People in Datang, start with a golden hoe

Chapter 81 081: Etiquette is light but affection is too heavy (please vote)
"Congratulations from the Prosperity Food Bank: ten taels of gold, ten taels of silver, ten taels of copper coins, and ten bolts of silk cloth. I wish the tofu shop great prosperity." The waiter who received the gift at the door shouted.

When Cai Xiaolan heard the waiters announcing gifts, she knew why Jing Guangli had left four waiters behind and set up a reception desk for her.

"This guy can handle it!"

Last time, he refused 50 taels, and this time he sent it back as a congratulatory gift.

Cui Lushi, who was also sitting outside the door, got anxious and cursed secretly, "Let me just say it, this bastard must have evil intentions!"

Cai Xiaolan thought that no one else would send congratulatory gifts except Jing Guangli.Unexpectedly, there was an endless stream of voices at the door.

"Congratulations from the Liu Clan of Guangling: A gold-plated God of Wealth..."

"Liu Zong of Liujiazhuang congratulated: [-] copper coins and some vegetables..."

"Rong Zu Lie congratulated: Ten copper coins, a bag of white flour..."

"Zhou Meihe: Ten chickens..."

……

"What's going on?" Cai Xiaolan was surprised. The people in Liujiazhuang were all neighbors. They knew about the situation and came to give gifts. Although it was unexpected, it was reasonable.But what's going on with so many people whose names I haven't even heard of?

She walked outside the door and saw a large group of plainly dressed people, holding various gifts in their hands, lined up in front of the reception desk.

"What's your name? What's your relationship with the master's family?" asked the guy in charge of bookkeeping.

"I was once saved by Mrs. Cai, and today I heard that she opened the business, so I came here to congratulate you!" The middle-aged uncle handed over the things in his hand.

Only then did Cai Xiaolan understand where those people came from.Tears filled her eyes as she looked at the gift-giving queue, which was longer than the tofu-buying queue.

"Auntie, you said this—" Cai Xiaolan didn't know what to say.

The things these people carry in their hands may be family dinners, or they may be "rare things" that they have saved for a long time.

"No, we can't ask people for gifts for nothing, we have to prepare meals!" Cui Lushi was also moved by the simplicity of the people.

She has received countless gifts, but this time today is especially precious.

After being reminded by her aunt, Cai Xiaolan suddenly realized, "Not only do we have to invite them to dinner, we also have to return the favor!"

Cai Xiaolan made a lot of paper deeds on the spot, and each paper deed said ten yuan of tofu.Finally, the seal of the tofu shop is printed.

"These paper deeds are a return gift. If someone gives you a gift, no matter how much, give them one in return!" Cai Xiaolan told the clerk who received the gift.

"I have reserved a table at a noodle shop on the street in front. Everyone must eat before leaving!" Cai Xiaolan asked Xu Yinlian to go to the noodle shop where they often go and reserve a running table.

Although it is called a "seat", it is actually just a bowl of noodles, a few plates of side dishes, and a few large pieces of meat.In such a difficult time, if you can have meat to eat, you must be a middle-class family.

……

Li Yunguang took a rest today and rested at home, while reading his son's letter from home, while waiting for the tofu to eat.

"Master, there is good news!" The third steward ran to the master to claim credit.

"What's the matter?" Li Yunguang was surprised.

"The tofu you are talking about is the Cui family's business. They happened to open today, and there was a long line of people buying tofu. And I heard that the tofu is all made of beans. Although I don't know how much tofu can be produced from a bucket of beans, but with the amount of beans For the price, this should be a good thing!”

"Okay, that's great!" Li Yunguang clapped his hands again and again, "Go to the account and get one or two gold ingots and ten ingots, and then take ten bolts of cloth, and come with me to congratulate!"

Wang Ji, who was far away in Liujiazhuang, also received a report from his servant. He didn't have that much money, but he also had good things.

"Prince servant, go to the backyard and get two jars of wine!"

……

When a distinguished guest came to the shop, Cai Xiaolan was too embarrassed to let her go to the noodle shop in front for a bowl of noodles. Instead, she made clear to the nine cooks, took a tofu box and left.

"Xiaolan, how about I stay? I'm not used to staying with those adults." Xu Yinlian took the initiative to stay. She and Cai Xiaolan cleaned up this place bit by bit.She couldn't bear to leave the open shop alone.

"Okay, thank you sister Xu." Of course Cai Xiaolan knew what the other party's purpose was for staying.

"In case someone comes to ask about joining later, please tell them to come tomorrow morning!" Cai Xiaolan took care of her.

Cui Lu's position was taken over by Xu Yinlian, and she accompanied Li Yunguang and his wife to Tianfu Jucai Residence.

Cai Xiaolan thought that there were only three or two kinds of vegetables at home, so she left the team and went to the market in the city, where she cut some precious pork and bought chickens and ducks.

Finally, I bought some seasonings.The last one she bought has been used up by her.

During her shopping trip, she specially passed by the Shengshi Grain Store and invited Jing Guangli, who had gone home without eating.

Cai Xiaolan, who had returned with a full load, was thinking all the way how many dishes she should use tofu to make Li Shishi and Wang Ji fascinated.As for Jing Guangli, a son of a wealthy businessman, Cai Xiaolan doesn't believe that he can eat anything good.

As soon as she got home and said hello to the few people drinking barley tea in the private room, Cai Xiaolan turned to the kitchen to work on her tofu feast.

The first course, steamed tofu with meat sauce.

The second course is fried tofu cubes with scallions.

The third dish is pork fried tofu.

The fourth course is stewed fish with tofu.

The fifth course is stewed tofu with cabbage.

The sixth course is tofu wrapped in meat.

The seventh course is egg tofu soup.

The eighth course, chicken soup poured with tofu.

The ninth course, sesame tofu cake.

The tenth course, sweet and sour tofu.

"Not bad, looks good!" Seeing the perfect tofu feast she listed, Cai Xiaolan was especially happy.

Cai Xiaolan prepared the dishes according to the menu, catching fish, cutting meat, and killing chickens. The lard was ready-made, but the meat sauce had to be cooked fresh.If it weren't for the two girls, Dongping and Xiaoqin, who were helping with the vegetables, she would have been really busy.

……

"Father, why do you want to go with me?" Jing Guangli looked dissatisfied.

Jing Yanxing, who was sitting opposite him, glanced at him, "Say it all the way, you don't like it! If you don't like it, just throw your father into the car! Anyway, your wings are stiff now, dare to talk about 5000 million catties alone Food business. Have you ever thought about the consequences of failure? Still, I promise you won’t frown."

"Alas!" Nenger beat his father.

"Why are you sighing? Your father can't earn ten taels of gold, ten taels of silver, ten guan of money, or ten pieces of cloth in a month. I want to see whose tofu is so delicious. How can you compare it to yours?" My soul is gone!" Jing Yanxing happened to arrive at the grain store and found that his beloved son was not there, so he asked the clerk before asking.

Leaving aside the food business at home, I ran to the tofu shop to help.

"Is she the daughter of the governor's family? Or the daughter of the Shen family?" Jing Yanxing continued to get angry.Needless to say, the former is the most powerful family in Yangzhou City.The latter, the Shen family, was the richest family in Yangzhou City, and the head of the family was known as Shen Ban Cheng.

"Just talk about it on the way. When you get to the place, be sure to be more restrained." Jing Guangli had no choice but to accept such a father at the stall.

　Thank you for those who are still reading.Since it was put on the shelves, the monthly pass and recommendation ticket are gone.The interaction is gone.I'm going to cry to death.
