Chapter 332: The Lion Opens His Mouth
"I know that." Shi Feng took the list and looked at it carefully, his brows furrowed more and more, "But the process of these dishes is too cumbersome, just this 'Five Blessings' has to start preparing the stew several days in advance, and it must be stewed with the old hen for at least a day to bring out the essence of the soup." ”
"Is it so cumbersome?"
Qin Lian leaned over to take a look, and Shi Feng explained to her the cooking process of a few dishes, every day just to prepare the dishes had to be prepared a few days in advance, including many seafood that did not exist in the town at all, these were all to be prepared in advance.
The Liu family just gave her a list and a deposit, which included the silver to buy the ingredients.
As for the ingredients, Liu Fu will not prepare them for them.
I don't know how much time it will take.
"Shi Feng, how sure are you about the dishes on this list?" Qin Lian asked, "Ah Liu said that this is a good opportunity, you can see which of the famous dishes you will have, and I will discuss with Ah Liu how to deal with the rest." ”
"Okay!"
Shi Feng drew all the dishes he could cook on the list.
Qin Lian took stock, and there were a total of twelve dishes on the list, eight of which were from Shi Fengfeng. Seeing this result, Qin Lian breathed a sigh of relief, this was already much better than she expected.
She took the list and went over to find Su Liuye.
There are also simple cooking methods on the list, Su Liuye looked at it, she can probably make the dishes that Shi Feng doesn't know, but there will definitely be consumption in the ingredients.
It just so happened that the business of the silk village has stabilized in the past few days, and the store has also recruited a lot of employees and embroiderers, Huang Ying has also made time to deal with the things in the store, and Su Liuye does not need to watch the store all the time.
She called Qin Lian, and the two went to Liu's Mansion together, wanting to negotiate the price of the list.
Liu Fu handed over the list of the winter banquet to her, and she naturally had to do it well, but she would not suffer a loss.
It was the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion who received them, but they didn't talk a few words, and Song Xiao also brought the maid Rong'er over.
"Miss Song." Steward Liu got up and arched his hand to Song Xiao, and handed her the list, "This is the price that Shopkeeper Su negotiated with us, what do you think, Miss?" ”
Song Xiao sat down.
Rong'er understood, reached out and took the list, and after looking at it, she handed it to Song Xiao, "Miss, look!" ”
Song Xiao swept his eyes, a smile appeared on his gentle face, and his voice was still as soft as ever, "Shopkeeper Su, your price is three times what I gave you before." At this price, I can ask the chef in the capital to come over. ”
Su Liuye said with a smile, "Miss Song, we cyclamen have been open in the town for a while, and thanks to the love of the neighbors, we are also well-known in the town." But we've always been in the neighborhood business, and you should know that the list you gave me is hard to find in the town just because of the ingredients you need. ”
Song Xiao drank tea and smiled without saying a word.
Su Liuye continued, "Cyclamen not only has to have the chef prepare the dishes, but also the ingredients, and the cost of these people alone is a lot of money, and it is reasonable to triple the price. If Miss Song is not satisfied, we can not accept this list. ”
"What do you mean?" Rong'er couldn't help it first, "Miss and I handed over the list to you, you took it, and now you say you won't accept it, are you playing with us?!" ”
"I mean, if Miss Song thinks the price is unreasonable, she can ask another Gao Ming." Su Liuye said, "It's our honor that Miss Song can find the cyclamen, but it's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and if there are no ingredients, we can't do anything." ”
Rong'er became even more angry when she heard her words, and said in a low voice Song Xiao, "Miss, I think they are just insatiable and want more silver!" ”
Song Xiao was just teacuping, and his eyes were lowered as if he was thinking deeply. After a moment, she asked, "Shopkeeper Su, can you guarantee that the banquet will be held smoothly?" ”
Su Liuye laughed, and although it was only a few words, she could already sense that this Miss Song didn't seem to like them very much.
On the surface, it seems that she is looking for them to prepare a banquet, but in fact, she is embarrassing them everywhere, and keeps putting a high hat on her head, if the banquet cannot be held smoothly, this Miss Song is afraid that she will put the responsibility on her.
"Aliu!"
Qin Lian also heard that something was wrong, and hurriedly suppressed her voice and said, "Otherwise, we won't take this list!" ”
There is no shortage of guests in Luoxi Town, and there is really no need for them to take orders from the Liu family.
This Song Xiaoming is prejudiced against her because of Liu Yuan's incident, who knows how she will be embarrassed by the time?
"It's fine." Su Liuye comforted softly, and said, "Miss Song, I still say the same thing, if you don't believe us, then there is no need to hand over the winter banquet to us." Since you've chosen us, why bother putting pressure on you before the banquet even starts? ”
Song Xiao laughed, but the hand holding the teacup increased his strength.
It was she who underestimated this shopkeeper Su, who was indeed a figure who was not easy to deal with.
Su Liuye said again, "Miss Song, if you can accept it, we will continue to cooperate, if it doesn't work, there is no way." ”
Song Xiao was silent for a while, and then said, "Okay, since Shopkeeper Su has already made his words so clear, I will get straight to the point." I can agree to the price you offered, but you also have to guarantee me that the banquet will go smoothly. The list I gave you has a cooking process, such a simple request, Shopkeeper Su won't be able to do it, right? ”
"Naturally."
Su Liuye should take a bite.
"Miss!"
When Rong'er heard this, she was anxious, "The eldest lady said, this banquet-"
"I've got my own measure."
Song Xiao interrupted her, asked the housekeeper to bring a pen and paper, and wrote a new list for Su Liuye, with her and Su Liuye's names signed on it.
After the matter was dealt with, Su Liuye had no need to stay, and left with Qin Lian.
When Rong'er saw them leaving, she immediately said, "Miss, why did you promise them?" The eldest lady said that this winter banquet was only given 1,000 taels, and their cyclamen came to ask for 800 taels of silver. ”
The ingredients used in the banquet of Liu's Mansion are all high-end ingredients, and there are even those used by the palace, and the price is naturally very high, but no matter how high it is, it will not cost eight hundred taels at once!
"Rong'er, haven't you heard that you can't hold it if you are reluctant?" Song Xiao took a sip of tea, "My aunt asked me to be in charge of this winter banquet, so I naturally have to do my best." If Su Liuye really has the ability to help me organize the winter banquet, eight hundred taels of silver is still worth it, besides, if I don't agree to them, how can they take this order? ”
Rong'er frowned, thinking that this was also the case, but she still complained a few words, and the Suliuye lion opened her mouth.
