Chapter 241: Pineapple

Xiao Wan's brother is called Wan Darong, a man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, but he stuttered a little, and at this time he was discussing the price of peach gum in his basket with the shopkeeper of Manfulou.

He learned from his sister-in-law Xiao Wan that such ubiquitous peach gum could be sold for one tael of silver and one pound in Yunlai Building, and he specially came to Manfulou to try his luck here, trying to see if two taels of silver and one pound could be sold.

But Wan Darong didn't expect that he was personally led into the private room by the shopkeeper of Manfulou to sit, he was afraid that his clothes would be dirty, so he was embarrassed to sit down, who knew that the shopkeeper also poured wine for him, and the good wine and good food were served, and it was all good dishes that he had never seen.

Wan Darong's eyes were spent, the whole person was in a fog, and he was a little restrained at first, but then he couldn't resist the temptation of wine and food, and drank a lot.

The shopkeeper of Manfulou saw that this vulgar man actually sold 'snow glue', so he planned to start from him, as long as he inquired about what this so-called snow glue was, he was not afraid that he would not be able to win against Yunlailou on the other side.

Now there is still a lot of snow gel left in Manfu Building, but he also spent thousands of dollars to buy it, seeing that many guests do not seem to be satisfied with the snow gel made by the cook, he is still thinking of a way to find out how to make this snow gel from Yunlai Building.

However, it was still difficult to get into the kitchen on the other side of Yunlailou, and the shopkeeper of Manfulou had not succeeded for nearly a month, but he had no intention of giving up.

Now that he has the opportunity to learn what the raw material of cidelis is, he is not going to give up.

Shen Shuisheng is a shrewd person, but Wan Darong in front of him is obviously a stupid man with a simple mind and well-developed limbs.

"What? One, one thousand taels? You're going to give me, me, a thousand, a thousand? ”

When Xiao Wan's eldest brother heard the words of the shopkeeper of Manfulou, he thought that he was having auditory hallucinations, and he reached out and slapped himself, which startled the shopkeeper of Manfulou, and he felt a little disgusted with this disdainful countryman, but with a smile on his face.

"Brother Wan, this is a thousand taels of silver tickets, and an additional two hundred taels of silver, so I should buy your basket of snow gelatin, but I have one condition, you need to tell me where you picked this snow gelatin."

Wan Darong nodded again and again, feeling that this thousand taels was too easy, he was not very smart, he didn't think about anything else at all, he had never seen a thousand taels of silver in his life, he just felt that as long as he took so much silver back, his father and his grandmother must be very happy.

After Wan Darong said that the snow gum was picked on the peach tree, the expression on the face of the shopkeeper of Manfulou remained unchanged, but as soon as the people went out, they immediately changed their faces, and immediately summoned their men to inquire where there were large peach trees in the nearby countryside, and planned to send someone to pick peach gum.

The shopkeeper of Manfulou felt that it didn't matter if Manfulou's own peach gum could be sold, his most important thing was to monopolize the peach gum of Yunlailou, and as long as he had no peach gum on his side, the guests would naturally come to him, and he didn't think about whether Yunlailou already knew what 'snow gum' was.

Wan Da Rongle blossomed, but where is the shopkeeper of Manfulou who is a good stubble, he spent more than a thousand taels of silver in vain, but learned that the peach gum is not a rare thing, it can be seen everywhere, so under the imbalance in his heart, he asked his men to disguise themselves as bandits on the road, and let them snatch back the more than 1,000 taels of silver.

Wan Darong went to buy meat with the silver, not knowing that there was danger waiting for him.

……

On the other side, Yunlai Building, backyard.

Xiao Wanshi saw Shen Tusheng's angry face, and hurriedly spoke aggrievedly, "Father, child, I didn't deliberately pour tea on the face of the little second brother, besides, a bowl of noodles for one or two silvers, which fool would eat it?" I was reluctant to eat the noodle stall outside for two cents. ”

Shen Tusheng looked at Xiao Wan, who was talking to him flatteringly, with a disgusted expression, and said impatiently, "What do you think this place is?" One or two silver noodles are the cheapest dish in our restaurant, and our restaurant is for those merchants who come and go to the mountain town and the rich people in the town to eat, but it is not for a country woman like you to come here to sit. ”

Xiao Wanshi was scolded so much that she lowered her head and didn't dare to say anything, feeling a little wronged, Shen Cuini watched her father so fierce on the side, and she always felt unaccustomed, so she helped, "Dad, my mother didn't mean it, don't be angry." ”

Shen Tusheng saw the girl he hadn't seen for a long time, his face softened slightly, but he didn't say anything about what just happened, "You don't come to me in the future, I'm so busy, didn't you see that the guests are about to fill the seats in the restaurant?" How can I take care of you? What do you have to do, tell me quickly, I still have to go back to work, and the shopkeeper will scold me when he sees me lazy and doing my own thing. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Wanshi hurriedly put down the backpack on his body, and took out a bag containing clothes and shoes from it, "Child, father, I made you a new dress and a pair of shoes, can you try it?" ”

Shen Tusheng looked at the coarse fabric and the rough needlework with disgust, shook his head and pushed it away, "My clothes and shoes in Yunlailou are all made for us by the embroidery lady of Jinxiuzhuang unified by the owner, there is no shortage of clothes, you still take them to your eldest brother." Nothing else, I have to go to the kitchen to serve food. ”

Xiao Wanshi didn't expect Shen Tusheng to not want the clothes and shoes she made, but looking at his anxious appearance, thinking that Yunlailou was full of guests just now, and knowing that he couldn't delay his time, he spoke very anxiously.

"That's right, I'm going to buy some pork in the town and go back to my mother's house, I haven't been back to see my mother for a few days, and I can't go back empty-handed. Also, seeing that it is hot and the children's clothes are also being remade, I plan to buy some fabrics and go home to make them. You haven't been home for a few days, and I can't ask you for silver. Child's father, if you don't get paid, I won't ask for much, just give me a tael of silver. ”

Xiao Wan actually didn't know about Shen Tusheng's salary increase, but it didn't prevent her from wanting all of Shen Tusheng's salary.

Shen Tusheng's face was very bad, if he had given the silver to Xiao Wan's in the past, but now it is different from the past, he is in the town every day, then he has to keep some silver around him, where Xiao Wan's wants silver, he will give it generously.

"I haven't paid my salary yet, where can I get a tael of silver, just go back to your mother's house and bring some sweet potatoes and potatoes, I only have a penny, you take it and buy some fabric to make new clothes for stones and pillars, Trini's clothes are pretty good in my opinion, you don't need to do it."

The stone on the side was very happy when he heard that his father was going to ask his mother to make clothes for him, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Dad, I miss you so much, when will you go home?" ”

Shen Tusheng touched his son's head, "Dad wants to make money, wait for the next time I go home to sell you candy, okay, you can leave quickly if you are fine, I have to go to work." ”

As soon as Shen Tusheng's voice fell, someone called him, "Tusheng? I'm busy ahead, have you said anything good, come quickly, the shopkeeper is calling. ”

Shen Tusheng didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly turned around and left.

Xiao Wanshi naturally couldn't stop him, and felt very disappointed when he weighed the money in his hand, but he also knew that he had no choice, so he had to lead Shen Cuini and Shi Shi away, but Shi Shi didn't plan to leave.

"I'm not leaving, I'm going to find Sister Xiaoshuang and Xiaoshan."

Seeing the stone jump a few steps away, Shen Cuini couldn't wait to beat him, crossed her waist and scolded him, "You little rabbit cub, who is your sister?" She is Xiaoshan's own sister, what benefits have you gotten from following her all day long? ”

The stone stuck out his tongue, "Sister Xiaoshuang is good to me, I have everything Xiaoshan has to eat, and I can write, it was all taught to me by Sister Xiaoshuang." You are my own sister, but you rob me of meat buns to eat, hmph, I don't have a sister like you. ”

Shen Cuini was so angry that she covered her heart, and hurriedly stomped her feet to complain, "Mother, look at the stone." ”

Xiao Wanshi also frowned and wanted to pinch his ears, but the stone was as slippery as a loach, where could he catch it, I saw him turn around and run into the restaurant, they had just provoked the shopkeeper and the little second brother, so they naturally didn't dare to go in again, so they had to leave Yunlailou with a bunch of money to buy something.

Xiao Li saw the stone and led him into the private room to find Shen Shuang, and at this time, Mr. Meng and Jiang Zitong's fifth brother and seventh brother had also come here.

Everyone was talking in the private room, and at the same time, Shen Shuang also got fifty taels of silver tickets and twenty taels of broken silver, which was all the silver she used to sell those scripts, which was enough money for the items to be purchased in a while.

Jiang Ziyan was very surprised to see that Shen Shuang had lost so much weight these days, and after being surprised, he talked about the business he came here today.

"Miss Shen, I have a friend who comes from the south, and he is in the fur business. However, this time his caravan brought some fruits from the south, because there were more fruits in the south, and the price was relatively cheap. But the people on our side may not be used to eating this fruit that has never been seen, all the way north he has not been able to sell much, lost a lot of silver, yesterday he came to the mountain town, we met, he also sent me two baskets. ”

"I see that Miss Shen is well-informed, and maybe she can make delicious dishes with these fruits, and I am planning to ask Uncle Mo to find Miss Shen today, but fortunately, you are here."

Jiang Ziyan actually doesn't like the wetness of the south very much. The climate was hot, so although he liked to travel far and wide, he didn't go much south, and he wasn't very familiar with it, otherwise he thought he could give some advice to his friends.

Shen Shuang's eyes lit up when she heard the fruits in the south, the fruits in the south had begun to harvest in this season, and she was naturally very interested in taking a look.

Jiang Ziyan asked people to bring over the two large baskets of fruits that were placed in the kitchen, and when she looked, Shen Shuang found that it was a tropical fruit pineapple, and the name of a dish immediately appeared in front of her eyes: pineapple grunt pork.

Jiang Zitong is the first time to see such a fruit, after all, the most people here are temperate fruits such as peaches and plums, "Fifth brother, what kind of fruit is this?" It looks quite strange, how do you eat this? ”

Jiang Ziyan tapped his brain with a fan, squinting at those defeated, "My friend said, this seems to be called Luo, and I can't remember it." ”

Shen Shuang picked one up on the side, and cut his hands a little, "This is called pineapple, which is born in the south and belongs to the tropics. ”

Jiang Zipei's face was confused, and so did the others, because they had never heard of the tropics at all, and Jiang Zitong, who was about to ask if they didn't understand, hurriedly spoke, "Sister Shen, what is tropical?" Tropical fruits? Pineapple? It's a strange name. ”
