daily struggle in ancient times

Shopkeeper Tong took a deep breath, thought over and over again, and finally said cautiously: "I wonder if I can try it?"

Although the color and aroma of this bacon are top-notch, you have to taste it to know how it tastes.

At first, he asked the chefs in the Northland to try to make this stuff, but every household made different bacon recipes, and the taste was not satisfactory, which did not meet his expectations.

So even though he was excited, shopkeeper Tong still had doubts in his heart.

Huo Cheng still had confidence in Wei Yun's bacon, so he readily agreed.

The shopkeeper gave orders, so the kitchen went all out, and soon, a plate of delicious fried bacon with garlic sprouts was served on the dining table.

The chef is an old man from the Dong family. He is a good craftsman and loyal. The whole dish is red meat with red garlic and green garlic. Occasionally, you can see the white garlic that was burnt yellow by the noise, which is tangy and attractive.

In terms of color and aroma, it has passed the test, Tong shopkeeper thought, he raised his hand to pick up the vegetables, ready to taste the taste.

Although Mother Wei did not formally teach Wei Yun how to make bacon, she has told him the ingredients and method many times.In Mother Wei's heart, bacon is not only a delicacy, but also a warm and happy home in long-lasting memories.

Although this home is no longer there, she still hopes to re-touch it through some things, and these familiar tastes are the best medium.

Wei Yun has heard countless times of Weimu's chanting, watched Weimu's pickling countless times, and eaten countless times, so even though no one taught him, he instinctively wanted to pursue the same technique and taste as Weimu when operating .

Therefore, as soon as he entered, Shopkeeper Tong's eyes widened in surprise.

This is the taste!

This kind of smoky flavor that people in the north will feel a little strange at the first bite, is the favorite and most daily bacon for people in the south!

He put down the bowl reservedly, barely suppressed the excitement in his heart, cleared his throat and commented: "It's okay."

Huo Cheng glanced at his excitedly shaking feet under the table, lowered his eyebrows and looked noncommittal.

Shopkeeper Tong clicked his tongue, thinking that this man looked like a farmer in his clothes, but his performance and knowledge did not seem like a farmer.The other party obviously came here after inquiring, so he must have a good understanding of his own situation.

After thinking about it, Shopkeeper Tong gave up his original idea and asked, "I wonder how much this bacon will cost?"

Huo Cheng took a sip of the hot tea in his hand, and said unhurriedly, "Forty Wen a catty."

"Forty Wen?" Shopkeeper Tong couldn't believe it.

Nowadays, a catty of meat costs about 22 cents, but a catty of pork cannot make a catty of bacon. Air-drying, smoking and pickling will cause the moisture in the pork to lose and evaporate.

Including the cost of shipping and seasoning, Shishiwen basically didn't make much money.

He frowned slightly, and said vigilantly, "What conditions do you have?"

Huo Cheng slightly raised the corners of his lips, "Shopkeeper Tong is indeed a smart man!"

Shopkeeper Tong curled his lips, rolled his eyes secretly, and complimented politely: "Where is it, I am just a few years older, and I am not as young and promising as you."

Huo Cheng didn't care if he got such a hidden sentence, and calmly put forward his own conditions: "Selling the forty coins to you, the shopkeeper, is almost the cost price. Therefore, the monthly income of Tongjia Restaurant related to bacon, after deducting the cost, I want [-]%."

Shopkeeper Tong's eyes shrank suddenly, wishing to curse, but Huo Cheng's next words made him swallow his anger.

"But this item will only last for five years. After five years, all the recipes for bacon will be presented. In the entire Qingyuan County, only Tong's family has my bacon." Huo Cheng put the cup in his hand on the table and made a crisp sound sound.

Shopkeeper Tong's eyes suddenly became complicated. He was really moved by the price of [-] cents. [-]% of the profit sounds like a lot, but compared with the prescription that can be obtained in five years, it is completely worthless.

Besides, they still have [-]% of the profits themselves, so anyone would be tempted by such a condition. This person is completely playing cards while pinching other people's bottom line.

Huo Cheng lowered his eyes, not missing the struggle in Shopkeeper Tong's eyes.

This price and conditions were carefully thought out by him. Qingyuan County is a mixed bag, and if the Tongjia Restaurant can stand for so many years, there must be a backer behind it.The profit of the bacon business is not small, and the real rich will not be jealous, but it still attracts many greedy eyes.

Giving Fang Zi to the Tong family is actually a kind of surrender. With the Tong family standing in front of them, they can completely hide it.

Besides, the price of forty wen is not really unprofitable. Qingyuan County is more prosperous than Ping County, and things are much more expensive than Ping County. Pickling is a little cheaper here.Therefore, the forty coins are definitely profitable, and the profit is not too small.

Shopkeeper Tong was very excited, but the rhythm being controlled by others made him very aggrieved.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and said calmly: "Your Excellency is really resourceful."

Huo Cheng had no expression on his face, and replied unhurriedly: "The shopkeeper Tong has won the prize, but he is just a countryman."

Country people, if all country people are as knowledgeable as you, then he should not be the shopkeeper.

Although he was unhappy, shopkeeper Tong didn't dare to say anything excessive.

This bacon tastes better than all the bacon he has ever tasted, and the person who made it obviously has a completely different recipe from the ones made by ordinary people, it is more refined and more delicious.

"I don't know your surname? Where does this bacon come from?" This kind of taste usually only exists in those homes with Zhongming Dingshi, but such homes have never sold food to outsiders, let alone publish their recipes. to the public.

"Your surname is Huo, this bacon is just made by my husband." Huo Cheng said.

Shopkeeper Tong didn't believe it, but Huo Cheng's mouth was very strict, and he couldn't find out anything else except this little information.But shopkeeper Tong was completely unwilling to let the fat duck he got away like this.

Knowing that Huo Cheng brought more than [-] catties of bacon this time, shopkeeper Tong thought about it, and then discussed: "Brother Huo, how about this, I want all the bacon fifty cents a catty in your hand. Try it in the store, if it sells well, then we can talk about it according to the method you said, how about it?"

Huo Cheng glanced at him with a half-smile, and said: "Wu Jin, if Tong's Restaurant does not reply within three days, I will have to find another buyer. Qingyuan County is so big, there is always a restaurant that can do this business." .”

Shopkeeper Tong gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

When the shop waiter went back with them to pick up the things and left, Huo Dayong and the two brothers were full of admiration, "Dacheng, you are really good! It's only the first day, and you've made a deal!"

Gu Hongzhi looked at the excited faces of the two brothers, thought for a while, and asked Huo Cheng: "It's not just the five catties, is it? Did you tell the shopkeeper of the Tong family about other things?"

After all, this person has a criminal record. The last time this person went back to the business, he spent a large amount of medicinal materials. He did not lack vision and courage, but this time he only managed five catties of bacon. He didn't believe it.

Huo Cheng didn't intend to hide it from them. Although these three had different personalities, they were still very strict with their mouths, so he told all about the discussion with Shopkeeper Tong.

Huo Xiaoyong opened his mouth wide, unable to utter a word, only three big words in bright red remained in his mind: Get rich! ! ! !

Huo Dayong was not so optimistic, and said with some concern: "What if the Tong family disagrees? We are not familiar with the place where we live, and he is a local snake. If we really rob him..."

Gu Hongzhi was not too worried, and comforted him after hearing the words: "Probably not. The Tong family has been passed down in Qingyuan County for several generations. They are well-known good people in the county. It's not that there is no enemy, if the Tong family really dares to rob, we are not helpless."

Even when the time comes, they are afraid that they will suffer some unreasonable disasters, and they will even fetch water from bamboo baskets in vain.

Huo Cheng shook his head, "I won't get to that point. Huang's Restaurant has recently hired a chef from Nandi with a lot of money. Although the chef from Tong's family can also cook Nandi dishes, but the two sides are fighting, the food in their hands The more cards you have, the better. You will never push a potential card to your opponent."

Population movement is strictly prohibited in Dazhou, and those who run businesses are fine, but if they live in one place for a long time for more than three months like the chef hired by the Huang family and do not change their household registration, they will be thrown into prison.

But the transfer of household registration is not so easy. Without the order of the court, it is a capital offense to relocate without authorization. The Huang family paid a lot of money this time to get this cook from the south.

Gu Hongzhi grasped the problem keenly, "Since the Huang family has chefs from the Southland, it is likely that the Huang family will also have bacon. This is not a unique business."

Huo Cheng: "For now, the chef invited by Huang's family has not yet arrived, and it takes time to make the bacon." And they just happened to be able to seize the opportunity through this period of time.

"How do you know? Is the news reliable?" Huo Dayong was a little puzzled. It was only the second time for Dacheng to come to Qingyuan County. How could he know so much about this place?

"A story told by an old man."

Seeing that Huo Cheng didn't want to say more, the others wisely didn't ask.

Anyway, the Tong family had already taken the bacon and left, so they just had to wait for the result.

While everyone was waiting anxiously, an unexpected visitor also ushered in the small courtyard of the Huo family.

Wei Yun was woken up this morning by his churning stomach. As soon as he woke up, he vomited frantically, and his whole body was moaning.

Brother Wei was so scared that he burst into tears, and walked around behind him like a fart all morning, seeing him happily eating after vomiting, he felt a little relieved.

Although Aunt Huo had some guesses in her heart, seeing how he ate and drank after vomiting, she felt that something was wrong. She felt that it was just a simple stomach upset.

Wei Yun didn't think about that, he just thought that he might not have eaten something right, but Aunt Huo insisted on inviting the doctor, and he slowly came to his senses, and a strong anticipation rose in his heart.

Fearing that she was really pregnant, Aunt Huo didn't dare to ask Wei Yun to find the doctor, so she went in person, and Wei Yun waited at home with the two children.

Who knew that Aunt Huo didn't wait to come back, but waited for Huo Er and his wife first.
