[Red House] Release a concubine and have children

The boss snatched the chili flower from his son's arms in disbelief, then grabbed a chili fruit stiffly and stuffed it into his mouth——

"What the hell is this? I'm so hot!"

The proprietress quickly poured him a cup of herbal tea, and he immediately poured it into his mouth. After drinking one cup, it was not enough, so he turned around and picked up the teapot and poured it into his mouth.

After a while, the spicy taste disappeared from his mouth.

After the boss calmed down, he subconsciously began to match the taste of chili fruit with Mr. Ling Tongue's description, and then he had to admit that the two were indeed probably the same thing.

But a chili flower costs several hundred taels of silver in the capital, and in Bazhou, because he used this chili flower to make a big splash in a restaurant, he fired it to a sky-high price. , where to buy it?

Not to mention anything else, even for the chili flower plant in his hand, no less than five people wanted to buy it from him for no less than 1000 taels of silver.

It's just that he refused all of them for the sake of the restaurant's reputation.

Now, that Zhou Gong noodle stall, which can't even afford a storefront, is so proud to use chili flower as a seasoning, and the noodles it makes are sold for less than ten copper coins?

How can it be?

The boss was reluctant to part with the money, and he was also reluctant to use the only chili flower into the dish, so he peeled the chili pepper and dried it in the sun, and handed it to the noodle chef in his restaurant. Ask him to use this seasoning to make small noodles with the same taste as Zhou Gong's noodle stall.

If the taste is different, it can mean that the seasoning of Zhou Gong's noodle stall is not chili flower, right?

Although he knew that his behavior was a bit deceitful, but the boss thought about the connections and gold and silver it would cost to buy a chili flower, so he could only force the chef with this idea.

It's just that whether he wants the finished product to be the same as Zhou Gong's noodle stall or not, he himself is not sure.

The chef has a real skill in making noodles.

Seasonings and sauces are also incomprehensible, not to mention that there are other chefs in the restaurant who are curious and have offered to help.

So soon, a can was served on the boss's table with a very similar taste to Zhou Gong's noodle stall, but with a slightly different seasoning.

There is also a bowl of noodles next to it.

The boss picked some oily chili peppers and put them into the bowl, stirred them for a while, then picked up a chopstick and put them into his mouth.

After a while, the boss put down his chopsticks: "It's the same."

He is a restaurant owner, so he naturally knows that the difference in taste does not lie in the recipe itself, but in the chef's personal craftsmanship.There is a □ degree of similarity, which is enough to show that they did not find the wrong thing.

The boss was not happy.

Looking at the glowing red noodles, he ate them almost as if venting his anger, completely ignoring the greedy expressions of others.

After eating, he went home and took the pepper plant that he would never bear to touch, and got into the carriage, and left.

Kaifu City went to the outskirts and came to a farm of his own: "Old Liu, can you see if there is a way to grow this pepper flower by yourself?"

Lao Liu is an old farmer who has been farming since he was a child, and his farming skills are not known to many farmers. In addition, he has learned some skills in planting flowers and trees from his father since he was a child, and he also has some experience in tending flowers and plants.Although it is not as good as those gardeners who only make money from flowers and plants, the boss trusts him.

Old Liu had never seen chili peppers before, so he asked, "Is this for food, or is it a flower? The way to care for crops and flowers is different. If you don't say anything, even if the little old man has some skills, there is nowhere to start."

After all, the boss handed him a single seedling.

The boss also wondered whether the chili flower is a flower or a vegetable spice, but thinking about his own use, he said cruelly: "Crops, this is grown to make food seasoning."

Lao Liu responded to the task: "This little old man is familiar with it, and it is feasible."

The boss endured the heartache and left the chili on the Zhuangzi before returning to his home in Fucheng.

Just getting started, I heard my son rushing out anxiously: "Daddy, daddy, didn't you say that the business of Zhou's noodle shop is booming, is it because of the chili flower? How can there be only one plant in the house? It just so happens that my son arrived today. When I was buying a maidservant there, I heard that he had a chili flower in his hand, so I bought it with money. Dad, please come in and have a look, that chili flower looks beautiful!"

The boss was pleasantly surprised at first, and then realized something, turned his head and looked behind——

Many pedestrians on the road stopped immediately when they heard his son's cry, and now they were looking at him with bright eyes.

It's over, the secret he obtained with great difficulty, was actually publicized by an unfilial son like this!

As if struck by lightning, the boss raised his hand, picked up the stick in the servant's hand and hit his son: "You bastard, let me see if I don't beat you to death!"

Fu Li and the others still don't know that chili pepper is the biggest trump card of Mr. Zhou's noodle stall.

The noodle stall has been too busy recently, and she hasn't been home before dark for a long time.

This day was also because she suddenly felt dizzy when she was busy, and she couldn't hold on, so she told Zhou Gong and others, and after leaving Aunt Tian, ​​she returned to the small courtyard she rented ahead of time.

Unexpectedly, when I arrived at the intersection, I bumped into the second sister-in-law Sun, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, holding Dalang, stumbling towards her direction.

Fu Li quickly stopped him, and when he raised his head, he found that Mrs. Sun's face was full of tears.

"Sister-in-law Sun, what's wrong with you?" Fu Li was taken aback, "But what happened to Da Lang?"

The second sister-in-law Sun shook Da Lang in her arms, and shook her head: "Da Lang is very good, it's me... I just had some conflicts with the head of the family, and now I don't want to stay at home, so I plan to go back to my mother's house to rest for a few days. But you, in the past I'm not helping Zhou Gong all the time, I won't come back until evening

Come on, why did you come back so early today? "

Fu Li looked at Second Aunt Sun's face, and found that her expression had calmed down, and she didn't look like she was going to do something stupid, so she reluctantly felt relieved.

She rubbed her lower abdomen, shook her head and smiled: "Maybe it's because I've been too busy recently, and I can't stand it anymore, so I came back to take a rest."

In fact, Fu Li's body has been feeling a little uncomfortable during this period, but she just thought it was because she suddenly started to work hard and her body was not used to it, so she didn't take the signal from her body to heart.But today is more than half of the day's work, and she has a faint pain in her lower abdomen, and her body is even more exhausted and lacks energy, which makes her really unable to persevere.

It just so happened that this time was approaching the menstrual period, so Fu Li wanted to rest for a few days to take good care of his body——

Anyway, she is not short of money for the time being, Ruo Mian Tan is really busy during the few days when she is on leave, she will pay for another trustworthy helper.

It was also during this time that I was so busy that I never went to Qian Da to ask him if he had found a suitable candidate: I said before that it was impossible to find a capable and trustworthy person in a short period of time, and now it has been several days , Qian Da can't be repaid without any signs, right?

There is also her own small courtyard, which needs to be cleaned up by someone.

She thought that if she had more help, she would be able to come back sooner. She and Mrs. Tian would help each other, and naturally they would be able to keep the house clean.But I didn't expect that there were more people helping the noodle stall, and the number of customers also increased, and the work became busier. The small yard has not been cleaned up these days.

She made up her mind, and couldn't help showing a little bit on her face.

The second sister-in-law Sun has calmed down now, and she is not as excited as she was when she was quarreling at home. Seeing this, she settled down and asked her seriously: "Now that the noodle stall's business is good, I should tell Duke Zhou not to save the two money for hiring people. If you make money, but you are tired and sick, isn’t it worthwhile? You are a charming girl, and you are not short of money, so you can just do one or two things at home, so why go out and be so tired?”

Fu Li was stunned for a moment, remembering that Second Sister-in-law Sun still didn't know that she had a share of the noodle stall's business, and probably thought she was just doing chores at the noodle stall.

The second sister-in-law of Sun cared about her, and Fu Li naturally appreciated it, and what she said was also very reasonable: "We are too busy during this time, and we can't find a suitable helper, so we are a little tired. We will recruit help after a while. There are not so many people at the noodle stall, so naturally I won’t help.”

She doesn't want to tire herself out.

The same goes for Zhou Gong and his wife. When the chili flowers are sold and the store is settled, they can just let Zhou Gong and his wife be shopkeepers in the store, and the back kitchen will be handed over to the hired people——

Now only Fu Li can produce a lot of peppers, as long as she is not such a vicious employee who wants to harm others, she is not afraid of others learning the recipe of the noodle stall.

At worst, she will start a price war with others to see who can beat her.
