"Isn't this Xiaocao! In such a cold day, you still go up and down the mountain?" While hesitating, the familiar voice of Young Master Wednesday sounded from not far away.
Yu Xiaocao turned her head and saw a handsome young man in a royal blue cotton robe getting off a glamorous carriage. Isn't it exactly Wednesday
"Third Young Master, what a coincidence? I was just about to send you the prey you ordered! There are so many prey today that I can't get them by myself, so I asked my father to come and help!!" Yu Xiaocao pushed her home Dad, walked a few steps towards Zhou Zixu's direction.
Yu Hai smiled apologetically: "Shopkeeper Liu, I'm really sorry! These prey were ordered by Zhenxiulou and the little girl. Next time I have a chance, I will cooperate with Shopkeeper Liu."
Shopkeeper Liu twitched fiercely a few times, with a dark face, he said "bah" towards Yu Hai's back: "A poor man who hunts, is he worthy of talking about 'cooperation' with the master? Guys, listen up. In the future, if the surname Yu comes to deliver prey, he is not allowed to take any of them! Let him go to hold the thigh of Zhenxiu Restaurant!! Hmph!!"
Shopkeeper Liu said he was happy, but he was very uncomfortable in his heart. This year, the snow is heavy, and the mountains are closed by heavy snow. The hunters rarely enter the mountains in the snow, and the restaurants and restaurants in the town are in short supply of game. Otherwise, he wouldn't have lowered his body to get close to a prey.
Shopkeeper Liu could only look at his prey with envy, but Young Master Zhou was overjoyed. Looking at the stag on Yu Hai's shoulder that kicked his legs from time to time, Zhou Zixu smiled happily:
"Uncle Yu, you are sending charcoal in a timely manner! At the end of the year, the county magistrate and prominent people in the town have all booked tables at Zhenxiu Restaurant. I am worried that there are no dishes I can get my hands on! With this male deer, our Zhenxiu Restaurant Your reputation will definitely go up to another level!!"
"Xu'er, is this the savior of our Zhenxiu Restaurant as you said?" A gentle and graceful voice came out from inside the carriage.
On Wednesday, Shao Shao smiled at Yu Xiaocao, and said to the carriage: "Mother, this little girl is Yu Xiaocao who gave us the oyster sauce formula. Let's rely on the characteristics of oyster sauce to suppress the time-honored brands in the town. To begin with, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the savior of Zhenxiu Restaurant."
Mrs. Zhou had no choice but to thank her in the car because she had a foreigner, "Thank you Miss Yu for imparting the secret recipe. Xu'er, please invite the girl to come to your house some other day. Mother must thank her face to face."
Yu Xiaocao hurriedly said: "Ma'am, you are too polite. The oyster sauce recipe is with me, but it's just a tasting. In Zhenxiu Restaurant, more people can appreciate its delicacy. Whether it is a recipe or a recipe, only those who know how to appreciate it can use it. Only in the hands of its people can it reflect its value. Isn't it?"
When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she couldn't help but look at this little girl from the mountains differently. Even some ladies in the town couldn't compare to her style of conversation and her kindness.
"Mother, you go back first! I'll go to the restaurant to make arrangements." Zhou Zixu is now full of prey. It's not just about money, it's also about the reputation of the restaurant.
When other restaurants can't produce game meat that can stand on the table, Zhenxiu Restaurant's reputation as a whole deer feast will surely make the restaurant reach new heights!
"Xiaocao, you are really my little lucky star! The wild game stored in Xueqian has long been sold out. Several regular customers with status have been arguing for some fresh food these two days, and my hair is almost graying. The dishes at the end of the year are too simple, I really can’t do it!” Zhou Zixu took the prey from Xiaocao’s hand and walked side by side with her.
Yu Hai, who was following behind, wondered in his heart: When did my daughter become so familiar with Zhenxiu Restaurant's little owner
When we arrived at the delicacy building, on Wednesday, Master Shao asked the staff to move the prey to the kitchen, invited the father and daughter to his private room, and made the brazier flourish. Looking at Xiaocao's flushed little face, she couldn't help asking with concern:
"Is it freezing? Hurry up and warm up by the fire. The snow in the forest is so thick, the prey is hard to catch! Uncle Yu, your hunting skills are really amazing!"
Holding a cup of hot tea in his hand to keep warm, Yu Hai cast his eyes on the gorgeous and elegant decoration of the private room. I secretly sighed in my heart: I have sold prey countless times at Zhenxiu Restaurant, but I have never enjoyed such treatment. This is all due to his daughter's glory!
From Mrs. Zhou's mouth, the oyster sauce, one of Zhenxiulou's specialties, was learned from her daughter. He never knew that his little girl had such abilities, and he couldn't help feeling a sense of pride in his heart.
Hearing the polite inquiry from Zhenxiu Restaurant's young owner, he hurriedly sat up straight, and said a little cautiously: "Young Master Wednesday praised you, and today is also luck. I never thought that I could get such a harvest just by putting on the cover."
"Uncle Yu, you should call me Zixu. I have learned Xiaocao's ability to play tricks. I didn't expect it to be from your family, Uncle Yu!" Zhou Zixu's ginger soup has already been served. , He handed it to the father and daughter with his own hands.
Seeing that his daughter took the ginger soup naturally, Yu Hai didn't hold back, and drank the ginger soup while it was still hot, finally warming up his frozen body. He smiled and said: "It's not about family background, I learned my hunting skills from brother Zhao who came to deliver the prey together. When it comes to hunting, brother Zhao Bufan is the real master!"
"Thanks to Uncle Yu and Uncle Zhao taking care of our Zhenxiu Restaurant, as a token of gratitude, I will be the host at noon today, and I hope Uncle Yu will appreciate your face..." Not talking about business contacts, just talking about the generosity and help of his daughter, Zhou Zixu I feel that the father and daughter should be treated kindly.
Yu Hai hastily declined and said, "Master Zhou doesn't need to spend money, we are still in a hurry to go to Tongrentang to ask Dr. Sun to show Cao'er."
"Xiaocao, are you feeling unwell? Dr. Sun from Tongrentang is really good at medicine, why don't I ask someone to invite Dr. Sun over?" Zhou Zixu hurriedly looked at Yu Xiaocao carefully, seeing that she didn't look sick, The heart that was raised was put down again.
Yu Xiaocao finished the unpalatable ginger soup with a bitter face, waved her hand at him casually and said, "It's okay, I was a little startled in the morning, but I'm fine now. It's my father who is too nervous!"
Yu Hai thought to himself: I passed out this morning, why am I so nervous
Yu Xiaocao said again: "However, the weather is suddenly cold. I don't know if my brother has warm clothes. Mr. Zhou Zhou, is there any clothing store around here? I want to buy some cotton clothes for my elder brother."
Zhou Zixu said with a slight dissatisfaction on his face: "How many times have I said, don't call me 'Wednesday Shao', how exaggerated? I'm five or six years older than you, so it's not too much for you to call me Brother Zhou, right? What kind of cotton-padded clothes should I buy? Many of the cotton-padded clothes in my house are too small without the upper body. If you don’t mind, take them to your brother to wear."
"Don't, don't! My brother is an apprentice in someone's shop, wearing those fancy clothes of yours, what are you talking about! Buy some coarse cotton clothes, don't worry about them!" The robe glanced at it, which is not something that poor people can wear.
Zhou Zixu's personal attendant, who was as invisible as a shadow, spoke at this time: "Master, my little mother made a padded jacket for me at the beginning of the year. I took it out to wear it a few days ago and found it was a lot shorter. Then The jacket is made of cotton cloth given by the woman, and I haven't worn it once. If Miss Yu doesn't mind..."
"Go and get it for me to have a look! Bring two quilts from home along the way. It's so cold, don't freeze our brother Yu Hang!" After Zhou Zixu finished his orders, he knew that Yu Xiaocao would not stay for dinner, so he ordered the staff Weighed the prey.
The clerk came back from the kitchen in a short time and said, "The male deer weighs two hundred and sixty catties, and all kinds of small prey add up to thirty-five catties."
Naturally, Zhou Zixu would not treat them badly, pondered for a moment and said: "In previous years, venison cost sixty yuan a catty, but according to the price this winter, it would cost almost one hundred yuan. Your deer is alive, and deer blood and deer penis are both Good stuff... How about this, I'll give you one hundred and twenty yuan a catty for the whole deer. The price of other small prey is also doubled, what do you think?"
"Venison can be sold for a hundred cash, and our deer are weighed by gross weight, how can we ask you for a hundred and twenty cash! We have already taken advantage of you for a hundred cash." Yu Hai's character, can't do it To take advantage of people.
Zhou Zixu laughed and said: "If you want to take advantage, I should be the one who takes advantage of you. This deer can be sold at least ten times the price in my hands. If the uncle doesn't look at our old friendship, give us Zhenxiu Restaurant delivered it, what do we use to make money? Uncle Yu, I am not talking about you, your temper is not as straightforward as your daughter's."
Yu Hai was even more surprised when he saw his daughter's attitude of peace of mind: Judging from the performance of the two, this is obviously not the first transaction. When did my daughter start a business with Zhenxiulou
More than two hundred catties of deer were sold for thirty-one taels and two hundred wen. All kinds of small prey cost 1,750 renminbi, which was rounded up during the settlement on Wednesday, making a total of 33 taels.
"Deerskin is a good thing, do you want it?" The price of deerskin is calculated on a single basis. A complete deerskin can be sold for at least ten taels of silver.
Yu Hai thought for a while, and said to the little girl: "Why don't we keep the deerskin. This thing is tanned, soft and strong, and water-resistant. Make two pairs of deerskin boots for each of you brothers and sisters, and go to the sea when it gets colder. , without getting your feet wet."
If this person wasn't her father, Yu Xiaocao would have said to him, "You are stupid!" How many pairs of shoes can be made for ten taels of silver, and worn when going to sea—how much sea goods can be worth a pair of buckskin boots
"We don't want deerskin, you can turn it into silver!" Yu Xiaocao made the decision directly. She's a father, it's okay to love her children, it's just that sometimes it's too annoying.
Without further ado, Zhou Zixu took out a fifty-two silver note from his purse. Without allowing Yu Hai to refuse, Yu Xiaocao reached out to take the bank note: "Wow! This is the legendary bank note! There are no restrictions, right? It won't expire, right?"
On Wednesday, Shao Shao rolled her eyes indecently, pinched her face with a smile, and said, "Don't worry! The time-honored bank owned by the richest man in Ming Dynasty, the Sang family, will not go bankrupt! Besides, the relationship between us, even if the bank goes bankrupt, , can’t you still ask me to cash the money?”
