Chapter Eighty-Three: A Rising Tide Lifts a Boat's Worth
"No matter how much money you want, it's not for you to come out, do our Wang family still have less this bit of silver? You see that the young lady has invited so many cooks to wait, how much money is there in a month? One of the cooks also interjected, "If we don't get this wonton recipe back, I'm afraid we will lose our errands." ”
"Yes, Master Wang is right, what is two hundred taels of silver? That little village girl asks for five hundred taels of silver, as long as the young lady is happy, isn't the master still willing to give it? Another cook also pointed out.
Li Xixiao is a personal essence, how can he not understand what it means.
"Okay, let's make up this silver first, and let's make up all the five hundred taels of silver that this little village girl wants!" She immediately clapped her mind.
As soon as she said this, several cooks began to rummage through their purses very actively, who doesn't do such a good thing! Two hundred taels of silver became five hundred taels in a blink of an eye, and it was worth one or two months' monthly money!
A few people scraped together enough two hundred taels of silver, and Li Yuqi grabbed the silver, so he got into the carriage and went in the direction where Hua Manxi had just gone home.
On the way, I also met Hua Sangsang who came back with a burden, this Hua Sangsang relied on Ding Xiucai on the mountain to deliver food, and secretly hid for two days.
"Girl, let me ask, where does the girl who sells wontons live?" Li ordered someone to stop the carriage and ask Hua Sangsang.
Hua Sangsang now has the dream of marrying Ding Xiucai, with a spring color, he doesn't care about Hua Manxi, and casually points to Uncle Hua's yard.
Li Xixi and his party stopped at the gate of the courtyard of the Hua family, because the guest of the golden shopkeeper came, the courtyard door of the Hua family was not closed, Li Xixi asked everyone else to wait outside, and entered the courtyard alone.
The rich aroma of food wafting in this courtyard kept getting into his nose, and Li Xixi thought of the fat and tender duck that Hua Manxi had just said, and he swallowed his saliva unconsciously.
She heard the voices and walked down the hall, where she saw a few people eating around a shabby table.
There are two plates of roast duck on the table, which are full of color and aroma, and the color makes people droop three feet when they look at it, and their way of eating is actually quite exquisite.
Several people were eating hard, but they didn't notice her, Li Xuanxi walked to the door and coughed twice.
Uncle Liu was the first to notice her, and he recognized her at a glance, immediately put down his chopsticks and stood up: "Aren't you the one who caused trouble a few days ago?" What are you doing here? Do you still want to bully our daughter! I'm telling you, if you come to harass Manxi again, don't blame me for letting the entire villagers of Peach Blossom Village come over and blast you out! ”
"Ouch, big brother, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, I'm here this time to talk to this girl about a business, not to make trouble." Although Li Xixiao has seen the world, but Uncle Liu is a farmer after all, and he is most afraid that Xiucai will meet soldiers, and he can't explain it, she came over today, but it is not as good as the nursing home that Miss brought that day, she only brought a few cooks, if she really started, how could there be any chance of winning.
That's why she lowered her posture, looked at Hua Manxi, and said kindly: "Little shopkeeper, what you just said can still be counted." ”
Hua Manxi had long expected that she would come with her, according to Miss Wang's behavior that day, it was clear that she was a rude little girl, and it was definitely not easy to do things under her, she didn't sell the wonton to them, and they would definitely not be able to pay the difference when they went back.
She did not hesitate to turn around and leave, not to look down on the two hundred taels of silver, but to use this clatter to show the golden shopkeeper a play, lest he see that he was a little girl and fool himself at will.
"Although I am a woman in Huamanxi, but the people who do business pay attention to integrity, and what I say naturally counts." Hua Manxi looked at Li Haoxi and said calmly.
"That's good, then bother the little shopkeeper to give me the recipe, this is two hundred taels of silver." Li Xixi took out two hundred taels of silver from his bosom and put it on the table.
The eldest aunt and Aunt Liu rarely saw so much silver, so they gasped in shock, and they both looked at Hua Manxi in surprise: "Manxi, do you really want to sell Fang Zi to her?" ”
"Sell, why don't you sell, I only have one condition, my stall is still open in this Peach Blossom Village, I hope that after you get the recipe, you will not come to the door to disturb us in the future." Hua Manxi added.
"Hehe, you can rest assured about this, what kind of family is our Wang family, if it weren't for the fact that Miss likes to eat this thing, I wouldn't be too lazy to come to your ravine, could it be that I got a prescription, and I came to your small village to rob your business." That Li Xuan's words revealed a sense of superiority and disdain.
"In that case, please wait a minute, I'll write you a recipe." Hua Manxi nodded, turned around and went back to the room.
That Li Xixi's back was straight, his eyes were not squinting, and his body was magnificent, but the fragrance in his nose wafted over, which made people's hearts itch.
This countryman really doesn't know how to be hospitable, so he eats in a daze, and he doesn't even know how to greet her!
was muttering in his heart, but the golden shopkeeper suddenly stood up and stepped forward: "Are you Miss Wang's Li Xi?" I'm the shopkeeper of Jin Yutang, and your young lady and my girl are still friends. ”
"It turned out to be the shopkeeper of Jin Yutang, what a coincidence, what a coincidence." Jin Yutang is the best restaurant in the town, especially the wine, it is a must in Shishan County, Li Xixi has naturally heard of it, although he has not seen the gold shopkeeper, but the daughter of his family has seen it, and the short and fat man in front of him is indeed a little similar, and the identity is not fake.
"Li Hao, what kind of recipe are you here to buy?" The golden shopkeeper was a little curious, the two hundred taels of silver were on the table, even if it was the best signature dish in his restaurant, the recipe was only bought for fifty taels of silver, what house could use two hundred taels! Even if it is today's roast duck recipe, he can only get a hundred taels at most!
"Hey, a few days ago, our young lady went to Mrs.'s maiden house and came back, passing by this peach blossom village, this little girl opened a stall on the side of the road, selling wontons, our young lady ate it, and never forgot it, I wanted to invite this little girl to the house to be a cook, but people didn't want to, no, I specially asked me to come over and buy this recipe and go home."
When the eldest aunt and Aunt Liu heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, and a trace of disdain flashed in their eyes, but they didn't dare to make a sound, and silently rolled the cake and ate it.
It's better to say than to sing, What did you come to buy a special buyer, it was clear that they wanted to steal a teacher and learn art while they were making a wonton of land! Fortunately, Manxi found it, otherwise how could there be two hundred taels of silver!
"Your mansion is really a big shot, a big shot." The golden shopkeeper looked a little stunned, with a compliment on his face, but he couldn't help but complain silently in his heart.
Why didn't he come early, didn't come late, but at this time, he originally wanted to talk to the little girl about the chili sauce business, he had a budget in his heart to buy this recipe for a few dozen taels of silver, but he didn't expect this Wang Mansion to give two hundred taels of silver at once!
His Jinyutang Restaurant made a profit of less than two hundred taels of silver a month!
"That's nature, the entire Shishan County, who doesn't know that our Wang family is generous." That Li Xuan and Yourong, his eyes fell lightly on the face of the golden shopkeeper, "I don't know how the golden shopkeeper is also in this ravine?" ”
The golden shopkeeper was sweet and bitter, he smiled, and said with a haha: "This brother is the father of Master Liu of Taoli Academy, Master Liu has always been good friends with me, asked me to bring some things to his father, and recommended his sister-in-law's cooking skills by the way, no, Brother Liu took me to try it, this little girl is amazing, it is indeed worth the trip!" Just this roast duck, the roast is fat but not greasy, fresh and delicious, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it is really fragrant lips and teeth, and the taste moistens the tongue and intestines. ”
The golden shopkeeper is an expert in food, he praised it like this, then the roast duck on this table is naturally not ordinary, that Li Xuanzhou came over after a tiring journey, and stood for most of the day to steal the teacher to learn the arts, and now he is hungry, listening to him say this, the saliva has not been swallowed, but the five visceral temples reacted first, and cooed.
Li Xixi was very embarrassed, and was about to end the shelves of large families, but the golden shopkeeper was a fine person, pulled her, and said warmly and politely: "Although the delicacies of the mountains and seas are ordinary on weekdays, this little girl's craftsmanship must be a must, you can taste it." ”
Seeing that the golden shopkeeper was so good, Li Xixi pretended to be helpless and said: "Since the golden shopkeeper is so gracious, then I'll try it." ”
When Aunt Liu and her aunt heard this, they looked at each other again, and were speechless for a while, this is the Hua family, you are all here to do business, can you have a little guest consciousness!
Uncle Liu didn't have a good impression of this, but it was not good to save the face of the golden shopkeeper, so he had to keep quiet.
Li Xixiao learned the movements of Uncle Liu and others, rolled a burrito, put it in his mouth, and before he could swallow it, he was amazed by the fragrance in his mouth.
The golden shopkeeper said that the fragrance is full of lips and teeth, and the taste moistens the tongue and intestines, which is really true! It's delicious, isn't it? This little village girl, I really want to invite you back to the house!
She ate a burrito and sandwiched some fries to eat, but the fries were cool, not as crispy as when they first came out of the pot, and the taste was average, so she rolled a few more cakes to eat, and she couldn't care about the grandeur and elegance of the big family.
When she ate the fifth, Hua Manxi came out with the recipe.
"Auntie, the recipe for wonton is here, and I also sent you a shrimp wonton." Hua Manxi handed her the recipe and said boldly.
Li Xixiao is literate, and glanced at the words on the list, although the writing was sloppy, and some of them were missing arms and legs, but they could see what the words were.
"This is silver, and the money is in two parts." Li Xixiao didn't pay for the silver, but it was extremely crisp, and she pushed two hundred taels of silver to Hua Manxi.
