Chapter 143: Secretly jealous
"Listen to her say it's called preserved eggs!"
The shopkeeper pondered beside him, but he couldn't see how this thing was made.
"Take a bite and show me!" Ning Yuanwai quickly set his eyes on the shopkeeper's face.
When the shopkeeper heard him say this, his face was shocked, "This ......"
Under the pressure of Ning Yuanwai, the shopkeeper obediently plucked the preserved egg and stuffed it into his mouth.
Ning Yuanwai looked at him with an expression that changed from horror to joy.
"Wonderful, wonderful! My lord, don't say that the taste of this preserved egg is really wonderful! The shopkeeper's face of praise seemed to be unfinished.
Ning Yuanwai heard him say this, and he also peeled a preserved egg curiously, and ate it, but he didn't expect that this would melt in his mouth, and the aromatic and rich flavor would soon permeate his entire mouth and nose.
"How the hell is this thing made?" Ning Yuanwai couldn't help muttering to himself.
This foreign woman is really amazing, not only can she make such a ghostly thing, but she can even come up with a way to make salt.
"My lord, why don't you send someone to investigate?" The shopkeeper said tentatively.
Ning Yuanwai nodded and said, "Don't bluff." ”
"Yes."
After the shopkeeper stepped down, he quickly bought a man who wanted to go to Ye Jinyan's preserved egg shop to do small work.
Ye Jinyan looked at the honest man in front of him with a longing look, it seemed that he really needed this job.
So he made an calculation and said, "One hundred and twenty yuan a month, can you accept it?" ”
The man nodded like garlic and said, "As long as the girl can give me a job and support my family!" ”
Ye Jinyan nodded and said, "What do you call it?" ”
The man opened his mouth: "Xu Chen." ”
"Okay, you stay at the cash cabinet, and if someone comes over to buy preserved eggs or salt, they will be entertained."
Ye Jin ordered everything in detail, he just had time to study other things, and he couldn't always waste his time here.
Xu Chen nodded in response, but Ye Jinyan didn't notice his weird and greedy gaze.
"That's it! I'll leave today's matter to you first, and I'll check it when I come back in the evening! ”
Ye Jinyan gave him a gentle smile, she has always been generous to her employees.
After listening to this, the man nodded and said, "Shopkeeper, don't worry, I will definitely be able to guard this place well!" ”
Ye Jinyan nodded, I can go to see Jinyu today, so I specially prepared a lot of preserved eggs, and also prepared a few catties of salt, and gave them to the vice president, which can be regarded as a curry.
After Xu Chen saw Ye Jinyan's figure walking away, he sneaked into the backyard.
He wanted to see how this preserved egg was made, and by the way, he found out where the salt was bought from, but when he walked to the warehouse, he didn't expect a head to suddenly appear in the room, startling himself, this very handsome man has an extraordinary bearing.
"Who are you?"
Xue Shenxing was sleeping in the granary, and suddenly heard the sound of chattering outside, and couldn't help but narrow his phoenix eyes curiously.
Xu Chen pretended to be calm and straightened his chest and said: "I'm a newly invited guy from the shopkeeper, I'll go to the back to see if there are any preserved eggs moved to the front, and today's goods are sold out again." ”
Xue Shenxing didn't have any doubts about his words, so he pointed to a corner and said, "The preserved eggs are all stored there, just go over there to get them in the future, this is the place to put salt." ”
Xu Chen nodded after hearing this, so he quickly withdrew his gaze and walked towards the corner.
Fortunately, there was no danger, and I was almost discovered, but I didn't expect that there was a handsome man hidden here, could it be the concubine of this female shopkeeper?
Xue Shenxing yawned and continued to sleep in the granary.
Next.
Xu Chen secretly went to the salt shop opposite, and the guy on the opposite side entertained him, and quickly led him to the box on the second floor.
Xu Chen entered the house and saluted, so he said respectfully: "The shopkeeper, I didn't find anything, but there is a handsome man guarding the house in the preserved egg shop!" I've never stepped into it, I'm afraid I'll be exposed. ”
"Handsome man? What does it look like? The shopkeeper turned his head curiously to look at him.
"The figure is slender, handsome and extraordinary, and it looks cold, but as soon as I saw Ye Jinyan, this attitude was put down. I suspect they both have a leg! ”
Xu Chen felt that such a handsome man was a good match for Ye Jinyan.
When the shopkeeper heard him say this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he poured the tea on his body, and said angrily: "Did I let you go over to inquire about these?" ”
Xu Chen shook his shoulders, his face turned pale, and he knelt down and said, "The shopkeeper's spare life, I really didn't find anything in it, and this Ye Jinyan is just making preserved eggs at night and not letting anyone see it." ”
"What a piece of rubbish! You've been there for so many days, and you still haven't found anything at all, what's the use of asking you? ”
The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows, the man nodded stupidly, admitting his incompetence, and then said: "Shopkeeper, what Ning Yuan is afraid of is that Ye Jinyan buys salt, and wants to force him to ask for the method of this salt, so it is better for us to directly deceive Fang Zi!" ”
"What can you do?" The shopkeeper glanced at him coldly.
"Hehe, this Ye Jinyan also has a younger brother studying in Qiwu Academy, it can be said that he loves his brother like his life, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, his younger brother will come back from Qiwu Academy, and when the time comes, we will directly tie up his younger brother, pretend to be a robber and write an anonymous letter to her, let her hand over this method of making salt, and by the way, force the recipe for preserved eggs! It's a win-win-win! ”
Don't look at Xu Chen's honest appearance, but he has bad water in his stomach, but this statement immediately made the shopkeeper's eyebrows smile, because he also felt that this method was good, once and for all.
"Yes, yes, there are still two months to go before the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion moon, you can hide there during this time, don't show any horses!"
"Yes."
Xu Chen raised his eyes and saw that there was an extra ingot of silver on the table, so he happily took the silver into his sleeve and turned around and left.
And these days, whether Ye Jinyan sells salt or preserved eggs, business is booming. There were also many businessmen who wanted to come over to talk to her about cooperation, but Ye Jinyan politely refused.
People came and went in front of the store, and suddenly, a crimson figure appeared in front of his eyes.
The woman's appearance looks delicate and dignified, dressed in silk brocade, she looks extravagant, she should be the daughter of a rich and noble family, but her hair is lazy, her expression is haggard, and she should not have eaten much these days.
