chapter 29

"Is it ready to eat now?"

"Okay, but you two have to wait a while."

Su Yu took a knife and sliced ​​the duck meat piece by piece. The sliced ​​duck meat was neatly placed on the side plate, and the movements were very standard.

“It’s best to slice duck meat in front of the guests.”

Not much to say about the many Su Yu. As the shopkeeper of Taihe Building, shopkeeper Niu naturally knows the way inside.

Push a plate of duck meat and sweet noodle sauce in front of the two of them.

"Try it, you two, and see how it tastes?"

The two of them each picked up a piece of duck meat, dipped it in some sweet noodle sauce and put it in their mouths. The rich aroma immediately melted in their mouths.The skin of the duck is crispy on the outside and the meat is tender on the inside. Coupled with the sweetness of the sweet noodle sauce, it is a taste that the two of them have never tasted before.Shopkeeper Niu was still tasting it, but Xu Yuanwai had already picked up another piece of duck meat.

At this time, Mrs. Li came in with a tray, and there were some small noodles on the plate on the tray.This was what Su Yu had asked the restaurant's back cook to make when he was waiting for Boss Niu. Unexpectedly, it was done very quickly there.She considered herself a novice at making cakes, so she didn't get a job for herself.

Push the dough in front of the two of them.

"There is another way to eat roast duck."

Su Yu took a small noodle pancake, dipped cucumbers and scallions in some flour sauce and put it on the pancake. Then he put a piece of duck meat on it, wrapped it up into a bite-sized piece, put it into his mouth and ate it in one bite.

The two of them also imitated Su Yu. Seeing that the duck meat on the plate was almost gone, Su Yu took a knife and sliced ​​another plate. The duck was quite big and had a lot of duck meat.

The shopkeeper Niu tasted a few mouthfuls and didn't move his chopsticks again, while Xu Yuanwai didn't care about it and ate the duck meat on his own.No matter what business they are discussing, his mind is now focused on the roast duck in front of him.

"It's best to use ducks that are four to five months old. Marinate the night before and roast them the next morning. The taste will be better than now."

"You three, let's go to the private room on the second floor to talk."

A few people returned to the box they sat in when they came in the morning.

"Miss Su, can you sell Fang Zi to Taihe Building? The price is easy to negotiate, and we buy all the ducks raised by the Su family in Taihe Building. The price is set at ten yuan a catty. What do you think?"

A pound of duck meat costs ten cents, which is the same price as chicken. From this point of view, Shopkeeper Niu is quite sincere.

"As for the prescription, Miss Su might as well make a price."

Seeing that it was getting late, Su Yu didn't hold back for fear that Lian Shi, who was at home, would be worried.

"Since Shopkeeper Niu is so sincere, I will sell this prescription to Taihe Building. Is it just the price? 200 taels of silver, not a cent less."

When Su Laoer and Su Sheng heard that Su Yu actually wanted 200 taels of silver, they pinched their thighs and thought they were dreaming!At the same time, looking at the reaction of the shopkeeper Niu on the other side, he was afraid that he would kick the three of them out in anger. In the eyes of the two of them, it was just a recipe for roast duck, worth 200 taels of silver.

Shopkeeper Niu was a little hesitant. He didn't expect Su Yu to ask for 200 taels of silver. The highest budget he had in mind was 100 taels. 200 taels of silver is just a small amount of money for the owner, but for Taihe Building in Xinglin Town, 200 taels of silver is really not a small sum, and he can't do it.

"Actually, you won't lose anything if you buy the roast duck recipe for 200 taels. As far as I know, the owner of Taihe Building has opened branches in more than half of the towns in Zhou Dynasty, not only in Xinglin Town, but also in several counties around Xingyang Mansion. It’s available in every prefecture and even in Kyoto, and roast duck can be sold in other places, and it only takes a few days to make money, which is really not a loss.”

Shopkeeper Niu gritted his teeth, "Okay! It's only 200 taels of silver, but Miss Su wants to sign a contract with me. If the recipe is sold to us in Taihe Building, then you can't sell it to others, even if you make it yourself, you can't sell it at the fair. It doesn’t matter if you cook and eat at home.”

"It's natural, and I still understand the truth."

Soon, shopkeeper Niu asked the clerk to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and the deed was quickly written in duplicate.

"Miss Su, I'll read to you the content above."

"I'll just see for myself."

Su Yu picked up one and read it over. Some of the characters on it were words he recognized and some he didn't. Even Meng Daicai could tell what it meant. It was similar to what Shopkeeper Niu said before, but with the addition of one sentence. If they breach the contract, they have to pay five times the liquidated damages.That was 1000 taels, but Su Yu didn't care. She had no intention of selling the prescription to anyone else.

Shopkeeper Niu didn't expect Su Yu in front of him to be able to read. Su Laoer and Su Sheng were also surprised. When did the girl (sister) learn to read? Why didn't they know?
After confirming that it was correct, Su Yu wrote Su's second child's name crookedly on it.

Shopkeeper Su Yu's literacy Niu was already very surprised, but he also saw the words Su Laoer written on it, which was a bit ugly, but he didn't dislike it at all.Shopkeeper Niu handed Su Yu a contract, folded his own and put it in his arms.I asked the clerk to go to the cashier to get 200 taels of silver, and at the same time, I also brought the meal money for the family of three in the morning, plus two packs of tea.

"This is 200 taels of silver. The other string is your breakfast meal money. You don't need to give it. The tea is for Brother Su."

"Then thank the shopkeeper."

Su Yu put all her things away and put them in the small crossbody bag she was carrying.

"It's getting late now, so we'll go back first. Tonight, I'll take care of ten ducks at home. I'll have to bother the shopkeeper tomorrow morning and send the carriage to Yujia Village to pick them up. Then I'll teach the cook how to cook roast ducks."

"Miss Su is very thoughtful. It's already getting late, so I'll ask the guy to take you back."

"Then I would like to thank the shopkeeper."

Seeing the three people leaving, Shopkeeper Niu felt a little emotional. After a long time of contact, he felt that he was not facing a teenage country girl, but an experienced businessman.

The three of them went to the backyard, where a carriage was already waiting. The father and son got on the carriage. The driver whipped the horse on the buttocks. The carriage turned and drove out of the alley. In less than half an hour, they arrived at Yujia Village. , it was still some distance from the entrance of the village, so Su Yu asked the waiter to stop the car, and the three of them got off the carriage and walked back.The carriage was too conspicuous, and her house was not the right time to attract jealousy.

After the carriage left, the three of them walked towards the village. Su Laoer walked with the same hands and feet, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. Today, the daughter made 200 taels of silver from one move, and the ducks at home have been ordered. Give it to the restaurant, his Su family is going to give it away!

Although Su Sheng was surprised, he was much better than his father. At least he didn't have the same hands and feet when walking.The girl is so powerful, does she still have a place in this family?
The teenagers in the rebellious period are really speechless. Shouldn't they be happy that their family has earned 200 taels of silver now, and worry that they will have no status in this family in the future.
