Madam, go home and farm

Chapter 186 Buying the Recipe

Sending Hong Haozheng and his wife away, Puhuang and Hong Haoan cleaned up the kitchen, and sat in front of the big window in the bedroom, watching the drizzle outside the window, and a lot of green grass grew in the cracks in the stones by the well, swaying gently in the wind with.

"Seeing my cousins ​​and cousins ​​this time, I feel that they have changed a lot." Pu Huang held the teacup and drank tea time after time. Looking at Qin Wan this time, compared with the person in his impression last year, has his temperament changed? At least, Miss Qianjin is still Miss Qianjin, but she no longer has the feeling of superiority. This time the couple did not bring their servants and maids with them, which is rare.

"Indeed, Haozheng has changed a bit, not as obvious as his cousins." Hong Haoan nodded. After Puhuang and the others went out to buy vegetables, he talked a lot with Hong Haozheng. Hong Haozheng felt confused. He insisted, and the Hong family uncle and the Guan family naturally didn't say anything. After all, they were from the city, so they treated her indifferently.

Hong Hao's business in the north is actually not that big. It was a partnership with a few people, and later it was dismantled. He moved back to Spring City, met people from the Qin family and then Qin Wan, and he was right.In the two shops in Chuncheng, the Qin family also helped with the current business.Hong Haozheng didn't feel that he was on the soft side, but he just felt aggrieved and couldn't implement many of his ideas. He had to consider many aspects of the Qin family. This time he came to Hong Haoan not only to talk heart-to-heart, but also to seek advice.

After hearing Hong Hao'an's explanation, Pu Huang somewhat understood Hong Haozheng's thoughts, "Oh, then what do you say, do you really want to consider doing shipping business?"

"I also advised him that unless he has a family to build his own ship, small merchants can only rely on those big merchants. In addition to paying a lot of money, they are also the easiest to give up when they are in danger, so I suggest him Doing seafood business, saying that Yuntongzhou has not developed yet, buy a few more shops, and help us look at a few." Hong Haoan laughed, poured a cup of tea for Puhuang, and bought a few in Yuntongzhou. There are two shops in the yard, we can live there if we want to.

"Buy a shop? Do we have enough money now?" The lo mei shop has been profitable for a long time, and it earns at least two or three taels of silver a day. The salted duck egg business has also earned 100 taels since last year. Looking at it Not many, in fact, it is completely restricted by the cellar, if it is bigger, it can do more.

"Leave some emergency money. I reckon that the yards and shops in Yuntong State will not be too expensive, and we don't need to buy too good ones." Hong Haoan counted the money in his heart and thought it was about the same, "Hao is planning to go there at the end of the month. Go to Yuntongzhou with the boat, I asked him to help buy, I can trust his vision."

"Well, it's up to you to decide, I have no objection." The shop is bought, rented out, and there will be some income, so there will be no loss.

"Miss, do we want to change to a bigger yard?"

"Huh? Why do you want to change, I think this place is good." After lunch, she was always a little groggy, and Puhuang couldn't react.

"It's too small to carry out activities, and if there are too many duck eggs, there will be no place to put them." This is what Hong Haoan is most distressed about and earns the most money. However, due to local restrictions, he cannot do more, and all he loses is money. ah!

Puhuang thinks so too. When the weather is hot, the pottery jars for pickling duck eggs cannot be placed on the ground. If the temperature is too high, it will easily break. People, whether there is a dug cellar warehouse, we can rent or buy it."

"Well, it seems to be true. I will talk to Aunt Liu in the afternoon and ask her to help me pay attention to Brother Cai and Brother Wei. I also ask them to ask people for me. After all, they have a lot of connections." Finally, in one place Hong Hao'an didn't want to let it go because he was familiar with it. If he could get a large cellar, it would be great to store pottery jars.

"Well, it's best to find it as soon as possible. The batch of salted duck eggs will be ready at the end of the month. Tianxianglou has ordered [-] eggs in advance, and there are businessmen who come to ask. You don't know how distressed you are to refuse that big deal!"

"Lady, don't worry, when the cellar is found, I will concoct a large amount of medicinal materials and ask the children of Youshantang to help. Twenty thousand is not a problem." Hong Haoan said with a smile, in fact, pickling duck eggs is not troublesome, but the trouble is The processing and grinding process of medicinal materials and spices.

"Don't get too excited too early. If we make [-] duck eggs at a time, we must buy duck eggs. You tell the duck farmers in advance that if you want a large number of duck eggs, you can increase the price appropriately. Less becomes more." Almost all the duck farmers around Chuncheng are familiar with it, but there are not many who raise a large number of laying ducks.

"Well, this is indeed a problem." Before buying duck eggs, it took about ten days and a half months to buy duck eggs. Those people have accumulated a lot to have this amount. If it is shortened to four or five days, I am afraid that half of the amount will not be found. .

"Don't think about it now, I want to sleep, do you want to take a nap too?" Chun sleepy, it feels really uncomfortable to not get enough sleep.

"Lady, go to sleep, I'll prepare the medicinal materials." Hong Hao'an suddenly leaned over and kissed Puhuang on the face.

Pu Huang was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Hong Hao'an to come up with this move, but seeing him turn around and pretend nothing had happened, she couldn't help laughing in a low voice, leaned over her head, kissed the corner of his mouth, and walked to the bed Lie down.

After closing her eyes, when she was a little dazed, she felt a familiar breath on her cheek, gently touching her lips.In the dream, Puhuang dreamed that she was walking slowly in a peach blossom forest, but as she walked, she felt that she seemed to have forgotten something, but she couldn't remember it.

"Mom, why didn't you wait for me? You clearly agreed to fly the kite with me." Suddenly, a little girl with pigtails appeared out of nowhere, held her hand, and said dissatisfiedly with her small mouth.

Pu Huang only felt a shiver all over her body. When she had a child, she just wanted to stretch out her hand, but she felt as if her foot was stepped on the ground. She opened her eyes and looked at the familiar tent roof. She breathed a sigh of relief. It's a dream.It's so strange, how could she dream that she had a daughter? Could it be that Mrs. Xu Li and the others talked about it too much, and she also thought about it subconsciously?
Shaking his head, Puhuang felt that he was thinking too much, looked out the window, the sky was getting dark, it seemed that it was going to be dark, and he felt a little cold, Puhuang put on a slack, when he went out, Hong Haoan really worked hard She was chopping the spices, "Lady, wake up, let's make noodles tonight, I also made red bean soup."

Puhuang first went to the kitchen to wash his mouth, and then came to the main room, watched Hong Haoan doing things, reached out and took a look, "Is making the recipe for dried fish?" Now she almost knows what ingredients are used for each recipe, they are just some concoctions. It is more troublesome to remember.

"Yes, a few days ago, Lin Dong's family came to me, and this time the amount will be increased, so it should be a line." Hong Haoan doesn't care what line Lin Dong's family is on, as long as he can make money, don't mess with me. Just get in trouble.

"Speaking of which, the Lin family is considered a big family in Bihu County, but in Chuncheng, it's just a middle-of-the-road. At first, I thought that if he could afford the price we wanted, it would be okay to sell him the formula of dried fish. It’s not impossible, after all, the cooperation is very pleasant, it’s a pity.” This kind of recipe can be passed down from generation to generation, and the asking price is not high, so it’s a pity to sell it.

"The Lin family has no money and can't afford it, but it doesn't mean there are no people who can afford it. We're just waiting. Why bother to look for it? People with insight will automatically deliver it to their door." Hong Haoan put the chopped medicinal materials in a plaque .

"It's fine if you don't meet those who rob and plunder." Pu Huang muttered, the second generation of rich officials and so on, it doesn't mean that they didn't meet.

"Probably not, miss, don't think about it, I'll make a face." Of course Hong Hao'an knew that there was someone with evil intentions, but he didn't want Puhuang to get in touch with too much.

Within two days, people who had ideas about dried fish came to their door. They went to the lo mei shop first, but they didn't find Hong Haoan, so they came to the yard.The sun was rare, so Puhuang went out of the city, planning to visit the place where the big tree raised rabbits, and pick some wild vegetables and mushrooms on the way back.

Hong Hao'an didn't know the two young men in front of him, and looked at them strangely, "You two young masters, who are you looking for?" Judging by their attire, they looked like handsome young men from a rich family. Thinking of going to the top of the businessman.

"We are looking for Hong Hao'an. I wonder if he lives here?" Su Yunxiao raised his hands in a bow, and said indifferently: "I am Su Yunxiao, and this is Qin Mo. I want to discuss cooperation intentions."

Su Yunxiao, Qin Mo?People from the Su family and the Qin family, what do they want to discuss?Could it be for the salted duck eggs?
Several questions flashed through Hong Hao'an's mind, but he probably knew the other party's purpose, and he had an idea in his mind. He nodded to the two people in front of the door: "I am Hong Hao'an, please come in."

Taking advantage of the time when Hong Haoan went to boil the water, Su Yunxiao and Qin Mo silently looked at the room, evaluating the possibility of success in this negotiation.

Hong Hao'an didn't prepare any special tea, he just brewed the tea that he and Pu Huang usually drink. How can such ordinary things be appreciated by these wealthy people, so he didn't pay much attention, "I don't know What do you two want to discuss with me?"

"Boss Hong is really straightforward. We came here for your pickled duck eggs. I wonder if you can sell the recipe to us. Of course, the price can be negotiated." Qin Mo took a sip of tea, felt that it was tasteless, and did not continue. Seeing that Hong Haoan asked them why they came straight to the point, he didn't go around and explained the reason directly. Compared with dried fish, he was more interested in salted duck eggs.

Is it for pickled duck eggs?It's a pity that he won't sell this formula, unless it is absolutely necessary, and he still wants to pass this formula down from generation to generation.The attitude of the other party was good, of course Hong Haoan couldn't lower his face, he shook his head: "I'm sorry, this recipe is not for sale."

"Boss Hong, don't refuse. You haven't negotiated the price. Besides, if we buy the formula, you can't do it yourself, can you?" Qin Mo was about to use his three-inch tongue to persuade Hong Haoan. It seems that everything can be valued.

　I originally wanted to write Baozi before, but think about it, there are still things that have not been resolved, so I will postpone it for now...
