Chapter 244 - Decision (1)
"Presumably, all the guest officers have heard of the name of my Jiang family's cake, but I am afraid that many of you have only heard of its name and have not tasted it. I don't know what it tastes like, I only heard some stigma, and I definitely can't evaluate it. Jiang Han's voice paused for a moment, and when she felt that her appetite was almost gone, she smiled and said, "You guys have a good time today, before the filming starts, I want to invite you to try my cake!" Look at what kind of pastry this is, so delicious that it is coveted and rushed to the court to make a joke. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the tea guests who were sitting there who thought they knew the whole thing began to explain to some of the guests who didn't quite understand.
Jiang Han's eyes flashed, and he smiled helplessly: "It's useless to talk too much, I'll present my Jiang family's cake next." ”
Immediately, Miyu played light music again. After a while, Song Yaozu and his new buddy Ah Han walked out of the backyard with two large trays, handing out cakes table by table. Shopkeeper Wang took out a small square table and a low stool, sat on the side of Jiang Han, and put out a pen and paper, seemingly preparing to register here.
When the cake was almost distributed, Jiang Han hurriedly smiled: "There are two colors of pastries on the plate, the one with golden and bright colors is the cake that my Jiang family went to court, and the other milky white one is the new fat jade cake launched by our Lilai Teahouse, the taste is also soft, you can taste it together, if you like it, you can also buy it from our Lilai Teahouse and take it away." ”
"Little brother is good at business, you say this, I think this yellow cake is not as good as this fat jade cake, it is better for you to auction this fat jade cake!" A guest joked.
"That's right, you've made such a sensation today, and you've recruited so many of us, you can't sell the bad ones and keep the good ones for yourself, right?"
For a while, the people sitting there were coaxing whether they participated in the auction or not.
Jiang Han hurriedly stopped aloud: "Everyone, this is wrong, I auctioned this cake recipe, it was a last resort...... I have self-knowledge, how can I hold such a good thing - no longer verbose, everyone only needs to taste it, you will know my mind! ”
When everyone heard this, they didn't say much, and they used chopsticks to pick up the cake on the plate.
Jiang Han is confident in her cake, the baked cake is filled with goat's milk, which will be softer, while the steamed cake has no goat's milk, and the taste will naturally be worse, plus, the baked cake is always more fragrant than the steamed one, which is why the audience for baked cakes is far wider than that of steamed cakes.
Sure enough, after everyone finished eating, they didn't say that she was hiding her secrets.
Lu Tong, who was sitting on the left side, rolled his eyes, pretended to be dissatisfied: "Jiang Xiaoer, you just don't think that this yellow one is much more delicious than this white one, why sell it for others to profit?" Young Master Ben pays you money, you go to open a pastry shop, and you will sell these two pastries, isn't it better than you selling a recipe for ten taels of silver? He pursed his lips with a look of disdain, "However, if you want to be cheap yourself, Young Master Ben is also willing to pick up a bargain!" As he spoke, he glanced at the people around him contemptuously, as if to say, if the strength is not enough, it is better not to rob him.
Lord Shen, who was sitting in the middle, glanced at him, and the warning in his eyes was very obvious.
Before he came, he told him, don't mix blindly, this guy is really dead!
On the other side, Zhao Zhukuai laughed twice and also expressed his opinion: "The yellow one is indeed more fragrant, but the white one is also good, and the aftertaste is endless." Since the little brother of the Jiang family is an open bidding, of course, whoever bids the highest will win. Remember, bid fairly, don't mess around. Although he said it with a smile, as soon as these words came out, people who really had other thoughts also stopped thinking.
Anyway, this is the newly promoted head catcher in Qinghe County, although he is a petty official, once he is offended, he will be in trouble.
As the saying goes, the king of Hades is good, the little ghost is difficult, and there is another sentence, the strong dragon can't overpower the ground snake - no one will be stupid enough to provoke these people unless it is absolutely necessary.
Jiang Han smiled and said, "Thank you, Young Master Lu is there to support you, but it's a pity that you are sitting on the top seat today, and you are not allowed to participate in the bidding." ”
Lu Tong wanted to say more, but his hand was held down by Lord Shen, and when he turned around, he saw that Lord Shen's cold eyes were flashing with annoyance, so he closed his mouth in a hurry.
Jiang Han's heart was secretly relieved, she was really afraid that Lu Tong would deliberately play tricks on her.
She thanked Zhao Zhu again, and then said no more, and announced directly: "Okay, everyone has tasted my Jiang family's cake, and they must have counted it in their hearts, now let's talk about the rules of our auction." ”
"As advertised, the starting price is ten taels of silver, and each bid starts at five taels, and the one with the highest price wins." Her face straightened, and her voice became a little stern, "But-there must be Lao Zhao Zhutou and Lord Shen, if the person with the highest bid can't pay the money, I have to ask the two of you to make the decision, I don't want this party to go to court again!" ”
Lord Shen bowed his head, and Zhao Zhukuai responded affirmatively.
Jiang Han immediately stroked his palm and smiled: "Okay, the rules have been made clear, do you have any questions?" If there is no doubt, let's bid! ”
Immediately, someone asked, "What if your recipe is not clearly written, and we can't make it taste after reading it?" ”
"This question, this treasurer can rest assured, since I have received your money, it will definitely teach you, and I promise today that within a year, you can come to me if you have any questions. Even if you want to try a new style, but you can't figure it out, you can come to the following and discuss it together. ”
It's a pity that her promise to this sentence is not only not taken seriously, but also got a lot of secret ridicule - Fang Zi bought it back, it must be handed over to the old master to do, wait for it, and try out the new style, that is the secret recipe in their store, who will go to her to discuss and study, wouldn't that be leaking the secret recipe to outsiders?!
Jiang Han looked around, and saw that everyone was either looking up at her, or whispering to each other, the atmosphere was not too warm, she knew that she couldn't delay any longer, otherwise it would be cold, so she shouted: "Since no one has any doubts, then start bidding now, the starting price is ten taels of silver, is there anyone who wants to increase the price?" Has anyone increased the price? ”
After shouting twice, no one responded, and when Jiang Han was worried in his heart, someone finally spoke.
"I'll add a jackpot to Baixiangyuan, let's give fifteen taels!" A middle-aged man with a round face and a white fat man said.
"Hundred Fragrance Garden? Isn't that a well-known pastry shop in Qinghe County? ”
"I didn't expect them to come!" As soon as the man spoke, someone suddenly began to discuss, so everyone took care of the discussion, and no one spoke for the next price.
The scene was a little embarrassing for a while, and Jiang Han became even more nervous in his heart - don't really only sell for fifteen taels of silver!
She cleared her throat and shouted, "Baixiangyuan fifteen taels, is there any price increase?" If there is no price increase, this recipe will be auctioned in Baixiangyuan! Fifteen taels for the first time - I counted three times, that is, the auction was set, and it was invalid to increase the price......"
"Jinyu Pastry Workshop, twenty taels!"
Jiang Han breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but look at the shopkeeper of the Jinyu Pastry Shop gratefully, this person usually doesn't look up and look down, but she only feels kind today.
She hurriedly shouted: "Okay, twenty taels, is there any price increase?" ”
"Twenty-five taels!" Another one quoted the price.
"Fugui pastry shop, thirty taels!" The Zhou family also began to bid.
Jiang Han couldn't help but glance at Shopkeeper Zhou sitting in the east corridor on the second floor.
"Miao Wei Zhai, thirty-five taels!"
Wonderful Food?
Jiang Han's gaze quickly moved to the middle-aged man sitting next to Zhou's shopkeeper, the man looked back at her, and his face was as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Han laughed in her heart, the other party was so generous, she didn't need to be awkward, so she repeated: "Miaowei Zhai, thirty-five taels, but there is still a price increase?" ”
"Honey Pavilion, forty taels!"
Another unfamiliar name, and immediately a buzzing sound sounded in my ears. It turns out that this honey pavilion is the best pastry shop in Qinghe County, and the honey crisp, rose cake, and perilla cake are all very famous.
"I didn't expect them to come too! It seems that the future of this cake is good! The visitors sighed.
With the bidding of Honey Taste Pavilion, the scene finally became really lively, and there were more bidders. But with the gradual increase in prices, in the end, only the three Honey Pavilion, Miao Wei Zhai and Zhou's Fugui Pastry Shop are still competing.
When the price was called one hundred taels, Shopkeeper Zhou stood up and said to the people in the store: "Everyone, this recipe is worth so much money, why don't you sell me a rich pastry shop for face, and stop it!" ”
"Shopkeeper Zhou, look at what you said, how much is this recipe worth, everyone knows it, you don't need to say it! I don't know what other people do, but I'm very optimistic. I'll give one hundred and ten taels!" The shopkeeper of Wu refused to back down, and at this time, he had already seen that the Zhou family was bound to win, so he was optimistic about it, and he was deliberately raising the price.
Shopkeeper Zhou gritted his teeth and said with a wry smile: "My Zhou family pays one hundred and thirty taels, this is the highest price we can come up with, whoever is higher than this, we have to admit defeat and say congratulations!"
Honey Pavilion was directly silent, and the shopkeeper Wu carefully looked at the expression of the shopkeeper Zhou, and saw that the other party smiled helplessly at the leisurely Master Zhou, and his expression was vaguely full of regret and determination, as if he really wanted to give up.
The shopkeeper Wu no longer hesitated, and snorted coldly: "Forget it, let your Zhou family bargain!" ”
So far, the cake has been sold for one hundred and thirty taels of silver.
Jiang Han glanced at Shopkeeper Zhou deeply, and the admiration in his heart was a little stronger.
What an acting school! - He had to pay 150 taels to buy her recipe!
