Pastoral little master

Chapter 93 The Rich Tan Damei
On the surface, he invited me to be a chef, but in fact he should take the opportunity to learn how to boil fish, and then fire me.

Good way!
Two taels of silver per month is indeed a great temptation for a farm boy, and many families can't earn two taels of silver all year round.

Unfortunately, Xu Youxuan seduced the wrong person.

Qiduo couldn't help pursing her lips and smiling.

A profiteer is indeed a profiteer, and he does not give up any chance to count others.

Liuju looked at Qiduo with envious eyes, wow, Duo is so powerful, Chunfeng Deyilou wants to hire her as a master!

After being envious, I am proud of Qiduo.

Qiduo smiled, and answered Xu Youxuan, "Thank you, Xu Shaodong's family, for your kindness. It's just that we country people are used to being free, so we can't do this important job."

Declined politely.

Xu Youxuan was surprised, he didn't expect Qiduo to refuse such good treatment.

"Little brother is too humble. You are a superb cook, and you are definitely worthy of the position of chef in charge of our Spring Breeze Building." Xu Youxuan persuaded.

Qiduo shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, Xu Shaodong's family, to tell you the truth, I came to see you at this time because we just dug up fresh bamboo shoots. I don't know if your restaurant needs them. The bamboo shoots in the boiled fish were ours. Bamboo shoots from home."

"Did you bring the bamboo shoots?" Xu Youxuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

He had eaten boiled fish before, and found that not only the fish fillets were tender and smooth, but also the bamboo shoots were crisp and refreshing, which seemed to taste better than the bamboo shoots he had eaten on weekdays.

Not only did he think it was delicious, but the guests also praised the delicious taste of the bamboo shoots, and praised the chef of Chunfeng Deyi Building for his good cooking skills.

"That's right, if it's not necessary, then we'll leave first." Qiduo nodded.

"He Guanshi, the reward you said before..." Liu Ju looked at He Guanshi and reminded him vaguely.

Qiduo told her this sentence in advance and asked her to say it by chance.

"Cough! Don't worry, you are indispensable for the reward." Steward He looked at Xu Youxuan, covered his mouth and coughed lightly.

Xu Youxuan tapped the table with his slender fingers, and asked, "I wonder if my little brother can cook boiled pork slices and boiled cabbage besides boiled fish?"

"All." Qiduo answered confidently.

It will be fine, Manager He is overjoyed, he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

"I'm not going around the bush. I want to ask my little brother to teach our master how to cook these two dishes, including the boiled fish. I'll give you five taels of silver as a reward. How about little brother?" Xu Youxuan said very directly.

Qi Duo smiled, "Of course it's no problem to teach you how to cook these three dishes. As long as Xu Shaodong's family buys these three recipes, I will teach them right away."

"Buy the recipe? I don't know the price?" Xu Youxuan asked cautiously.

He looked at Qiduo with more scrutiny, this kid is really smart, and he even knows how to sell recipes.

"Boiled fish belongs to the Sichuan cuisine series. Shu cuisine is the most distinctive cuisine. It combines the characteristics of the east, west, north, and south, and draws on the strengths of all families. It is characterized by spicy and delicious flavors. The taste is both fresh and mellow. Diverse and easy to choose materials, it can be fresh from the river, wild vegetables and poultry.

I think that Chunfeng Deyi Restaurant is the largest restaurant in our Tonglin County, and the master chefs in expensive restaurants can't do it, and I believe the people in other restaurants can't do it.Our Tonglin County is located on the banks of the Mianjiang River, and there are guests from all over the world. If your restaurant adds a series of Shu cuisine, I believe this business will be improved to a higher level.

No, if I go to open a Sichuan restaurant, it will be opposite to the expensive restaurant, maybe the business will be very hot.Well, that's a good idea. "Qiduo didn't answer Xu Youxuan's question directly, but talked about the characteristics of Sichuan cuisine.

These seemingly inadvertent words made Xu Youxuan's eyes shine.

He treats Qiduo differently, in his eyes, she is no longer an ordinary chef who can cook, but a businessman with business acumen.

Now he finally understood why Qiduo refused to be a chef in Chunfeng Deyi Building.

At the same time, he became curious about Qiduo's identity.

Not to mention that he is just an ordinary peasant boy, even he, who has studied with his father for these years, does not know enough about the famous dishes of other provinces in the Daming Dynasty, and it is the first time he has come into contact with Shu cuisine.

Why does this young man who is much younger than himself know so much?
Although Guanshi He was also amazed by Qiduo's knowledge, he was a little disdainful of her thoughts and said, "Little brother, opening a restaurant is not a matter of three or two sentences. I don't know how much labor and money it will cost. Even if your restaurant Open up, the food is delicious, without the help of contacts, your restaurant will also not be able to gain a foothold in the county.

Besides, the Sichuan cuisine you mentioned is too spicy, and people here don’t necessarily like it, it’s hard. "

This is not entirely unreasonable, no matter how good your restaurant is, without the support and care of local celebrities, it will be difficult to continue to operate for a long time, of course Qiduo understands.

She has no plans to open a restaurant now, she just said these words to attract Xu Youxuan's heart, and then earn some small money for herself.

"He Guanshi, what you said is also very reasonable, but the smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, besides, why do people go to restaurants to eat, isn't it just to try to find something new, to eat rare dishes that cannot be eaten at home.

Everyone is used to eating local dishes, and suddenly there is a Sichuan restaurant, so they must go to try the taste.As for what you said is too spicy, this is not a problem. All dishes can be cooked in three flavors: mild spicy, medium spicy and heavy spicy, which suits the needs of different customers. " Qiduo explained with a smile.

Uh, what the kid said makes sense!

He Guanshi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but nod his head.

Xu Youxuan's hand that had been tapping on the table had stopped tapping, and was staring at Qi Duo's words.

The thick black eyebrows were gathered together, and the smooth and full forehead was wrinkled.

After a while, Xu Youxuan asked Qiduo, "Little brother, who are you?"

"Go back to Xu Shaodong's house. My family has been farming for generations. I'm a seven-year-old at home. Xu Shaodong's family and He Guanshi call me Xiaoqi. This is Xiaoliu." Qiduo replied with a smile, and introduced Liuju, but didn't say who they were girl.

Xu Youxuan didn't seem to believe her real identity, it could be seen that her eyes were pure and clear, her expression was calm and calm, she didn't seem to be lying, so she couldn't help but believe it.

He no longer entangled with the issue of identity, and asked, "Brother Xiaoqi, what Manager He just said is right, it is not easy to open a restaurant. If we want to buy some Sichuan dishes, how can we sell them?"

After hearing Qiduo's words, he knew that she was not easy to be fooled, and he was embarrassed to talk about other ways to ask for recipes.

"Each recipe is 100 taels." Qiduo said with a smile, and then, under the astonished eyes of Xu Youxuan and He Guanshi, said again, "If you buy more, the price is negotiable. For example, Xu Shaodong's family, you want to buy ten dishes that are the most distinctive Naturally, it will cost less than 1000 taels, and it can be sold for 800 taels, and you can also give two famous dishes as gifts.”

The 800 taels not only stunned Xu Youxuan and He Guanshi, but also stunned Liu Ju, unable to recover for a long time.

"This...the price is ridiculously high." Manager He said in surprise.

Qiduo seriously shook her head, "Boss He, it doesn't matter if you think the price is too high, I can make it cheaper, 200 taels. But I will sell these recipes to other restaurants such as Yuekelai, Fu'anlou, etc. At that time, every restaurant in our county had the same dishes, and Chunfeng Deyi Restaurant will no longer be the only one.”

He Guanshi was silent.

He naturally understands the difference between the only and universal.

He looked at Xu Youxuan.

Xu Youxuan was very moved by Qiduo's proposal. Chunfeng Deyilou has always been the leader in the industry. If you want to continue to maintain this trend, you can't stick to the rules. You have to keep innovating and adding and changing the characteristics of the dishes, and you are always one step ahead of your opponent. Only in this way can you stand forever invincible position.

But 800 taels is not a small amount, and it is difficult for him to make up his mind for a while.

He thought for a while, and said to Qiduo, "Brother Xiaoqi, if we want to buy the recipe, we naturally want to be the only one. If everyone has it, then it doesn't make much sense for us to ask for it. It's just that the price can be cheaper. 800 taels is indeed too appalling.

If we go to Sichuan to invite a famous chef back, it will not cost 800 taels. "

Qiduo smiled and said, "The method of hiring a famous chef is completely different from having your own recipe. Like the boiled cabbage dish, the most important thing is the soup. A famous chef can cook for you, but they won't tell you How this soup is made, you can never have the secret recipe.

After you buy the recipe, all these secret recipes belong to you. Think about it, don’t make such a hasty decision. By the way, do you want bamboo shoots and bracken? It’s getting late, we have to go back. "

She really wants to go back.

I don't know if my fourth uncle has found Liu Matchmaker. If she finds her, I don't know if she can tell the truth. What is the truth? She is very eager to know.

And those two ancestral properties, she wanted to see what they looked like and why the Tan family despised them so much.

"I want bamboo shoots and bracken." Xu Youxuan nodded readily.

"How much is a catty?" Qiduo looked at him with a half-smile and asked.

"You ask the price." Xu Youxuan's attention was on the Sichuan cuisine, and he didn't have much energy to take care of these small things.

"Xu Shaodong's family is really straightforward, so let's have eleven coins a catty." Qi Duo replied.

I was tricked by you last time, but not this time!

"Deal, what's the matter, you take Brother Seven to weigh it, and please bring Brother Seven to come over after paying the bill." Xu Youxuan ordered.

Manager He nodded in agreement, and took Qiduo and Liuju downstairs.

Xu Youxuan sat alone for a while, then got up and opened the door to go out, hurried downstairs to give a few orders to a young man, and then left the restaurant.

110 catties of bamboo shoots, 430 catties of bracken, a total of [-] Wen.

Qiduo still followed the previous method, and secretly stuffed [-] Wen to Guan He.

Although he was very rude to her at the beginning, he may cooperate with her many times in the future, so he cannot be offended.

No one has trouble with money, so Guanshi accepted the copper coin with a smile, and Qiduo became more pleasing to the eye, a very sensible child.

But when Guanshi He was about to take Qiduo up to the second floor to look for Xu Youxuan again, a boy said that Xu Youxuan said hello and asked Qiduo and the others to wait in the restaurant for a while, and he would come back as soon as he went.

Qiduo's eyes drooped slightly, thinking, did he ask for advice?

Knowing that Xu Youxuan might take several hours to come back, Qiduo decisively asked Tan Dejin to drive the ox cart and take herself and Liuju to the city.

Although she had been to the county town several times, she always came in a hurry and returned in a hurry, never taking a leisurely stroll.

It is a woman's nature to love shopping, and so is Qiduo.

It was the first time for Liuju to come to the county seat, and she was already attracted by the bustling and bustling city, so she was even more excited sitting on the bullock cart now.

But what excited her the most was Qiduo's appearance when she was discussing business with Xu Youxuan.

This was the first time she met Qiduo to discuss business with others. In the past, she only listened to Tan Dejin's description, so she was shocked by her personal experience.

After earning money, Qiduo had long wanted to buy something for Mrs. Xu, and now she finally had the chance.

The father and daughter strolled along the street, and Qiduo bought a lot of things.

When passing by a wine shop, Tan Dejin stopped and looked at the altar of fine wine with a look of hesitation on his face.

"Father, what's the matter? You want to buy wine, then buy a jug." Qiduo asked.

Tan Dejin rubbed the back of his head and said with a smile, "Duo, I...I want to buy a jar for your grandfather, but I have never bought wine for him before?"

Qiduo rolled her eyes secretly, "Father, do you think it's time to buy wine for grandpa? Don't forget, we still owe Fenglintang 200 taels of silver. Where can we get the money to buy wine for grandpa? Didn't you see me?" The things I bought for my mother were all small gadgets, and they were put away close to the body, just to avoid people's eyes and ears.

Besides, the eldest sister's marriage has not been settled yet, so I don't agree to buy wine for my grandfather now. "

Liuju immediately agreed, "Father, what Duo said is very reasonable, I will buy it for grandpa in a few days."

"Okay, Dad listens to you." Tan Dejin thought that what his daughters said made sense, so he stopped insisting.

Only then did Qiduo and Liuju continue to walk forward in peace.

As they walked, Liuju suddenly pulled her arm, and said in a low voice, "Duo, quickly see if the person in front is Sister Damei?"

Qiduo hurriedly stopped, and looked in the direction of Liuju's finger.

On the opposite side of the street was an alley paved with bluestone slabs, and two young women were standing at the entrance of the alley, talking.

Should say something happy, both of them had smiles on their faces.

One of them was a woman with a woman's hair bun, tall and tall, wearing a small thin jacket with rose red silver pattern embroidered with a hundred butterfly flowers, and a golden skirt embroidered with the same color, graceful and graceful.

The golden hairpin on her head shone brightly in the sunlight, giving her the appearance of a noble lady.

Taking a closer look, the woman looks somewhat similar to Tan Deyin.

Qiduo searched carefully in memory, and found that this woman was Tan Damei, the eldest daughter of Tan Deyin.

This was the first time Qiduo saw her after her rebirth. In previous memories, Tan Damei's in-laws were from an average family background, and her husband Wang Honglei was just a county government catcher, and his monthly salary was not high.

Every time Tan Damei went back to her natal home, she dressed very ordinaryly, and she had never seen her wearing brocade clothes.

On the second day of the first month of this year, she went back to Tan's house with Wang Honglei to pay New Year's greetings. At that time, she was also wearing ordinary cotton clothes. How could she suddenly become a rich wife in just two or three months?
Either the Wang family has always been rich, but deliberately pretended to be poor in front of the Tan family;

Tan Dejin, who followed Qiduo and the others, also saw Tan Damei.

"Isn't that Damei? How could Damei wear such expensive clothes?" Tan Dejin muttered to himself, with deep doubts on his face.

　Sahua thanks Sister May for the support of the safety talisman, I love you! !
