Chapter 29
Su Guoer's stall was still outside and had been confiscated. However, she had brought back the cash box, so there was no need to worry about the remaining things being stolen.
Su Guoer felt a little choked while eating, so she found three more bowls. The mutton soup in the pot was almost cooked, so she simply adjusted the taste and served a bowl to everyone.
Seeing this, Wen Qianxi leaned over the edge of the bowl and sniffed it. She didn't like mutton, but today she inexplicably felt that the bowl of mutton soup in her hand was very tempting.
"Sister Guo'er? Did you put anything in this mutton soup? Why does it smell so good?"
Su Guoer: "Just add some ginger and salt, and simmer until it's soft. You don't need to add anything else."
Fatty had already started drinking. Wen Qianxi carefully tasted it and his eyes lit up: "Hmm? Not smelly at all?"
She was stunned and said, "I always thought the mutton soup sold outside and cooked at home had a strong smell of mutton. I didn't expect that after being stewed by you, it has no smell of mutton at all, and the soup is even white. How did you do it?"
"Oh," then realized that he had asked about someone's secret, and quickly changed the subject: "Sorry, this is your unique skill, if it's inconvenient to say it, don't say it."
Su Guoer smiled and said, "It's not inconvenient at all. If you want to stew mutton without the strong smell and keep the mutton soup white, you should do it the same way as you would with crucian carp. First, put the mutton and ginger slices into the pot and stir-fry until cooked. Then add hot water and simmer it. You can ask your chef to try it later."
Wen Qianxi was flattered. "Well, that won't work. Don't let him find out and take the recipe out to do business. I'm picky. This chef is one that my father spent a lot of time searching among the people to find. I can't let him go."
Then he remembered something and said, "Hey? What are you doing with the mutton soup so late at night? Why don't you sell it? The night market isn't over yet, so you should be able to sell a few more bowls."
Su Guoer: "Not many people drink soup in the evening, so I'm going to make this mutton soup and sell it for breakfast tomorrow, along with pot stickers."
After hearing this, Wen Qianxi's eyes lit up again: "Pot stickers? Then I can call my brothers to come over and buy some together tomorrow?" She said in surprise: "You don't know, after I brought the pot stickers you made back home at noon today, I didn't even eat a few bites because they snatched them all away. Later, they kept asking me where I bought them from, saying that they wanted to buy some back home for the kids to try."
"Hey, I told them you hadn't opened yet, and they were so mad."
Pang Ya: "Eat...pot stickers." She only heard the word pot stickers, and then she woke up immediately. She wanted to eat pot stickers, the crispy thing she had eaten for lunch.
Wen Qianxi: "I'll give it to you tomorrow."
Hearing this, Su Guoer looked at Wen Qianxi and asked, "Has she been like this since birth?"
Wen Qianxi thought for a moment and said, "Not really... She was picked up by my father while he was transporting an embassy. She was like this when we first found her. We've consulted many doctors, but none of them said she could be cured. That's why she only has the IQ of a one or two year old now."
"Later, my father saw how strong she was, so he kept her in our escort agency. But she's a real eater. In one meal, she can eat as much as the strong men in our escort agency eat in a whole day! Last time, my father even joked, 'Why don't we give her away?' She won't have to eat and drink for free here."
"Hey? Sister Guo'er, why don't you take her in?"
Wen Qianxi suddenly had a good idea: "Just ask her to help you in the restaurant on weekdays. No monthly salary, just provide her with food! Besides, she is strong and works quickly, so you can let her do heavy work like moving things."
"Oh, by the way, she knows a little bit of martial arts. If you're scared living here alone, you can ask her to come and accompany you. We've tried it before, and she was able to knock down three strong men in our escort agency with just her brute force. She's really strong!
But there is one bad thing about her: she is too obedient and will follow whoever gives her food."
"But Sister Guoer, you don't have to worry about this problem," Wen Qianxi said.
Su Guoer listened very carefully.
"You're a good cook. As long as you give her delicious food, she will definitely follow you wholeheartedly!"
this……
It is really within Su Guoer's consideration.
She had originally planned to hire a few waiters, but the waiters were not her own people after all. If they played tricks on her, she really wouldn't be able to handle it alone in the kitchen.
So she needed someone to help her. But she was all alone in Bianjing City, without any trusted confidants, and her friends were all locked up in the Duke's Mansion.
Fatty is simple, skilled in martial arts, and quite strong. Not only can she help you on a daily basis, she can also protect you. The key is: you don't have to worry about her having second thoughts.
As long as you satisfy her appetite, she will follow you wholeheartedly.
"Okay," Su Guoer said, "Then let her come and help me. How much silver do I need to give you?"
Wen Qianxi was stunned by this question, and then he immediately understood what Su Guoer meant. He waved his hand and said, "No need to pay her. She is not our maid. My father registered her as a good citizen. She is now an independent good citizen and cannot be bought or sold. Just let her follow you."
"I also come here to take a look every day. After all, we grew up together. If we can find someone who truly loves her in the future, we can work together to marry her off. I will be her family member to escort her to the bride."
Su Guoer: "Okay, then I'll give her a dowry."
The two hit it off immediately and quickly decided on Pang Ya's lifelong arrangements. Poor Pang Ya was so engrossed in drinking her soup that she didn't notice anything.
She drank it in small sips and it was very delicious. If she was not already full, she would have had another big bowl of mutton soup.
Su Guoer: "Oh, by the way, I only have one room here right now. How about letting Pangya stay at your place for a few days, and then I can bring her over after my house is repaired."
Wen Qianxi: "Okay, no problem. What time do you open your stall tomorrow? I'll ask her to come over and help you."
Su Guoer: "I might get up a little early on weekdays, so let her sleep a little longer?" Even if you prepare everything in advance to sell breakfast, you still have to get up early to catch up with the trackers' working hours.
So she will have to get up very early tomorrow. There is no other way. When running a business, it is okay as long as she can make money despite the hard work.
Wen Qianxi: "It's okay. We usually practice martial arts and get up before the cock crows. I'll ask her to come and help you then."
Su Guoer did not refuse anymore.
However, the store still does not have enough staff, and she needs to recruit more. It would be better for her to write the recruitment documents and hang them on the door tomorrow. She can feel more relaxed if she can recruit assistants and apprentices sooner.
