Traversing the good life of a peasant woman

Chapter 71

Baiweiju, the largest restaurant in Luoshui Town, has not yet received a group of customers in the restaurant that has just opened, and the only waiter in the lobby is sitting leisurely in a corner, with dim eyes as if about to doze off.At this moment, the light at the door of the store dimmed, and a couple in ordinary clothes walked into the store together, and Xiao Er immediately cheered up and greeted him warmly: "Second guests, please come inside."

Out of professional habits, Xiao Er quickly glanced at the couple, and then led them all the way to the inner side of the lobby where there was no starting point, and asked: "You two are coming to our Baiweiju for the first time, don't you know?" What do you two want to eat?"

"Thank you, little brother, we want to inquire. I wonder if the shopkeeper is there?" The man asked first.

As soon as Xiao Er heard that they were not here for dinner but looking for the shopkeeper, his expression changed slightly. Although he was still smiling, his words were alert: "Do you know our shopkeeper?"

"I don't know." The man replied.

Xiaoer turned his eyes and said, "Guest officer, you don't know our shopkeeper, so it's a bit difficult to want to see him so recklessly. Our shopkeeper is very busy every day, isn't it Anyone can see it casually." When he said these words, Xiao Er's expression was a little arrogant.Of course, this is also understandable, as this Baiweilou is the largest restaurant in Luoshui Town, its shopkeeper can be regarded as the number one person in Luoshui Town.

The man was not unhappy either, he took out something from his cuff and stuffed it into Xiaoer's hand and said, "Little brother, please do me a favor and pass on a message for us, saying that our husband and wife are here to talk to the shopkeeper. recommend a new ingredient."

The waiter looked at the silvery white exposed from between his fingers, put on a smiling face and said, "Since I'm here to recommend ingredients, I can't keep you out, so you just wait a little while, I'll go and serve you." Lou went to tell the shopkeeper, but I can't guarantee whether I will see you or not."

"It's just a matter of trouble for you to pass on a word. We will never complain about whether it is successful or not." The man smiled honestly.

When the mistress went upstairs, the woman who came with her said in a low voice, "Da Chuan, you actually returned the silver melon seeds."

"Isn't there a saying that the King of Hades loves to be troubled by little ghosts? I was afraid of such a thing, so I brought a few silver melon seeds for emergencies. I didn't expect it to be really useful." Fang Dachuan whispered Said: "I only gave him two, it's not much better, but if we don't see the shopkeeper, we still lose money."

"No, since he can be the shopkeeper of such a big store, he must not be the kind of person who has no vision. Even if he doesn't believe that we will have any good things, he will still come and see, unless he is a nepotism. "Wen Yue analyzed very rationally, although she was also in a state of ups and downs in her heart.

Fang Dachuan nodded before speaking. He put all his heart on the wooden ladder, wishing he could hear the sound of someone coming down the stairs immediately.In this matter, he has no way to be calm and calm. These days Wen Yue's hard work and hard work have always been in his eyes, and he understands how much Wen Yue wants to accomplish this matter.

But he can't help Wenyue except for a few strengths. This makes him frustrated, and at the same time, he hopes that Wenyue can succeed more than anyone else, and that Wenyue can realize all her ideals and ambitions .In this way, Wen Yue can get the greatest satisfaction and happiness from it, and only when Wen Yue is happy can he feel happy.

Time passed little by little, just when Fang Dachuan was about to lose hope, footsteps finally appeared on the stairs, "Where is the person?"

"Go back to the shopkeeper, it's right there!"

Fang Dachuan, who had already heard the voice, stood up, took two steps outside, and clasped his fists at the shopkeeper who just came down the stairs: "Good job, shopkeeper."

Fang Dachuan looked at the shopkeeper in front of him, and said with emotion in his heart, the shopkeeper of Baiweiju was really afraid that others would not know that he was in the restaurant business.Looking at his figure, one would feel that the food in this Baiweiju is good at a glance, otherwise how could there be such a fat person?
"You are?" Maybe it was because the shopkeeper was overweight, he started panting when he stood in front of Fang Dachuan, and the folding fan in his hand was whistling, but his face was still flushed with heat.When he sat down on the chair, he heard a "creak", and the chair made a painful sound when he sat on it.Wen Yue twitched the corner of her mouth. This man really eats well. In ancient times when fat people were rare, it was quite rare to meet such a big fat man.

"The shopkeeper, my surname is Fang, and I'm from Zhoujiabao. I'm taking the liberty to disturb you this time because my wife has accidentally made a new kind of food, and I want you to give me a hand." Fang Dachuan pulled a stool and sat down. The opposite of the shopkeeper did not directly say what he wanted to sell.

The shopkeeper nodded, and said indifferently: "That's fine, just bring it to me to have a look." But in his heart, he was so angry with that little guy that he was going to die, and he didn't say clearly who it was who came, so that He mistakenly thought that some cook had researched new dishes.In the end, it turned out that these two rural people came down, and what knowledge did they have, I am afraid that the new things they thought would not be able to enter his Baiweiju at all.

Wen Yue put the basket she brought on the table, and from it put vermicelli, vermicelli, a small bowl of starch, and the jelly she made earlier

They were laid out one by one.The shopkeeper, who was not very serious at first, gradually put away his casual expression when he saw Wen Yue take out the things, and sat up straight.

It's not surprising that he behaved like this. Although the things that Wen Yue brought out seemed nothing special, each of them really occupied the word "novelty".

After Wen Yue took out all the things in the basket, she introduced: "Shopkeeper, these are all the foods I researched in my spare time. You have a lot of experience. I don't know if you have seen these outside?"

The shopkeeper shook his head, picked up his chopsticks, touched everything lightly, and said, "Madam, can you tell me what these are?"

It's fine if there is none. After hearing the shopkeeper's answer, Wen Yue has no worries at all. In this world, communication is underdeveloped. She is really worried that someone will make the same thing somewhere.

First push the mixed jelly to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, please try this dish first, I will introduce these ingredients to you slowly."

Refreshing mixed jelly, Wenyue has never seen anyone who doesn't like to eat it in the hot weather, let alone this fat shopkeeper?When Wenyue finally talked about the role of starch, he had already wiped out a plate of jelly.Looking at the clean plates, the shopkeeper didn't feel embarrassed at all, and even looked at the basket brought by Wen Yue with some unsatisfactory intentions.

"Madam, you have told me so much, but I still feel that this plate of jelly is more delicious. It is because I eat it in my mouth that I have an intuitive feeling. If you want, can you How about making me a casual dish with the few things you brought?" He looked at Wen Yue expectantly and asked.

Wen Yue was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that he would say the lines she wanted to say first. That's fine, it's better for him to say it than for her to say it herself.

Wen Yue nodded and said, "If you don't mind, of course I can."

The shopkeeper turned around and said to Xiaoer, "Take this lady to the kitchen and tell Master Lu that the things in the kitchen are for this lady to use, and he just needs to help."

Wen Yue didn't want to cook too many dishes, after all, vermicelli and vermicelli can be paired with a lot of dishes, so she made a dish of ants climbing a tree with vermicelli, and made a very beautiful color match with ready-made materials in the kitchen The Spinach Vermicelli Tower and two simple dishes were served on the table, and the shopkeeper of Baiweiju once again moved his fingers.

After eating these two dishes in his mouth with satisfaction, the shopkeeper smiled and said: "The taste of this dish is really good, both of you, since you are here today, and you have put so much thought into it, let's talk about it. What do you want? I don't want to go around in circles with you, I really want to add your ingredients to our Baiweiju food list."

Fang Dachuan didn't expect the shopkeeper to express his thoughts so directly. After thinking about it carefully, he stopped going around in circles and said, "Since the shopkeeper is so forthright, our husband and wife won't say those superfluous words. We came here today to recommend these dishes to you, the shopkeeper, if the shopkeeper thinks this dish is worthy of Baiweiju, we can continue to discuss further."

"The dishes are easy to talk about, but the ingredients are probably not available in the market." The shopkeeper stared at Fang Dachuan and asked.

Fang Dachuan smiled and said: "As long as you want to buy, these ingredients will be available in the market tomorrow. To be honest, our husband and wife have already rented a shop, and we will start the vermicelli business soon."

"This... the shopkeeper closed the fan forcefully, and said regardless of the sweat dripping from his face, "Can't you just supply the food to my family?I can give you a higher price. "

Wen Yue was also a little surprised, the shopkeeper really had a good idea, and wanted to monopolize the vermicelli by himself, which was naturally beneficial to him, but it was a big loss for Wen Yue.Even if this Baiweiju's business is good, how much can it buy from her? How can it compare to the purchasing power of the whole town?

If it wasn't because she couldn't get people to accept vermicelli quickly, she could only think of promoting it through the restaurant to let everyone have a preliminary understanding of vermicelli, why would she choose to come here directly? It has become popular in the market, and there is no fear that restaurants will not come to buy it.

This time, Fang Dachuan didn't wait for Wenyue to speak, and refused, saying, "I'm afraid we won't be able to meet the shopkeeper's request. If we follow your request, we may lose more than 01:30 points. This won't work."

Seeing that Da Chuan refused so neatly, the shopkeeper became silent, but the black eyeballs in those small eyes did not stop moving for a moment.For a long time, Fang Dachuan didn't see the shopkeeper talking, so he said to Wen Yue: "Yue Niang, why don't we change to another one, the shopkeeper may really have difficulties, so let's not embarrass each other."

Wen Yue nodded, and was about to put the things she brought into the basket. The shopkeeper who didn't achieve her goal would agree with them to leave, so she hurriedly stopped her and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, you have something to discuss, you little couple, you have a temper It's too hasty."

Seeing that Fang Dachuan and Wen Yue still refused to sit down, he repeatedly said to Xiao Er: "Go and get a cup of tea quickly. In this hot day, do you let the guests sit like this?"

"Mr. Fang, you have to know that the most important thing for us to do business is to grab an opportunity and an exclusive opportunity. If you sell this vermicelli to the outside world, soon other restaurants will also serve the same dish. , naturally our profits will be less? Isn’t it the same as the saying that rare things are more expensive?” He seemed to be afraid that Fang Dachuan and the others would not understand, so he even explained his purpose for doing so.

Fang Dachuan seemed to agree with what the shopkeeper said, nodded and said: "I understand everything you said, but I am also in business, how can I give up greater interests in the future for the sake of small profits in front of me? This is too much. The gain outweighs the loss, if I really do that, it doesn’t matter if my shop doesn’t open, there’s no need to drag the family around, don’t you think?”

"Hiss..." the shopkeeper was rendered speechless by Fang Dachuan's refutation. He really didn't expect that such a countryman would have a good business experience.But if he refuses to be the exclusive supplier, seeing that the opportunity to make more money is lost when he uses it properly, he really feels uncomfortable.

Just when Fang Dachuan was at loggerheads with the shopkeeper, Wen Yue said, "Shopkeeper, do you think this will work? Let's each take a step back, one month, counting from the time you pick up the goods from us, this month Let's not open a shop at this time, let you occupy an exclusive share first, what do you think?"

"This is good, this is good." Wen Yue's words made the shopkeeper smile all of a sudden. When they couldn't persuade them to sell vermicelli only to the Baiweiju family, this would be a good choice. One month's time , as long as the operation is good, it will definitely not be a small profit.

"It's just...Wen Yue looked at the shopkeeper in a bit of a dilemma, and didn't continue to talk, but the shopkeeper waved his hand and said: "If you have any difficulties, just tell them, let's see what can be done." "

"It's just our loss this month...Wen Yue looked at Fang Dachuan in embarrassment, as if she regretted the proposal just now.

Seeing Wen Yue's expression, the shopkeeper froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, how about this, what is the position of your vermicelli? In this month, all the vermicelli I buy will be tripled." How about the price to settle?"

Fang Dachuan was satisfied with the shopkeeper's proposal, and Wen Yue also thought it was acceptable, and they both nodded at the same time.Later, they drafted a contract together. When everything was going well, the shopkeeper of Baiweiju suddenly made another request. He hoped that Wen Yue would teach all the recipes she knew to the master of Baiweiju without reservation.

In his opinion, since the vermicelli is made by this woman, she must know many ways to serve it.That being the case, if you learn these dishes as quickly as possible, and write them into the menu of Baiweiju one day earlier, you can see the benefits one day earlier.

Fang Dachuan felt that the shopkeeper's request was a little too greedy. There is an unwritten rule in any restaurant, that is, when the chef creates a new dish, he will get a bounty from the boss.From his point of view, the methods that Wenyue has in hand now belong to Wenyue's own untold secrets, and if you take out any one, you can get another sum of money.What's more, Wen Yue has already cooked two dishes in front of their chef, as long as she is not stupid, she should have learned them all by stealing.

Although he was unwilling in his heart, but he always valued Wen Yue's opinion, he still turned to look at Wen Yue, wondering what Wen Yue thought.

Wen Yue is not so repulsive about this matter, because she knows that the so-called vermicelli and vermicelli are all used as side dishes, and there are not many tricks to do at all.Now the reason why the shopkeeper still regards the recipe as a good thing is only because the vermicelli is a new thing, they don't understand it. Why don't you use this smart request of the shopkeeper and sign another request with him.

Wen Yue raised her head slightly, nodded lightly and said, "We can agree to the shopkeeper's request, but I hope that another condition can be added when writing this item into the contract."

"What's the condition?" The shopkeeper asked anxiously when he heard that Wen Yue was willing to teach.

"I hope the shopkeeper can promise us that from now on, the vermicelli, vermicelli and jelly used in Baiweiju can only be purchased from us. No matter whether there are other people who also operate these in the future, you can only buy them from us. That is to say, what I want is to be the only supplier of Baiweiju." Wen Yue slowly raised her head, looking directly into shopkeeper Mo's eyes and said.

"Hiss..." There was a trace of surprise in the shopkeeper's eyes, and after a long time he laughed and said: "Mr. Fang, you husband and wife are really amazing. Now I am a little worried about businessmen who will be in the same business as you in the future. With you With such minds, they should be under pressure."

The shopkeeper's praise stunned Fang Dachuan for a moment. How could he not know what he was like? Dachuan felt that the person praised by the shopkeeper should be Wen Yue, but Yueniang really deserved such praise.Fang Dachuan raised the corners of his mouth, as if he had received a compliment, and said modestly with a smug expression: "You, the shopkeeper, are overwhelmed. Our husband and wife don't have such big ambitions. We just hope that we can run this business well, and that's enough." .”
