      Chapter 56 Begging her

       "Are there any in town?" asked a cook.

       "No." The master said.

    "What about the Prefecture City?" Shopkeeper Sun asked.

      The master shook his head: "Prefecture City doesn't have it either. This kind of salted egg is only for dignitaries in Beijing, and ordinary Xiaozhou counties don't sell it."

       "That's not right." Shopkeeper Sun wondered, "This thing is only sold in Capital City, so could it be that the girl bought the goods from Capital City?"

    ——

      The stall is late today, regular customers are waiting anxiously.

       "Are you drifting away? People's Jinji has sold two pots!"

       Shen Chuan said sullenly.

      Su Xiaoxiao asked: "Hey? How did you come here today?"

       "Passing by." Shen Chuan said.

       "Oh." Su Xiaoxiao wrapped five egg yolk pastries and handed them to the aunt in front of her, "Your snacks cost one hundred yuan."

      Egg yolk cakes are expensive, ten cents more expensive than wife cakes and chestnut cakes.

       "Here, the list." Shen Chuan casually handed her the list he had kept all the way.

      Su Xiaoxiao was surprised: "Did you come here specially to send me the list? Actually, there is no need. After we finish the business here, we will go to the academy to get it by ourselves."

      Shen Chuan said angrily: "I told you I was passing by, and I just brought it to you!"

      Su Xiaoxiao asked: "You're a little angry today, and you're having trouble with the dean again?"

      Shen Chuan was said to be the center of the matter, and sighed: "He insisted that I go to study in Prefecture City after the spring, I don't want to go!"

       This is a family matter of the Shen family, so it is inconvenient for Su Xiaoxiao to comment.

       "Here you are." Su Xiaoxiao wrapped a family portrait of dim sum for him, "For you, no charge."

       "Why?" Shen Chuan asked.

       "Comfort you." Su Xiaoxiao said seriously.

      Shen Chuan: "..."

      Shen Chuan coughed lightly: "I am a big man, and I need a little girl from you to comfort me? Here!"

      He threw a small piece of silver to Su Xiaoxiao, "You don't need to look for it, I am happy today!"

      He wants to ruin his father's fortune!

       Defeated hard!

      The young master Shen, who had lost his fortune, walked away swaggeringly.

    Su Xiaoxiao handed over the money to Su Ergou to keep it safe: "Do you understand?"

      Su Ergou shook his head in a daze.

       don't understand, don't understand, why did Mr. Shen give more money when her sister didn't want money?

      Su Xiaoxiao patted him on the shoulder: "Learn slowly."

      The flow of people on the street is obviously much less than the previous days, and they came too late, many customers waited for a long time, thinking that they would not leave the stall today.

       "Sister, sales are a bit slow today." Su Ergou said.

       "It's okay, it's normal to have ups and downs in business." Su Xiaoxiao has a good attitude, probably really a fat man with a broad heart, and he is not in a hurry.

      The money she has on hand doesn’t include the dim sum and stewed vegetables business. She earns forty-five taels from selling recipes, and thirty taels of consultation money from Mr. Xiang, so she doesn’t have to worry about starving in the short term.

      However, the business always has to grow slowly. If she wants to expand the scale of production, she has to invest more capital.

       In addition, the family house is also old.

       This house was built when Mrs. Chen and Father Su got married. More than ten years later, the walls are cracked, the roof is hairy, and the wind and rain leak.

      She plans to put the building of the house on the agenda after the beginning of spring.

       After such a calculation, the money earned would have to be spent again before it was warmed up.

       While thinking about it, shopkeeper Sun walked over to Jin Kee with his hands behind his back.

       "Hey, Ms. Su, you're setting up a stall again."

      He came in front of the two, glanced at the snacks in Su Xiaoxiao's tray, and said with a smile: "Business is not very good today."

      Su Ergou didn't look good at this shopkeeper Sun who forced to buy their formula: "What are you doing here again? I warn you, there is no formula for you! I won't sell it in the future!"

       "I'm not here to buy the formula, I'm here to get your money back!"

       "Why refund? You took all the prescriptions, you don't want to blackmail us!"

      Su Ergou understands the routine of blackmailing people very well.

       Shopkeeper Sun took out a piece of formula from his wide sleeve, dusted it in front of Su Xiaoxiao, and said, "You sold me a fake formula! Even if you make a fuss in the yamen, you will not take it for granted!"

      Su Xiaoxiaodao: "I said it myself, you write it yourself, unless you make a mistake, there will be no problem with the formula."

       Shopkeeper Sun said: "But the dim sum I made according to your recipe is different from the one you sell!"

      Su Xiaoxiao looked puzzled: "Really?"

       Shopkeeper Sun beckoned behind him, and a waiter came trotting over with a plate of egg yolk crisps.

       "Taste yourself!"

       Shopkeeper Sun said.

      Su Xiaoxiao broke open the egg yolk cake: "Don't try it, it's really different from what I made."

       Shopkeeper Sun said coldly: "You admitted it!"

      Su Xiaoxiao said: "But I also made it strictly according to the recipe. It's not a problem with the recipe. It's because you bought the wrong ingredients. No wonder I!"

    Shopkeeper Sun gritted his teeth secretly, this girl is really not easy to scare...

      Ordinary people would panic when they were questioned like that, but this girl was so calm.

       Is she really a teenage village girl?

    Su Xiaoxiao said sternly: "Shopkeeper Sun, everyone opens the door to do business. If you are really open-minded to ask for advice, I can tell you in a personal way. If you want to blackmail me, I advise you to give up your heart! I will sell youThe formula is not afraid of you. I set up a stall at the entrance of your Jinji, and I did steal some of your business. It’s not too much. I just take it as a good relationship. But you bully our siblingtry!"

      Business negotiations, one is to have a thick skin, and the other is to have a strong aura.

       It doesn't matter whether you have it or not, it is enough for people to believe that you have it.

       This is the experience that Shopkeeper Sun has worked on for decades, but it was easily grasped by a little girl.

      Should say it or not, shopkeeper Sun really looks at Su Xiaoxiao with admiration at the moment.

       Of course, the kind with a bit of gnashing of teeth.

      Shopkeeper Sun said with a half smile: "Okay, as long as you are willing to tell where you bought your ingredients, I will believe you."

      Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows: "Is this your attitude of asking for help?"

      Su Ergou: Why does it sound like what my brother-in-law said?

       Shopkeeper Sun: "..."

       Shopkeeper Sun exaggeratedly smiled and said, "Ms. Su, where did you buy your salted egg yolk?"

       Don’t tell him it’s the capital city. If this girl has a source of goods from the capital city, is she still worried that he will cut off the flour in this town!

      Su Xiaoxiaofeng said calmly: "Oh, you said that, I did it myself."

       Shopkeeper Sun was stunned: "I, I, did it myself?"

      Su Xiaoxiao spread his hands: "Yes, don't you know how to do it? It's not very difficult."

       Shopkeeper Sun almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

      It’s not too difficult to call it. After hearing what you say, all the cooks in the town will come and beat you to death, okay?

      Su Xiaoxiao said generously: "For the sake of our cooperation, if you want the formula of salted eggs, I can sell it to you at a low price."

       Their Jin Kee sells dim sum, not ingredients, who the hell wants a recipe for salted eggs!

       According to this, do they have to grind their own flour, fry their sesame oil, grow their own star anise, and dry their own peppercorns?

       Turning around, also bought the recipes for white sugar and official salt, and it's all done.

       Yes, that is not far from death.

      In short, Kam Kee does not make ingredients by himself.

       Shopkeeper Sun said reluctantly: "I don't want the formula, but if you have any salted eggs on hand, you can sell them to me."

      Su Xiaoxiao sighed: "Well, although the method of making salted eggs is not difficult, it is very troublesome. I only made a few of them, and I didn't have enough for myself. Where can I sell them to you?"

       Shopkeeper Sun gritted his teeth: "The price is negotiable!"
