Xiaoyao Nongjiazi

Since entering Hongtai Restaurant, Tong Shi has been a little bit reluctant, not only her, but almost all Zhong's family members during this trip.It's not bad for them to do this, the Zhong family has an ancestral business, and the direct branch of the clan can be said to be prosperous, and the clan members are somewhat knowledgeable, but even so, they are still quite restrained.

At the beginning, Tong Shi was very embarrassed to send the master chef, if she didn't hold the exclusive secret recipe in her hand, she might not even have the courage to enter Hongtai Restaurant.It's all right now, seeing the way Chef Wang's eyes are shining, I feel a little more confident in my heart. I used to lower my head and chest, and not squint, but now I dare to look up at people.

When Zhong Qingran heard the movement, he turned his eyes to the door, just in time to see his grandma's head held high, and she almost didn't laugh out loud.

Following Xiaoer's movements, the room was filled with the fresh smell of fish, causing Zhong's family to swallow their saliva unconsciously.

Shopkeeper Zhou picked up a few chopsticks and tasted each, his face remained calm, but he made up his mind in his heart that he must buy this prescription.The way to deal with the fishy smell of the Great Zhou Dynasty is pretty good, but the most feared thing in everything is comparison. If you compare the two, you can judge whether they are superior or not. The taste of these two fish is better than before.

If he couldn't win it, it would be difficult for the owner to explain it. Shopkeeper Zhou has his own account of how much he will pay.He lowered his eyes and rolled them slightly: "30 taels, including two dishes and the way to remove fishy smell."

The rest of the Zhong family looked at Mr. Zhong in unison, and it was up to his decision whether it would succeed or not.

Mr. Zhong thought that the price would not be high, but he did not expect it to be so low.Although 30 taels seems a lot, just the third child and the second chef in his family, the salary plus rewards for a year is about ten taels, let alone the chef.Forget about those two dishes, the key lies in the deodorizing recipe, which is of great value.

However, Mr. Zhong also knows that it is not bad to have such a price. How can ordinary people dare to compete with these merchants?Merchants have support behind them, let alone farmers bullying them, it is good not to be bullied in reverse.

"50 taels, Hongtai Restaurant exclusively enjoys the secret recipe, and we are allowed to do small business in places other than Pingyang County, it will not affect the business of Hongtai Restaurant."

Hongtai Restaurant has a good reputation. Shopkeeper Zhou is a qualified businessman after all. For a recipe that might bring the restaurant to a higher level, he did all kinds of tricks, and he was reluctant to give up even a small amount of money. It really wasn't his way. He didn't write any more ink, and when he heard the price offered by Mr. Zhong, he readily agreed.

After the two parties discussed it properly, shopkeeper Zhou asked someone to draw up a contract, and when the ink was dry, he pushed it in front of Mr. Zhong.

Mr. Zhong could only read a few words, so he could barely read the contract. After reading it, he handed it over to Zhong Qingran, who was the only one who could read. It was an extra guarantee.

Zhong Qingran knew that as a junior, it was best not to speak casually, thinking about the situation at home, and thinking about his own identity, it was impossible for him to really think that he was a child and put forward his own opinions after reading the contract.

"As for the issue of confidentiality, shopkeeper Zhou, my family can only ensure that it will not be spread by our side. If your store spreads it, or someone else finds out by themselves, our Zhong family will not be responsible for it, and this must be included in the contract."

Zhong Zhengli opened his mouth, seeing that no one else, including his parents, had any objections, so he didn't say a lesson.This third nephew is really not something he can talk about casually.

Shopkeeper Zhou only noticed Zhong Qingran at this time, and couldn't help but take a second look.

Not to mention Zhong Zhengli, the second chef is not an ordinary person, and he can be regarded as having a white face and a round body.In addition, among the people present, Zhong Qingran was the most attractive. There was no trace of hard life on his face, his cheeks were rosy, and although his complexion was not as good as Zhong Zhengli's, it was a little fairer than the others.He is very fleshy, not short, and has a strong body. Although he hasn't grown yet, he can already foresee that he will be a handsome young man in the future. Apart from his clothes, he can't compare with the children of rich families, there is not much difference in other things.

If Zhong Qingran knew that shopkeeper Zhou treated him like this, he would definitely refute him a few words.He has been recuperating from illness in recent months, and the food is better than before, which is why he is so healthy. In the past, I am afraid that only the physical fitness can be regarded as good, but the others cannot be compared with the present.

Shopkeeper Zhou didn't make things difficult for Zhong's family. Since Mr. Zhong kept silent, it meant that he acquiesced to Zhong Qingran's behavior.After a little calculation, he knew that it would not have a substantial impact on Hongtai Restaurant, but it was a little regrettable that there was one less convenience to control Zhong's family.After thinking it over, shopkeeper Zhou asked someone to draw up a new contract.

The peasant family is not too young for Zhong Qingran's age, and it is obvious that the family loves him very much, and such a slightly out-of-the-ordinary behavior did not attract too much attention from Shopkeeper Zhou.

After the contract was transcribed again, Zhong Qingran read it out for the Zhong family one by one according to the content above, and after confirming that it was correct, Mr. Zhong signed and marked it, and the transaction was considered complete.The rest was left to Mrs. Tong. In order to avoid gossip, Mr. Zhong also followed shopkeeper Zhou to the kitchen.

Not long after, only Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhou and shopkeeper Zhou were left in the kitchen, and all the idlers were cleared out.

Mrs. Tong carefully practiced "Small Snails with Sauce" and "Spicy Red Crayfish" from the ingredients to how to cook them from beginning to end. After the shopkeeper Zhou read them and tried them, he immersed himself in writing.

After explaining everything in detail, Mrs. Tong offered the most important condiment—ginger, and cooked a simple braised crucian carp on the spot.Although the taste cannot be compared with that cooked by Chef Wang, shopkeeper Zhou, who knows the goods, can see the effect of ginger slices at a glance.What made him a little unacceptable was that this thing was really too simple, no wonder the Zhong family tightly covered it, it was really worthless once it was said.

A flash of remorse flashed in Shopkeeper Zhou's heart, and he was soon pressed down. He didn't take 50 taels of silver seriously. There was no need to fold the signboard of Hongtai Restaurant for such a small amount of money. Although there was a little dissatisfaction in his heart, he still faced Send Mr. and Mrs. Zhong away with a smile.

One thing counts for another. After the business is done, the Zhong family will not be taken seriously by shopkeeper Zhou. What he should consider is how to keep it secret. If he only adds this seasoning, he will be recognized within a few months. It is still a conservative estimate, if you are unlucky, you may be spotted by your opponent in less than ten days and a half months, and the benefits brought by the 50 taels of silver are not enough to look at.

After leaving the restaurant, the Zhong family and his party turned away from Zhong Zhengli, and walked out of the alley, only when they walked out of the alley did they recover from the shock.This is too easy to make money, as long as you do this a few times, the Zhong family will enter the ranks of small riches.But they also know that this is a whimsical idea. If the money is really easy to earn, they have paid it a long time ago, so why wait until now?And indeed it is.

The geographical conditions of Hewan Village are good, and life is much better than that of the villages in the poor valley. High-quality fertile land costs seven or eight taels of silver per mu. In this way, 50 taels of silver is only enough to buy six or seven mu of fertile land, which is not as much as imagined. Even so, no farmer would consider this a small sum of money.

You must know that when the number of self-owned fields is insufficient, even if the farmers earn a lot of money throughout the year, they will not have much money on hand.why?The reason is that as soon as farmers have spare money, they want to use it to buy land and other things.However, there are very few farmers who buy property with surplus every year. Most of them still live in a tight life after the separation. It is easy to live a few days of good life. The days are getting harder and harder, and we have to rely on debt to survive.

The fifth house, Zhong's family, has been going downhill, and their life is getting more and more difficult. When it comes to Mr. Zhong, they can't even afford to support a student, and they will inevitably be looked down upon by the other four house chiefs.

As soon as Mr. Zhong got the money, all he wanted was to pay off the debt, and then used half of the money to buy a few acres of land, and the rest was used for the tuition and examination fees of the youngest son, and the dowry money for the eldest granddaughter.

Seeing the street, Mr. Zhong put away his mixed thoughts and ran towards the market with his sons, while Zhong Qingran went to work with Mrs. Tong.

All the ingredients brought by Zhong's family, whether it is small snails or red crayfish, have been wrapped up by Hongtai Restaurant.There are a lot of these things outside, especially small snails. You can find a lot of them on the banks of small streams and rivers, and you can’t sell them at a high price. At least for the restaurant, there can be six or seven pennies a catty.This is the preferential price given to them by Hongtai Restaurant. If other people come to sell it, it is estimated that they will not even have this price.After these aquatic products are widely recognized by the public, it is estimated that the price will rise.

Mr. Zhong's age was considered an old man in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but now he looks like a man in his prime, and his strides are particularly vigorous.Thinking that with this money, the family will be able to relax a lot, the old woman will no longer have to pay for it, and it will be better if the third grandson can eat and use more carefully. Mr. Zhong feels that the whole person is full of energy.

It's not that he doesn't know the family situation, but no one has any preference. The third grandson saved the lives of a large family. He deserves some blessings. Besides, he didn't treat others badly, at least he didn't starve them. Who in the family Don't have any private money?He and the old woman both turned a blind eye to these things. As far as this point is concerned, their family in Hewan Village is notoriously tolerant.

Mr. Zhong held such an idea, and couldn't bear the other people in his family not thinking so. He knew this very well, so he wanted to save some family property for his third grandson while he was still able to move. This time was the best time.

If there is too much, it is difficult to deal with it. If the sons and daughters-in-law have complaints about buying an acre of land under Qingran's name, they will not be embarrassed.After all, the large amount of money this time was earned by the third grandson. Most of the income of the unmarried man in the family has to be handed over. After deducting this part, the rest is enough to buy one or two acres of land. This is not his preference. The Zhong family has always had the rules It's all like this, if anyone refuses to accept it, he will hand over all his private houses. I believe no one will be so stupid.

Mr. Zhong knew that even though this was the case, when the number reached a certain level, people would ignore the previous rules and just stare at the shining silver.As the head of the family, how can he control so much, this time it's not because he favors them, it's because they are unreasonable to make trouble.

Thinking of this, Mr. Zhong had a smile on his face, and found a place to start the seller's odds and ends.
