Chapter 25: Sellers
The shopkeeper of Qi ordered someone to bring some dishes up, and the owner of Guanlanju invited Hua Qingyan and Hu Baizhi to sit down and talk while eating. Hu Baizhi was still a little hesitant at first, but she was pressed on the stool by the unpretentious Hua Qingyan. Hu Baizhi is heartless, and when she saw so many dishes on the table that she couldn't eat on weekdays, she was immediately captured by the food.
The man didn't talk nonsense to Hua Qingyan, and went straight to the point: "I'm very interested in the girl's three dishes, I don't know if the girl can sell me all the recipes." ”
Since Hua Qingyan made these dishes, she was thinking about selling the recipe as well. Although the owner of Guanlanju looks a little demonic, he should also be a kind person, and the most important thing is that Hua Qingyan's perception of the shopkeeper's father and son is very good. However, Hua Qingyan has never done business with anyone, and this kind of scene is inevitably a little panicked. She used silence to hide the slightest apprehension in her heart, and knocked on the table: "I don't know how much the owner plans to give?" After a pause, he added, "These dishes are all unique to the little girl, and I believe the owner has understood the value of this." ”
The man poured himself a glass of wine and took a sip, "Naturally. How about fifty taels for one square and one hundred and eighty taels for three? ”
Hua Qingyan was stunned, she didn't expect the man to offer such a high price. She originally thought that these three squares could be sold for fifty taels and it would be very good, but now they are sold for a high price of one hundred and eighty taels! You must know that ten taels of silver in the backing village can make a family of three live for a year! Hua Qingyan, who came back to her senses, showed a hint of joy on her face. She sold honeysuckle to Hu Langzhong in the past few days, and she made less than two taels of silver!
Even Hu Baizhi was a little incredulous, she put down her chopsticks and swallowed her saliva, and grabbed Hua Qingyan's arm, "Qingyan, it's really one hundred and eighty taels!" ”
The man saw the reaction of the two in his eyes, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "The two girls did not hear it wrong, and they are willing to pay one hundred and eighty taels to buy the girl's three prescriptions." "He has been running around all the year round, and the money he spends on every sum of money is several times more than this one hundred and eighty taels, or even dozens of times. It's the first time I've encountered this situation, but it's funny. "And the girl's recipe is worth the price."
Hua Qingyan thought about it, and the owner was not wrong. Look at the owner's bearing, it must be more than just a restaurant in Chaoyang Town, and if he sells his own recipe to him, he will definitely be able to create more wealth. After figuring it out, Hua Qingyan nodded happily: "Then according to what the owner said, three squares, one hundred and eighty taels." ”
The man put down his glass and said, "But I have one more condition." ”
"Boss, please."
"Since the girl sold the recipe to me, she can't resell it to anyone else. If I find out that the girl has violated the law, the girl will pay ten times the compensation. The man looked at Hua Qingyan very seriously, and his tone was also serious.
Hua Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, she originally thought it was a strict requirement, if this was the case, she could do it, "This owner can rest assured that the little girl will not sell that credibility for money." But there are some things that still have to be made clear, "If other restaurants have tasted it and researched it themselves, it has nothing to do with the little girl." ”
The man smiled and asked Qi Yu on the side to take the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that had been prepared a long time ago and put it on the table, "Girl, please." ”
The business was negotiated, and Hua Qingyan began to write the recipe without saying a word. The man looked at the delicate hairpins that gradually appeared on the rice paper, raised his eyebrows, and his eyes seemed to fall on Hua Qingyan's face inadvertently, and a trace of obscurity flashed in his eyes.
Although this girl is dressed in shabby clothes, her temperament and appearance are excellent, and she is not like a small place like Chaoyang Town that can be raised. And he thought that this girl was very familiar before, and now when he heard her name, he remembered Hua Qingyan, the daughter of Marshal Hua in Yongjing, who had been sentenced to be beheaded. Now looking at the girl's handwriting, he is even more sure of the conjecture in his heart.
It's just that how can someone who should have died appear in this remote town? Do you still make money by selling vegetables? The man was puzzled, and the girl next to Hua Qingyan didn't seem to know her identity, otherwise how could this ordinary person be friends with a fugitive?
While the man's thoughts were surging, Hua Qingyan had already written the recipe for boiled fish, mushroom and egg soup and dried cauliflower, and also included a recipe for braised pork, which can be described as full of sincerity. The man took the recipe and looked at it casually, looking at the recipe that was outside the agreement, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little more pleasant. This Hua Qingyan is kind and not greedy.
When Qi Yu saw the recipe in his hand, he suddenly remembered the bamboo building that Hua Qingyan left in the back kitchen, and couldn't help asking, "Girl, can you sell us those ingredients you brought?" ”
The only ingredients Hua Qingyan brought were cauliflower and mushrooms, and these two were the main ingredients for the dry stir-fried cauliflower and mushroom soup. Chefs naturally need to practice after getting the recipe, and these ingredients are the urgent need to solve Guanlanju. Otherwise, they don't know where to collect them.
Hua Qingyan understood Qi Yu's thoughts, but since it was for sale, it was natural to set a price, so Hua Qingyan asked naturally: "I don't know what price the owner plans to use?" You know, I'm the only ingredient. ”
Looking at the cunning in Hua Qingyan's eyes, the man smiled faintly: "Although the girl is not very old, this business is doing well." I'm afraid I can be my opponent in the future. ”
got such a high evaluation, Hua Qingyan smiled unfazedly and did not reply.
The man didn't care, his slender fingers rubbed the delicate wine glass, and he thought for a while before saying, "It's better to be like this, this cauliflower is 100 wen per catty, and the mushroom is 150 wen per catty, is it feasible?" ”
Hua Qingyan secretly calculated an account in her heart, the white meat, that is, the fat meat, is thirty wen a catty, the red meat, that is, the lean meat, is twenty-five wen, and the big bone is ten wen. The chicken is only sold, and it is fifteen wen a ...... In this way, the price of 100 yuan for cauliflower and 150 yuan for mushrooms is considered a high price. Hua Qingyan nodded quickly without hesitation.
"In the future, I will ask the girl to provide these two ingredients for my Guanlanju." The man quickly added another sentence, Hua Qingyan blinked, but he did not refuse. These two things are indeed only known to her now, especially mushrooms, if they can't be recognized, it is a big sin to get poisonous.
The man drafted the contract according to what he said before, in triplicate, and wrote the recipe and the price of the dish at the same time. Hua Qingyan took the contract and read it carefully, and after confirming that there were no loopholes and loopholes, she signed her name at the end, but Hua Qingyan still reminded, "I can't provide you with these two ingredients every day, why don't you do it once a week?" Hua Qingyan paused, and then said, "Of course, you can ask the guys to collect it, but this cauliflower is okay to say, I'm afraid that the mushrooms need to be cautious, and if they are bad, you can't blame me." A little girl could not afford to be guilty of taking her life. ”
Although the man was not very satisfied with once a week, he could only reluctantly agree considering the particularity of mushrooms. "I don't know where the girl lives, if the girl is inconvenient, Guanlanju can come to the door."
Hua Qingyan frowned, the man's proposal was really good, but at this time she didn't have her own territory, and the people who rushed to Guanlanju came to the door, and the Hua family knew about it, and she didn't know what kind of moth was going to be made. At this time, Hu Baizhi, who had been watching the excitement for a long time, hurriedly said: "You can go to the mountain village to find Hu Langzhong." In Hu Langzhong's family, Qingyan can naturally be found. ”
After collecting the contract, he left the vegetables he brought, and with the money and vegetables given by the shopkeeper Qi in his arms, he pulled Hu Baizhi to leave. But the moment they stepped out of the private room, a man's faint voice came from behind them.
"Hua Qingyan, my name is Jin Nanshu."
In the private room, Jin Nanshu drank tea while looking out the window at the street. Seeing that the girl who came with Hua Qingyan was pulling Hua Qingyan to laugh like a child on the street, the two of them danced and made a grimace at the banquet building opposite.
watched the two disappear at the end of the street, Jin Nanshu retracted his gaze, and saw that Qi Yu was still standing beside him, Jin Nanshu motioned for him to sit down and speak, "Qi Yu thinks I have done this business well?" ”
Qi Yu nodded. The proprietor's business is naturally cost-effective. Whether it was those three recipes, or the ingredients brought by Hua Qingyan at a high price. There was Hua Qingyan's dish in Daqi before, which was unique, and it was naturally worthy of the price given by the owner, with these three dishes and the unique ingredients, Guanlanju's business would naturally flourish. The owner's actions today also have the meaning of befriending that girl, presumably there are more than these three recipes on that girl, and the girl will definitely take into account him first when selling vegetables in the future, no matter how you look at it, this business is cost-effective. It's just the girl......
"Young master, although that flower girl is dressed in rags, she is not good in temperament and appearance, I think, she will not be an ordinary peasant girl, this girl's identity is very suspicious." Although Qi Yu is just a subordinate, he is very valued by Jin Nanshu, and there are some things that others can't say, but he can say it unscrupulously.
"Hua Qingyan." Jin Nanshu closed the folding fan and tapped it on the palm of his hand, and the corners of his mouth showed a touch of meaning, "If that person knows, the people of the Hua family are still having to sell their children in this small Chaoyang Town, I don't know how they will feel." ”
Qi Yu listened to Jin Nanshu's self-talk and looked at him, not to explore anyone in his young master's mouth, although he was curious, but he was not qualified, so he warned himself not to exceed the rules.
Jin Nanshu knocked on the back of his hand heavily, and said in a serious tone: "Qi Yu, you go and help me find out about Hua Qingyan's affairs, from the time she arrives at the backer village, you can't miss anything at all!" ”
Qi Yu nodded respectfully: "Yes, young master." ”
