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

Chapter 20 Selling recipes alone
The door of Liuzhai.

Chang Pingning was alone at the door waiting for Manager Liu to open the door. Not long after waiting, three other ladies of the same age appeared one after another.

Chang Pingning saw one of them and thought he looked familiar, so he took the initiative to say hello: "If I'm not mistaken, she is Aunt Qiuhong's... daughter?"

The young lady opposite shook her braids behind her, and her laughter was almost the same as that of Aunt Qiu Hong: "Haha, I really look so much like my mother? Can even my sister-in-law, who has never met her before, recognize her?"

"Your eyes and eyebrows are almost the same as Aunt Qiuhong's." Chang Pingning smiled friendly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a disdainful laughter came from beside him.

Chang Pingning turned around and saw a woman with a mocking expression looking in their direction.

"I'm Ruilan, and you must be Sister-in-law Ning from Aunt Xiuying's family." Ruilan didn't seem to hear the sarcastic laughter, and kept talking to Chang Pingning, "I don't know when this family can let us Get in."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the closed courtyard door of Liu Mansion in front of him.

Chang Pingning looked at the people around him. Counting her, there were only four.She remembered the "five people" the village chief had mentioned the day before, and asked Ruilan in a low voice if she knew which person was missing.

Before Ruilan could answer, the Liu family's courtyard door was banged.

"The Liu family opened the door quickly. They called people over early in the morning. Are you trying to sneak them out?"

Chang Pingning saw that the person knocking on the door was her sister-in-law who had just laughed disdainfully. She looked at Ruilan in confusion, and Ruilan winked at her, indicating that she should ignore it.

The sound of knocking on the door was too loud. Manager Liu quickly came to open the door and kept saying apologetic words.However, it still caused low-pitched complaints. People in the village did not get up so late. At this time, they were already selling seafood at the port, or going home to clean the seafood brought back from the sea.

Even Chang Pingning had a vague complaint in her heart. If she didn't come to Liuzhai, she and her mother-in-law would be in town soon at this time.Just because she was coming to Liuzhai today, her mother-in-law took her second brother to the town.

Manager Liu brought the four people to the kitchen and asked, "Excuse me, ladies of the Guo family, why are there only four of us and one more?"

Chang Pingning saw the other three people looking at each other, and finally the disdainful sister-in-law answered.

"Brother Shunwang didn't let my sister-in-law come. He said there was something going on at home. It's just the four of us. If there's anything you want to see, hurry up. I'm still waiting to go to the port to sell fish." There was obvious impatience in his tone.

"Since coming to our kitchen has delayed the serious business of the sisters-in-law, I don't dare to trouble the sisters-in-law. If the sisters-in-law have urgent matters at home, they can leave as soon as possible." Meng Xia said standing at the door.

Hearing the sound, Chang Pingning turned around and saw Miss Liu and Meng Xia standing at the door.

Manager Liu also saw Miss Liu at the door of the kitchen. After walking forward and saluting, he stood behind Miss Liu.

Meng Xia's voice and Manager Liu's departure made the four people standing in the room feel extremely oppressive.

After hearing Meng Xia's words, the sister-in-law who had spoken earlier snorted disdainfully, cupped her hands at them, and said she wanted to leave.

Seeing this, Meng Xia gave up his position at the kitchen door and walked to the remaining three people.

Chang Pingning felt Meng Xia's eyes linger on him for a while, but the speed was very fast, and it didn't seem to be there.

"Don't worry, there is still a chance to leave." Meng Xia said, "Everyone has heard that our Liu family's food is pretty good. Thanks to everyone in Guojiacun, the old man at home would like to treat everyone to a flowing feast. .

"But I can't cook for so many people by myself. So, I will hand over the dishes to you one by one..." When Meng Xia said this, he paused deliberately and looked at the three people in front of him again. Scanned over the body.

Chang Pingning felt her heart beating very fast: Meng Xia was going to teach them the recipe?

"But there are conditions. I need you to sign a contract. If you pass on the recipe, you need to compensate me. The first time I find out, the compensation is [-] yuan; the second time I find it, the compensation is [-] yuan; the third time..."

"Girl, I have a problem." Ruilan interrupted Meng Xia and saw her motioning for her to continue, "If we learn how to do it, will we have to pay for it when we go back to do it at home?"

Meng Xia smiled: "That's not necessary. What I'm saying is that you can make money elsewhere by relying on the recipes you learned from me, such as going to restaurants in the city or banquets in other villages. In these cases, you need to give me Compensation. Any more questions?”

When Chang Pingning listened, it felt more like Meng Xia wanted to benefit from it, but because he mentioned "compensation" at the beginning, and the amount of compensation was too high for the villagers, it sounded harsh.

"I...I also have something to do at home. I need to go back to do some work. I'm sorry." Another lady from Guojiacun also made a request to go back.

"Where are you two?" Meng Xia looked at the two remaining people in front of him, "Agree to sign a contract with the Liu Mansion?"

"I still have a question." Ruilan asked, "What you just said, if the compensation is to be paid, it will be [-] yuan for the first time and [-] yuan for the second time. If I go to other villages to hold wedding banquets, I will ask for [-] yuan. One hundred coins, do you still have one thousand coins left on your hands the first time, and five hundred coins left on your hands the second time?”

"That's right." Meng Xia said, "The third and subsequent times are one thousand coins. You use the skills you learned from me and you have to give me most of the money you make. Can you accept this request?"

"Girl, the banquet in the village only costs a few hundred coins, and the better ones only cost a thousand coins. You are asking for a bit too much." Rilan was obviously very interested in the new cooking skills, but she was very embarrassed.

Such an answer was within Meng Xia's expectation. She glanced at Miss Liu sitting aside with a subtle expression: "The Liu family doesn't want the food on their dining table to be on the dining tables of ordinary people so quickly. That's why the amount of compensation has been determined." Get high."

Chang Pingning looked at the hesitant Rui Lan, then at Meng Xia, who was confident of winning, and at the side, Miss Liu, who was looking a little nervous.

Chef Wang asked Chang Pingning to secretly learn the recipe, and Chang Pingning vaguely grasped some new ideas.But by the time she reacted, Rui Lan had already signed the contract.Manager Liu was holding another deed and looking at her.

"Do you have to sign a deed to do anything here?" Chang Pingning looked at Meng Xia with some embarrassment, "I may want to talk to Miss Meng alone about some matters."

"If you don't sign, you can only wash and cut vegetables, which costs fifty cents a day," Meng Xia said.

Fifty articles.

When Chang Pingning heard about the salary, his first reaction was that it was just ten sea urchins.Suddenly I understood why the two sisters-in-law looked down on the job of Liu Mansion's kitchen assistant.

"How about we talk first?" Chang Pingning did not give a definite answer.

Meng Xia glanced at Miss Liu and followed Chang Pingning out of the kitchen.

"Ms. Chang, what do you think about the recipe?" Meng Xia was surprised by Chang Pingning's attitude. Even when she was at Chang's house the day before, she still looked like she wished she could leave quickly.

"It's not me, it's Cyclamen." Chang Pingning said after careful consideration, "Recently, my mother-in-law and I have sent more seafood to Cyclamen. I heard that the chef and shopkeeper of the restaurant want some new seafood recipes. I wonder if Miss Meng and the Liu family are willing to sell the recipes alone?"

"What price are you willing to pay for Cyclamen?" Miss Liu's voice appeared behind her.
