Chapter 64: The Sister-in-law of the Wang Family
Cheng Beiyou asked the price directly, but Lan Yi did not answer directly, but asked a key question. p>
"Cheng shopkeeper, in the winter of Huangxian County, livestock and poultry, digging river fishing, fresh meat is not lacking, but there are not many fresh vegetables, daily radishes and cabbage are available in every family, and they can't be sold at a high price. Although there are cellars and ice cellars to store vegetables, they do not last long, and celery, pumpkin, lentils, eggplants and other non-perishable ones can only be stored for more than a month, not to mention cucumbers, spinach, lettuce and leeks that are difficult to preserve. ”p>
Cheng Beiyou smiled even more after hearing this, and a pair of curved eyes that were born with a smile looked at Lan Yi with a fine light, and replied: "There is no shortage of meat in this winter, but fresh vegetables are not absent, in addition to fresh leeks and garlic, celery, gourd, pumpkin and other vegetables can also be put in the New Year, not to mention the fresh vegetables and dry goods from the mountains and forests transported by ships from various states in the south of the Yangtze River." ”p>
He didn't answer Lan Yi's question directly, but he also dismissed her, which was very shrewd. p>
Lan Yi likes to deal with smart people, and she continued unhurriedly: "Then may I ask Shopkeeper Cheng, the price of fresh vegetables shipped is not cheap, right?" Can there be any of these freshness that Little Women planted? ”p>
"Naturally, there are no such fresh ones on the ship for a while, but those that are shipped are not available in Huangxian, and naturally the price is a lot more expensive. Although the lettuce and spinach brought by the little lady are fresh, they are common in spring and summer in our Huangxian County, but they can't be eaten in winter, and the price cannot be compared. However, on the merits of the matter, it makes sense that these vegetables are now more expensive than they were at other times. ”p>
Although Cheng Beiyou is shrewd, he is a businessman, and a large part of the reason why Wang Linyuan recommended Le Xiangju to Lan Yi is this, Lan Yi has no power and power, and it is the best policy to cooperate with a shrewd businessman. p>
"What the shopkeeper Cheng said is good. Little Women only planted shallots, leeks, cucumbers, spinach, lettuce and celery this year, all of which are common on our side. The little woman didn't plan to ask for a price, you are a connoisseur, if you still can see this vegetable, give a reasonable price", Lan Yi picked up the teacup on the table and lifted the lid to smell the tea, and continued without being soft or hard, "If the shopkeeper Cheng doesn't look at it, it's nothing, the little woman believes in the signboard of Le Xiangju to pick up the dishes, there are other restaurants and inns in this city, how can there be a few that can be seen." ”p>
Catching up is not a sale, Cheng Beiyou will definitely give a reasonable price as long as he wants to. p>
Cheng Beiyou listened to the smile on his face and was really sincere, and it was the most comfortable to deal with people who understood: "I don't know what the little lady is called?" ”p>
"The little woman's husband's surname is Wang, and you can call the little woman Wang's sister-in-law." Lan Yi put down the teacup, and the long aroma of tea made her feel very comfortable. p>
"Poof......" Cheng Beiyou just drank a sip of tea and squirted out, he looked at Lan Yi dumbfounded for a few seconds before he realized his gaffe, raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Er, who was smiling at the door, and shouted, "You have no eyesight, why don't you hurry up and clean up the table and then make a pot of tea for Mrs. Wang, and prepare paper and pencil together." ”p>
Sister-in-law Wang, I really can't say it. p>
When Xiao Er heard this, he immediately jumped in and cleaned up the table, bowed his head and respectfully retreated. p>
Lan Yi was secretly glad that she hadn't been sprayed with saliva, she really felt that Sister-in-law Wang was much more comfortable than Mrs. Wang, so she introduced it like this. p>
Cheng Beiyou saw Lan Yi's calm expression, and couldn't help but say tentatively: "Mrs. Wang, I don't know how expensive Brother Wang is this year?" ”p>
Since this teenage little woman asked herself to call her sister-in-law Wang, I think that this "big brother Wang" must be older than herself, but why let her little woman come out to talk about business by herself? p>
"Don't hide it from the shopkeeper, the late husband has already traveled west, and it is inconvenient to talk about his age." p>
Cheng Beiyou was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly got up and saluted: "Cheng is presumptuous, and I also ask Sister-in-law Wang to bear with me." ”p>
Lan Yi got up and returned the salute and explained: "Shopkeeper Cheng doesn't need to be like this, the little woman is a village woman, but I think it's weird to call 'Mrs.'." ”p>
Cheng Beiyou was clear, but he thought in his heart, even if he didn't like the title of "madam", it was really awkward to let a man who was more than ten years older than her call her "sister-in-law". p>
At this time, the little two ends of tea came in with paper and pens and placed them on the table. p>
Cheng Beiyou sorted out his feelings, and then talked about business: "Sister-in-law Wang, Cheng Mou is also blunt, this ...... "p>."
"Bang dang ......" Wang's sister-in-law Cheng Beiyou screamed, Xiao Er shuddered and knocked down the teacup, and the freshly brewed tea splashed on Cheng Beiyou's shirt and gave birth to a few splashes. p>
Lan Yi had a feeling that she was complete, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook slightly, and it was good to be so casual occasionally. p>
Cheng Beiyou's face was black, and he stared at him and shouted, "Look at Cheng Ye's clothes, shouldn't they be washed?" ”p>
"Damn it." Xiao Er hurriedly cleaned up the table, bowed and retreated, and secretly glanced at Lan Yi before leaving. Lan Yi felt that this seemingly respectful Xiao Er was not afraid of Cheng Beiyou's anger, and he was also curious and surprised when he looked at him. p>
"Ahem, sister-in-law Wang, it's really rude Cheng." Cheng Beiyou turned around and walked out after changing into a shirt of the same color, his expression was also sorted out, and he returned to a smile. p>
"Shopkeeper Cheng doesn't have to be polite, do you look at the price of this vegetable?" Lan Yi hurriedly pulled back to the topic, the days of winter are short, and I am afraid that it will be dark if it is delayed like this. p>
"Sister-in-law Wang is also a cheerful person when she looks at it, so let's not talk about it. These vegetables are all collected in the small shop for 35 yuan a catty, what do you think of this price? "Cheng Beiyou is in business, the price is reasonable, if it is higher, it will not be much beneficial for Le Xiangju to buy. p>
Lan Yi nodded, the price was a little higher than she estimated: "Yes." ”p>
"I wonder how many vegetables Sister-in-law Wang has planted this year?" p>
"It's not much, only six kinds of leeks, shallots, lettuce, spinach, celery and cucumbers, a total of more than two fields." p>
One acre of land is ten points of land, and the greenhouse of more than two points of land is already not small, Cheng Beiyou nodded with satisfaction. p>
"Sister-in-law Wang, these kinds of vegetables can still be eaten in the small shop, why don't you sell all the vegetables grown in your greenhouse to the small shop?" p>
Lan Yi originally planned to do so: "The little woman grows vegetables to earn a living, and it is okay to sell them to the shopkeeper Cheng." It's just that these days are getting colder and colder, and it is becoming more and more difficult to grow vegetables. ”p>
Cheng Beiyou saw Lan Yi responding, and muttered slightly: "It's October, and this vegetable is thirty-five wen a catty; November mentions forty wen a pound; Fifty wen a pound in the wax moon. Cucumbers are rare in winter, and the price is more expensive than the next one by 20 yuan, I don't know if Sister-in-law Wang is satisfied? ”p>
Fifty wen a pound is already equivalent to the price of pork, which is not low. p>
Lan Yi was satisfied with the price and nodded. p>
"Sister-in-law Wang, if it can be made by us, we will make it like this? I wonder if your small shop sent someone to pull back this vegetable or did you send it over? "It is said that it is more appropriate for them to pull it, but this sister-in-law Wang has died of a man, and it is not appropriate to send someone over if she is widowed. p>
"Don't bother Shopkeeper Cheng, the little woman will send it to Shopkeeper Cheng." There was nothing to do in the winter, and it was nothing to run two more times, and it was much more low-key to transport it by yourself than to pull it out in the past. p>
Cheng Beiyou took a pen to write down the agreement, and Lan Yi signed the draw, and Xiao Er took the vegetables down to the scales. p>
Lan Yi saw that the vegetables were wrong, and took out sour bamboo shoots and sour cabbage from the basket and put them on the table, Cheng Beiyou looked curiously at the two inconspicuous two small jars in front of him and asked, "Sister-in-law Wang, what is this?" ”p>
"Shopkeeper Cheng, this is some sour bamboo shoots and pickled cabbage pickled by the little woman herself, which can be eaten, leave it for you to taste, this is a recipe for two kinds of pickled vegetables, you can also accept it." p>
Lan Yi handed over the recipe, Cheng Beiyou, as the shopkeeper of the restaurant, was very interested in the fresh things, first opened the two jars and smelled them, then opened the recipe to take a closer look, and then called the cook to let him stir-fry the dishes according to the two recipes above. p>
The unique fresh and sour taste of sauerkraut permeated the house, Cheng Beiyou stretched out his fat hand to take chopsticks and add vegetables and put them in his mouth to taste carefully, his small eyes opened in surprise, and he quickly took a few bites and ate them before he drank two sips of tea with satisfaction: "Sister-in-law Wang is really ingenious, this sour bamboo shoots Cheng has eaten it, and the sour cabbage has been lonely and ugly, and he really hasn't eaten it." ”p>
Lan Yi smiled silently, sour cabbage is a specialty of the Northeast, from the "Great Zhou Geography", it can be seen that although this Northeast land is now regarded as the land of the Great Zhou Emperor, it is also a constant war and different trade, and it is normal for Huangxian County to be remote and have not eaten sauerkraut, but the sour bamboo shoots Cheng Beiyou actually ate it, which made Lan Yi a little surprised. p>
In fact, Cheng Beiyou likes the world's food the most, and the things he has tasted have always been deeply remembered, and he manages several inns and restaurants, and he has seen a lot of various cuisines. p>
"If these two pickles are interested in Shopkeeper Cheng, it is better to get some to make them rare." Lan Yi threw the bait. p>
"Oh? Is Sister-in-law Wang planning to sell this recipe to a small shop? Cheng Beiyou's eyes flashed, this is good. p>
Lan Yi shook his head: "Definitely." Cheng shopkeeper doesn't know, these two pickles are simple, there are no special ingredients, it is very easy to learn, the recipe is worthless, if you want to teach you now. ”p>
"Then thank you sister-in-law Wang, Cheng is welcome." Cheng Beiyou smiled next, since it's free, don't be in vain. p>
"Hehe, shopkeeper Cheng is really in business. The pickling of this sour bamboo shoot must be made with newly harvested bamboo shoots, and it may be difficult this winter, but the sour cabbage can be pickled. The little woman still has some pickled sour bamboo shoots and pickled cabbage at home, and many people in the village have also pickled a few jars. Lan Yi also looked at Cheng Beiyou with a smile, there is no free banquet in the world. p>
"Haha, happy! Cheng was taught. Sister-in-law Wang, I don't know how to calculate the price of sour bamboo shoots and sour cabbage? Cheng Beiyou has a sense of pleasure in meeting opponents in the shopping mall, and the more he looks at this little sister-in-law, the more satisfied he becomes. p>
Lan Yi restrained her smile and said frankly: "The value of these sauerkraut You will naturally have a judgment on the color of the dish, the people in the village rely on the fields to eat, and it is difficult to live, if the shopkeeper Cheng is willing to open a reasonable price, he can also add a few new clothes for the New Year." The little woman was widowed at home, and it was inconvenient for her to show her face. ”p>
Cheng Beiyou understood that Lan Yi didn't want to take the deal, but just let herself go to the village to collect sauerkraut. She didn't forget to plan for the people in the village when she earned her own livelihood, which shows that this person is a kind-hearted person, and Cheng Beiyou's eyes also showed a bit of sincere kindness. p>
"Cheng would like to thank Sister-in-law Wang for informing me, and I hope we will cooperate more in the future." p>
"The little women hope the same, and it's a pleasure to work together." Lan Yi nodded, Cheng Beiyou made her feel that it was handsome, "It's not early, the little woman wants to rush back to the village, so don't bother." ”p>
"It's fine. Xiao Qi, can you settle the money for this dish? Cheng Beiyou asked, the shopkeeper standing at the door with his hands down. p>
"It's over, a total of one hundred and fifty pounds." Xiao Qi, the second shopkeeper, handed the bag containing the money to Lan Yi with both hands, "Sister-in-law Wang, the little one is Xiao Qi, you can call Xiao Xiao Qi directly." ”p>
Lan Yi nodded, feeling that Xiao Qi's tone seemed to be very happy, and she didn't pay much attention to his inexplicable self-introduction, "Thank you Xiao Qi." Cheng shopkeeper, the little woman retired first. ”p>
Cheng Beiyou watched Lan Yi lead the donkey away, turned around and wanted to give Xiao Qi a chestnut pop, but he didn't know that this kid was very slippery, and he had already retreated two steps away. p>
"Master Cheng, what are you doing, you're 'sister-in-law Wang' just left and you're going to beat Xiao Qi!" Xiao Qi teased with an exaggerated expression, and he no longer had the respect for Cheng Beiyou in front of Lan Yi. p>
"You kid just have itchy skin! Go back and send you to the back kitchen to kill chickens and ducks, so loose the skin! ”p>
Cheng Beiyou saw that he had an underwhelming expression, coughed twice and said seriously, "This sister-in-law Wang is a ** who lives alone, don't talk nonsense about ruining people's reputation when you go out." ”p>
Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment, put away his smile and nodded, looking at Lan Yi's back thoughtfully. p>
"**, isn't it her?" PS: Thank you for the peace charm of Miracle Life 123 and the red envelope of the Wenjing children's shoes, Xiaolan is here to give everyone a good old age. Hehe, after reading the code word, I opened the window to see the fireworks that were constantly blooming, and it was gorgeous and beautiful. p>
