Steward Li's smile gradually narrowed: "What does Miss Qi want to ask?" ”

"I'm just asking, don't be nervous!" Qi Ling smiled meaningfully, "With the domineering and dictatorial nature of your young master, since Steward Li is serving by his side, he must have suffered a lot of grievances, right?" ”

Steward Li narrowed his eyes and did not speak.

In Qi Ling's eyes, silence is tantamount to acquiescence in disguise, and it has always been that Young Master Xu is really not good, so he has no words to refute.

He didn't speak, and Qi Ling also retracted the topic, and all that was quiet was the sound of rolling cars and horses' hooves.

In the silence of the two, the carriage arrived at the door of the Chunfeng Building, Xu Shang, who was dressed in a golden robe, had been waiting at the door for a long time, and he specially took leave from the academy on this day, in order to see what this girl was capable of!

With the flipping of the curtain, Qi Ling stood at the door of the Spring Breeze Building for the second time.

As early as when she arrived in Wanshui Town with Gu Jinfeng, she wanted to go to Chunfeng Building for a meal, but halfway through, she was attracted by the food in another small shop, so she didn't come.

Xu Shang was in a good mood today, he notified everyone in the kitchen today, and seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, they were all unconvinced, and they attracted a lot of hatred for Qi Ling, who had not yet shown up.

The chefs here have been in the industry for at least three years, and they even have decades of cooking experience when they want to grow old, and their ancestors have been cooks for three generations, leaving a lot of recipes, which is why Xu Chenlong hired him as the head chef.

After Xu Shang explained the reason for the matter, Lao Chengtou unexpectedly showed a hint of ridicule, spit out a choking dry smoke and sneered, "It's just a girl's house, how can the young master say so powerful?" When she comes, let me meet her in person! ”

So when Qi Ling stepped into the kitchen, she was the first to smell the smell of gunsmoke, and everyone stopped the guy in their hands, and their eyes fell straight on her with various emotions.

Qi Ling raised his eyebrows, is this going to give himself a dismount?

That's a lot of fun.

She walked into the kitchen room unaffected, and before it was open, the apprentice was cutting all kinds of side dishes with his kitchen knife, while the old cooks were boiling the daily stock, and as soon as she walked in, she smelled all kinds of aromas.

Xu Shang stood next to him and proudly hooked the corners of his mouth, "This is the kitchen of my Chunfeng Building, every day chicken, duck, fish, melons, fruits and vegetables, everything, Miss Qi can find any ingredients she wants." ”

Qi Ling waved his hand, "I just came here to make sauce duck, but I don't need any materials, just give me some commonly used spices, duck and wine, of course, I also need a stove, a guy to help me light the fire." ”

"This is natural, old man, Miss Qi is here." Xu Shang beckoned inside, and with a cough, a slightly old figure walked out from the innermost.

The person who came was old-looking, wearing a simple robe, his figure was a little sloppy, his eyes casually looked at Qi Ling, opened his lips and said, "You are the little girl who talks ruthlessly?" ”

Qi Ling hooked the corners of his mouth, "You are the chef here?" ”

Lao Chengtou laughed, "The chef is not a good old man, just a bad old man, when Young Master Xu informed us, he said, you do it once, let me wait and observe, can you learn it or not?" ”

Qi Ling bowed, "Yes, he wants to buy my recipe, but he refuses to spend money, everyone lives in Wanshui Town, why bother to be harmonious, so I came up with this method." ”

Lao Chengtou's eyes narrowed slightly, "Then it will cost you two hundred taels to cook this time... Is this the lion opening his mouth a little? ”

Qi Ling smiled and said, "You don't understand this, scarcity is expensive, now I am the only one in this Wanshui Town who can make such a duck, the price is naturally a little higher, if you can do it casually, then why invite me to do it?" ”

Lao Chengtou's face was gloomy, and he directly put down the sentence "take her to the stove" and turned to leave.

As soon as he left, everyone returned to their previous movements, the side dishes of the side dishes, the soup of the soup, all in order, and it seemed that they no longer cared about Qi Ling's arrival.

"Miss Qi, please come here." A white young man walked out of it, smiling a little shyly, "My name is Wang Er, you can call me Xiao Wang." ”

Qi Ling smiled: "Your name is quite simple. ”

Wang Er scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "My father and mother are rough people with little culture, so I just took one or two simple and easy to remember." ”

"It's really easy to remember!"

The two of them came and went and slowly got acquainted, Wang Er said that he was an apprentice who came here for more than a month, and his parents wanted him to learn a craft, and they all said that the people take food as the sky, and learned to cook at least they will not worry about eating and drinking in the future, and Chunfeng Lou will give the cook two taels of silver every month!

And the curious Wang Er also asked Qi Ling about why he offended Young Master Xu.

Qi Ling rolled his eyes, "Where do I dare to offend him, he wants to buy my prescription, he is not satisfied with the price I offered, so the two parties argue, he is only willing to pay two hundred taels, which is absolutely impossible to sell." ”

Wang Er sighed, "Young Master Xu still has this temper, now there are more than 120 dishes in this Chunfeng Building, many of which are scavenged from the people and let the chef make them according to the recipe, which is also one of the dishes in Chunfeng Building, these dishes are not willing to be touched, and to put it bluntly, they are very disgusted with this practice." ”

"It's the equivalent of an alternative monopoly, you know?" Qi Ling looked approving.

Wang Er was a little stunned: "Monopoly... What is the meaning? ”

"This is an economic means, it sounds like buying and selling, but in fact, he is unwilling to let people make money, and all the dishes in this Wanshui Town are enveloped in the Chunfeng Building, and he makes a lot of money, and he lets others drink the northwest wind."

You must know that in this era, the buyer and seller are buying out the copyright, and the one-time payment is all to go to the official for the record.

It is equivalent to selling this recipe to him, and you can let him use it in the future, and if you want to sell this kind of thing again, people have the right to sue you.

"Shh Wang Er hurriedly made a silent gesture and signaled her to speak quietly: "Don't say it again, this is in Chunfeng Building, if you say bad things about people behind such names, it will be over!" ”

After a month, he also knew that the young master of Chunfeng Lou was a person with a bad temper, and he would invite Steward Li to shout at every turn, and sometimes he would lose his temper and do it directly.

This girl is also quite bold, and she dares to say this directly, if the young master hears it...... The consequences are unimaginable!

So he could only hurriedly stop it, Qi Ling also listened, pouted his mouth and didn't say anything, he was someone else's territory in this place or kept a low profile, anyway, he just made a dish, and when he was done, he would take the money and leave, and she couldn't talk to them about anything.

She asked Wang Er: "Do you raise your own livestock, or do you purchase them outside?" ”

"It's the yard next door to breed their own, after all, it costs more money to buy outside, sometimes you have to be in a hurry and may not be able to supply, just a few streets of the old Zhou will raise chickens and ducks, fortunately it was contracted to him, if you want fresh ducks, come with me, they are all captured alive and killed, and the taste is guaranteed."

"That's it, I'm sorry for you to lead the way." Qi Ling looked at the stove and took a bottle of wine, Wang Er couldn't help but be a little strange, "Miss Qi, why do you want to bring wine when you pick a duck?" ”
