Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons
Chapter 160 Purchasing Secret Recipe
The day of departure finally arrived. The Hu family carefully packed Zhang Louxuan's luggage and even considered his diet during the exam.
Zhang Siwa was even more creative and made a kind of "instant noodles" that only needed to be boiled in hot water and added with special seasonings, so even cooking novices could easily enjoy it.
This innovative move not only made things convenient for Zhang Louxuan, but also made Zhang Siwa's snack stand famous in Chengguan County, attracting many diners.
The caravan set off before dawn. The Hu family hurriedly packed their luggage and escorted Zhang Laoer and Zhang Louxuan all the way to the city gate, watching their carriage go away.
Little Youniang nestled in her mother's arms and waved goodbye to the caravan that was moving farther and farther away. Her childish voice penetrated the morning mist: "Daddy and brother, please take good care of yourselves. Youniang and everyone else will be waiting here for you to return safely!"
The convoy went farther and farther away until it became a vague outline on the horizon. Suddenly, an arm stretched out from the car window and waved vigorously twice in the direction of Xiao Youniang. Xiao Youniang recognized it at a glance. It was her brother's hand, and a warm feeling suddenly surged in her heart.
After Zhang Laoer and Zhang Louxuan left home, the Hu family felt quite uncomfortable at first, but as time went by, everyone gradually got used to this pace of life.
With her well-behaved and lovely appearance, the little girl quickly won the love of everyone in the alley, especially the older generation, who would always take out candies or snacks from their pockets and give them to her whenever they met her.
This favor also made Xiao Youniang the center of attention among the children in the alley, and her peers often fought over the chance to sit with her.
Before Zhang Laoer and the others returned, Xiao Youniang had already established herself as the "king of children" in the Literati Alley.
At the same time, with the assistance of Hu Bin, Zhang Laoer and his son settled down smoothly in the provincial capital.
The Hu family father and son have been operating in Qingzhou City for many years, so they are familiar with the situation here. They have already reserved an economical and convenient residence for the Zhang family, which is close to the examination hall. Although the rent is slightly higher than the market price due to its superior geographical location, the Zhang family has no objection to this.
Although this courtyard is not big, it is extremely quiet. It is designed specifically for students preparing for exams. On weekdays, there is no other noise except the sound of reading aloud, providing Zhang Louxuan with an ideal review environment.
The Zhang father and son were struggling for fame and fortune in the provincial capital, while Xiao Youniang and Zhang Siwa were running a snack stand in the town wholeheartedly.
This stall was opened by Zhang Siwa using his pocket money which he had saved for half a year. Initially, his main dish was the "Siwa Braised Food" which was well-known in Zhangjia Village.
Before deciding to set up the stall, he went back to the village to tell his fellow villagers the news, his pride and anticipation were beyond words.
The villagers are grateful to Zhang Laoer's family, especially Zhang Siwa's cooking skills. The braised food is unforgettable.
After the Spring Festival, Zhang Siwa no longer made braised food in the village. Everyone was craving for it, so naturally they were happy to patronize his snack stand.
As soon as Zhang Siwa’s stall opened, it welcomed a group of loyal customers.
Although he has good skills, he is young after all, and it is too busy for him to look after the stall by himself.
Xiao Youniang often asked Xiao Ting for help, and Xu Liyun also went to support her youngest son whenever she was free.
Xiao You Niang is pretty and sweet-spoken. When she sees people, she calls them "Grandpa" and "Grandma" affectionately. When she meets people of the same age, she calls them "Brother" and "Sister" with a smile.
Even those who are not interested in braised food were moved by her enthusiasm and were willing to buy some to try.
The braised food is indeed delicious, and gradually, repeat customers come in an endless stream. Although I can’t say that I got rich, my investment is quickly recovered.
Later, the instant noodles invented by Zhang Siwa for his eldest brother's exam were not popular at first. After all, the noodles looked ordinary, but were more expensive than white flour. How could the frugal villagers easily accept it?
At the critical moment, Xiao Youniang once again lent a helping hand to Zhang Siwa.
She suddenly had an idea and started eating noodles in front of the stall, attracting the attention of passers-by.
Maybe it was the aroma of the cooking noodles, or the temptation of the marinade, or maybe it was the fact that the little girl's face while eating noodles was too tempting, instant noodles unexpectedly became popular!
Seeing that Xiao Youniang was eating with gusto, many children also clamored to eat. They even insisted on ordering the same braised pork noodles as her and enjoyed it while sitting face to face.
As the number of people eating noodles increases, the unique charm of instant noodles has also attracted attention.
The owner of Shanyuelou, the most famous restaurant in Chengguan County, noticed this and started to think about obtaining the recipe.
One afternoon, after selling things, Zhang Siwa took Xiao Youniang and Xiao Ting home, only to find several unfamiliar faces in the yard.
The leader was a middle-aged man with elegant clothes, a small mustache and shrewd eyes.
Although Zhang Siwa was surprised, he did not take it too seriously. Ever since Zhang Louxuan became a leader in the county, neighbors often came to visit his home, all wanting to get close to this promising young man.
The children were busy cleaning up the stall and preparing ingredients for the next day.
At this time, Xu Liyun called them together and introduced the uninvited guest: "This is Manager Liu from Shanyue Tower in the city. He came here specially to see you."
Zhang Siwa was stunned when he saw his mother's eyes: "What do you want from me, boss?"
How could a street vendor like him be associated with the luxurious restaurants in the city!
Shopkeeper Liu seemed to see through his thoughts and immediately smiled: "Don't get me wrong, young man. I came here for your secret recipe for instant noodles."
Shopkeeper Liu came straight to the point and his purpose was clear: he wanted to buy the secret recipe and dominate the instant noodle market.
When Zhang Siwa heard this, he became interested.
He set up the stall because he liked it and also because he wanted to make more money.
In his opinion, his father's income was meager, and he dreamed of expanding his business to all corners of the world in the future, but his meager savings were not enough to buy even a yard in the city.
Therefore, he was not averse to Manager Liu's visit. If the price was right, it would be fine to sell the secret recipe. At worst, he could make it and eat it privately.
When Shopkeeper Liu saw that Zhang Siwa was willing to talk, he was secretly happy, but he didn't take him too seriously.
When he discussed with Xu Liyun before, he found that she was smart and capable, and he was worried that his words would be discovered.
Upon learning that Xu Liyun had entrusted such an important matter to the children, Manager Liu had an idea in mind and planned to take the opportunity to lower the price.
When Zhang Siwa asked about the price, Manager Liu stroked his mustache and pretended to be distressed: "Although this instant noodle is not worthy of being served in a formal restaurant, our boss has a special liking for it, so we are willing to pay fifty taels of silver to buy out the secret recipe. You can eat it yourself, but you can't take it out. Once the secret recipe is leaked, Shanyuelou will hold you accountable!"
When Manager Liu mentioned the fifty taels of silver, he deliberately put on an expression that said "you've made a fortune", and did not notice that except for Xiao Youniang, the faces of everyone else had changed.
Zhang Siwa sneered, "Your restaurant is really generous. Fifty taels is ridiculously high."
Shopkeeper Liu raised his head slightly, thinking that the countryman was frightened by the number, and said proudly: "Yes, so you should hand over the secret recipe as soon as possible to promote good things!"
