Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 38 Loach Business
The crispy loach in the evening is not only pleasing in appearance, but also won the appetite of old man Yang. After eating it, Mrs. Yang and Li no longer feel bad for her bowl of peanut oil, and she has been thinking about how to get it to sell in the town.

Dishes like loach cannot be prepared and sold directly, that would be too troublesome, the best way is to sell recipes.

Thinking of this, Chunqiu sneaked to Mrs. Yang and Li's house after dinner.

"Grandmother, let's go sell the prescription." When Chunqiu entered the room, he saw Mrs. Yang and Li sitting on the Kang and counting money again, and he didn't care whether he would disturb the other party by talking directly.

"What? Hey, what kind of recipe are you selling?" Mrs. Yang and Li couldn't get angry when she was interrupted suddenly, but she heard the seller's face unwilling, "My dear granddaughter, this is our family's unique secret recipe, no It is said that the entire Heishan Town, and even the entire Linfang County is the only one, how can you sell it as soon as you say it, this is our family’s ancestral secret recipe, if you can’t sell it you can’t sell it.”

Yang Li's head shook like a rattle, how can this be sold, and she plans to pass it on forever.

Chunqiu looked at Yang Li's expression and knew it was like this, her grandma really loves money, "Grandma, we can't look at it like this, it's just that I used a bowl of oil to fry today's loach, if our family If you really want to make it yourself and then sell it, how much will it cost, will anyone buy it? Also, this is not the most important thing, the important thing is how can our family sell it every day, how tiring it is," Chunqiu said Here, I found that Yang Lishi's face was a little loose, and then continued, "Grandma, if we sell the recipe, it won't be such a trouble, as long as we have time to send loach, and one recipe, sell it in a restaurant , but a lot of money.”

After listening to Chunqiu's explanation, Yang Lishi was obviously not as resistant as before, and his face was still a little excited, but his eyes kept staring at the distance, and he didn't speak. He just stooped to look outside, and then stretched out his hand to signal Chunqiu to come over.

When Chunqiu reached the edge of the kang, Mrs. Yang and Li suddenly reached out and pulled Chunqiu up.

"Grandma's granddaughter, is what you said true? Can you really buy it for a lot of money? Is this recipe really worth that much?" Yang Li whispered into Chunqiu's ear.

"Really, grandma, look at the restaurants in our town, which dish is not worth more than a dozen yuan and a small plate, and our recipe is the only one in the entire county. What does this mean? Their shopkeepers are not stupid , must know more than we do, our family’s prescription should not be worth 20 taels at the very least.” Although Chunqiu looks at her face and swears, she is nervous to death in her heart. She doesn’t understand the living conditions of this dynasty, but 20 taels But her eldest brother and second brother spent a year, if they could really sell so much, it would be worth it.

"Oh, it's quite a lot according to my good granddaughter. It's true." Mrs. Yang and Li lowered her head and thought, if it is true that a recipe can sell for so much money, her house can be built next year.

"Grandma, I have other recipes here. If someone buys them at that time, we will give away two. If you don't believe him, he won't buy them. Loach is a good thing. You can see that it is everywhere in the field. It’s also cheap, and how much is their only one selling?” Chunqiu analyzed on his lips, but he was thinking about which two prescriptions should be given as a gift. How should I put it, don’t think that she sells it expensive. No one has ever eaten carp and loach, so the potential for development is huge, and it is really not expensive to sell for so much money. Not to mention anything else, just sell this recipe at will, and you can get it back.

"What my good granddaughter said is the same reason, just do what my good granddaughter said, tomorrow you and grandma will go to town together." Yang Li didn't even think about how to blow it up and sell it. Her good granddaughter's method is better than hers, just sell it directly It can be sold for a lot of money without much effort.But as for the 20 taels that the good granddaughter said?Mrs. Yang and Li were dissatisfied. This might be the only one in the entire Tianyu Dynasty. How could it be sold so cheaply!But these things are still not discussed with the good granddaughter. After all, the good granddaughter is too young, and it will be enough to share the money together at that time. Mrs. Yang and Li have already thought about how to divide the money.

When Chunqiu went back, she turned to her second brother's study and planned to write two prescriptions for tomorrow, but she forgot one thing, that is, she wrote only simple characters, and she couldn't write traditional characters. , In ancient times, she was still illiterate!

Chunqiu had no choice but to drag Yuan Shi out. She asked her mother to write the recipes for loach health soup and hot soaked loach, and the recipe for crispy loach before going back to her room to rest.

"Mother, grandma and I will go to the town to sell prescriptions tomorrow," Chunqiu looked at Yuan Shi and said.

"Selling prescriptions? Did you ask your mother to write the prescriptions for you? Are you selling them? Someone bought them?" Yuan's family background is good, so reading and learning calligraphy is no problem, but the girl asked her to write prescriptions for food. Son.

"Of course someone bought it. This is for money. It's all money." Chunqiu waved the white paper in his hand, smiling like a god of wealth.

"You're just looking for money, little money fan." Yuan Shi stretched out her hand and pinched Chunqiu's nose, teasingly said.

"Hmph, mother, you just wait for tomorrow." Chunqiu saw Yuan Shi's obvious disbelief, and only asked Yuan Shi to wait tomorrow.

"Okay, mother is waiting, how about waiting for Niuniu to bring back the big ingot for mother?" Yuan Shi took off Chunqiu's shoes and put them aside.

"Yeah, it must be a big ingot," Chunqiu rolled back onto the kang with a grunt.

"Go to sleep, grandma will beat you if you don't wake up tomorrow." Yuan Shi pulled Chunqiu over and began to undress Chunqiu again, while urging Chunqiu to go to bed quickly.

Chunqiu didn't speak, and when Yuan finished her busy work, she got under the covers and fell asleep.

Before dawn the next day, Chunqiu was called out by Yuan Shi, and asked Yuan Shi to dress her and put her shoes on without moving. Girl, go find grandma, mother is going to go to the fields."

"Yeah, I got it, mother." Chunqiu nodded and walked towards the door.

Mrs. Yang and Li have already packed everything, and brought all the loach from yesterday, and packed a little bit of the crispy loach that was fried before, ready to give others a taste.

"Qiu'er, come here quickly, we should go" Yang Li shouted towards the door.

Chunqiu nodded when she saw it, and hurried to the ox cart. Her uncle Yang Weimin was delivering the goods today, and Chunqiu and Yang Lishi were sitting in the car. The three hurried on their way before dawn, and waited until dawn Yes, they also arrived at their destination.

The restaurant that Mrs. Yang Li chose was the Xiangkeju that ordered steamed stuffed buns from her house before. Chunqiu heard from Mrs. Yang and Li that this Xiangkeju is not the only one in Heishan Town, but basically every prosperous place. At that time, Mrs. Yang Li said I was still very envious when I heard it, Chunqiu thought about it after hearing it, isn't this similar to those branches in Hyundai!It seems that the price of this loach can be raised.

After half a hour, Xiangkeju opened the door. The waiter yawned and removed the door panel. He saw Yang Weimin who was parking not far away, and immediately greeted him, "Brother Yang is here? It's really early today."

"Hehe" Yang Weimin scratched his head, "I have something to talk to the shopkeeper today, I don't know if the shopkeeper is here?"

"You said shopkeeper Wang, you are here, brother Yang, come in quickly, by the way, just send the buns to the kitchen." The waiter in the shop smiled.

"Oh, I'm sorry, bro." Mrs. Yang and Li got off the bullock cart.

"No trouble, come in quickly," the shop waiter said, throwing a white cloth over his shoulders, and carried the buns with Yang Weimin.

Mrs. Yang and Li looked left and right, stretched out her hand and led Chunqiu into Xiangkeju.

The lobby of Xiangkeju is very large, enough to accommodate dozens of people, not including private rooms on the second floor and private rooms on the third floor. Chunqiu shakes his little head to look left and right. There are really decorations in ancient times. Luxurious restaurant, she has opened her eyes.

In addition to the first time when Mrs. Yang and Li came here to talk about the steamed stuffed bun business, today was also the second time. She was also a little nervous, clutching the basket tightly, and staring at the surrounding environment with narrowed eyes. Stay in a corner.

"Isn't this Mrs. Yang? But what happened?" Shopkeeper Wang saw Mrs. Yang and Li when he came down from the second floor. As for the table, after all, it will be open soon.

"It's Shopkeeper Wang!" Mrs. Yang Li greeted with a smile when she heard the voice.

"Ms. Yang, please sit down. What are you looking for with Wang?" The shopkeeper Wang looked like a middle-aged uncle. He looked richer and his eyes were always squinting, like a Maitreya Buddha.

Mrs. Yang and Li pulled Chunqiu to do it with some anxiety, but she didn't know how to speak, and the scene was a little awkward for a while.

"We're here to sell the recipe, the shopkeeper, don't rush to talk, you'll know after you try it first." Chunqiu's crisp voice came from behind Yang Lishi, and the shopkeeper Wang noticed that there was a child here.

"Oh? The seller?" Shopkeeper Wang was a little surprised. After all, the prescription in the restaurant was probably related to eating.

"Well, shopkeeper, you should try it first." Chunqiu nodded, but didn't say anything about the prescription. He just pushed Yang Li's basket on the table to shopkeeper Wang, and removed the flower cloth on it, revealing the crispy loach.

"This?... can it be eaten?" Shopkeeper Wang looked at the plate of small golden things in front of him, and lowered his head to meet Chunqiu's bright eyes.

"Yes, shopkeeper, you can try it," Chunqiu said seriously.

"Then I'll give it a try." Shopkeeper Wang reached out and took out one, took a look, and put it in his mouth. It was crispy, crispy, and still very firm. Shopkeeper Wang also put the remaining piece in his mouth.

"

Well, not bad, crispy and soft, with endless aftertaste, it is a good appetizer." Shopkeeper Wang squinted his eyes and commented.

"Is the shopkeeper satisfied?" Chunqiu said.

"Satisfactory, it's really delicious," said shopkeeper Wang with narrowed eyes.

Chunqiu received it satisfactorily, and looked at Mrs. Yang Li, who then reacted and said, "Shopkeeper, this is the food recipe we are going to sell. What do you think?"

"Are you going to sell this? That's good. I'll buy it." Shopkeeper Wang patted the table happily.

"Don't worry, shopkeeper, do you know what this is made of?" Yang Lishi had already adjusted at this time, smiling like a chrysanthemum on his wrinkled old face.

"This? I really don't know." Shopkeeper Wang looked carefully and shook his head.

"It's the loach in the field," Yang Li said with a smile.

"Loach?" Shopkeeper Wang was surprised. It was the loach that no one was eating. Looking at the plate in front of him, shopkeeper Wang had already calculated in his mind that this recipe should be bought. You must know that loach is not edible. People can know.

"Ms. Yang, where did you get the prescription?"

"To tell you the truth, it's passed down from our Yang family's ancestors. If it wasn't for the education of a few brothers, we wouldn't have sold it." Mrs. Yang and Li cried out sadly as she spoke.

Chunqiu: She is good at acting!

Shopkeeper Wang really didn't doubt it anymore, because he also knew the two people who went to school in their Yang family.

"Ma'am, let's talk about a price, we Xiangkeju bought it." Shopkeeper Wang's face was full of embarrassment.

"Shopkeeper, I don't want to lie, 100 taels, I'm giving you two other prescriptions, what do you think?" Mrs. Yang and Li showed her shrewd temperament at this time.

Shopkeeper Wang frowned, shook his head and said, "No, it's too expensive, how about 50 taels, it's not my decision."

"80 taels, it can't be less. This is the only one. Shopkeeper Wang, you can take care of it. Others can't do it." Yang Li gritted his teeth, and said less than 20 taels, crying in his heart .

Shopkeeper Wang looked at Yang and Li's appearance, and he probably couldn't get any cheaper, but 80 taels is really not expensive. As far as he knows, there is no such prescription in Qingyang County, so it seems worth it.Immediately, the decision was made and agreed, "Okay, 80 taels, Aunt Yang, let's write a sentence, Auntie can't sell the prescription to others, it's no problem, right?"

Li Shi Yang shook her head repeatedly after hearing this, "No, our Yang family is not this kind of people."

"Hehe" Shopkeeper Wang smiled, "I can rest assured of Mrs. Yang's character."

"The shopkeeper is refreshing. This is the recipe for crispy loach. The remaining two are other recipes. If you don't understand anything, the shopkeeper can come to our Yang family at any time." Yang Li took the 80 taels of whole Silver, holding tightly in both hands.

"Well, Mrs. Yang, go slowly," shopkeeper Wang said.

"You're welcome, shopkeeper." Mrs. Yang and Li pulled Chunqiu and turned to leave with a smile.
