Chapter 222: Refreshments
Jiang Han looked at the man in front of him in surprise, and for a while he didn't know whether to complain about Lord Shen's crow's mouth, or lamented why he always had things going wrong.
At noon, the man suddenly came and asked for her.
As soon as he came up, he said straight to the point: "Your family's tea recipe is very good, but unfortunately, it is really a pearl in the hands of you small people." However, we have taken a fancy to Miaowei Zhai, you can make a price, we will pay for it! "The man is twenty-three or four-year-old, but he has a mustache on his thin lips, and he claims to be the second shopkeeper surnamed Wan Nai Miaowei Zhai, with a strong figure, wearing a bamboo blue satin robe with a pattern of less than 10,000 characters, a pair of thin eyes flashing with ruthlessness and greed from time to time, and his posture when he speaks is even more lofty and invincible, as if he is willing to come to talk has given her a big face.
It's just a second shopkeeper, but with such an attitude and tone, I'm afraid this wonderful taste has some background.
Jiang Han had a big alarm bell in his heart, if he didn't deal with this matter well, he was afraid that he would be in trouble.
She bowed respectfully and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Wan, I'm really sorry, this recipe is the ancestral heirloom of my cousin's family, and I can't be the master." Why don't you go back and discuss with her, and then give you an answer in five days, what do you think? β
In five days, she should be able to come up with a foolproof solution.
After a moment of silence, she asked again, "Also, I don't know who your owner is?" β
"Hmph, don't you think I'm a second shopkeeper who is not qualified enough to talk to you? Don't think too highly of yourself, it's not my turn to be a little bit of a trivial matter. The shopkeeper's face was pulled, and a vicious light shot out of his eyes at the same time.
This is a man who will be rewarded!
Jiang Han thought secretly in his heart, but he smiled more kindly: "Shopkeeper Wan misunderstood, I have to ask clearly to say no to my cousin." β
"Okay, then I'll tell you that the owner of our Miaowei Zhai is the richest man in Luoxia Town, Huang Yuanwai."
It turned out to be Huang Yuanwai!
Does this count as a lack of rivalry?
She beat up Huang Yuanwai's nephew violently, and he also threatened to see her and beat her once......
Jiang Han became more cautious in his heart.
"I don't think you will talk about five days later, I will give you a day, and at this time tomorrow we will pay the money with one hand and the other with the prescription." The shopkeeper glanced at her with his nostrils facing the sky, his robe was lifted, and he stood up and was about to leave.
"No, no, Wan Shopkeeper, I can't promise you this. It has to be five days! My cousin's Xie family is also a family with some prestige and power, and his family's ancestral recipe is not sold just for sale. In a hurry, she could only deliberately say Yun Niang's surname vaguely and fool the people in front of her.
Shopkeeper Wan looked at her suspiciously and said, "Where is the Xie family?" I haven't heard of the Xie family. Seeing that her brows were furrowed and her face was full of embarrassment, as if she was really afraid of the Xie family, Shopkeeper Wan couldn't help lowering her attitude a little, "Then don't say five days, just three days, I'll come back in three days!" β
"No, no, it has to be five days!"
"Hey, you kid, don't be embarrassed, I said three days, three days, you are long-winded, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless." The voice of the shopkeeper suddenly became arrogant, he pushed Jiang Han away, and said viciously, "That is, our shopkeeper must be a good person, if I directly rob your prescription, what can you do?" With that, without waiting for Jiang Han's reaction, he walked out of the elegant room directly.
Jiang Han immediately chased after him, but the shopkeeper of Ten Thousand stepped down the stairs in a few steps, stood in the middle of the lobby and said loudly to the shopkeeper Wang: "Wang Lilai, you little guy is too ignorant, it seems that you don't want to open the teahouse anymore." He snorted coldly and looked at Jiang Han behind him suspiciously.
The shopkeeper Wang was inexplicable, but he intuitively felt that Jiang Han had caused trouble again, and couldn't help but apologize while coming forward to stop Jiang Han.
Subsequently, Jiang Han inquired from the tea guest that the shopkeeper of ten thousand turned out to be Wan Shun, the nephew of Huang Deyi, the chief housekeeper of the Huang family.
Huang Deyi is the son of the Huang family and is deeply trusted by Huang Yuanwai. He has only one sister and has been very affectionate since childhood. His sister was the eldest maid of the Huang family's aunt and grandmother, and at the age of twenty, she got rid of her slavery and married a millet merchant in Baihe Town, sixty miles away. Originally, it was a family of Hehe Meimei, but seven or eight years ago, his brother-in-law was somehow cheated out of his family wealth, and he couldn't think of hanging himself, so Huang Yuanwai took his sister and nephew Wanshun to Luoxia Town.
This Wan Shun has been pampered since he was a child, and he has developed a domineering and arrogant personality, and after being arranged by Huang Deyi to work in the Huang family's shop, he relied on his uncle to be a celebrity in front of Huang Yuanwai, and often did not take others in his eyes, and changed the ** shop in four or five years, causing a lot of trouble. Huang Deyi couldn't bear it anymore and drove the mother and son back to Baihe Town together. Wan Shun couldn't stand the hard life of Baihe Town, and came back cheekily to beg in less than a month, Huang Deyi saw that for his mother's sake, he let him enter Miaowei Zhai again, and ordered the shopkeeper to take strict care, so he restrained his words and deeds, and was promoted to the second shopkeeper in less than three years.
After Jiang Han learned this, she didn't know what to say, and two more people came outside the door who indicated that they were looking for her.
This is the shopkeeper and guy of the dim sum shop and the rich pastry shop of Zhou Yuanwai in Dongzhen.
This week, outside the staff is the owner of Aunt Tian's third son.
The shopkeeper, also surnamed Zhou, greeted her as soon as he came up, and then said with a kind smile: "My young lady has been drinking a bowl of your bubble tea every day recently, and then eating a few pieces of your cake." No, my lord also tasted a few bites a few days ago, and I think it tastes good, especially the cake, which has a unique flavor. β
"The master thinks it's a pity that such a good thing is just sold in our East Town every day. Later, when I inquired, I learned that this was a recipe you figured out in order to repay your debts, and my master asked me to talk to you. Shopkeeper Zhou paused and said kindly, "Our Zhou family is willing to pay one hundred and twenty taels of silver to buy your recipe for cakes and milk tea, I don't know if Brother Jiang is willing." β
As soon as Jiang Han heard his words, he knew that they must have asked Aunt Tian, and when she went home last night, the two aunts got off work early and didn't get her explanation, Aunt Tian must have told the Zhou family without concealment, so there was no need for her to be sloppy with these two people.
What's more, with the backdrop of the Hengren surnamed Wan, these two people spoke respectfully and warmly, which made people embarrassed to respond.
She said bluntly: "Shopkeeper Zhou, to tell you the truth, I don't want to sell this recipe." If you sell it, you are killing chickens and taking eggs. Thinking of Wan Shun's attitude, she added, "Even if I have to sell it, I am not satisfied with this price." β
"The price is negotiable. I don't know how much the little brother wants? Shopkeeper Zhou smiled disapprovingly.
"You are asking me all of a sudden, and I don't know how much is appropriate. It's better to go back and discuss with my father and cousin first, and if you come to me again at this time in two days, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. β
"No problem, I'll go back and tell the master what the little brother said." He hesitated for a second, and then said, "Just now we were on Xixia Street, and we saw the shopkeeper of Miaowei Zhai, WanerβI don't know, he came to buy a child from the little brother like us?" β
Jiang Han bowed his head quietly, secretly observing the reaction of Shopkeeper Zhou.
A trace of worry flashed between the eyebrows of Shopkeeper Zhou, and he said solemnly: "Please also ask Brother Jiang to take more precautions, this shopkeeper of ten thousand has some uncompromising means - this is not Xiao Lao'er's nonsense behind people, you only need to inquire to know." He got up and said goodbye politely, "Little Lao'er will definitely arrive on time in two days, and I hope that Brother Jiang will not sell the recipe before this." β
