Reborn peasant girl: I became rich overnight by traveling to sea

Chapter 15 Did you marry into the Guo family this time?
Chang Pingning, who was working in the back kitchen of the restaurant, heard Chef Wang's question and was about to ask what problem he encountered.Then he felt his mother-in-law squeeze his hand.

"Now that Chef Wang has asked, people in our village don't want to hide their secrets. We are lucky to be favored by the chef from Cyclamen. Can we talk about the price of sea urchins from Cyclamen?" Ye Xiuying said slowly. He said slowly, "Otherwise, if the cyclamen comes to ask today, we will give it to you, but if another cook comes to ask in a few days, will we give it to you?"

Chang Pingning noticed that Chef Wang's expression changed and forced a smile.

"I wonder how Aunt Guo plans to sell sea urchins? And what's the recipe for your 'sea urchin fried rice'?" Chef Wang's eyes fell on Chang Pingning.

"Chef Wang, don't be angry. I just think that since we country folk can think of how to make sea urchin fried rice, if other chefs in your town have eaten it, it will not be difficult to figure out how to make it." Ye Xiuying reassured, "So Cyclamen’s sea urchin fried rice needs to be sold as soon as possible. Do you think this is true?”

After listening to Ye Xiuying's words, Chef Wang nodded: "The recipe is fifty cents, and you are not allowed to sell it to others. You decide the price of the sea urchin."

Chang Pingning didn't show an obvious smile after listening to Chef Wang's words.She knew the price of the fifty-wen recipe, and it was more to prevent them from selling the recipe to other restaurants.After all, Chef Wang has already figured out the recipe.

"Chef Wang gave a good price." Ye Xiuying smiled clearly on her face, and it was more of a flattery. "If you have enough time, you will definitely be able to find ways to improve it yourself. You don't need my daughter-in-law's recipe."

"As for the price of sea urchins, I went to the wet market yesterday and asked. Yesterday's sea urchins were already sold for five cents each. Why don't we just pay this price?"

Chef Wang was surprised when he heard Aunt Guo's words. He thought he was just an unsophisticated country boy who might be able to talk like a lion, but he didn't expect that he was actually very decent in what he said and did.

"Then it's five cents each. From now on, any seafood you two bring to town can be sent to Cyclamen." Chef Wang waved to the errand boy beside him, "Bring the paper and pen to Mrs. Guo."

Ye Xiuying didn't expect that Chef Wang would have such a generous side, and was a little surprised: "Will all the seafood be sent to Cyclamen in the future? Do you need to tell the shopkeeper?"

"It's okay, the shopkeeper is my eldest brother." Chef Wang thought for a moment, knowing that what he just said was too full, and added, "Sea urchins are in short supply recently, we can take as much as we can. But other seafood, not so much lately need."

Ye Xiuying nodded in agreement.

Chang Pingning was secretly calculating how much the sea urchin they brought today could be sold for when she saw the errand boy bringing a pen and paper and asked her to write down the recipe.

Chang Pingning hesitantly took the paper and pen, wrote down the steps for making sea urchin fried rice, and asked: "Do you need me to make it again in front of Chef Wang?"

After hearing this, Chef Wang originally planned to go to his elder brother to get the money. When he heard this, he called an errand boy and asked the shopkeeper to come over with the money.

"The Guo family's handwriting is very good." Chef Wang picked up the paper with the recipes on the table and read it, "This is the stove."

Hearing Chef Wang's words of praise for himself, Chang Pingning paused and said nothing.

This word was something she learned from a female teacher in her previous life in order to have something in common with Dong Xiuyuan, who became the county magistrate.

Chang Pingning made a sea urchin fried rice in front of Chef Wang.She noticed that sometimes, Chef Wang would mutter something to himself next to him. The fire on the stove was so high that she couldn't hear the specific content. Occasionally, she heard words such as "Don't put the minced ginger", which made her feel like he was talking to himself. The chef figured out how to solve the problem he encountered while making this dish.

Remove from pan and plate.The aroma of sea urchin fried rice attracted compliments from Chef Wang and another person.

Chang Pingning guessed that this might be the shopkeeper of Cyclamen.Sure enough, Chang Pingning saw Chef Wang handing the first bite to the shopkeeper, and the two of them were full of praise after eating.After eating, the shopkeeper of Cyclamen handed a money bag to Ye Xiuying.Ye Xiuying counted the money, and there was no problem.

The two drove the donkey cart away from Cyclamen and headed towards the vegetable market.

Far away, Chang Pingning saw Guo Zhongzhou waiting at the entrance of the market, with two empty buckets next to him and a bright smile.At first glance, it was obvious that both barrels were sold at a good price at the market.After returning to the village, Chang Pingning and Ye Xiuying got off the car near Guo's house, and Guo Zhongzhou drove the donkey cart directly to the village chief's house.

Chang Pingning noticed that many women in the village were carrying wooden buckets, either walking towards the beach or returning with half a bucket of seafood.

Ye Xiuying called to an older girl she knew well: "Sister Qiuhong, why are you going to the beach at this time? The tide hasn't gone out yet."

"I heard that 'that house' started collecting seafood again today." Aunt Qiuhong next door pointedly looked at the big house in the distance. "They said that their family is planning to hold a seafood banquet for guests. Pay now Please go catch the sea. If you ask me, if there is anything delicious about seafood, why don’t you just give us money.”

"Qiu Hong, what you said is wrong. If you want to eat, why don't you invite me? I heard that you are going to entertain the famous people in the town, as well as the patriarch of our old Guo family and the village chief." Aunt Li, who was passing by, joined the conversation.

"Has the village chief's attitude towards them changed?" Ye Xiuying wondered. She and her daughter-in-law had only been out for half a day.

"I think so. We plan to keep this family in the village." Aunt Qiuhong responded.

"That's for sure. They have invited the clan leaders, and I heard there is also a county magistrate." Aunt Li answered.

Chang Pingning saw that his mother-in-law exchanged a look with him after hearing this, making him silent.Chang Pingning heard from the sidelines that because the Liu family was preparing for a seafood banquet, they had started testing dishes in the past few days and purchased a large amount of seafood. The price was similar to that in the town.

People in Guojiacun all know that seafood can be picked up on the beach, and some go to the beach early in the morning to pick up seafood.However, more elderly people know how to calculate the rise and fall of the tide and plan to wait until the tide goes out before going to the beach.

When Ye Xiuying returned to Guo's yard, she told several children that during this period, they would not only pick up sea urchins, but also some larger seafood.It sounds like the Liu family is still unaware that the price of sea urchins has increased.

At low tide in the evening, there were many more people on the beach than usual.

Led by Ye Xiuying, the Guo family left the beach before the tide rose.Chang Pingning was taken to Liu's house by Ye Xiuying, and Guo Dayong returned home with several children and several buckets of sea urchins.

There was a long queue of people delivering food in front of Liu's house.

Chang Pingning noticed that there were two people at the front of the team.When she saw the two people, one was Manager Liu and the other was Meng Xia, her palms began to sweat.

The team reached Chang Pingning and Ye Xiuying.

Chang Ping was unwilling and did not dare to look directly at Meng Xia, but unexpectedly he heard Meng Xia's voice.

"Did you marry into the Guo family this time?" It sounded like the two of them had a very close relationship.

But these words made Chang Pingning wonder: Could it be that Meng Xia was also reborn?Meng Xia also remembers what happened in his previous life?
"What are you talking about, girl?" Ye Xiuying also heard it and was very angry. It sounded like she was slandering Chang Pingning for having been married before.

"Sorry, aunt, I recognized the wrong person." Meng Xia quickly apologized, "I thought it was a sister I met in the medical clinic before."

Chang Pingning and Ye Xiuying left Liu's house after getting the money for selling seafood from Manager Liu. Chang Pingning couldn't help but look back at Meng Xia.

She met Meng Xia's gaze, and Meng Xia smiled friendly at her.
