Chapter 40 Pricing
After a while, shopkeeper Shi put a chopstick and a bamboo shoot with sour bamboo shoots in his mouth, but he didn't speak.

Relying on his young age, Su Jinli stretched out his hand to pull the shopkeeper's clothes, "Grandpa Shi, you have eaten a lot of sour bamboo shoots, and you haven't said whether you want to buy my sour bamboo shoots, so you can't eat any more."

After finishing speaking, Su Jinli smiled softly at shopkeeper Shi.

Shopkeeper Shi lowered his head and saw a white and tender little girl not higher than his waist, looking at him unblinkingly with big clear round eyes, and immediately blushed.

But the old man wouldn't be too shy to speak just because the little girl said a word. Instead, he squatted down, looked at Su Jinli and asked, "Little baby, what if I don't buy your sour bamboo shoots after I finish eating?"

Su Jinli's eyes widened in surprise, "Why? The sour bamboo shoots made by my aunt and grandma are the best. Why don't you buy them, Grandpa Shi?"

After finishing speaking, Su Jinli stared at Shopkeeper Shi for a while, and then suddenly realized, "I see, it must be because Grandpa Shi is afraid that no one has eaten the sour bamboo shoots, so he can't make it, and no one will buy it. That's why he didn't want it. "

While talking, Su Jinli patted Shopkeeper Shi on the back of his hand, then put his hands behind his back, and said like an adult, "If Grandpa Shi is afraid that no one will cook with sour bamboo shoots, let my second uncle teach you. The sour bamboo shoots made by my uncle are as delicious as those made by my aunt, so someone must buy them."

Shopkeeper Shi asked with a look of disbelief, "Little baby, your second uncle can cook? Why didn't I know that your second uncle worked as an accountant here, so you can't lie to me."

Su Jinli rolled his eyes, and took Zhou Zhoulang's hand, "If Grandpa Shi doesn't believe it, I'll let Second Uncle cook it for you and you'll know."

Shopkeeper Shi set his eyes on Zhou Zhoulang, "Is this your niece?"

Zhou Zhoulang nodded, "Uncle Shi, it's the little koi."

Shopkeeper Shi said, "Such a well-behaved and sensible child, no wonder you are willing to do it for her, not bad, since the little child said you can cook, go to the back kitchen and cook two dishes with bamboo shoots."

Zhou Zhou Lang told Zhou Yang, "Xiao Yang, take good care of my sister here, and my second uncle will come whenever I go." After speaking, Zhou Zhou Lang picked up the jar, put on the cloth bag, and went into the back kitchen.

The people in the back kitchen knew Zhou Zhoulang, and the shopkeeper Youshi greeted him, and soon a cook gave up a stove.

Zhou Zhoulang thanked him, took out the dried bamboo shoots, soaked them in warm water, and then prepared the seasoning and side dishes.

When the dried bamboo shoots were almost soaked, he took a small half of the chicken, chopped them into pieces and put them in a casserole. Then he added dried bamboo shoots and stewed them together. Then, Zhou Zhoulang began to stir-fry the sour bamboo shoots and fried pork with sour bamboo shoots. , will be out soon.

Tuesday Lang brought two dishes in front of shopkeeper Shi, "Uncle Shi, you should try these two dishes first, the chicken soup with dried bamboo shoots is still a while away."

Shopkeeper Shi took the chopsticks and tasted the two dishes made by Zhou Zhoulang, and then he gave a thumbs up in satisfaction, "Yes, these two dishes are good, Lao Zhang, come and try them too."

Lao Zhang was the one who gave up the stove to Zhou Zhoulang before. Hearing what shopkeeper Shi said, he picked up the chopsticks and tasted it, and his reaction was similar to that of shopkeeper Shi.

"I didn't expect that I have been cooking for so many years, and I didn't know that bamboo shoots can be cooked. It's good, sour, crunchy and refreshing, and it's very appetizing."

Old Zhang sighed.

Shopkeeper Shi also said, "Who says it's not, Lao Zhang, have you memorized the recipes of these two dishes?"

Lao Zhang patted his chest, "Don't worry, shopkeeper, I'll write it down."

Shopkeeper Shi said to Zhou Zhoulang, "Erlang probably doesn't mind that Lao Zhang learned your cooking, right?"

Zhou Zhoulang smiled and said, "What did Uncle Shi say, these two dishes were originally given to Uncle Shi, so why would I mind?"

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Shi patted Zhou Zhoulang on the shoulder, "That's right, Uncle Shi likes Erlang's straightforwardness, so how about it, I want sour bamboo shoots and dried bamboo shoots, you can tell me a price."

Zhou Zhoulang thought for a while and said, "Uncle Shi, sour bamboo shoots cost ten copper coins a catty, and dried bamboo shoots cost thirty copper coins a catty, what do you think?"

The sour bamboo shoots have moisture, and ten coppers per catty are acceptable, but for the dried bamboo shoots, thirty coppers, shopkeeper Shi felt a little expensive, so he said, "The price of the sour bamboo shoots is okay, but the dried bamboo shoots, Erlang, three Is ten copper plates too high?"

Tuesday Lang shook his head, "Uncle Shi, I'm not going to hide it from you. The price of dried bamboo shoots was negotiated by our family. This thing is more troublesome, and it is dried in the sun. There is no moisture. Thirty copper coins are already very reasonable." The price is too high, Uncle Shi also knows that with my temperament, I can't do those fake things, so it's worth as much as it is worth."

Shopkeeper Shi bowed his head and did some calculations silently, then said, "Okay, thirty coppers is thirty coppers, I'll take it, but after that, I have to see how the sale here is, if it's good, I'll pay this price If so, I don't want the dried bamboo shoots."

Tuesday Lang nodded, "It's natural."

Shopkeeper Shi asked someone to weigh them, and weighed the dried bamboo shoots and the sour bamboo shoots separately, ten catties of dried bamboo shoots and twenty catties of sour bamboo shoots, a total of [-] copper coins.

Zhou Yilang accepted it. At this time, the dried bamboo shoots and chicken soup is almost ready, so he went to serve it on Tuesday, "Uncle Shi, you can try the dried bamboo shoots and chicken soup."

Shopkeeper Shi held the bowl, took a sip with a spoon, and was immediately overwhelmed by the taste of chicken soup, "That's right, it has the freshness of chicken soup and the fragrance of bamboo. building signboard.

Seems tastier than sour bamboo shoots.

When Zhou Zhoulang heard this, he was completely relieved, and he smiled and said, "Uncle Shi, these dried bamboo shoots can not only stew chicken soup, but also stew pork bones and trotters. They are all delicious, but there is not enough time today to make them." , you can ask Chef Zhang to try to study it."

Shopkeeper Shi accepted Zhou Zhoulang's affection, "Okay, let Lao Zhang try to do it later."

After drinking a bowl of dried bamboo shoots and chicken soup, Tuesday Lang and shopkeeper Shi came to the backyard, and shopkeeper Shi talked about Zhou Yang's study.

"Uncle Shi, there is one more thing I need to trouble you."

Shopkeeper Shi said, "Erlang, you and Uncle Shi have known each other for so many years, if you have anything to say, just say it, whether it's troublesome or not, uncle doesn't like to hear that."

Zhou Zhoulang, "It's about my nephew's study. I just want to ask Uncle Shi if he has a connection with the county school, and see if I can let my nephew try it, and see if he can enter the county school."

As he said that, Zhou Zhoulang called Zhou Yang over, "Xiaoyang, come here to see Grandpa Shi."

Zhou Yang cupped his hands and saluted, "Zhou Yang has met Grandpa Shi."

Shopkeeper Shi looked at Zhou Yang, and was surprised by his humble and silent attitude, but he was not surprised when he thought that Su Jinli, a little doll, had the courage to say that to him.

Although he had never met Zhou Zhoulang's brother-in-law, he had heard people say that it was probably taught by that Su Xiucai.

Shopkeeper Shi raised his hand, asking Zhou Yang to excuse him, and said to Zhou Zhoulang, "I don't have much access to the county school, but at the end of the month, the county school will have an admissions assessment, you can let your nephew try it."
