Mingyue was noncommittal, just staring at Zhou Zhengren, waiting for Zhou Zhengren to say the answer.

Zhou Zhengren said with an angry look: "The 'Ten Fragrance Poems' are indeed 'fragrant' and 'beautiful and delicious', and the person who makes the poem is also a wonderful person, but he has a quirk and doesn't want to be disturbed by the living, why don't I go through it with my cousin?" ”

Mingyue's face darkened, and she knew that Zhou Zhengren would not tell her so easily, and the implication was that he also wanted a piece of the pie!!

Wanting to fight back, at this time, Wei Zhixing was about to take the clams powder, so he had no choice but to accept Zhou Zhengren's proposal.

Zhou Zhengren was proud, and Zhou Zheng had already sunk his face and said: "Zhengren, Mingyue is from the countryside, ignorant and ignorant, and doesn't know how to avoid making money, how can you be so ignorant of etiquette, righteousness and shame, and read the book of sages in vain?!" ”

Mingyue secretly picked her big finger, not a loss is a philistine who has been fighting in the mall for many years, she taught her son a lesson in one sentence, and gave herself a dismount, insinuating her own rudeness and ignorance, being honest and shameless, letting herself know that etiquette is honest and shameful, and staying away from his son Zhou Zhengren.

Mingyue looked at Zhou Zhengren provocatively, and then turned back to an injured expression and said: "The lesson of my brother-in-law is that Mingyue has overpassed, and there is not much food at home, so I have to find a way to survive, and I can't wait for the whole family to starve to death and drag my brother-in-law to enjoy the coffin." ”

Zhou Sui's face is not good-looking, this Mingyue has a humble appearance, but the meaning of the words is to mock him for not saving his relatives in the old mansion over the years, and standing by.

Zhou Zhengren saw that his father's face was not right, for fear that the two of them would be more embarrassed the more they talked, so he hurriedly stood up and said: "Cousin Mingyue, my cousin will not accompany you, the person who makes poetry often appears in Zhenweifang, he is an authentic diner, your good 'recipe' must be useful, just don't forget your cousin's recommendation." ”

Mingyue gave a knee bow with a gentle face, and replied: "What my cousin said is very true, Mingyue will never forget it." ”

......

The location of Zhenwei Fang is just the opposite of other restaurants in the prosperous area, but is located on the outskirts of the city, covering a wide area, with all kinds of halls and pavilions, just like an official mansion and a back garden, and Luo Ping does live here, the mansion is divided into two from the pond in the middle, the front is a restaurant, and the back is a residence.

Diners can enjoy a meal or a stroll through the garden.

Regardless of the good year or the bad year, there is always an endless stream of guests here, and it is indispensable for the rich and noble families to come here to spend their money. One is because I want to taste the food that flows out of the legendary court, and the other is because there is never a shortage of salt here, and the dishes are the most palatable.

Looking at such a beautiful building complex, Mingyue was surprised by Luo Ping's huge asset strength, and the backer behind it was not simple.

Mingyue thought that it would take a lot of words to report the meeting, but the shopkeeper only glanced up and down a few times at Mingyue, so he shook his head inexplicably, sighed, and led the way directly without saying a word, and led her to Luo Ping.

At this time, Luo Ping, who was drinking and eating wine slowly, looked gloomy and sad, saw that it was Mingyue, picked up a new wine cup, poured it full of wine and pushed it in front of Mingyue, the shopkeeper turned around and walked out of the house, and closed the door casually.

Mingyue didn't squirm at all, sat on Luo Ping's side with a golden knife, picked up the wine cup and bumped Luo Ping's wine cup, and drank it all with a raised neck.

A hint of appreciation appeared on Luo Ping's face, and he drank it all as he could.

Mingyue had a request for others, so she naturally followed Luo Ping's mood, and the dog-legged helped Luo Ping pour a lot of wine and gave him a bite of food.

There are not many dishes on the table, four exquisite side dishes, a fried cabbage with fungus, a stewed pork ribs, a steamed fish, but the last one is so shocking that Mingyue took a long time to relax.

This fourth dish is not a special dish, but a platter of pickles such as spicy cabbage and garlic that are on the table of Mingyue's family almost every day.

Mingyue took a bite in surprise and sighed: "This dish is really delicious!" ”

Luo Ping glanced at Mingyue in a rare and strange way, and gave Mingyue a rib in a better mood.

Mingyue gnawed on the meat without any image, but her eyes narrowed slightly.

The taste of this pork rib is medium and high, and it is not very special compared with modern times, but in ancient times, because of its complete seasoning and moderate salt, it can be called the best of the best, the best of the best.

Mingyue tried two other dishes, both of which were the same.

Isn't it because Luo Ping is a young owner, so it is a special supply? Mingyue smacked her lips like envy and said: "Brother Luo Ping is really blessed, I'm afraid that you are the only one in Chaoyang County, and no matter how rich you are, you don't know the taste of food." ”

Luo Ping's originally gloomy face turned out to be better like this, spit lotus flowers in his mouth, and said eloquently: "This is why the rich and noble people are eager to cherish my treasure shop, and their mouths have faded out of the birds at home, how to satisfy their cravings, only Zhen Wei Fang, and I don't, only ten tables are provided every day, but the result is full every day, and I have to book in advance." ”

Mingyue couldn't help but pick up her big fingers, she knew how to consume hunger at a young age, which was rare.

From Luo Ping's words, Mingyue also understood one thing, this Zhenwei Fang is not restricted by the salt of Chaoyang County, in other words, as long as people are in a good mood and provide a hundred tables of normal meals a day, no one dares to care whether its salt comes from Zhou or Qi.

In this background, Mingyue likes !! This made Mingyue have an idea in her heart.

Mingyue first handed the two small songs written to Luo Ping, Luo Ping looked at the corners of his mouth upturned, and pointed at Mingyue with the corners of his eyes: "Brother Xian is really a veteran of flowers!" When floating a big white. ”

Mingyue smiled and raised the wine cup, the two of them drank it all again, Mingyue had gradually felt blurred in front of her, and if she drank it again, it was estimated that she would overdose.

Hurriedly stopped Luo Ping's hand from pouring wine again, and said with a smile: "Brother Luo, there was originally a set of peerless paintings that were intercepted by an eyeless kid, no hindrance, I will deliver it in three days, but the virtuous brother has something to ask for, and please ask Brother Tai to help, otherwise, tomorrow next year will be the death day of the younger brother." ”

Luo Ping hurriedly asked the reason, Mingyue casually made up a matter of overturning the nobleman's clams and nobles' claims, and now he urgently needs a whole clams to be crushed into powder to spare his life, but there are no several treasure shops in Chaoyang County, and he wants to ask Luo Ping for help, so the tears in his eyes are dripping, and he sighs for a long time, so pitiful.

Luo Ping looked at all the silver that Mingyue took out of his arms, and couldn't help laughing, laughing out loud without any image, and laughing out of tears.

Mingyue is unhappy, I ask you to do something, whether it succeeds or not, you give a happy word, what does it mean to laugh like this, is it schadenfreude?

It took about half a pillar of incense before Luo Fu stopped laughing, pointed his finger at Mingyue, and said a complete sentence for a long time: "Brother Xian, you are usually very smart, how stupid and stupid you are at a critical time!" What do you pay for? ”

Mingyue replied helplessly with a dark face: "Tridacnus powder." ”

Luo Ping took down a white jade clam bracelet from his wrist and said, "What is this?" Can't buy it? ”

Mingyue was stunned for a moment, a black line flew over her head, and finally slapped her head hard, eager to smash her head to see if it was made of chaff.

I only thought that Wei Zhixing gave me the whole jade clams that he bought for two hundred taels of silver, and ordered himself to grind them into powder, completely forgetting that the whole jade clams were not easy to buy, but the ordinary clams made into hand-decorated Buddha beads were countless, and almost every treasure shop could take out a few strings.

It is the whole clams smashed into powder, and it is also the inferior bead string smashed into powder, where would Wei Zhixing know?!!!

The matter that she has been entangled for six days has been solved so easily, how can she be embarrassed?

Luo Ping had already called the shopkeeper to come out, handed Mingyue's two hundred taels of silver to the shopkeeper and said: "Go buy a whole low-grade Tridacnus Buddha string with a heavy weight, my virtuous brother wants six roots to be quiet, become a monk, and accompany the ancient Buddha with green lanterns." ”

After sending away the shopkeeper, Luo Ping said to Mingyue, who was suspicious: "If you. . . said that it was smashed, and the shopkeeper was afraid of offending the Buddha, so he would not buy it for you. ”

Mingyue suddenly, the big stone that had been hanging in her heart for a few days was finally put down, and there were only less than forty taels left, and her mood was always panicked, looking at the pickles, her eyes rolled and said: "Brother Luo, this dish is the specialty of our Zhenwei Fang?" ”

Luo Ping shook his head and said: "This is the shopkeeper of an inn who sold it to Zhenweifang, it seems that he was questioned by the county government, and he suspected that he had bought black market salt. It's only me, Zhenweifang, and the county government doesn't dare to search or ask. ”

Mingyue saw that Luo Ping's figure was a lot taller, full of starry eyes, and said in her heart, there is such a hard thick platform, brother, why didn't you say it earlier.

Mingyue sneered: "Luo, Brother Luo, is this dish selling well?" What is the price? ”

Luo Ping looked at Mingyue inexplicably, and said slowly: "The shopkeeper's three taels of silver are sold to me for one jar, and I can sell one jar for about ten taels of silver, but unfortunately there are not many altars in total, and the shopkeeper doesn't know where to buy the goods." ”

Mingyue felt that she couldn't breathe, it turned out that her side dishes were so popular, but the cost of dozens of dollars (of course, aside from the no cost of salt), turned out to be Sun Wukong's somersault cloud to make money, it was really powerful.

Mingyue patted her chest, with a flattering smile, opened the vegetable basket that she had always put aside, brought out four small jars of small dishes, and said with a peach blossom smile on her face: "Brother Luo, the little brother who sells this small dish was fortunate to know each other a month ago, when he was chased by a tiger, he was scared away by the little brother with a torch to save him, he was afraid of dying in a foreign land, so he returned to his heart like an arrow, and gave all the goods in his hand to the little brother to repay the kindness, and he has been sold for many days, but no one dared to buy it, but he didn't expect the biggest buyer to be Brother Luo." ”

Luo Ping smiled indifferently, poured a glass of wine for Mingyue, touched Mingyue again, drank it all first, and said meaningfully: "Brother Zhou, don't bother to explain, Luo has been in business for many years, and this look is still there." Doesn't the peasant family have such a saying? Chicks don't pee, each has its own way, and everyone makes money with their ability, regardless of where they come from. As long as it's a win-win situation, I won't talk too much. ”

Mingyue's face was embarrassed, it turned out that Luo Ping had already seen this little bit of Taoism, and without saying a word, he went straight to the point: "I still hope that Brother Luo will make it clear." ”

Luo Ping looked at the calm Mingyue with appreciation, leaned on the back of the chair leisurely, and said slowly: "The salt of the black market that flows into Daqi in the Zhou Kingdom, one pound is only one or two silver, according to the ingredients of your dishes, etc., Luo estimates that the cost of materials for a small jar is seven or eight hundred Wen, give you some labor costs, but one or two silver, I will give you one or two halves of silver and a jar, and supply a hundred jars in January, I have increased my profits, and you have reduced the risk of being investigated, how?" ”

Sure enough, the true character of the businessman, no profit can not be early, a word is to maximize the benefits, Mingyue nodded helplessly, and in fact, when she sold it to the innkeeper, it was lower than this, who suffered and who took advantage and who could tell, as long as there is silver to earn, everything is easy to say.
