Nongmen Rice Flower Fragrance

Chapter 12 Buying and Selling ([-])

"This one doesn't work, we'll just find another one. There are differences in how long or short a finger sticks out. It can't be that all the shop assistants in the world look down on people! There is nothing to care about with such people. When you have money, Jin Yihua In his eyes, you are the Jade Emperor, and if you are in rags, you are nothing in his eyes." Li Xin pulled Wen Hao away slowly.

"Is the eldest sister not angry at all?"

"There's nothing to be angry about. You'll get used to it after seeing more. What you have to do is not to be angry, let alone argue with him, but to work hard step by step to make yourself strong enough. There is a saying called 'Ning Bully the white-bearded man, don't bully the young and poor, one day the dragon will wear the phoenix, and don't believe that the pants will be pierced forever.' Say yes'I would rather offend the rich old man than look down on the poor young man. If young people work hard Sooner or later, you will be successful one day, and you don’t believe that you will always wear trousers with holes all your life.’Since you are looked down upon today, you have to work harder tomorrow, and you will be successful one day, so that you can impress those people.”

"I know Eldest Sister, I will definitely work hard to make Eldest Sister, Eldest Brother and younger sisters wear nice clothes and eat a lot of delicious food."

"Look, then let's go to Pinxiang Pavilion to take a look!" While talking and walking, he arrived at Pinxiang Pavilion after a while. The scale of Pinxiang Pavilion is similar to that of Yuankelai.Speaking of which, the distance between Yuankelai and Pinxiang Pavilion is really not far. I don't know if they will affect the business.The two siblings stood at the door and watched, Wen Hao was a little hesitant to go forward, he was afraid that he would be kicked out again like before.If it was before, when he saw such a restaurant, he would only dare to smell the fragrance from a distance, but he would not dare to approach it.

The waiter in this shop is friendly, it is still early, and he can't see how the business is going, "You two little guests, what do you want to eat?" The waiter in the shop greeted them when they saw their siblings approaching.

"It's like this. I made something at home and it tastes good, so I wanted to ask if I want to buy it at Pinxiang Pavilion." Li Xin stepped forward and took off the pannier she was carrying. Inside was a The earthen basin, the earthenware basin is full of sour bamboo shoots, and she still covers it with washed bamboo shoots for fear of soiling the sour bamboo shoots along the way.After taking off the bamboo shoots, she picked up some sour bamboo shoots with the clean chopsticks she brought and gave the waiter a taste.Now it's not time to eat, so naturally there won't be any business in the store, so the waiter in the store is more patient with them.Seeing that although the clothes of the two children are very ragged, they have been washed clean, their faces are also washed very clean, and their hair is carefully combed. They are not as dirty as many children, so they Instinctively, I have more good feelings.

The shop waiter tasted the sour bamboo shoots, then welcomed Li Xin and his brother into the shop, told them to sit down and wait, and then he went to inform the shopkeeper.Before leaving, I also gave them two plates of snacks, so that they can eat without worrying about their money.The waiter in this shop quickly won Li Xin's favor. If he wants to run a shop in the future, he will need such a buddy very much!
After a while, a man of about forty years came down from upstairs, with a goatee, a little fat, and looking kindly. "Miangui's surname is Sun. I'm the shopkeeper here. You can call me shopkeeper Sun or Guanshi Sun. Can you show me your things?" Shopkeeper Sun sat down opposite Li Xin and his brother as he spoke.

Li Xin put the big earthen pot on the table and handed the chopsticks to Shopkeeper Sun.After tasting it, shopkeeper Sun said: "It tastes good, but it can only be eaten like pickles, and it doesn't cost too much."

"Can I borrow the kitchen? I'll cook a few dishes for Shopkeeper Sun, and it won't be too late for Shopkeeper Sun to say something like that."

"Okay." Shopkeeper Sun led Li Xin and his brother to the kitchen at the back after finishing speaking.After all, it is a large-scale restaurant, so the kitchen of Pinxiang Pavilion is also very large. Although there are no customers yet, the kitchen is already busy.Some time-consuming soups and the like have to be made, otherwise the guests will not be able to make it all at once.There are a lot of fresh ingredients in the corner of the kitchen, and several chefs are cleaning and processing them.Li Xin looked around, then selected a few ingredients, and hurriedly cooked a few dishes, including fried beef with sour bamboo shoots, shredded fish soup with sour bamboo shoots, and fried twice-cooked pork with sour bamboo shoots.

Shopkeeper Sun nodded as he tasted the dish. The taste was really sour and refreshing, and it was also very appetizing.It's okay now, if it's hot summer, most people don't have much to eat, so appetizers like this will definitely be very popular.

"How much of this thing do you have?"

"I have eight big jars at home, all of which are big, and each jar should weigh fifty or sixty catties. If shopkeeper Sun wants it, he can still make it all the time."

"Pinxiangge's store was originally located in the capital, and there are branches all over the country. If you sell well, Pinxiangge can also keep asking for it, and the quantity is also large. If it's just your family, then As much as you cook, Pinxiang Pavilion should be able to use up. But I have two conditions, first, you have to tell us how to cook; second, you can’t sell it to other people.”

"The conditions are actually not too much, but in every restaurant, who doesn't have some secret recipes. After all, the recipes are also handed down from our family. If shopkeeper Sun wants it, I can sell it to shopkeeper Sun. I know a lot of dishes , I said, you can ask someone to write it down. It doesn’t matter if you don’t sell it to other people, as long as shopkeeper Sun doesn’t renege on the agreement first, then this clause will still be valid.”

"How do you plan to sell the recipe?"

"100 taels of silver, I will tell you the recipes of all the dishes I can make with sour bamboo shoots."

"How do I know if you know anything else besides those three dishes?"

"Don't you know right away? Let me tell you, and you pay the money. I want to keep doing business with shopkeeper Sun, so naturally I won't be greedy for small things and lose big things."

"Okay, then it's settled. I'll give you another eight cents a catty for the sour bamboo shoots, how about it? I want as much as you pay."

"Okay, then it's settled." Eight cents a catty is actually pretty good, bamboo shoots are something that costs nothing, and it just takes a little effort.It seems that the meat here is only sixteen to twenty yuan a catty.However, this thing is easy to imitate after a long time. Even if the taste is not so authentic, in fact, the taste is not much different after many trials.This means that it is easy for outsiders to imitate, and she is more worried that shopkeeper Sun will imitate it herself, because when transporting sour bamboo shoots, in order to keep them fresh, they must carry juice, as long as the fresh bamboo shoots are put into those bamboo shoots juice Inside, the bamboo shoots are sour very quickly.

What's more, there are some home-cooked dishes, which are easy for people to find out.All these reasons are why Li Xin wants to ask shopkeeper Sun for the recipe money.Because she herself didn't know how long this business could last.

"Okay, since it's settled, I'll draw up the contract." Shopkeeper Sun quickly drew up the contract according to the terms negotiated by the two of them, and Li Xin took it over and looked at it.It turned out that the characters in this world were the same as the modern simplified characters she was familiar with at a glance. She suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, luckily she didn't become illiterate!Otherwise, the road to study in the future is not a long way to go.
