Chapter 11: Shopkeeper, my family's braised plum water is the best

Grandma is so nasty! How many questions!

Lin Huan'er turned her back to Zeng, and she opened her mouth. Li Zheng said that anything can be pushed on him in the future, and he will help keep it secret after he collects hush money.

But if you say it, won't it become yourself deceiving grandma?

Grandma is so good to herself......

She put herself back into the quilt in annoyance, "Grandma will go ask Li Zheng tomorrow, I'm sleeping." ”

Zeng was relieved, "Li Zheng's family taught you again?" After a while, she didn't hear a response, she listened attentively, and lay back on the quilt herself.

Early the next morning, Zeng called Lin Huan'er up and stuffed her with a basket of picked and cleaned vegetables.

Lin Huan'er had no choice but to knock on the door of the Li family with grandma's heart.

It was Li Zheng who opened the door, and when he saw Lin Huan'er, he curled the corners of his mouth happily, "I heard that your business was good yesterday?" ”

Lin Huan'er nodded, "I earned more than 600 copper plates, your money will be put in my place first, and today my grandma and I will go to the town market again, and the money will be counted for you together." ”

"Don't worry," Li Zheng took the dish, like a little adult, "How are you going to sell it when you go to town?" ”

"That's it...... Just like yesterday, put the tea stall at the end of the market and sell it. Lin Huan'er thought for a while and said.

"Come over here." Li Zheng beckoned to Lin Huan'er, "I'll teach you a trick." ”

……

"Huan'er, you come to pound the plum velvet, I'll boil the water." Zeng saw that Lin Huan'er was still standing at the door of the Li family with a smile and did not move, afraid that the Li family would leave her to eat, so he hurriedly greeted.

"Grandma, don't boil the water." Lin Huan'er waved at Li Zheng and ran towards Zeng's, "I'll go and load plums." ”

On the way to the town, Lin Huan'er told Zeng that Li Zheng had just told her that there were a few mid-range and upper-grade restaurants near the wharf in the east of the town, and asked her to send the braised plum water directly to the restaurants to see if they could accept it.

The wharf is mostly full of merchants who come and go to rest and rest, these people are not afraid to spend money when they go out, it will be summer soon, and the wine is too hot, if there is cool and thirst-quenching plum water in the restaurant, they are afraid that they will not only drink it themselves, but also bring some more on the boat.

"Then why don't we go to the dock and sell it ourselves? We can make more money this way. Zeng regretted a little, "It's better to push the water out." ”

Lin Huan'er stopped talking.

She also asked Li Zheng like this, Li Zheng said this, Uncle Li can't help you if you have something today, you and Grandma Zeng, two women, are too tired to push water. Although making money is important, you and your great-grandmother are each other's pillars, and your body is more important. Do you think that if you save the time of selling plum water, you will have more time to research new foods, so that you can make money faster?

She pursed her lips and walked in front of Zeng's, her eyes were shining, she couldn't say whether she thought Li Zheng's little adult-like words were funny, or his sentence "You and Grandma Zeng are each other's pillars" made people happy.

The location of Hujia Wharf is farther than Qingshan Town, 20 years ago it was just a small wharf for the surname Hu to transport goods to his own family, and then the emperor opened the Grand Canal, the location of Hujia Wharf is just located on a tributary of the canal, people who want to transport goods from several counties near the county have to go from Hujia Wharf, and the small wharf is gradually thriving.

Now, it has formed a small settlement no less than Qingshan Town, and even their Xiaxi Village knows the reputation of Hujia Wharf, and people often come here to work and make money in their spare time.

Lin Huan'er and Zeng's arrived at the hour, and it was about nine o'clock in the morning, and the dock was already bustling.

Zeng grabbed Lin Huan'er's hand tightly, afraid that she would get lost, and took her into the most luxurious-looking restaurant, Jinyuan Restaurant. Zeng, who figured out how to sell things, was bolder than Lin Huan'er, she thought that since those merchants were not bad for money, they would definitely choose the best restaurants to eat, only such people could drink plum water and feel that it was not enough, and they had to buy some to bring on the boat.

"The shopkeeper is doing a prosperous business." As soon as she entered the door, Mrs. Zeng greeted.

She specially agreed with her granddaughter today, she would sell things first, she forgot the words, and then let her granddaughter speak. As a grandmother, she should have taken care of her granddaughter, but yesterday she sold almost all the braised plum water was her granddaughter's contribution, and later met the official, and it was also her granddaughter who was communicating with people.

This can't be done, she broke up to take care of her little granddaughter, and if she doesn't experience it, won't she become a burden to her granddaughter in the future?

Therefore, although Zeng's legs trembled slightly at this time, and her hands were cold and cold, she still maintained a smile on her face.

Standing behind the counter, the man in the money-patterned satin robe raised his head and did not answer, only to look at the grandfather and grandson at a glance.

The two of them were wearing washed white coarse cloth clothes, with a lot of patches on the tips of their shoes, and they didn't come to eat at first glance, but at a glance, they could also know that the grandparents and grandchildren were serious people, their hair was combed neatly and neatly, and their whole bodies were clean, and there was not a trace of dirt in their fingernails.

He muttered, "What's the matter?" ”

"Huh," Zeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this rich shopkeeper actually answered herself, she hurriedly put the jar in her arms on the counter, "Shopkeeper, we brought a new tea, I don't know if you can accept it?" ”

The shopkeeper lifted the wooden lid of the jar and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Braised green plums?" ”

"Shopkeeper, you can really know the goods."

The round-faced man didn't accept Zeng's flattery, "We really don't have braised plum water in Yunxi County, but I'm not untouched, it's not difficult to say that this green plum is not difficult, it's nothing more than adding sugar and salt, it can be said to be simple, but it's not simple." The ratio of sugar and salt is good, this water is not only cool and delicious, but also extremely thirst-quenching and breath-boosting, and there will be no water accumulation in the stomach after drinking, but if the ratio is not good, the water will be dull and tasteless, otherwise the more you drink, the more thirsty you will be. I wonder how your water is. ”

"Shopkeeper, you will know if you taste it." Zeng Shi took a cup directly from the counter and poured out the braised plum water in advance in the water bladder, "My family's braised plum water, not only the ratio of sugar and salt is appropriate, but the ratio of plum and water is also the best." ”

"I know you want to study hard, and you can study this ratio yourself, but isn't that time-consuming? We will do these chores for you, you only need to spend a small amount of money to buy my plums. ”

The shopkeeper picked up the cup, took a sip and carefully tasted it in his mouth, and under the nervous gaze of Mrs. Zeng, his eyebrows gradually relaxed.

"How much does this braised plum cost?"

Mrs. Zeng's heart suddenly fell to the ground, and she said sincerely, "What we sell at the temple fair is a glass of water for six yuan, and the amount of one or two in a cup will definitely not be too much to sell to you, four yuan for one tael." ”

"How many more plums do you have at home?"

"I made a big tank at home, about 100 catties of water tank."

The shopkeeper nodded, "This altar is left for me, and those in your house will be sent to me tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and I will accept them all, but I have a request, you are not allowed to sell them to other hotels." ”

He paused for a moment and looked at Zeng, who was stunned and silent, "Old lady? Can you say yes? ”
