Chapter 56 Begging Her

   "Is there any one in town?" a cook asked.

   "No," said the master.

   "Where's Fucheng?" Shopkeeper Sun asked.

Master    shook his head: "There is no Fucheng either. This kind of salted egg is eaten by the dignitaries and nobles in Beijing, and ordinary small states are not allowed to sell."

   "That's not right." Shopkeeper Sun wondered, "This stuff is only sold in the capital. Could it be that the girl came from the capital?"

——

   The stall is late today, and the regular customers are anxiously waiting.

   "Are you floating? Jin Kee has already sold two pots!"

   Shen Chuan said dully.

  Su Xiaoxiao asked: "Hey? Why did you come here today?"

   "Passing by." Shen Chuan said.

   "Oh." Su Xiaoxiao wrapped five egg yolk pastries and handed it to the aunt in front of her, "Your dim sum, one hundred cents."

  The cost of egg yolk cake is high, ten cents more expensive than wife cake and chestnut cake.

   "Here, the list." Shen Chuan handed her the list he had been carrying all the way.

  Su Xiaoxiao was surprised: "Did you make a special trip to send me the list? Actually, we don't have to. After we finish the business here, we will go to the academy to get it ourselves."

  Shen Chuan said angrily: "I told you that I was passing by, and I just brought it to you!"

  Su Xiaoxiao asked, "You're a little angry today, and you're having trouble with the dean again?"

   Shen Chuan was told the central matter and sighed: "He has to let me go to Fucheng to study after the spring, I don't want to go!"

   This belongs to the Shen family, and it is inconvenient for Su Xiaoxiao to talk about it.

   "Here it is for you." Su Xiaoxiao gave him a family photo of dim sum, "I don't charge you for it."

   "Why?" Shen Chuan asked.

   "Comfort you." Su Xiaoxiao said seriously.

  Shen Chuan: "..."

  Shen Chuan coughed lightly: "I'm a big man, I need your little girl to comfort me? Give it!"

   He threw a small piece of silver to Su Xiaoxiao, "You don't have to look for it, I'm happy today!"

   He's going to lose his father's fortune!

   Defeated!

   Young Master Shen, who had lost his fortune, swaggered away.

  Su Xiaoxiao handed over the silver to Su Ergou for collection: "Do you understand?"

  Su Ergou shook his head dazedly.

   I don't understand, I don't understand why her sister doesn't want money, but Young Master Shen gave more money instead?

  Su Xiaoxiao patted him on the shoulder: "Learn slowly."

  The flow of people on the street was obviously much lower than that of the previous days. In addition, they arrived too late, and many customers waited for a long time, thinking that they would not show up today.

   "Sister, today's sales are a bit slow." Su Ergou said.

   "It's fine, it's normal to have ups and downs when doing business." Su Xiaoxiao's mentality is very good, probably really fat, and he's not in a hurry.

   The money she has on hand is not counted from the dim sum and sauerkraut business. She earns 45 taels from selling recipes, and Xiang Gongzi gives 32 taels of medical fees. In the short term, she no longer has to worry about starvation.

   However, the business always has to grow slowly, and if she wants to expand the scale of production, she has to invest more capital.

   In addition, the family house is also old.

  This house was built when Mrs. Chen and Mr. Su got married. More than ten years later, the walls were cracked, the roof was hairy, and the wind and rain leaked.

   She plans to put building a house on the agenda after the spring.

   With this calculation, the money earned will have to be spent again before it heats up.

  As he was thinking about it, Shopkeeper Sun walked over to Jinji with his hands behind his back.

   "Yo, Miss Su, you're here to set up a stall again."

   He came to the two of them, glanced at the snacks in Su Xiaoxiao's tray, and said with a smile, "Business is not very good today."

  Su Ergou had a bad face on the shopkeeper Sun who had bought their formula: "Why are you here again? I warn you, there is no formula to sell to you! I won't sell it in the future!"

   "I'm not here to buy the recipe, I'm here to get your money back!"

   "What's the money back? You took all the recipes, don't you mean to deceive us!"

   The routine of the wicked, Su Ergou understands too well.

   Shopkeeper Sun took out a piece of formula from his wide sleeve, brushed it in front of Su Xiaoxiao, and said, "You sell fake formulas to me! Even if you make trouble at the yamen, you won't take care of it!"

  Su Xiaoxiao said: "I said it myself, you write it yourself, unless you make a mistake, there will never be a problem with the recipe."

   Shopkeeper Sun said, "But the desserts I made according to your recipe are not the same as the ones you sell!"

  Su Xiaoxiao looked puzzled: "Really?"

   Shopkeeper Sun beckoned behind him, and a guy trotted over with a plate of egg yolk pastry.

   "Tast for yourself!"

   Shopkeeper Sun said.

  Su Xiaoxiao broke open the egg yolk cake: "No need to taste it, it is indeed different from what I made."

   Shopkeeper Sun said coldly, "You admit it!"

  Su Xiaoxiao said: "But I also made it strictly according to the recipe. It's not the problem of the recipe. It's because you bought the wrong ingredients, no wonder I!"

   Shopkeeper Sun gritted his teeth secretly, this girl is really not easy to scare...

   Ordinary people have been so panicked by his questioning, but this girl is unbelievably calm.

   Is she really a teenage village girl?

Su Xiaoxiao said sternly: "Manager Sun, everyone opens the door to do business. If you are really humbly asking for advice, I can tell you a favor. If you want to blackmail me and deceive me, I advise you to die! I will sell you. The recipe is not afraid of you. I set up a stall in front of your Jinji, and I did steal some of your business. Everyone looked up and didn’t look down. Try it!"

   In business negotiations, one is to be thick-skinned, and the other is to have a strong aura.

  It doesn't matter whether you have it or not, it is enough for people to believe that you have it.

   This is the experience that Shopkeeper Sun has cultivated for decades, but it was easily grasped by a little girl.

   Need to say it or not, Shopkeeper Sun is really impressed with Su Xiaoxiao at this moment.

   Of course, the kind with a bit of gnashing of teeth.

   Shopkeeper Sun said without a smile: "Okay, as long as you are willing to say where you bought your ingredients, I will believe you."

  Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows: "Is this your attitude of asking for help?"

  Su Ergou: Why does it sound like what my brother-in-law said?

   Shopkeeper Sun: "..."

   Shopkeeper Sun exaggeratedly smiled and said, "Excuse me, Miss Su, where did you buy your salted egg yolks?"

   Don't tell him it's the capital, if this girl has the supply of goods from the capital, are you still worried that he will cut off the flour in this town!

  Su Xiaoxiao said calmly: "Oh, you said that, I did it myself."

   Shopkeeper Sun was stunned for a moment: "By, by, by yourself?"

  Su Xiaoxiao's hand: "Yes, you can't do it? It's not difficult."

   Shopkeeper Sun almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood.

   It's not too difficult what it means, the cooks in the town will all come and beat you to death after hearing what you said!

  Su Xiaoxiao said generously: "For the sake of our cooperation, if you want the salted egg recipe, I can sell it to you at a low price."

   Their Kam Kee sells dim sum, not ingredients, so who wants a salted egg recipe!

  According to this, do they have to grind their own flour, fry their sesame oil, grow their own star anise, and dry their Sichuan peppercorns?

  I also bought the recipe for white sugar and official salt together, and the work is done.

  Yes, that's not far from death.

   In short, Kam Kee does not make the ingredients by itself.

   Shopkeeper Sun said reluctantly, "I don't want the recipe, but if you have any salted eggs on hand, you can sell them to me."

  Su Xiaoxiao sighed: "Ah, although the method of salted eggs is not difficult, it is very troublesome. I only made a few of them, and I can't use them myself. How can I sell them to you?"

   Shopkeeper Sun gritted his teeth: "The price is negotiable!"
