Chapter 93

In the past few days, many rich people in the town have come to eat their tofu and bean cakes. They will not be surprised when they see well-dressed guests, and they will soon serve them tofu and bean cakes.

The rich-faced guest ate very carefully. He had to savor each bite for a while. He also opened the package of seasonings, dipped a little of it with his fingers, put it in his mouth, and tasted it carefully.

After a while, he said to the shrewd guest: "The taste is delicious, don't rush, it's this taste."

These two are the shopkeeper Zeng and Chef Li of Fuguilou in the town. The business of Gu's tofu stall is booming. They knew about it on the day of the Lantern Festival, but they only thought that it was a slut in the countryside, and it was not enough to be elegant. It didn't matter.

But after the Lantern Festival, the business of this tofu stall is still very good, and many customers have specially bought the fried spiced tofu and bean cakes from the tofu stall to eat at their Fuguilou.

That smell, they could smell it from far away.

Shopkeeper Zeng asked the guys at Fugui Building to buy some pan-fried spiced tofu, bean cakes, and a few packets of seasonings.

But the strange thing is that Chef Li has been preparing it for more than ten days, but he has never been able to match the taste of Gu's family seasonings.

Aunt Tian saw that the two were eating carefully, and they were lowering their heads and muttering something. She was very worried, thinking that they had spoiled the taste of the tofu and bean cakes.

Just as he was worried, the shrewd middle-aged man raised his head and glanced at them, finally looked at the third grandfather, waved to him, and motioned for him to come over.

The third grandpa walked over and asked with a smile, "What's the matter with the guests?"

Shopkeeper Zeng was also unambiguous, and said directly: "Your tofu, bean cakes, and seasonings are not bad. We are willing to pay 30 taels of silver for this recipe. What do you think?"

"Nothing." Gu Jinli said: "This is a secret method passed down by our ancestors, and we will not sell it at all. If we sell it, our ancestors will blame us unworthy descendants."

You want to buy her three recipes for 30 taels of silver. Are you kidding me?

For half a month when they set up a stall, they could earn at least three taels of silver every day, and at most six taels of silver.Now this tofu stall has earned more than 30 taels. These two want to buy their recipes for 30 taels, and they will only sell them if they are stupid.

When shopkeeper Zeng heard Gu Jinli's words, his face sank, and he asked the third grandfather with a sneer, "Your family is headed by children?" Are all the adults dead?

The third grandpa said simply: "Xiaoyu can indeed be the owner of this tofu stall."

These tofu bean cakes and seasonings are all made by small fish, so naturally she has the final say.

The shopkeeper Zeng choked, he didn't expect the third grandfather to say this, his face was ashen with anger.

Chef Li was afraid that the shopkeeper Zeng would break things up, so he hurriedly said with a smile: "Don't mind, old man, our shopkeeper has such a temper."

He added, "We really want to buy your recipe. If we don't think the price is right, we can talk about it again."

This tofu is a fresh food he has never seen before. If they can get the recipe, they will definitely make a lot of money in Fuguilou.

But the third grandfather still said: "This is our family's livelihood, and we won't sell it."

Chef Li frowned when he heard this, but his temper was better than that of shopkeeper Zeng. Instead of getting angry, he pushed shopkeeper Zeng and motioned for him to increase the price.

Shopkeeper Zeng said: "40 taels of silver, how about buying your three recipes for 40 taels of silver? You can buy land."

He looked at the third grandfather, and said in a neutral tone: "This business is not so easy to do, and farmers should still farm the land honestly."

The third grandfather and Gu Jinli frowned upon hearing this, which means that the shopkeeper Zeng also checked them.

Gu Jinli said simply: "We won't sell it if you offer 100 taels."

She pointed to the iron plate for frying tofu: "This is the way to do it, you can see it at a glance. If you want to sell this dish, you can buy white tofu and spices from us and go back to make it. You can still make this dish and save trouble. ."

This is indeed a way, but what they want in Fuguilou is to eat this fresh food alone, where would they want to listen to Gu Jinli?

The shopkeeper Zeng couldn't talk to each other, he stood up with an ugly face, and said: "If that's the case, you can keep this broken recipe, but..." He sneered a few times: "Can you continue to do business, just It's up to God if he appreciates it or not!"

After saying harsh words, the shopkeeper Zeng took Chef Li away, and before leaving, he swept the unfinished tofu and bean cakes on the table to the ground, frightening Chu and Aunt Tian. pass them.

Father Luo was very angry, but he couldn't run up and beat people.

The third grandpa frowned, and after the shopkeeper Zeng and Chef Li left, he immediately took Gu Jinli to Xuanhufang again to ask about the shopkeeper Zeng.

After listening to Old Doctor Wu, he frowned and said, "Zeng Da went to find you?"

The third grandfather nodded: "Well, he wants to buy our recipe. If we don't sell it, he will swear, probably because he wants our stall to stop."

The old doctor Wu sighed: "This is troublesome, that Zeng Da is the slave of the Zouxian Chancellor's family, helping the County Chancellor to manage the business of Fuguilou, and he is very powerful in Qingfu Town."

Gu Jinli frowned, and it was the county magistrate again: "What is the origin of this Zouxian magistrate's family, and why is there anything about his family?"

The daughter of Mr. Lu from Dafeng Village is married to the county magistrate as a concubine. The owner of Fuguilou is also the county magistrate's family. Does the county magistrate's influence spread throughout Tianfu County?

The old doctor Wu said: "Zouxian's family is a big family in Tianfu County. They have lived in Tianfu County for generations. They are considered as a local snake in Tianfu County. The county magistrate must give Zouxian's family face."

After all, the county magistrate is changed every three years, but the county magistrate is an assistant.

After listening to the words of the old doctor Wu, the third grandfather was very frightened, and asked quickly, "What should we do? This Zouxian family will not come to snatch our recipe, right?"

If they really come to grab it, they can't protect it at all, and if they don't make it, they will kill several families.

Oh shit!

Gu Jinli cursed in his heart and greeted the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the Zouxian family. There was a murderous look in his eyes. Then the Zouxian family had better not hit her with the idea of ​​​​tofu recipes, otherwise, she wouldn't mind cutting it. he.

She had seen a lot of blood in her previous life, and there was no shortage of this drop from Zou Xiancheng.

And the old man of the Lu family, who was in a hurry, she made some poison to make his family go to bliss!

Facing the sad face of the third grandfather, the old doctor Wu had no good idea for a while, so he could only persuade him: "Don't worry first, everyone in this town knows your relationship with our Xuanhufang, then Zeng Da dare not be too Brazenly, you relax and go back first."

The third grandpa knew that they had already troubled Old Doctor Wu a lot, so he was embarrassed to trouble him again. Hearing this, he could only take Gu Jinli back first.
