Chapter Seventy-Three: Charisma Decreased
Since there were not many seasonings, Bai Ling boiled bone broth to make the soup base, the original hot pot, with spicy dipping sauce, Bai Ling was still acceptable.
Soon the family sat on the kang table, looking at the raw ingredients on the table, and Bai Ling made a demonstration.
"Whatever you like to eat, just put it in a pot and soak it, and when it changes color, you can take it out and eat it with this dipping sauce." Bai Ling first soaked a rape and tasted it carefully.
"It's easy, everyone try it quickly." Bai Sanshu picked up the chopsticks and put the mutton in first.
The Bai Liu clan also did the same, but Bai Xiaoshan was forbidden to do it himself, for fear that he would burn himself.
The family was eating vigorously, and Bai Sanshu also drank a few sips of wine, but heard someone shouting outside the door.
"Is this the Bai family, which sells fried chestnuts with sugar?" A man's voice sounded, and it sounded very unfamiliar.
"I'll take a look." Bai Sanshu said and was about to get up.
"I'd better go." Bai Ling sat on the edge of the kang, and it was convenient to go to the ground.
After putting on his padded jacket, Bai Ling opened the door and saw a carriage parked at the gate, which he knew from the appearance that it was a rich family's carriage.
With a raised eyebrow, Bai Ling walked towards the door, but he couldn't guess whose carriage belonged to, and the logo of that paragraph should be the surname of the main family.
"Who are you looking for?" Bai Ling asked.
"Young master of our family, look for the Bai family who sells chestnuts in the town." The coachman replied.
"Our family is, I don't know what happened to your young master looking for us?" Bai Ling asked.
"Aren't you here? My young master came all the way here, even with a cup of hot tea...... Hot water is not prepared, and the countrymen really don't know how to be hospitable. The coachman said with some displeasure.
"Has someone invited your young master? Uninvited, how to count guests? Bai Ling asked coldly, even more unhappy than the coachman.
After traveling for so long, he was disturbed by eating hot pot for the first time, and Bai Ling's mood was naturally not good.
The most important thing is that the young master on the other side was silent in the carriage, which was clearly a way of looking down on the farmers.
"You peasant girl...... " the coachman raised his voice, and the expression on his face became fierce.
"Apologize." There was a gentle voice from the carriage, but it was very commanding.
"I'm sorry." The coachman reluctantly spoke, and only said three words.
Bai Ling glanced at the coachman, looked at the carriage and asked, "I don't know what this son is here for?" My father and mother are not in good health, so I can't help but be scared, just tell me if my son has something. ”
"What do you eat? This tastes ......" Young Master Duan spoke again, and the next moment he opened the car door and walked out, brushing the hand that the driver stretched out to support, and jumped out of the carriage.
Bai Ling looked at Young Master Duan, whose face was like a crown of jade, and his brows furrowed again.
"This son, please stay ......" Bai Ling stopped talking before he finished speaking.
I saw that Young Master Duan, who was wearing brocade, had already walked towards the courtyard, as if he hadn't heard Bai Ling's words.
Quickly followed, Bai Ling had the intention to intercept Young Master Duan at the door, but it happened that Bai Wei came out to see the situation, and Young Master Duan turned sideways and entered the house directly.
"Second sister, who is this?" Bai Wei asked with a blank face.
"Rubbing rice." Bai Ling gritted his teeth.
Bai Wei was stunned, and when she saw that Bai Ling's face was not good, she didn't ask anymore, but she didn't believe that Young Master Duan, who was dressed so well, would be the one who rubbed rice.
Just before the two sisters said such a sentence, Young Master Duan had already spoken: "The junior took the liberty to come here, smelled the smell of the rice, and invited the uncle and aunt to forgive me." ”
"Childe, do you want to eat together?" Bai Sanshu asked subconsciously.
Bai Ling slapped his head, but he couldn't say anything if he refused, otherwise he would be slapping his father in the face, and said: "Our family has already eaten half of it, if the son is used to eating other people's saliva, you can sit down and eat together." ”
After speaking, Bai Ling sat in his place, scooped up the vegetables and ate them.
Bai Sanshu smiled awkwardly, but it was not because of Bai Ling's actions, but because he shouldn't have opened his mouth to invite.
Who knew that after Young Master Duan hesitated for a while, he nodded and said, "It's bothering." ”
Seeing that Young Master Duan took off the cotton cloak, Bai Wei had to go to the kitchen to add dishes and chopsticks.
Bai Sanshu enthusiastically introduced how to eat the hot pot, but the family's appetite was reduced by the addition of Young Master Duan.
It was really Young Master Duan's eating that looked too sven, but he ate more and faster than anyone else, which made the Bai family wonder if he had been hungry for several days.
Bai Liu's motherly love was overflowing: "Do you want me to add more meat?" ”
Young Master Duan was just about to nod his head, but Bai Ling spoke: "There is no meat in the kitchen, so I bought these." ”
Bai Liu's fox looked at Bai Ling suspiciously, she had clearly said that there was still a kitchen before, and it was not enough to add more.
Pretending not to notice Bai Liu's gaze, Bai Ling looked at Young Master Duan and asked, "Say, why did you come to the door?" The countrymen go to bed early, and my family doesn't have the money to light a lamp and boil oil. ”
Bai Ling's attitude was very unkind, but Young Master Duan didn't care much, under the attention of the Bai family, he wiped it slowly, wiped every finger clean, and then spoke: "I am the young owner of the Duan family in Fucheng, Duan Yulang, my family has opened a lot of candy shops, I heard that your sugar fried chestnuts are good, so I want to buy the ......"
"Stop!" Bai Ling crossed his hands, looked at Duan Yulang speechlessly, and asked: "Since Duan Gongzi is a businessman, I would like to ask Duan Gongzi, in exchange for Duan Gongzi has a recipe in his hand, does Duan Gongzi want to make money in a long way and feed a large family, or is it a hammer deal, and from now on, sit on the mountain and eat nothing?" ”
Duan Yulang was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Bai Ling to speak idioms.
Well, that's not the point.
"I understand what the white girl means, what if the money I give you is enough for your family to do a little business? This sugar-fried chestnut should not be difficult to make, there are many masters of fried dried fruits under the Duan family, once they study it, there will be nothing to do with the white girl. Duan Yulang said.
Bai Ling narrowed his eyes, and naturally understood this truth.
"Duan Gongzi means that he wants to use strong means?" Bai Ling asked in a calm tone.
Bai Sanshu and the others' faces changed greatly, what they were most afraid of was that these rich people would use their identities to oppress people, where would they be able to keep their peasant families.
"If my son wants to use a strong one, does he still need to talk to you well?" Duan Yulang flicked the sleeves of his shirt that were not dusty, put away the smile on his face, and said disdainfully: "My son has always paid attention to your love and my wishes when doing business. The reputation of the Duan family is more valuable than silver. ”
The whole family breathed a sigh of relief, and even Bai Ling was a lot more relieved.
Sensing that the eyes of the whole family fell on him, Bai Ling was helpless, but he still spoke: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Duan Gongzi, at this time, even if Duan Gongzi takes the prescription, he can't find the chestnuts." If Duan Gongzi is really interested in fried chestnuts with sugar, he might as well discuss it next year. ”
"Interesting, don't want the silver sent to the door, this is the first time that Young Master Ben has seen it." Looking at Bai Ling, and then his gaze fell on the table, Duan Yulang's eyes flashed, and asked: "The matter of fried chestnuts with sugar, the white girl had better think about it, after all, next year, it is unknown whether Young Master Ben is willing to give money." ”
Bai Ling was silent, only looking at Duan Yulang, wanting to know his ultimate purpose.
Duan Yulang's ears were a little hot when he was looked at by Bai Ling's direct gaze, and for the first time he wondered if his charm value had decreased, otherwise why would Bai Ling hate him all the time, and it was so difficult to communicate.
