Chapter 301: Two Point Zero
"Do you want to go up and see the kids?" Shopkeeper Zeng asked.
"Didn't he have a fever? You don't have to go up to see it, do you? Niu Ergen hugged the waist of the shopkeeper Zeng and smiled ambiguously, "It's rare for me to come here, so don't waste time on other people, right?" Hmmm"
The shopkeeper slapped his hand away and said angrily: "When are you still thinking about those things now, I am not in the mood to greet you if this matter is not solved!"
"Yo, it's just a little thing, it's not like we haven't done it before, it's not all smooth tomorrow, there is someone who can cover for you, what are you afraid of?"
The shopkeeper Zeng twisted his hand a few times to break free from Niu Ergen, sat on the chair next to the desk, and said with a worried face: "It's different now, after the old man was exposed, the county government has investigated these missing cases tightly, and the inspection department has not only strengthened the inspection of people entering and leaving, but also set up checkpoints on the two official roads leading to Luoxia Mountain. If there is a mistake and it falls into the hands of the government, we will all be finished!"
Niu Ergen sat down on the chair opposite the desk behind the shopkeeper Zeng, and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, the people in charge of the second house will be careful, Shen Hei's face blocked the way up the mountain, but the official road from Dongyue was not strictly investigated, Luoxia Mountain is so big, as long as you go around to the vendors who pretend to come from Dongyue, you will be fine." β
"Having said that, I advise you not to take Shen Hei's face lightly, anyway, he has only been in office for half a year, and he can hold Luoxia Town inside and outside in his hands, so he is not a simple person."
"Knowing and knowing, who dares to underestimate him......"
Before Niu Ergen's perfunctory words were finished, the shopkeeper Zeng interrupted and said: "I said that day, since the person is wrong, I will send it back......
"It's hard to be captured, how can there be any reason to send it back!" Niu Ergen raised his eyebrows, "Such a handsome little person is a cash cow to take care of, and there are many people over there who like to be beautiful and small, if you send it there, even if the Tian family is powerful, it will be impossible to find someone!" Besides, we kidnapped the wrong person, don't you have to think about the silver of the He family in Qinghe Kiln, take such a big risk and run away, you have to make up for it, right?!"
"If something happens to you ββ future, it's because of your greed!" The shopkeeper Zeng was full of anger and helplessness, "How can we get involved in the battle between the two rooms of the He family's big house in the Qinghe kiln......
"It's not mixed and it's mixed, don't talk about it anymore, in short, after tomorrow, as soon as the boat leaves, we can sit back and relax, and it will be impossible to find people if they turn out the boundary of Shaozhou Mansion!"
The shopkeeper stared at him angrily, pursed his lips and stopped talking, and finally sighed heavily: "Until now, I can only hope that everything will be as you wish!"
Niu Ergen stood up and walked to him, grabbed his arm, pulled him up and hugged him in his arms, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about it, everything has me!" Come on, the summer nights are short, let's not waste time on these trivial things!"
β¦β¦
Before the end of the next day, Jiang Han closed his stall and prepared to go home.
She didn't even have to borrow an ox cart, she directly loaded the two wheels of the stall, and then put the basket, tent and bamboo poles, etc., on the stall cart, and pushed it home.
When she got home, she unloaded her things and put them away, walked into the kitchen and inadvertently saw the remaining mille-feuille covered on the desk, and she suddenly thought of the inexplicable words that Liu Dakang suddenly said last night.
Peel off the lid and eat a piece, the crispy texture is rich in noodles, although there is a layer of sesame flavor missing, it is not inferior to what she eats in modern times. The key problem is that this so-called "mille-feuille" was conceived by Yun Niang according to the method of finger cakes, but her finger cakes were fried in the pan, and this mille-feuille cake was baked by Yun Niang from layers of shortbread cakes in her earthen oven. There are also small biscuits that she made for Xiao An to take to the private school before, which are similar to biscuits baked under the inspiration of her cakes, but the biscuits made by Yun Niang are not very good-looking and taste not as good as modern biscuits, so she didn't care too much.
She ate another small piece of mille-feuille, shook her head, and said to herself: "It's not me who really has a talent for dim sum, but Yun Niang!" If these two models are improved, they should be able to get dozens or hundreds of taels of silver if they are sold to the Zhou family, right? Especially the biscuits, which are not eaten in this poor ravine in this day and age. β
Last night, she just couldn't see Liu Dakang's embarrassment and casually threatened, but she didn't know that she was crooked, which made Huang Yuanwai's attitude change greatly.
It seems that the battle between the Huang family in the dark this week is not simple!
That's right, this Zhou family is only worse than the Huang family in terms of family power, if it weren't for the fact that the Huang family is a native of Luoxia Town, the Zhou family just moved from other places a few decades ago and the foundation is not too deep, and the position of the richest man is likely to be replaced.
"Sister, what are you talking about" Yun Niang happened to walk in.
"Oh, I'm wondering if you want to sell this dim sum recipe to the Zhou family?" If they sell it, they can not only get a sum of money to do something else, but also help the Zhou family to respond to Huang Yuanwai.
Yun Niang looked at her in amazement: "This can be sold"
"Why can't it be delicious, I don't know if the mille-feuille is sold in the pastry shop, but there are definitely no small biscuits."
"Cookies"
"It's the one you occasionally did Xiao An take to school."
Yun Niang's eyes suddenly shone brightly: "Then, how much does my sister think she can sell?" β
"Two squares can at least be sold for a few dozen taels, if we don't build momentum for it, we will definitely not be able to sell the cake recipe at the price." Jiang Han swallowed the last bite of the mille-feuille, patted the oil residue on his hand and said.
"That's a lot!" Yun Niang suddenly paused, and said in a deep voice, "Sister, can't we think of two more dim sum and sell them at the stall?" The Huang family shouldn't set up a stall anymore, and now the spicy skewer business is not good, so let's make some dim sum to sell when we go out again, if the market is good, let's rent another stall to make a dim sum stall. After speaking, she looked at Jiang Han with a pair of sparkling eyes, and expected her to affirm her thoughts.
"That's a good idea, but we have to calculate the cost, if the cost is too high, we won't be able to sell it at a price in Washi Street."
"Then let's do the math! If you sell the recipe to others, it is someone else's, and if you hold it in your own hands, it will be a constant source of money. β
"You think too simply, if the business is not good, it is better to sell it for a sum of money and make the preparatory funds for our restaurant......"
Just as he was saying this, there was a sound in the courtyard, and then a child's angry voice sounded: "...... If you urge me again, young master, I will tell my mother that you are not dedicated to serving, and let her sell you and find me a little scholar again!"
"Who is this, with such a horizontal tone?" Jiang Han walked out of the kitchen as he spoke.
I saw Xiao An coming here with a black face, and the little fat man with a displeased face followed behind was not Wang Xiaoli, who was it?!
"Sister, he has to come back with me!" Xiao An had a bitter face as soon as he saw Yun Niang who came out behind Jiang Han.
As soon as Wang Xiaoli saw Jiang Han, he shouted: "Jiang Han, you are deceiving, why don't you sell the cakes that Xie Anji ate?" β
Jiang Han rolled his eyes: "What do you know about selling your little child in a teahouse, your father is so black-hearted that he wants to smoke me fifty percent...... Alas, you don't understand it, let's talk about it when you grow up and be the master of the teahouse! β
"I know everything......"
"Got a fart! You always come to my house, do you bring any money? Don't keep trying to come and eat and drink for nothing. β
"I have money, how much do you want?" The little fat man Wang Xiaoli turned his head to look at his little scholar, "Ah Hou, give me the money bag!"
Ah Hou took a step back and covered his chest in embarrassment, and inside was a hidden bag containing money: "Young master, Mrs. said that money can't be cheated......"
"Give it to me!"
"What do you mean, kid?"
Wang Xiaoli and Jiang Han jumped at the same time, Yun Niang looked at the inexplicable similarity of one big and one small, and said, "Okay, just a few pieces of cake, you don't want to play tricks on the little master of the Wang family." Aren't you going to Million Dollar Restaurant? It's already time to apply, so you don't want to go quickly. β
When Ah Hou heard this, he said with an anxious face: "Then, young master, let's take the cake quickly and go with him!" Mrs. said that someone has been kidnapping children recently, and the old king didn't pick us up, let's go with the Jiang family's brother, he is an adult, no one has taken him captive, and we will be safe. β
Obviously, Ah Hou's abacus was wrong.
Along the way, Jiang Han was begging Wang Xiaoli to give money, Wang Xiaoli asked him several times to take it, but he refused, and immediately became angry and threatened to sell him, so frightened that he just covered his chest and walked with his head bored, and he didn't dare to talk.
If this money is fooled, it will definitely be sold by the master mother to work as a coolie in the mine or as a small man in the kiln! These are the words that Wang says every day!
One big and two small ones chattered and walked, completely unaware that when they were crossing the bluestone bridge leading to Xixia Street in Dongzhen, they were inadvertently discovered by the three Zhu Yang masters and servants who ran out.
"Young Master, isn't that Jiang Xiaoer? Was the child he had taken his cousin? The little servant Ah Fu pointed to the backs of the three people in front of him and said, "Where are they going?" β
Zhu Yang squinted his eyes and said, "It doesn't matter where they are going, let's quietly follow and have a look, don't you know!"
"Young Master is wise!" Ah Fu laughed doggedly.
"Young master, let's go back quickly, it would be bad if your uncle found out about what you stole out!" The little servant Ah Lu frowned and persuaded.
Zhu Yang glanced at Ah Lu viciously: "Ah Lu, I just listened to you all the way!" Let's just follow him, not to fight, look at your cowardly and scared look, I'm afraid that you will have to do something with him, hurry up and get back to me!"
"Young master, my uncle said that you are not allowed to come out again until the matter is over, and you have only been grounded for three days......"
"Ah Lu, are you the young master's person, or the uncle's person, why do you always turn your arms out?"
Ah Fu's words simply added fuel to the fire, Zhu Yang looked at Ah Lu with a cold face, and said, "You won't secretly accept your uncle's benefits and secretly help him spy on Young Master Ben."
"No, no!" Ah Lu's face turned white with fright: "Young master, there are absolutely no small ones, the small ones are all for your good!" Think about it, how angry our uncle was when we came back from the Inspection Department that day......"
"Okay, Ah Lu, don't make a look like only you are loyal to the young masterββ if you don't have two hearts, just listen to the young master, don't keep dragging your feet!"
Ah Lu was so choked that he couldn't speak. Is he dragging his feet? He's obviously doing this for the good of his young master!
It's not the first time that the young master has caused trouble because of his impulsiveness, recklessness, and idleness, is it true that he still has to listen to the young master in everything, and if something big happens, it will be these little guys who will bear the brunt of the disaster!
Seeing this, Ah Fu proudly hooked the corners of his lips. This Ah Lu just has no eyes, of course they have to make the master happy as their own responsibility, and the uncle is only the uncle when he is angry, because of the identity of the young master, he only reprimands them for a few words, and the heavy punishment is still the people of the Huang family!
His eyes were skeptical, and he said, "Young master, I'm afraid we won't be able to control that Jiang Xiaoer, do you want to go back and call a few people?" β
Zhu Yang looked at the three people looming in the crowd and shook his head: "It's too late to go back...... However, this place is not far from my aunt's Quanwei Zhai, and I heard that there is an increase in the number of guards there, so you go and call three or five of them now, and I will follow with Ah Lu first, young master. Again, he emphasized, "Hurry up!" Don't be caught up to us!"
