Ancestral recipes
The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "Miss Zhao, you can torture me by saying that."
Five years ago, my small shop was not running well, no one came to the door, and I was almost going back to my hometown.
It was you who gave me a few recipes so that I could continue to do this small business in Pushan County.
Over the years, although I haven't said it in my heart, I am very grateful to you, Miss Zhao......"
Zhao Sichen said with a smile: "I am also very grateful to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper made a promise, said that he would pay dividends every year, and never broke his promise......"
The shopkeeper hurriedly replied: "Miss Zhao praises falsely, it should be, it should be ......."
Zhao Sichen said: "It's just that I don't do production, but relying on the shopkeeper you are busy all day long, you have run the restaurant so well, and I am really ashamed to enjoy it......
The shopkeeper bowed again and again: "Miss Zhao, I can't afford you to say this......"
Zhao Sichen said with a smile: "I came here today to discuss with you, and I don't need to give ...... this year's dividends."
When the shopkeeper was told by Zhao Sichen, his heart jumped suddenly, and he almost jumped up.
He stood up suddenly: "Miss Zhao, do you think that the annual dividend of 50 taels of silver is too little?"
- Yes, not much.
To tell you the truth, in the past two years, the war in Wu has decreased, and the business of the restaurant is indeed more prosperous than before.
If you feel less, I can add money......"
Zhao Sichen waved his hand, comforted the shopkeeper and said, "Don't worry, you sit down and say." ”
The shopkeeper's head was already sweating.
Zhao Sichen found him five years ago.
At that time, the state of Zhao had already died in the country, and the country was changed to the state of Wu, the political situation was unstable, and there were wars in many places.
Although Pushan County is located on the border, it is inevitably affected.
His restaurant was not run well, and in addition to the war, he lost all his family fortune.
The shopkeeper thought that he had no choice but to take his family with him, sell the restaurant, and go back to the countryside to farm.
Who knows, a girl from an outsider who had just moved to Pushan County found him and said that she could give him a recipe.
At the time, he was only a seven-year-old doll and was joking, almost kicking people out.
Who knows, this doll, from the food box he carried, took out a plate of hot dishes.
When he ate it, he was shocked.
If you are in one of those big restaurants in Kyoto, the recipe of this dish is definitely worth a thousand dollars.
It's a pity that he is just the shopkeeper of a restaurant that is about to go out of business, and he is too shy to pay for this recipe.
This seven-year-old doll is quite old, and said crisply: "You don't need your money, you just need to give me a dividend from the annual profits." ”
The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and held on.
Sure enough, the dish was an instant hit in Pushan County.
Not only people passing through Pushan County will come over to taste it-
Even people from the surrounding counties have come to Pushan County to try his craft.
He turned over with the dish.
The shopkeeper didn't want to go home to farm, so he continued to do business in Pushan County.
The business became more and more prosperous, and he hired workers, dressed in satin, and built a small two-story building.
This girl from the Zhao family is really strange, even if she divides the money, she still lives a simple and simple life.
even asked him to see her, as if he didn't know her.
It is said that the little girl gave the ancestral recipe, and the original ancestral precepts stipulated that it should not be passed on.
In addition, the old master in the family is very old-fashioned, if he knew that she stole the recipe of her ancestor and sold it to him, he was afraid that he would beat her to death.
At the beginning, the shopkeeper was worried that the Zhao family would come to the door to make trouble, but who knows, after so many years.
At the end of each year, after Zhao Sichen received dividends, he would give him a recipe for a new dish.
Each new dish will set off a wave of craze in Pushan County.
If Zhao Sichen refuses to accept his money again, it also means that the recipe of the new dish has lost hope......
Zhao Sichen seemed to see the shopkeeper's concern, and said with a smile: "I can't hide it, I came to the shopkeeper today to confess to the shopkeeper, my family's recipes have been sold by me." ”
The shopkeeper's heart suddenly fell to the bottom again: "No, it's gone?!" ”
Zhao Sichen nodded with a smile and said: "Shopkeeper, I have given you five recipes in the past five years, and it is already a great thing for ordinary people to be able to make one or two good dishes, and my ancestors are rare geniuses, so I created my own five dishes." ”
The shopkeeper couldn't hide his disappointment and slowly sat down.
He naturally knew that Zhao Sichen was telling the truth.
Those who can create their own dishes are everyone.
He also created a five-course meal, which is a rare culinary genius.
If he opened a restaurant in Dajingcheng, one dish would be enough for him to become famous all over the world.
Zhao Sichen said: "I originally wanted to delay it and wait until the end of this year to tell you, but we have cooperated for so many years, and I can't bear to hide it from you." ”
The shopkeeper has been running a restaurant for a long time, and he is a person with high emotional intelligence, but when he heard Zhao Sichen say this, he hurriedly cleaned up his mood and said, "Miss Zhao, you are serious." I promise to give Miss Zhao a dividend of 10% every year, even if Miss Zhao doesn't have new recipes in the future, I won't break my promise......"
Zhao Sichen said with a smile: "I know that the shopkeeper is reliable." ”
The shopkeeper smiled reluctantly and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, although I am a businessman, I also know the truth of a promise." ”
Zhao Sichen looked at the shopkeeper and couldn't hide his frustration.
With a faint smile on her face, she slowly finished the tea in her hand.
Well, good tea, it seems that the shopkeeper has saved some money in the past two years.
After the shopkeeper sat down again, Zhao Sichen smiled and said again: "I still have one last recipe here......
The shopkeeper's eyes suddenly lit up: "And?!" ”
Zhao Sichen said: "Yes, I am grateful to the shopkeeper for taking care of me over the years, so I specially brought the last recipe handed down by my ancestors to the shopkeeper." ”
Zhao Sichen took out a small piece of paper from the purse around his waist, and there were faint traces of ink on the back of the paper.
The shopkeeper's breath became short, his eyes were tightly glued to the paper in Zhao Sichen's hand, and he followed the movements of Zhao Sichen's hand.
The shopkeeper's cheeks flushed with excitement, and he was almost speechless: "This, this, this...... Thank you so much Miss Zhao......"
Zhao Sichen smiled and said, "It should be." ”
Shopkeeper: "This, this, no merit, I don't dare to ask for Miss Zhao's recipe for nothing......"
Zhao Sichen said: "I don't want your dividends in the future, I just don't want it." ”
The shopkeeper's breathing could not be stabilized, and he hurriedly shouted: "Then I will buy it out at one time!" ”
Zhao Sichen answered very simply: "Okay! ”
The shopkeeper was stunned by Zhao Sichen's unshirkable consent.
Zhao Sichen said with a smile: "I don't know how much silver the shopkeeper can pay me?" ”
The shopkeeper also eased up, and said with a smile: "Let Miss Zhao make the price." ”
Zhao Sichen handed the recipe in his hand to the shopkeeper: "500 taels, I want cash." ”
The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and responded briskly: "Okay! ”
Zhao Sichen said with a smile: "There is a shopkeeper." ”
Shopkeeper: "Girl, wait a minute. ”
The shopkeeper helped Zhao Sichen refill a cup of tea, and then hurried away.
