Pastoral little master

Chapter 95 Enmity?

"What's the matter?" Qiduo felt their scrutinizing eyes, quickly raised her eyes, and asked suspiciously.

"Brother Xiaoqi, are you literate?" Xu Youxuan asked in surprise.

"Know a few." Qiduo responded modestly.

A brilliance flashed across Wen Xiuyi's starry eyes.
After Xu Youxuan got Qiduo's affirmative answer, he felt relieved, thinking that it shouldn't be a surprise that she could read and write.

"Are you willing to sell all these recipes?" Xu Youxuan asked.

This question is very skillful.

He originally wanted to ask Qiduo if she knew how to do these things, but if he asked directly like this, it would be to express doubts about her ability, which would be a bit impolite.

Saying it like this now, if Qiduo doesn't know a certain dish, she will tell it herself, and it won't make the atmosphere too embarrassing.

"Yes." Qiduo nodded.

There is a confident look on the face.

"Okay." Xu Youxuan nodded, secretly pleased that Qiduo could cook all these dishes.

But he quickly said again, "Brother Xiaoqi, to tell you the truth, I am not familiar with Sichuan cuisine, let alone whether their taste is authentic or not. In order not to make the guests laugh at that time, I specially invited Xiu Yi over At that time, after the little seven brothers have prepared ten dishes, they need to ask Xiu Yi to taste them.

Let's talk ugly before, if Cai can pass Xiu Yi's test, our deal will be considered a deal.If we fail, we can only cooperate next time we have a chance. "

Qiduo glanced at Wen Xiuyi, and said why Xu Youxuan suddenly understood Shu cuisine, it was because of Wen Xiuyi.

From Wen Xiuyi's accent, it seems that he is not from Tonglin County, could it be that he is from Sichuan?

Or he has been to Sichuan and is very familiar with Sichuan cuisine, otherwise, he would not take on this important task.

Xu Youxuan's request is not too much, and he must not be sloppy if he spends hundreds of taels of silver to buy recipes. If the dishes taste weird and not authentic, it will destroy the signboard of Chunfeng Deyi Building.

"Succeed, Mr. Xu, your request is not too much. It should be so. However, we still have something to say first, that is, if you are lucky enough to pass the level of Mr. Wen, then the price will be as I said, don't worry about it." bargain.

Of course, Xu Shaodong, you and Mr. Wen are good friends, and Mr. Wen is my younger brother’s savior, so I will give you two more recipes for free. " Qiduo said seriously.

Brothers settle accounts clearly, don't care about eating and drinking, and don't care about buying and selling.

Even if Wen Xiuyi is kind to his family, Xu Youxuan and him are good friends, but things in the business field should be as they should be, and the principle should not be violated.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Youxuan nodded readily, "Okay, just do what you say, brother Xiaoqi, and I will ask you to give me all you have when the time comes, don't keep it."

"Xu Shaodong's family, please don't worry, the key to doing business is to treat each other with sincerity, not to deceive others. Besides, there is Mr. Wen here as an expert, even if I want to steal a little laziness, I won't do it." Qi Duo's first half sentence I said it solemnly, and the second half of the sentence took a half-joking tone.

She didn't expect the profiteer to be so happy this time, which was better than Han and Lin.

Han Helin is cautious in doing things, but not straightforward enough, and likes to beat around the bush.

Xu Youxuan and Qiduo agreed on some details, and then asked He Guanshi to write the contract, both parties signed and pledged, and Wen Xiuyi also signed as an intermediary.

When signing, Qiduo asked Tan Dejin to sign, but he asked Qiduo to sign her name.

Qiduo had no choice but to write her own name. Xu Youxuan looked at her name and gave her a strange look, "Tan Qiduo, Brother Xiao Qi, your name doesn't look like a girl's name."

"Hey, mom and dad like girls." Qiduo smiled foolishly.
Xu Youxuan took another look at her, and nodded with a smile, but there was doubt in his eyes.
It was late today, and Qiduo was still in a hurry to go back, and agreed with Xu Youxuan to come over early the next morning, hand in the homework first, and then Wen Xiuyi would correct it, and Xu Youxuan would pay Qiduo 500 taels of silver after passing.

Next, Qiduo not only has to write out the complete recipes for Xu Youxuan, but also needs to teach a chef in Chunfeng Deyi Building, so that he can master the skills and methods of making these dishes.

After the chef has fully learned it, Xu Youxuan will pay the remaining 300 taels of silver.
This is not simply selling recipes, but teaching classes, and it includes teaching and meeting. If you meet a stupid student, this life will be a bit difficult.
Alas, it is not easy to earn some money.

Qiduo was deeply moved.
Fortunately, the tuition fee is not cheap, otherwise, Qiduo would not be willing to accept these additional conditions proposed by Xu Youxuan.

When Qiduo and their father and daughter returned to Tanjiazhuang, it was Shen Shi, and the sun began to set.

When the father and daughter stepped into the Tan family compound, there were smiles streaming quietly from the corners of their eyes and brows.

This smile came from the heart inadvertently.

They don't know it themselves.

When passing by the door of the upper room, Zhao's cold voice came from inside, "Boss, come in."

Qiduo and Liuju looked at Tan Dejin at the same time.

Tan Dejin frowned subconsciously, and said to the Qiduo sisters, "Go back first, your mother must be in a hurry at home."

"I'll go in with you." Qiduo pointed to the upper room.

Tan Dejin shook his head, "No, go back quickly." Then he turned and walked to the upper room.
Qiduo thought that the money was all on her, so she didn't worry about anything, so she and Liuju went back first.

Xu Shi and Er Xia were in a hurry, thinking about how they had been away for so long before they came back, thinking that something happened to them.
Seeing that they came back safe and sound, a worried heart finally let go.

"Why did you come back now? Did you encounter any difficulties?" Xu asked a little worried.

"Hey, mom, we're in trouble." Qiduo Meimei said with a smile after drinking a few sips of warm water.

Then, under Xu's worried eyes, Qiduo continued with a smile, "But, it's a good thing."

Then I talked about selling recipes.

However, she was paying attention to Mrs. Xu, and wanted to see the change in Mrs. Xu's expression after hearing the spring breeze.

Sure enough, when she heard that Qiduo was going to sell the recipes to Chunfeng Deyilou, Xu's face turned cold, and the expression of joy disappeared.

"Mother, what's wrong with you? Why are you unhappy?" Qiduo asked intentionally.

Liuju also looked at Xu Shi incomprehensibly, wondering why she was not happy about this great event.

Mrs. Xu sighed lightly, took Qiduo's hand, and said seriously, "Duo, can we not deal with Chunfeng Deyilou?""

"Why?" Qi Duo asked.

"No reason, it's just a little request from my mother." Xu shook her head, not wanting to tell the truth.

"Mother, I'm not a child anymore, just tell me what you have to say. Has the shopkeeper of Chunfeng Deyilou ever offended you? Or do you have any enmity with them?" Qiduo also shook her head and asked Doubt in my heart.

Xu's beautiful eyes drooped slightly, and she slowly shook her head, "No."

"Mother, since you have no grievances with them, why don't you let me do business with them? This... makes me very puzzled." Qi Duo was also a little displeased.

What's going on with these grown-ups, if they don't say anything, they have to keep it in their hearts and let people guess, it's really exhausting.

If Mrs. Xu and the others really have a grudge against Chunfeng Deyilou, they just don't want to do this business.

But I can't tell the reason, and I want to give up this hard-earned business, but I can't do it!

"Duo, mother..." Xu Shi also felt that it was unacceptable for her to make such a request, and she really didn't know how to persuade Qiduo to obey her.

If she uses her mother's status to suppress Qiduo, she is unwilling.

Qiduo works hard every day to find ways to make money for the family, and she can't do that.

But when she thought of cooperating with Chunfeng Deyi Building, she felt very responsive, like a stone was pressing on her heart, making her breathless.

Qiduo shook Xu's hand back, and said seriously, "Mother, I know you are not unreasonable, so you have a reason for saying this. If you really have a big hatred with them, I don't have to do this business." , but please say so. If there is no hatred, I will continue this business.

And now I am earning their money by my own ability, doing business with them, not being friends with them, don't think too much. "

Liu Ju also persuaded, "Yes, mother, we do business with them in a serious manner, and we don't steal or rob, why can't we do business."

Qi Duo said again, "Mother, I promise you, after this business is done, I will try to deal with them as little as possible in the future."

After some ideological struggle, Mrs. Xu said, "Duo, then you have to promise mother that you will not tell the people in Chunfeng Deyilou my and your father's names, let alone where you live, will it be okay?"

Is this fear of enemies coming to seek revenge?

Qiduo was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Mother, do you really have enmity with them?"

If Xu Youxuan's family were really Xu's enemies, she would definitely find a way to avenge Xu's.
"Duo, I really have no enmity with them, so don't ask about anything else, just do what mother says." Xu said seriously.

There is a slight tiredness between the expressions.
Seeing this, Qiduo nodded, "Mother, don't worry, of course I can do this, I won't tell strangers your and father's names for no reason."

When Mrs. Xu got up and was about to enter the inner room, Tan Dejin opened the door and went home.

"Father, what does grandma want you for?" Qiduo asked him, squinting at him.

"It's nothing." Tan Dejin replied with a embarrassed expression.

"Really?" Qiduo didn't believe it.

"En." Tan Dejin nodded.

Seeing that her father was unwilling to speak, Qiduo gave up.

"Father, where are Jiangfang and Luhuapo, please show me." Qiduo got up.

Tan Dejin didn't answer Qiduo, but looked at Mrs. Xu, scratched the back of his head, and said dully, "Mingxiu, you...you give me twenty Wen."

"What do you want money for?" Xu was puzzled.

"That..." Tan Dejin hesitated to speak.

"Father, grandma wants it." Qiduo raised her eyebrows and said, not a question, but an affirmation.

Tan Dejin nodded with a guilty conscience.

"What is the reason why grandma asks for money? Let me guess. It should be that we use the bullock cart, so she will charge for it." Qiduo continued.

Xu looked at Tan Dejin with anger in his eyes.

Tan Dejin turned his face aside, and said in a low voice, "Duo, your grandma didn't charge for it, it's just that we used the bullock cart for a day today, and your father and the others had nothing to do when they went out, so they spent money to take someone else's car. "

These are just excuses, it's just that Mrs. Zhao is very jealous when she knows that her family has made a hundred coins selling firewood.

"Father, give it to grandma. Tomorrow we will buy a cow ourselves." Qiduo calmly took out twenty Wen from her sleeve and handed it to Tan Dejin.

Qiduo was not at all surprised by Zhao's move, and didn't want to get entangled with her over such a trivial matter.

Tan Dejin took the copper plate with a hot face.

Xu sneered, flung the curtain and entered the inner room.

Qiduo shook her head and said to Tan Dejin, "Father, take me to Jiangfang and Luhuapo."

Tan Dejin sighed softly and said, "Duo, Luhuapo is some way away from our house. There is nothing interesting about these two places. The good ones are ancestral properties, and the bad ones are useless things."

"It's okay, just take a look." Qiduo insisted.

Seeing this, Tan Dejin could only nod his head in agreement.

The sauce shop is not far away, just in Tanjiazhuang.
