Chapter 117: Scramble
"Wait!" When Steward Yao saw the purchase of the Zhenyu Mansion to move the basket, he was in a hurry and said loudly, "Everything has to be said to come first and come first!" These vegetables have been packed by me! Little girl, you have this money, it's not enough to ask me again!! ”
Steward Yao stuffed a purse into Xiaocao's hand, as if she didn't accept it. Xiaocao cried and laughed, and there were twenty or thirty taels of silver. Take the most expensive lettuce as an example, twenty-five wen a catty, twenty or thirty taels of silver can buy a thousand catties. These baskets of vegetables in their own house are only four or five hundred catties when they are full, how can they use so much silver?
Qian Xiaoduo is for the sake of his own restaurant, of course, he refuses to give up this opportunity. Not to be outdone, he said: "Steward Yao, in our Tang Ancient Town, there is no forced buying and selling!" The little girl didn't say that she wanted to sell it to you, and it was useless to give money! ”
Steward Yao was so angry that his beard was cocked, and he pointed at Qian Xiaoduo and shouted, "Who bought and sold it?" The little girl sells vegetables and I buy vegetables, this is a fair trade! When I go to the county master, I also take care of it!! Don't think that with the support of the delicacies and the Zhou family, you kid can say that the white is black! ”
"If you're willing to buy, people have to be willing to sell? Stuffing money into people's hands is not a forced purchase......"
The two argued for a while, and each said his own reason. From ancient times to the present, wherever there is right and wrong, there has always been no shortage of people to watch the excitement. All of a sudden, with Yu Xiaocao and the four of them as the center, the inner and outer three floors were surrounded by water.
Yu Xiaocao and her father glanced at each other helplessly, they couldn't watch the two of them quarrel like cockfights.
Xiaocao stepped forward, pulled Qian Xiaoduo back two steps, and said to Steward Yao, "Steward Yao, right?" With so many vegetables, can your master eat them all in one day? If you can't finish it, it won't be fresh! ”
Steward Yao was so anxious that his head was sweating: "Little girl, I won't tell you!" Our lord will hold a birthday banquet tomorrow, and everything else is ready, just waiting for these vegetables to save the emergency! ”
At this time, energy saving took out fresh vegetables for a banquet, how dignified was that? Steward Yao thought that if he did this well, the master would definitely not treat him badly. The chief housekeeper is old, and it's time to step down, maybe he can take this opportunity to go one step further!
Thinking of this, Steward Yao's tone became even more urgent: "Little girl, let's be honest in business, do you say that I came first, and I said that I bought these vegetables first?" ”
Qian Xiaoduo was also anxious, and Wu Xianling's son personally went to Zhenyulou to book a table of banquets, saying that he was entertaining distinguished guests in Beijing, and asked the back kitchen to show twelve points of spirit and make sure to make a table that was eye-catching.
The shopkeeper said that with the background of Wu County's order, if he can be called a distinguished guest, his identity must be terrible. Zhen Cuisine House is famous for its oyster sauce dishes. But oyster sauce dishes are generally paired with vegetarian dishes, so what green leafy vegetables can you find at this time? He also came with the mentality of trying it out, but he didn't expect him to meet it.
However, what bothered him was that these fresh and green vegetables had already been taken first! Fortunately, it was an old acquaintance of Zhenyulou who sold vegetables, and he had a good relationship with their young owner, so he was cheeky and fought with others.
Seeing Yu Xiaocao's eyes coming over, he could only tell the truth: "Auntie, grandma!" We are also in a hurry!! The distinguished customer of Wu County Order is about to arrive at the store!! ”
When Steward Yao heard that the vegetables bought in Zhenyulou were used by Wu County to entertain distinguished guests, he had no idea. only looked at Yu Xiaocao's father and daughter, hoping that they could make a fair choice.
Yu Xiaocao bit her lower lip, thought for a moment, and said, "Steward Yao, your old lady's birthday banquet is tomorrow." Or else! These vegetables are first used for the noon banquet in Zhenyulou, Steward Yao, you leave the address, we will go back to pick a batch of vegetables, and we will definitely send them to you in the afternoon. What do you think? ”
The truth that the people do not fight with the officials, Steward Yao knows it very well. When the purchase of Zhen Yu Lou revealed the purpose of the vegetables, he had lost much hope. When Yu Xiaocao said that they still had vegetables at home, the spark of hope was ignited again.
He thought for a while and said, "Little girl Yu, I won't bother you to send it over." Why don't you wait a moment, and let me go back and put on a carriage and come with you. ”
Leave an address? If you don't send it, where are we going to find you? Since there are still many of these vegetables, I will sell a favor in the delicacy.
"Okay! Steward Yao, we will wait for you at the back door of Zhenyu Building in a moment! "The distance from the town to Dongshan Village is not close, so if you can make one less trip, Yu Xiaocao is of course happy.
Steward Yao nodded and left quickly. You have to hurry, other people's families are in a hurry to leave first, and he has no tears when he cries!
Qian Xiaoduo saw the vegetables in his hands, and he was extremely happy. At this time, someone asked about the price of vegetables, and he waved his hand loudly and said, "I'm sorry, you're inside!" Vegetables have been wrapped in our delicacies, let's be early tomorrow! ”
There was no need for Yu Xiaocao to say hello, he consciously carried the basket onto the donkey cart. When Yu Xiaocao came over with a little donkey in her left hand and beans in her right hand, four or five hundred catties of vegetables were already neatly stacked on the donkey cart.
Qian Xiaoduo smiled and said, "Little girl Yu, you bought this donkey well, you have to pay a few taels of silver, right?" ”
Yu Xiaocao led the donkey on the way to Zhenyulou, and from time to time said a few words to the enthusiastic Qian Xiaoduo. This guy usually doesn't talk much, but today it's like opening the chatterbox, and the whole thing is talking!
Fortunately, Zhenyu Lou is not far away, and it will take a few minutes to arrive. When the donkey cart drove into the back door, the big shopkeeper who heard the news came in surprise.
"Oops! Big brother, Miss Yu! You are really the great fortune star of our treasure house! These vegetables are more timely than the rain!! Remove the vegetables, you guys! "The attitude of the big shopkeeper is so enthusiastic that people can't resist it.
Seeing that baskets of vegetables were transported into the back kitchen, the big shopkeeper smiled chrysanthemums on his face: "Come and rest in the private room of the three young people!" Xiaoduo, brew a pot of the best tea in the store to quench the thirst of Brother Yu and Miss Yu. ”
Facing the enthusiasm of the big shopkeeper, Yu Hai felt very uncomfortable, he rubbed his hands, and said, "It's not troublesome, we have to rush back......"
"It's almost noon, how can there be any reason to go back hungry! Our third young master went to the dock early in the morning, and it was time to come back at this time. If he knew that I let Brother Yu and your father and daughter go back hungry, he wouldn't have cut me down! Go, go! Try Chef Wang's newly conceived dishes! The big shopkeeper couldn't help but take Yu Hai's arm and invited the father and daughter into the private room dedicated to Wednesday.
After going out early in the morning and staying in the vegetable market for most of the day, Yu Xiaocao was really thirsty. She blew the tea, drank it in a gulp, and smashed it in her mouth - this tea is good, it is very fragrant!
The big shopkeeper watched the father and daughter chew peonies as if they were chewing peonies, and drank the good tea for dozens of taels of silver and a tael, as if swallowing dates, but they didn't dare to show contempt, and hurriedly poured a cup for the two of them personally. On weekdays, the treasurer of Zhenyulou, who entertains dignitaries and nobles without humility or arrogance, is very down-to-earth and chats with the father and daughter at home.
As he was talking, the door of the private room was pushed open, and he walked into Wednesday, who was carrying an oiled paper bag.
"Fortunately, it came in time, otherwise I would have missed it with you again!" Zhou Zixu handed the oil paper bag to the shopkeeper, and continued, "I was busy with the workshop after the New Year, and I thought I could meet you at the dock, but it turned out that your twin sister went to sell the braised vegetables every time. By the way, how is your brother's injury? Recently, the workshop is at a critical time, and I haven't been able to get out of it to see it. ”
Yu Xiaocao put down the cup in his hand, looked at the familiar oiled paper bag in the hands of the big shopkeeper, and responded: "My brother has been able to get out of bed, thank you Sanshao for your concern!" ”
"You're out of sight when you say that!" Zhou Zixu saw Xiaocao's eyes focused on the oiled paper bag he got back, and said with a smile, "Your braised vegetables are really a must!" Tasted it twice and it made me want to stop! I love pork arch and pig ears the most, and if I don't say it, who would have thought that such a delicious taste would be made with ingredients that no one else usually wants? ”
Yu Xiaocao said with a smile: "If Sanshao likes to eat, I'll bring it to you next time I come!" ”
"That's a good idea! You don't know, how hard it took me to buy these braised vegetables, and it was not easy to squeeze in and grab such a few points, think about it, it's not easy! Zhou Zixu made a palpitating expression and successfully amused Yu Xiaocao.
Yu Xiaocao said with a smile: "In order to soothe your injured heart, this girl is very merciful, and personally cooks for you to get a 'red oil ear silk' and 'garlic pig's head meat', and you still want to eat it!" ”
"Okay, I can't ask for it!!" Zhou Zixu followed Yu Xiaocao to the kitchen.
In order to entertain the dignitaries of Wu County's order, the Zhenyu Mansion was chartered, and the entire back kitchen was busy with the mysterious guest in the most luxurious private room.
Seeing Yu Xiaocao coming in, Chef Wang, who was promoted to head chef, greeted with a smile: "Miss Yu, I haven't been here for a long time!" I've come up with a new dish, so I'm free to give me some advice! ”
"Uncle Wang, you are a famous chef in Tanggu Town, how dare I get an axe in front of you!" Yu Xiaocao washed her hands and unceremoniously busied herself in the kitchen.
Except for the two dishes, which took a little time to mix the red oil, the others were ready-made, and there were kitchen tasks vying to get started, and in a short time, the mouth-watering "red oil ear shreds" and "garlic pork head" were completed!
Of course, Chef Wang did not miss this opportunity to learn, stopped the work in his hand, and memorized every step of Xiaocao's blending of red oil. He blatantly stole the teacher, and asked from time to time: "Can the red oil used to adjust the ear silk also be used to mix other cold dishes?" ”
"Of course! With Chef Wang's ingenuity, he will definitely be able to concoct more and more delicious dishes! After Yu Xiaocao finished cooking these two cold dishes, he went out of the kitchen, so as not to delay the serious work of the back kitchen.
