I become a sage by eating books

Chapter 19 The Shopkeeper's Visiting Goods Business Opportunity

Soon the entire Ning's small courtyard was filled with aromas, and even Xu Guanshi, who was used to eating all kinds of delicacies, was attracted by the aroma.When the delicious food was served on the table, Guanshi Xu was even more amazed.

There are several kinds of dishes made with bean sprouts alone, such as fried bean sprouts, cold bean sprouts, bean sprouts with minced meat, and bean sprouts with crucian carp soup.Others include braised pork, pork ribs with sauce, double-cooked pork, salt-fried pork, pickled fish, yam stewed chicken soup, and vinegared Chinese cabbage. There are ten dishes in total, and a large table is full.

There were outsiders today, so neither the women nor the children came to the table, and everyone was not upset. In fact, everyone in the Ning family had vaguely guessed that Ning An must have important matters to discuss with Manager Xu.Even Ning Tianshuang, who has always been clingy to Ning An, obediently stayed in Hu's arms and never ran around again.

"Master Xu, please try our food to see if it suits your taste."

Looking at the food on the table, Manager Xu was taken aback, wondering what method was used to make this dish?Why hasn't he seen these dishes?No matter, as the steward of a restaurant, of course he has to taste the new dishes.If the taste is okay, he can buy the recipe back or invite someone back to be the chef directly.

After he tasted them one by one, he was amazed by the taste: "It's wonderful, it's really wonderful. I don't know who made these dishes. It's just like the royal chef in the palace!"

Ning Yong was very proud when he saw Miao being praised by the owner of a restaurant, "It was done by my wife, but she did it casually according to the method Wu Lang said, which made Manager Xu laugh."

Manager Xu became interested. In this era, men generally do not enter the kitchen unless they are professional chefs. "Why is Brother Ning also interested in cooking?"

Ning An smiled, not paying any attention to Guan Shi's teasing. "Guan Xu is just joking. Xiaosheng doesn't have that talent. It's just that he likes to study recipes on weekdays. If he starts to do it, he can't compare to my sister-in-law."

Manager Xu laughed loudly, "Brother Ning is being modest. If the chefs in my Ruyi Building can research and develop new recipes like Brother Ning, then I will be relieved. Brother Ning, you don't know, It’s been a long time since our Ruyi Building has launched a new dish, and the guests are getting tired of eating it. Now the number of customers is no longer what it used to be, so I’m really anxious! I wonder if the cooperation you mentioned last time is still counted?”

Ning An stood up, "Guan Xu is getting serious, of course what Xiaosheng said counts, and I'll write you the recipe for growing bean sprouts."

Manager Xu was a little anxious, he wondered if Ning An had misunderstood him.Although bean sprouts recipes are important, these fresh recipes are even more important.They can't just sell bean sprouts every day in their store.

"Brother Ning, I know you are a sensible person, let's put it bluntly, I don't just want your bean sprout recipe, I also want your fresh dishes."

Hearing Guanshi Xu's voice, Ning An secretly laughed in his heart. Unexpectedly, Guanshi Xu is quite humorous, selling bean sprouts every day, thanks to him, he figured it out.

Ning An made a troubled expression, "Mr. Xu, didn't we agree in advance to use the bean sprouts recipe to pay the 20 taels of silver owed by Xiaosheng? Why did you talk about the recipe? You This is difficult for Xiaosheng, as you can see, my sister-in-law's craftsmanship is not bad, we are planning to set up a small shop in the county town?"

When Ning Hai heard it, he was almost not caught by the fishbone. He coughed twice, and quickly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Xu Guanshi was still in his own thoughts, and he didn't notice Ning Hai's faux pas.

The Ning family also wants to go to the county to open a shop, no, absolutely not, no matter what, he has to get the recipes today, he can't let Ruyilou add a strong opponent.

"Brother Ning, everyone is a straightforward person. Just tell me how you can give me these recipes. As long as it's not too much, I'll pay any money."

Ning An pretended to be stunned, and then said: "Who said I only have these dishes, I have developed a lot more, you can come to my house every day, Manager Xu, I guarantee you 360 days a year, every day will not repeat the same!"

Ning An was very proud, Xiao Mian, seeing that you haven't taken the bait yet, I'm sure you'll be satisfied with Ruyilou.

Manager Xu was shocked: "Brother Ning, what you said is serious, have you really developed so many prescriptions?"

"Why did Xiaosheng lie to you? Although Xiaosheng is not talented, he also knows that cheating is a villain's behavior. I, Ning An, don't bother with it!"

Manager Xu looked at Ning An's expression, and he didn't seem to be lying like that.If that's the case, the situation in Ruyilou will be even worse. Just a Fengmanlou will give him a headache, and it will be even more difficult to deal with another Ning's family.

"Brother Ning, you and I are predestined, old brother sincerely begs you, sell me the recipe!"

Ning An thought for a while, then raised four fingers.Manager Xu didn't understand what he meant for a moment, "Brother Ning, do you mean 40 taels?"

Ning Hai coughed violently again... 40 taels, this kid really dares to speak.

"Guan Xu was joking. If we open a restaurant in the county town, we can earn money and then open a branch, and open it in Fucheng. If we open it in the capital city, or even open it all over Dayong, we can earn more than 40 taels for a dish." Ning An said.

"That's 400 taels?" Manager Xu asked uncertainly! 400 taels a prescription, a bit beyond his budget.

Ninghai...

"Guan Xu misunderstood, I said [-]%, [-]% of the profits of all recipes. If Ruyilou can accept this condition, then I will continue to provide you with new recipes." Ning An said.

Manager Xu thought for a moment and said: "Brother Ning, this matter is too important and is no longer within the scope of my authority. I'd better go back and ask our boss for instructions before discussing with you!"

"Of course you can. Don't worry about this matter. After all, our family only has this plan. You can discuss it with the boss slowly before taking action!"

"Alright then, Brother Ning, I will take my leave today." Manager Xu couldn't wait to go back now.

Ning An didn't hold back and said to Ning Lei, "Okay, Guanshi Xu, go slowly. Second brother, please go and get half a catty of scented tea, and let Guanshi take it back with you to taste slowly."

Ning Lei is very happy with things like running errands, "Okay, second brother will go right away."

Manager Xu cupped his hands at Ning An, "Thank you Brother Ning, farewell!"

After sending off Xu Guan, Ning An was about to go back to her room, but Ning Hai followed her, staring at her with a pair of eyes.

Ning An felt uncomfortable being stared at by Ning Hai, "Father, what's the matter?"

Ning Hai said to Ning An without restraining his gaze, "When are we going to open a shop in the county town? I don't know."

"I just planned it!" Ning An smiled, and she couldn't do anything about this eccentric father.

Ning Hai thought for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing, "My boy, you are trying to be a white wolf!"

"Father, what is an empty-handed white wolf? It's just that everyone gets what they want!" Ning An smiled like a little fox.

Ning Hai understood what Ning An meant, when did Ning An have so many thoughts.

"Yes, yes, everyone takes what they need. Tell me, will the boss agree?"

"He will agree." Ning An said firmly, it doesn't matter even if he doesn't agree, the big deal is to find other people to cooperate, there will always be someone who will agree.

Inside the Ruyi Building, Manager Xu was talking to a man about what happened at Ning's house today.

The man was about thirty years old, with a slender figure and a handsome appearance. He was wearing a gold brocade suit and a half-moon-shaped jade pendant on his waist. He looked very noble. He was the owner of Ruyi Building, Xu Zhijin.

"What Uncle Xu said is true. There really are such capable people in the world."
