Chapter 9: Selling Honey

Chu Xiaoliu cleared his throat, raised his head and said with a crisp smile: "The people of your master's family are not interested in your so-called delicacies in the past, what does it mean, it means that he may have long been tired of those wild meats." It's also annoying for you to get him these things again, so why don't you change the taste and try my baby. "Reach out and hold up what you have in your hand.

She looked at the old man's tentative gaze, and the corners of her mouth hooked into a clean smile, without the slightest stage fright.

Finally, the old man moved. He bent down slightly to look at her, and said in a kind voice: "I don't know what the little girl said about the baby?" ”

Chu Xiaoliu opened the porcelain jar in his arms and said pleasantly: "This is the fresh honey that was just harvested last night, and it is guaranteed to be delicious." ”

Under the sun, the color of honey is clear and transparent, and it is indeed newly harvested honey.

"Honey is sweet and delicious, and it has a unique aroma when made into various pastries. Not only can it moisten the lungs and cleanse the intestines, but it can also eliminate food accumulation, which is the most suitable for spring. She quickly added.

At this time, the thin young man exclaimed, "That noble man of the lord's family seems to love sweets!" I ate one more piece of almond bergamot cake today, two more spoonfuls of yesterday's lotus root flour paste, and the jade bean paste the day before yesterday......"

The old man took the small porcelain altar that was somewhat worn out, looked at it for a moment, and a touch of joy crossed his eyes. He turned his head to look at Chu Xiaoliu and said, "How much?" ”

Hearing this, Chu Xiaoliu knew that his honey was sold. He lowered his head and thought about it, and opened his palm and put it in front of them: "Ten taels." ”

The old man paused.

"Y-Are you robbing?" The fat young boy's eyes widened and he stammered a little.

The old man weighed the weight of the honey in his hand and said in a deep voice, "It's like a jar, ten taels is a bit much." ”

Even if ancient honey was expensive, ten taels could probably buy four or five jars like this, but Chu Xiaoliu didn't ask for a price out of thin air, she would make them worth the price.

Chu Xiaoliu shook his head slightly, looked at the old shopkeeper with a smile, but his eyes were full of confidence: "Fei Ye, in addition to this jar of honey, I also made a rare pastry for your difficult guest, if he is not satisfied, I will not take a penny, and I will give the honey for free." But if he's satisfied, give me ten taels, how about it? ”

In a word, if the dessert is not successful, you will not lose. If it succeeds, the restaurant will be saved. Compared to your rice bowl, my ten taels are not expensive. Chu Xiaoliu said with a smile. She didn't back down, just looked at the old man with a light smile, "After all, you can't do anything now, why don't you let me try." ”

At this time, the fat Xiao Er looked at the time and said anxiously to the old man: "Shopkeeper, there is no time, let's try it." ”

The old man hesitated for a moment, put the honey in his hand on the fat little second-hand, and sighed: "In this case, the old man will let you try, come with us." ”

As he spoke, he raised his feet and walked forward.

Chu Xiaoliu breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly pulled Chu Xiaoxu, who was still in a daze, to follow them.

At this time, Chu Xiaoxu seemed to have come back to his senses, grabbed Chu Xiaoliu and whispered: "Sister, I, I didn't dream!" Ten taels of silver, your sickness...... There is salvation! ”

Chu Xiaoliu smiled lightly at her.

The restaurant is not far away, and it is not a few steps to arrive.

"Little girl, time is running out, the kitchen is here, you should hurry up." At this time, the white-bearded shopkeeper said to her standing outside the door of the restaurant.

She came back to her senses and nodded obediently at him, and hurried into the door and walked to the kitchen.
