Chapter 44 Selling Sons

"Okay." The waiter took the money and left.

Chen Dabao felt distressed again when he saw his mother spending so much money. She shouted in disapproval, "Mom, we are here to sell meat to make money, why do we spend so much money?"

Chen Afu whispered, "We need to taste the taste of the restaurant first. If the five-spice braised pork in the restaurant is not as good as ours, then we can sell it."

"Then braised pork is enough, why do you need kung pao diced pork?" Chen Dabao said again.

This little stingy. Chen Afu explained, "Mom, I want to see the ancient times...oh, the cooking skills of this restaurant."

When the dish came, the five-spice braised pork was still more like braised pork, lacking some of the special braised flavor. The Bao Gong Pork Dice is cooked quite authentically, and Chen Afu feels that it is about the same level as himself. Kung pao pork cubes was a home-cooked dish that Liu Xudong liked in his previous life. Chen Yanyan put in a lot of effort to learn this dish and became very good at it.

This restaurant is not the best in the county, and Chen Afu does not dare to underestimate the ancient food culture. It seems that apart from braised food, selling recipes is almost impossible.

Both of them were short of food and water, and had finished all the dishes except the vegetable soup.

After they finished eating, Chen Afu said to the waiter, "I want to meet your shopkeeper."

The waiter had a good nose, and he had already smelled the special fragrance coming from their basket, and he knew something about it.

He asked them to wait and went upstairs. After a while, they came and invited them into a room on the third floor. After entering the house, Chen Afu pinched the palm of her left hand. She wanted to summon Jin Yanzi back. She used to wear a hat when eating. It was not easy to talk to others while wearing a hat.

The interior of the house is arranged like an office, with desks and cabinets. A young man in his twenties wearing a satin robe sat in front of the case, and a fat man in his forties stood aside. The two of them were stunned when they saw Chen Afu. They didn't expect that there was such an outstanding young lady in this county. Although she is clothed in commoner clothes and has a fine hairpin, she is eye-catching. Apart from her delicate eyebrows, she also has a unique charm.

The middle-aged man said, "I am Shopkeeper Xu, what do you want from me?"

Chen Afu said, "Our family has an ancestral secret recipe for braised food. Because our family is poor and we are in an emergency, we want to sell this secret recipe." As he spoke, he opened the cloth on the basket.

Shopkeeper Xu and the young man had already smelled the special aroma. They tore off some braised pork and put it in their mouths to taste it carefully. They both said, "Well, not bad. It's a little more special than the five-spice braised pork." The aroma is better when the pig intestines are braised like this.”

The young man asked, "How much do you want to sell it for?"

Shopkeeper Xu introduced again, "This is Uncle Yang, the owner of our restaurant."

Chen Afu called out, "Uncle Yang," and then said, "Now my father is sick and my brother's leg is lame. The family is in a hurry for money, so they came to sell this secret recipe handed down from their ancestors. I heard that Xile Restaurant has reasonable prices and good reputation. Okay, I won't bully ordinary people like us, so I just found it. If the price is right, we will sell it."

The price in her mind was fifty taels of silver. If the price is higher than this price, sell it; if it is lower than this price, don't sell it. This thing can be kept secret, unlike Pan Kou, which is easy for people to learn as soon as it comes out.

Uncle Yang pondered for a moment and winked at Shopkeeper Xu. Shopkeeper Xu said, "Although this braised food is good, it is not much different from the five-spice braised pork in our store. How about I give you a fair price, forty taels of silver?"

This price did not reach Chen Afu's psychological price, but the difference was not big, which showed that they were not the main ones who were trying to bully customers. If there is an opportunity, we can continue to cooperate.

Chen Afu thought this in his heart, but shook his head and said, "For this price, I can't sell it. Sorry to bother you." After saying that, he took Dabao's hand and walked to the door.

Uncle Yang suddenly opened the big fan and laughed, "You little lady, you are still impatient. When doing business, you must allow bargaining. If you don't agree, you can make a counter-offer. Why are you leaving in such a hurry. I'll add ten more Two, fifty taels, how about it?" Seeing that Chen Afu stopped and said nothing, he added, "Another five taels, this is already the most."

Shopkeeper Xu was stunned for a moment, secretly thinking that the uncle is a very stable person, why did he increase the price so much all of a sudden?

Fifty-five taels, a little more than the expected target, Chen Afu is still quite satisfied. Canran smiled and said, "Okay, deal."

It seemed that even the birds outside the window were chirping in celebration of Chen Afu's big business. One of them is the golden swallow, which is standing on the branch outside the window lattice with several other birds.

It was already very impatient and chirped, "You have a lot of things to do and you can't do anything without me. I'm going to find you another bodyguard."

Shopkeeper Xu first drafted an agreement, which also included the classic clause that it could not be sold to anyone else. Chen Afu had no objection. She and shopkeeper Xu signed and pressed their fingerprints.

Chen Afu was about to lead Dabao to the kitchen. Yang Mingyuan smiled and said, "This kid should stay here, the kitchen is too messy."

Chen Afu saw that Uncle Yang's eyes were clear and he didn't look like a bad guy, and there was a golden swallow guarding the window, so he agreed to let Chen Dabao play here. She also told him softly, "Stay here and don't go anywhere. Don't be naughty either. Mom will come back to you soon."

Chen Dabao nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mom, Dabao knows."

Chen Afu went to the kitchen to look at their seasonings, and quietly told shopkeeper Xu about the extra Chinese medicine. Shopkeeper Xu was still a little surprised and ran to buy it himself.

The process of frying marinated ingredients is the same as that of a restaurant chef, except that a few more Chinese medicinal herbs are added. Chen Ahfu watched the chef stew the meat well, and the taste was the same. She was considered to have brought out an apprentice.

When she returned to the small house, she actually saw Chen Dabao and two other children playing happily with Huihui, and Grandpa Yang was also watching with interest.

Without Qiqi and Jinyanzi, Huihui became the protagonist of course, laughing and talking with his mouth wide open, shouting "Grandpa, mother, Dabao, pee" in a row, making everyone laugh.

Chen Dabao saw Chen Ahfu, stood up and greeted him, saying, "Mother, this is brother Yang Chao, this is sister Yang Qian, they both like Huihui."

The two children, the boy was about five years old, and the girl was about four years old. They were both wearing silk clothes, with delicate features, and looked a bit like Grandpa Yang. They looked up and politely called Chen Ahfu, "Auntie."

Chen Ahfu blushed, she hadn't married yet. She quickly smiled and said, "Just call me Auntie Chen."

The two children called out again, "Auntie Chen."

Shopkeeper Xu brought a plate of the freshly braised meat to Grandpa Yang. Grandpa Yang tasted it and nodded, and asked the children to eat some more. The boy kept saying that it was delicious, and he didn't want to tease Huihui anymore, so he stood in front of the table and ate the braised meat.

Yang Mingyuan stood up and took out five ten-liang silver ingots and one five-liang silver ingot from the cabinet and gave them to Chen Afu. He smiled and said, "If Miss Chen has a good recipe in the future, come to our restaurant again."
