Chapter 14: Sincerity
April never expected that because of tofu, my uncle would have such an adventure.
In the previous life, this certainly never happened. From beginning to end, the eldest uncle was just an ordinary person who could do white things.
One of her actions inadvertently changed the trajectory of her uncle's life, and she couldn't say whether it was good or bad.
After having dinner at my uncle's house, I agreed on the time of the next meeting, and left in April with the little four okra.
"Yuan April!"
As soon as I turned around, I saw Yuan Erlang in April.
"Yuan Laoer, you are not studying in class, is it because you are skipping class?" Yuan April opened his mouth and went back.
She observed that there were several students in the distance.
Yuan Erlang snorted coldly, "I want you to take care of it." Yuan April, I want to tell you that my family also wants to make tofu to sell. Your tofu business is almost gone. β
Scold!
April rolled her eyes, "Yuan Lao Er, you are really promising." β
"Yuan April, don't be complacent. Isn't it just making tofu, now every household will make tofu, I see how long you can be proud. β
"You care so much about me, are you worried that I have no money and will rely on your family?" April is smiling but not smiling.
"Who cares about you. I'm warning you. β
April sneered, what a naΓ―ve and stupid thing. She didn't bother to talk nonsense, turned around and left.
"Sister, Brother Shuping won't catch up." Little four okra is nervous.
"He didn't dare!" April is definitely and certain.
Yuan Erlang is a very good person, how much he screams on his mouth, but in fact, his heart is very empty.
"Erlang, is that Tofu April?"
Several students converged with Yuan Erlang, and one of them asked.
"It's my cousin Tofu April. I remember her uncle's house was nearby. β
"Tofu April, a woman, is so capable." One of the students in silk said.
"Brother Hu's words are wrong, my cousin is fierce and vicious, she doesn't want to be a female celebrity, she will only be busy with business. Not a good woman. Yuan Erlang rightly said bad things about April.
Young Master Hu smiled and was noncommittal.
β¦β¦
A few days later, the two uncles came to April's house with a large family.
Served with noodle soup in April.
A large pot of bone broth is used to make the soup base. Knead the noodles and boil the noodles, add chopped green onions, salt, and two slices of mutton, and it is a delicious noodle soup.
The umami flavor of bone broth, without the need for any condiments, is enough to give a bowl of noodle soup an enticing flavor that is mouth-watering.
After eating the noodle soup made by April himself, both uncles thought that this business could be done.
Learn to knead ramen first.
If you want to rent a shop in the county to make noodles, you will definitely not be able to keep busy by relying on April alone. Everyone has to learn, and whoever learns well is the main force.
Unexpectedly, the two aunts didn't learn it, but it was cousin Li Juaner and cousin Li Xiang who learned the essence.
The two uncles went into the city to look for shops.
In April, Lu Lin and Lu Gongzi were sent a bowl of hot noodle soup. To open a store in the county, you must borrow strength.
Otherwise, the ruffians and hooligans, plus the government officials looking for trouble for three days and two times, are enough to close a shop.
Lu Lin and Lu Gongzi tasted the taste of noodle soup, which was very aftertaste. But he wasn't greedy, just a few bites.
Yuan April sent a bowl of noodle soup to let the Lu family support her and facilitate her to open a store in the county seat. She's really calculating. Lu Gongzi gently wiped the corners of his lips and sneered.
The housekeeper bowed slightly, "Yuan April is waiting outside the door, does the son want to see her?" β
Lu Lin smiled, "No! You go and tell her that if you want to use the name of the Lu clan to do business, you need to exchange things for it. Ben Gongzi was very curious about how many good things she still had in her hands. β
"No!"
The butler answered and bowed down.
In April, when he learned that he needed to exchange things, Lu Gongzi was willing to agree to her to borrow strength, so he pondered.
She asked the housekeeper, "I wonder what the eldest prince wants?" β
The housekeeper said ambiguously: "It depends on Miss Yuan's sincerity. β
Sincerity?
What kind of sincerity is true?
In April, she went home and thought about it for a day and a night, and a few days later she brought more than a dozen kinds of pastries and pastries to Lu Gongzi.
"Childe, Miss Yuan said that this is her sincerity. If Childe thinks it tastes good, she can pass on the skills to the chefs in the house. β
Lu Lin picked up a piece of xiaolongbao and took a bite, well, the taste was satisfactory to him.
"She can think about it, and she can make tricks for buns."
Then he tasted a few more scones, sweet and salty, and floral. The styling is also varied.
He seemed to be satisfied, "Go and invite Miss Yuan in." β
"No!"
In April, she was brought into the Yuan family's mansion, pavilions, rich and luxurious, and she didn't have time to see it. Her mind was full of the upcoming meeting.
Coming to the flower hall, April bowed down, "I've seen Lu Gongzi." β
"Miss Yuan is polite, please take a seat!"
"Thank you!" April sat on the floor in front of the low table.
Lu Lin sat on the low floor casually, with the demeanor of a noble son, "Miss Yuan has a request, and I have seen the sincerity." I was very satisfied with a few pastries. β
When I heard it in April, I was happy in my heart, there is a door for this matter.
Lu Lin said again: "It's just that I'm a little curious, since Miss Yuan makes first-hand cakes, why doesn't she open a pastry shop, but she wants to open a soup and noodle shop?" β
April explained: "Pastries are just a snack after a meal, and there are only a few people who are willing to spend money on pastries every day. Noodle soup shop is a staple food, you have to eat it every day, and you can eat it full, and you can withstand hunger, and there will be more customers. β
Lu Lin nodded, "That makes sense." For the people, a piece of cake is not as good as a bowl of noodle soup. However, if you are away from home, it will be much more convenient to carry these pastries with you. Miss Yuan's sincerity, I accepted it. You open a store in the county seat, and the Lu family will protect your safety. However, if you offend someone who shouldn't be offended, Miss Yuan knows what to do! β
"Master Lu can rest assured, he is operating with a small capital, and he doesn't dare to offend the nobles."
"That's great!"
In April, he got up and said goodbye and stayed in Lufu to teach the cook to learn how to make pastries.
After she taught the Lu family's cook, the two uncles also found a shop in the county seat, located near the market. Although the location is a little out of the way, the advantage is that the rent is cheaper.
I want to go to the county in April, and Yuan Li is reluctant.
"You went to the county, what should you do at home?"
She panicked. She is used to being in charge of the house in April, and April is in charge of everything inside and outside the house, she only needs to do needlework every day.
As soon as April left, she felt like she had lost her backbone and was at a loss.
April reassured her, "I'll be back in half a month at most." Cousin Juan'er and Cousin Xiang's skills are no less than mine, and there are two aunts to help. β
"What about you? What are you doing? You can't just do nothing and wait for the money to be divided. After a long time, even if your two uncles have no opinions, your two uncles will have opinions. β
"I contributed the capital and borrowed the Lu family. Without Lu's care, there is no way to open a store in the county. A few ruffians can keep the store open. β
Yuan Li was still worried, "Can this be done?" It's been a long time......"
"It's been a long time, if my uncle and they are not satisfied with my money, it will not be too late to break up the gang at that time."
April's attitude was very free, and after two or three years, the world was in chaos. She doesn't know if the noodle soup shop will be able to open at that time.
opened this noodle soup shop, one is to make money, and the other is to help the two uncles save some money.
The kindness of the two uncles to her family, she can't forget it, since she has the ability, she should return the kindness.
