Pu Cao smiled and picked up a few pairs of dishes and chopsticks and returned to the east wing, just to relieve the embarrassment of the old shopkeeper. He was so anxious to offer Bao'er just now that he forgot to take the dishes and chopsticks, but let the master stare at it dryly, but he couldn't eat it in his mouth.

Pu Cao got up in the morning and started to be busy, naturally he didn't eat a good meal, and then he was busy cutting vegetables and putting them in baskets, plus resisting the cold all the way, and the little bud porridge in his stomach had already been digested. At this moment, she was really hungry, and she didn't say any polite words, she simply reported the name of the dish for Fang Jie and Luo's shopkeeper and lowered her head to eat.

Dong Si and Chunni were a little afraid to put down the chopsticks before, but then the hot soup and hot dumplings dispelled the cool air in their bodies, and the taste was extremely comfortable, so they couldn't care too much.

Shopkeeper Luo seemed to want to say something, but when he saw that his son-in-law's chopsticks fell steadily and accurately, and he ate fragrantly, he swallowed the words back from his mouth.

There are fifty or sixty dumplings on three plates, plus one dish and one soup. It sounds like a lot of preparation, but it's not a lot to spread out to five mouths.

Seeing that the plates and bowls on the table were empty, everyone put down their chopsticks with some unfinished business.

Standing aside and waiting for the little steward who didn't have his turn to serve the table, Zhang Luo picked up the plate and bowl, and came back with a pot of hot tea.

Everyone drank tea to hydrolyze the greasy, and Fang Jie smiled, "What the little sister-in-law said is true, this... Well, the food called dumplings is really novel and delicious. ”

"Fang Gongzi praised it falsely," Pu Cao refused to take credit, and said modestly, "It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and it is rare to be able to eat fresh vegetables in winter, even if it is boiled with water, it will taste excellent, not to mention that it is still mixed with meat to make food together." ”

After speaking, she reached out and took out a few pieces of paper full of small characters from her arms and handed them out, and said with a smile, "I have written down the detailed recipes for these few things, as well as the other two dishes with garlic sprouts as ingredients, and the recipe is not difficult, and the chef can let the chef figure it out by himself." ”

Fang Jie took the recipe and handed it directly to Shopkeeper Luo, and then said with a smile, "Then sister-in-law, let's talk about the price of these green vegetables." ”

Dong Si is not stupid and blind, so when he heard this, he quickly got up and said with a smile, "It's the first time I've entered a restaurant since I was a child, and I want to go out to see a novelty." You talk about it first, and if you call me something, just call me. ”

Chunni also got up with a red face, Pu Cao had the intention to keep her and felt that it was not good to let Dong Si out alone, so she acquiesced.

The little steward said very warmly and thoughtfully that he wanted to be a guide for the two, so he led the two out together, and Pu Cao and Fang Jie's master and servant were left in the house for a while.

This house was specially picked up by the old shopkeeper a few days ago, and only two charcoal basins were placed in a far corner, and the degree of heat and cold was just right, which not only ensured that the fresh vegetables would not freeze nor wilt off hot.

The old shopkeeper walked to the basket, reached in, touched the bottom of the basket, took out a few shallots, looked at the roots, and nodded very satisfied. He raised his head and was about to praise two sentences, but his master frowned slightly, so he coughed embarrassedly twice and covered up, "The old slave is just curious about the fact that there is no water or mud under this basket, why is it so fresh all the way?" ”

Pu Cao didn't expose him to live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and responded with a chuckle. Fang Jie raised his hand to stop the old shopkeeper from going to the corner of the wall to get the weighing rod, and said directly, "I said that the price would be set by me that day, since my sister-in-law's vegetables are so well grown, and I sent them to Baiyunju according to the agreement, I naturally can't treat my sister-in-law badly." Well, don't weigh it either, let's talk about the basket. Garlic sprouts must be the rarest among them, just according to five taels and one basket, and the cabbage and spinach are four taels, and the shallots are three taels, how? ”

Pu Cao sent a total of one basket of garlic sprouts, two baskets of shallots, and one basket of cabbage and spinach this time, which is nineteen taels of silver, almost reaching the original deposit. Moreover, these dishes are sold for one or two pennies and a pound in the season, and now Fang Jie has increased the price dozens of times when he opens his mouth, which is really generous enough.

This price was also a bit unexpected by the old shopkeeper, but he was not a fool, how could he not see that his master treated this little woman specially, so he didn't dare to persuade and stop him.

As the old saying goes, wool comes out of sheep. If the purchase price is high, the selling price will naturally be higher, and in the end, the diners will pay the money, anyway, they Baiyunju can't suffer a loss.

"Thank you Fang Gongzi for being so generous, then I won't be polite." Pu Cao's face couldn't hide her joy, and she said with a smile, "Bother Fang Gongzi to give me a receipt of nineteen taels of silver, and I will be able to pay off the deposit after three or five days when I deliver the food again." ”

Fang Jie waved his hand, "This is the first time my sister-in-law has been selling vegetables for a few months, how can I let you go back empty-handed?" The twenty taels of deposit will be deducted from the next delivery, and this time the sister-in-law will accept the silver first. ”

In Pucao's impression, businessmen have always been profit-seeking and light-hearted characters. Even the last time Fang Jie sent someone to send a thank you gift, she mostly used it as a means to envelop their family. But now that Fang Jie has thought so thoughtfully for her, it is really a little unexpected.

She frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, Young Master Fang, I don't have any plans to tear up the deed paper after paying back the deposit..."

Fang Jie couldn't help but smile heartily, stretched out his hand to fill the teacup for Pucao, and then said, "Sister-in-law misunderstood, I don't have that kind of worry." It's just that I know that it's not easy for my sister-in-law to grow vegetables, so I want to make it more convenient for my sister-in-law. ”

Pu Cao saw that his expression was sincere and did not have the slightest hint of falsehood, so he was ashamed of his speculation just now, so he smiled, "Childe, forgive me, I am too careful." However, the food sent by Gongzi a few days ago was really deserved. This time, thanks to the generosity of the son, the family has entered the money, so let's deduct the money used to purchase the thank-you gift first. ”

Fang Jie naturally refused to take back the things he sent, but unfortunately all the good words couldn't make Pucao change his mind, and in the end he had to smile helplessly, "I'm afraid there will be more and more when I deal with my sister-in-law in the future, and I will inevitably go to the village to disturb and bother my sister-in-law to clean up the food." Why don't you eat the things that you need to eat, even if I pay for the rice in advance? If my sister-in-law doesn't agree, she doesn't want me to be a guest often? ”

Pu Cao hesitated slightly, Fang Jie already laughed and made a final decision, "That's it, sister-in-law don't shirk anymore." And when he had finished speaking, he told the old shopkeeper to fetch two taels of silver.

Since it has come to this extent, it would be hypocritical to refrain any more. Pucao had no choice but to respond.

Three five taels of silver and four taels of broken silver, a total of nineteen taels, were put into a big red purse embroidered with carp jumping over the dragon gate, and the old shopkeeper personally held it and sent it to him.

Pu Cao thanked and took it, but it was really difficult to hide the excitement, and the knuckles between the knuckles holding the purse were a little white.

After all, this is the first time she has earned silver money with her own ability since she crossed into this world. This is the basis for her survival in the future, the foundation for her to straighten her back and be a person, and the guarantee that she will not be frozen or starved! How could she not be excited?

"Young Master Fang, speaking of which, I still have a reluctant request, looking at Young Master Fang..."

"Does my sister-in-law want me to help keep it secret?" Without waiting for Pu Cao to finish speaking, Fang Jie interrupted her with a smile, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm not a person who talks much." ”

Pu Cao's face was blushing, and she secretly blamed herself for being a little kid today. People think about her everywhere, and she repeatedly doubts people's kindness and conduct, which is really a bit of a villain.

Thinking like this, she took her purse, bowed generously, and said with a smile, "Fang Gongzi is kind today, and Pucao has it in mind." In the future, if the son has free time, he will often go to the village for a walk, and I will definitely cook a few good dishes to entertain the child. ”

Fang Jie waited for her words, a pair of bright starry eyes smiled like a crescent moon in the sky, "Then thank you, sister-in-law... Pucao's sister-in-law. ”

He called him by four characters like this, Pu Cao heard it a little awkwardly, and couldn't help but say, "Fang Gongzi doesn't have to be so polite, we will come and go often in the future, why don't you just call me Pu Cao." After she said this, she immediately remembered that the woman's name in this time and space was not to be easily called by men, so she hurriedly wanted to take it back.

It's a pity that Fang Jie didn't allow her to regret it, and replied with a smile, "Okay, we are the same age, and we are cooperating in business, so it is just right to be worthy of our names." In the future, you can also call me directly by my name, Fang Jie, or Boya. ”

After speaking, he ignored Pu Cao's slightly stunned and remorseful look, and asked with a smile how many words Peach Blossom and Shanzi had known recently, and whether they liked the sugar man and Bingyu sent last time?

Pu Cao's mouth responded, but his eyes were looking at the smiling noble son in front of him, and he felt more and more strange in his heart. Is she too careful, why does she always think that this person seems to have been digging a pit for her to jump?

This thought came up but was immediately extinguished by her in an instant, and she secretly spat that she was really self-inflicted.

If he had such a good face in his previous life, it would make sense for people to go to great lengths to get close. But now, although this skin has been carefully raised by her for more than two months, it is no longer as "Luchai Stick Airport" as it was at the beginning, but the foundation left by more than ten years of suffering is so easy to change. Don't say that she is like a flower, she should snicker if she can barely deserve the word Qingxiu.

In this way, how could this noble son be interested in her and be tempted?

The two chatted for a while, Fang Jie glanced at Pu Cao and glanced at the door, then smiled, "It's dark and the road is far away, so I won't keep you more." In four or five days, I will send someone to the village to pick up vegetables, and you don't have to work so hard to get here. ”

Such a strong wind and snow are really unbearable, and from the beginning of the deposit to now, it is really taken care of too much. The so-called lice are not itchy, and it is really not bad. Therefore, Pu Cao didn't refuse, and said with a smile, "That's good, I'll bother Fang Gongzi, and I'll think of more recipes when I go back." ”

Fang Jie raised his eyebrows slightly, and protested with a three-point grievance and a seven-point joking protest, "Pucao, why do you still call me my son, do you dislike me, a businessman who is full of copper smell..."

Pu Cao hurriedly waved his hand, "Fang Gongzi misunderstood, I'm used to it, I can't change it for a while..."

Fang Jie sighed, his expression seemed to add a little loneliness, "Many friends don't say anything, but in their hearts, they all dislike me for being with money all day long..."
