Wei Shi is telling the truth, as long as Zhizhi can eat well and lose weight, so that Zhizhi's body can be healthy, she is willing to give anything.

After Wei finished speaking, he couldn't help but said, "If Miss Xu is willing, I can give Miss Xu twenty taels of silver every month, and I don't need Miss Xu to run errands herself. Just call the maid or servant at home to get it, so as not to delay Miss Xu's other affairs."

"Madam doesn't need to pay so much every month." Xu Qinyu said with a smile: "Madam doesn't know, in a few days, my restaurant in Xicheng will open. Come over to eat, I will adjust the food that Ms. Yang ordered, and pay according to the price set on the wooden sign."

She opened a private restaurant before, and she also cooked fat-reducing meals for people, most of which were custom-made, which was quite popular.

As long as it is difficult to make the fat-reducing meal taste good, and the fat-reducing meal is unpalatable, then you don’t want to eat it at all. Naturally, you want to continue to drink milk tea and eat hot pot and barbecue delicacies, so the taste of the fat-reducing meal is also very important.

Even if it is a fat-reducing meal, she can also make amazing taste.

Wei said with a smile: "Then I wish the little lady's restaurant a boom in business and a lot of money, but Miss Xu's business is still half a month away, and she is busy in the early stage of opening, and even if it opens, Miss Xu will do it. Daily and evening meals are definitely different from Zhizhi’s weight-loss daily and evening meals, and are more troublesome, so please don’t refuse, Miss Xu, and pay Miss Xu on the basis of twenty-two months, and let Miss Xu do it in the future Zhizhi eats day and night."

She was thinking that if she paid more money, the little lady would be more attentive.

Otherwise, when the restaurant opens and gets busy, it will be very troublesome to prepare Zhizhi's daily and evening meals alone. What if the little lady doesn't want to continue cooking for Zhizhi because she finds it troublesome.

You can earn twenty taels a month by cooking daily and evening meals. Of course Xu Qinyu won't make trouble with money, "In this case, I won't refuse. Please rest assured, Ma'am. I guarantee that Miss Yang will not have the same food every day. Maybe it will lose weight slowly, but it will never hurt Miss Yang's body, and it will also make her full."

Wei's request is nothing more than that.

Everyone was willing to pay twenty taels of silver a month, so Xu Qinyu would not be stingy, and left Wei Shi and Yang Zhizhi with food at home.

Chaoshi's family ate custard buns, milk steamed buns, and boiled some bean porridge. The bean porridge also added a proper amount of japonica rice, which would make the taste better. It was served with some side dishes pickled by her, and it was a simple meal. North Korean food.

Since Yang Zhizhi and Wei Shi stayed at home to eat the morning meal, and there were still some beans soaked yesterday, Xu Qinyu took a casserole and added water, grabbed a handful of round-grained rice, washed it, and put it in the casserole together with the beans to cook, porridge After cooking, add some salt to taste, add the marinated fish fillets, the fish fillets are sliced ​​as thin as a cicada's wings, and the fish fillets can be cooked with only the temperature of the porridge, and finally sprinkle with chopped green onion and it's done.

A simple sashimi porridge is still suitable for people who want to lose weight, because some miscellaneous grains are added and no oil is added, so the taste is relatively light and sweet.

The fish porridge also has the softness and fragrance of beans, and the taste is richer.

Fish porridge was not enough, Xu Qin Yuqing fried a shredded spring bamboo shoot, and fried an egg skin with two eggs, the fried egg skin was just a few drops of oil.

Shredded spring bamboo shoots on the fried egg rolls become the most suitable egg rolls for reducing fat.

Yang Zhizhi and Wei Shi sat in the main room, and Wen Shi even made two cups of tea for them to drink.

When drinking tea, the two of them could smell the strong aroma of porridge, as well as the umami taste.

Donglaiju also has meat porridge. wonder how the fish porridge made by Mrs. Xu tastes like?

Because of Mrs. Wei, today's meal is for the hall.

The fish porridge happened to be shared between Yang Zhizhi and Wei Shi, just to give Wei Shi a taste of the fat-reducing meal that Yang Zhizhi ate. Wei Shi can eat the rest of the yolk-wrapped steamed buns and pickles, but Yang Zhizhi definitely can’t Eat, but Xu Qinyu saw that her gaze was still on the custard bun, so she gave Yang Zhizhi another custard bun.

Yang Zhizhi said happily: "Miss Xu, can I still eat this custard bun?"

After eating from Yunlan's place, she missed it.

Even if it is to lose weight, Xu Qinyu does not advocate quitting the food she likes, and it is fine to eat less.

Like custard buns, she made them purely by hand, there are no other additives in them, just a little bit of sugar, which is also slightly edible.

Xu Qinyu smiled and said: "Eat, there are not too many, one is fine."

Yang Zhizhi happily took a bite, she could eat the stuffing in one bite, it was sweet but not greasy, with a rich milky aroma, she couldn't help squinting her eyes, with a look of enjoyment on her face.

Seeing her daughter like this, Mrs. Wei remembered that she had heard about custard buns more than a month ago, and went to Qingfeng Pastry Shop and Donglaiju to inquire about them, so she couldn't help but pick up a custard bun and taste it first. Just glanced at Xu Qinyu, a little unbelievable, this taste is really good, the filling is sweet and delicate, the skin is fluffy and soft, it is sweet but not greasy, and the milk is rich.

This is only from the hands of a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old cook.

It's amazing.

She felt that if Mrs. Xu's restaurant opened, business would be very good in the future.

To be honest, it is indeed much more delicious than the food in Donglaiju.

It's no wonder that when the master mentioned the banquet he ate at Xu Kongmu's house in the morning, he slapped it.

After eating the custard buns, Mr. Wei tasted the fish fillet porridge again. The fish fillets were tender and delicious without any fishy smell. The porridge was also fragrant and rich, because of the added beans and the fragrance of the beans, the beans were very soft and glutinous. Like sometimes the bean porridge cooked by the cook at home, the beans are still a little hard, so she doesn't like to eat bean rice or bean porridge very much, but the fish fillet porridge with beans is delicious.

Eating such delicious food can also lose weight, Wei Shi felt that no one could refuse.

Egg burrito only has Yang Zhizhi's portion.

The egg burrito is also delicious, with a light taste, the fragrant egg and the crisp and refreshing taste of the spring bamboo shoots, an egg burrito can be eaten cleanly.

After eating, Yang Zhizhi was almost eight to nine points full.

Xu Qinyu added: "Miss Yang can eat some fruits after each meal, such as pears and citrus water chestnuts. At other times, you can drink more warm white water, and the weight loss effect is better."

In ancient times, there were only pears, oranges and water chestnuts. Citrus water chestnuts were more expensive, and most people couldn't afford them. However, Yang Zhizhi's family should be quite wealthy, otherwise they wouldn't spend twenty taels a month for her to lose weight. .

Yang Zhizhi nodded vigorously, "I can save it all."

After eating Chao Shi, Wei Shi and Yang Zhizhi returned.

Wei Shi couldn't hold back when he left, so he and Xu Qinyu bought some custard buns and pickles.

Xu Qinyu now cooks less custard buns and eats them for his own family. He doesn't make them often. He makes them every two or three days, and his family eats them and sells them to the Xu family and the Xia family.

Because this custard bun is the size of a fist, it is more expensive than a meat bun, and people in Osmanthus Lane are reluctant to eat it.

At present, there are few custard buns. When restaurants open, custard buns and milk steamed buns will become the main food of the restaurant, and the price can also be sold.

And Xu Qinyu was not afraid of the milk being cut off, because Uncle He helped her find another milk supplier again.

That family is a large cattle-raising family, and the main purpose of raising cattle is to sell calves.

Although calves are expensive, they are experts in cultivating land, and some wealthy businessmen or officials who have a lot of fields will buy some cattle.

Even a wealthier family with a few acres of land at home would want to buy a calf and cultivate the land when they have money.

Therefore, the buffaloes in his lactation period are basically unbroken, and there are several buffaloes in the same lactation period, which are enough for restaurants to make milk steamed buns and milk tea.

However, after two days, she had to make time to go and sign a contract with the family.

Because now Uncle He helped her to buy a bucket and brought it over, and she also asked Uncle He to supply more buckets of milk every day, long-term cooperation, and whether the family was willing to sign the deed.

There is too much milk for the calf to drink and no one buys it, so the family is naturally willing.

When Yang Zhizhi left, Xu Qinyu went to rent a carriage to prepare to go there.

Because that family lives in Shunxi Town, which is some distance from Yuanbao Town, if it were an ordinary donkey cart and ox cart, it would take an hour to get there. She would come back in the afternoon to make fish, so she would not be able to make it in time, and the carriage took half an hour. can run.

The rented carriage will be driven by a driver. The driver is a man. Mrs. Wen was worried that Yu Niang was alone and went with her.

When they arrived in Shunxi Town, Xu Qinyu found the family according to the address given by Uncle He.

The family's surname is Wan, and the elders of the family are still there. The two brothers in the family work together to make a living for the buffalo.

Xu Qinyu said that he planned to open a restaurant and needed fresh milk for food every day, so he would buy five to ten buckets of milk from them every day in the future, and a bucket of milk was about ten pounds. He also said that he would make a living in the future. If it is good, she may buy more, and she is willing to give twenty cents for the price of a bucket of milk.

These milk cannot be sold at all on weekdays, and no one wants ten cents.

Now some people are willing to buy a barrel for twenty cents, ten barrels is two hundred cents, and a month is six taels of silver.

Six taels of silver is not a small amount, the two brothers of the Wan family can each share three taels, so why not do it.

The premise of Xu Qinyu's willingness to give 20 cents is that during the period when she opens the restaurant, she must be supplied with five to ten buckets of milk every day. If she wants to increase the amount of milk, the price must not be increased. It is the original price, and as long as she starts eating During the four-year period, the price of milk was 20 cents a barrel, and a barrel must be enough for 10 catties.

If the price is raised for no reason or if the milk is not sold to her, she will be compensated for 20 taels of silver.

After thinking about it, the two brothers signed the contract.

They thought that no one would buy a bucket for ten cents. This little lady was willing to buy a bucket for twenty cents. How could they increase the price or not sell it to her.

After signing the deed, Xu Qinyu told the two brothers that Uncle He or his family would come to fetch milk every day in the future.

Naturally, Uncle He helped her to fetch milk and deliver it to the restaurant, and he would also pay Uncle He a few hundred pennies a month.

Xu Qinyu collected the deed and returned to Osmanthus Lane with Mrs. Wen.

...

During the evening meal, Xu Qinyu prepared steamed shredded eel for Yang Zhizhi, drizzled it with the sauce she adjusted, and made a paste with shredded radish and eggs, seasoned with salt and five-spice powder, and fried a shredded radish with less oil. Egg pancakes, served with a bowl of multigrain rice.

The twilight food was taken by Mrs. Wei in person, and she also brought Xu Qinyu two small ingots, exactly twenty taels of silver.

In the morning, Mrs. Wei didn't bring any silver, so she just sent one piece.

After receiving the money, Xu Qinyu began to make morning and evening food for Yang Zhizhi every day, and after that, a maid from the Yang family named Chunhong came to take the food box as a carriage.

In the days that followed, Xu Yunlan and Yang Zhizhi also came to play with Xu Qinyu every now and then.

With Cheng Geer, Xu Qinyu can rest for two hours a day. In his spare time, he can sit with the two of them in the courtyard and chat for a while, talking about some gossip among the parents on the East Street and West Street. , Xu Qinyu also listened with relish, just like listening to celebrity gossip.

If she was busy, Xu Yunlan and Yang Zhizhi would just sit in the yard and play with Heiyu.

Half a month later, Yang Zhizhi has lost seven pounds.

Yang Zhizhi didn't weigh herself every day, and it was a little troublesome to weigh herself, so she planned to weigh herself every two weeks.

Seeing that the opening day of the restaurant is getting closer and closer, Xu Qinyu also goes to the restaurant from time to time to check the progress of the repair and decoration, and it is almost completed.

The kitchen was also renovated. Xu Qinyu added a cooking table. There was no cooking table before, and the cooking and washing were all on the long table. Her cooking table was very convenient for washing and brushing.

There are three large stoves in the kitchen, and she has also bought a lot of other large and small stoves, which are enough for her to use, but she has not found a cook yet.

She posted a notice on the door of the restaurant, saying that if she wants to find two help cooks, she needs to be proficient in one of the white or red cases, and be able to eat one or two dishes. Teaching cooking skills, her assistant chef can be used as a chef in other restaurants and small restaurants, so everyone is thinking that the chef of this small restaurant is a famous chef? Otherwise, how can you speak so loudly?

But why do famous chefs stay in a small restaurant to be a cook? I am afraid that if they go to any prosperous state city, they will be scrambled by major restaurants.

Everyone was confused for a while.

I was also a little curious, and asked the female shopkeeper of the Rouge Gouache shop next to him about the origin of the chef of the restaurant.

Every time the female shopkeeper shook her head strangely, she said she didn't know.

However, a few cooks came to Pei's residence in Osmanthus Lane to apply for the job.

At the beginning, they were cheerfully asking about the salary. In terms of salary, Xu Qinyu gave three taels of silver.

The cooking skills of these assistant cooks are actually equivalent to being able to work as cooks in restaurants or small restaurants, and the wages are mostly around three or four silver.

The three taels Xu Qinyu gave were enough for them to be satisfied, but these cooks also wanted to apply for the job. If they were really famous chefs in this restaurant, they could become apprentices of famous chefs, even if they didn't need wages, they would be willing.

So after asking about the salary, it is natural to ask who is the chef of the restaurant.

When asked, couldn't help but look around, wanting to see if there were any elderly people who were older.

Those who can become famous chefs are all in their fifties.

They thought that the little lady who answered the question was the famous chef's family or something.

Who would have thought that this beautiful little lady told them with a smile, "I am the chef of the restaurant."

After hearing the answer, these cooks were all stunned without exception, and then angrily threw a nonsense sentence and left with their sleeves.

Xu Qinyu couldn't laugh or cry, and wanted them to stay and taste her cooking skills before making a decision, but they didn't listen.

The main reason is that when these cooks came to apply for the job, it was at noon or just after noon. On weekdays, Pei's family would eat morning and evening meals, and the fragrance was attractive. Naturally, if they didn't cook for the rest of the time, they would not have the aroma of the food.

If they smelled this fragrance when they were eating morning and evening, they might hesitate a bit, but the timing was wrong. When they saw the little lady who was fifteen or sixteen saying that she was the chef, they thought it was the little lady who was teasing them, so naturally they were very upset angry.

So until now, the helper has not been found.

Xu Qinyu can only follow fate.

There is a brother who cuts vegetables, he is mainly responsible for cutting vegetables in the kitchen, and he can train faster.

She is not afraid that the cook is alone, but she is a little tired.

In the past few days, the restaurant has been completely completed, and it can only be opened after cleaning and the wood paint is completely dry. It is estimated that it will only take five or six days.

As for the ingredients, there is no rush. She is already familiar with these processes in a private restaurant, and it is enough to prepare them the day before the opening. Some ingredients and vegetables have to be bought in the morning, so that they are fresh enough.

The next day, two brothers Wen Shuncheng and Wen Shungong came over, and they couldn't hide their joy on their faces.

Xu Qinyu knew at a glance that a happy event had happened in his family.

As for the happy event of Wen's family and the third wife, it should be the separation of the family.

I'm afraid that even Wen San's master has made a lot of money and is in Sanfang is not considered a happy event.

Xu Qinyu asked, "Why are Brother Cheng and Brother Gong so happy?"

Wen Shungong hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law four, our family is splitting up!"

It turned out that last night, when Wen Shuncheng and Wen Shungong hadn't returned home, Wen Zixiao, the third master of the Wen family, happened to be back at dinnertime.

Wen's family was still eating evening food, and he returned home after a long journey, and sat at the dinner table to eat evening food.

The taste of evening food was not very good, so the Yue family in the big house couldn't help but say, "Sister and sister, today's food is a bit salty again, there are small stones in the food."

Meng said gently, "Sister-in-law said yes, I will pay more attention next time."

Wen Zixiao's face darkened when he heard it.

"Since the sister-in-law dislikes the food she cooks unpalatable, why doesn't she want to do it herself? Since she came to this remote place, the sister-in-law treats our three-bedroom servants as servants, and my wife, aunt and aunt are responsible for the laundry and cooking in the house. If my daughter does it, even if I am just a concubine, it is still my father's biological son, and my wife and daughter should not be so humiliated.

As soon as Wen Zixiao's words were finished, Mrs. Wen slapped the table and said angrily, "Thirdest, you are such a nonsense! How can you say that about your elder sister-in-law."

Wen Zixiao got up and came to Mrs. Wen's side, and knelt down in front of Mr. Wen with a thud.

Wen Zixiao lowered his head and said neither arrogantly nor arrogantly: "Both my father also feels that it is normal for the whole family to treat my wife, my daughter and my aunt as slaves. I have nothing to say."

"You, you son of a bitch!" The old man was furious, "When did I say that I treated them as slaves?"

Wen Zixiao said: "That's the case, why are they both family members in the house, but the second house does not have to do anything, while the third house has to do everything in the house? Could it be that they are slaves and like to work? What's more, the three In the house, I also make money on weekdays. Although I don’t give much to my father every month, I work hard outside. I never thought that I was dedicated to the house, but my brother and sister-in-law treated my wife and daughter as slaves. My son felt really uncomfortable. I don't want my wife, daughter and aunt to continue to be treated as slaves."

The old man Wen was speechless when he was questioned, and was speechless for a while.

Mrs. Wen was a little unhappy, "What's wrong with letting your daughter-in-law do something, she came out of a small family, unlike your sister-in-law and second-in-law, who are girls from famous families who can't do these tedious housework, you If you really feel that they are bullying you, if you want to split the family, you can only split you out, but you have to know that when we are exiled to the border town, we have nothing left, and you can’t even give extra money, and this house is even more impossible to give. You, given it to you, is it difficult for your father, mother and eldest brother and second brother to live out? Since I can't give you anything, you can only take your wife and daughter to live there. Don't say the big room and the second room again. bully you!"

Mrs. Wen didn't want to raise a three-bedroom family for a long time.

If you want her to say that it is not easy to work in the third room, it is better to buy a slave to return.

Otherwise, the cost of food and clothing on weekdays should not be counted as one for three bedrooms.

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Wen never thought about splitting up the family. The three were his sons. Although he was indeed more partial to the two direct-born sons, how could the split family separate the concubine sons, wouldn't they let outsiders gossip?

Mrs. Wen's Mrs. Yue was also cold-hearted by Wen Zixiao's words. She had long wanted to split up the family. The three bedrooms were a burden to them. If the shop opened and made money in the future, even if the shop was hers She paid for it with the money from her dowry, but she would definitely support the third room with food and clothing, so she wasn't happy.

Seeing that the father-in-law was still blocking, Yue shi reached out and tugged at the sleeve of his master.

Master Wen immediately sighed and patted Wen Zixiao on the shoulder, "Third brother, neither your elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law know how to do housework, so the third younger brother and younger sister can share more, but how can you say that the third younger brother and younger sister is a The slaves use such words, don't you think that even the eldest brother and I are bullying your third room, if you really think like this, the family will be separated, and we don't need to be angry with this."

Wen Zixiao frowned.

Grandpa Wen glared at the eldest son, but still did not agree with the separation.

Wen Zixiao said: "If my father does not agree to the separation, I will also move out with my wife, son and daughter, and my aunt. When someone asks, I will only say that the three rooms are like slaves in the Wen family, even if they go to the government to be punished. I also recognize the board!" In any case, even if he was separated, he didn't want his family to stay in this home.

Even the second master Wen Er came out and said, "Third brother, what are you doing? Our three brothers have always had a good relationship. How could this little thing hurt the three brothers' relationship?"

Wen Zixiao was silent.

Mrs. Wen pulled Mr. Wen's sleeve hard.

Looking at the stubborn son-in-law, Mrs. Wen knew that the family would not be separated today, and I was afraid that he would really be able to take the third room out of Wen's house to go out for a single business, so he was also a little angry and said, "It's not impossible for the third child to want to split up the family, but Apart from the 2 taels of silver you give each month, the mansion has no income. Your mother and I don't have any money. This house and the two shops I bought before were also purchased by your elder sister-in-law and second-sister-in-law's dowry. I can't divide you, so you can't divide your family, you can't divide anything, are you still willing?"

Wen Zixiao said: "My son is willing, but it's useless, he can only earn 2 taels of silver per month, so in the future, only half of the 2 taels of silver earned per month can be used to honor you and your mother. To despise."
