Chapter 36: The Rich Fool
"Who! who, who likes to follow your ass? Miss Ben just happened to meet you!"
Of course, Wan Baobao refused to admit that she deliberately followed Zhang Xiaohua to this fish stall, she just wanted to come over and taunt this woman.
Zhang Xiaohua laughed at this moment, "Is there such a coincidence?"
"What's so strange about this, it's inexplicable. Wan Baobao snorted coldly and turned his head away, no longer looking at the people around him.
Zhang Xiaohua didn't pay attention to this woman who deliberately seemed to be awkward with herself, anyway, the two of them didn't know each other, so there was no need to talk nonsense.
Especially this woman, who still covets her husband, of course, can't be ignored.
"May I ask the boss, how much is this fish per catty?" Zhang Xiaohua said, pointing to the fish that swam the most happily in the wooden basin.
Seeing that business was coming, the boss happily came over and said, "Fifty wen a catty." ”
Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua seemed to want to buy it, the boss hurriedly praised a few words at this time, "This fish you fancy is more than five catties, this is the fish that was just caught this morning, the taste is fresh and tender, one or two silver." ”
"It's more than five catties...... Zhang Xiaohua hesitated at this time, after all, she had just bought some other meat, and she might not be able to eat five catties of fish when she bought it.
Wan Baobao, who was standing next to him, immediately became interested at this moment, looking at Zhang Xiaohua's hesitant look as if he had no money, so he immediately came over.
Wan Baobao's eyebrows fluttered and said, "Boss, give me this fish, and I will give you this tael of silver." ”
Zhang Xiaohua didn't expect to hesitate, and the person around her directly interjected, "I haven't said whether to buy it or not, why did you take the lead?"
"If you don't buy it yourself, of course other rich people will buy it. Wan Baobao looked very proud, ready to take out the silver from his purse.
Zhang Xiaohua looked at the person in front of her so proudly, and immediately understood that the other party really thought that she couldn't afford it.
"I'll pay two taels of silver for this fish!" Zhang Xiaohua immediately increased the price.
The boss who sold the fish was dumbfounded for a moment, "Huh?"
Wan Baobao looked at Zhang Xiaohua beside him with an incredible look, and hurriedly chased the price, "You actually dare to pay two taels of silver? Then I'll pay three taels!"
"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense to you, I asked for this fish for five taels of silver!"
Zhang Xiaohua took out her purse from her arms at this time, and then pretended to take out the silver, Wan Baobao, who was standing next to her, was anxious for a while, and then immediately shouted the price.
"I'll give you eight taels of silver!" Wan Baobao's face was flushed with anxiety at this moment, it was absolutely impossible for her to fall behind in front of the woman in front of her.
"Eight...... Eight taels?" the boss who sold the fish was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.
I didn't expect these two women to pay such a high price for this fish.
Zhang Xiaohua made a very surprised look, "You actually dare to give eight taels?"
Wan Baobao looked very arrogant, and he didn't bother to give Zhang Xiaohua his eyes at all.
"Hmph, eight taels of silver is nothing to me. ”
Zhang Xiaohua pretended to be very unwilling, "If I hadn't brought so much silver today, how would I have given this fish to you?"
Wan Baobao didn't seem to want to deal with Zhang Xiaohua at all at this time, and he died happily and threw the silver in his hand on the board, "The boss wrapped this fish, and I took it directly." ”
"Okay!" of course, the owner of the fish seller quickly put away the money, and then put the fish through the rope and handed it to Wan Baobao.
After getting the spoils of his victory, Wan Baobao walked to Zhang Xiaohua's side very arrogantly and snorted coldly, and left with the fish in a proud manner.
Looking at the back of the person who walked away, Zhang Xiaohua flattened her mouth, and couldn't help but complain, "Rich fool." ”
After buying a three-pound fish and putting it in a sack, Zhang Xiaohua took her son to prepare to go home.
The ox cart was parked on the edge of the town, so he was about to go home with his things, but after walking a few steps, he saw a familiar man squatting on the ground with a worried face.
"Childe?" Zhang Xiaohua stepped forward to confirm the person in front of her.
is indeed the young master who saved his son under the carriage before.
The man squatting on the ground looked up at the woman next to him, his face full of doubts, "Who are you?"
"You saved my son a few months ago under your coachman, and I still want to thank you for saving my son's life. ”
Zhang Xiaohua smiled slightly at the person in front of her.
And Xiao Tu Ling next to him directly let go of Zhang Xiaohua at this time, and ran over and hugged the man who was squatting on the ground.
"Brother!"
The man didn't remember what it was, but after seeing the little white ball in front of him, he had some impressions, "Oh...... It's you. ”
Zhang Xiaohua looked at this person who seemed to have a sad face, so she asked, "Why is Childe in a daze with the two pastries on the ground?"
"You can't help it. The man shook his head in frustration.
Zhang Xiaohua smiled slightly, "That's not necessarily, maybe after you say it, I can really help you solve it?"
At the beginning, I also learned all kinds of dim sum, not only Chinese and Western desserts, but also other flavors of pastries to fill my leisure time.
I still have some opinions on pastries.
"This pastry tastes average, no one comes to buy my food, and my shop is about to collapse. ”
When the man said this, his face became more and more heavy, and he felt very uncomfortable at the thought that the store he opened was going to close again.
Zhang Xiaohua stared at the two pastries on the ground, and it seemed that a lot of ingredients had been added, but in this way, various materials collided, resulting in a strange taste of the pastries, so they ate a bland taste.
"Sometimes you don't need to make something complicated, it's very simple, and it makes people feel good to eat. Zhang Xiaohua glanced at the person squatting on the ground seriously.
My name is Zhang Xiaohua, you can call me Zhang, this is my son Tu Ling. ”
"Qi Xun. Qi Xun got up from the ground and shook the dust off his clothes, his attitude was finally not so contemptuous.
"You seem to have a way?"
"It's not a good idea, but I still know a little bit about pastry making. ”
Zhang Xiaohua smiled, after all, she couldn't say that she had taken all kinds of certificates, and no one believed her when she said it.
"Then how do you want to help me?" Qi Xun finally had some hope in his eyes.
Zhang Xiaohua hesitated for a moment before she spoke, "Let's get something out and take a look at it first." ”
"Borrow Qi Gongzi's kitchen. ”
Zhang Xiaohua put down the things in her hand, and then took her son to the kitchen in the backyard.
This life-saving benefactor has not repaid his kindness before, so now it is his turn to help solve his urgent needs.
Zhang Xiaohua looked around at the simple materials in the kitchen, and after thinking about it, she didn't plan to do anything complicated, so she directly took out flour and eggs and started to mix noodles.
Qi Xun looked at the woman who was busy in the kitchen with a complicated face.
Can she really help me?
