Fertile land

Chapter 86

The two of them walked through the bumpy country road with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Li Sanmao felt quite uneasy all the way and had no intention of enjoying the fragrance of flowers and the singing of birds.

After looking at Luo Zhi'er, he hesitated to speak. When he arrived in the town, he passed a prosperous avenue and arrived at Yumanlou. Yumanlou had closed down!
The door seemed to be slightly ajar to wait for someone!
Luo Zhi'er stood at the door and knocked on the door. Li Sanmao looked at her nervously...

Luo Zhi'er seemed to see what he was thinking and gave him a comforting look!
Sure enough, after a while, the sound of trotting footsteps came from far and near, and his head poked out from behind the door.

The boy saw that the person coming was her, followed by a familiar man, carrying a basket on his back.

Chang Qing smiled brightly: "Oh, it's Madam Luo. I've finally come to you. Shopkeeper Zhu has been waiting for you for a long time. Come with me!"

"it is good!"

Luo Zhi'er asked Li Sanmao to give her the basket on his back, picked up his clothes and calmly followed Chang Qing in, while Li Sanmao stayed in the hall and waited!

She was taken to the office room on the second floor where she had been before.

As soon as she entered the door, Luo Zhi'er placed her backpack against the door wall. Shopkeeper Zhu was looking at today's account book and received her politely.

"Ms. Luo, thank you for running out so late!"

"Haha, if anything, thanks to shopkeeper Zhu, I, Luo Zhi'er, was able to escape and come to town to deliver goods..."

"Hey, it's a trivial matter. It's just a matter of a few words, no effort required!"

Shopkeeper Zhu put down the account book in his hand and waved his hand clearly!

It turned out that when signing the contract that day, Luo Zhi'er had vaguely mentioned that it would be difficult for her to deliver goods in the future. This difficulty was caused by her family members, who were referring to her mother-in-law Zhou.

Shopkeeper Zhu was naturally not stupid, so he just pushed the boat along. Today he was deliberately trying to embarrass her and scare her.

"Just don't say that the little kid scared her so much!"

Shopkeeper Zhu joked.

"Oh? What did Shopkeeper Zhu say?"

Luo Zhi'er was a little confused. After all, Zhou didn't usually have his head hanging down like this, in shock...

It seems like he was stimulated by something!

She didn't know that after his intimidation today, Mrs. Zhou probably wouldn't interfere in her business affairs!

It turns out that Mrs. Zhou didn’t notice it was her when she was standing outside the gate at first, so she made a mistake that cannot be recorded in historical data...

At that time, Mrs. Zhou was taken to the utility room in the backyard!
After she said that she was Luo Zhi'er's mother-in-law, she gained a little respect!
Shopkeeper Zhu usually seemed polite, gentle and easy to get along with. Seeing that his tone softened, he emboldened Mr. Zhou!
As soon as my mind got hot, I boldly spoke out the idea I just thought of!
She wants to unilaterally break the contract and increase the price.

The endless stream of customers just now made her eyes red, saying that Yumanlou got a big deal and deceived them!

Luo Zhi'er is stupid, but she is not stupid!
Shopkeeper Zhu suddenly changed his face, like the fury of thunder.

Ran nodded slightly and lowered his eyebrows for a moment, then went to the door and spoke softly. Mrs. Zhou still felt that he was thinking about it, and she was overjoyed that things had turned around!

Unexpectedly, several strong men with fierce looks rushed in suddenly.

The man in the lead had a big pimple on his face and a meat-chopping machete in his hand. He smiled evilly at her.
"We accept both black and white in Yumanlou. Otherwise, why do you think Yumanlou has been standing in Taoyuan Town for decades?"

"Of course you can break the contract, but what will happen if you break the contract at Yumanlou? Don't you know?"

"What?……"

"It's very simple! One thing needs to be left behind, and that thing is a random organ in the human body."

"Organ... organ?"

She thought it was a joke, and there was a "bang!" in front of her eyes, and a bag of things was thrown down!
When she opened it, she saw with her own eyes that the hemp cloth in front of her was a freshly chopped off finger. It was so bloody that she almost died of fright!

"You're lucky. We came across it today. This is the organ of a disobedient peddler today. You can try it!" "Don't try to run away. Your family, Li Depei's family in Zhaoli Village, has a total of four sons and one daughter. The youngest is My son’s name is Li Gui, and he’s studying at Donglin Academy in the town, right?”

"No!"

Zhou was so frightened that her heart stopped!

It’s no exaggeration to say that when I left Yumanlou, I crawled around and peed!

Her nightmare is that she never wants to come to this place again in her life...

Naturally, the dug fungus oil could no longer be eaten by the guests, so Madam Luo had to make a new jar and send it over.

When Luo Zhi'er heard what shopkeeper Zhu said, she couldn't help but admire, "It's tall, it's really tall!"
Ginger is still old and spicy, and evil people will be punished by evil people!
I thought she was just trying to get a reward, but she still dared to break the contract?Price increase?
"Haha, I didn't want to treat her like this. She's just an ignorant village woman. However, based on her years of experience, your mother-in-law is really difficult to deal with. She needs to get rid of the root cause and cut off her thoughts to avoid being tied up!"

"Shopkeeper Zhu, you did the right thing. I, Luo Zhi'er, am very grateful!"

"Haha! So, it's so late and I still have to bother Madam Luo to make this trip!"

"Shopkeeper Zhu, you don't have to be polite. This is what I should do. Since the ingredients have been contaminated, they must be replaced. I hope this matter will not affect Yumanlou!"

She was referring to the ingredients being seen and tasted at the gate!
"Fortunately! In fact, the impact should not be big. At that time, no one had any idea what the jar was. Your mother-in-law did not shout that she was here to deliver the fungus oil. The only mistake was the woman from your village. She tasted the smell and was afraid She goes back to research!”

Luo Zhi'er frowned.
"She looked suspicious at the time..."

"I didn't have any reaction at the time. I just said that this thing tastes terrible. You think your mother-in-law is greedy and cheated her. I'm afraid that she will be suspicious when she goes back and make a mess of this thing..."

"At that time, it will inevitably cause immeasurable losses to Yumanlou. You may not know that Yumanlou's business has gradually improved in the past few days, and there is an endless stream of diners every day. This is all thanks to Madam Luo's secret recipe and recipes. !”

"That's it, then I'm really happy for you!"

As good as they are, so is she!
This money gives me peace of mind!

"So, it may affect future business..."

Luo Zhi'er nodded,

"Shopkeeper Zhu, don't worry for the time being. I am the only one who knows the formula of this Fructus Fructus fungus oil. If anyone else wants it, she will have to research it by herself. Even if she does, it will definitely not have an authentic taste and it will not have a big impact. After all, what we are famous for is the genuine product..."

"Besides, we can't put dishes on this ingredient in the future, we have to develop other dishes!"

"Oh?"

Shopkeeper Zhu touched his beard and understood, and smiled like an old fox, "What Mrs. Luo said is absolutely true!"

The rejuvenation of Yumanlou’s business is not only due to the chicken fungus oil, but also the recipes!

"Hmm...! Haha! Shopkeeper Zhu, look, in addition to the gallinopsis oil, I also brought a strange fruit today!"

Luo Zhi'er took out the acorns from the basket on his back.

"Acorn?"

"That's right!"

When she left home, she not only brought with her mushroom oil, but also fried pine nuts and dried acorn beans!
I just brought it over for them to have a taste.

The fried pine nuts were given to Shopkeeper Zhu as a curiosity. She brought the acorns because she knew the restaurant had flour grinding equipment.

Shopkeeper Zhu was upstairs reading the account books and cracking delicious pine seeds, and she went to the kitchen.

It's time to get off work. There is no cook in the kitchen now. She is the only worker. She is no longer tied to her hands when working, and she can use condiments as she pleases!
Grind this acorn into powder and filter the coarse residue…

Make a fire, stir in the flour, scoop up the jelly, slice it, pound the garlic, add chili oil, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and other condiments to make a large pot of acorn jelly.
