Chapter 163: Three Sees
"Naturally, cooperation is fine." Cai Xiaoxiao also felt that it would be much more convenient to cooperate with Zheng Yi later, but, "Do you want to use this little money to send me away?" Raised eyebrows, teasing.
"Of course not." Zheng Yi said with a smile, "This is only a small part of the funds in the early stage, if there is anything that needs help in the future, sister-in-law, you can mention it, it is my duty to do so." ”
"Then you're welcome." Cai Xiaoxiao also smiled.
Because there was no cellar in the house, Cai Xiaoxiao didn't buy too many ingredients, and she didn't know if business would be good in the first few days of the opening. But despite this, she still thought of a solution.
She asked Zhao Kangcheng and Zheng Yi to put the ingredients in a wooden barrel, and after sealing them tightly, they tied the barrel body of the barrel with a rope, and then tied the other end of the rope to this end of the well, and then carefully put the wooden barrel into the well, and used the well water to preserve the ingredients.
As for the remaining ingredients that could not be put into the wooden barrel, Cai Xiaoxiao was going to use them for lunch, and as for the ingredients needed after the opening, they naturally had to wait for the signboard to be ready.
At the dinner table, Zheng Yi asked Cai Xiaoxiao what he planned to sell?
Cai Xiaoxiao replied: "Just like I did before, selling scallion pancakes and fritters, of course, vegetable buns and wontons are also needed, well, in the final analysis, it is actually to make some early to sell." ”
"Scallion pancakes and fritters? What is that? Hearing the unfamiliar food vocabulary, Zheng Yi looked at her suspiciously.
"Oh, that's the kind of dry food I first used to sell in the village." Cai Xiaoxiao explained.
"Then how come I've never seen one in the store?" Zheng Yi asked.
"That's because ......" Cai Xiaoxiao scratched her cheeks, and explained some of her past past with Old Man Cai to Zheng Yi.
After Zheng Yi listened, he nodded understandingly, and said, "I see, and now because I am in the capital, I don't have to worry about the previous agreement, right?" ”
"Hmm." Cai nodded slightly.
"Then, sister-in-law, let me taste it at night." Zheng Yi suddenly asked, looking at Cai Xiaoxiao expectantly.
Cai Xiaoxiao simply refused: "Don't!" It's dry food, it's just used to fill your stomach in the morning, how can it be used as dinner? If you want to eat it, why don't you wait until the opening day? ”
"Okay......" Zheng Yi lowered his head slightly disappointed.
After Cai Xiaoxiao paid the rest of the money, he discussed with Zhao Kangcheng to prepare for the opening the next day, so the two went to the market to buy some firecrackers to be used tomorrow.
Zhao Kangcheng wanted to help Cai Xiaoxiao busy with the things in the store, but Cai Xiaoxiao refused: "Isn't there a few servants in Zheng Yi?" I'll just ask them to help me then, and you just need to concentrate on your book. ”
Zhao Kangcheng could only nod in agreement.
Because vegetable buns, wontons and glutinous rice balls need to be prepared in advance, so Cai Xiaoxiao was busy a little late that day, although there were several servants of Zheng Yi to help, but because they were all old and rough men, they didn't know how to cook, so they could only help Cai Xiaoxiao, and the rest still needed Cai Xiaoxiao to get started.
Although Zhao Kangcheng was a little distressed, he also knew that he couldn't help much, so he could only try to concentrate on his studies, and at the same time silently prayed that he could win the title of the gold list in one fell swoop, so that Cai Xiaoxiao could live an easy life at that time.
The next day, on the firecracker side, the red cloth was lifted, and the small town house was officially opened in the capital.
Because this is not a town, but a bustling capital, although Cai Xiaoxiao is very confident in her cooking skills, Cai Xiaoxiao really can't guarantee that the business will be very hot in the first few days, so she didn't make too many breakfasts at first.
Passers-by who were attracted by the sound of firecrackers began to feel curious after seeing some of the names of foods they had not heard of on the menu written on the red paper pasted on the wall, and this curiosity turned into interest after seeing Cai Xiaoxiao's servants Zheng Yi's servants put out scallion pancakes, fritters and vegetable buns and other dry food that everyone had never seen before, and then passers-by began to patronize the business as guests.
Zheng Yi's servants all helped entertain the guests and bring out the food made by Cai Xiaoxiao, Cai Xiaoxiao waited for the guests' orders in the kitchen, and Zhao Kangcheng sat behind the stove, reading a book while guarding the fire in the stove for Cai Xiaoxiao, and the atmosphere between the two was very warm.
Zheng Yi was sitting in the courtyard with the old god there, eating breakfast and drinking morning tea, and after drinking, he couldn't help but run to the kitchen and sighed to Cai Xiaoxiao, saying that he missed the juice and milk tea before, Cai Xiaoxiao rolled his eyes when he heard it, and couldn't help but say: "I said, Master Zheng, if you are okay, can you help me buy something?" ”
"What to buy?" Zheng Yi asked.
"Red pepper, rice pepper, green pepper, ......" Cai Xiaoxiao reported the names of the things that Zheng Yi needed to buy.
After Zheng Yi heard this, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Mo Fei, sister-in-law, are you planning to make hot sauce?" ”
Cai Xiaoxiao nodded: "Yes." ”
"I'll go!" As soon as he heard his beloved hot sauce, Zheng Yidang rushed out to prepare ingredients for Cai Xiaoxiao.
Seeing that he ran out so quickly, Cai Xiaoxiao hurriedly chased after him and shouted, "Don't forget that there is also a medicine mortar!" And clay pots! ”
"Got it!" Zheng Yi shouted from afar.
"I hope you really know." Cai Xiaoxiao looked at the background of Zheng Yi's departure and said helplessly. Then turn around and get ready to go back to the kitchen.
Suddenly, a slightly familiar voice sounded behind her: "Is this your shop?" ”
Cai Xiaoxiao looked back, saw the person coming, frowned unconsciously, and said, "It's you again, Miss!" Because he chased Zheng Yi, he chased him out of the yard and came to the door.
It was precisely because she stood at the door that Sun Lulu, who came on purpose, could see her and said loudly.
That's right, the person who came was Sun Lulu.
She smiled and said to Cai Xiaoxiao: "I heard the sound of firecrackers, I came to take a look, but I didn't expect to see you, what a coincidence." ”
"Qiao?" Cai Xiao opened his lips and sneered, "Maybe." Zheng Wei! She shouted to the servants.
Zheng Wei walked over and asked, "What's the matter?" Madam. ”
Cai Xiaoxiao pointed at Sun Lulu and said, "Come to the guests, entertain carefully, but don't slack off, after all, they are the daughters of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
Left phase daughter! As soon as these words came out, the customers sitting in the store looked at Sun Lulu in surprise, and then had a puzzled face: Why did Zuo Xiang's daughter appear here?
