Chapter 57: Coveting the Recipe
When Lan Xiaoqing heard this, she immediately raised her eyebrows at Lan Erlang: "Dad, what am I talking about, this is called Cao Cao Cao will arrive." ”
"I'll go out and have a look." Lan Erlang still didn't believe it, but listening to the accent of the person outside, it was obvious that he was not from a pure stone village.
Lan Xiaoqing was not in a hurry, and followed Lan Erlang slowly behind him like an old cadre.
Walking to the door, Lan Xiaoqing had no intention of coming forward, she wanted Lan Erlang to exercise how to deal with people and do business, after all, this is an era of male superiority and inferiority, even if she wants to come forward to talk to others, others may not take her seriously.
But in fact, the main reason is that she is lazy.
It was a middle-aged man, driving a mule cart, not tall, with a fat figure and a shiny face, he claimed to be sent by the shopkeeper Zheng of the restaurant yesterday, and chatted with Lan Erlang about the white jade crystal jelly after a few words of greeting.
At first, the conversation was normal, for example, he asked, 'How many catties of white jade crystal jelly do you have at home?', 'If I buy more, can you make it cheaper?' ’
But the more he went to the back, the more wrong it became, Lan Erlang asked him to sit in the house, and he actually took the initiative to go into the kitchen to watch.
Lan Xiaoqing was highly alert, and immediately blocked the door of the simple kitchen: "This uncle, you have come all the way to sit down and drink saliva first, our kitchen is too small, and you can't turn around when you go in." ”
Lan Erlang didn't think much about it, but he felt that what his daughter said made sense, the kitchen at home was really too small and simple, thinking of this, he couldn't help blushing, blaming him for being useless as the head of the family.
And Lan Xiaoqing had already moved the only bench out of the house. There is only one room in the house, where Lan Erlang and his own bed are placed, and not everyone can let them in casually.
She took advantage of Lan Erlang to go to the kitchen to fetch water for people and whispered to him.
Lan Erlang didn't believe it at first, then his face changed, and finally he nodded solemnly to Lan Xiaoqing.
The father and daughter walked out of the kitchen and saw that the person who called himself Xu Laosan was looking at their simple thatched house, with a pair of upside-down triangular eyes shining, and they didn't know what the hell they were thinking.
And that Xu Laosan didn't take Lan Xiaoqing's little girl seriously at all, and when he saw Lan Erlang coming over, he directly put a thick swollen hand on his shoulder: "I said Brother Lan, brother, I should have a very hard time looking at the situation in your family." ”
After Lan Xiaoqing's reminder, Lan Erlang was already alert to Xu Laosan, and he himself didn't like the touch of strangers, so he took a step back almost immediately.
Lan Erlang's movements were stiff and direct, Xu Laosan's hand was suspended, his face was embarrassed and dissatisfied, and he coughed dryly before continuing to lobby:
"This is Brother Lan's daughter, she has to be thirteen or fourteen, why is she so big. I said, Brother Lan, no matter how hard you are, you can't suffer your children, and in the future, you will rely on a little filial piety of your children to support your children.
You're an adult, and you can endure hardship, but a child can't. I listened to what you mean, and I only made ten catties of white jade crystal jelly when I got up early and was greedy for darkness, which is only a few dollars, and it is not worth it at all. Why don't you sell me the recipe and do it once and for all. ”
Lan Erlang frowned when he heard this, and sure enough, his daughter guessed correctly, this person came for the recipe of pigskin jelly.
He turned his head to look at Lan Xiaoqing, and when he saw Lan Xiaoqing giving him a look, he asked Xu Laosan: "Then how much money are you going to pay for our recipe?" ”
Xu Laosan stretched out a finger, and shook it in front of Lan Erlang's eyes with a look of 'you have taken a big advantage, do you know': "This number, or silver, how about it?" Enough of it! ”
