Silly couple dote on their wives

Chapter 17 Additional Income
"Is there anything you can do with our shopkeeper?" Reaching out his hand without slapping the smiling face, the shop clerk saw Meng Ruoqing's good attitude, so he couldn't help asking.

"Come to discuss business, tell your shopkeeper that I have an ancient recipe for sale in my hand, and the shopkeeper will be interested." Meng Ruoqing pointed to the fat rabbit in Wei Mingxuan's hand, and said.

"Oh, I'm a little curious when you say that, please come in, girl." A middle-aged man in a navy blue robe came down from the second floor holding a folding fan. I can't help but become interested.

"It's still the shopkeeper who knows the goods. Don't worry, I will definitely not let you down." Seeing someone know the goods, Meng Ruoqing immediately laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth. She followed Wei Mingxuan's hand and walked in with the shopkeeper.

Once in the backyard, Meng Ruoqing ordered Wei Mingxuan to disembowel the hare. After a few days of familiarization, Wei Mingxuan's skinning skills were excellent. After cleaning the internal organs, he handed the rabbit meat to Meng Ruoqing.

Meng Ruoqing took the rabbit meat that Wei Mingxuan had processed, squinted her eyes at the shopkeeper who was sitting with a tea set, and said, "Shopkeeper, just wait for me for half an hour, I will definitely not disappoint you."

"The old man is just waiting for your delicious dishes." The shopkeeper laughed loudly, and his eyes kept wandering around Wei Mingxuan and Meng Ruoqing.

Meng Ruoqing knew what this man was planning, so she didn't say much, but skillfully chopped the rabbit meat into small pieces with a kitchen knife on the chopping board, and then asked the chef in the kitchen for Huadiao, salt, pepper, and sliced ​​ginger to marinate.

Put oil in a hot pan, add marinated rabbit meat, stir-fry with soy sauce evenly, dig out a spoonful of bean paste and stir-fry, then add cinnamon pepper, fragrant leaves, and other seasonings, and finally add broth and simmer.

The aroma overflowed from the lid of the pot and filled the entire kitchen. The shopkeeper who was sitting on the side just now had already surrounded Meng Ruoqing. He claimed to have tasted all the delicacies in the world, but it was the first time he smelled such a delicious smell. To: "little girl, are you alright?"

"Shopkeeper, you can't be in a hurry. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!" Meng Ruoqing still has confidence in her craftsmanship. In fact, if the chef in the restaurant cooks according to her recipe, the taste will definitely not be worse than hers. So while she was selling prey, she was also selling recipes.

After simmering for about a stick of incense, Meng Ruoqing lifted the lid of the pot. The water in the pot was almost boiled dry, and the oil on the side of the pot was sizzling with the heat.

As soon as the dry-stir-fried rabbit meat comes out of the pot, the shopkeeper can't wait to start. The rabbit meat is tender and smooth, with a salty aroma, and it's perfect with a pot of sake.

"I don't know how much the girl will pay?" The shopkeeper sucked his finger, staring at Meng Ruoqing with fiery eyes, while Wei Mingxuan stood in front of Meng Ruoqing rather uncomfortably, blocking his view.

"I have many prescriptions like this. The shopkeeper might as well cooperate with me." Meng Ruoqing poked her head out and looked at the shopkeeper. This person is very cunning, she must not let her take advantage of his loopholes.

Those who do business are all shrewd people. Once Meng Ruoqing said this, the shopkeeper knew what she was planning, and said: "I can accept your prey, and the price will not treat you badly. As a condition, you You must give me two prescriptions every month, and I will buy out the prescriptions, how about one prescription for ten taels?"

Twelve taels?Meng Ruoqing was a little disappointed, this big restaurant can only afford to buy a prescription for ten taels, how stingy!
"Less." After Meng Ruoqing finished speaking, she pulled Wei Mingxuan and walked out without looking back: "Wei Mingxuan, let's go to Xianxiang Building, I believe the shopkeeper there will be more knowledgeable."

Hearing that Meng Ruoqing was leaving, the shopkeeper became a little anxious: "20 taels, no more! Your food tastes good, but the method is also simple, we will learn it soon."

"That's wrong. Different people, different order of cutting ingredients, the taste is different. If you don't have the recipe in my hand, the taste you make will definitely be different. Shopkeeper, you have to keep your eyes open." In the long run, a five-jin rabbit can cook several plates of stir-fried rabbit meat, and you will sell a plate of soup and vegetables for two taels, let alone stir-fried rabbit meat." Meng Ruoqing shook her head disapprovingly.

She dared to cook this dish in front of their cook, she must have something to rely on, and she, Meng Ruoqing, never made a loss-making business.

The shopkeeper doesn't know this truth, and he also knows that the woman in front of him looks honest and honest, but it's not easy to fool around. He thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and finally said: "The buyout price of a prescription is 40 taels, plus the wild animals you hunted. , I ate all of it from Juxian Tower, and the price is based on the market price, how about it?"

"The shopkeeper is really cool, deal!" Meng Ruoqing made a final decision immediately, and the price was five taels more than Meng Ruoqing expected.

The shopkeeper wrote down the contract and handed it over to Meng Ruoqing. After Meng Ruoqing read it carefully, she nodded in satisfaction, took the pen from the shopkeeper, signed her name, and took three more blank papers to write down the recipe for stir-fried rabbit meat. , the other is Vegetarian Duck Palm Straw Mushroom Casserole, and the remaining one is dessert after dinner.

"The shopkeeper is a cheerful person, and I'll give you an extra recipe for pastries." Meng Ruoqing handed the two pieces of paper to the shopkeeper, and said.

"I just like girls who are straightforward. Today, the rabbit weighs about five catties. The market price of rabbit meat is three hundred yuan a catty, and the money for this prescription. The total is 81 taels to five hundred yuan, right? "

"Yes!" Hearing this, Meng Ruoqing couldn't help laughing, this shopkeeper can be considered a real person!Today, she intended to give this rabbit to the restaurant as a gift, but people are willing to spend money to buy it, and she would not refuse it as a human being!
Putting away the 81 taels of silver handed over by the cashier, Meng Ruoqing walked out of Juxian Building side by side with Wei Mingxuan with a smile on her face. As soon as the two of them left, the shopkeeper immediately ran into the backyard, and the plate of rabbit meat was taken away together.

The backyard is an independent courtyard. In the courtyard, there is a young man in his twenties sitting in a rocking chair, shaking his head and eating grapes. On the other side is a picturesque young man in white clothes, holding a folding fan in his hand. Shaking carelessly.

The mouth of the boy in white squirmed, as if he wanted to say something, he immediately closed his mouth when he heard the movement outside the courtyard, the shopkeeper entered the backyard, and saw the unsuspecting expression of the boy in white at a glance, secretly startled, he would not disturb their conversation Is something wrong?
He turned his head to look at the young man eating grapes, saw that his expression was normal, and he was relieved: "Master, come and taste this dry-stir-fried rabbit meat, the taste is not inferior to that made in Wangjianglou in the capital! "

"Bring it quickly!" As soon as the plate of rabbit meat was brought into the backyard, the aroma was already overflowing. The young man who was eating grapes was already curious, but when the shopkeeper said this, he became even more curious.
