In the past few days, many rich people in the city came to eat their tofu and bean cakes, when they saw the well-dressed guests, they would not be surprised, they would not be surprised, and quickly serve tofu and peanut cake.
The rich-faced guest ate very carefully, enjoyed each bite for a bit, and opened the condiment pack, dipped a little with his finger, put it in his mouth, and tasted it carefully.
In a short while, he said to the discerning guest: "It feels good, it's not too strong, it's the taste."
These two people were shopkeeper Zeng and Chef Li from the Fugui Building in the city. They found out about it on Lantern Festival day, but they just thought it was a bargain in the country, not good enough to be elegant, so they ignored it.
But after the Lantern Festival, the stall business is still very good, many customers who buy tofu five spices and peanut paste from the stall to eat in their Fugui Building.
They can smell that smell from far away.
Shopkeeper Zeng asked the staff at the Fugui Building to buy tofu five sauteed herbs, peanut cakes, and a few packs of spice herbs, and asked Chef Li to try to make the seasoning.
Yet strangely Chef Li had already prepared it for over ten days, yet he was still unable to match Gu's seasoning flavor.
Aunt Tian saw that the two were eating carefully, and she lowered her head and muttered something, she was very worried, thinking they were ruining the taste of tofu and peanut cake, she said, and the guests were not satisfied with the food, so he wanted to trouble them?
As he worried, the dodgy middle-aged man raised his head and glanced at them, and finally looked at Third Grandfather, calling him to come.
The third grandfather walked over and asked with a smile, "What's wrong with that guest?"
Shopkeeper Zeng said clearly, "Know, your bean cakes, and seasonings are not bad. We are willing to pay thirty taels of silver for this ." Fangzi, what do you think?"
"No." Gu Jinli said, "This is a secret method passed down from our ancestors, and we will not sell it at all. If we sell it, our ancestors will blame us for not being worthy of offspring."
Thirty taels of silver just wanted to buy his three formulas, what are you kidding me about?
During the half a month when they set up the stall, they could obtain at least three taels of silver each day, and at most six taels of silver. Now these stalls were making over 30 taels.Both wanted to buy their recipes for 30 taels, and they would only sell them if they were stupid.
The shopkeeper Zeng's face darkened when he heard Gu Jinli's words, and asked the third grandfather with a sneer: "Is your family headed by children?" Are all adults dead?
The third grandfather said straightforwardly: "Xiaoyu can indeed be the owner of this tofu shop."
The tofu bean cake and seasoning were all made by Xiaoyu, so of course she had the final say.
Shopkeeper Zeng choked, he did not expect Third Grandfather to say that, his face was furious.
Chef Li was afraid that shopkeeper Zeng would spoil the matter, so he hurriedly said with a smile: "Don't mind, old man, our shopkeeper has such a temperament." Then he said: "We really want to buy your recipe
, if the price doesn't match, we can talk again."
Knowing this was fresh food that he had never seen before, if they could win the recipe, they would definitely make a lot of money in Fuguilou.
But the third grandfather still said: "This is the livelihood of our family, and we can't sell it."
Chef Li frowned when he heard this, but he had a better temperament than shopkeeper Zeng, and instead of getting angry, he pushed Zeng the shopkeeper, gesturing for him to raise the price.
Shopkeeper Zeng said: "Fourty taels of silver, how about forty taels of silver to buy your three recipes? This price is already very high. You came here because of hunger. You do not own land in Dafeng Village. With this forty tael Yinzi, you can go buy land."
third and Gu Jinli frowned, It means that the shopkeeper Zeng also checked.
Gu Jinli said simply: "We won't sell it even if you offer a hundred taels."
He pointed to the fried tofu iron plate and said: "This way, you can catch a glimpse of it. If you want to sell this dish, you can buy white tofu and spices from us and re-create it. You can still make this dish and save trouble." .”
This was indeed a solution, but what they wanted in the Fugui Building was to monopolize fresh food, so why would they listen to Gu Jinli?
Shopkeeper Zeng saw that he was unable to reach an agreement, so he stood up with an ugly face, and said, "Then, you can keep this broken recipe, but ..." He sneered a few times: "Depends on whether you can continue this business." It depends on whether God gives you a gift or not!"
After swearing harshly, shopkeeper Zeng brought Chef Li to leave, and before leaving, he swept the tofu and unfinished bean cake on the table to the icy floor, where he was , scaring Madam Chu and Aunt Tian Light, this clearly did not let them go.
Father Luo was furious, but he could not run and beat her.
The third grandfather frowned, and after Shopkeeper Zeng and Chef Li left, he immediately brought Gu Jinli to Xuanhufang and asked about Shopkeeper Zeng.
After hearing this, Old Doctor Wu frowned and said, "Is Zeng Da looking for you?"
The third grandfather nodded, "Well, he wants to buy our recipe, but if we don't sell it, he will say a rant, probably because he wants us to buy it." The stall can't go on."
Old doctor Wu sighed: "It's troublesome, Zeng Da is a Cheng family slave in Zou County, and he helps the Cheng family manage the Fugui Building business, which is very difficult in Qingfu City. Power."
Gu Jinli frowned, and it was the county magistrate again: "What is the origin of this Zou County magistrate's family, why is his family involved everywhere?
" tuan Lu's daughter in Dafeng Village was married to the county magistrate as a concubine. The owner is also a family judge. Did the influence of the county magistrate spread throughout Tianfu County?
Old doctor Wu said: "The Zouxian Cheng family is a wealthy family in Tianfu County. They had lived in Tianfu County for generations. They could be considered as local snakes in Tianfu County. The county magistrate must give face to the Zouxian Cheng family." After all, the county magistrate once every three years
in other words, the county magistrate was the assistant of the official, and if he could do it well, he could do it for life, but he would become a tyrant in Tianfu County because of his arrogance.
After listening to old doctor Wu's words, the third grandfather was extremely frightened, and quickly asked: "What should we do? This Zou County Cheng family will not come to snatch our recipe, right?
" of some family members.
Oh shit!
Gu Jinli cursed in his heart, greeting the 18th generation ancestor of the Zouxian Cheng family, with a murderous look in his eyes, then the Zouxian Cheng family should not have thought of his yummy recipe, otherwise, the Zouxian Cheng family should not have thought about it, he wouldn't mind cutting it.
He had seen a lot of blood in his previous life, and there was no shortage of this decline from Zou Xiancheng.
There was also the old man from the Lu family, if he were to rush over, he would make poison, so that his entire family could achieve happiness earlier!
Faced with the sad face of third grandfather, old doctor Wu did not have a good solution for a while, but could only persuade him: "Don't worry, everyone in this city knows your relationship with our Xuanhufang, he said, so Zeng Da did not dare to be too serious. You blatantly, you can relax and come back first."
The third grandfather knew that they had troubled Old Doctor Wu a lot, and he regretted having troubled her again, so he could only bring Gu Jinli back first after hearing this.
