After passing through the book, Mr. Chief Assistant came to rely on me

After Su Xiaoxi entered the drug store, she took out the dried bear bile.

The shopkeeper looked at the dark things on the counter, his brows full of doubts, and couldn't help but ask: "Little lady, what is this?"

Su Xiaoxi explained: "This is bear bile."

When the shopkeeper heard this, his eyes widened and he couldn't believe it, "Is this bear bile?"

He had only seen bear bile in medicinal books, but never in reality. This bear bile is extremely precious. It has the functions of clearing heat and detoxifying, calming wind and relieving spasm, clearing the liver and improving eyesight. Its medicinal value is very high.

He didn't expect that Su Xiaoxi actually got bear bile.

"I hunted a black bear in the mountains a few days ago, and this bear bile was taken from that black bear." Su Xiaoxi explained.

The shopkeeper looked at Su Xiaoxi with even more surprise. He looked Su Xiaoxi up and down and said in disbelief: "Young lady can also hunt? It doesn't look like it."

"It is said that people should not be judged by appearance, and sea water should not be measured by measure." Su Xiaoxi replied with a smile, "Shopkeeper, this bear bile is a good thing, do you accept it here? If not, I will go to another drug store."

When the shopkeeper heard that she was going to sell it to someone else, he became anxious and said hurriedly: "Of course, I'll give you ten taels of silver!"

Su Xiaoxi shook her head and negotiated: "Shopkeeper, it's not easy for me to hunt. How about you add another five taels?"

The shopkeeper really didn't want to miss out on such a good medicinal material. He gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and said seriously: "Okay, 15 taels is 15 taels!"

After Su Xiaoxi collected the 15 taels, she felt very satisfied. She was about to leave, but was stopped by the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, don't you regret it?" Su Xiaoxi hugged Fifteen Liang tightly, like a baby.

The shopkeeper twirled his beard and said, "You are overthinking. I just want to ask the young lady a question."

"What's the problem?" Su Xiaoxi looked confused.

The shopkeeper asked with a gentle smile on his face: "I would like to ask the young lady if she knows medical skills?"

Su Xiaoxi did know medical skills. In modern times, her neighbor was a famous master of traditional Chinese medicine. Because she often went to his house to read medical books since she was a child, the master accepted her as his apprentice and taught her a lot of knowledge about traditional Chinese medicine.

So, Su Xiaoxi nodded, "I know a little bit."

When the shopkeeper heard this, a delighted smile appeared on his face: "That's great. My store is short of manpower. If the lady is willing, can you come over for a consultation?"

Su Xiaoxi thought for a while and replied: "I don't think it's possible to sit in the clinic every day, but once a week is fine."

"As long as you agree to come, you can come once a week. I'll give you fifty cents as wages every time you come. How about that?"

Fifty cents is already a very high salary, and Su Xiaoxi is naturally happy to say, "Okay, then I will tell you, the shopkeeper, three days in advance when I am sure to come, so that patients can come for consultation."

"it is good!"

After leaving the medical clinic, Su Xiaoxi went to the most famous restaurant in the market - Zuixian Restaurant.

As soon as she entered the restaurant, the waiter came out impatiently and said to her: "Guest, our restaurant is not open yet, please come back later."

Su Xiaoxi said directly: "Is your shopkeeper here? Or is your chef here?"

When the waiter heard that he came directly to the shopkeeper and the chef, he must have a good background, so he smiled and said: "The shopkeeper hasn't come yet today, but the chef is here. Guest, please wait a moment, I will go and ask."

After saying that, the waiter turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

back kitchen.

The chef is preparing today's dishes.

The waiter suddenly ran over and said to him: "Chef Fang, a young lady came outside and said she wants to see you."

Chef Fang frowned and asked, "Miss? Are you looking for me?"

He is still unmarried, so why would a young lady look for him? Chef Fang was curious, wiped his hands, and walked towards the front hall of the restaurant.

As soon as I entered the front hall, I saw a graceful and superior-looking young lady standing.

He was overjoyed, straightened his clothes, and immediately walked over and asked, "My dear lady, are you looking for me?"

When Su Xiaoxi heard the sound, she turned her head and saw a tall man standing behind her.

Seeing that he was wearing an apron, Su Xiaoxi guessed that he was the chef and said, "You must be the chef of this restaurant."

"Yes, I'm the chef. What's the matter with you, Madam?" Chef Fang has a very good attitude and is afraid of leaving a bad impression on Su Xiaoxi.

"Actually, I just want to ask, I have a pair of bear paws here, will your restaurant accept them?"

Su Xiaoxi actually inquired before coming to Zuixianlou that Zuixianlou is the largest restaurant here. The chef in charge of it likes to study new dishes, so this restaurant will have some new dishes from time to time.

Therefore, many people go there to eat, not only local people, but also some people from other places have heard that the dishes at Zuixianlou should be of different styles and taste.

When Chef Fang heard this, the smile on his face suddenly froze. He thought that the lady was looking for him, but it turned out that she wanted to sell bear paws.

He sighed inaudibly and asked doubtfully: "Can this bear's paw be turned into a dish?"

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come to you." Su Xiaoxi said with a smile, "Steamed bear paws, I will give you the method of making this dish, you just follow it. But there are only two bear paws. It’s good that someone confirms the order and then cooks it.”

"It's natural. I'll ask the waiter to put out steamed bear paws as a new dish later. When someone places an order, I'll start cooking."

Chef Fang started to get a little excited. He hadn't made bear paws yet, "Then please teach me how to make this steamed bear paws?"

Su Xiaoxi has never done it because black bears are nationally protected animals in modern times. How could she have the courage?

However, she had seen this dish in the recipe introduction for the Manchu-Han Banquet.

So she wrote down the process of making this dish and gave it to Chef Fang.

Chef Fang took a look and didn't expect that the bear paws also needed deer antlers. Deer antlers are precious, but they can only be used as side dishes. This shows that the bear paws are also very precious.

Chef Fang carefully put away the recipes, and then asked Su Xiaoxi, "My dear lady, how do you sell these bear paws?"

Su Xiaoxi stretched out five fingers and said, "Just give me five hundred coins."

When Chef Fang heard that the most expensive dish in Zuixianlou cost one or two silver dollars, five hundred coins was not expensive at all, so he readily took out the money and gave it to her.

Su Xiaoxi happily took the money, and just when she was about to leave, Chef Fang said to her: "My dear lady, if you have fresh dishes in the future, remember to come to me!"

"okay."

As soon as Su Xiaoxi left, Chef Fang asked the waiter to hang a sign announcing today's new dishes at the door.

After a while, the waiter came in and said: "Chef Fang, someone has placed an order for this steamed bear paw!"

So fast!And the price he listed was still two taels.

Chef Fang's face showed joy and he immediately entered the kitchen and started working.
