Peach Blossom was afraid that her sister-in-law would be angry, so she didn't dare to blink with her big watery eyes, and her timid little appearance made Pu Cao feel pity, so she quickly hugged her and comforted her a few words, and then went into the house to accompany the guest.

Shopkeeper Luo and Steward Wang were busy pondering the new dishes on the table for a while, where would they have time to pay attention to the matter of accompanying guests. Seeing Pucao coming in, they hurriedly got up and gave in, and said with a smile, "Zhang Dongjia, is this the new food?" It's really good. ”

Pu Cao smiled and nodded, and introduced them one by one, "This fried bean sprout has garlic sprouts and bacon added to it, and this cold salad has fungus, shredded cabbage and coriander." The soup bowl is filled with bean sprouts meatball soup, and the last staple dish is the bean sprouts omelet. ”

Shopkeeper Luo looked at the green coriander in the cold bean sprouts, the fungus was black, the bean sprouts were white and tender, and occasionally dotted with a few fried red peppers, which was really pleasing to the eye. He was the first to put a chopstick into his mouth, chewed it a few times and nodded without waiting to swallow it, "This cold bean sprouts are good, refreshing and not greasy, and they will definitely sell well when put in the cold dish." ”

Seeing that the shopkeeper moved his chopsticks, Steward Wang also hurriedly took a bite of fried garlic sprouts with bean sprouts, and also praised, "This fried bean sprouts are sweet and sour, and the taste is really good." ”

Immediately afterwards, the bean sprouts meatball soup with green onions and the golden bean sprouts egg cake also made the two of them full of praise. Pu Cao slowly accompanied the two to eat and drink, and said a few words of gossip from time to time, which was really a pleasure for the guests and hosts.

When the meal was over, the magpie removed the table, and the shopkeeper Luo slowly drank the tea, and looked at Pu Cao's eyes with three points more admiration than before, and the little disapproval he had for his master's actions was all left behind.

"Zhang Dongjia is really ingenious, not only growing vegetables in the winter, but now he is thinking of delicious food like bean sprouts, which is really admirable."

"Shopkeeper Luo is polite, this bean sprout is not a rare thing, and it can't be put on the big table. If you put it in the restaurant to taste the freshness of the diners, it is barely competent. Pu Cao consciously told the truth, but in the ears of the old shopkeeper, she liked her modestly and cautiously, so she pondered for a moment and said, "Zhang Dongjia, we must buy this bean sprout in our restaurant." What do you think is the right price? ”

Pu Caoyuan didn't expect this bean sprout to make a gold and silver mountain back, the original intention was to help the Li family solve the dilemma that mung beans could not be sold, so naturally there was no idea of strange goods. She quickly calculated it in her heart, and responded with a light smile, "Shopkeeper Luo, the selling price of mung beans in the city is seven wen, and one pound of mung beans can only send out five catties of bean sprouts, so we will take double the profit, and sell it in Baiyunju for three wen and one catty." If you want to buy it from another restaurant, the price is four yuan, how about it? ”

Shopkeeper Luo originally thought that Pucao would ask for a high price, but he didn't think that she would ask for a few cents when she opened her mouth, and Baiyunju's price was lower than that of others. Although the restaurant is making money every day, it is not bad for the price difference of 100 yuan, but this is obviously higher than the preferential treatment of other houses, which still makes the old man more happy.

"Zhang Dongjia's price is really affordable, if the old decay should not be, but it is too ignorant to lift. This matter is decided, we will temporarily set twenty catties a day in Baiyunju in the future, if the rest of the peers also take a fancy to it, the old man will come down on behalf of the Zhang Dong family, how about it? ”

Pu Cao nodded and thanked, "Thank you, then I'll bother the shopkeeper Luo." There is also half a basket of bean sprouts in the kitchen, and I have also written a few recipes, and I will bring them with the shopkeeper Luo when he goes back, and try them out in the restaurant first. If the diners don't cheer, then our business today should not be discussed. If the diners eat well, they can pick up the freshly sprouted bean sprouts when they come to pick up the food five days later. ”

"Okay, Zhang Dongjia is quick to talk, and he is not polite." Both the buyer and the seller are harmonious and naturally have a good conversation.

The three of them were gossiping, but Chunni came in from outside and smiled, "The greens are ready." ”

Shopkeeper Luo and Steward Wang were worried that it would get dark early, so they didn't dare to sit down more, so they got up and went to the vegetable shed with Pucao. It was the first time for both of them to enter such a warm place as a spring day, and it was inevitable that they would have to explore around in a new way. In the end, the steward of the king led everyone to carry the vegetable baskets out, and the shopkeeper Luo settled the money with Pucao.

When he returned to the front yard, Pu Cao took out the half of Lou's bean sprouts and vegetable recipes, carefully explained them to Steward Wang, and then sent the old and young people out of the city to return to the city.

Chunni had the most anxious temper, and when the Chen family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned to their house with a smile, she immediately pulled the sleeves of the grass and asked, "Spread the grass, how is it, is that done?" ”

is related to the family's income, and Mrs. Li is naturally worried. Seeing this, Liu Housheng asked with a puzzled expression, "What is the matter?" ”

Pu Cao motioned for their family to quickly close the courtyard door and enter the house to sit down, and then smiled and said what had just been agreed with Shopkeeper Luo. Mrs. Li heard that this bean sprout actually sold for four yuan a pound, which was more expensive than tofu, and she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and Liu Housheng was also happy for his mother-in-law's family, laughing non-stop.

Chunni counted with her fingers for a long time, and asked anxiously, "Three wen is a catty, and twenty catties a day is dozens of wen." If you buy some from other restaurants, that's... How much, how much? ”

Pu Cao heard that she was messy, and she was amused, and she was just about to say something to solve her doubts, but she didn't want the magpie to say with a disdainful face, "I don't understand this, what kind of business are you doing!" Three pounds a catty, twenty pounds is sixty pounds, and a month is one or two or eight dollars of silver. If the rest of the restaurants are also as much as Baiyunju buys, then at least ten taels of silver can be bought in a month! ”

"Ten taels!" Chunni's eyes widened with joy, and she stepped forward to hug Mrs. Li and shouted, where could she care about the magpie's disrespectful words, "Mother, our family has made a fortune, a fortune!" ”

Mrs. Li also felt that her heart was beating wildly, even if she had lived for many years, she had already been tempered by the poor days and was not shocked, and when she heard that she could earn back a year's income in a month, she was also overjoyed and shed tears. Does this mean that the youngest grandson will have money to study in the future? Granddaughter also has a dowry? Can even build a new yard at home and buy fertile fields? It's like a dream...

Pu Cao heard that the magpie had a small account and praised her rarely, "You have a clear account, but you have studied it deliberately?" ”

The magpie remembered his father, who died young, and was also famous for his iron abacus, if he could live a few more years, he would not have been reduced to the point of being sold into slavery by his stepmother. Thinking like this, her heart was sour and unbearable, and she retreated after a vague response.

Pu Cao vaguely guessed some clues, but she regretted revealing this girl's scar in her heart.

Chunni's mother and daughter hugged each other and cried a few times, and finally separated and wiped their tears, and then walked up to Pucao together and bowed. Pu Cao hurriedly helped them in a panic, shouting one after another, "Auntie, Chun Nier, what are you doing here?" Sit down, sit down! ”

Mrs. Li took Pucao's hand, sighed and said, "Girl, speaking of these bean sprouts, if you send them out and sell them to the city, you will get these silver for yourself." But you taught the eldest lady to give up the way of wealth in vain, such a great favor, my Li family is afraid that it will not be over for the rest of my life. ”

Pu Cao was very embarrassed to hear this, in fact, whether it was supporting the Chen family to sell groceries or teaching Mrs. Li to make bean sprouts, she was grateful for the good character of the two families and treated her sincerely. And she can help them live a good life with a turn of her brain, so why not? She had never wanted anything in return from the two families.

She hurriedly hugged Mrs. Li's arm, half coquettish and half comforting, "Auntie, didn't you say that you treat me as your own daughter, and that girl should think of a way to make money for her mother's family." Besides, my vegetable shed is really busy, and there are many items, so it is really not bad to sell bean sprouts. The eldest mother's family really took over this work, or did it lighten the burden on me. ”

Mrs. Li listened to her funny, funny and warm-hearted, hugged her hard and patted her, "You girl, you are kind-hearted." No matter what you say, the eldest lady has this kindness in mind. ”

Pu Cao smirked, for fear that the old lady would not be able to thank her again, so she quickly diverted the conversation and said, "In five days, when the shopkeeper Luo comes to pick up the vegetables, he will have to pull the bean sprouts back, and I estimate that I will have to prepare two hundred catties." Tomorrow morning, I will ask the second brother Chen next door to send the eldest lady home to prepare first, and then let the Wang steward climb the plow to get it, okay? ”

The old lady couldn't sit still when she heard this, thinking that even if she got home tomorrow morning, even if she soaked the beans immediately, it would be the day after tomorrow before they began to sprout.

Thinking like this, she stood up and said in a loud voice, "Oh, that's not good, it's too late to go back tomorrow morning, I'll pick up and go home." ”

Pu Cao didn't expect that the old lady said that the wind is the rain and she would immediately take action, and she couldn't stop it after a few words of persuasion, so she couldn't help Chunni go back to help the old lady pick up the salute, and she went to Chen's house to ask Chen's second brother to climb the plow and send the old lady a ride.

Aunt Chen has been gossiping with Mrs. Li every day, and she is also close to each other, and when she heard this, she also took the old quilt from home and put it on the climbing plow, for fear that Mrs. Li would freeze on the road.

Liu Housheng was worried that there was no one in the vegetable shed behind, so he saluted his mother and rushed to the back garden. Chunni was worried about supplementing her mother's family, and when she saw this, she immediately picked up two pieces of cloth, two boxes of snacks, and a piece of pork, and stuffed them all into a wicker basket for the old lady to take back.

No, Pu Cao also picked up more than a dozen steamed buns and some hazelnuts and pine nuts to eat and sent them over, plus the new quilt that was made before, but Chen Er's small plow was piled up. Aunt Chen patted Mrs. Li enviously, "Old girl, you are blessed, the two daughters are filial to you." ”

Mrs. Li nodded, her eyes were red again, she never thought that she would be so filial to the girl before, and the days will only get better and better in the future...

Everyone waved Mrs. Li away, and Aunt Chen took a few steamed buns specially prepared by Pu Cao and went home to cook dinner with a smile.

Chunni craned her neck and looked at the place where the climbing plow disappeared, with a reluctant expression, she pulled her to persuade her, "Don't look at it, it's not thousands of miles away." The eldest lady came again in a few days, and there will be many days to meet in the future. ”

Chunni thought about it, so she laughed again and took the grass back to the yard.
