Chapter Forty-Eight: Lily's Business
"Big Brother Tang Qi. ”
The crowd was still the same, Lily stepped on a stool and saw Tang Qi, waving through the crowd, her little face flushed, like a small apple. The crowd fell silent for a moment, and then more than a dozen eyes looked at Tang Qi at the same time.
Tang Qi waved his hand to Lily in embarrassment, but before the girl could react to the wrong occasion, she smiled from afar and said, "Brother Tang Qi, you can go to the back first, I will sell it out immediately." ”
Tang Qi nodded, intending to leave immediately.
"Wait!" Tim just came back to his senses, hurriedly stopped Tang Qi, didn't care about what he had just said about a good relationship with the boss, his eyes lit up: "Little brother, are you Miss Lily's brother?"
"No, just friends. Tang Qi laughed dryly.
"Hey, it's all the same, you see that I can't change my bragging, where did I think brother, you are a friend of the boss. Tim rubbed his hands together and discussed, "Brother, see if you can discuss with the boss and provide me with two bottles a week...... Three bottles of vinegar, the price is negotiable......"
"Hehe, I'll talk to the boss, the specific situation depends on the boss's attitude. ”
Donkey got up in embarrassment and walked quickly backstage, with Tim thanking him repeatedly.
The Brewed Hotel is Lily's home, with a second-floor living room in the background, no living room, only two bedrooms, a kitchen and a storage room, which is slightly larger than her own home. Of course, guests can't go to the kitchen, and after hesitating for a long time, Tang Qi still entered Lily's bedroom.
The bedroom is messy but clean, a bit of a contradictory description, is Tang Qi's first impression, the bedroom only has a bed, a desk and bookshelves, all spotlessly clean, but all kinds of books and manuscripts are scattered on the table and bed, the owner seems a little lazy.
Picking up a book from the bookshelf that introduced the customs of the Tower Kingdom, Tang Qi read it with relish.
The book was a third thinner, the bedroom door was pushed open, and Lily, dressed in a goose yellow dress, entered the room.
"Don Qi...... Big brother, I've been waiting for a long time. Lily, who had just taken a big brother in public, was a little shy at this time, and Tang Qi chuckled: "I have read all the letters you sent, congratulations on paying off your debts, and the businessman Sorum has not embarrassed you." ”
"Nope. Lily snickered playfully: "I asked the city guard to accompany me, and although I gave some money, I was not embarrassed." ”
"Clever. Don Qi laughed, a merchant with unclean hands and feet like Solange was most afraid of the city guards.
"That's right. Lily got up suddenly, stooped under the bed, rummaged through it, and dragged out two small boxes, one of which she placed on the table and opened, and it was full of copper and silver wolf.
"It's your and Eve's sister's share of the money. ”
"So many?!" Tang Qi was surprised, although most of the boxes in this box were copper coins, it was estimated that there must be 6 or 7 gold dragons. According to what was originally said, Lily's money from selling vinegar was thrown away from the 25 gold dragons and costs to repay the debt, and the net profit was four or three points.
When talking about the division of money at that time, the three of them just mentioned it casually, after all, it was a miracle to be able to pay off the debt of 25 golden dragons.
"The vinegar sold very well, thanks to a chef named Tim, who participated in the cooking competition of the autumn festival, won the first place with fish stew, helped promote the vinegar, and then several restaurants ordered a lot of vinegar in one go, and in the short term enough money to pay off the debt. Unfortunately, several celebrity chefs later questioned the taste of vinegar, saying that the sour taste of vinegar was simply incomprehensible, and the vinegar business was not as good as it started. Lily sighed, and was very dissatisfied with the celebrity chef who spoke ill of vinegar.
Tang Qi smiled, it is not surprising, even before the crossing, there were many people who did not like sour vinegar, and to be honest, vinegar can be sold so well now, thanks to the chef named Tim.
It seems that he said that he had something to do with Lily, not bragging.
"But ......" Lily rubbed the corners of her clothes and whispered a little embarrassed, "The vinegar is almost sold out, I want to brew some, but I don't know how to ......make it" Her voice became lower and lower, and finally even Tang Qi couldn't hear it, but saw that her pretty face was blushing as if she could drip blood.
"No problem. Tang Qi said briskly.
“...... Ah, really! I, I'm going to prepare the contract, and 5 percent of the money I earn will be given to Brother Tang Qi, and the remaining 3% will be given to Eve, I'll ...... I. Lily was pleasantly surprised, she made wine for a living, she knew how precious this recipe was, she thought that Tang Qi would agree, but she didn't expect to agree so directly.
Her head was confused for a while, and looking at Tang Qi's smiling expression, it seemed like a rabbit was jumping around in her heart.
"Don't be so troublesome, it's better to divide the original one, after all, I only know the steps, the specific method is not clear, and you have to explore the details yourself. Tang Qi took the quill on the table, dipped it in ink, and wrote down the steps of making vinegar.
What Tang Qi knew about making vinegar was the simple steps taught in the biology textbooks in the school, and if he really let him make vinegar, he estimated that it would take a few years to experiment little by little, after all, there is still a difference between book knowledge and real vinegar.
However, when it comes to Lily, who makes wine for a living, Tang Qi believes that these steps are enough for her to quickly figure out the detailed process of making vinegar...... At least in Tang Qi's opinion, winemaking and vinegar have a lot in common.
"There are many choices of raw materials for vinegar brewing, and it is not necessary to use grapes, japonica rice, corn, and sweet potatoes can be used, the pre-treatment is a bit similar to wine-making, and the later stage requires acetic acid fermentation, and the steps I know are written on it, and you have to explore the rest yourself. Tang Qi said:
"I suggest that you brew small portions first, so as not to waste raw materials, and wait until the steps are determined before brewing vinegar on a large scale. ”
"Hmm. Lily looked at the steps written by Tang Qi and nodded heavily, with these steps, she was confident that she could make vinegar.
"Lily, have you heard anything from Eve lately?"
"No, hasn't Sister Eve been with you all this time? yes, isn't there still a selection going on today, you ......" Lily suddenly covered her mouth, her eyes blinking.
Tang Qi coughed: "There was an accident, it's okay, don't worry too much." ”
"Oh. Lily's head shook up and down: "I don't know where Sister Eve is, I wanted you to give her the money." ”
Eve didn't come to Lily either, and Donkey felt a headache.
Bell, suddenly the bell at the door was ringing, Lily hurriedly went to open the door, Tang Qi looked downstairs, and saw a priest in a gold-rimmed white robe enter the house, holding a cross in one hand and a Bible in the other.
"Pastor Brown, please come in. ”
Lily bowed slightly and saluted the priest.
"Hmm. This middle-aged pastor with a bit of hair loss was not as kind as Tang Qi imagined, but instead hummed with his nose arrogantly and walked up the stairs. It seemed that the target was the bedroom on the second floor, which was supposed to be Lily's brother's bedroom.
As he passed by Tang Qi, the priest glanced at him and said dissatisfiedly, "Lily, although you are not a believer, God does not like impure children, you had better pay attention, otherwise God will not protect your brother." ”
"No, Pastor Brown, Brother Donkey and I are ......"
"Child, there is no need to explain, God knows everything. The priest said lightly.
With a helpless look on her face, Lily secretly made an apologetic expression to Tang Qi, and then followed the priest to the deep bedroom......
