In the middle of the hour, on the dirt road leading to Yunjia Village, there were carriages coming one after another, and the head of the village asked the villagers where the Zhao family was, and the villagers led them to the back street very diligently, and soon, the Zhao family gathered seven or eight shopkeepers in the hall house in the courtyard, and the peers were enemies, and everyone greeted politely on the surface, and they were secretly competing in their hearts, for fear of being taken advantage of by the other party and robbing the source of customers.

Zhao Fengnian called someone to the back to send a letter to Rui Xue, and Rui Xue went to the kitchen to pick up the beautiful and delicious dishes of yesterday and made two dishes, and the shopkeepers were still a little hesitant, but after tasting it, their eyes were full of light.

An old shopkeeper stroked his beard and said first, "Boss Zhao, let's not learn from that woman, let's just talk about business if we care about the gains and losses of a sentence or two." Tofu is eaten, Xiao Lao'er is very optimistic, and I plan to customize dozens of dollars every day, I don't know what the price and this dish recipe are? ”

A red-faced middle-aged shopkeeper next to him was obviously in a hurry, and then the old man's voice shouted, "No, this tofu is a good thing, it must sell well in the restaurant, just this recipe, Boss Zhao looked at it and took a charter out, and everyone discussed." ”

Everyone nodded, and this asked, "Didn't there be six dishes at the poetry meeting yesterday, why are there only two things today, and Boss Zhao is hiding it." ”

The one said, "Although the tofu is good, there is no recipe for it, so we can't eat it with soy sauce when we buy it." ”

Zhao Fengnian raised his right hand lightly, pressed down at will, and waited for everyone to calm down before he said, "Shopkeepers, don't be anxious, since our workshop sells tofu, there are naturally recipes for making tofu. After a while, he will take it out and divide it among the people, and he will not make it difficult for everyone. As for the price, it is sold to the villagers on weekdays for four yuan a piece, a wooden board for twenty-four yuan, a total of ninety-six yuan. ”

Hearing this, do you want to send the recipe for nothing?

All the shopkeepers are stunned, they are all running restaurants, but they know the preciousness of the recipe best, often a good dish, is the signboard of the restaurant, how many old customers can be attracted. Take Zhenqilou as an example, I bought a recipe for eight-treasure cloth bag chicken last year, and it cost 200 taels of silver. Today, I suddenly heard that someone gave it away for nothing, and I really couldn't believe it for a while.

Or the old man opened his mouth, "Little old man Xie Zhao Boss is generous, but this recipe is really precious, and the boss really wants to give it away for nothing?" ”

Zhao Fengnian nodded, "Zhao never regrets when he speaks, and if he says that he will give it away for nothing, he will give it away for nothing." This tofu is a new food, only the business of your shopkeeper is booming, the reputation of tofu has spread, and the business of our workshop is better, which is a good thing for reciprocity. ”

Everyone's faces were filled with joy, eight dishes, this is profitable.

The old man listened to Zhao Fengnian's words, the deeper the admiration in his eyes, now it has become a trend for diners in the city to look for tofu feasts, the more they can't eat, the more they feel delicious, if the Zhao family's workshop takes this opportunity to raise the price of the recipe, or increase the price of tofu, they can only endure it, but the Zhao family not only does not want money for the recipe, but also does not even mention the price of tofu.

"Since Boss Zhao is so generous, we can't be too stingy, the weekday trading is four wen a piece, and one board is ninety-six wen, then we will have a fixed price, ninety wen a board, how?"

Everyone took the recipe for nothing, so naturally it was not good to lower the price too much, so they all agreed with it.

Zhao Fengnian pondered for a moment, thought about it and responded, "Deal." In the future, as long as you still buy tofu from the Zhao family's workshop, a new recipe will be sent every month. ”

"Really? That's great. The crowd was even more happy, this one said, "We are rich and noble, and we want two plates of tofu every day." ”

That one also rushed to say, "We want three boards in Baiyunju." ”

In this way, it only took a moment to set out thirty plates of tofu, or... Daily! Coupled with the customized ones from each village, as well as the ones sold at odds, forty plates of tofu will be made every day!

Gao Fuquan and Zhang Dahe, who were standing outside the door and waiting, glanced at each other, and the joy on their faces could not be hidden, and Yun Xiaoliu, who had just entered the workshop, also smiled and whispered, "If everyone in the city eats the tofu of our workshop, it is not to make more every day." ”

Zhang Dahe motioned for him to be silent, and the joy in his eyes deepened.

Very block, the restaurant shopkeepers negotiated when to take the tofu every day, a few days as soon as the bill, signed the deed of sale, each brought a plate of tofu and a few recipes, and hurried back to the city, after all, they still have to give the chefs time to ponder and grope, this recipe is generally the same, the chef's skills are different, tomorrow the first day to open the tofu feast, the taste is good, but it is quite important.

Zhao Fengnian accepted the deed paper, instructed Zhang Dahe to say a few words, and came back to the backyard, a few boys were shouting that their wrists hurt, Rui Xue smiled and said that they would be rewarded with a good dish at noon, and the three of them discussed for a long time and ordered braised pork.

As soon as they saw Zhao Fengnian coming in, Da Zhuang and Heizi saluted, smiled and pulled the reluctant Wu Yu and ran out.

Ruixue poured tea for Zhao Fengnian, and was very happy to hear that there was so much tofu, thinking that she hadn't seen Lei Zi's daughter-in-law and sister-in-law Qian for several days, so she said, "I'll go out for a walk, and I'll come back at noon to cook two good dishes for you, and simply celebrate." ”

Zhao Fengnian also knew that she rarely had time to go out and walk around, so he naturally responded, took her hand, went to the stove and the warehouse, loaded some eggs and snacks, and then sent her out of the door.

Zhang Dahe was busy transporting beans and soaking beans, Cui Niang took pomegranates and Yingzi, washed the tofu cloth as white as snow, and hung it in the yard.

The rules of the workshop are for two meals in breakfast and lunch, breakfast is mostly snow soup on fire or steamed bread pickles, lunch is more sumptuous, one meat and one vegetable two dishes, or one dish and one soup matching, on steamed buns, full to eat, this is the same that everyone is most happy in addition to wages.

The three women walked to the door and saw that the carriage had stopped, so they thought it was the shopkeeper in the city who got the letter late, but as a result, as soon as the car door opened, two young sons came down, the handsome and extraordinary in white, and the evil and beautiful in red, all of whom were rare to see on weekdays.

The man in white frowned slightly, as if he was a little displeased, but the boy in red threw a wink lightly, Cui Niang was the first to wake up, pulled Yingzi and Pomegranate beside her, and then stepped forward to salute and asked, "May I ask the two sons, is there something wrong with coming to the door?" ”

The man in white glanced at the plaque on the door, and replied lightly, "Go in and inform your husband, and say that old friends from Tongcheng are visiting!" ”

The man in red seemed to be joking, and not to be outdone, he also added, "Also tell Mrs. Zhao that Chu Ershao is visiting!" The man in white glared at him, but he didn't say anything to stop him.

Cui Niang responded, instructed Yingzi and Pomegranate to slowly lead the two of them into the door, and then trotted to the account room.

Zhao Fengnian was keeping accounts, and when he heard the words "Tongcheng old friends", a touch of joy instantly surged in his eyes, and he threw down his pen and walked out quickly.

was in the courtyard to meet the man in white, the two were stunned for a moment at the same time, suddenly hugged each other, patted each other's shoulders hard, but their mouths were choked, and they couldn't speak for a long time.

Zhao Fengnian usually has a cold temperament, and only people who are very familiar with him are willing to say a few more words, so suddenly embraced a stranger so enthusiastically, Zhang Dahe was so shocked that several people stopped their work and looked over, Zhao Fengnian's eyes swept to everyone's faces, then he let go of his hand and said with a smile, "Brother Bai, don't come for a few months, don't come unharmed?" ”

Bai Zhanpeng was half annoyed and half emotional, and said hatefully, "I should ask you this, you have disappeared for half a year, do you know how the brothers searched the martial arts country to find you?" ”

Zhao Fengnian's eyes darkened, and he turned to smile and said, "Let the brothers follow suit, when they get together, I will make amends to everyone." ”

Bai Zhanpeng was obviously stunned, looking at Zhao Fengnian's eyes as if he had countless small hooks, eager to open his clothes, even flesh and blood, to see the heart inside, it is still not a friend who has known him for many years, you must know that friend is a very proud person, even if the brothers are lifelong friends, they have never heard him say a soft word, and today they actually heard two sentences as soon as they met, which is really novel.

Zhao Fengnian naturally knew that he had changed a lot, but there were many people in the courtyard, and it was not easy to explain, so he led him to the second courtyard.

Chu Gehuan was ignored by the two, but he was not at all dissatisfied, and leisurely shook the golden fan and followed.

Entering the courtyard and sitting at the stone table under the laurel tree drinking tea, Zhao Fengnian realized that there was such a person, raised his eyebrows invisibly, bowed his hand, and said with a smile, "Second Prince Chu, how can you have time to get to the cold house today?" ”

Chu Gehuan returned the salute, sat down consciously, and said with a smile, "I really like the dishes at the poetry meeting, and today I heard that Brother Bai was coming to visit, so I followed with a cheeky face." Zhao Niangzi is available? I wonder if I can have a feast today? ”

Zhao Fengnian didn't like his tone of treating his house as a restaurant and Ruixue as a cook, but he didn't say much, so he only stared at Bai Zhanpeng.

Bai Zhanpeng was helpless and said with a smile, "Brother Chu Xian is a friend I met by chance a few years ago, and this time I came to Lingfeng, I went to visit him first, but I didn't expect you to know each other." ”

Zhao Fengnian nodded, "Chu Er Shao is very literary and charming, and he is extremely famous in Lingfeng City, and it is rare to have someone who does not know. On that day, when I was seriously ill, thanks to him for guiding Neizi to find a good doctor to come to the rescue, speaking of which, Chu Ershao was still half of my life-saving benefactor. ”

Chu Gehuan naturally knew that his thanks were fake, and he was sarcastic about his romantic name, which everyone knew was true, but he didn't care, but instead said, "Brother Zhao is polite, but it's just a gesture." The tone was even a little proud, and Zhao Fengnian felt even more itchy when he heard it.
