Reborn peasant girl: I became rich overnight by traveling to sea

The courtyard of the Guo family has inexplicably become a place to entertain guests of the Liu family.

Not only Chang Pingning, but also Ye Xiuying didn't react much.

Ye Xiuying went to Butler Liu to ask, and learned that the Liu family had planned to set two tables for dinner today, but unexpectedly some children were unwilling to go back and wanted to wait at Guo's house for the food they had gotten from the sea.Therefore, Miss Liu suggested that the table for the women and children should be placed at Guo's house.

But Butler Liu knew that when his master made such a decision, he definitely did not discuss it with the Guo family.

"The matter is sudden, please bear with Madam Guo." Butler Liu said, handing Ye Xiuying a small bag and shaking it with the sound of coins.

Ye Xiuying was originally a little dissatisfied: the nobles who needed Ning Ning to take them to the sea were delayed too much at home. Even when she was supposed to go to the sea in the evening, she went to Qiu Hong's house to ask for clams.

So when Ye Xiuying faced the money bag handed over by Butler Liu, she did not refuse and accepted it after saying a few polite words.

Meng Xia, who was serving the dishes on the other side, was also explaining to Chang Pingning why they wanted to serve dinner at Guo's house.

"I was thinking that there is a barbecue grill in your yard. Maybe it can be put to use and let us make a lot of money!" Meng Xia's tone was very excited, but soon became depressed again, "I didn't expect that the ones I picked up today were not suitable. Cooking barbecue, ugh.”

Only then did Chang Pingning realize: It turned out that the plate of conch that Meng Xia prepared earlier was actually a temporary idea?

Chang Pingning was shocked. Just when she wanted to say something to Meng Xia, Butler Liu came to her and asked her to divide half of the seafood processed today so that he could take it back to Liu's house and feed it to the male guests at Liu's house.

After all, it was seafood picked up by their respective children.

Chang Pingning figured this out, nodded quickly, went to the kitchen and divided half of it out. At the same time, she told Butler Liu that because some of the food was too slow to spit out, she used seafood from other people in the same village instead.

When Chang Pingning brought all the seafood to the table in the kitchen, she stepped back and watched Meng Xia appear in front of everyone with only one large conch on the plate.

The ladies and their children in the yard were stunned when they saw the conch presented by Meng Xia. They had never seen the conch presented in such a way, and it looked so exquisite that it made people think. Have a taste.

Meng Xia saw the expressions on everyone's faces with his peripheral vision, and couldn't help feeling a little proud.She placed the plate in front of Miss Liu, exchanged excited looks with Liu Qingwan, and then looked at the people in front of her.

"Madams, this plate of conches was made for my lady alone when I saw there were conchs in the basin of the Guo family. If my hands were itchy, ladies and gentlemen, if you are interested, you can pay to have a taste. Meng Xia said, reaching out and gesturing with three fingers.

"If you like it, if you come to Liu's house again in the future, you can let me make a separate portion." Meng Xia added, and after finishing speaking, he lowered his head and had no intention of continuing.

All the noble ladies looked at each other, but only Mrs. Zeng had the courage to ask: "How much is three? How much does it cost per bite?" There was a little eagerness and curiosity on her face.

Chang Pingning, who was standing aside, saw that the round-faced young man next to Mrs. Zeng had the same expression. Chang Pingning looked at the mother and son and suddenly felt that young Master Zeng's delicious temperament must be related to the environment.

After hearing Mrs. Zeng's question, Meng Xia looked at Mrs. Zeng with a smile.

"When I return to Mrs. Zeng, it's the price of one mouthful. Because there are not many conches and conch meat today, I can't make a portion for everyone. But I made this specially. I don't know if Mrs. Zeng still remembers the Liu family's previous meal. The seafood banquet was specially made by me.

"I remember that time you should have come to Liu's house. As for 'how much', it depends on how much Mrs. Zeng thinks my craftsmanship is worth." After Meng Xia finished speaking, he smiled at Mrs. Zeng.After hearing this, Mrs. Zeng had a somewhat hesitant expression on her face.

When the other nobles heard this, they felt a little dissatisfied: when they were going to the sea, they had to make money by selling barrels and tongs. Later, they were going to the divers to process seafood and they were paid again. Now even a mouthful of conch meat, This cook still charges money!
But they dare not express their anger, and even if they are "angry", they are just "angry" in their hearts.After all, what this cook means is most likely what the Liu family means.And so far, they haven't given much money.

Thinking of this, they all looked at Mrs. Zeng, intending to see how much she would pay for a bite of conch meat. The price given by Mrs. Zeng was the standard for their next reference.

Even if Miss Liu didn't say anything on the spot, if the other ladies saw that she was being treated lowly, they would not have the shame to come to the party together later.

Thinking of this, the others looked at Meng Xia angrily, feeling that she was just a cook and there was really no need to play this trick. It would be better to just give them a definite price.

Meng Xia seemed to sense the dissatisfaction of the other ladies with her, so she took out a piece of cloth, covered it on a wooden board nearby, and told the ladies in front of her.

"If there are other ladies who are also interested in my special conch meat, you can put the coins you think are worth it on this board and cover it with a cloth."

The dissatisfaction on the faces of the other ladies subsided a little, and they were explaining to themselves: the people in their small place are still incomparable with the guests in the capital, and they should spend their money sparingly.

The ladies are looking at each other, not wanting to stand out, and some of the children around them have already started shouting that they want to try it.

Finally, while complaining about her son Zeng Haorui, Mrs. Zeng led him to Meng Xia, grabbed a handful from the money bag, put it on the wooden board under cover, and covered it with a cloth.Then I took a bite of conch meat.

Zeng Haorui also followed suit. He grabbed a handful of money from his purse and took a bite of conch meat.

Chang Pingning looked on blankly. She didn't expect that Meng Xia would set the price in this way.She was a little curious about how much money Meng Xia would receive tonight for that plate of conch meat.

Others came forward one after another, mostly greedy children.Therefore, some were given one portion of money, and some were given two portions of money.

This evening, no one paid much attention to Chang Pingning's processed dishes. Everyone was talking about the conch meat that Meng Xia made.

And when they were about to leave after the meal, Meng Xia took the initiative to say that they had not paid Madam Chang the processing fee.

After hearing this, Mrs. Zeng was the first to take out some money and hand it to Chang Pingning.

"The dishes tonight are very good. I saw Butler Liu brought some dishes, and I couldn't tell which ones were made by you. If Chef Meng hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten that you also processed seafood for us. It’s just a matter of time. In the future, we need to be more confident and the price should be higher. People will pay for it.”

Mrs. Zeng encouraged Chang Pingning. Obviously, she was very satisfied with the Guo family's dinner.

Upon seeing this, other ladies also rewarded Chang Pingning with money and praised her for her good craftsmanship.

Okay, today is considered the third update.
