Zhou Man waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need to be polite."
He shushed again: "Don't be so loud."
Then he pulled Mingda out a little to prevent her from being smoked.
She leaned against another wall in the alley and said to Mingda, "Don't worry, my sister-in-law is not someone who will suffer."
Mingda: "...But my sister-in-law has always been gentle, I'm afraid she will suffer."
Zhou Man waved his hand confidently: "Don't worry, my sister-in-law will not suffer any loss!"
She was sure, so Mingda could only wait and see.
Although there were many people and they were blocking the door and making noises, Xiao Qian's expression did not change much. Zheng, who was still playing with her children in the yard, heard the commotion and came over and was startled. She was hugged by the girl and the palace maid and was coaxed.
Bai Jingxing and Bai Ruoyu were also attracted, staring with big eyes.
When Xiao Qian saw it, she was afraid that the two children would be frightened, so she quickly waved to them and asked them to take the children away quickly.
When she turned around and saw that they were still shouting and talking at random, she couldn't help shouting: "Stop arguing!"
Everyone was shocked by her voice, and the scene fell silent for an instant.
Xiao Qian then showed a little smile, but he was still serious, "I heard, you want to buy pork from Zhuangzi, it's easy, you go to Zhuangzi and find the steward, or I will invite Mr. Cui over later, you talk to Mr. Cui
also."
After everyone was quiet for a while, they said: "Mrs. Zhou, this pork has a smell. Although it is relatively bland, the ingredients used are less, so the smell cannot be removed. But with those aniseed ingredients, the price is high."
"
"With the same price, everyone will definitely prefer mutton," the man continued: "But we have all tasted the dishes cooked by Mrs. Zhou. Although some dishes also use some aniseed, there are not many, and some
If you don’t use it at all, the price will be much cheaper.”
The other party smiled at Xiao Qian and then stopped talking, hoping that she could understand what he was saying.
Xiao Qian understands, after all, her decades of life have not been in vain, but if you want to learn her dishes, you should continue talking.
Xiao Qian looked at them in silence. Everyone stared at them and didn't say anything for a long time.
In the end, Xiao Qian couldn't stand the chattering and dilly-dallying of a group of big men, so he simply asked: "Do you want to learn my cooking?"
Everyone nodded repeatedly and hurriedly explained: "Pork dishes can only be sold if they are cheaper than mutton. If our restaurant has Mrs. Zhou's skills, many people will buy the pork. Maybe it can be wrapped by then."
What about the amount of pigs raised in Guantian Zhuangzi next time?"
"Tsk. How big is your restaurant? My restaurant doesn't even dare to directly book the production volume of Guantian Zhuangzi, but I will try my best to buy it. As long as our cooks can make such dishes, I will definitely do it in the future.
It takes a lot of pork.”
Xiao Qian finally understood why Bai Shan said that the donated vegetables were done well. Not only could they sell the pigs in the village, but they would also not occupy the butchers in the market, and she might even be able to earn an income.
However, he also warned before leaving that all businessmen in this world have the same virtues as Shiro. They may have honey on their lips, but they take advantage of them. Moreover, they are not their own relatives. They not only take advantage but also deceive others, so
Let her not listen to what they say, and just think about what she can get in exchange for her own abilities.
Xiao Qian thought for a while and then said: "I can teach you, but I have conditions."
Everyone laughed quickly and said, "You say it, you say it."
Xiao Qian said: "You may not know that my family also owns a restaurant."
Everyone: ...This is a bit embarrassing, fellow travelers!
Xiao Qian said: "But my restaurant is not here, but in the capital."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Although my restaurant is not here, it is our ability to eat after all. We can't drop the bowl by ourselves, so you can let me teach you. What can you learn from me?"
Everyone:...The relatives of the county magistrate want benefits from them, which is indeed beyond their expectation. Bai Shan has never accepted any gift beyond the ordinary etiquette since he came to Beihai County.
When the daughter of the county magistrate's family was one month old, Bai Shan returned any gifts that were too heavy. As for other families, whenever anyone held a banquet during this period, he gave them similar gifts as before, which shows his temper.
character.
Someone's heart moved, and when they were wondering if this was an opportunity, they heard Xiao Qian saying loudly: "I don't want to ask for more from you, because everyone is coming to the door. I taught this, and it's not good if I don't teach that."
, so you can just give each of your families three to five hundred cents to repair."
She said: "I will cook a dish for you three times and explain it in detail three times. How much you can learn depends on your ability, okay?"
Someone immediately said: "What is three to five hundred taels worth of money? Mrs. Zhou is too shabby to us. We are embarrassed to bring out such a good dish without 300 to 50 taels."
Even if there are several people nodding in agreement, others suddenly no longer agree, and neither should they.
No, they are suspected of taking Xiao Qian's benefits for nothing, and they are afraid of offending County Magistrate Bai and Lord Zhou; Yes, thirty or fifty taels is indeed too much, and they don't want to pay so much.
Just as he was hesitating, Xiao Qian had already glared at the man and said loudly and seriously: "Don't harm my Man Bao and my brother-in-law!"
She said: "I know my own skills. Since you have eaten my dishes, you should also know that they are ordinary home-cooked dishes. Not to mention that I teach so many of you at one time, I just teach one person, what recipes are there?"
It’s not worth thirty or fifty taels.”
Xiao Qian looked at them warily, "Don't think about tricking me into accepting the money, and then later suing my family, Man Bao and Bai Shan, for accepting bribes."
Everyone: "...No, no, Madam Zhou, how dare we?"
Xiao Qian: "How dare you? That's what you think in your heart, but you just don't dare?"
Everyone: "No, no, we wouldn't even think about it. This is too dirty."
"Yes, yes, it's very dirty. I can read three to five hundred articles and it's pretty good."
The people who made the suggestion immediately stopped and lowered their heads in regret, thinking they could take this opportunity to have a different relationship with Mr. Zhou, the magistrate of Bai County.
Xiao Qian then worked out the details with them, going back and forth without falling behind, because everyone was quieter and Xiao Qian's voice was louder, so Mingda could hear clearly outside.
Mingda looked at Zhou Man in surprise. This was beyond her expectation. In her impression, Xiao Qian was a gentle and loving sister-in-law who cooked delicious food and was very good at taking care of others.
But now...
Zhou Man said happily: "You didn't expect it, right? My sister-in-law can do it."
She said: "She is the eldest daughter-in-law of our old Zhou family. She is very capable. My sister-in-law is usually kind and gentle, but if Li Zhong and the others do something wrong, she can take people from the village with a stick.
After being chased to the end of the village, if someone in the village comes to quarrel with our family, my mother will basically stop taking action. My elder sister-in-law will take my second sister-in-law and scold them back."
Mingda: "... scold, scold him back?"
"Yes, scold me back," Zhou Man said confidently: "But in the past few years, my sister-in-law has become more and more gentle, and I think I will be like this in the future. Although everyone says I am aggressive now, but when I grow up,
With some, I will definitely become as gentle and approachable as my mother-in-law and sisters-in-law."
Mingda twitched his lips and said, "You are really confident in yourself."
