Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 257

On the way back, Liu Ya realized that the day had run out, and she hadn't asked Chun Niu if anyone in Lijiatun raised ducks.He hurriedly asked: "Chun Niu, does someone raise ducks at your mother's house? It's the kind to eat, not to lay eggs."

Chun Niu said: "Yes, there is a family that raises dozens of ducklings. I heard that they specialize in hatching ducklings to buy money. Some people bought ducklings and raised them. They also sold them to restaurants when they were fattened up."

Liu Ya's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Then can you ask me to see if you can sell me some ducks from that family?"

"Do you want to eat it? The stewed duck is not very tasty. But the old duck is removed from the fire, but many people sell it to make soup." Chun Niu asked curiously: "Then how many do you want?"

Liu Ya made some calculations and said: "For the first time, ten or so are enough. If you succeed, you will have more in the future."

Chun Niu agreed: "Okay, I can ask you when I go back. But I don't know that family well, so I guess they can't sell it to me cheaply."

"You don't have to negotiate the price for me. It's just as much as you want. If you really want to buy a lot, I will naturally go to them to negotiate the price." After Liu Ya finished speaking, she told Chun Niu: "However, I You have to keep the matter of buying ducks a secret from me. Also, don’t tell me about the small water shop. If someone asks, just say that you are helping me open up wasteland on the mountain. And you are helping me now I will pay you for your work. Regardless of whether Xiaoshuipu loses money or earns money, I will give you...three silver coins a month."

When Liu Ya said the price, she had considered it.Because in Pingshan Village, those who do odd jobs for other people are usually paid a few copper coins a day. For example, Liu Xuer only pays three copper coins a day for helping Aunt Niu's house clean up the vegetable field.Even if a strong laborer works as a helper and does hard work, the price is one penny a day, and three pennies a month.

Although Chunniu is physically strong, she is still a woman after all.If she went out to work for others, she would definitely not be able to earn so much money.

But Liu Ya also considered that Xiaoshuipu's business is quite good now, and the daily income is at least [-] to [-] copper coins.After this month, it must be enough for Chun Niu's salary.If Chun Niu really worked hard to win over the guests, then Liu Ya would still make money.

So giving Chunniu this money sounds like a lot, and it can be regarded as a reassurance for Chunniu, so that she can really feel at ease and guard her here.

Chunniu was also surprised when Liu Ya said that she would be given three renminbi a month.Hastily waved his hand and said: "No, no, Ya'er, you gave me so much money, how can I take it? Are you kind enough to help me pay back the money? To be honest, I can't make money with you, and then return it to you It is as much as it should be. When I go out to do part-time work for other people, it is five or six copper coins a day, and eight copper coins are the most for those who are more tired. You give me two coins a month, which is quite a lot. I can’t take it You three coins."

"Oh, you are really strange, do you think it's too much for starting work?" Liu Ya said with a smile: "I give you so much money because I want you to work more, but there is no reason for you to take advantage of it." I was thinking, you can make money by setting up a stove behind this small bamboo shed and cooking some simple meals for guests. You don’t need any good dishes with big fish and big meat, vegetables from your own field, and soil from the yard The chicken and the mushrooms on the mountain make good dishes. The polished rice is made into big rice, and there is only one pot per day. Then steam a drawer of steamed buns and a drawer of buns. It’s almost the same. Come early and have food, come late Not anymore."

"This...isn't the restaurant always ordered by the guests? Can the food I cook suit the appetite of the guests? I'm not sure about this, and I can't ask you for so much money." Chun Niu flinched a little. , I really don't know why Liu Ya trusts herself so much.Her cooking is not bad, but she can't compare with the cooks in the restaurants in the town.

Liu Ya gave Chun Niu a blank look when she heard this, and said: "You are quite big, but you are so timid. Just tell the guests what you said to me, and tell them that what you cook is just the taste of farm food. It’s not as refined as the big restaurants in the town. As for the price, it’s enough for the customers to watch and give, and they’re not allowed to order. It’s what you do, what they eat, picky eaters don’t eat, or only white steamed buns are sold give them."

"What? Ya'er, why are you doing business again?" Chun Niu was even more surprised: "I heard you said before that if you want to reward, you have to see how happy the customers are. It's true that they are more popular. But now, according to what you mean, Why does it seem that what we say is fine, what does it mean if the guests like to eat or not?"

"Hey, don't talk about it, that's the reason." Liu Ya said proudly: "It's just such a big official road. There are no villages or restaurants in the front and back. If they don't eat, they just eat dry food. Didn't you hear the first group of guests today? Having said that, don’t ask for delicious food, as long as there are hot meals and vegetables, it’s better than eating steamed buns and drinking plain water. Besides, some guests are rich businessmen and officials, and the food they eat on weekdays is unimaginable. I’m afraid there are several chefs at home, and all of them are better than the chefs in the big restaurants in the city. Such customers are mouth-watering, and the more delicate you cook, the harder it is to win over them. But your mountain village game skills, On the contrary, it can give them a fresh taste. If the guests are happy, you will be rewarded with a big ingot, so don't pick it up yourself."

After hearing this, Chunniu knew that Liu Ya's last sentence was a joke.But he still had no confidence, so he said to Liu Ya: "How about this, I will build a stove in the back tomorrow, and then I will bring some pots and pans from home, Ya'er, come and yell for me to learn for a day. Otherwise I can't handle it well, and I will ruin your good business again."

After hearing this, Liu Ya sighed, and said: "No prospect, no guts. Tomorrow I'm going to the city, so you can figure it out here. If you don't dare to cook and sell food, then wait until I come back. Xiaoshu My son has a fever today, and I don't plan to let him out tomorrow. Let him rest at home for a few days, learn to write well, and send him to school in a few days."

Chun Niu was surprised: "I will be here alone tomorrow? I'm afraid I can't do it."

"Yes. Otherwise? I paid you to watch the fun?" Liu Ya purposely spoke harshly, and continued: "Your skills are not as good as my brother Xiao Shu'er. He also learned from me. After one day, the next day I was alone here to greet guests. Look at the guests who came today, and there are also repeat customers who know him specially. "
