Chapter 100: Wishful thinking
Ye Jinyan understood Jia Yuanwai's intentions, and he really listened carefully to the conditions he told him at the beginning.
"Is there really the girl who sells preserved eggs in this restaurant? How I didn't see it. ”
They packed the restaurant to the brim, just to try the rumored delicacies.
Ye Jinyan stood on the second floor, looked down from the window, and found that there were too many people, and the preserved eggs in her hands were not enough to sell.
However, there is also an advantage to the small amount.
"Hey, shopkeeper, isn't there someone in your restaurant who sells preserved eggs? Why haven't you seen it until now? ”
The shopkeeper was frightened by the menacing guest.
He stretched out his hand and waved it to show that he didn't know anything, "Heroes, don't break the things in our restaurant, our restaurant is a small business and doesn't make much money." ”
Originally, he was still happy that there were so many people who could make a lot of money, but now he was so anxious that he was going crazy, begging those guests not to move, and at the same time asking Xiao Er to come over and ask questions.
"They say there is a preserved egg seller here, do you see that?"
Xiao Er shook his head in confusion, thinking about what he had done today, and why he was called by the shopkeeper several times a day.
The shopkeeper sighed, and just as he wanted to tell the guests that they didn't have that person at all, he saw Li Hong hurriedly walk out of the stove room.
He hurriedly walked up to Li Hong and said, "Aren't you going to cook?" Who told you to come out and see the hilarity? ”
Li Hong glanced at the shopkeeper and said, "If you want them to calm down, you will listen to me." ”
The shopkeeper lost his temper and withdrew his hand to let him pass.
Li Hong glanced at the eager crowd, coughed a few times, and asked loudly, "Are you looking for a girl who sells preserved eggs?" ”
His loud voice drowned out the hustle and bustle of the building.
The restaurant fell silent all of a sudden, and they all turned their heads to look at Li Hong.
"We are looking for her, Jia Yuanwai said that she lives in this restaurant, but we haven't seen her after waiting here for so long, Jia Yuanwai shouldn't have lied to us, do you have any news of her?"
Li Hong turned his head and saw Ye Jinyan walking down, and shouted loudly: "She is the girl who sells preserved eggs, you can find her if you want to buy preserved eggs, but this price is not less." ”
Li Hong took a few steps to the side so that Ye Jinyan could come over.
Ye Jinyan glanced at him when he passed by him, and smiled at him: "Thank you, Brother Li." ”
Ye Jinyan heard the disdainful voices of those people as soon as he passed, and they seemed to want Ye Jinyan to hear it, so they deliberately made the sound louder.
Her face was very calm, and she turned her head to look at the empty table and asked, "Can this table be used?" ”
As soon as the shopkeeper wanted to speak, he heard Li Hong say, "It's okay, you can use it as you like." ”
As soon as the words fell, Ye Jinyan stepped on the table in three or two steps, she was originally shorter than those people, and after stepping on the table, it was like a spring shoot that came out of the soil and pulled out a tip.
The guests in the restaurant did not speak, but looked at her quietly, wondering what kind of medicine was sold in her gourd.
Ye Jinyan cleared his throat and said, "I think everyone has heard about preserved eggs, but none of you have ever bought preserved eggs, in order to let you taste this rare delicacy, I decided to divide a preserved egg first and let you taste it." ”
"Really? That's great! The earth-shattering cries of the guests made the restaurant tremble.
The shopkeeper looked at his table and the crowd shouting loudly, and he was so frightened that his liver hurt.
He stretched out his hand and pulled Li Hong's clothes and said, "How do you know her?" ”
Li Hong glanced at him and said, "She came to live in our restaurant before, have you forgotten?" ”
The shopkeeper smiled smugly, he had indeed forgotten, he did not remember anything.
"This girl has preserved eggs on her hands?" He asked again.
Preserved eggs, but they are very popular things in their town recently, I heard that they look like duck eggs, but the color inside is completely different, no one knows what is inside, but the taste is endless.
Li Hong nodded, "I bought a few preserved eggs from her before, and then sold them." ”
"Sold? Why haven't I heard from you? The shopkeeper looked at him in astonishment.
That's preserved eggs, and it's a delicacy that's been all the rage in town lately.
I heard that Jia Yuanwai was still talking about the preserved eggs, and many people bought duck eggs for him, but they were all thrown away by him.
Li Hong nodded and said, "The preserved eggs in my hand were indeed given by her, and I guess she has already met with Jia Yuanwai, otherwise Jia Yuanwai would not have said that she was here." ”
Li Hong analyzed the truth, but the shopkeeper standing next to him slowly knelt down as if he had lost his soul.
"What can I do?" He muttered, "If I had known, I would have bought a few more from her, and did you think she would sell them to me now?" ”
Li Hong said in a deep voice: "As long as you can afford it, you can buy it." ”
The shopkeeper quickly stood up, and asked with bright eyes, "How much does it cost, is ten cents enough?" ”
Although duck eggs are usually at this price, he thinks that preserved eggs should not be much worse.
Li Hong glanced at him, laughed, and didn't speak, which made the shopkeeper anxious. When he knew that Ye Jinyan sold the preserved eggs for five taels of silver each, he wilted for a while, and then instantly cheered up and thought of a brilliant idea.
Coming to Ye Jinyan, the shopkeeper swallowed his saliva and asked in a low voice, "Little girl, do you still sell these preserved eggs?" ”
Ye Jinyan nodded and said with a smile: "Of course it is sold, do you want to buy it from the shopkeeper?" ”
The shopkeeper immediately nodded like pounding garlic, then shook his head, pulled Ye Jinyan aside, and said with a smile: "We are running a restaurant, we can't compare to a rich family like Jia Yuanwai, and the amount we need is not a little ......."
"So, what does the shopkeeper mean ......?" Ye Jinyan raised her eyebrows.
"Make a price," the shopkeeper raised his hand and said calmly, "We bought your recipe in the restaurant." ”
This preserved egg is only Ye Jinyan can do, it is unheard of or seen at all, and after listening to Jia Yuanwai, after eating the preserved egg, he only feels that the taste is unique and the aftertaste is long.
Seeing that so many people want to buy Ye Jinyan's preserved eggs now, the shopkeeper's eyes are naturally hot, if his own restaurant also has preserved eggs, wouldn't the business go to the next level?
He did play well in this abacus, but unfortunately Ye Jinyan didn't intend to do what he wanted. Now she still wants to make a lot of money with preserved eggs, how can she give up this great opportunity?
"I'm sorry, shopkeeper, I worked hard to figure out this recipe, and I really can't give it to people......
"I didn't ask for your formula for nothing," the shopkeeper was anxious, stretched out a hand, and blurted out, "Five hundred taels!" How about buying your formula for five hundred taels? ”
The shopkeeper thinks that the price is high enough, after all, this is the price of five hundred preserved eggs, and she doesn't need to make raw materials, bother to make so much money easily.
But Ye Jinyan is such a short-sighted person, she can sell five hundred preserved eggs in less than a month, where are the five hundred taels rare.
