Chapter 53: On Cooperation

"What?"

Even Li Chuxia, who was as calm as usual, was a little panicked at this time, after all, it was the silver that he had transferred for several years, and now he is gone, so how can he get it!

"Not only is the silver gone, but even the coachman is gone." Wei Jingran had a rare look of panic at this time, although he could barely get 100,000 taels of silver, but this silver was not his own, but Li Chuxia's, so how should he explain to her now.

Li Chuxia only panicked for a moment before stabilizing his expression, and said to Wei Jingran next to him, "Report to the official." ”

"Okay."

Originally, he was going to deposit silver, but the 100,000 taels of silver disappeared when he couldn't say it, which made Boss Li of Qianzhuang a little baffled and confused.

However, as a party, Boss Li was also arrested at this time and went to Kaifeng Mansion in the capital to inquire about specific matters.

Li Chuxia looked at the Kaifeng Mansion in the capital to be different from the ordinary yamen in the local area, and his attitude towards doing things was many times better than that of the ordinary yamen.

After receiving the report, the people of Kaifeng Mansion took the lead in asking Li Chuxia and Wei Jingran to follow them to make records, and the two of them told everything about the previous events in great detail.

Because 100,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, so after Kaifeng Mansion opened the case, he quickly sent officers and soldiers out to find the carriage, and it was very easy to hide a carriage in the huge capital, so the officers and soldiers did not dare to slack off, after all, the amount of silver was very huge.

"Don't worry about early summer, if you can't recover this silver, then I will definitely compensate you."

Wei Jingran was also annoyed at this time, when he got off the carriage, he didn't notice that something was wrong with the coachman, and now that the coachman ran away with the silver, he would be to blame if he couldn't catch it back.

"It doesn't matter, the friendship between you and me is naturally much more expensive than the 100,000 taels of silver, if I really can't get it back, then I will admit it myself, and it's easy for me to earn back 100,000 taels of silver."

Li Chuxia knew that Wei Jingran was not joking with himself when he said this, what he said was always done, but it was still very easy for her to earn this amount of money in the capital, but the hard work was the money she earned a few years ago when she was busy with the drunken spring breeze.

"Early summer, I'm sorry, if I had paid attention earlier, it would have been wrong, and such a thing would not have happened."

Wei Jingran didn't listen to Li Chuxia's words at all at this time, and attributed all the responsibility to his own carelessness.

"It's okay, don't you take all the wrong things on yourself, don't you believe in my ability? It's easy for me to get that money back. ”

When Li Chuxia was talking at this time, he had already conceived a lot of plans in his mind to pave the way for himself to make money in the future, after all, this was an ancient time when science and technology were not developed, and there was no such thing as monitoring, so it would be even more difficult to recover so much money.

"No, I do." Wei Jingran believes very much that Li Chuxia has the ability to earn a lot of silver, she has never been an ordinary woman.

Li Chuxia laughed at this moment, and then patted him on the shoulder with his hand, "That's it, why are you putting yourself under so much pressure?" I don't blame you. ”

After the two of them came out of Kaifeng Mansion at this time, Li Chuxia directly asked Wei Jingran to take him to Guiyuefang, the largest pastry shop in the capital, after all, the pastries he had just eaten in Qianzhuang came from there.

After coming to the pastry shop, Li Chuxia basically tasted all the pastries that were put out, of course, he is now penniless, and all the money was given by Wei Jingran.

"Shopkeeper, did your pastry chef here invite another one, or did your boss make it himself?"

Li Chuxia casually grabbed a busy shopkeeper and asked him, and she held a piece of salty pastry in her hand, looking at the delicate patterns printed on it and the three words Guiyuefang, she felt that this pastry was well done, and if it was sold in a modern dessert shop, it would also be able to gain a ticket of foodie.

"The girl must be a foreigner, right? This is made by our boss and hostess, and the pastries we have here are hand-made in the palace, and the taste is naturally different. ”

The tone of the shopkeeper revealed pride, as if he was a person in the palace, and he had two more points of condescension.

Li Chuxia nodded thoughtfully, after all, what needs to be made for the most noble people in the world must be made more exquisitely, and he can understand the reason why these pastries are so good.

"Then can you introduce your boss or the boss's wife, I have a business to talk to them." Li Chuxia smiled and looked at the shopkeeper in front of him.

The shopkeeper naturally looked at the Li Chuxia in front of him with his eyes, looking at this girl who was dressed plainly, but the luxury on her body was not inferior to the young lady of everyone's door, and this girl looked quite beautiful, even if she wanted to refuse in her heart, she couldn't say it at this time.

"Our boss and lady don't see customers on weekdays, they are busy making pastries in the back kitchen, and now if you want to meet them, I'm afraid it's not good." Even though the shopkeeper couldn't say anything about refusal, he couldn't help but shrink his neck when he thought of his boss's hot temper, so he continued to reject Li Chuxia in front of him.

"You just need to tell them that the secret recipe I have in my hand can solve the problem they have in their hands at the moment."

Li Chuxia looked at the shopkeeper in front of him very confidently, his eyes blinked and blinked, hoping that he could be moved by the expectation in his eyes, in fact, he was learning from Li Chuyun's usual coquettish appearance.

The shopkeeper was embarrassed by Li Chuxia at this time, and his originally dark face also revealed a little red, which was really a little bad, and he refused the beauty in front of him, so he said awkwardly: "Since the girl wants to see our boss and the proprietress so much, then I will go to the back to inform you." ”

"Thank you very much."

Li Chuxia smiled at this time, and shook the eyes of the shopkeeper again.

Wei Jingran was standing next to him at this time, and smiled helplessly, he had long been accustomed to Li Chuxia's way of begging for help.

However, Li Chuxia disagreed, this is her most unique advantage as a woman, since she can rely on herself, her appearance can impress the other party, and she can let the other party open a small back door for herself, so why not?

Anyway, there are a lot of their own pieces of meat, and just a look can make people help themselves, which is the most cost-effective deal.

Although this is a bit contrary to the messy female virtues and female rings of women in this era, she is Li Chuxia who has traveled from modern times, and of course she wants to use her own advantages.

After a while, the shopkeeper came to invite Li Chuxia and Wei Jingran to the backyard, which was very clear, meaning that the boss was willing to see them.

When the two arrived in the backyard, they saw a woman in an apron, who was sorting out her clothes with her back to them.

The shopkeeper respectfully walked to the woman's side, bent down and bowed and whispered, "Liuniang, these are the two guests outside who want to see you." ”

"Coming?"

The woman called Liuniang turned to look at the two people in front of her, a look of surprise crossed her eyes, and then she immediately stretched out her hand to let Li Chuxia and the two sit down.

"I'm Liu Niang, the proprietress of this pastry shop." Liuniang introduced herself with a big grin.

Li Chuxia looked at her with a smile, "Hello, I'm Li Chuxia." ”

"Down, Wei Jingran." Wei Jingran also had a smile on the corner of his mouth at this time.

Liuniang lifted her skirt and sat on the stool very boldly, and then poured herself a cup of tea, "Didn't you say that you could solve my problem?" How so? ”

"Some of your pastries are not viscous enough, so some are loose, but some pastries are affected by the taste because of too much leaven, in fact, you don't need any special methods at all, you just need to write down the dosage of the best pastry every time, and then use a fine scale to record the gram size of each time, and the things that come out will be the same every time."

Li Chuxia didn't hide it at this time, after all, she didn't have a special method, she made pastries a few times ago because she didn't have a good grasp of the gram, so the pastries were sometimes difficult to eat, so she went to the pharmacy to buy a more delicate scale, which was a good grasp of the degree.

At this time, Liu Niang looked at Li Chuxia as if she had suddenly realized, and even forgot to close her mouth when she was surprised.

"Why didn't I think of this?" When Liuniang muttered to herself, she couldn't help but look at Li Chuxia with her eyes.

If this woman can eat the subtle differences in her pastry, it means that she is not a layman.

"Presumably the girl didn't come here to tell me how to make the pastries taste better, did she?" Liu Niang understood Li Chuxia's thoughts at a glance.

"Nature." Li Chuxia laughed at this time, after all, she liked Liuniang's bold personality very much, because she was not the kind of person who was pretentious, "I came here this time to talk about cooperation with Liuniang, because I can make better pastries, so I want to put my pastries to you to sell." ”

"The girl must also know that my Guiyuefang is not an ordinary shop, this is for the palace."

The appreciation on Liuniang's face at this time was also put away, but it was not just a person who could cooperate with Guiyuefang.

"Since I dare to come, I will naturally be able to come with the ability."

Li Chuxia can understand Liuniang's worries, so she is even more undisguised at this time.

"If Liuniang doesn't believe me, can I borrow your kitchen?"

When Li Chuxia said this, his eyes glanced at Wei Jingran next to him lightly.

However, Wei Jingran, who suddenly received the look, also smiled faintly, the meaning in her eyes was that he himself had a good mouth today.
