The elder brother who travels through is hard to do

Early the next morning, Xu Bei went to set up a stall by the pier as usual. The business in the morning did not decrease because of yesterday's accident. Instead, it took a shorter time than before to sell out the materials prepared in the morning, and received them early. stand.

Seeing that Xu Bei did not increase the supply of two kinds of food because of the good business, but as usual, let the stall owner who imitated him sell food next to him feel relieved. Seeing Xu Bei's actions yesterday and Zhang The protection of these strong men has also made them rest a lot of careful thinking. Although their business is not as good as Xu Bei's, they can still get some credit. Customers who have not caught up with Xu Bei's stall will also transfer Go to their stalls and let them earn some hard-earned money after a day.

"Minqing, wait for me here, I'll send these pancakes to Brother Zhang and the others." Xu Bei said to Xu Minqing who came with him today, holding a few pancakes.

"Understood, brother, you can go." Xu Minqing said while cleaning up the stall.

As soon as Xu Bei turned around, Xu Minqing had already tidied up the stall, waiting with a few pieces of paper in his hand.Xu Bei was happy when he saw him, put his shoulders on him and pushed him towards the teahouse, Xu Minqing walked forward with his strength, turned his head and asked curiously: "Brother, do you really want to push these two people?" The formula is sold?"

Xu Minqing was still a little surprised, where did the eldest brother know these recipes? Before the death of the parents, the father and the eldest brother were always busy in the fields, and the kitchen was the mother's place. Apart from helping to pick up vegetables, they rarely let the men cook.However, Xu Minqing knew that her mother's cooking skills were always good, and her mother also said that their aunt's cooking skills were the best. Xu Minqing also had a few times in his impression that the dishes made by his auntie were indeed delicious, better than restaurants. The chef here.

The few times we met, I always felt that my aunt was a little different from the members of their family, and my aunt's attitude towards him and my elder brother was also a little different.Perhaps, these recipes were learned by my mother from her aunt and then passed on to her elder brother. Xu Minqing found an explanation for his elder brother in his heart.

"Sell! Of course, I will sell it to whoever gives me the money!" Xu Beili said bluntly. Back then, he also bought formulas from others, and seeing the booming business here, some people were already jealous. , Brother Zhang and the others are here these few days, plus yesterday, no one will bother them for the time being, but Brother Zhang and his boat will leave one day, and those people will not be allowed to find a snack stall at that time , it is better to take the initiative to exchange for silver.

The recipes he listed last night are more than the ones that are sold now. He doesn't think there would be no market in ancient times for the popular snacks in modern times.But he set his sights on the teahouse first. If the teahouse goes well, he doesn't need to make other people's ideas.

"Well, I trust Big Brother."

While talking, the two brothers came to the teahouse. The shopkeeper Sun of the teahouse saw them and greeted them with a smile: "Boy Bei, why don't you have time to bring your brother to our teahouse this morning? I told you before that we will provide you with food every morning." A bucket of bean curd in the tea house, is there any result?"

The teahouse also serves breakfast early in the morning. Since Xu Bei started to deliver food to the teahouse, more and more customers like to order a bowl of hot bean curd in the morning, accompanied by other snacks for breakfast, so the shopkeeper of the teahouse wants to let Xu Bei also specially provided a bucket of ready-made bean curd and the matching ingredients. Xu Bei only said to think about it before, but he didn't give a positive reply.

It is not difficult to make bean curd, and there are other food stalls that sell bean curd, but after trying it, the bean curd made by other people's home is not as smooth as Xu Bei's, which is why the shopkeeper of the teahouse came up with Xu Bei's idea.

"Yes, I came here today to discuss this matter with the shopkeeper. Shopkeeper Sun, can we find a place to sit down and talk?"

"Okay, okay, boy Bei, and boy Qing, come this way." Shopkeeper Sun stroked his beard and smiled as he led the way.

Shopkeeper Sun took the two brothers to a special box. The second served a pot of tea for the three of them and left. Xu Bei handed a piece of paper in front of Shopkeeper Sun before he could speak. After taking a look, he straightened his eyes immediately, and looked at Xu Bei suspiciously: "Brother Xu Bei, what does this mean?" What was written on the paper were the specific steps of making bean curd, including the ingredients to be poured on the bean curd. Chu, this kid can't just give him this formula for nothing.

Xu Minqing sat on the side without saying a word, just watching his brother do things.

Xu Bei laughed, rubbed his head and said, "Shopkeeper Sun, I must be looking for you to discuss business, but this tofu curd is not worth much, and there are some snacks here. Even if the bean curd is put in it, it will be given to the shopkeeper."

Shopkeeper Sun didn't expect this kid to come out like this. Isn't he afraid that he didn't like other food recipes and wasted the cheapness of bean curd?At a glance before, he already understood the secret of Xu Bei's tofu curds being smoother than others.Moreover, those who can come to their teahouse to eat breakfast can be regarded as having some status in this town. Xu Bei's two kinds of food, except for bean curd, are acceptable, and the pancakes are made of coarse grains, which are the most eaten by the guests in the teahouse. It's fresh, but it's not on the table, so it's not suitable for entering a teahouse for a serious business.

How could Xu Bei fail to see the mind of the shopkeeper? In his previous life, he was not a small person who was always at the bottom. Later, he was also considered a successful person. How could the scenes he had seen in the occasions he visited and seen were comparable to the shopkeeper of this teahouse? How could he walk into this teahouse with confidence?

In fact, this teahouse is somewhat similar to Cantonese morning tea in his previous life, but the dim sum they sell is not as exquisite. Of course, he didn't want to copy all the things he saw in his previous life. The things he sold were actually ordinary things, which suits him better. The current status is not.

"I know Shopkeeper Sun doesn't like cheap food like pancakes, but with a little change, it can be put on the table. Shopkeeper Sun will take a look at this." Xu Bei handed over another piece of paper, which was not the recipe for pancakes, but It is a golden egg cake, and a series of egg cake families derived from it.

Those who have identities dislike coarse grains that do not conform to their identities, so they can replace them with fine white noodles. Spread a layer of egg liquid on top, the white and golden colors complement each other, and then cut into pieces to make a platter that looks good. This grade Naturally, it went up. Of course, the most important thing is his blind seasoning sauce, which is the real recipe he wants to sell.

He also provided a sweet and sour jam. Tomatoes, a species that can be used as a fruit and a vegetable, have not yet appeared in this era. Otherwise, tomato sauce would be more suitable and the color is beautiful, but it can also be replaced by other jams, especially Children like to eat sweet and sour food.

Shopkeeper Sun was a little unconcerned at first, but unexpectedly the more he looked at it, the more surprised he was. It was not the food recipe Xu Bei provided, but his divergent ideas. After a little bit of eating experience, Shopkeeper Sun discovered his own train of thought. How narrow it is, it turns out that business can also do this.

Now he will never say that these pancakes are street food that cannot be served on the table, as Xu Bei said, it depends on who has them and how to make them.

Shopkeeper Sun blushed a bit for his previous thoughts, but business people are naturally thick-skinned. Shopkeeper Sun looked like a good-natured guy, but he was also shrewd inside, and praised with a happy expression: "Brother Xu Sure enough, I have an idea, the old man is ashamed, little brother, don’t worry, I did this business with the little brother, and I also know the current situation of the little brother, and I will definitely not let the little brother suffer. But I also have something to say, the little brother is this way You can only sell my family, and don't go to other houses, okay?"

Xu Bei rolled his eyes, and guessed that the shopkeeper had guessed his original plan. He did plan to transfer the two eating methods to other people in the catering business by the pier. Selling a few copies would be a lot of money. , but if the shopkeeper can give him a satisfactory price, it is not impossible, so he said with a smile: "It's easy to say, since shopkeeper Sun is so sincere, Xu Bei will not make it difficult for shopkeeper Sun."

Shopkeeper Sun chuckled. This kid is not slippery. I didn't expect that he was a natural good at doing business. Seeing that Xu Bei still had a few pieces of paper in his hand, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Brother Xu is so good at eating." Research, I don’t know if there are other ideas, although our teahouse is small, but the boss has more than this teahouse, the boss has always thought of developing food business.”

"Brother Xu, I will be the master today. I will buy your omelet recipe and two sauce recipes for 50 taels of silver, okay?"

Xu Bei understood that he was throwing bricks to attract jade, and that 50 taels of silver was already beyond his psychological price. He didn't expect that Shopkeeper Sun would be so generous, so Xu Bei naturally couldn't be stingy.Last night when he was making a list of snacks, he thought of the Cantonese teas he had eaten in his previous life. Although he couldn’t list all of them, it was enough to take out one or two, so he listed two more on the list. Time to shoot.

Now the shopkeeper Sun is generous, and he happened to take it out to reciprocate, so he took out the two food lists of shrimp dumplings and siu mai. These two are more representative foods in Cantonese tea, both in appearance and taste. , is also what he likes, he has observed the breakfast in the teahouse, and there is no similar one.

The shopkeeper was already very interested in seeing the introduction on the paper, but it was not as real and intuitive as the real thing, so Xu Bei volunteered to go to the kitchen and spent some time making these two snacks, as well as the delicate version of the omelette.In his previous life, he was single all the time. Since he didn't have any special hobbies, he had more free time later, so he started thinking about eating, and he also liked to taste all kinds of food from all over the world. After a long time, even if he didn't deliberately Going to learn cooking skills is not bad.

When the shrimp dumplings and siu mai were out of the oven and served on the table, even Xu Minqing sat down to taste them together. Although Xu Bei's cooking was not exquisite, the presentation was quite eye-catching. The transparent shrimp dumplings, even the crystal clear soup inside You can see it, take a bite, the umami taste of the shrimp and pork makes people's throat roll, and bamboo shoots are added to it, which reduces the greasyness of the first two, and the shopkeeper looks excited after eating one.

Controlling his mood, after tasting another siu mai, shopkeeper Sun knew that he had accidentally picked up a treasure this time. He thought it was just adding one or two breakfasts to the teahouse to attract customers. People's things, I didn't expect him to miss them sometimes.

"Brother Xu, let's sign the contract right away. We want these two foods. Brother Xu must promise that we will not sell them to another company." Shopkeeper Sun immediately made a decision. Are these two foods going to be used in the teahouse? He still can't decide, he has to report it to the boss first, and let the boss make the arrangements. In the past few years, the boss has been letting them collect food in private, so as to knock on the door of the nobles. The two kinds of food now show him an opportunity .

"No problem, I won't sell it to another company except for our own food. Don't worry about the shopkeeper. In addition, I'm a rough man, and the work I do is not delicate. Shopkeeper Sun can ask the chefs in the kitchen to think about it. , the dim sum made by then will definitely be higher-grade than the current one." Xu Bei reminded that based on his foundation, the appearance and taste can be improved several levels, and there is no shortage of smart people in the world.

"Haha, thank you little brother for your suggestion."

Xu Minqing's eyes were squinting on the side, and he was very happy that his brother could make a business. This would greatly reduce the burden on the elder brother, and the snacks made by the elder brother were indeed delicious.

Shopkeeper Sun immediately sent someone to send the Four Treasures of the Study, and called a middleman, and signed a contract, indicating the responsibilities and obligations of both parties, the price of the prescription, and the consequences of breach of contract. Xu Bei asked Min Qing to read it carefully and make sure there was no problem before pressing Fingerprints, I got 250 taels of silver in my hand, and when I left the teahouse, Xu Bei was already happy to see his teeth but not his eyes.

"Let's go, talk to your brother Zhang, and then pack up and let's go to the county town." Xu Bei said with a smile.

"Okay, my younger brother will always follow my elder brother." Xu Minqing looked up at his elder brother and said seriously.

Xu Bei happily touched his head, and pulled him to the pier together.

The two talked about their future arrangements as they walked. Two fast horses galloped past them. A gust of wind blew up fallen leaves and dust, almost blinding their eyes. Xu Minqing squinted his eyes and let out a light sigh.

"what happened?"

"Brother, I met those two people right away." Xu Minqing said looking at the two figures going away.

Xu Bei also glanced at it. It is rare to see a horse galloping on the street, and the clothes of the two people were not ordinary, and asked in surprise, "Minqing, how did you see such a person?"

"Brother, you forgot the first time I delivered bean curds to the teahouse, because those two people were of unusual identities. Although I only glanced at them, I was deeply impressed. The two people who were on the horse just now were them, and they seemed to have something. Leaving the town urgently." Xu Minqing explained that it was the first time he saw such a person, and he would not easily forget it, so even though he just passed by in a very short moment, he still recognized him.

"So that's how it is..." Xu Bei muttered a few words, maybe some noble person, but he couldn't get in touch with them, so he didn't take it to heart.

The two who rode away were Zhu Kangcheng and Lu Yunzhi. Before they could take any further action, the Fourth Young Master sent a letter to Feige to summon them to go back immediately. Things changed, and the two of them dared not delay for a moment. Do everything in your hands and rush to Yanzhou.

&&&

"I'm leaving now?" Zhang Meng was also very surprised by Xu Bei's speed. Although he knew that he had this intention before, he could save some money for staying in the town. bigger.

His newly recognized little brother's mobility is really top-notch.

"Yeah, thanks to the care of Brother Zhang and several brothers during this period, otherwise it would not have been so smooth. It is the greatest luck in my life to know Brother Zhang and you," Xu Bei said, patting his chest, "Brother Zhang will have something to do in the future. Even though I told my younger brother, I dare not make any excuses. I have already decided to send Minqing to the Xingzhi Academy in the county. I believe that with Minqing's ability, I will definitely be able to get in. Brother Zhang only needs to go to the academy to inquire about it in the future. , I will definitely find out the whereabouts of the little brother, and the little brother is waiting for you, Brother Zhang, in the county."

"Good boy, it seems that the harvest is not small, so it's a deal. Next time I come over, I will definitely look for you. Kid Qing, Brother Zhang is a rough person who doesn't understand those intellectual things, but since your brother If you say you are a good person, then it will definitely work, maybe when you pass the exam, I can use your name to brag about you, Brother Zhang, haha..." Zhang Meng patted Xu Minqing's thin shoulder hard, Almost made him stagger.

Xu Minqing blushed and said, "I will try my best. My brother and I are waiting for you, Brother Zhang, in the county."

"Don't bully my younger brother, my younger brother can't bear your strength, Big Brother Zhang." Xu Bei hugged him immediately, making Zhang Meng and the others laugh even louder.

"If you don't come to say goodbye to us, we will almost say goodbye to you. The boss sent a letter urging us to go back. We may see you again in the future. This iron sign is kept, and it may be used in the future."

Zhang Meng finally left a black iron sign for Xu Bei. Xu Bei asked Min Qing to identify it. It was written with the word "Bingyi". Solemnly put it away.

After paying the rent and packing their luggage, the two brothers hired an ox cart and left the town for the county seat. It was less than a month before they left Shangpo Village.Before leaving, Xu Bei asked Min Qing to write a letter and asked someone to send it to the uncle in Shangpo Village, explaining the two's whereabouts, so that those who cared about them would not worry about them.

As for the little Wang who lost her money and lost face, she naturally did not tell the real situation to the big Wang after she returned, but sued Xu Bei again, saying how rude and unfilial Xu Bei was, and how she tried to persuade her, But Xu Bei scolded her and drove her away. The Da Wang raged again in the room, scolding Xu Bei's brothers and Xu Xingda and his wife underground.

But no matter how much Xiao Wang concealed it, rumors of what happened in the town spread to the village. When the big Wang's scolding came out of the yard, some insiders secretly laughed at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. The strange gazes of others didn't take it seriously, and people who knew the truth would not tell her this. When rumors spread in the village again, she would have nowhere to complain.

The new rumor is that Xiao Wang and Xu Guihua, sisters-in-law, actually forced Xu Bei brothers out of the town. Some people said that they heard Xu Guihua admit to persecuting Xu Bei's nephew with their own ears, and some people saw Xu Bei's nephew with their own eyes. He and Xu Minqing left the town in a bullock cart. The old Xu family really wanted to kill them all.

Because after a period of time, the higher authorities did not ask about the killing of Xu Xingda and his wife, so some villagers slowly let go of their previous worries and began to sympathize with the brothers.Someone in the town saw Xu Bei running a small business by the pier, but Xu Guihua took over all of this business, even refusing to give them the last way to survive. How could the old Xu family have such a heartless person.

People always sympathize with the weak, and Brother Xu Bei is undoubtedly a pitiful person who is oppressed in their minds.

However, the business between Xu Bei and the shopkeeper of the teahouse did not get any news. If they knew that Xu Bei had 250 taels of silver in his pocket, they would probably accuse Xu Bei of being unfilial again.

Xu Guihua's situation is even worse than Xiao Wang's. No matter how much the villagers scold, Xiao Wang can't hear her when she hides at home. Besides, she is thick-skinned. We can't beat her up and scold her. After all, we are from the same village. We don't see each other when we look up, and we still get together to talk after a few days.

But Xu Guihua's shop was there, but there was no way to move it or change its location. When Luo Changshun came back, he knew what his mother-in-law had done, and wanted to kill her, but after seeing his crying son, he had to He put his hand down and scolded for a while, still unable to relieve his anger.

What a businessman pays attention to is reputation, Xu Guihua has a reputation of persecuting her nephew, how many customers are willing to come to Jixiang Grocery Store?This is not something that time can kill, not to mention that they can't afford to wait for this time. If the backlog of goods in the store cannot be sold, it will be a loss.

Two days later, after seeing that the business in the shop had dwindled, Luo Changshun forced Xu Guihua to apologize to her nephew. No matter what, she had to bring the two nephews back and confess them like ancestors, so as to clear their reputations. .Xu Guihua had no choice but to put down her son to find someone, but was told that her nephew had been bullied by her aunt and left the town.

Xu Guihua was so angry that she almost vomited blood and fell to the ground. She was the one who forced the shop to fail, but why did she force her nephew to leave the town?How can there be such a reversal of black and white!

Dingbei Wangfu, Yiyuan.

Zhu Kangcheng and Lu Yunzhi stepped into the study room together, the two of them didn't even have time to change their clothes, so they came to see the Fourth Young Master first when they came back.

Sitting on the wide seat was a slightly thin and handsome man, with those dark eyes that were different from his pale complexion. Hearing the sound of footsteps coming in, he raised his head and looked at the two of them with a smile on his face. He whispered: "Kang Cheng, Yun Zhi, you are back." At that moment, it seemed as if he heard the sound of a hundred flowers blooming.

Everyone said that the fourth son of Dingbei Palace is the most beautiful man in the Northland, but it's a pity that he was born weak and not a long-lived man.
