Chapter 51: The Crab Business
Five days later, under the thoughts of everyone, Li Miaomiao opened the jar containing the drunken crab.
As soon as the lid is opened, the scent rushes into the person's nose.
Li Miaomiao saw that everyone looked expectant, and even the most serious and dignified shopkeeper Zhu couldn't help but stretch her neck to look. Seeing Li Miaomiao looking over, her face suddenly turned red, and she coughed to hide her embarrassment.
Li Miaomiao smiled, seeing that it would not be too early, so she no longer hung on everyone's taste, and one person fished out to relieve her hunger first.
She also tasted one herself, and the taste was really excellent, the fragrance of the wine was matched with the deliciousness of the crab, coupled with the assistance of the seasoning, Li Miaomiao felt that this was the most satisfying dish she had eaten since she came here.
After a few people ate a few, Li Miaomiao stopped the hands that continued to stretch out one by one, and persuaded with a smile, "Although the crab is delicious, you can't be greedy." Don't worry, I've got a lot of things to prepare here. After closing today, I will prepare some for everyone to take home, so that the family can also try it. ”
Everyone was satisfied, and said a word of thanks.
Li Miaomiao took Brother Changlin, pushed the cart that used to shop, loaded the three altars, and sent them to the shopkeeper Gu.
Brother Changlin left after delivering, he had to go back to the store to help clean up, and he could go home early.
At this moment, it is not only the shopkeeper Gu who is waiting for the storekeeper in Quanmanlou, but even the money shopkeeper of Fumanlou is also there.
Li Miaomiao was not surprised, after all, these two were Gu Xingyun's business. And the shopkeeper Gu is a businessman, and when he sees the business opportunities of this crab, he naturally wants to mention it to his own people.
Li Miaomiao sat on the side and watched the two taste with a smile, and did not speak.
Sure enough, after the two of them enjoyed eating, the shopkeeper couldn't help but take the lead in speaking, "Miao Miao's drunken crab is really delicious." ”
Li Miaomiao smiled and thanked her, "Shopkeeper Gu has a good reputation. ”
Her non-arrogant and impatient attitude made the money shopkeeper look up to her a little higher, so her attitude became more and more solemn, "We have cooperated many times, so I'll say it directly, Miao Miao is willing to sell this recipe to our restaurant." ”
"I don't want to", Li Miaomiao replied directly.
Hearing her answer, not only the money shopkeeper, but even the Gu shopkeeper couldn't help but be surprised, this girl used to be the best talker, what happened this time.
If they miss this opportunity, they will have to make a lot less. The restaurant has been opened all over the country, and the recipe provided by Li Miaomiao before has brought them a lot of profits.
So, the money shopkeeper asked, "Why, but what is Miao Miao's dissatisfaction with us", he really couldn't guess what the reason was, but seeing that Li Miaomiao was also smiling at this time, he was even more puzzled.
Li Miaomiao replied with a smile, "Naturally not." I sold the recipe to you before, but I was really short of money, but now that I am not short of it, I don't have to sell it anymore. ”
After listening to it, the money shopkeeper's brows are locked tighter, which is even more difficult to do. Shopkeeper Gu was more familiar with her, so he asked, "Does the girl have any other ideas, why don't you say it and we'll hear it." ”
Shopkeeper Gu really understood her, and Li Miaomiao stopped going around in circles, "I know that the business opportunities of this crab's new method must be good, and the profits in the future will naturally be huge." It's not impossible to cooperate, but I want to change the way of cooperation, I wonder if it's possible? ”
"Oh, how do Miao Miao want to cooperate?" The money shopkeeper asked, and some of them could be discussed.
"We are in business, I know that Brother Gu's business is big, and restaurants are all over the country. I don't think about anything else, I want a quarter of the income from all the crabs in the town and the county restaurants. ”
Li Miaomiao actually wanted to do it herself, but she didn't have a source of crabs, since Gu Xingyun Zhuangzi raised it, she definitely didn't have to worry about the source of goods. This proposal of his own is also well thought out, rather than selling the recipe to get money, it is better to have such a long-term plan.
Although they are only a town, there is no shortage of rich people. And the people take food as the sky, and there are naturally many people who are willing to spend money for the sake of appetite.
Shopkeeper Qian and Shopkeeper Gu thought for a long time, and when they saw Shopkeeper Gu nodding, he replied, "Miao Miao is really a good seedling for business, your idea is good, I agreed."
Li Miaomiao also saw that although he was also the shopkeeper under Gu Xingyun, the Gu shopkeeper was much more noble than the money shopkeeper.
So, the two made a contract, and the money shopkeeper wanted to move the drunken crab of the Gu shopkeeper to sell, but the Gu shopkeeper was strongly opposed. Seeing the two of them messing around like children, Li Miaomiao couldn't stand it anymore.
"The money shopkeeper should go to my place and move it, I still have several jars. However, you have to hurry up and get some from the people in Zhuangzi to send some. This drunken crab will take a few days to eat, as for other methods, I will go to Fumanlou to do it when the crab comes back tomorrow. ”
The two shopkeepers were naturally satisfied with her arrangement, especially when they heard that there were other methods, their eyes lit up.
The money shopkeeper naturally saw a lot of money floating in front of him. This crab may be sold in this small place, but when it comes to the capital, it is a favorite food for the nobles.
Shopkeeper Gu thought it was simpler, and the most important thing was to make him satisfied with his food.
Li Miaomiao took this person from Fumanlou to move crabs, and there were six altars here, but two altars were left. She has promised everyone, and it is not easy to break her promise.
For the remaining two jars, she packed a few copies, and there were only two old people in Zhu's shopkeeper's house, and Li Miaomiao only gave four. The Changlin family now has a family of four, and there are also two people per person, and there are eight fewer at once.
Coupled with Aunt Wang's family and Aunt Zhang's family, they didn't even have their own own.
Li Miaomiao remembered in her heart, the old mansion, Aunt Xie's, and Mr. Zhang's are all indispensable, but fortunately, if you send it tomorrow, you can eat it in five days.
didn't get the crab, and the two children didn't have any complaints, which made Li Miaomiao feel very gratified, and it was not in vain that she often taught her children to know how to share.
When she returned to the village, she sent the crab to Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wang's house, and Aunt Wang left the three of them to eat at home, and Li Miaomiao did not refuse. asked Aunt Wang to know that her little doll business was still good, and Li Miaomiao was also relieved.
Maybe it's because she has done too much, but Aunt Wang has come up with a few new tricks, and Li Miaomiao thinks it's very good.
When she returned home, it was still early, so Li Miaomiao took her two children to the study to practice calligraphy, saying that it was a study or a modified guest room. When she built the house, she neglected the study, but fortunately, she didn't need drastic changes, just moved the bed out, added a few tables and chairs, and didn't need to add a bookcase or anything for the time being, and they didn't have a few books.
The two children were carefully tracing the calligraphy, while Li Miaomiao racked her brains to think about the crab practices she had seen in her previous life. It wasn't until the two children cried out that she came up with a few things, wrote them down on paper one by one, and took the two children to sleep.
Early the next morning, as soon as Li Miaomiao arrived at the store, Xiao Er of Fumanlou came over to invite someone. After explaining the things in the store, Li Miaomiao followed the people.
Xiao Er took people directly to the back kitchen, and the money shopkeeper and a few chefs were already waiting there.
After a few words of greeting, Li Miaomiao began to teach a few people. The first thing to do is the drunken crab, which is relatively simple, that is, pay attention to the crab must be cleaned up, Li Miaomiao repeatedly warned several chefs, they did not feel annoyed at all, but deeply remembered it.
Fortunately, there was no pollution in ancient times, and it was difficult for bacteria to survive even if there were fungi in a confined environment.
Then she started the recipe of a few other dishes, spicy crab, crab with soy sauce, crab with orange, which was all the crab she could think of.
After a few dishes, it really took a lot of effort, in addition to the precautions, Li Miao Miao also told them some taboos and benefits of eating crabs, such as clearing heat and detoxifying, invigorating blood and removing phlegm, etc. As for the biggest taboo, you can't eat dead crabs, and chefs who have ever made crabs should know it.
Seeing that it was not too early, and he couldn't delay the business in his store, Li Miaomiao said goodbye to a few people and left.
The money shopkeeper respectfully sent people to the door, and Li Miaomiao at this time was in his eyes, but he was a proper God of Wealth.
"Money shopkeeper, can you order some drunken crabs for me, I want to take them back for my family and friends to taste", Li Miaomiao asked before leaving.
Isn't it just some drunken crabs, anyway, Zhuangzi raised a lot, so he naturally wouldn't refuse, "It's no problem, you just go back, I'll let Xiao Er send it to you later." ”
Li Miaomiao thanked him and left, returned to the store, and it didn't take long for the people from Fumanlou to come and give six altars. The money shopkeeper is very generous, and Li Miaomiao is naturally happy in her heart.
