The peasant lady of the pastoral space

Chapter 38

She has been to the town too.

The demand for restaurants and restaurants is too low, and the vegetables are not too bad, and they are matured in batches, and there are not so many, but there are so many fish in the pond that there is no way to sell them.

So, she might as well go to the city to have a look.

Early the next morning, Li Xiang'e woke up.

——Preparing to go to the county to see the situation.

Li Xiang'e walked slowly for more than an hour in Father Li's carriage.

In short, the sun was hanging high in the sky, so Father Li's carriage drove into the county town.

The pattern here in the county is quite different from that in the town.

The houses in the town seem to be arranged more casually, but there is obviously a plan in the county town.

The streets and residences are clearly divided, the streets are clean, and both sides of the streets are much more lively than the town.

Sure enough, the city and the town are always different.

Li Xiang'e and Li's father asked for directions, and found a two-story building with a large area, and it happened to be in the busiest location.

But, strangely enough, there were very few people there.

——That is to say, there is no business, and it is deserted inside.

It was Li Xiange's goal this time——

"Father, this is the Fortune Restaurant, here we are."

Thinking of the Kelai restaurant that I just passed by and saw...

Comparing the two compartments, I feel that this side is extraordinarily deserted and pitiful.

"I didn't expect that Fuyun Restaurant is quite close to Kelai Restaurant."

Li Xiang'e muttered.

Hearing this, Father Li also expressed emotion.

"When I passed the Ke Lai Restaurant, it seemed very lively inside, and the business seemed to be good. However, this Fortune Restaurant seems to be bigger than the Ke Lai Restaurant, so why are there not many people there? What, is that weird?!"

Originally, I heard from Li Xiang'e on the way, and I heard from others that this Fuyun restaurant is also a big restaurant in the county, and it is well-ranked.

Therefore, Father Li still expressed great expectations, especially after seeing Kelai Restaurant.

I didn't expect to see it, but it was like this.

Really, the gap was too great for a while, which caused Father Li's psychological gap to also increase.

Therefore, Father Li was a little suspicious, and asked his daughter.

"Daughter, I think this Lucky Restaurant is going to be closed. Will they spend money to buy all kinds of vegetables and fruits grown in our farm, and so many fish in the pond have grown up, will they buy it?
Otherwise, let's work harder and sell them in the town bit by bit?By the way, or you can sell it in the Ke Lai Restaurant you just saw, the Ke Lai Restaurant should have this ability! "

"Father, don't worry, we're all here, we can't go home without trying, let's go, try."

When I walked into the restaurant, I saw that there was no one there. Li Xiang'e, who wanted to order a dish to try the taste, saw this situation and stopped ordering.

——Ordering is a waste of money.

I went to Xiao Er directly, and Li Xiang'e directly explained her intentions.

"I want to meet your shopkeeper."

The young Xiao Er went up and down, glanced at Li Xiang'e, and asked.

"What do you want from our shopkeeper?"

Li Xiang'e answered briefly.

"Make a deal."

When Xiaoer heard this, he hesitated for a while, then agreed.

"You two, please wait a moment."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Er immediately went inside to find Yang Shan, the shopkeeper of the Fortune Restaurant.

"Shopkeeper, there is a father and daughter outside who want to do business with you."

Yang Shan waved his hand irritably.

When the business was booming, many people came to sell vegetables, game and so on.

Now that they bought it but couldn't sell it, what business do they still do?
"We don't have any customers in the store, what business are we talking about!"

Hey, I received a letter from my master last week, which said that the master had celebrated his birthday in Baiyuan County and was planning to bring his wife to Wencang County.

If the master is here, and the Fortune Restaurant still looks like this, how can he still have the face to be the shopkeeper!

Thinking of my eldest brother in Beijing and my second brother in Baiyuan County——

They all managed the master's restaurant well, and when it was their turn, they made it like this.

Hey!
Hearing the words of shopkeeper Yang Shan Yang, Xiaoer nodded, turned and left.

As a result, just as Xiaoer ran out, Yang Shan thought about it for a while and followed him out again.

"Forget it, I'll take a look."

A dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor, in case there is a turning point——

As soon as Yang Shan came out, he saw Li Xiang'e and Father Li.

The father next to him looked like an honest farmer, but looking at the daughter next to him, the lady Li Xiang'e, it was obvious that she had a demeanor all over her body, and she was by no means inferior to ordinary official wives.

Therefore, shopkeeper Yang hesitated.

Some are not sure...

Yang Shan is a kind-looking middle-aged man, who looks about the same age as Li Xiang'e's father and Li's father.

Paused, Yang Shan, even though shopkeeper Yang hesitated, he did not despise the father and daughter opposite.

Instead, he looked at Li Xiang'e very seriously and said.

"What's the name of this lady? I don't know what you want to sell? You have seen the situation in our store. No matter what you want to sell, we can't eat it.

In my opinion, you two might as well go to the Kelai restaurant not far away to have a look! "

Hearing this, Li Xiang'e was full of smiles.

Seeing the shopkeeper's polite attitude, Li Xiang'e felt that there was a lot to be done for today.

"Shopkeeper, little girl Li Xiang'e, you can just call me by my first name. I came this time to ask if your store accepts fresh vegetables, fruits, and fresh and tender fish. The fish can be big or small. Choose it, and it also comes with a free recipe!"

Shopkeeper Yang's face turned dark.

"Miss Li, the master chef at my Fortune Restaurant is also very good. Our food is comparable to that of Kelai Restaurant. The lack of customers in my Fortune Restaurant is not because our food is not good, but for other reasons. "

Li Xiang'e immediately explained.

"Shopkeeper Yang, I don't mean to deny the dishes of Fuyun Restaurant. I believe that the chefs of Fuyun Restaurant are all skilled, but this dish is a bit ordinary, whether it is the quality of the dish itself or the cooking method. , there is still room for improvement, you see, the Kelai Restaurant still has signature dishes."

"Miss Li, are you here to provoke trouble?"

Shopkeeper Yang's face was dark and he was a little angry.

"Of course not, shopkeeper Yang, if you follow the recipe I gave, I can make more delicious signature dishes than Ke Lai Restaurant, and there are also dishes that Ke Lai Restaurant doesn't have.

Besides, the relationship behind the restaurant is of course important.However, the most important thing is the taste of the dish itself, shopkeeper, don't you think so? ?

As long as the taste is good, the business will naturally be good, and the customers will continue to flow.What's more, Fuyun Restaurant is not unsupported, shopkeeper Yang, you don't have to worry too much, and you are afraid of your hands and feet. "

Hearing this, shopkeeper Yang's eyes lit up.

Yes!

He understands the problem of Fuyun Restaurant.

In the case that the dishes are similar to Ke Lai Restaurant, those diners are more or less naturally willing to give Ke Lai Restaurant some thin noodles.

After all, I heard that the big backer behind the Guest Lai Restaurant is the side concubine Luo in the Palace of the Prince of Qin!

That's royal!

The queen mother's daughter-in-law!

Although it is a side effect, it is quite remarkable for ordinary people.

Although the owner of Fuyun Restaurant, Mr. Yang, also has a big business and has prepared a lot of good cooks.

However, there are restaurants in the capital and other places. Who would put a chef in such a small county with overqualified talents?

Yang Shan once thought about changing cooks, but the place is only so big, and the things the cooks know are very limited, and there is no good effect.

In a word, it's useless!

So, looking at it now, according to what Mrs. Li said, maybe this Fortune Restaurant can be brought back to life.

Although this Wencang County is small, Yang Shan is still a shopkeeper in this Wencang County.

However, if the restaurant is closed due to poor management, with this stain, even if he can return to the Yang Mansion, relying on the face of his eldest brother and second brother, he can still only be a useless old slave.

Moreover, in the future, it is estimated that there will never be a chance to be entrusted with important tasks by Master Yang and Mrs. Yang, and Xianyu will have a chance to stand up and show his talents.

It is precisely because of this that Yang Shan is struggling to support here.

However, thinking of the uneven income and expenditure accounts, Yang Shan also knew that if there was no other way, it would take a dozen or 20 days at most. Master Yang brought Mrs. Yang and the young master to Wencang County, and then sent someone to When it comes time to check the accounts for one year, Mr. Yang of the Fortune Restaurant will never manage it for him again.

The shopkeeper Yangshan Yang is also worried!
At this moment, Li Xiang'e came, full of self-confidence, even if shopkeeper Yang saw it, he could only be a dead horse as a living horse doctor!

It's just that Mrs. Li looks too young——

How much ability is there, is still unknown?
"Li Niangzi can really cook better dishes than Kelai Restaurant."

"can!"

Li Xiang'e nodded.

Although her skill is not very good, compared with those professional cooks, she is definitely inferior.

But, she has golden fingers!

Whether it's the dozens of recipes she transcribed in advance from the traditional dictionary in the space, or the vegetables and fruits watered by her own ability water and spawned with wood-type abilities, they are all leveraged.

Of course, there are also those fat fish that have been fed with her special natural fish feed, which are all good ingredients for making delicious food!

She, very, have, believe, heart!

Thinking of this, Li Xiang'e showed a proper smile on her face, which would neither make people feel flattering nor lofty.

"Shopkeeper, can you borrow the kitchen for a while? You'll know once you try it."

Shopkeeper Yang nodded.

"Yes, Mrs. Li, please."

After finishing speaking, Li Xiang'e asked the waiter to follow Father Li to the carriage at the door, and bring in some vegetables and fish from the carriage.

Li's father listened, nodded, and immediately cooperated with the waiter to walk towards the carriage.
Shopkeeper Yang led Li Xiang'e into the restaurant's kitchen first.

It was also a very good order. The chefs and helpers who had been in the kitchen left the kitchen one after another and waited outside.

When Li's father and the others brought the ingredients, Li Xiang'e originally planned to make it according to her usual craftsmanship, but after thinking about it for a while, she changed her mind.

In the end, she decided that she should just cook according to the recipes she copied in advance in the space!
There are all kinds of seasonings in the kitchen of Fuyun Restaurant. Li Xiang'e nodded in satisfaction after seeing it.

In this way, she can let go and do it.

Shopkeeper Yang and the others waited anxiously outside the kitchen, only hearing the sound of cooking inside, no one knew what was going on.

It seems that after a long time, the shopkeeper Yang smelled a fragrant smell first, his eyes looked forward, and his heart was faintly settled.

After a while, Li Xiang'e asked shopkeeper Yang and others to come into the kitchen to check and have a taste.

She cooked a total of 5 dishes, including two fish dishes, braised fish and tofu fish.

Shopkeeper Yang first picked up a piece of braised fish with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and then took a piece of tofu fish and tasted it.

While everyone was waiting anxiously, shopkeeper Yang continued to remain silent, and continued to taste the remaining three dishes made with vegetables as the main ingredients one by one, before putting down his chopsticks.

"How is it, shopkeeper, how does it taste?!"

One of the chefs smelled the aroma and worried about the asymmetry between the aroma and taste, so he hurriedly asked.

The waiter also nodded repeatedly.

"That's right, that's right, shopkeeper, don't be a fool, isn't it delicious!"

Although he is just a waiter in the shop, but when the Fortune Restaurant is ready, he can be a waiter in the shop, right?
The chef was in a hurry, so he simply served the chopsticks and took a bite.

Immediately, the chef's eyes lit up, and he nodded at Shopkeeper Yang.

"Shopkeeper, this taste is absolutely amazing! It's very fresh, and the taste of the ingredients itself is not covered by these seasonings. Well, it's very distinctive!"

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Yang stroked his beard and nodded.

"Extremely great!"

After finishing speaking, shopkeeper Yang looked at Li Xiang'e, cupped his hands with a smile, and said.

"Miss Li, please sit here, and we will talk in detail."

Li Xiang'e knew that the matter was over, she breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded with a smile.

"Ok!"

After discussing in detail, the final result is that in the days to come, as long as the vegetables are sold to Fuyun Restaurant, except for peppers, which cost 100 Wen per catty, other vegetables will cost 30 Wen per catty;
Fish cost 50 Wen a catty.

As for how much Fuyun Restaurant can buy at one time, it depends on the actual situation. Only when you sell more can you buy more.

But fortunately, Li Xiang'e's family doesn't need to deliver the food to their door. When the time comes, Fuyun Restaurant will send someone to come to buy the ingredients in person.

After signing the contract and stamping his fingerprints, shopkeeper Yang took the lead in paying Li Xiang'e 300 taels of silver.

It can be regarded as paying for the ingredients in Li Xiang'e's carriage, and the price of the twenty or so recipes given by Li Xiang'e.

In fact, shopkeeper Yang knew that he had taken advantage of it.

Just talking about the twenty or so recipes alone is worth thousands of taels of silver.

Therefore, shopkeeper Yang valued and trusted Li Xiang'e even more for her generosity and generosity!

When he knew that Li Xiang'e lived at the foot of the mountain in Lijia Village, shopkeeper Yang had a very strange look on his face.

In modern terms, that would be insane!

After realizing it, Shopkeeper Yang got up and saluted Li Xiang'e respectfully, and said regretfully.

"Oh, I don't know Taishan, but I didn't notice that you are a distinguished guest of our master's wife. I am really disrespectful and disrespectful!"

Is this still a guess?
Mrs. Yang, the Zhuangzi at the foot of the mountain in Lijiacun, liked it very much, but now, she actually changed hands to someone else, so their relationship must be unusual.

In short, no matter what, it’s always right to be respectful!

Li Xiang'e was stunned upon hearing this.

After carefully looking at shopkeeper Yang, Li Xiang'e clapped her hands when she thought that his surname was Yang.

"Let me just say, at the beginning, I always felt that shopkeeper Yang, you look a lot like shopkeeper Yang from Fulai Restaurant in Baiyuan County. I don't know why, but you are still brothers? Are you both from Mrs. Yang's family?"

When shopkeeper Yang heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched.

Well, it's really confirmed now.

Nodding repeatedly, shopkeeper Yang explained slowly.

"Exactly, shopkeeper Yang of Xiahe Fulai Restaurant is a real brother. We are all the sons of the Yang family. I am the youngest one. There is an older brother who is in the capital to take care of Master Yang's property."

After chatting like this, shopkeeper Yang Shanyang and Li Xiang'e suddenly felt much more familiar.

I also feel more at ease in the future cooperation.

Capital, Huo Mansion, Second Room
Huo Qihao had just returned from Baiyuan County to greet Mrs. Huo, and handed over the health-care pills presented by his aunt to the nurse next to the old lady.

Old Madam Huo took the medicine brought back by Huo Qihao on the spot, and within a quarter of an hour, she obviously found that her bones had eased a lot.

Seeing this, Master Huo, Master Huo Er, Mrs. Huo and Mrs. Huo wept with joy.

Old Mrs. Huo was in tears.

He is afraid!

He was really afraid that his old wife would be so sick~
Only now did I realize that there is such a magical pill?

After repeated inquiries, Mrs. Huo finally found out that there is actually a person named Li Xiang'e who is so powerful, with medical skills comparable to those of the imperial physicians in the palace, and may even surpass them.

After all, the imperial doctor in the palace was always talking nonsense, and in the end he couldn't cure his old wife!

Huo Qihao returned to the yard, Luo Youjia looked at him, and greeted him with a smile.

"Qihao, did anything special happen when you went to Baiyuan County?!"

Luo Youjia anxiously wanted to know if Huo Qihao had found the suet jade pendant so that he could find his cousin and niece and rescue them in time.

Huo Qihao nodded with a smile.

Luo Youjia was overjoyed, found it, saved it?

Immediately, I heard my husband say.

"There is one special thing. I can't say that. It should be a few things, right?! My aunt is pregnant again, it's almost four months now, and my little cousin Yuanbao, He is alive and kicking now, and his body is better than when I was a child!
More importantly, this is all due to a person with amazing medical skills, a woman named Li Xiang'e, she can turn decay into magic, and even the weakest people can be cured by the pills she made.Tell me, is it amazing? ! "

Luo Youjia forced a smile when he didn't hear the news he wanted to hear.

Missed it, actually missed it? !

In this life, Huo Qihao actually missed it, did not find that jade pendant, let alone know the whereabouts of his cousin and niece?
So, are they still there?

Luo Youjia lowered her eyes to hide her emotions, very worried.

If so, in this life, the Huo Mansion finally learned of the death of the mother and daughter.

Then, the Huo family will definitely make more trouble in this life than in the previous life!

Thinking of Mrs. Huo's body, Luo Youjia fell into memories.

In the previous life, it was for this reason that the old lady passed away shortly afterwards.

Don't make the same mistakes in this life!
What Luo Youjia didn't know was that she actually thought too much in this life.

In the previous life, the dead person in her memory, the person who brought a sad shadow to the Huo family, is not only alive in this life, but also alive! (⊙.⊙)
It's just that she didn't know and couldn't think of it at all!
