Chapter 126 Chapter 126 "Okay,...
"Okay, Uncle Meng will be back in the future. Let's eat. Where did you find this chef? The food is delicious." Master Wen asked while putting braised pork into his mouth.
Lin then realized that her husband and father-in-law had unknowingly emptied the plate of braised pork. She immediately stopped caring about anything else and quickly asked the maid to move the plate away. She looked at Old Master Wen with a resentful look.
"Dad, the doctor said you need to eat less greasy and fatty foods and more fruits and vegetables."
When Old Master Wen heard this, a guilty look flashed across his eyes, but he immediately became confident and said, "I'm already this old. If I don't eat now, when will I eat?"
After saying this, he instructed the maidservant next to him, "Chunhua, bring that plate of meat to me."
However, after he finished speaking, the maid didn't move for a long time. He looked over and found that the maid was looking at Lin's face, which made him so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
Okay, okay, now no one in this family listens to him, right?
He changed his dish, since there were delicious dishes on the table anyway.
Thinking of this, he stretched out his chopsticks to another dish of candied pork knuckle, but just as he stretched out his chopsticks, Lin coughed and the maid took it away.
"Dad, this steamed sea bass tastes good." Lin stood up and put the fish in front of the old man herself. Seeing this, the old man was so angry that he threw down his chopsticks and refused to eat.
But Lin had long been accustomed to this scene. In the past few years, ever since her father-in-law had a stroke and was not allowed to eat these things, this scene would occur every time she ate. Lin was not panicked at all.
The room was silent for a moment, but before a minute had passed, Old Master Wen spoke up and asked the maid to bring him another pair, and then he started eating the steamed sea bass.
Who would have thought that after just one bite, Old Man Wen's taste buds were captivated by the tenderness of the sea bass and the deliciousness of the sauce. You know, he has eaten a lot of steamed fish since he recovered from his stroke, but most of the time the steamed fish made by the chef was either not too old or not too fishy. In short, no fish was to his taste. But today the fish was delicious, without any fishy smell, and even had a faint fragrance of ginger and green onion. The soup inside was also very fresh. He took a bite of fish and a sip of soup, and soon half of the fish was eaten by Old Man Wen.
Master Wen, who was standing by, saw that his father had given up resisting, so he had no choice but to turn to other light dishes. However, what he didn't expect was that the other dishes were also very delicious. The kind of deliciousness was not greasy. You could taste the flavor of the ingredients themselves while also tasting another layer of freshness. In the end, Master Wen ate so much that his belly became full, and his original belly became three points bigger, like a woman who was six months pregnant.
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal. After the meal, Lin hurried to buy some things to take away for Song Ling. Old Master Wen called Song Ling over and gave him some detailed instructions. This matter was not mentioned for the time being.
As for Su Li, after having lunch at the Wen Mansion, she soon received the maidservant of Lin's family and her reward for the day, which was 8 taels in total. Originally, it was agreed to be 6 taels, but Lin was very satisfied and rewarded Su Li with 2 taels. She also gave Su Li a piece of beef and some vegetables and fruits such as peaches and plums.
"They are all grown on our own farm. My wife asked Madam Su to bring them back to taste."
Su Li thanked her and prepared to go back with her things, but the maid stopped Su Li and her sister and said, "Madam also said that there are many flowers blooming in the garden of the mansion. If you two young ladies like, you can go and have a look before leaving."
Mrs. Lin was so thoughtful that Su Li didn't know how to thank her. She secretly thought about making some rice dumplings and giving them to her during the Dragon Boat Festival next month.
The maid left after she finished speaking. Su Tao saw her walk away and returned to her original form in a second, "Fifth sister, can we go and take a look?"
As soon as she entered the Wen Mansion, she was mesmerized by the prosperity and beauty of the mansion. She thought everything inside was good. Now when she heard the maid say that the lady allowed them to go shopping, she stopped complaining of being tired.
Su Li hesitated for a moment, and she also wanted to see what the garden in Madam Lin's mansion looked like, so that she could refer to it and renovate her own house in the future, so she agreed.
So the two of them went to the garden together according to the direction the maid said.
Fortunately, the kitchen is not far from the garden and can be seen by walking through a few doors.
"Fifth sister, this garden is so big..." Su Tao stared at the scene in front of her in amazement. Su Li was not much better. She originally thought that the Wen Mansion should not be big, but when she arrived at the garden, she found that it was a different world. The first thing that caught her eye was a large garden full of flowers and trees of various colors. Butterflies and bees were flying around in the sunshine. There was also a lake not far away, which was full of lotus flowers, pavilions, towers, carved beams and painted buildings.
The two of them walked together and sighed, dazzled by the sight. Su Li couldn't imagine how happy she would be if she owned a house like this, but it was too big and difficult to take care of.
Thinking of this, Su Li suddenly remembered a video she had seen before. She said that she couldn't imagine how happy it would be to own such a mansion, but it was difficult to maintain. The comment below said: You have already bought a villa, but you still want to clean it yourself?
This is similar to Su Li's current idea. Yes, if you have the money to buy a house like this, you must hire someone to clean it. How can you clean it yourself?
The only thing to do is to earn more money so that you can pay it later.
"Fifth sister, look, there is a boat here." The two walked to the lake, and Su Tao pointed at the black-sailed boat docked on the shore and said.
Su Li looked over and saw a teapot on top, which must have been used by the owner of the mansion for boating on the lake.
Then the two of them strolled around in the shade before returning home happily.
Su Ji Food Shop,
As soon as Su Li and Su Tao returned to the food store, they heard Chen say, "Wu Ya, why are you back so late? Master Song has been waiting for you for a long time."
Young Master Song? Waiting for her? Su Li was confused and was dragged into the backyard by Chen. Sure enough, she saw a man in green sitting at a stone table, drinking tea.
Chen said, "Mr. Song, Wu Ya is back."
Song Ling turned around, "Madam Su."
Su Li, "Mr. Song."
"Excuse me, Mr. Song, is there anything I can help you with?" Su Li thought that the other party came to her because she had not given him complete information that day.
However, Song Ling's next words stunned Su Li. Chen, who was standing next to her, even asked, "Mr. Song, are you saying you want to buy the recipe for the hot and sour noodles we ate the other day? Or do you want to use 1,000 taels?"
After receiving Song Ling's affirmative answer, Chen still didn't dare to believe it. However, only Su Li understood that the other party bought not only the recipe for making this dish, but also the recipe for making instant powder.
Calculated this way, the price is not so outrageous. Others may not know, but Su Li knows that if instant powder is produced on a large scale and transported across the country by sea and land, the profit will be more than one thousand taels. However, precisely because of the high profit, Su Li dare not do it. After all, with a family background like hers, it is a question whether she can protect it. Thinking about it this way, it is better to sell it to the other party, so that the other party will owe her family a favor and will be more concerned about finding her father and brother.
So, Su Li agreed after just thinking about it, and then they signed the contract and both parties signed it.
Once it is written, take it to the government office to get it stamped and it will become a document that complies with the laws of this dynasty.
However, the court is corrupt nowadays. The last time Su Li bought a house, she was extorted several taels of silver. So it doesn't matter whether there is a seal or not. What matters most is the integrity of both parties. No, it depends on Su Li's integrity. "Don't worry, Mr. Song. I will not sell the recipe to anyone else in the future, and I will not use it myself."
Unexpectedly, Song Ling said, "Don't worry, Madam Su. If you want to sell it, you can."
Su Li was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect the other party to be so nice, but then she thought about it again. Yes, the other party was going to the north and probably wouldn't come back in a short time. Her selling this would not affect him.
"Thank you, Mr. Song."
Then Su Li used the remaining paper and ink to write down the recipe. Originally, she wanted to demonstrate the method to the other party, but the other party had to leave the next day, so she had to give up. However, Su Li wrote the recipe in great detail, so she was not worried. She just needed to find someone who could cook to know how to make it.
After collecting the banknotes with excitement, Su Li then remembered the food she had prepared for him, as well as the clothes made by her grandmother, Wu Po, and hurriedly called Song Ling to give the things to him.
"It's nothing else, just some food and clothes. Don't mind, Mr. Song."
"No, thank you." Song Ling said softly as he handed the thing to Shu Jiu who was standing beside him.
"Then I wish you a safe journey, Master Song and Master Shu Jiu."
Song Ling responded straightforwardly, "Okay." Only Shu Jiu looked reluctant.
"Madam Su, I will come back again!"
After saying this, the two of them rode away on horseback.
Here, after seeing the two of them leave, Chen secretly asked Su Li, "Isn't that too much?"
She wanted to ask just now, the previous recipe only sold for two or three hundred taels, how could this one sell for so much?
Su Li heard this and slowly analyzed the pros and cons to her. Chen then suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."
Suddenly I no longer felt that it was expensive, and even felt that it was cheap.
But it is just as Wu Ya said, her family has no power or influence, so it is better to sell it, and besides, Mr. Song is a good person.
Thus, the matter came to an end. After receiving the money from the seller, Su Li immediately prepared to find Manager Jin and planned to buy the restaurant.
Su Li also discussed this matter with the rest of the family, but no one had any objections and was extremely supportive. This made Su Li feel a little uncomfortable and began to worry. What if she invested the money but couldn't make it back? More than a thousand taels of silver was not a small amount of money. In this era, you could lie down and not work for a lifetime. It was an astronomical amount that many people could not earn in their entire lives. What if...
Even after noticing that she was under a lot of pressure, he comforted her, "Wu Ya, just go for it boldly. It doesn't matter whether you can make money or not. At worst, we can just go back to farming."
"Yes, I used to think too much. I'm not as good as you..."
"Fifth sister, it's okay, just go ahead and do it."
After hearing this, Su Li felt much better, so she went to Yaoyue Tower with peace of mind.
At Yaoyue Tower, when Su Li arrived, she saw Shopkeeper Jin scolding the man who was maliciously trying to lower the price, and then he poured himself a cup of tea and drank it.
Su Li, "Shopkeeper Jin."
Jin Buhuan saw Su Li coming and quickly stood up, "Madam Su, you're here?"
He began to wonder the purpose of Su Li's visit. Was she planning to buy his restaurant?
