Dahai delivered Liu Qinghuan's freshly made preserved egg and tofu to the Zhou and She families one by one. He walked back with happy steps, his stomach trembling.
“Ouch!”
Dahai was walking when he saw the little maid walking in front of him fall to the ground and struggle to stand up.
"Are you...are you okay?"
Dahai hurried forward to help her. When the little maid looked up, she looked pretty, with fair and tender skin.
“…”
.
Mrs. Zhou and Mr. Zhou were having dinner when a servant came to tell them that someone from the Happy Restaurant had come to deliver the food.
"What kind of food was delivered? We didn't order anything from Happy Restaurant today... Maybe they were too busy and got confused."
Mrs. Zhou looked at the lunch box handed to her by Zhou Liu with a look of anticipation.
"It's a new dish, sent here for the master and his wife to try."
Zhou Liu took out the preserved egg and tofu from the lunch box. Mrs. Zhou was stunned: "What...what is this? I have never seen it before!"
Zhou Liu lowered his head and answered respectfully, "The person who came here said it was a crystal egg, made from duck eggs, and that it took a whole month to make."
The last time Huanxi Restaurant launched crystal cake, it became popular in half of Yuncheng.
This time they have launched a crystal egg, I wonder what kind of trouble it will cause.
Madam Zhou picked up a piece with her chopsticks and put it in Master Zhou's bowl: "It looks good, but it's a duck egg that has been stored for a month. Try it first."
Mr. Zhou glared at Madam Zhou and curled his mustache: "Let me try it first, huh."
With his eyes closed, Mr. Zhou put the egg into his mouth.
"Hmm! Not bad!" Mr. Zhou picked up another piece of tofu with his chopsticks and said, "Try it."
Mrs. Zhou then picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in the bowl: "It must be good. How can Xiao Liu's new dish be bad?"
Mr. Zhou snorted.
I don’t know who was afraid to eat it just now.
He took another piece of food with chopsticks and examined it carefully: "Look, Ali, there are flowers growing in it."
"What?" Mrs. Zhou's eyes widened as she took a piece and examined it. "Yes, yes, look at mine. It has so many flowers on it. It's really beautiful. It's all your fault."
"Why do you blame me?" Mr. Zhou has always been helpless with his wife. "What do you blame me for?"
"Now that I know how delicious it is, I can't bear to eat it."
"Tsk," Master Zhou sneered, "If you don't eat it, I will."
"Put it down! Xiao Liu sent this to me!"
The two of them were fighting over the food, then passing it to each other, making the maids behind them full of dog food.
"Madam, I think this crystal egg tastes great and can be stored for a month. Why don't we buy some from the Happy Restaurant and bring them with me next time I go out to trade. What do you think?"
After the two of them had finished their meal, Mrs. Zhou lay on the chaise longue while Mr. Zhou sat beside her and peeled oranges for her.
"As expected of Boss Zhou, he'll take every penny he can," Mrs. Zhou said jokingly. "But the price isn't good. If it's too high, we won't make much profit. The last time Xiao Liu sent me a new dish, it was Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. The price in the restaurant is six hundred wen a bowl."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhou said, "The ingredients used in Buddha Jumps Over the Wall are all top-quality, and the price is reasonable. The raw material for these crystal eggs is duck eggs, and wholesale they sell for two cents at most. How can they be that expensive?"
"It's expensive because it tastes good, takes time to make, and because she's the only one of hers."
Mr. Zhou was used to coaxing his wife: "This still depends on my wife. You have a good relationship with the young lady from the Liu family. You can come forward to test the waters first, or we can wait and see for a few days to see how the preserved egg market is doing."
Mrs. Zhou had a smile on her face, but she was not easy to forgive: "You still bother me with such a small matter."
"Isn't this because my wife is virtuous? Other masters don't have this blessing like me."
"I was fooled by your words and married you."
Mrs. Zhou said this, but her eyes were full of joy.
