Bo Beibei smiled, didn't answer the conversation, and continued to pick up vegetables and eat.

They had just eaten halfway, when the door of the private room was pushed open, and a middle-aged man in his 40s wearing a robe came in, holding a plate of vegetables in each hand - vegetarian stir-fried thousand pieces of shredded silk and thousand pieces of knotted king flower Meat.

"Girls, here are your vegetarian stir-fried thousand pieces of silk and thousand pieces of knotted pork belly." The middle-aged man put the dishes on the table with a smile.

Looking at the slightly luxurious clothes on this man, Bai Beibei slightly bent his lower lip: "Thank you."

"Girls, I am the shopkeeper of Hongfu Restaurant, my surname is Sun. I would like to ask some of you, did you buy these thousand sheets in the county?" The middle-aged man asked straight to the point.

This shopkeeper Sun is also a fine person, Bai Beibei exudes a faint noble temperament, Qiao Qiongyan's clothes are not ordinary at first glance, and Xiaozhu is obviously a maid, so shopkeeper Sun just looked at Bai Beibei and Qiao Qiongyan and asked this Xiao Zhu was automatically ignored by him.

Qiao Qiongyan raised her eyebrows and glanced at shopkeeper Sun: "You are the shopkeeper of the restaurant, why haven't I seen you before?"

"Girl, the original shopkeeper went home to retire at an old age. I just came from a restaurant in the capital, and I have been in An County for less than a month." Shopkeeper Sun said without any concealment.

"No wonder." Qiao Qiongyan muttered, and continued to eat with her head down.

Seeing that Qiao Qiongyan dragged the topic away, shopkeeper Sun asked again: "May I ask if you can buy these thousand sheets in the county?"

"The thousand sheets were made by my mother, not bought." Bo Beibei said as he took out the cloth bag placed on another stool, and put a large stack of thousand sheets on the table.

The gleam in Shopkeeper Sun's eyes flashed, and he asked Bai Beibei in a very calm tone: "Miss said that your mother made these thousand sheets? May I ask where the girl lives?"

"My home is by the sea, in the fishing village." Bo Beibei replied flatly.

"Beach? It's a day's journey away from here?" Shopkeeper Sun couldn't hide the astonishment on his face.

"Yes."

"Girl, the thousand sheets made by your mother are the ones that everyone praises so much? Are those thousand sheets made by your mother?" Shopkeeper Sun seemed a little incoherent. He had never seen this kind of thing in the capital. He had tasted it in the kitchen just now. Yes, these thousand sheets are really delicious, especially good for drinking.

"Yes, Shopkeeper Sun." Bai Beibei's expression was still calm.

"Girl," shopkeeper Sun said, sat down on the chair next to Bai Beibei, looked at Bai Beibei and asked, "May I ask if Lingtang has thought about selling this thousand-piece recipe to others? If so, I would like to pay a high price." Buy it."

In the capital, many ordinary people would sell their own unique recipes to those big businessmen for money, so it was reasonable for Shopkeeper Sun to ask.

However, Qiao Qiongyan felt that shopkeeper Sun was coveting Feng Yan's craftsmanship, and said displeasedly: "Shopkeeper, are you going too far? This is a craft that makes money, how could it be sold to you!"

Bo Beibei hooked her lips, and said, "Shopkeeper Sun, I'm so sorry, this is my mother's ancestral handicraft, and it is not passed on."

Hearing this, shopkeeper Sun showed disappointment, but since he refused to sell this recipe, he couldn't force it, so he asked the next best thing: "Then what if our restaurant buys these thousand sheets from you?"

Shopkeeper Sun has long heard that each person at the seaside can only take away three thousand sheets at a time, and does not sell more, so he is not sure whether they can agree to sell the thousand sheets to the restaurant.

Bo Beibei frowned and thought for a while, pretending to hesitate and said: "You can buy it if you want, but we have a limited amount."

"Girl, I've heard of your family's regulations, but we run a restaurant, can you discuss with Lingtang and sell us more?"

Shopkeeper Sun had just been squeezed out from the Hongfu Restaurant in the capital, just as the shopkeeper in An County quit, and the boss didn't like him very much, so he was sent here.

An County borders neighboring countries, and the land is barren and the people are poor. Everyone is reluctant to come here. Shopkeeper Sun just found out that he was sent to the branch restaurant in An County. But the county seat of Ke'an County is not as impoverished as it is said in the legend.

Therefore, shopkeeper Sun urgently needs to make some achievements to show to the people above and below, and today he has this opportunity, so he naturally wants to seize it.

The girl also said just now that her family's thousand sheets are sold in a limited amount, which is hard to find. In addition, these thousand sheets are already well known by some wealthy families in An County. If he can persuade this girl to sell the thousand sheets to the restaurant, everyone He will definitely come here especially, as long as he makes achievements here, the boss will definitely look at him with admiration.

"Shopkeeper Sun, how many copies do you want?" Bo Beibei asked calmly.

"Two hundred tickets, two hundred tickets for our restaurant every day, do you think it's okay?" Shopkeeper Sun's eyes were eager.

"Shopkeeper Sun, are you kidding me?" Bai Beibei stared at a pair of phoenix eyes and said, "It's hard to make a thousand sheets. My mother only makes more than 200 sheets a day, and I give them all to you. Then we don't need to do business." What? Besides, we make a little more by cooking our own dishes and selling them to customers, so why should we sell them to you?"

Bo Beibei didn't mean to sell thousands of copies, and shopkeeper Sun was a little anxious: "If the girl thinks it's too much, it doesn't matter if it's less, the price is negotiable."

This is what Bai Beibei wanted. She lowered her eyes, hid the smile in her eyes, and then raised her head to change to the cold expression just now: "Shopkeeper Sun, to tell you the truth, although my family's business is good, but look at it. I feel sorry for my mother who is so tired, and I want her to relax a bit. Since you can afford the price, then I will go back and discuss it with my mother. If my mother agrees, we will give you one hundred and one thousand sheets every day. , what do you think?"

"No problem, no problem!" Seeing that Bo Beibei let go, Shopkeeper Sun nodded happily.

Although one hundred tickets is a little less than he expected, it is better than none at all. The thousand tickets are just a gimmick to attract customers. As long as customers are willing to enter the restaurant, there is no fear of losing business.

After a pause, Bo Beibei added: "Shopkeeper Sun, let's agree first that the thousand sheets are one tael of silver each, and the price cannot be less than a penny, and you must go to my house to pick up the thousand sheets yourself. If you agree with these two points, I'll go back and persuade my mother, if you don't agree, then just pretend I didn't say anything."

"Both of these points are not a problem, I agree, girl, when will you give me an answer?" Shopkeeper Sun was worried about Ye Changmeng, and wanted to settle this matter as soon as possible.

Bai Beibei pondered for a while, and said: "Three days later, I will send you a message in three days."

"Okay, I'll wait for the good news from the girl!" Shopkeeper Sun said with a beaming smile.

Bo Beibei smiled, and made a gesture to put away the thousand sheets on the table.

Shopkeeper Sun narrowed his eyes, stared closely at Qianzhang and asked, "Girl, are these Qianzhang..."
