Chapter Ninety-Nine: A Chance Encounter
Originally, dividends were paid once a month. However, when the shopkeeper Jiang saw that the father and daughter were in shabby clothes, he thought that they were shy in their pockets, so he paid the dividends of the past few days in advance.
Yu Hai didn't answer anything, he shook his hand and said, "I can't do it, I can't do it!" It's just a few recipes for pickles, how can I charge you money! You contribute people and ingredients to the ingredients, and we will have money to take if we move our mouths, so that we will not be poked in the back? ”
Shopkeeper Jiang hurriedly said: "Big brother's words are wrong! Why can the newly opened 'Zhen Yu Lou' in the town compete with the time-honored 'Fu Lin Men'? Isn't it because there are a few unique recipes that attract many regular customers? If they sell these recipes, it is estimated that they will offer a price of 1,000 taels and one piece, and some people will buy them!
Ling Ai's pickle recipe is something I've never seen before, it's definitely a must! If you make it yourself and sell it in the town, you'll make a lot more money than that. To make love and kindness, as long as the dividend of 20% is calculated, we have taken advantage of it greatly! Brother, put the money away, for you deserve it...... How? Too little, huh? ”
Yu Hai was made to retreat by him, and embarrassedly cast a distressed look at his daughter asking for help. Xiaocao hurriedly said: "Uncle Jiang, I told Brother Jiang Yu at that time that I would come to settle the knot once a month, isn't it not yet the month?" ”
After all, Shopkeeper Jiang is used to doing business, and his speech is very tactful: "Isn't this making money and feeling excited?" If you take these five taels of silver first, it will be regarded as a good start, a good sign! Let's divide it by month in the future! ”
Someone outside was buying pickles, and the shopkeeper Jiang couldn't help but stuff five taels of silver into Yu Hai's hand, lifted the curtain and walked out. Yu Hai didn't take it, and it wasn't if he didn't take it, Xiaocao smiled and said, "Since Uncle Jiang said so, let's take it!" ”
Jiang Yu saw that his father handed over the silver to his seven or eight-year-old daughter, and secretly wondered in his heart: he was not afraid that the silver would be lost by the little girl......
Xiaocao wrote a few recipes for pickles for Jiang Ji pickle shop again, and this time there were more pickles, including "chili sauce" and "sweet noodle sauce", as well as high-end "mushroom sauce" and "sesame peanut butter......
Jiang Yu carefully put the recipe close to his body, and when he and his father learned it, he would immediately burn it and destroy it. In this way, these pickles with unique flavors will become the secret of their own shop......
Xiaocao said goodbye to Jiang Yu and came out of the inner room of the pickle shop, but saw a handsome young man in brocade clothes and jingling, frowning and looking into the pickle jar. Shopkeeper Jiang patiently introduced him on the side.
The little guy next to the young man said softly: "Sanshao, if you want to eat pickles, just let the little one run, why bother to come here in person?" …… Be careful not to stain your clothes! ”
When the boy heard the movement, he looked up at Xiaocao, and his eyes looked surprised, as if it was strange to see her here.
Xiaocao's eyes widened in surprise when he saw him, and a smile bloomed on his face: "Wednesday Shao, finally willing to come back from the capital?" When did you come back? ”
It turned out that this young man in Chinese clothes was the third young man of the Zhou family who he hadn't seen for almost a month - Zhou Zixu. When she came to him, Zhou Zixu suddenly said: "Good Yu Xiaocao, you have a good sauce recipe, but you don't invest in your own industry, but you cooperate with others in private!" ”
Xiaocao remembered that if it wasn't for this guy who fooled all the money she had worked so hard to save years ago, her family would not have been so miserable after they split up! The Zhou family is the richest man in Tanggu, why should he run a seasoning workshop and send her two small money? This guy definitely did it on purpose!!
"As soon as I entered the restaurant today, I heard the chef in the back kitchen arguing, guess what? It turned out to be arguing over the recipe for a plate of small fish! This plate of small fish was purchased from Zhenyulou and bought back at the pier!! Wednesday grinded his teeth, frowned and stared at Yu Xiaocao with a sad expression.
"What? I'm selling side dishes on the docks, and I'm getting in the way of you? Xiaocao didn't understand why he was looking at himself very unpleasantly, it should be her who should be unhappy, right?
"I heard that the fish is called 'bad fish'? How do you do that? The small spines in the fish are also very crispy, and the taste of the fish is good, it is indeed a dish with strong color and flavor! ”
I also tried one on Wednesday and thought it tasted very good. The celebrity chefs of Zhen Fang Lou have seen and tasted it, and they know that it is fried and then cooked, but no matter how they try, they have not been able to make such an authentic taste. I was secretly amazed that a seemingly simple bad fish needed such exquisite cooking techniques.
As soon as he said this, he suddenly changed his words, "I don't want to know about your cooking secrets, I'm just expressing amazement." How can Xiaocao have time to visit the vegetable market today? Didn't go to the dock to sell braised vegetables? ”
Xiaocao smiled disappreciatively and said, "The three young have won the award, but it is just a superficial craftsmanship, and it is really difficult to get into the elegant hall." Today is the dock where my mother and Xiaolian went, and my father and I came to the town to do some errands - why don't you come to buy pickles on Wednesday? ”
Wednesday nodded and said, "Recently, the old lady of our family has not had a good appetite, and she has no taste for anything." I just heard on the street that the side dishes in this pickle shop taste good, and I'm going to buy some and go back to honor the old man......"
After asking about the taste of the old lady of the Zhou family, Xiaocao recommended to him a sweet and crispy little radish, which was crispy and delicious, and the most appetizing.
Friday nodded less, weighed some sweet and crispy radish, and asked about the taste of other pickles, and under the strong recommendation of the shopkeeper Jiang, he tasted several pickles, and chose his favorite "wine beans" and "spicy cabbage". When checking out, he also threw off a piece of broken silver that was enough to have two taels.
All right! Wealthy and wealthy, this is the kind of person it refers to!
"I heard, you split up and went out alone? It's good to divide the family, so as not to build a workshop in the future, and you have to be sneaky after sharing the dividends! If you have any difficulties, don't be polite to me!! Zhou Zixu said sincerely.
Why did you go earlier? When we first separated, if there was such a sentence, we would definitely not be polite to you. But now...... The hardest time has passed, so why bother talking about it again?
Yu Xiaocao said three or two sentences, and sent Wednesday away! When Zhou Zixu was leaving, he didn't forget to remind her: She has a stake in the seasoning workshop, remember to think of a few more seasoning recipes! Don't just look at the small pickle shop!
After saying goodbye to Wednesday, Xiaocao bought several cotton cloths of different colors at the cloth shop recommended by Jiang Yu's father and son, and pulled the four quilts. I spent nearly a tael of silver and bought more than ten catties of cotton.
Cotton was already widely cultivated in the Yuan Dynasty, and in the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there were many wars, a large amount of land was barren, and the output of cotton also fell sharply, and the price remained high. After ascending the throne, he vigorously encouraged the cultivation of wasteland and implemented a series of policies to give the people rest, and the prices of grain and cash crops were somewhat stabilized. However, for the majority of poor people, the price of cotton is still a bit extravagant.
After the father and daughter had finished buying cloth and cotton, it was already ten minutes. Carrying such a large bag of cotton, I couldn't go shopping if I wanted to, so I took the big bag and went to the cattle and horse market to pick up the donkey cart.
The old man who helped Xiaocao watch the donkey cart collected her family's five cents, looked at the skinny sick donkey lying on the ground, and prayed in his heart that this donkey should not die at this time.
When the old man was young, he was also a good hand at raising livestock, but now that he is too old to raise it, he does it here to store cattle and vehicles, and earns a few big bucks a day. If it weren't for the bad business today, he wouldn't have taken this thankless deal.
According to Xiaocao's instructions, he gave the donkey a bowl of water every half an hour. Strange to say, the donkey gave other water, and did not even smell it, but poured it into the water bag given by the little girl, but drank it very happily.
After drinking the water twice, the donkey, who was so sick that he was about to die, was getting better and better. When he drank it for the third time, he was able to stand up, and he shouted at him for forage to eat.
Could it be that the water in this water bag is filled with medicine to cure the animals? I'll ask you later, who did they match, it's quite effective.
The storage fee of 5 cents includes forage and water. People brought their own water, and he still had to feed the forage. When he was full, the little gray donkey knelt down and pretended to sleep, looking a little thinner and in good spirits.
At nearly the end of the day (around three o'clock in the afternoon), Yu Hai's slightly lame figure appeared in the sight of the old man watching the livestock. The father and daughter had a large bag and bought a lot of things.
The little gray donkey, as if he had a spirit, saw the big and small masters, and immediately stood up, opened his big soft eyes, and barked happily at the two of them.
"Ash, how are you?" Xiaocao quickly ran to the little donkey's side and gently stroked its back with her right hand with the multicolored stones. I asked the little mending stone to give it a full body treatment.
The little donkey squinted his eyes comfortably, his fluffy head, and kept rubbing Xiaocao's arm, and the expression seemed to say—so comfortable!
Yu Hai said in surprise: "It's really good!" Looks in good spirits! I wonder if I can walk home...... Cao'er, let's let Lao Zhangtou take back the things we bought. ”
The little gray donkey barked twice, as if to say that it could do it. Xiaocao touched its head with a smile and said, "Dad, at this time, Grandpa Zhang's car is estimated to be full, where can I still put the things we bought?" Anyway, the cloth and cotton are not too heavy, so let Little Gray Lala see it. ”
Yu Hai skillfully put the cart on the donkey, and put the large bags and small bags he bought on the donkey cart. After thinking about it, he hugged his daughter too. If the donkey couldn't pull it, he would push it next to him, and his daughter was only eight years old after all, and she was tired for a day, and he was reluctant to let her walk so far back.
Coming out of Niuma Market, although Yu Hai drove a donkey cart for the first time, the little donkey was very humane and followed him closely, without commanding at all.

Yesterday afternoon, I suddenly received a notice that I wanted a school-based report book for four semesters, and I finally found two years ago, but found that many of them were not completed. Crazy to make up and make up, buried in my head for six or seven hours, and I haven't finished writing yet.
Today's update is on this can save the manuscript. Poor manuscript depositor, he has lost weight again!
Thank you for your tip.
