The farm cook is very prosperous

Chapter 5 Talking about business

Through the market, two streets away, there is a famous commercial street in Yun County, Dongshi. Compared with the clutter of the market, this place is really prosperous and noisy, with people coming and going, heavy traffic, everything The main roads are paved with smooth bluestone slabs, wide enough for eight carriages to walk side by side.On both sides of the street are shops of various colors, with large gold-lettered signboards hanging, and there are still standing in front of the door to greet and send off, shouting loudly to attract businessmen.

Walking into a large embroidery spinning shop, Chun Niang took out Aunt Li's embroidery and handed it directly to the shopkeeper.

"Based on seven renminbi, what do you think, little girl." The shopkeeper held up the handkerchief for the whole day, and finally gave a price.

Chunniang didn't know much about embroidery, so she was hesitating.

"Well, since you are poor children, I'll give you [-] cents." The shopkeeper was afraid that the kid wouldn't want to sell, so he hurriedly increased the price by [-] cent, "This is the highest price." He added immediately.The embroidery of this handkerchief is really good, and the shopkeeper who came to the door didn't want to push it out.

There are a total of 20 pieces of these handkerchiefs, each of which is worth 160 Wen, which means [-] Wen.Adding in the [-] cash for selling spring ears in the morning, the total is [-] cash.

Huixian Pavilion.

This is a landmark building in the city, with a height of three floors.The architectural style of the restaurant is calm and majestic, and there is a sense of luxury everywhere. I heard that this is the most expensive restaurant in the city, and the food is also the best.The dignitaries, celebrities and gentlemen in the city, as well as the daughters of rich families, are all frequent visitors here.

"You two little guest officers, are you coming to eat? Come, this way please." A shop waiter saw Chunniang and her brother coming in, and hurriedly approached with a smile.

"No, little brother, we want to find your shopkeeper, I wonder if it's convenient." Chun Niang stepped forward and explained with a smile.

The waiter in the shop looked at the two of them from beginning to end, "Are you looking for our shopkeeper? Well, wait a minute, I'll call the shopkeeper." Although he didn't know what they were going to do, he decided to pass on the message for them. One sound.

Now that the lunch time has passed, there are not many diners on the first floor, and some of them are sitting sporadically. Although these people are sitting in the lobby, judging from the way they dress, they also come from wealthy families.The second and third floors are private rooms, I don't know how much it costs to eat a meal here, Chunniang thought to herself.

"Shopkeeper Xu, these are the two little guest officials." The waiter from the store just now invited a middle-aged uncle in his thirties from the store, with a mustache, and said in front of them.

The little girl looked about ten years old, she was wearing a washed plain blue cloth dress, she was quite handsome, her eyes were watery as if she could talk, she was leading a five or six-year-old boy with a tiger head and a tiger brain , both have a pair of good-looking big eyes, the two look very similar, they should be siblings, he probably doesn't know these siblings.

"I'm Xu Baoqing, the shopkeeper of the Fairy Pavilion. I don't know what this little girl is looking for." Shopkeeper Xu took the initiative to ask and answer.

"Shopkeeper Xu, my name is Li Yuchun, you can just call me Chunniang. I'm here today to discuss a business deal." Watching Shopkeeper Xu observe herself secretly, Chunniang also quietly observed him. He acts cautiously, with shrewdness revealed between his eyebrows, but he is not as snobbish as ordinary businessmen, so he should try it.

"You?" Shopkeeper Xu looked at him incredulously. The little girl was looking for him to discuss business.

"Yes, shopkeeper Xu, can you take a moment to sit down and discuss in detail." Chunniang replied affirmatively.

"Then follow me to the private room on the second floor." Seeing that the little girl's speech and behavior revealed everyone's style everywhere, shopkeeper Xu decided to listen first.

The display of the private room on the second floor is simpler than the outside decoration. There is a coffee table on one side of the room for guests to chat, and a good splash-ink landscape calligraphy and painting is hung on the other side of the room. It is a rosewood square table and some chairs.

"Miss, please sit down. I don't know what business you want to talk about." Shopkeeper Xu is worthy of being a businessman. As soon as he sat down, he opened the door and got up.

She took out a cloth bag from the bamboo basket behind her, "This is it." Chun Niang carefully opened the bag and handed it to shopkeeper Xu.

"This is... Hericium erinaceus." Shopkeeper Xu picked up one and looked left and right. After holding it for a long time, he sniffed it under his nose again, and finally asked tentatively.

"Exactly, this is fresh Hericium erinaceus. Most people often eat it to strengthen the body, prolong life and anti-aging, and it can also relieve the disease of people with heart palpitations. Whether it is diet or medicine, its effect is very good. It's self-evident..." Chun Niang spoke eloquently, strongly recommending it.

Tian Gui saw the carriage of Shaodong's family stopped at the door, and hurried forward to salute.

A black-clothed guard, Song Wu, jumped out of the horse first, looked around for a week, opened the curtain and stood beside the carriage and softly called "Third Young Master."

"Yeah." A young man in white slowly got out of the car.

"Where's shopkeeper Xu?" The boy in white glanced around.

"Third son, shopkeeper Xu is meeting with two young guests in the private room on the second floor." Tian Gui replied respectfully.

"Oh, do you know what's going on?" The boy in white looked at Tian Gui suspiciously.

Tian Gui shook his head and was speechless.

"I'll go and have a look, you don't need to follow." After speaking, he led Song Wu straight to the private room on the second floor.

Just as he was about to open the door and go in, he heard Chunniang's impassioned speech. It seemed that she knew a lot, and she didn't know what kind of girl she was.

"Is what you said true?" A crisp voice interrupted Chunniang's train of thought.

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy in white clothes was standing at the door. He had long black hair tied around his head with a white jade hairpin and a gold silk jade belt around his waist. His facial features were fair and handsome, especially a pair of phoenix His eyes were even deeper, black and white, and he walked towards her with a folding fan in his hand.

Hehe, I've always heard that ancient times were full of beautiful men, and watching them from such a close distance, could it be that this is the legendary Mr. Pianpianzhuo Shijia, who didn't notice the question of the boy in white just now.

The boy in white looked at Chunniang's strange expression, thinking that he had lost his bearing, so he hurriedly checked his clothes and behavior to see if there was anything wrong. After confirming that everything was correct, the boy in white asked suspiciously: "What are you doing?" What are you laughing at, I asked you, and what you just said about the efficacy of diet therapy is true."

"Ah? Oh, it's nothing. I'm sorry. I was distracted just now. I can make one or two recipes for the diet that you asked just now. I can make it for you to try it, and you will know what I mean. It's empty." Hu Zi looked at Chun Niang who was stunned, and tugged at the skirt of her clothes, Chun Niang finally realized her gaffe just now.

Only then did Chunniang notice that the shopkeeper Xu who was talking to her just now had stood up and retreated behind the boy in white. It seemed that this should be the owner of the restaurant.
