Xu Cai took a bite of the flatbread. The sauce was rich and fragrant, leaving a fragrance on his lips and teeth.
Even more delicious than lion head.
"Aunt Xu, your cooking is so good." Xu Cai squatted on the ground like others, praising while eating.
"What's this? I asked my second brother to buy meat today, and Luo Xin will make braised pork for you to eat when he comes back."
When Xu Cai mentioned braised pork, he thought of the reason why he came here.
"Auntie, they say your braised pork is delicious. Is that true?"
"Why isn't it true? Don't you live in the county? Didn't you listen to the students in the academy?"
"Xu Chao was also from the academy back then, but that's not what he said..." Xu Cai trailed off.
"Is that the boy who tricked you?" Xu Zhengxiang asked?
She had already rolled up another piece of cake and handed it to Xiaoliu while saying, "I see, your kid isn't that bad at all. Just be smarter in the future."
Xu Cai: Doesn’t it sound like you’re complimenting me?
At this moment, Doctor Pei happened to come over.
He got up earlier than Xu Cai, went to the back mountain to do a set of boxing, and came back in high spirits.
"Doctor Pei, I didn't make anything else this morning, only burritos. Can I make you a bowl of egg water?" Xu Zhengxiang greeted quickly.
Pei Shu nodded, but Xu Cai quit: "Why don't I have egg water?"
Pei Shu raised his beard and said, "You are a little kid, how can you compare with me?"
"The work you did is not enough to eat eggs!" Ye Luoxin also hit him.
"Why?" Xu Cai's temper got worse again.
"Why?" Ye Luoxin replied: "You know, the folks who work for us only get 20 cents a day. You don't do as much as they do, and you're not as good as them. You can barely earn 20 cents. "
Ye Luoxin paused and continued: "For 20 cents, you can eat meat and cakes, which is pretty good. Think about it for yourself, what can you buy for 20 cents."
The truth is this, but——
"Then how can he still have eggs to eat if he doesn't work?"
Xu Cai never imagined that one day he would argue with others over an egg.
Xiao Liuzi was also surprised that the young master usually didn't eat eggs. He said the eggs smelled like chicken feces and were very unpleasant to eat.
what is it today?
Pei Shu seemed to want to make him angry on purpose. Hearing this, he deliberately bared his teeth at Pei Shu.
Ye Luoxin was really defeated by these two childish ghosts.
"Miracle Doctor Pei saved lives and healed the wounded, and he was able to treat Confucius' illness. Even eating delicacies from mountains and seas is not an exaggeration." She concluded.
Xu Cai felt that he had been hurt ten thousand times.
But he also understands that this is reality.
When everyone is in the same position, the one with the ability can enjoy the best treatment.
"Don't underestimate me either!"
Xu Cai was not angry, "Although I don't know medicine or build a house, you are not as good as me in terms of business."
"Oh?" Ye Luoxin became a little interested: "Then tell me, if you were asked to take charge of Xu Ji Restaurant, would you be able to make it better than it is now?"
"It's just a restaurant. If it lasts for a year, it will only earn a few thousand taels of silver. If I take charge of Xu Ji, I will definitely invest the money I earn in other places and will not stick to this restaurant."
"Then what do you want to do?"
Everyone knows how to talk empty talk, but talking loudly is not a skill.
"There is a lot that can be done." Xu Cai was not stopped by the question.
“Business, if you want to make a lot of money, cannot be limited to one place.
For example, the restaurant my father is running now, no matter how good the business is, the customers are only from Qinghe County and several surrounding counties.
No matter how new the dishes are, they still won't attract customers from the capital.
But if you ask me to cook food, I want everyone in Daliang to know Xu Ji, so that people as far away as the capital can also eat braised pork with the same taste as Xu Ji in Qinghe County. "
Ye Luoxin was surprised by his idea.
I originally thought that this kid was just a rich second generation with no knowledge and skills, but I didn't expect that his ideas were quite advanced.
But in this day and age, without vacuum packaging and fast means of transportation such as airplanes and trains, it is simply a fantasy that Beijing can eat sauced pork that tastes the same as Qinghe County.
Ye Luoxin originally thought that she was the only one who had such thoughts, but she didn't expect that this kid also had such thoughts.
Thinking of this, Ye Luoxin looked at Xu Cai carefully.
Could this kid have traveled through time as well?
"Your idea is quite good, I think it can be considered."
"real?"
Xu Cai was so surprised that he forgot to eat the cake in his hand.
He had mentioned this idea to his father before, but his father would only say that he was ignorant and incompetent. I don't even think about it, the meat can't be stored at all. Not to mention transporting it to the capital, it would spoil halfway if it was transported to the state capital.
He mentioned this idea to his good friends around him, who just laughed and said behind his back that he was not smart.
Ye Luoxin was the only one who not only did not laugh at him after hearing this idea, but also said that he could consider it!
"Do you really think it's feasible? Are you trying to trick me?" He confirmed again.
"Of course. What you are talking about is what I am thinking about. We can work out a countermeasure together when we have time. But now..."
Ye Luoxin pointed to the cake in his hand: "Eat first, then get up and work."
"Okay!" After receiving the approval, Xu felt that he had finally found someone with the same goals.
It turns out that his comrades are not in the market, let alone the capital, but among the farmers in this mountain village.
Thinking of this, he felt that he had strength to work.
Xu Zhengxiang said he was making a bowl of egg water for Pei Shu, but when he actually made it, he also made Xu Cai's.
This kid is good-looking. He worked for a long time yesterday and didn't complain even though his hands were scratched. Xu Zhengxiang thought he was quite pleasing to the eye.
Xu Cai took the egg water and felt better.
Although he didn't like eggs, he still took a bite. They were fragrant and sweet and tasted good.
Just as he was about to drink it in one gulp, his trouser leg was suddenly bitten by something.
"Who is it?" Xu Cai's pants didn't fit well, and they almost fell off after being bitten like this.
He grabbed the waistband of his trousers with one hand and was about to lift his foot to kick, but when he looked down, he saw that half of his body could not move.
"This, this, this, this..." Xu Cai's hands shook, and half of the egg water in his hands spilled out.
"This is a tiger, help me, there is a tiger trying to eat people!"
Everyone in the yard looked at him.
Xiao Liuzi was squatting next to him eating cakes. When he heard the young master's voice, he even stopped taking the cakes in his hands and threw Xu Cai to the ground.
"Don't be afraid, young master, I will protect you."
Xu Cai was caught off guard and almost couldn't get up after falling.
Xiao Liuzi said he was not afraid, but in fact he was so frightened that he was shaking all over.
This village is really too dangerous. How come a tiger can break into a farmer's yard?
Yuan Bao didn't know what the two people were doing, so he came closer and smelled Xu Cai's mouth.
