"Happy New Year, sister-in-law. ”

As soon as Bai Yu walked to the carriage, someone jumped down from the carriage, and looked at it to see who Xue Ziyi was waiting for?

Xue Ziyi came over, followed by a few more people, namely Xue Hanyu, Xue's, and the shopkeeper of Shengcai Restaurant.

Seeing this, Bai Yu hurriedly invited people into the courtyard, the house was very small, and it was not repaired much because he was preparing to go to the county seat, so many people became more and more crowded as soon as they came in, and finally Bai Yu simply moved the stool to the courtyard to sit.

As soon as a few people sat down, Xue Ziyi couldn't stay idle, and pulled Bai Yu to chatter.

"Sister-in-law, my mother said, it's the New Year, anyway, there are only a few of us in our family, and there are only you and Brother Linyuan in your family, let's just come over and join you for the New Year." ”

Seeing this, Xue on the side couldn't help but pat his daughter.

"Shopkeeper Zhang has something to find your sister-in-law, don't make trouble for me there. ”

As soon as Xue said this, Xue Ziyi stopped, and Bai Yu turned his eyes to the shopkeeper on the side, and when the shopkeeper heard this, he couldn't help but smile: "Little lady, I came to ask you to buy another recipe." ”

Shopkeeper Zhang was a little nervous, after all, it was already very difficult for this chef to be able to study one or two dishes in his life, and this Bai Yu had already sold a recipe, but it was a bit too much for him to come again.

However, after the guests in the restaurant have eaten firecrackers to welcome the spring, they are not interested in other dishes in the restaurant at all, and the tofu every day is only a little bit, every guest is rushing to welcome the spring with firecrackers, and they can't eat firecrackers to welcome the spring or eat anything else, so although the business of his restaurant is good, but seeing that so many guests come and don't eat, his heart is also anxious.

When Bai Yu heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Shopkeeper, isn't it easy to sell firecrackers for the Spring Festival?"

"It's so good, it's because it's so easy to sell, it's not in supply, and since I ate firecrackers to welcome the spring, I don't want to eat other dishes in the restaurant. ”

This made the shopkeeper Zhang very depressed, and also made the chef of Shengcai Restaurant realize his own shortcomings, he also ate firecrackers to welcome the spring, to tell the truth, he ate other dishes he made after eating, really, it didn't feel delicious at all.

Shopkeeper Zhang's words made that Bai Yu a little surprised, and then figured it out again, the cooking skills and seasonings of this era are very lacking, and after eating firecrackers to welcome spring because of shiitake mushrooms and other freshness, he must have no interest in other dishes in the store that only have two salts and a little soy sauce and dogwood seasoning.

Bai Yu, who originally only planned to sell recipes as working capital, looked at the shopkeeper Zhang's brain turning rapidly.

Seeing this, Xue Hanyu on the side suddenly realized in his heart that his sister-in-law was afraid that she would be holding back at this time.

Seeing that Bai Yu didn't speak, Shopkeeper Zhang raised his heart and looked at Bai Yu nervously.

After a long time, Bai Yu set his eyes on the shopkeeper Zhang.

"I don't sell recipes. ”

"But ......"

As soon as Bai Yu's words were finished, the shopkeeper Zhang sighed in frustration, and then his heart suddenly picked up again, and he looked at Bai Yu nervously: "But what?"

"We can work together in a different way. ”

"I can provide food for your restaurant for free, but I have to take 20% of the shares of your restaurant. As he spoke, Bai Yu stretched out his hand and pointed at his head.

"I have countless dishes in my head, and I only account for 20%, and you definitely don't lose anything. ”

Bai Yu's voice was not loud, but it clearly came into the ears of everyone present, Xue Ziyi and Xue's mother and daughter's eyes almost popped out, sister-in-law really dared to think, the shares of the restaurant accounted for 20%, isn't it also the boss?

Compared with the shock of Xue Ziyi and Xue, Xue Hanyu and Ji Linyuan were much calmer, and the two looked at Bai Yu's confident look, and their hearts moved slightly.

Shopkeeper Zhang originally thought that Bai Yu would ask for more money, but he never thought that she would make this request, accounting for 20% of the restaurant.

Shengcai Restaurant was opened by him, and suddenly a person came and wanted to take 20%, he naturally didn't mean it in his heart, but when he thought that now the restaurant only has one signature dish, although it sells well, but the quantity is limited, thinking about what Bai Yu said, if she can really make countless kinds of talents, accounting for 20%, he will not lose.

In thought, he gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Okay, it's just two percent, the little lady really knows countless dishes?" The shopkeeper has some drumming in his heart, after all, he is apprenticed to learn the art, and the master cannot pass on all the skills to you, doesn't that teach the apprentice to starve to death The master is not bad? A cook can know one or two specialty dishes, and he will know countless ways, and his heart is really a little drumming.

Bai Yu saw Shopkeeper Zhang's suspicious look, and couldn't help but say: "If Shopkeeper Zhang doesn't mind, let's have a reunion together for a New Year and try my craftsmanship." ”

In fact, Bai Yu's words are a bit unreasonable, after all, who doesn't go home for the New Year, but there is no basis for cooking this kind of thing, she said that no matter how many dishes she will cook, it is better to sit on a few dishes and come out, and her actions can move people more than any language.

But he didn't want to, so the shopkeeper Zhang didn't want to get down, and said to the carriage waiting outside, and asked the carriage master to go back with a message, and waited for the New Year's dinner here in Baiyu with peace of mind.

Bai Yu was originally only preparing to reunite with Ji Linyuan and Widow Zhang, and the three of them didn't have much to prepare, but now that there are so many people here, they naturally have to prepare well.

"Sister-in-law, I'll help you, we brought tofu here. Xue Ziyi was idle, and when he saw Bai Yu go to the kitchen, he hurriedly followed, and Xue Ziyi was still followed by Xue.

When Bai Yu heard this, he shook his head: "No need, I can do it alone, you go and play, there are sugar cakes and melon seeds outside, go out and eat." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Xue: "Auntie, you can also go and rest, you can wait to taste my craftsmanship today." ”

As soon as the two left, Bai Yu closed the kitchen and went to work, she generally doesn't like to be disturbed when she cooks, and she usually doesn't forget it, anyway, it's all home-cooked food, but when it's really time to cook carefully, she doesn't like someone around, which will disturb her.

Because of the Chinese New Year, although there are no relatives to come, but now the weather is very cold, and she doesn't want to go out for the whole New Year, so she has prepared a lot of ingredients at home, including fish and pork ribs, lean meat and fatty meat.

She is a southerner, and she will have the habit of smoking bacon during the New Year, and she also smoked some bacon and sausages, but she didn't raise pigs at home, so she had to sell everything, so she felt troublesome and finally gave up.

Prepare the spices at home and start cooking.

Ji Linyuan has a bit of a sweet tooth, she made the fish into sweet and sour fish, pepper and salt pork ribs, and hot and sour shredded pork, and made mapo tofu with the tofu they brought by Xue Ziyi, and green vegetable tofu soup, fried a few green vegetables, and dug Houttuynia cordata on the mountain, with homemade oil chili peppers, ginger and garlic, pepper, and cold dressing.

In the end, she used the noodles before cooking, and after waking up, she pulled fourteen buttons of dragon beard noodles, which were as thin as hair and fried in warm oil until crispy, and the color was brown and sprinkled with sugar, and all kinds of New Year's nuts bought, and finally carved the dragon head and dragon tail with the radish she bought.

When Bai Yu brought the finished food to the table, the people who originally set their eyes on the dinner table all looked at Bai Yu's hand, and the carved head was vivid, as if there was really a dragon on it.

Rao is Ji Linyuan and they knew that Bai Yu's cooking skills were good, but they were all stunned after seeing the snowflake dragon whisker noodles on Bai Yu's hands.

Originally, the shopkeeper Zhang was very apprehensive, and always felt that it was impossible for Bai Yu to make so many dishes, but he hoped that she could make it, so that even if he gave up 20% of the shares, then he could make a lot of money, and just let 20% come out, and in the end, the restaurant was his.

In the end, when he saw the dishes that Bai Yu put on the dinner table, he believed that what Bai Yu said was not a joke, and when Bai Yu finally brought out the snow dragon beard noodles, the shopkeeper stood up from the stool with a pout, and no longer hesitated.

"Little lady, twenty percent of the shares, that's it. ”

Shopkeeper Zhang is excited, there are not many people on the white jade table, but for Shopkeeper Zhang, all of them are something he has never seen before, if these dishes can appear in his restaurant, then the sound of their restaurant is not an exaggeration to describe it as Rijin Doujin.

Hearing this, Bai Yu glanced at Shopkeeper Zhang, smiled, and put the Snow Dragon Beard Noodles on the table: "Shopkeeper Zhang, don't you taste my craftsmanship first?"

"Don't taste it, I believe in the craftsmanship of the little lady. "Bai Yu's craftsmanship, he had already tasted it when he tasted firecrackers to welcome spring, and now that she can make so many dishes, he believes that the taste of this dish will definitely not be wrong.

Seeing this, Bai Yu smiled and beckoned everyone to eat together.

Ji Linyuan and the others are okay, they have tasted Bai Yu's cooking skills in the end, except for the amazing at the beginning, they have been very calm in the back, and Xue Ziyi and Xue are different, in addition to seeing Bai Yu make tofu, they don't know how good Bai Yu is at cooking, looking at the table of dishes in front of them at this moment, the two of them almost didn't stare out.

"Sister-in-law, it's so delicious, is this tofu......?

Xue Ziyi eats mapo tofu, the tofu is tender, and there are some numbness, the taste is simply too good, since they can make tofu, the way to eat tofu is to cook, I think it is already delicious, but after eating mapo tofu, I suddenly feel that the boiled tofu is too unpalatable, and there is no taste at all.

Hearing this, Bai Yu nodded, Xue Ziyi wanted to ask again when he saw this, but found that everyone was burying their heads in eating, and the movements of their hands were staggering, so they immediately stopped talking and joined the army of grabbing vegetables.

After the last bite of food on the table was snatched up, everyone put down the chopsticks in their hands.

"It's so supportive, oops, my stomach hurts. As soon as Xue Ziyi put down the dishes and chopsticks, he stood up from the stool, and while talking, he slowly walked against the wall to eat.

She felt that this was the most delicious reunion dinner she had ever eaten, and these dishes were not only delicious, but also so beautiful to look at.

Although the few people on the side did not walk against the wall like Xue Ziyi, they all stood up from their stools.

I really can't sit anymore, it's too much to sit, and if I don't get up and walk, I'm afraid I'm going to vomit.

Bai Yu couldn't help but smile when he looked at Xue Ziyi who was eating against the wall and everyone who was eating, there was nothing more satisfying than the food he made being eaten cleanly.

When everyone had almost digested it, Shopkeeper Zhang asked Ji Linyuan for a pen and paper and wrote a contract, to the effect that Bai Yu would buy shares in the dish and give Bai Yu two percent of the shares of Shengcai Restaurant.

Due to the limited quantity of tofu, she didn't give mapo tofu recipes, and directly wrote a recipe for hot and sour shredded pork and salt-and-pepper pork ribs to him.

Seeing Bai Yu say this, Shopkeeper Zhang had no choice but to give up.

After doing this series of things, the carriage of the restaurant came to pick up the shopkeeper, said goodbye to the shopkeeper, and Xue Hanyu and the others also went home.

Ji Linyuan's heart was still panicked, and he didn't know how to face Bai Yu, so he simply hid in the room.

Bai Yu looked inexplicable, and couldn't help sighing, saying that women's hearts are needles, and men's hearts are not panicked.

It was awkward until the evening, and Ji Linyuan finally didn't hold back.

"Sister-in-law. ”

Bai Yu was cooking, and after hearing Ji Linyuan's voice coldly, she raised her eyebrows and snorted lightly, and glanced at him: "What, don't you mess with me?" Although she didn't know what kind of character he was messing with.

Ji Linyuan was asked by Bai Yu like this, and he couldn't help but blush slightly, and looked at Bai Yu in his eyes: "I don't have it." ”

"Yes, yes, you don't, eat. Bai Yu didn't poke him either, after all, today's children also need face.

In the evening, Bai Yu handed the crooked and twisted lucky bag he bought and embroidered to Ji Linyuan: "Happy New Year." ”

Ji Linyuan was stunned when he saw this, took the lucky bag over, and took a lucky bag out of his arms and handed it to Bai Yu: "Sister-in-law, Happy New Year." ”

Bai Yu assured that there was never a moment of such annoyance as now, looking at the words embroidered like earthworms, and the blessing bag handed over by Ji Linyuan, the blessing words on it seemed to be written on the blessing bag, and he suddenly wanted to find a hole to drill into.

Who stipulated it, the New Year's lucky bag should be embroidered by herself, and she can't buy it, and at this moment she can't wait to greet that person's eight generations of ancestors.

Ji Linyuan looked at Bai Yu with a loveless look, couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, and put the lucky bag that Bai Yu gave him in his arms: "The lucky bag embroidered by my sister-in-law, I like it very much." "Yes, it was something given to him by his sister-in-law, and he liked everything.

It's okay not to mention this, but when he mentioned it, Bai Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes, put the blessing bag Ji Linyuan gave him into his arms, and turned around and went back to the room.

The leisurely days passed quickly, but in the blink of an eye, the entire New Year passed, Ji Linyuan and they should go to the academy to study, Bai Yu packed up the things at home, said to Widow Zhang, and the two went to the town in an ox cart.

"Alas, the little lady is here, please inside, please inside. ”

As soon as Bai Yu walked to the Shengcai Restaurant, he could watch the Shengcai Restaurant full of people and guests from a distance, and as soon as he walked to the door, Xiao Er greeted him with sharp eyes, and looked at Bai Yu's eyes full of admiration.

The little lady is now his idol, and he can make so many delicious dishes, and now the business of the restaurant is full every day, and he is so busy that he is about to fly, and finally he doesn't have to be unemployed.

Bai Yu glanced at the business that was full of business, and nodded at Xiao Er with a smile.

"Is the shopkeeper here? I'm looking for something with him. ”

Xiao Er heard that he was here to find the shopkeeper, and quickly nodded: "The shopkeeper is inside, little lady, please." ”

While talking, another guest came, and Xiao Er didn't take Bai Yu to find the shopkeeper, but turned around to greet the guest.

The shopkeeper looked at the restaurant in front of him, and he was happy, the restaurant in the town, now their family is really the only one.

While thinking about it, I saw a small figure walking over, followed by a young man in a long robe, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

"Yu'er is here, but what's the matter?"

"Shopkeeper, I'm here to tell you, I'm going to the county seat, if you want to find me, come to the county seat to find me. ”

After all, he is his partner, and if he wants to leave, he must always talk to someone, in case he has something to do with her, he will not be able to find anyone at that time.

When Shopkeeper Zhang heard that Bai Yu was going to the county seat, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, why did he have to go to the county seat when he lived well in the town.

Seeing the puzzled look on the shopkeeper Zhang's face, Bai Yu couldn't help but smile and glanced at Ji Linyuan behind him: "Lin Yuan is going to study in the academy, and I am a little worried that he is still alone in the academy." ”

And of course, make money by the way.

After Shopkeeper Zhang stopped Bai Yu's words, he couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.

He's still young, are you younger than him?

However, the shopkeeper Zhang didn't say this, Bai Yu's maintenance of Ji Linyuan, he saw it in his eyes, and besides, except for his age, Bai Yu did not act like a child.

After thinking about it, he took a silver ticket of fifty taels from the counter and handed it to Bai Yu.

"This month's profit has not been calculated yet, and it costs a lot to the county, so you take it first, and then you will send it to the county seat after the account is settled. "Shopkeeper Zhang is also thoughtful, and there are more places to spend money in the county.

Seeing this, Bai Yu glanced at the silver ticket: "Is the capital turnover of the restaurant coming?" If the turnover comes, it is naturally best to bring more silver with her, but she also knows that the better the business of the restaurant, the more ingredients are needed, and the capital is naturally very important.

"Don't worry, you have enough money to work around. Hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhang stuffed the silver ticket into Bai Yu's hand.

Seeing that the shopkeeper said this, Bai Yu didn't refuse anymore, and put away the silver ticket: "Thank you from the shopkeeper, but you don't need to send me the silver for the monthly accounting, I still have it myself, plus these fifty taels, it's enough, let's settle the account once a year." ”

She didn't believe that she could start a business with twenty cents, and with these fifty taels of silver, she couldn't let herself live a good life.

After thinking about saying goodbye to the shopkeeper, he saw Xue Hanyu waiting there from a distance, and he was still followed by Xue Shi and Xue Ziyi.

"Big brother, don't copy books anymore, my mother and I can earn money, you take good care of yourself in the academy." ”

Xue Ziyi saw Bai Yu and them coming, and grabbed Xue Hanyu's sleeves and chattered, and when the Xue family on the side saw this, he couldn't help but reach out and pat Xue Ziyi's back: "Okay, your eldest brother is such an adult, he knows the measure, but it's you, I'm not doing much, you're a sister like me." ”

Xue Ziyi was said by her, and immediately stopped doing it, they had worked too hard before, every day when they opened their eyes, what they thought about was what to eat that day, although they cared about the eldest brother, but she couldn't think more about it, but now it was different, their lives were much better, and she suddenly worried about other things.

Xue Hanyu looked at Xue Ziyi and Xue Shi, who were speaking, and smiled at the two: "Got it, little sister, mother, don't worry." ”

While talking, Bai Yu and Ji Linyuan came over, and after the three of them said goodbye to the Xue family, they went to the county seat in a carriage.

county town

Zhang Ziheng stood at the gate of the city and looked forward to it, and the little guy next to him saw that his son-in-law was waiting at the gate of the city early, and he didn't know who to wait for, so he stepped forward to persuade him a few times, scolded Zhang Ziheng a few times, and now he didn't dare to persuade him.

Zhang Ziheng's heart is anxious.

He remembered that Lin Yuan said that he would bring his sister-in-law to the county seat at the beginning of the year, and today was the day of the opening of the academy, and he came at the city gate early in the morning to wait.

To say that this year, Zhang Ziheng felt that he was very bad, he used to live like this every year, and the food at home was the same, and he didn't feel anything, but this year, since he ate the food made by Bai Yu, what he ate was not fragrant, but he didn't eat well during the New Year.

Originally, I wanted to go to Ji Linyuan's house for the New Year, but there were many guests at home, and he couldn't leave his father, so he finally stayed up until the beginning of the year, and now he is waiting for his sister-in-law to come quickly, so that he can cook a delicious meal.

Bai Yu and the others sat in the carriage, and they saw Zhang Ziheng who couldn't stop looking at the city gate from a distance, Ji Linyuan and Xue Hanyu couldn't help but support their foreheads when they saw this, no matter how difficult it was, they couldn't resist Ziheng's enthusiasm for eating.

"Oh, sister-in-law, you are finally here, and I am about to see through this city gate. ”

As soon as Zhang Ziheng saw Bai Yu and Ji Linyuan, he stopped the carriage without saying a word, climbed up quickly, and looked at Bai Yu with burning eyes.

Seeing this, the little guy on the side was about to speak, but Zhang Ziheng glared back: "Why are you still stunned, go back and go back, this young master is going to the academy." ”

Saying that, he didn't care about his own servant and carriage, and ran directly with Bai Yu and them.

"I said, Ziheng, you look at me like this, is there a flower on my face or what?" On the carriage, Bai Yu couldn't stand showing Zhang Ziheng, and couldn't help asking.

When Zhang Ziheng heard this, he shook his head: "No, I saw food on my sister-in-law's face." ”

Bai Yu: "......"

"You want to eat something delicious, and when I settle down, I'll give you something delicious, but I'm afraid I can't do it now, I haven't even found a place to live." ”

But isn't it, I just arrived in the county, and I didn't even find a place to live, I'm afraid that there is only a guest house today, but I don't want her words to be embarrassing, Zhang Ziheng on the side suddenly laughed.

"Sister-in-law, let's make something for me later. ”

"I've already found the house where my sister-in-law lives. "Zhang Ziheng has been very anxious recently, when he thought that Bai Yu was going to come to the county seat, where did he seem to live, so he hurriedly looked for a house.

Ji Linyuan, who was on the side, couldn't help but have a slight glint in his eyes when he heard this, and hooked the corners of his mouth.

Bai Yu was originally thinking about staying at the guest house, but when he heard that Zhang Ziheng had found a house, he couldn't help but be a little confused: "That, is it suitable for business?"

After a long time, she asked such a sentence, she came to the county seat to make money, but not to live in peace.

When Zhang Ziheng heard this, he stretched out his hand and patted his chest: "Naturally, you can do business, sister-in-law, you can rest assured." ”

As he spoke, he gave the coachman a place name, and the coachman drove the carriage there.
