sharp kitchen knife, and the other is helping to wash the vegetables and meat.

From time to time, a guy from the shop walked briskly and carefully served the cooked food.

At this time, An Xi walked in, and the three cooks were a little stunned.

Seeing that there was also the shopkeeper who came in with her, she didn't dare to say more, but she was surprised in her heart, what is she doing here with a female doll in this kitchen?

However, the most taboo thing in the main family is that the people below are too curious and nosy about the affairs of the main family.

Therefore, the three cooks, and the guys who walk in from time to time, are also very discerning, don't ask what they shouldn't ask, and don't look at what they shouldn't see.

"Ahem, shopkeeper, that, the secret recipe passed down by my family, it's inconvenient to use it in a place where there are people, I don't know if it's ......"

"Little girl, this is difficult, now is the most lively time in the restaurant, just after the rain, more people come to the restaurant for a pastime."

Although Pang is obese, with a large waist and a thick waist, thick eyebrows and double chin, a wide forehead and a generous face, it does not affect his wealth at all.

The key is that he often wears a kind and tolerant smile, and everyone who has dealt with him feels very comfortable.

Anxi is no exception, and the shopkeeper treats her much kinder.

If you want to change to other snobbies, I'm afraid that Anxi will suffer a lot of humiliation.

But Pang someone's words are up to the point, and she also understands.

It's nothing more than that you can't delay your business because of her.

It's not that Anxi doesn't like to cook in the same room as others, it's just that the recipe of her dishes is really simple and easy to learn......

However, as far as she knows, although the menu she has in her mind is simple, it is a new thing to the world, and it should be able to become famous in the short term.

Seeing that An Xi was deep in thought, Pang smiled heartily.

"Little girl, although I can't spare a separate kitchen for you, you can rest assured, these cooks and guys definitely don't dare to look at you more."

"That's good, then I'll get started."

Since there is a shopkeeper's opening guarantee, Anxi has always believed in his own consciousness.

Consciously told her that this shopkeeper should be a good person, so what he promised should be credible.

Thinking about it like this, I was relieved to make a meal in the kitchen.

The tomatoes from that day were cut with a knife and served in a large bowl, and Anxi wrung out a coarse cloth damp with water and pasted it around the outside of the bowl.

Then he carefully brought the bowl to Pang with a coarse cloth.

I made a gesture of please and stood up with a smile.

Pang looked at her with crooked eyebrows, smiled, and stood on the side with confidence.

He smiled, picked up a pair of chopsticks on the table, and looked at the knife-cut noodles with rich condiments, the hot soup boiling red, and the rich fragrance.

He suddenly became more interested in this knife cut, and he couldn't help but salivate, and his index finger moved.

He picked up a noodle and tasted it carefully, the noodles were chewy, and the soup he absorbed was also delicious.

Pang picked up the bowl and drank the soup in a big gulp, and suddenly felt that the soup accompanied by tomatoes was a little different.

It seems that no one has ever dared to try this before.

Pang someone approached the bowl to eat, and there was a smell of aroma coming to his nose, he couldn't resist the temptation, and gulped down the noodles in the bowl.

After a while, the big bowl was empty, and Pang seemed to be still not satisfied, and licked the corners of his mouth.

"Is this really your family's ancestral?"

Pang someone's face was full of smiles, wiped the corners of his mouth indifferently, and looked at An Xi with a pair of hot eyes.

An Xi nodded and replied, "Yes, it is the recipe handed down by the ancestors, and others don't know it, but the family does ...... That's why I had to sell the recipes. ”

An Xi lowered his head, pretending to be very reluctant and helpless on his face, sighing from time to time, lamenting his misery.

Seeing that she was so pitiful, Pang had a plan in his heart.

"Little girl, your ancestral recipe is really extraordinary, I dare to say, once it is sold here in Manchengxiang, it will definitely attract the attention of guests."

Seeing that Pang was so satisfied with the tomato knife noodles he made, An Xi was really relieved in his heart.

"Shopkeeper, in fact, I came here to sell this recipe to your restaurant, I don't know, how much price does the shopkeeper want to take this recipe?"

An Xi asked tentatively, focusing his attention on Pang someone, wanting to consider the price through his subtle expression.

"I want to buy this recipe, but I have a request, if you are willing to agree, the price is negotiable."

"The shopkeeper, please say, what is the request, if it is not too much, you can agree."

"This recipe, once I buy it, naturally I can't sell it to anyone else, I don't know what the girl thinks?"

An Xi's round eyes rolled and asked.

"In other words, even if I sell the recipe, I can continue to use it myself, right?"

"No, no, it's not mine, I didn't make it clear, what I mean, it also represents the meaning of Manchengxiang, once you buy your recipe, even you can't use it anymore, the girl should think about it carefully."

Pang explained with a smile.

An Xi muttered in her heart, the other party is going to buy out her recipes, but it doesn't matter, there are many recipes in her mind, buy out, buy out, if the other party buys out, the price, hehehe.

"I've thought about it, and I can promise you that even myself and my family won't make this dish again, but in this case, I may sell this recipe more expensive."

"Girl, you might as well talk about the price in your heart."

An Xi thought about it and felt that it was better to let the other party say the price first, so that she could know what the price of her recipe was in the eyes of the other party.

Second, she can also add more points according to the other party's price.

"Shopkeeper, let's talk about it first, in your eyes, how much is my recipe worth?"

An Xi asked very directly.

"How about three hundred taels?"

Three hundred taels? It was a little higher than she expected, but she didn't want to compromise so easily.

"Can you have more?" An Xi asked cautiously.

Pang glanced at An Xi and thought for a while.

"Little girl, how much do you want? Let's get it straight. ”

So easy to talk to?

"Well, how about an extra hundred taels?"

"Four hundred taels?"

An Xi nodded.

"Yes, that's four hundred taels."

Pang frowned and pondered, is this four hundred taels too much?

An Xi was also beating a drum in her heart, and she regretted it a little as soon as she said it, as if she really raised the price, but she couldn't take it back if she said it.

She was also a little nervous about her little heart at this time, and her heart was both expectant and panicked.

"Okay, four hundred taels is four hundred taels, but the girl must remember the conditions you agreed to."

An Xi was a little overjoyed, and there was no way to describe the excitement in his heart.

She can say that she just said it casually, but she didn't think it could really be done!

After the shopkeeper gave her four hundred taels, and asked her to press her finger print on the contract, An Xi held the heavy silver in his hand and smiled from ear to ear.

Thinking that it was not convenient to store such a heavy silver ingot.

An Xi asked the shopkeeper again to change the silver ticket, and then found a corner to avoid the sight of others, folded the four hundred taels and put them in his clothes.

She learned the lesson that money is not exposed, and hid it well, after all, the thin monkey incident left a shadow in her heart.

Walking out of the city full of incense, An Xi walked with irrepressible joy and rushed towards the direction of Ginseng Zhilin.

The small umbrella in her hand was also swayed by her.

She was very happy along the way, and also bought a few more meat buns and rock sugar gourds.

After she left, Pang transcribed the recipe she left behind on a clean white paper.

Then when no one was around, he tied the note to the right foot of the domesticated white pigeon.

As soon as it let go, the white dove vibrated its powerful wings in the direction of the set and roamed in the vast sky.

A few days later, the note on the white dove's right foot was removed and handed to a mysterious man.
