Chapter 007: The First Pot of Gold in Life and Making Connections
Lin Chaoxi nodded and followed Lin Jiancheng's steps towards the town.
By the time they reached the town, it was completely bright.
Walking this way, Lin Jiancheng was simply impressed by Lin Chaoxi, originally he thought that Lin Chaoxi would definitely not be able to stand this crime when he walked like this, but she carried the rabbit and followed him silently, so she came to the town.
On the way, Lin Chaoxi had already inquired about the price of these bamboo products from Lin Jiancheng.
The bamboo basket is small for twenty wen, the big one is thirty-eight wen, and the chicken coop in her hand costs fifty wen, in addition to these, there are some mountain mushrooms and other things, Lin Jiancheng saw that she was interested, and he also told them one by one.
And on the way, I also learned that Lin Jiancheng's purpose in coming to the town this time was to settle wages.
So as soon as he arrived at the bazaar, when Lin Jiancheng put down his things, Lin Chaoxi smiled and threw Lin Jiancheng and said, "Fourth uncle, you go and settle the salary!" I have memorized the prices of these things, and I will sell them in comparison! ”
Seeing this, Lin Jiancheng nodded after a moment of silence, and said two words, "That's good!" Stay here obediently, and come back as soon as I finish settling the money with the rich man, and don't wander around. ”
After Lin Chaoxi agreed, Lin Jiancheng left in a hurry.
Lin Chaoxi stood in place, watching the rush of people, occasionally two people took a look and asked the price, but no one bought, and the business was delayed, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
I saw that most of the other small traders around were like this, and the business was light.
"How much does your bamboo basket cost?" As she looked at the situation of the other vendors, an inquiry entered her ears, and Lin Chaoxi turned her head to look at the person.
The peasant woman was dressed in a green cloth with few patches on her body, holding a three-year-old boy in her arms, stroking a large bamboo basket with her hands, and raising her eyes to ask her.
"Forty texts. If my sister-in-law really wants it, I can give it to you for 38 yuan. ”
Lin Zhaoxi said this, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the child in her arms, only to see his eyes staring closely at the lifelike dragonfly woven of straw she placed in the basket on one side.
These straw dragonflies were woven by Lin Chaoxi and Lin Jiande in the past, and Lin Jiande, who was entangled and scared, would prepare a lot to deal with their brothers and sisters during the slack time, and the children in the village were extremely envious of them for having such toys.
She brought them to the market to see if she could sell them.
Seeing this, Lin Chaoxi smiled and took out the dragonfly from the basket on one side and handed it to the child, "Give it to you." ”
The child grabbed the little dragonfly handed by Lin Chaoxi tightly and played with it in his hand.
"This ...... What's so embarrassing about that? The peasant woman was a little embarrassed when she saw that her son had received Lin Chaoxi's dragonflies, so she spent thirty-eight yuan to buy a basket here with Lin Chaoxi, and then hurried away with the child in her arms.
Lin Chaoxi saw her go away, his eyes turned slightly, and he suddenly came to his heart.
Tearing his throat and shouting, "Sell bamboo products, good bamboo products, buy one get one free, buy big and get small, all fifty wen, come and see, come and see!" ”
Lin Chaoxi's shouting really attracted many people, and after asking the price and groping for the bamboo basket, the bamboo basket in front of Lin Chaoxi was snatched away.
The chicken coop compiled by Lin Jiancheng was also sold, leaving only a small chicken coop with rabbits for Lin Chaoxi.
At this moment, a middle-aged strong man in silk walked leisurely with his hands behind his back.
After coming to Lin Chaoxi's face, he pointed to the rabbit in her chicken coop, "How do you sell this hare?" ”
Lin Zhaoxi's gaze paused slightly on his white jade wrench, and then a gust of wind blew, and a very light smell wafted into her nose.
This is the cook in the kitchen, and the smell of oil smoke is stained on his body.
"Six hundred texts. Comes with an ancestral palace braised rabbit meat recipe. Lin Chaoxi looked at the cook with a fixed gaze.
The value of the word "court" alone is incomparable to the people of this era, not to mention that this is a court recipe, which has a fatal attraction for a chef.
Zhao Ning pondered for a moment, looked at Lin Chaoxi, and saw that although this fat little girl was wearing patched clothes, she had an extraordinary bearing between her eyebrows, and he knew countless people, so he could see that this little girl was extremely confident in her recipes, and nodded, "Deal." ”
"This is three hundred rabbit money. For the other 300 texts, you just need to tell me the recipe, and I will give it to you. Zhao Ning counted out three hundred texts and handed them to Lin Chaoxi.
Lin Chaoxi didn't squirm, put away the three hundred texts, asked Zhao Ning to come over with his ear, and told him about the practice of braised rabbit meat.
Zhao Ning's eyes lit up after hearing this.
This recipe is feasible as soon as you hear it.
And in terms of materials, many of them are shipped from other vassal countries, which naturally confirms what Lin Chaoxi said that this is a palace dish, because most people have never heard of these materials, let alone buy them.
After listening to Lin Chaoxi's words, he looked at Lin Zhaoxi deeply, counted three hundred wen for her again, and counted twenty wen for her casually, "You go home and look for it, if there are other recipes, I can buy them from you." ”
Lin Chaoxi put away the money, agreed, and asked casually, "Uncle, do you know where there is a restaurant that accepts wild wolves?" Fair price. ”
Zhao Ning looked at Lin Chaoxi deeply, "Junyue comes to the restaurant." To re-introduce, my name is Zhao Ning, the chef and shopkeeper of Junyuelai. If you have a wolf, send it. By the way, girl's last name?"
"Don't be expensive, the surname is Lin Chaoxi. I'll go back to the restaurant. Lin Chaoxi gave him a big smile as if he didn't notice Zhao Ning's inquiring gaze.
But she remembered the name in her heart.
Grand Hyatt Restaurant.
She heard from her family that it is the largest and most luxurious restaurant in the entire border town, and most of the people who come and go are high-ranking officials and nobles.
"Okay! Then I'll sit in the restaurant and wait for Miss Lin's good news! ”
After Zhao Ning finished talking to Lin Chaoxi, he took the chicken coop that Lin Chaoxi handed him with the rabbit and left.
After Zhao Ning left, after thinking about it for a while, she estimated that Lin Jiancheng should not come back so early, so she went to Junyue Lai Restaurant.
When she came to the Grand Hyatt Restaurant, she came to an alley where no one was around, and she took out the wild wolf from the space.
At this time, the wild wolf had been wrapped in a coarse cloth bag by Lin Chaoxi yesterday, and she carried the body of the wild wolf to the Junyue Lai Restaurant.
At more than one meter and four, even if she is a little fat, she can carry a wild wolf of nearly one hundred and fifty pounds, which is extremely abrupt.
attracted a crowd of onlookers.
She entered the restaurant without changing her face, but was stopped by the shopkeeper as soon as she entered, "Guest officer, what are you ......?"
"My name is Lin Chaoxi, I have made an appointment with your shopkeeper, I have goods to sell to him, please pass it on." Lin Chaoxi looked at the shopkeeper who was determined to stop her way, and exposed Zhao Ning's name.
Seeing that Lin Chaoxi was so determined, the shopkeeper hesitated, and finally gave the other shopkeepers a look, asking them to continue to stop Lin Chaoxi, and he went to invite someone in person.
After a while, Zhao Ning walked out of the back kitchen, saw her carrying a big coarse cloth bag, frowned, and reprimanded the surrounding shopkeepers, "Didn't you see my noble person carrying things?" If you don't have the eyesight to see, you can quickly help unload the goods into the kitchen. Let Zhang purchase and settle the account. ”
The shopkeeper who got Zhao Ning's orders even helped the wolf on Lin Chaoxi's shoulder to unload it.
Just by this unloading, their faces changed.
They originally watched Lin Chaoxi carry it easily, thinking that the goods did not weigh much, but their faces changed when they started it, and they almost broke their waists because they didn't use their strength for a while.
For a while, their gaze at Lin Chaoxi became strange.
Where the hell did this weird woman come from?
Zhao Ning's eyes flickered, and he smiled and introduced Lin Chaoxi into the back kitchen.
In the back kitchen, the wolf was weighed: one hundred and fifty-nine pounds and four taels.
Zhao Ning asked Zhang to purchase five taels of silver from Lin Chaoxi.
Lin Chaoxi, who originally thought that he could only sell for three taels of silver at most, was surprised, but he figured out the key, Zhao Ning was reciprocating, satisfied with the previous formula, and specially calculated the high price for her, and thanked Zhao Ning gratefully, after Zhao Ning repeatedly retained, he left in a hurry.
She didn't forget Lin Jiancheng's advice to let her wait for him in the same place.
On the way back, when she passed a street selling goods, she was about to sell something and go home, and she met an acquaintance at the mouth of a remote alley.
Jun Yunchen, why is he here?
When her eyes saw a boar in front of him, her eyes cleared.
He's also here to sell goods!
It's just this whole boar, sold like this?
So big one, who can afford it.
The corners of her mouth twitched, and she walked over to him.
He sat on the ground, his hands on his curled legs, and stared blankly at the shoes of the passing crowd.
Recently, the weather has begun to change, and my uncle's health is getting worse and worse, and when the wild boar is sold, he will have money to buy medicine for his uncle.
It's just that he's been sitting here for an hour and a half, and only people are watching, but no one is coming to buy it.
Jun Yunchen sat on the spot and thought dejectedly.
Just then, a pair of shoes appeared in front of him.
His eyes lit up and he looked up.
Seeing that it was Lin Chaoxi, he forced out a smile, "Chaoxi." You're coming to the market too? ”
Lin Chaoxi nodded, and pointed to the boar lying on the ground, "You sell this pig as a whole like this?" ”
Jun Yunchen nodded inexplicably.
Lin Chaoxi twitched the corners of her mouth, if it weren't for the rabbit he gave her, she might have turned around and left, suppressing the helplessness in her heart, she looked at him, "Will you kill a pig?" ”
"Yes!" Regarding Lin Chaoxi's question, Jun Yunchen was still a little puzzled.
Lin Chaoxi saw that Jun Yunchen was still a little puzzled, so he opened his mouth to explain, "Then kill the pig!" Sell it loosely, otherwise you can only sell the whole pig if you sell it in a restaurant, otherwise few people can afford it, and even if you can afford it, you can't eat it all. Only by selling in bulk can you sell it! ”
She probably guessed the reason why Jun Yunchen didn't sell to the restaurant, although the restaurant could be sold quickly, it could only be sold at a low price.
When she asked Zhang about Jun Yunchen's family situation, Zhang mentioned it.
