Chapter 20: Business Opportunities
Ivan really had a little respect for Dong Xiaowan.
A Qinglou woman like Dong Xiaowan, who is famous and does not sell her art, is actually equivalent to an artist in later generations, and she also uses her beauty and talent to please others.
But Dong Xiaowan's feeling to Ivan now is different from those artists in later generations.
Those artists in later generations, although they are celebrities, are not in the Qinglou, but there are often rumors that they do not pay taxes when they sleep, and it can be said that few of them are clean.
But the Dong Xiaowan in front of him, who is in the Qinglou, not only insists on selling his art, but also is willing to use his own hands to earn this little hard-earned money that is insignificant compared to his performance, how noble is this?
Alas, some modern dramas are not as good as the Qinglou woman in front of you!
At this time, Ivan really couldn't bear to refuse: "Let's steam the buns out first." ”
Because it was impossible for him to give up his mission, he still couldn't say it to death.
Dong Xiaowan misunderstood.
"Don't worry, if it sells well, I can share half of the money you make. ”
She's really in a hurry.
Although her own buns are delicately made, the speed is a little slow, and if she makes it alone, she can't make many cages in an afternoon.
With Ivan's words, it's different.
According to the previous cooperation between the two, the amount of work done by the two together was at least two or three times more than what she did alone.
Therefore, even if half of the money earned is given to Ivan, she still earns more than if she did it alone.
Ivan: "......"
Why should I give you money?
Now the storage function of the system has not been opened, even if you give me silver, I can't take it away!
But his heart immediately moved.
Isn't silver also money?
It can also be used to redeem points for the system!
Could this also be an opportunity to complete the mission?
You know, he needs a lot of points.
He was a little moved, but his mouth said beautifully: "It's not about money, it's because I still need to spend time learning to kill fish and practice knife work with Tie Niu." ”
These words made Dong Xiaowan think too much.
No wonder he wanted to come to the back kitchen of Qin Lou, it turned out to be to practice knife work with Tie Niu.
Iron Bull's knife work is indeed amazing!
It's no wonder that he rolls dough and buns so fast, it turns out that he is a person who pursues the ultimate in cooking!
This made Dong Xiaowan have a little more admiration for Ivan.
It's just that Derpy really can't help her, which makes her a little disappointed.
Alas, I don't know if I can do it smoothly by boiling crystal noodles!
Looking at the lonely Dong Xiaowan, Ivan was a little unbearable.
Why don't you help her?
He asked, "How much can Tie Niu get in a month in Qin Lou?"
"About four taels of silver. ”
Ivan: "......"
You can earn 20 taels of silver for a meal with a guest, and Tie Niu only has four taels for a month of hard work?
It seems that no matter which dynasty or generation, people living at the bottom can only earn hard-earned money to survive!
He did the math again.
Four taels of silver can buy 80 catties of meat, which is equivalent to about 100 catties in later generations, which is about 1,500 yuan.
Alas, this salary level is a bit low!
With Tie Niu's knife work, if you go to a big hotel, it should be no problem to get at least five or six thousand!
However, prices are different in different eras, and they cannot be compared in this way.
He seems to have an idea.
"In this way, don't worry, I'll discuss with Tie Niu in a while and see if I can bring him together to help you. ”
As a chef, Ivan naturally knows that a dry water table with a cutting board like Tie Niu is busy preparing meals during the day, and the rest of the free time is a lot, so it is not impossible to find Tie Niu to do some private work.
It's just that how it works has to be carefully considered.
"Good. ”
Dong Xiaowan was suddenly in a good mood again.
After a short time together, she inexplicably developed a sense of trust in Ivan.
The two talked about walking, and soon came to the kitchen again.
Because it was already past meal time, few people in the kitchen were busy, and even Chef Zheng was gone, leaving only Tie Niu cleaning up the mess.
"Miss Dong. ”
Tie Niu first greeted Dong Xiaowan respectfully, then pulled Ivan 's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Derpy, haven't you eaten yet?" ”
Ivan: "......"
This made him a little moved.
For him, he was used to seeing the indifference of people in later generations, and today, Tie Niu, the person he met for the first time, could think of him in the matter of eating, which really moved him a little.
Alas, it seems that the low-level characters of this era are still simple!
"Senior brother, don't be in a hurry to eat first, you can help Miss Dong steam the buns first. ”
Ivan was really hungry.
But as soon as he thought that Dong Xiaowan hadn't eaten it yet, he was embarrassed to eat it first, so he would better steam the buns out first and see the effect.
"Let's eat buns in a while, I've made enough. ”
It seems that Dong Xiaowan, who is busy and forgets to sleep and eat, is not without thinking about lunch.
In that case, let's hurry up and steam the buns.
Ten minutes later, after a busy period of three people, the kitchen exuded the fresh fragrance of steamed buns again.
Dong Xiaowan couldn't wait to lift the lid of the steamer.
Her eyes straightened at once.
I saw that in the steaming steamer, the round and rolling buns, the dough became translucent, and you could vaguely see the meat filling and soup inside, which looked crystal clear and exquisite.
No wonder it's called crystal dough!
This kind of soup dumpling looks even more appetizing.
She couldn't wait to pick up her chopsticks and carefully picked up a crystal soup packet.
This time, she's going to be a taster herself.
In addition to being much better looking than ordinary dough, this crystal dough seems to be a little more elastic, unlike ordinary dough buns, which are a little soft and fluffy when clamped.
Dong Xiaowan felt this first.
She put the bun on a plate and gently poked the dough with her chopsticks.
It's definitely a little more elastic than the original bun!
"Why do you play like that?"
Ivan: "......"
Mung bean flour is usually used to make cold skin, can it not be bounced?
"I'll explain this to you later, you try the taste first. ”
Because he was still thinking about helping Dong Xiaowan make a lot of steamed buns, he didn't want to talk about the crystal dough in front of other people.
This is a core technology that has not yet been used in this era, and whether this crystal soup dumpling can be sold at a high price depends on whether it can be made into an exclusive business.
Therefore, this crystal skin must not be leaked.
Alas, I was still complaining about Chef Zheng's self-cherishing broom, but now I have to do this.
Seeing Ivan say this, Dong Xiaowan didn't say much, she pursed her little mouth, blew on the bun, and after making it a little less hot, she carefully put it into her mouth and took a small bite.
Wow, it's really bouncy!
