Xie Rongzhao's little face immediately showed a bit of anticipation: "Really, Dad?"
Xie Xiuwen looked at her with such clear eyes that he really couldn't bear to be deceived.
"Really, do you still remember the Song family where we sell foxes? His family owns a restaurant. Although it may not be as good as the Fang family, the Song family's confidence is not weak. I will take you to see it when I get a chance."
"Wow, wow! I knew daddy was the smartest!"
Xie Xiuwen smiled helplessly and stretched out his hand to make a silent gesture.
"To talk too much is to be wrong, but to keep things secret is the truth! So let's not get too happy too soon, and don't tell anyone about it, do you understand?"
Xie Rongzhao covered his mouth tightly with both hands, and nodded excitedly: "Yeah, my dear, I remember."
Although Gao County is not the richest county in the whole state, it is not the poorest either, and there are still several big shots in the county.
Therefore, the powerful people in Gaoxian County mentioned by Xie Xiuwen earlier were not groundless.
When he heard Guabao talk about some cooking recipes, he thought that he might be able to get in touch with the Song family.
In fact, he has no interaction with the Song family. The children of the Song family are also studying, but not in the county town, but in an academy in the capital city. Let’s not talk about whether they have fame or not. The main reason is that they have money and support!
The Song family is different from the Fang family.
The master behind the Fang family relied on Mr. Fang's sister. That was because the in-laws of the Fang family were capable, and now they are also from an official family.
The Song family is different. The Song family has an official in their own clan.
Even if his official position is not comparable to that of the person behind the Fang family, he is a serious member of the Song family, and this powerful relationship is naturally different.
Xie Xiuwen knew very well how much money he would spend on studying and taking exams, which could not be solved by one or two hundred taels.
They are far away from Kyoto. If he is lucky enough to win the exam and take part in the examination in the future, the transportation and accommodation expenses alone will cost dozens of taels of silver.
Not to mention I have to go to Kyoto to try it again!
Xie Xiuwen was helpless, but his family was really willing to fully support him, so why should he think about taking advantage of Guobao's incredible luck? How could he be willing to watch his five-year-old daughter help him make money?
In the final analysis, they are all just poor and troublesome!
Early the next morning, Xie Xiuwen made an excuse and took Guobao to go to the Song family first. As for Liu Ruolan, he asked her to wait at her parents' house with peace of mind.
The younger members of the Liu family are harmonious, and they are all down-to-earth and hard-working. They live frugally on weekdays, so the family also bought a mule cart a few years ago.
When Liu Shen heard that Xie Xiuwen was going out with Guobao, he asked his second son to drive them there.
Xie Xiuwen couldn't help but express his gratitude again.
The mule cart stopped near a restaurant. Xie Xiuwen thought about what he was going to do next, but it was not convenient to reveal it for the time being. After all, it was about Guobao, so he had to be careful.
"Second brother, I'm afraid we will have to discuss this for a long time. I think you will have to eat some food by yourself at noon."
"It doesn't matter, I have to go to the stone shop over there, so you guys should work first. I'll come over and wait for you after I finish my work there."
"Okay, thank you second brother."
Uncle Liu drove the mule cart to West Street. Xie Xiuwen held Guabao in his arms and whispered a few words in her ear.
"Yeah, I took note of it."
Xie Xiuwen had already written down the recipes for the two dishes and the required condiments last night, just because he didn't want to expose the good boy.
The reason why I am still willing to bring her here today is because I can get acquainted with her first. With Guobao's good luck, I might have other opportunities in the future.
I have to say that Xie Xiuwen’s thinking is really thoughtful and quite foresighted!
The Song family's restaurant is very large. In addition to the two floors facing the street, the inside is also quite atmospheric.
Xie Xiuwen did not think about talking to the Song family talker directly, but asked the waiter to invite the shopkeeper up first.
"Hey, Xie Xiucai is here. Do you have any advice?"
Of course, this was just a polite comment. People respect him as a scholar, but that doesn't mean they really respect him.
People in the business world are just used to saying good things. Even if a robber comes here, they still have to give out the good words for free!
"I don't dare to give you advice. It's just that a friend of mine wanted to use the recipes of two dishes handed down from his ancestors. Since he himself is seriously ill and can't leave now, he asked me to come over and ask for advice. Xie's reckless move, and I hope the shopkeeper won’t blame anyone."
Shopkeeper Song was relieved when he heard this.
It turns out I came here for the recipe.
"I wonder what kind of delicious recipe it is?"
Xie Xiuwen smiled and said: "I'm not afraid of the shopkeeper's jokes. I'm also entrusted by others. This recipe was given to me, but I really don't know how to make it. I have to trouble you to show it to a trustworthy cook, and then strictly follow the instructions above. Once the description is completed, we can discuss the amount of money later. What does the shopkeeper think?"
Shopkeeper Song pondered for a moment: "Yes!"
Xie Rongzhao took out two recipes, one was called Fairy Chicken and the other was called Sui Sui Yue.
As the name suggests: the main ingredient of this Sui Sui Yue is fish.
There is no shortage of fish in the South, but there is a shortage of delicious and delicious dishes.
It is not difficult to make this Sui Sui Yue. If you ignore the side dishes and just cook the dishes, it will be ready in less than a quarter of an hour.
The fairy chicken is more troublesome. This is quite time-consuming. Of course, because it is made slowly, the taste is well-deserved.
After Xie Xiuwen and Guabao are full, this fairy chicken will be served.
Shopkeeper Song was making calculations on the first floor, but his ears were always paying attention to the movements in the lobby.
Before this fairy chicken was even out of the pot, many old diners were sniffing and wishing they could get into their kitchens to see what kind of dish it was. It was so fragrant!
Just because of this, Shopkeeper Song felt that this magical chicken dish must be worthy of its name. Immediately, he changed his mind and sent the boy to ask the young master to come over and make the decision.
If he were an ordinary person, Shopkeeper Song could just take care of him. At most, it would be a matter of paying him money.
But this Xie Xiucai is not an ordinary person. I heard that he failed in the previous two provincial examinations not because of lack of talent, but because of accidents both times.
I heard that one time, due to improper diet, the person was half-sick when he entered the examination room. How could he do well in the examination?
Shopkeeper Song is a good person and will never look down on anyone.
After all, Xie Xiucai is still young. Who knows whether he will pass the provincial examination next year?
When Song Yi was invited over, the fairy chicken was just coming out of the pot.
Song Yi's nose also moved: "What dish is so fragrant? This is a new dish, why didn't I know? Come on, come on! Let me try it first!"
When Shopkeeper Song saw the young master's reaction, he knew they had to get this recipe!
