Zhang Butcher stood up awkwardly when he saw Qi Ning coming: "Miss Qi is here." ”

"Brother Zhang, what's going on in the past two days? I haven't sent anything over. ”

Zhang Butcher smiled again: "Miss Qi, in the future, the price of this water will rise." ”

"Brother Zhang said that he laughed, these things don't make money in the first place, and I won't make any money if the price rises again."

"I'm not joking with the girl! In the past two days, a lo-mei shop has also opened on East Street, and the price given by people is much higher than yours. ”

Zhang Butcher's appearance of the villain was proud, so that Qi Ning couldn't suppress the fire.

"How much do you think it is?"

"Old customer, I don't want you much, just give someone a price. A pair of pigs into the water is 30 yuan, a pig's head is 20 yuan, and a pig's trotter is 10 yuan. ”

Qi Ning was successfully laughed at: "It's so expensive, I can't afford it with a small profit." Brother Zhang will keep it and sell it to those who offer high prices. ”

After speaking, he didn't bother to talk nonsense with Zhang Butcher, so he went to East Street angrily.

Qi Ning had a bad premonition in her heart, feeling that this matter must have something to do with the Zhong family. Although it turned out that no one had learned to make lo-mei, they couldn't make the flavor of Qi Ning's family, and they didn't raise the price to buy the water. This is simply malicious competition, if you want to crush Qi Ning first, it will be impossible to bid this price when you buy the water.

Regardless of sweating, Qi Ning looked all the way from the north end of East Street, and when he was about to reach the crossroads, he saw a shop door hanging on it: Qijia Lo Mei. Four big words. Looking inside, Da Ya and Zhong Dahe, Zhong Dashan and the brothers were sitting in the shop eating.

"I said. Who can rob my business, and hang out the guise of the Qi family's lo-mei, it turns out to be you white-eyed wolves. Qi Ning kicked over the stool at the door.

"What's the matter, your surname is Qi, and my mother-in-law is also surnamed Qi, you are allowed to sell this lo-mei alone, and no one else is allowed to do it." Zhong Dashan stood up shamelessly, clenched his fist and waved at Qi Ning.

"I don't care if you like to do it or not, but whose recipe do you use? Qi and the eldest girl learned it from me! ”

"What is your recipe, this is handed down from my mother-in-law's family, you are a girl who wants to get married, why do you dominate the recipe and don't let us use it."

To say that this dynasty does not have patents at all, let alone relevant protection documents. So today, this dumb Qi Ning can't spit out and swallow it.

"Big girl, you tell the truth to everyone, did you learn this recipe from me?" Qi Ning looked at the eldest girl and pointed to the people who were watching against the heat wave at the door.

"Ning, Sister Ning, this is my mother, my mother's dowry recipe for marriage, my grandmother gave it to my mother, it was not easy for you to be alone in the past, so I gave it to you first, and now our family can't eat, so I have to open a shop. Don't be angry, we're so far apart that it won't affect your ....... After listening to this, Qi Ning felt that he was really the eighth ancestor of the Zhong family, and he couldn't wait to slap himself a few times, who called you bad intentions, who told you that you didn't understand that people's hearts are unpredictable.

"Okay, that's good, even if I'm blind, I've fed the dog with all my kindness." Qi Ning was already angry and incoherent: "When did I become your grandmother!" I learned this recipe from my master, not to mention your mother, even my father and mother don't know. You can really make it up with your conscience. ”

"Fart you, this was originally my sister-in-law's dowry recipe, we haven't gone to stop you from doing it, you dare to come to the door to find trouble. Be careful I hit you out. Zhong Dahe was about to rush over to beat Qi Ning as he spoke, but was hugged by the eldest girl: "Second uncle, you dissipate your anger, she is my cousin, you can't beat her." ”

"If you want to beat me, I'm afraid you don't have the guts, if you dare to touch me today, I'll let someone from the yamen arrest you." The reason why the Zhong family has never come to the door to find trouble again is that they have heard that Qi Ning is very familiar with the head catcher master of the Yamen, and no matter how bastard, he is afraid of officials.

"Get out, get out, get out of here." Zhong Dashan took a broom and waved it and rushed out to Qi Ning.

Qi Ning was pushed all the way back to the street: "Okay, since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust." Qi Ning, who was angry, picked up the umbrella on the ground at the door and went straight out of the city gate, and came to the Xiao Ji Restaurant by the dock.

Shopkeeper Hu was lying on the counter crackling and making calculations: "Miss Qi, why did you come here in person on such a hot day, just let the little guy run and pass on a message." Hu shopkeeper enthusiastically came out to greet Qi Ning, their restaurant has recently turned over the business, the guests who came late are sitting on the side of the stool drinking tea and queuing up, a few days ago the young owner happily took the recipe to the restaurant branch in other places to promote new dishes.

"I'm here to give a gift to Shopkeeper Hu." Qi Ning took the tea from the job and drank it in one gulp and said.

"Oh, what kind of gift is this for the girl who doesn't celebrate the New Year?"

"Didn't you always want me to make a recipe for braised vegetables? I'll give it to you for free today, although this water is not on the table, but it is good to cut it into a small platter and try it occasionally. ”

"Why did the girl suddenly figure it out today? Hu remembered that the girl said, is that the foundation of your livelihood? ”

"It used to be before, and now I don't hide it from the shopkeeper, the two who used to work in my shop have now stolen my recipe, opened a shop on East Street and sold marinated goods."

"And such a thing! Do you want me to help the girl find someone from the yamen to have a look? Shopkeeper Hu was also angry when he heard this, although he wanted Qi Ning's recipe at the beginning, but he planned to pay for it, and he would not use this indiscriminate means.

"No, I'll give the recipe to Shopkeeper Hu for free today, and you can sell it yourself in the future."

"Then what's embarrassing, why don't I wait for the young owner to come back, I'll negotiate a price with him and send it to the girl?"

"No, only one of these recipes has been leaked out, I will give it to you for free today, maybe I will give it to others tomorrow, and then the shopkeeper Hu will not trouble me."

"Naturally not, we just sold it in a restaurant, as long as the girl didn't tell other restaurants, and the small shop didn't have much impact on us. Besides, it doesn't matter if other restaurants know about it, let's not point to this now. ”

"That's good, I'll write it down." Shopkeeper Hu hurriedly went to the counter and took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, he had already learned Qi Ning's words last time, many words had to be distinguished for a long time to understand, this time Qi Ning wanted to write, he would also find an excuse to stop it.

Qi Ning spat out a vicious breath, carefully explained the method, watched the shopkeeper Hu write, and then said goodbye, the shopkeeper Hu asked the job to send Qi Ning back in a carriage, Qi Ning remembered something and turned around and said: "Shopkeeper Hu, I used to use the water of the three pork stalls on West Street, and the butcher in the northernmost part of the country today is shouting to raise the money, you can go to the two at the south end of West Street to buy in the future, they are honest and honest businessmen, but there is the one in the north compared to it, and it is recommended that the shopkeeper Hu give them a price increase." ”

"Don't worry, girl, if you send it down, let him stop by and talk to the two stalls, and send us water and pork every day in the future." It turns out that the meat in our store was sent by the butcher Zhang, and I don't want him in the future. Shopkeeper Hu took out two packs of dim sum and put them in the car attentively: "The one brought back from the capital, the girl brought it back to try it." ”

"Thank you, shopkeeper Hu stays." Qi Ning stepped on a stool and got into the car.

After entering the city gate, Qi Ning lifted the curtain and said to the car: "Little brother, why don't I go to the pork stall with you, it just so happens that I will also go to say hello to them, and I won't buy them in the water in the future." ”

The man was busy, flicked his horsewhip and went directly from the side street under the city wall to the south end of West Street.

"Brother Qin, Brother Wu." Qi Ning jumped out of the car and said hello to the stalls on both sides.

"Miss Qi is here." Wu Erniu hurriedly wiped his hands and put down the machete.

"Two big brothers, can someone come to buy a lot of sewer these days?"

"Yes, the day before yesterday, there were two old men who came to offer a high price, and in the future, they will pack our pig's head in the water." Qin Fatzi was stunned: "But I didn't promise them, since we told Miss Qi that you agreed, I won't sell it no matter how high the price is offered by others." ”

"Thank you, two big brothers, today my recipe for making lo-mei was given to the Xiao Kee Restaurant on the dock, this is the work of their restaurant, I don't want to go into the water in the future, you can sell it to them directly, and you can negotiate the price, but I have already told the shopkeeper Hu that I will increase the price for you." And the meat of their taverns will come in from you. ”

"The girl won't sell lo-mei in the future?"

"Well, I'm going to do something else, and I'll invite the two big brothers to cheer more in the future."

"Thank you, girl, for helping us pull customers."

"That's right, the two eldest brothers are so righteous, I can't let you suffer, although I don't want to go into the water, I will come to buy some meat from time to time in the future."

"Thank you, girl, whatever the girl wants in the future, just say it, I will definitely give you a cheap price." Wu Erniu said with a smile.

"Let's talk, then. I'll go back first. Qi Ning said hello to the guy and left slowly.

The long crisp black hair was draped over the back, and the top half was braided and tied on the head without a trace of decoration. The delicate face, clear and bright eyes, and the fresh and natural atmosphere that emanates from the inside out, holding an oil-paper umbrella in the rain and sunny weather, like a figure in an oil painting, attracted the attention of people enjoying the cool on the roadside.
