Chapter 21 Shopkeeper Zhao is here

signed a one-year agreement with Baixianglou, this year is conservatively estimated to allow her to earn more than three hundred taels, if she thinks of something else, she should be able to have five hundred taels of silver by this time next year, so that she can leave the barracks and live the life she longs for.

Empty talk misleads the country, hard work prospers the country, Mo Li decided to be down-to-earth, start from the present, make full use of the existing conditions and create new products, Songhua eggs have been stuffed into the jar, whether it can succeed or not It will take time. First study and study the well-known egg yolk baked pumpkin in the previous life, Mo Li didn't cook much before, so every time for the sake of insurance, I have to ask Du Niang first, and now the days of Du Niang's companionship are gone, so I can only rely on memory.

Mo Li first washed and peeled the pumpkin, dug out the melon pulp inside, cut it into pieces and salted it. After the pumpkin section is marinated, put the water dry and fry it in a hot oil pan until it is light yellow and firm, remove and drain the oil. Crush the salted egg yolk with a small spoon, add a little oil and stir-fry over low heat, pour the fried pumpkin into it when the egg yolk foams, add salt and sugar and stir-fry well.

Lao Qiao looked at Mo Li's hurried appearance and shook his head helplessly. Ershun was very upset with the pumpkin rinds all over the ground and the corn flour sprinkled on the stove, which he had to clean up in the end. But when the two of them tasted the baked pumpkin with egg yolk, their mood was much more beautiful than before.

"Ah Li, I didn't expect your skills to be good, but I was a little too flustered when cooking." Old Joe said earnestly. Ershun also hurriedly added: "Yes, Ah Li, you see that Uncle Qiao is always unhurried when stir-frying." After frying, the stove is always clean. ”

Mo Li scratched her head embarrassedly: "I haven't done it for a long time, my hands are very raw, I must pay attention next time." ”

Old Qiao patted her on the shoulder: "Well, if you don't do anything for a long time, you will be rusty, I will teach you in the future." ”

Being able to get Lao Qiao's approval, Mo Li was very happy. Murong Chu's egg yolk baked pumpkin appeared on the table that night, which she remade under the guidance of Lao Qiao.

"What is this?" Murong Chu had never seen this golden dish, and once again made an exception to speak during the meal.

"Baked pumpkin with egg yolk, try it, General." Mo Li looked at Murong Chu with a look of anticipation. Although he is not usually picky about what he eats, it is not easy to get him to say that it is delicious.

"How's it taste?"

"Fortunately, the skin is crispy and glutinous, salty, sweet and fragrant." Murong Chu gave an unprecedented comment, for which Mo Li felt a great honor, pursed his lips and smiled.

"You did it?"

"Uh-huh." Mo Li nodded hurriedly, "Try it casually, I didn't expect it to be successful." ”

"And then?"

"What, then?"

"Do you want to make it yourself and sell it, or sell the cooking method to Baixianglou?"

Mo Li stroked his forehead, can this guy read minds? Or do you think she's a money junkie, and she sells anything as long as she makes money? Ahh However, he was right, he really wanted to sell this recipe to Baixianglou. First, I have already cooperated with Baixianglou before, so it is more convenient to deal with it. Second, if a big restaurant like Baixianglou wants to operate for a long time, the development of new dishes is also crucial.

"I think you'll sell it to Baixianglou." Murong Chu's voice sounded again, but his tone was very firm.

"Well, maybe, but it depends on whether people are willing to buy it."

"I should buy it, Baixianglou always launches new dishes from time to time, and it is of course that there are fewer and fewer ideas to study on your own. If someone sends a ready-made dish, of course they won't say no. ”

Mo Li's eyes widened in shock, not because of the content of what Murong Chu said, but because he actually said so many things during the meal!

Murong Chu looked at her stunned appearance and felt funny, his thin lips rose slightly, outlining a good-looking arc, and his tone was much softer: "What are you doing in a daze, eat quickly." ”

"Oh......" Mo Li came back to her senses and quickly lowered her head and pulled the rice into her mouth.

The next day, just after lunch, a soldier came to report that a man claiming to be the shopkeeper of Baixianglou outside the barracks had come to find Mo Li.

Mo Li wondered, it had been less than ten days since the last time the shopkeeper Zhao came to sign the contract, and it was still early for the next delivery, so what are you looking for her now? At this moment, I only heard Murong Chu say, "Bring him in." This general is going to the big tent of the Chinese army to discuss matters, and you can negotiate with the shopkeeper here. ”

Obviously, the latter sentence is said to Mo Li. Mo Li therefore cast a grateful look at Murong Chu: "Thank you, General." To be honest, she just heard that Shopkeeper Zhao was coming, and she was worried about where to receive him. Last time it was at Mu Qingyun's place, but since Mu Qingyun threw her hand away that day, he hasn't come to look for her again, even if he accidentally bumps into her in the barracks, he will only throw her a roll of his eyes and leave the way. Now that Murong Chu took the initiative to give her the big tent, it couldn't be better.

After a while, the shopkeeper Zhao came to the tent under the leadership of the soldiers, and saw Mo Li standing at the door of the big tent waiting for him, so he clasped his fists and saluted: "Master Mo, I suddenly came to disturb you, and I ask for forgiveness." ”

"Shopkeeper Zhao is polite, please come inside." Mo Li hurriedly returned the salute and brought Shopkeeper Zhao into the big tent.

After the guests were seated, Mo Li poured a cup of tea for Shopkeeper Zhao, and considering Murong Chu's hypocritical character, she deliberately found a teacup from the kitchen in advance.

After Shopkeeper Zhao thanked him, Mo Li asked directly: "Shopkeeper Zhao came here today, I don't know what happened?" ”

"Mr. Mo, do you want to ask if the pick-up time for the next batch of goods can be advanced?"

"Oh? Shopkeeper Zhao, it won't be that the forty that I took before were sold out, right? ”

"Not really, but it's pretty much there." Shopkeeper Zhao's face was full of joy, "In the first two days, only one or two customers would order a taste, and then more and more people ordered this dish, because there were only forty of them, and I was afraid that they would not be able to sell it next month, so it could only be supplied in limited quantities every day." But even if it were, it wouldn't last a few days. ”

"The next batch will be ready for at least ten days. I don't have a few in my hand now, otherwise Shopkeeper Zhao will take it back first. Mo Li was secretly happy in his heart, it seems that people in this era still have a lot of purchasing power.

"Then we'll have to do it first." Shopkeeper Zhao's face revealed a faint disappointment.

Mo Li said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Zhao came just in time today, there is a dish, I don't know if Shopkeeper Zhao is interested in tasting it." ”

"Of course I'm interested," Shopkeeper Zhao hurriedly replied, "I don't have any special hobbies, I just like food, otherwise I wouldn't be the shopkeeper of the restaurant." ”

"Okay, shopkeeper Zhao wait a while, I'll go and prepare." Mo Li said, got up and went to the tent to call a guard to accompany Zhao's shopkeeper, and he trotted all the way to the kitchen.
