Chapter 75: The First Pot of Gold
When the peppercorns finished this wave of people in line, there were only two elbows left at the bottom of the basin.
She sat down and started the best time of the day, counting the copper coins and putting them on with straw ropes, for more than a month, she had basically figured out the tastes of the people here, and was fully confident that she would retain those old customers.
As long as there are repeat customers, she doesn't worry about losing business.
The woman in purple lifted the hem of her skirt at this time, and Ying Ying stepped forward and asked, "May I ask if you are the owner of Qilixiang's private dishes?" ”
"Exactly." Hua Jiao hurriedly put the copper coin away, got up and said with a smile, "There are only two elbows left, fifty wen one, do you want one or two?" ”
"Wrap it all up!" The woman in purple took off her hat, revealing a young and beautiful face, and smiled at the pepper, "A few days ago, my groom and my father bought elbows from you, and everyone in our family tasted delicious, but unfortunately my chef didn't make this taste in your store after making it at home a few times, my father specially asked me to come and ask you, are you willing to sell us the formula?" ”
"Of course not!" Sichuan Pepper said confidently, "Doesn't the girl know that the recipe is the lifeblood of a store?" ”
If everybody can do it, what else does she earn?
"But I was abrupt." The woman in purple knew that she was wrong, and said apologetically, "Girl, don't get me wrong, we really like the braised pork and braised pork made by your family before we came to the door, we don't want your recipe, but we want to be able to eat such delicious elbows and braised pork at any time." ”
"Let's put it this way, even if I give you the formula, you will never be able to make me taste like this." "Because the seasonings and spices I use are all picked and prepared by myself, this is not a recipe that can be made, if you want to eat, you can come to my store to make a reservation, if the distance is not far, we can also deliver." ”
Unless they buy Tiger Roaring Hill as well.
The spices and spices on the market will never make this taste, and not everyone can boil the nectar of the sugar tree.
"I see." The woman in purple smiled and said, "Then I'll order a hundred pork knuckles and fifty catties of braised pork of various colors first, and come to pick up the goods at noon tomorrow, okay?" ”
A hundred pork knuckles!
Hua Jiao was secretly happy in his heart, but said calmly on his face: "Okay, but you have to pay a deposit of five taels of silver first." ”
"Okay, no problem." The woman in purple nodded, "Before that, please help me wrap fifty of the pork elbows in oiled paper, my grandmother will celebrate her birthday tomorrow, and my father plans to use them as a gift in return, and the remaining fifty elbows and braised pork are all used on the table, just pack them separately." ”
The little girl next to her was busy weighing five taels of silver with a small scale and giving peppercorns.
"No problem." Hua Jiao took the silver and said with a smile, "Just come and pick up the goods before noon tomorrow." ”
After the woman in purple left, the pepper was still a little dizzy, and such a business smashed her head without warning?
Lao Li Tou and Lao Lin Tou learned that Huajiao had taken over such a large business, and they all said that there was no problem: "As long as the goods can be supplied, they will not be delayed." ”
Hua Jiao asked them to go back to rest first, and he hurriedly discussed the matter with Zhang Butcher.
"Okay, that's fine." Zhang Tuhu patted his chest and said, "I'll say hello to the other merchants and ask them to send their elbows to me as soon as possible, a hundred elbows, if they can make up, they can't be delayed." ”
After setting the elbow, Sichuan Jiao went to the grocery store to buy oiled paper.
When I returned to the store, I boiled the paste with noodles and carefully designed a wrapping paper bag, thinking that if I wrote Qilixiang's private dishes and specific addresses on the paper bag, it would also bring some repeat customers!
It just so happened that Cheng Shen walked in with square steps, saw that the pepper was pasting paper bags, and quipped: "Oh, business is so good every day, do you still make money by pasting paper bags?" You're really out of the money. ”
"This is for elbows." Hua Jiao smiled at him, "I want to write the name and address of the store on these paper bags, but unfortunately I can't handle my words, please ask Cheng Gongzi to help write it!" ”
She really didn't dare to compliment her calligraphy.
But Cheng Shen is a reader, and his words must be good.
"That's easy to say." Cheng Shen rushed back to the dumpling restaurant to get pen and ink, pulled a stool and sat opposite the peppercorns, rolled up his sleeves and typed a draft on the paper, and asked, "Is this what you write?" ”
"That's right, that's it." Sure enough, the words are good, and the pepper is very satisfied.
"Sichuan pepper, your business is getting bigger and bigger." Cheng Shen wrote on the back of the paper bag with great interest, and said with a smile, "My father and mother said, no one in our North City has been in such a long line to buy food, and you are the only one." ”
"Maybe it's because I sell braised meat, it's just me!" Sichuan pepper laughed.
The restaurants here in North City are relatively tall.
Her braised meat shop is actually the most inconspicuous one.
There was no way, I didn't have any money at that time, so I could only build such a big store.
"Modest." Cheng Shen said, "I won't let you have a treat, what are you afraid of." ”
"It's okay, I'll treat you to dumplings." Hua Jiao joked, "I'm worried that you don't appreciate it." ”
Cheng Shen laughed: "Why don't you invite me to eat elbows!" ”
The two were talking and laughing, Pei Ze stepped in, and seeing that Cheng Shen was also there, he said quietly: "It's time to go home." ”
Lonely men and widows talk and laugh together.
What is the system......
"Third brother, I took over a big deal today, and I won't go back tonight." Hua Jiao told Pei Ze about the purple-clothed woman's order, "Zhang Butcher said that the meat will be sent before the hour, and if I go home, I'm afraid it will be too late." ”
"And where are you going to live?" Pei Ze asked expressionlessly.
Is she really for this business, or is it for this little white face?
Hua Jiao saw Pei Ze's cold face, but he didn't care, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he said truthfully: "I'll go to my cousin's place to squint for a while, and then come over with my uncle." ”
Pei Ze said without thinking: "Okay, I just have something to do yet, so let's live with you!" ”
"Huajiao, your third brother is so good." Cheng Shen didn't seem to notice Pei Ze's stinky face, and smiled at Pei Ze, "Dare to ask where Brother Hua is?" ”
"Brother Tai, my surname is Pei!" Pei Ze corrected, "You can just call me Pei Ze." ”
"Surname Pei? What about you guys? Cheng Shen looked at Huajiao suspiciously, and Huajiao said lightly: "His surname is Pei, can't I call him the third brother?" ”
"Oh, so you're cousins!" Cheng Shen realized.
Pei Ze's face darkened, and he raised his legs and left.
"Huajiao, your third brother seems to be angry." Cheng Shen finally saw that Pei Ze was wrong, thought about it, and asked, "Does he like you?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense." Huajiao didn't want to face this problem head-on, let alone discuss her relationship with Pei Ze with Cheng Shen.
Pei Ze is good to her, and he also reveals that he wants to marry her.
But that doesn't mean he likes her.
He is an ancient, he believes in the words of his parents, even if he doesn't like it, he acquiesces to the fact that she is his daughter-in-law.
But she is different, she doesn't want this kind of marriage without any feelings.
Even if this was in ancient times.
"Sichuan pepper, I look at people very accurately." Cheng Shen looked at Huajiao with heavy eyes, and said firmly, "He should like you." ”
