Things have to start after Mrs. Liu finished looking for Zhou Xiaocao.

She didn't get what she wanted from Xiaocao, so she went back to report to Mrs. Ding, and Mrs. Ding had no way for a while, so she said that since she couldn't get the lipstick making method for the time being, Ding Ji would start to do it here.

Mrs. Liu took a few dim sum chefs who had been found a long time ago and went directly to the back kitchen of Ding Kee Restaurant.

In order to keep it secret, the production of fruit dan peel and cake is in a separate room, and several trustworthy old masters selected by Zhou's shopkeeper are in charge, and Mrs. Liu took people to this place directly.

Seeing that Mrs. Liu was leading several people to break into the door aggressively, she hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Mother Liu, wait a minute, this is the important place of our restaurant, and ordinary people can't easily enter." ”

This is not the first time that Mrs. Liu has come to Ding Ji, since Ding Ji was transferred to the name of Mrs., the guys in Ding Kee restaurant have been accustomed to Mother Liu in the house often coming to "point fingers", fortunately, there is a shopkeeper Zhou to mediate, although the guys have some complaints in private, but overall it is okay.

"Get out of the way." Mrs. Liu said arrogantly: "Old woman, I was ordered by my wife, and you dare to stop me?" ”

This guy knew that Mrs. Liu was a celebrity next to Mrs. Ding, and he couldn't speak more respectfully: "Where does the little one dare to stop you?" It's just that it's really the shopkeeper's order, and the little one can't be disrespected, if the mother really wants to go in, why don't you wait for a while, and wait for the little one to tell the shopkeeper a sound? ”

Where did Mother Liu have the patience to wait for the shopkeeper Zhou, she pushed aside the guy who nodded in front of her, and broke in with a menacing attitude.

Seeing that the work couldn't be stopped, he hurriedly ran to call the shopkeeper Zhou.

In the kitchen, Mrs. Liu slammed open the door, and the masters who were busy were startled, and they all put down their work and looked here.

Mrs. Liu didn't make a sound when she entered the door, but looked left and right, and saw the freshly baked fruit dan peel and cake in the corner of the wall, so she cleared her throat and said, "Who is the steward in this kitchen?" ”

One of the masters, wearing an apron and rolling up his sleeves, stepped forward and said, "It's me." ”

Mrs. Liu nodded, and ordered directly: "Madame instructs you to hand over the preparation method of fruit dan peel and cake to them." She gestured to the people she was carrying.

The master in charge of the kitchen was surnamed Tao, and when Master Tao heard her say this, he first hesitated: "This ...... I'm afraid something is wrong. ”

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Liu opened her mouth in a very sharp tone: "This is Madame's order?" How dare you disobey? ”

Before Master Tao could speak, another person in the kitchen spoke first: "We are all listening to the orders of the shopkeeper Zhou, and the shopkeeper Zhou said that these two ways of eating must not be passed on." ”

Mrs. Liu became angry: "This Ding Ji restaurant has long been in the name of Mrs., and Shopkeeper Zhou also works for our wife, everything has to be arranged by Mrs. ”

As soon as her words fell, the shopkeeper Zhou, who was urgently found by the guys, answered: "Mother Liu's words are reasonable, I don't know what Mrs. commands?" ”

"Shopkeeper." Master Tao and the others first greeted the shopkeeper Zhou, and then said, "Mother Liu took people and wanted to learn how to make fruit dan peel and cake. ”

Mother Liu saw the shopkeeper Zhou, and her momentum did not restrain in the slightest: "Since you are here, give me the recipe, I will bring it back to my wife in a while, these masters, I will ask the shopkeeper of Zhou to give the order to the church." ”

"Mother Liu" Shopkeeper Zhou arched his hand, "These two recipes for eating, what was said at the beginning, only me and these masters know, and the rest cannot be passed on, it is really inappropriate for my mother to ask for the recipe so rashly." ”

"Madame......" As soon as Mother Liu said two words, the shopkeeper Zhou immediately said: "Although the restaurant is now under the name of Mrs., but when the deed was signed, it was signed by the master, and the other party to the deed, Song Liuli and Song Xiaoniang should also discuss it together." ”

"According to what you say, if Madame wants this recipe, not only has to wait for the master to come back, but also has to ask Song Liuli for consent?" Liu's mother asked rhetorically.

Shopkeeper Zhou replied neither humble nor arrogant: "It should be so." ”

"Huh!" Mother Liu sneered, "Since the master gave this shop to Mrs., naturally everything is up to Mrs. to decide, as for Song Liuli, isn't it enough for us to give her so much profit every month?" Today, I will ask, do you give a prescription or not? ”

"Forgive me." Shopkeeper Zhou said very firmly.

Mother Liu took several deep breaths and turned to look at the chefs in the kitchen: "What about you?" Is it the same as the shopkeeper Zhou? ”

The master who had spoken before spoke again: "Naturally, let's all listen to the shopkeeper." ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, the rest of the masters also nodded in agreement.

"Okay, you wait, I'll go back and report to Madame." After Liu's mother finished speaking, she took a group of people behind her and walked away again.

Soon only Shopkeeper Zhou and a few masters were left in the kitchen, although everyone was tough just now, they couldn't help but be a little worried at this time, after all, Mother Liu is Madame's person, they are doing it against Madame like this, will they really not anger Madame?

"There is a shopkeeper, what are we afraid of?" The one who spoke before spoke spoke again.

Master Tao also said: "Yes, only a few of us know the production method of fruit dan peel and cake, no matter how Madame is, she must also take care of Ding Ji's business." ”

However, the situation was finally beyond everyone's expectations, and in the afternoon of the same day, Mrs. Ding sent Liu's mother again to pass the word, directly saying that if the shopkeeper Zhou did not listen to the arrangement, the shopkeeper would not have to do it, and even the master was also suspended from work.

Now there is a master who is really anxious, after all, they are ordinary people, and the family points to his salary, if he loses his job like this, how will he live in the future.

"Don't worry, everyone", Shopkeeper Zhou spoke at this time, "It's still the same sentence, we hold the key to the restaurant business, Madame will definitely not let the big guy go like this, I'll go to see Madame, you don't have to be impatient." ”

Shopkeeper Zhou calmed everyone's emotions, and went to Ding's mansion to meet Mrs. Ding, but Mrs. Ding was closed and didn't see him at all.

Shopkeeper Zhou returned in vain, and once again appeased everyone, planning to wait for Master Ding to come back, and go directly to reason with Master Ding.

"The big guy will go home first and wait for the news, and when the master comes back, we will talk about it later." Everyone is an old man who has been following Master Ding for many years, and I believe that the old man will give us an explanation. ”

Although the masters are in a hurry, there is no better way at the moment, so they have to do what Shopkeeper Zhou said.

After the shopkeeper Zhou appeased everyone, he rushed to Dawan Village and told Liuli the news, and Liuli only then knew about the changes that had happened in Ding Kee's restaurant.

From trying to know how to make lipstick, to demanding a tough recipe for fruit dan peel and cake, Mrs. Ding's mind is clear.

"Erniang, don't worry, I and a few masters who know the method of making it have not let go, we must stick to the secret recipe, and everything will be decided when the master comes back." Shopkeeper Zhou said.

In fact, Liuli herself is to blame for this, she was busy with the affairs of the foot shop, and she couldn't get out, and she wrote ambiguously on the deed with Ding Ji, which caused the current situation.

"I have worked hard to be in charge, and now I have to wait for Master Ding to come back and make a conclusion."

However, what they didn't know was that Mrs. Ding's move was actually acquiesced by Master Ding.

Things have to start from the end of last year, at the end of each year, the major shops of the Ding family will report their accounts in a unified manner. In the past two years, Ding Kee Restaurant has won the first place, and Mr. Ding is also very satisfied.

Last year, if you talk about the accounts of Xingping, it was still Ding Kee Restaurant that made the most profit, followed by Rouge Pavilion, these two shops have now become the two main sources of income for the Ding family.

However, Rouge Pavilion has a branch shop in Shangjing, and if you add the shop in Shangjing, it far exceeds Ding Ji in terms of accounts.

Although the two are completely different businesses, they have one thing in common, that is, they both prosper because of the things made by Song Liuli.

Mrs. Ding compared the accounts of the two families, and said that if she could open a Ding Kee restaurant in Beijing, the business would definitely be prosperous, and the business of the Ding family would become bigger and bigger.

Taking it a step further, if the Ding family can master the recipe of these three things by themselves, all the profits can be obtained, and they no longer have to be controlled by others, they can make as much as they want.

Mrs. Ding calculated another account for Master Ding, if they were no longer subject to Liuli, then how much more silver could they earn every year.

The businessman pursued profits, and Master Ding was finally persuaded by Mrs. Ding, but after all, he was the one who signed the contract with Liuli, and he only glanced at Fang Zi at the beginning, and he had been keeping it at Zhou's shopkeeper, and Master Ding was not good at openly disobeying it.

Mrs. Ding thought of such a way, recorded Ding in her own name, and then took advantage of Master Ding's efforts to go far away to get all three recipes.

Naturally, the reaction of everyone in Ding Kee Restaurant was also expected by Mrs. Ding.

She sent Liu's mother to go, if the shopkeeper Zhou was willing to obediently hand over the recipe, if not, there were so many masters who knew the method, and they all broke it, she didn't believe it, and no one could say it.

Things were as Mrs. Ding expected, and before Master Ding came back, one of the masters, surnamed Chen, told them how to make the product.

To say that the masters selected by the shopkeeper Zhou at the beginning are also trustworthy in character and craftsmanship, but in case, this Master Chen's young son in the family recently said that the girl is the daughter of a squire in the town, according to Master Chen's family affairs, it is his youngest son who has climbed high.

The girl heard that Master Chen had been suspended from work by Ding Kee, and they wanted to regret it.

The youngest son complained about Master Chen every day, and vowed that if it wasn't for that girl, he would not marry, and the mother-in-law at the head of the family also complained to him, saying that now that he has no work, he will not be able to live in the future.

At this time, Liu's mother came to the door and promised a lot of benefits, if Master Chen could tell the preparation method of fruit dan peel and cake, he would be the manager of the kitchen of Ding Kee Restaurant in the future, and also promised his son to follow Ding Ji to learn to keep accounts, so that he could cultivate in the future, and took out fifty taels of silver on the spot.

"It's just a gift from our wife to Master Chen's family." Liu's mother said with a smile.

That's almost a year's worth of Master Chen's wages.

On the one hand, it is the future marriage of his son and his position as the kitchen manager, and on the other hand, he is waiting blankly without knowing the future, it can only be said that Master Chen is also a mortal, and mortals can not withstand the temptation, so Mrs. Ding got the method of making the fruit dan peel and cake.

Master Chen also taught the people brought by Liu's mother how to make these two kinds of food, so half a month after the shopkeeper Zhou and the original Master Tao's gang left, Ding Kee Restaurant sold fruit dan peel again.

"Madame, she is really clever." Liu's mother said flatteringly.

Mrs. Ding nodded, and then ordered: "Now that you have a prescription, it is time to prepare for Shangjing." ”

"Yes." Mother Liu nodded, "The original profit ......"

She wanted to ask if the profits originally scheduled for Liuli were still given? Before she could say anything, Mrs. Ding knew what she was going to ask, and said coldly: "Give it first," after all, the lipstick recipe has not been obtained yet.

"However, Old Man Zhou is no longer there, you arrange a new shopkeeper, give more and give less, you have a sense of proportion." Mrs. Ding added.

"The old slave knows." Liu's mother should be down, the accounts in the future or something, Liuli don't want to see it, it's not up to her to decide how much to give.

The news of Ding Kee Restaurant's resale of fruit dan peel and cakes was quietly told by Xiao Wuzi to the shopkeeper Zhou, he remembered in his heart that Liuli and the shopkeeper Zhou were good, although he knew that Mrs. Ding, who had obtained these two food recipes, had completely controlled the Ding Kee Restaurant, Xiao Wuzi still quietly told the shopkeeper Zhou about the matter.

Then, the masters who had run away knew the news one after another, and they hated Master Chen for being the one who betrayed the big guy, and on the other hand, they secretly regretted it, why wasn't that person themselves?

However, at this moment, everyone is a victim, so naturally they are indignant and mediocre crusaders against Master Chen, and they share the same hatred with Shopkeeper Zhou, pinning their hopes on Master Ding.

Shopkeeper Zhou came to Liuli again and lost his previous confidence: "It's me who ignores Erniang's trust." ”

The shopkeeper Zhou is a lot older, but he is ashamed like a child who has done something wrong, which makes Liuli feel very unbearable: "It's also that I'm not thoughtful, and the shopkeeper has done his best." ”

"Hey," Shopkeeper Zhou sighed, "I'm no longer the shopkeeper of Ding Kee Restaurant." For today's plan, I can only hope that the master will come back soon. ”

Liuli shook her head, Mrs. Ding made such a big move, she didn't believe that Master Ding didn't know.

"Palm ......" Liuli paused and changed his words: "I'll call you Zhou Lao, Zhou Lao really thinks that he can turn around when Master Ding comes back?" ”

Shopkeeper Zhou was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile: "But right now, what else can I do?" ”

After the shopkeeper Zhou came back for the first time and told her that Mrs. Ding wanted to get the fruit dan peel and the recipe for the cake, Liuli began to think about countermeasures. first murdered Hongxiang's child, then forced the shopkeeper Zhou, and used money to buy Xiaocao in a vain attempt to know the method of making lipstick, Liuli knew that Mrs. Ding was planning to tear her face.

"Since they tore up the contract first, we don't have to talk about morality", Liuli said slowly, "Is Zhou Lao willing to come to be the shopkeeper of my restaurant?" ”
