The waiter had just walked to the kitchen when shopkeeper Chen walked forward.
The waiter said hurriedly: "Shopkeeper, Miss Xie is here. She said she made new food and wants you to grow palm eyes."
Shopkeeper Chen walked faster after hearing this.
Looking at it now, Xie Jiaojiao is really here, then...
Shopkeeper Chen stepped forward with a smile: "Miss Xie, I heard that you brought new food today?"
Xie Jiaojiao bowed respectfully to Shopkeeper Chen, and Shopkeeper Chen waved his hands hastily. If that happened, he couldn't stand Xie Jiaojiao doing this to him.
Xie Jiaojiao lowered her body and untied the rope from the basket: "Shopkeeper, I made soy sauce this time. I want you to help me take a look."
What? soy sauce?
Shopkeeper Chen was a little excited: "Miss Xie actually knows how to make soy sauce?"
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "I figured it out myself, but the soy sauce I make may be different from the traditional one. It's not made with fresh meat."
"Can you make soy sauce without meat?" Shopkeeper Chen obviously didn't believe it.
"Please lend me a bowl and spoon from the shopkeeper."
Shopkeeper Chen gave the waiter a gesture, and the waiter immediately went to get it.
After getting it, Xie Jiaojiao poured some into the bowl and let shopkeeper Chen taste it.
Shopkeeper Chen didn't show up and tasted it directly.
After tasting it, his expression immediately changed. He was still a little unsure. He took another bite and smacked his lips: "Oh, this is really soy sauce! But it doesn't taste as greasy as soy sauce? Does it still smell fragrant?" "
"Why don't the shopkeeper ask the second brother to take it to the back kitchen and try cooking two dishes?"
"Okay, okay!"
The waiter took the bowl from shopkeeper Chen and immediately ran towards the kitchen.
After a while, a piece of fried vegetables was brought.
"This smells delicious!"
"Shopkeeper, why don't you try it? Chef Li said Miss Xie, this stuff is very good!"
Shopkeeper Chen took a bite and his eyes lit up: "This is the same as meat fried in soy sauce, but the taste seems to be fresher."
“Chef Li said the same thing!”
Shopkeeper Chen laughed: "Miss Xie, how do you plan to sell this thing?"
Xie Jiaojiao thought for a moment and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, although the cost of making this is cheaper than meat, the salt is very expensive." Xie Jiaojiao glanced at the jar she carried on her back. , this jar is almost ten liters in size.
Then he said uncertainly: "Can I sell you this jar of soy sauce for one tael of silver?"
One tael of silver?
Shopkeeper Chen felt that he heard wrongly.
"With such a big altar, the girl really only sells it for one tael of silver?"
Seeing Shopkeeper Chen so surprised, Xie Jiaojiao immediately felt that she was getting a bargain.
When he turned around to bargain, shopkeeper Chen had already taken out a couple of silver coins and handed them to Xie Jiaojiao.
Xie Jiaojiao was speechless and had no choice but to take it, but she thought, it's okay, the restaurant has a huge demand, and when she sells it, she will raise the price.
"I wonder how many more people this soy sauce girl has at home?"
Xie Jiaojiao waved her hands hurriedly: "Not much. This time I just tried to see if I can succeed, so I didn't do much. If you want more, you may have to wait until next time. Next time I plan to do more. Then take it to town and sell it."
Shopkeeper Chen was a little regretful, but after hearing that Xie Jiaojiao was planning to sell it on a large scale, he immediately became interested. He rolled his eyes and asked again: "Then Miss Xie is willing to cooperate with our boss?"
"Your boss?"
Shopkeeper Chen nodded and stroked the beard on his chin: "Our boss is not only in the restaurant business, but also in the grocery store and grain and oil stores in this town."
Xie Jiaojiao thought for a while and asked: "Then your boss only does business in our town? Or?"
Shopkeeper Chen waved his hand hurriedly: "Miss Xie, our boss's business is not limited to this town! Most of these shops in this area, not to mention thousands of miles, hundreds of miles, have our boss's share."
Hearing this, Xie Jiaojiao's eyes lit up!
"Then if I cooperate with your employer, can my soy sauce be sold within a few hundred miles around?"
Shopkeeper Chen nodded: "That's natural!"
Of course I am willing to cooperate!
Only fools would choose not to cooperate.
Xie Jiaojiao was very excited for a long time, but she said, "Then I'll think about it, and shopkeeper Chen will also talk to your boss. I'll get back to you in a few days when I send you fermented bean curd."
Shopkeeper Chen smiled and nodded.
The waiter took the jar out.
Shopkeeper Chen packed two more bags of snacks for Xie Jiaojiao.
"Every time you give me something, I feel embarrassed." Xie Jiaojiao said bluntly.
Shopkeeper Chen shook his head: "Compared to the things you sent me, girl, these are nothing!"
Shopkeeper Chen sent Xie Jiaojiao to the door and said with a smile: "Girl, please go back early. Something good will definitely happen today."
Xie Jiaojiao looked a little confused as Monk Zhang Er, not knowing what Shopkeeper Chen meant by his last words.
After sending Xie Jiaojiao away, shopkeeper Chen stood there for a long time, and the waiter said: "Shopkeeper, this girl Xie has gone far away!"
Shopkeeper Chen smiled: "To be honest, our young master has been either making jokes or visiting brothels and gambling houses over the past few years. He never thought that he would have a good taste in girls. I originally thought that the Xie family's family background and our boss would be the same. It doesn’t match, but if Miss Xie made this soy sauce today, she might be able to make something unexpected tomorrow! Our young master found the treasure!"
The waiter, Monk Erzhanger, was confused and wanted to ask another question. The shopkeeper had already gone to the kitchen.
And now she's at home.
There were several burdens tied with red silk in the yard, and it looked like they were hired.
A large number of people gathered outside Xie's yard.
Sun Ruhua was wearing coarse linen clothes and stood opposite the matchmaker. The matchmaker had a flattering smile on her face, but Sun Ruhua was a little reserved.
"Sister Sun, why are you hesitating about such a good marriage? The Jiang family is a wealthy family in our county! They come and go in sedan chairs."
Sun Ruhua was a little at a loss: "How can such a good family fall in love with my Jiaojiao! Are you mistaken?"
The matchmaker shook her head: "Mrs. Sun, I am not dissatisfied with you either. This Jiang family master is already in his twenties, but over the years, the family has proposed marriage to him, and one of them has failed. No, this is still the case in their family. The shopkeeper said that this young man was admitted to your girl. Last year, because the Chinese New Year was about to come, the Jiang family master was busy during the Chinese New Year and could not spare time, so he postponed it until now. Otherwise, he would have come to propose marriage by now. "
Anything else?
When did you become interested?
When the people outside the yard heard the matchmaker introducing the Jiang family, they all started talking: "How could such a good family like us, a girl from a remote village like us?"
"That is, there is something hidden in the designation. This young master Jiang must have some flaws."
Listening to this, Sun Ruhua felt a sudden rush in her heart. Jiaojiao was with her and Zhiyi every day. If this happened, why didn't she remember it?
Moreover, the master of the Jiang family heard that he was a busy man, and Sun Ruhua was unwilling to do so. There were many rules in that wealthy family, and Jiaojiao would definitely not be able to do it. When she thought of this, Sun Ruhua waved her hand and refused: "Matchmaker Zhang, I think it's better." Forget it, our family is not worthy of a wealthy family like the Jiang family, and we won’t be able to follow any rules when we get married... You’d better take these things away!"
When Matchmaker Zhang heard the people talking outside the yard, she immediately cursed: "You talkative women who can't eat grapes and say they are sour! Do you dare to talk about this Jiang family? The eldest son of the Jiang family is lively and has good facial features. She is outstanding in appearance, but the requirements for choosing a wife are a bit high. I didn’t look at your family, so you slandered others and ruined Master Jiang’s good marriage. Be careful, I will tell Master Jiang when I go back and make you walk around with endless food!"
When she said this, people outside the yard immediately stopped talking.
Matchmaker Zhang saw that all these people's mouths were closed, and then she turned around and looked at Sun Ruhua with a smile: "I say Madam Sun, don't hesitate about such a good marriage! We have passed this village when the time comes. This store doesn’t exist any more! I’ve also asked about it. Your girl got mad a few years ago. She’s already 20 years old. In a village like yours, it’s hard to tell the right person.”
When Sun Ruhua heard what she said, she also hesitated in her heart, because Xie Jiaojiao's marriage was really difficult to discuss. She had dragged many people, but no one responded, but she didn't dare to make the decision. If Jiaojiao didn't want to, because Is this her fault?
"How about you wait until my daughter comes back to talk about this?"
