Qin Li only felt a fruity fragrance melt in his mouth, and the duck skin that he originally thought would be very greasy only had a feeling of crispiness and dregs, and the sweetness of the sugar instantly captured the appetite of this rich daughter.

Then Xia Jingyun picked up a thin lotus leaf cake, picked out a little of his homemade sweet noodle sauce with chopsticks, smeared it on it first, then picked up a piece of duck meat with skin, put it on it, added thin shredded green onions and cucumber strips, wrapped it slightly, and handed it to Qin Li.

With Fang Cai's confidence, Qin Li stretched out his hand to take it, and there was a little more expectation in his eyes.

After taking a bite, the crispy duck meat on the outside and tender on the inside, the aroma of sauce and meat, the freshness of cucumbers, and the onions added just the right hint of spicy sweetness, and the complex taste lingered in her mouth, she couldn't help but close her eyes and feel it carefully.

It's not a great delicacies of the mountains and seas, but it's better than a novel way to eat that has never been felt before.

Xia Jingyun looked at the neat semicircle on the remaining duck meat roll in her hand, and couldn't help but think, these teeth are really aligned!

Qin Li carefully ate the remaining half of the duck meat rolls, and then looked at Xia Jingyun, "Young Master Xia, do you want to sell this dish to Ming Yulou?" ”

Xia Jingyun breathed a sigh of relief, he was still afraid that this Qin girl would think that she was licking a dog and offering treasures, and if she didn't deal with it well, she might be troublesome, but she didn't expect people to be so transparent.

He smiled, "Yes and no. ”

Qin Li's smile slowly retracted, and he said calmly: "Young Master Xia, I admit that your dish is very level, but for a restaurant, one dish can't affect too much." ”

This gesture made Xia Jingyun immediately change his opinion of Qin Li, and suddenly understood why this Qin family's concubine was able to sit in Mingyulou and make Mingyulou better and better.

It seems that the Qin family has not been standing for so many years, but it is not all straw bales like Qin Yuwen.

He smiled and nodded, "Miss Qin is right, I have a few ideas, Miss Qin might as well help with one or two." ”

"First, this dish, I am going to invite my sister, that is, Concubine De Niangniang, to move Your Majesty to invite a banquet for several high-ranking officials in the court, and then offer this dish, if Your Majesty eats it, and can praise two sentences, this is the imperial meal, it is a good dish praised by Your Majesty, and it has a basis for publicity."

"Secondly, I plan to find the most upscale restaurant, invite a few of the most famous celebrities in the city, have a meal, and give each person a hundred taels of opening fee, to build momentum for this dish, and boast of the taste of the world."

"Third, invite a few more high-ranking officials to set up a banquet, invite subordinates or colleagues, and once again tout it, and make it a must-eat delicacy for the powerful in Beijing."

"Fourth, let the restaurant I work with launch a roast duck banquet to meet the needs of the powerful in the city."

"Finally, after a few days, a more humble roast duck feast with some of the ingredients replaced by some ingredients was launched at a lower price, and sold to ordinary restaurants in the city for ordinary people to try. At this point, this dish can be popular all over the city, and when a month or two later, the popularity of this dish will pass, and it will become an enduring delicacy, and then sold to people from other places in Beijing, or spread to other places. ”

He smiled, "Miss Qin and I have an old relationship, my first reaction is naturally to cooperate with Mingyulou, but if Mingyulou can't look at it, then I can only go to find another place, before Qin Xianggongzi invited me to a place, I feel that the environment is not bad, you can try." ”

Qin Li listened quietly, and sighed helplessly under Xia Jingyun's last threat, "Since Xia Gongzi's plan is so far-reaching, if the little woman bluffs again, it will be disrespectful to you, how does Xia Gongzi want to cooperate?" ”

It's not about what price, it's about how to cooperate

Xia Jingyun confirmed that Qin Li understood his words, and said with a smile: "I will teach your master the technique of roast duck, and you will be responsible for teaching your master the venue and reputation of Mingyulou, and the follow-up promotion in the rest of the restaurants will also be implemented by Mingyulou." Then the duck is provided by me, and in the end all the profits, you and I are divided in half. ”

Qin Li thought for a while after hearing this, "Then how much is Gongzi Xia going to sell?" ”

Xia Jingyun smiled and said, "Miss Qin thinks that one hundred taels a table, mainly roast duck, is it expensive?" ”

Qin Li's gaze swept over a few small plates and shook his head, "It's cheap." In this way, I will handle the pricing of Mingyulou, anyway, it should not be less than one hundred taels. ”

As the owner of Mingyu Building, she naturally knows the weight in the pockets of the guests who can spend in Mingyu Building.

"Then it's decided. As for the civilians, let's set a table of five taels of silver. ”

Qin Li seemed to smile, "I have long heard that Xia Gongzi is very close to the common people, and it seems that this is the case." ”

"Not really, but how much money can ordinary people have, people can't afford to eat enough if it's high, but they can't sell it for a penny."

Qin Li said briskly: "Then it's decided, do we want to make a deed?" ”

"Miss Qin, don't be in a hurry to agree yet. I found you this time because of another consideration. ”

Xia Jingyun opened his mouth and said: "Earlier, on the Shangyuan Festival, you told me about Qian Gongzi, and I thought that this matter would be over, but I didn't expect that Qian Gongzi provoked another incident a few days ago, but today this battle has temporarily come to an end. ”

Qin Li blinked, "It seems that you won again Young Master Xia?" ”

It ended with Brother Ling being so angry that he vomited blood and fell into a coma.

Xia Jingyun muttered in his heart and said: "The core battlefield of the battle between our two sides this time is this duck, and I found Miss Qin to show an attitude, if Brother Ling looks at me unpleasantly, I will follow all the tricks, and I will boldly fight back, but I don't mean to have a comprehensive relationship with the Qin family." I believe Miss Qin can understand the subtlety, right? ”

Qin Li nodded seriously, "Actually, from the perspective of the Qin family, I don't want to have any grudges with Xia Gongzi and Concubine De, the eldest brother acts like this, I don't want to say anything, but as you said, the eldest brother is the eldest brother, I am me, the Qin family is the Qin family, at least now that I am in charge, Mingyulou is willing to cooperate with Xia Gongzi." ”

"That's good." Xia Jingyun smiled and nodded, "Then let's sign the deed." ”

Both parties had no objections, prepared pen and ink, and wrote the deed.

Among them, Xia Jingyun made a small adjustment, and changed the object of his technology sharing from Ming Yulou to Qin Li himself, according to his explanation, what he values is Qin Li, and what he believes is also Qin Li, worried that Qin Yuwen will use the means of the clan to take Ming Yulou back, then he will be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis.

Qin Li agreed with his explanation, blushed slightly, and signed the deed.

Taking the deed into his arms, Xia Jingyun arched his hand towards Qin Li, "Miss Qin, I wish us all the best." ”

Qin Li smiled and said, "Thanks to the attention of Young Master Xia, I should do my best." ”

"Okay, then don't delay too much, bother Miss Qin to find a place in the back kitchen, and pick a few trustworthy masters, I will transport the tools over later and teach them the technique."

Qin Li snorted, "Young Master Xia, please rest assured, Ming Yulou has its own means to ensure that they will not leak the secret recipe." ”

Xia Jingyun nodded and left.

After a while, he brought someone over with four or five specially made stoves from the Jiang'an Hou Mansion, and a large number of strange tools.

Then, he entered the back kitchen of Mingyu Building, went to the place arranged by Qin Li, and explained the details of making roast duck to the three masters selected by Qin Li.

This busy work was directly busy until the early hours of the morning.

The three masters listened first, then tried to do it themselves, and then Xia Jingyun continued to pick and choose, and made rapid progress.

Although it is still far from being truly proficient, at least it has been able to slowly make a basically decent finished product.

Xia Jingyun looked at the sky, sighed that there was really not enough time, and said, "You three, hurry up and find a place to sleep well, don't run far." ”

Although the three of them were tortured to be dizzy and want to die, they also had a sense of accomplishment when they saw the progress of their skills, and they were tired at this time, when they were chasing after the victory, they heard Xia Jingyun say this, and hurriedly said: "Young Master Xia, we are not tired." ”

Xia Jingyun rolled his eyes, "You're not tired, I'm tired!" I'll only give you three hours to sleep! ”

When he came out, Chen Fugui spoke: "Son, why don't you tell them the truth, what if they don't hurry up and rest?" ”

Xia Jingyun tugged at the corners of his mouth, "How can they sleep for a while, if I tell them the truth, I'm afraid they won't be able to sleep for a moment." ”

He yawned and stayed up for two nights in a row, even if he hadn't done anything to make himself weak recently, he was a little overwhelmed when the villain raised his head every morning, "Let's go, let's go back and squint for a while." ”

——

Early in the morning, Qin Yuwen woke up in a night of hangover, pushed away the lotus root arms and long legs on his body, and the Oiran Niang, who was hugging him like an octopus, also woke up leisurely, looking at him with beautiful eyes, watermelon clamped his arm, jade hand touched his chest, and said coquettishly: "Hmm~ Childe, sleep for a while!" ”

After Qin Yuwen indulged in a night, the depression in his heart seemed to be vented last night with sweat and energy, and at this moment his mind was full of sage principles and elders' advice, so he rudely pushed the Oiran away, got dressed and walked out without hesitation, as if last night's infatuation and depth were just a dream.

After returning to Qin's mansion, he walked to Qin Li's courtyard and looked at the maids on duty, "Where's Miss?" ”

"Back to the eldest son, the young lady went to Mingyu Tower early in the morning."

Seeing that the little sister was so diligent, Qin Yuwen suddenly felt a little ashamed of being the eldest brother, and wondered: "I remember that she usually passed after the end of the day, why is it so early today." ”

"The slave maid heard that she had a big deal with Xia Gongzi from Jiang'an Hou's Mansion, and she came back late last night."

"Who?" Qin Yuwen suddenly became excited.

The maidservant girl was startled, and said weakly: "Xia Gongzi of Jiangjiang Anhou Mansion." ”

"Damn!"

Qin Yuwen turned around and ran out, the undisguised anger made the maid instantly frightened, she reacted, she was in a big disaster.

When Qin Yuwen hurried to Mingyu Tower, Qin Li was sitting on the top floor of the main building, writing something on the table.

"What business did you talk about with Xia Jingyun?"

Qin Li looked at his brother who was like an angry bull, and his heart was a little disappointed.

But no matter what, this eldest brother with the same father and mother has doted on her since she was a child, and she can't care about such a trivial matter, so she took the initiative to get up, personally poured him a cup of tea, and said softly: "He created his own dish, and he just wants to cooperate with Ming Yulou." ”

"What dish?"

"Roast duck."

！！！

Qin Yuwen stood up suddenly, and instantly understood in his mind, he was raised by a son of a bitch, it turns out that you played this abacus!

"Cancel your cooperation with him!"

Qin Yuwen immediately spoke resolutely.

Qin Li's expression was calm, "We have signed the deed. Cancellations are costly. ”

"How much? I'll pay for you! ”

At the moment, he didn't even understand whether this thought was because of his anger towards Xia Jingyun, or because of his anger at the fact that his own sister, who had been guarding him since childhood, was contaminated by dog thieves.

Qin Li didn't open his mouth to say anything offensive to preach, but sat down next to him with a smile, "Big brother and Xia Gongzi lost a lot of money in this battle, right?" ”

Qin Yuwen snorted coldly.

Qin Li said with a smile: "Then I will earn the money back through this cooperation, and I will give it all to you when the time comes, won't you lose money!" This is called Xia Gongzi's magic machine in the front, and Qian Gongzi's clever calculation in the back, don't you say? ”

Qin Yuwen was a little moved when he heard this, and immediately reacted, "What's the matter!" I was almost tricked into it, if you can make money, can he earn less? When the time comes, don't you still step on me and make a lot of money! No, you must not work with him. ”

Qin Li stretched out his hand and shook Qin Yuwen's arm like when he was a child, "Big brother~~"

Qin Yuwen ripped her hand off, "Since you want to call me this big brother, you are not allowed to cooperate with him!" ”

Seeing that it was not good to say anything, Qin Li was also a little angry in his heart, and his face turned flat, "Big brother, you are late, and now you can't help us." ”

"Why can't we help it? I said, I will pay the money for the breach of contract, when will my Qin family worry about the money! ”

Qin Li shook his head.

Qin Yuwen raised his eyebrows, "What?" Is there anyone else in this? Who is it, you tell me, I'll go to him! ”

Qin Li sighed, just turned his head to look at the hourglass in the corner of the room, "It should be about the same." ”

Qin Yuwen frowned, "What are you talking about?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a burst of footsteps sounded, "Miss, someone is in the palace." ”

Qin Li nodded and said, "Please come up." ”

After a while, a small yellow door walked in, and when he saw that Qin Yuwen was also there, he hurriedly said, "The slave has seen Gongzi Qin and Miss Qin." ”

Qin Li smiled and said, "Father-in-law doesn't have to be polite, why did you come here?" ”

The palace attendant said: "Your Majesty heard that Ming Yulou has developed a new dish, and the special slave maid came to invite a few masters to enter the palace and make one for Your Majesty and Concubine De Niangniang." ”

Qin Li hurriedly got up, "Okay, please sit down with tea in the living room for a while, and I'll arrange it." ”

After the palace attendant followed downstairs, Qin Li turned to look at his eldest brother and spread his hands, "I said, you're late." ”

2-in-1.

And also.
