The happy little days of crossing

In the early morning of the next day, Lin Han'er ran out to play with the little friends in the village after having breakfast because the school was on holiday today.

Lin Baoer cleans the house and mends clothes alone at home.Lin Baoer wanted to do what she was doing and went to the hills near the village to see if there were any edible ingredients or medicinal materials, but she didn't expect a nobleman to visit her family.

As soon as Lin Baoer opened the door of her courtyard, she came face to face with Zhou Chen who had just got off the carriage and was about to knock on the door. "Hey." Lin Baoer took a step back subconsciously, damn it, I almost kissed her.

Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows, is he that scary? Lin Baoer put on a look of being surprised to see him, as if he shouldn't be here. "Why, Brother Bao was surprised to see me?"

Nonsense, if you open the door early in the morning and see a person who has no contact with you at all and who shouldn't come to your house appear in front of you, wouldn't you be surprised? "Hehe, I was a bit surprised, why did Master Zhou come to my house?" Lin Baoer said with a smile.Don't think that he doesn't know Zhou Chen's reason for coming, isn't it just for the prescription of the birthday cake, but as for coming early in the morning.

"I don't think someone as smart as Brother Bao doesn't know why I'm here?"

"Of course." Lin Baoer was very helpful to Zhou Chen's words of praise.

"Hehe, is Brother Bao going to stand at the door and talk to me?"

"How come, Master Zhou, please." Lin Baoer made a gesture of invitation, signaling Zhou Chen to enter the yard.

Zhou Chen walked into the courtyard, Lin Baoer pointed to the two servant-like people standing by the carriage outside the door, and asked Zhou Chen, "Master Zhou, do you need to invite the two standing by the carriage outside together? "

Zhou Chen shook his head, smiled and said to Lin Baoer: "No need, Ah Er Ah San will drive the carriage away. They will pick me up at noon. I don't think Brother Bao will mind if I stay and use a car." Let's have lunch."

"Hehe, of course I don't mind. It's enough that Master Zhou doesn't dislike my family's rough dishes and light meals." He is so handsome, why are you smiling at him, motherfucker, if he says he minds, will you leave, Master Zhou? , Do you pretend that he doesn't know whether he minds or not? The answer is no.

"Yesterday, I had the honor to taste the food cooked by Brother Bao. The taste is comparable to that of a chef in a restaurant. Brother Bao doesn't have to be so modest."

"Where is it. Master Zhou, please sit down, don't stand here."

"Well."

Lin Baoer closed the courtyard door, entered the living room, poured a glass of water, came to the courtyard and sat opposite Zhou Chen, and put the water glass in front of Zhou Chen, "Master Zhou, there is no good tea to entertain you in the humble house, and I will give you a glass of white water." Don't be disgusted, young master."

Zhou Chen picked up the water glass and took a sip, then said with a smile, "Brother Bao, don't call me Young Master Zhou, can you call me Zhou Chen?"

"Huh? Is this okay?"

"Hehe, why not, it's an honor for me to be friends with Brother Bao."

"Young Master Zhou really flattered me."

"Huh? Isn't Brother Bao unwilling to be friends with me?"

"Of course not, Mr. Zhou... Oh, no, it's Zhou Chen. It's a pleasure to make a friend like you."

While Lin Baoer and Zhou Chen were talking, husbands from several families near Lin Baoer got together and chatted, and they were talking about Lin Baoer and Zhou Chen.

"Hey, big family, where do you think Brother Bao met a rich man? He came by a carriage. The carriage is so precious."

"Shuangsheng's family, aren't you the closest to Brother Bao's house? You don't even know how we know."

"Let me tell you guys, the boy who entered the yard of his house with Brother Bao is very handsome. You think he is a friend of Brother Bao, right?"

Lin Lier, who just happened to witness the whole process from the side, heard the conversation of the husbands, and said sourly: "Only Lin Baoer's rich son can fall in love with him, let him dream."

When Lin Lier said this, the husbands were not happy, because Brother Bao is a very sensible and good brother.

"Brother Li, don't say that, it's not like you don't know how good Brother Bao is, you see he's still leading our villagers to make money."

"That's right, Brother Li, you say that because you are jealous of Brother Bao. I heard what happened in the mountain collection last time. The village chief Fulang said that if you are like this, who dares to marry you in the future."

"The Dacheng family is right, Brother Li, don't be jealous of Brother Jia Bao, who is also 12 years old, you are not as capable as Brother Jia Bao."

Lin Lier stomped her feet resentfully, gave those husbands a blank look, and ran away.

After the husbands said a few words about Lin Lier's impoliteness together, they each dispersed and went home to work.

Besides, after Lin Baoer and Zhou Chen chatted about some things, they finally talked about the purpose of Zhou Chen's visit today.

"Brother Bao, you already know the purpose of my visit today. Ming people don't say dark words, so I'll just say it. How much money do you need to sell me the recipe for your birthday cake yesterday?"

"Hehe, Zhou Chen and we have cooperated so many times, the price is set by you, I believe you will not cheat me, right?"

"Haha, brother Bao is refreshing. I like to do business with people like brother Bao. Then please ask brother Bao to give me the formula so that we can discuss the price."

"Okay, then Zhou Chen, please wait a moment." Lin Baoer got up and went into the room, took out a pen and ink, and wrote out the recipe of the cake.

Zhou Chen got up and stood aside watching Lin Baoer write, the corners of his mouth twitched indistinctly, Brother Baoer's handwriting, um, has a unique personality.

What Zhou Chen didn't know was that when Lin Baoer sold the formula to Zhou Yuan for the first time, his handwriting was even uglier, oh no, it had a personality.Of course, Zhou Chen would not ignore the important point that Lin Baoer's formula was written by him, not left by the predecessors.Zhou Chen nodded knowingly. No wonder Lin Baoer could write out the formula so generously in front of him, and she was not afraid that he would memorize the formula and learn it secretly, and would not cooperate with him.Of course, it was impossible for him, Zhou Chen, to do such an immoral thing.

Lin Baoer picked up the written formula, blew on the wet pen and ink, smiled and raised the formula in Zhou Chen's hand, "Here, Zhou Chen's formula has been written."

"Hehe, that's good, how about selling the recipe this time for 100 taels of silver?"

Lin Baoer raised her eyebrows in surprise. The recipes sold in previous cooperation were not that expensive, so why is the recipe for a birthday cake so expensive.However, Lin Baoer knew that Zhou Chen's consideration for making this price must be due to his own considerations, and he also believed that Zhou Chen would earn much more than the 100 taels.

Maybe it was Zhou Chen who saw Lin Baoer's doubts. He smiled and explained: "Brother Bao sold me the birthday cake recipe, which is definitely worth 100 taels. I'm not afraid to tell you, Brother Bao, I took this Fangzi, I am going to sell it in my pastry shop in Fucheng. Of course, the supply is limited. I think you must know the truth that rare things are more expensive. There are still people who are curious and come up with the same thing. Fresh pastries, I think there will be many people willing to buy them." Zhou Chen can be sure of this, just take his restaurant's new barbecue set menu as an example, it is not only sold in restaurants in the town, but also His family is in Fucheng, and the food sold in several big cities in Kyoto is not ordinary. Many people want to eat it, and sometimes there is no room for it.

Tsk, why did Lin Baoer feel that he only sold this recipe for 100 taels after hearing what Zhou Chen said, which is a loss.Well, it's not a bad loss, he still kept an eye on it, and he could make a small fortune from it.

Zhou Chen took the recipe written by Lin Baoer and read it carefully, and found a few fresh terms. "Brother Bao, what is this low powder? Is milk the same as cow's milk? And what is this lemon juice?"

Lin Baoer smiled and explained: "Low flour is low-gluten flour, also known as wheat flour, milk is cow's milk, and lemon juice is a kind of fruit juice."

"I see. But I can find the raw material for the cake flour, but the cow has never heard of it, and what fruit is the lemon juice squeezed from?"

"Wait, I'll show you a lemon." Lin Baoer said, ran into the kitchen, and took out a lemon from the host space with her thoughts.Lin Baoer walked into the yard with the lemon, and handed the lemon to Zhou Chen, "Here, this is the lemon, have you seen it before?"

Zhou Chen thought for a while and said, "I've seen this lemon before, but I forgot where I saw it." Zhou Chen thought that when he returned to the restaurant later, he would order his servants to look for this lemon.

Lin Baoer kindly gave a suggestion, "Okay, before you find it, how about I offer you this lemon? And milk, as a friend, let me tell you, you can use goat's milk instead. Let's talk about it after you find the cow Bar."

"That would be the best." Zhou Chen didn't ask where Lin Baoer got these unusual things, he even thought it was only natural that Lin Baoer knew about them.Zhou Chen has long known that Lin Baoer has many secrets, and it is undeniable that Zhou Chen wants to be friends with Lin Baoer for a purpose.But so what, he is very confident that he can become a true friend with Lin Baoer, and there is always a voice deep in his heart telling him that if he does not become friends with Lin Baoer, then he will definitely regret it in the future.

Lin Baoer discussed the price of lemon milk with Zhou Chen again.Zhou Chen readily took out 110 taels of silver bills to Lin Baoer, 100 taels was the money to buy the formula, and the other [-] taels was the deposit.

After Lin Baoer and Lin Baoer reached a cooperation, Lin Baoer looked at the sky, and when it was time to make lunch, she said to Zhou Chen, "Zhou Chen, just sit here, I'm going to make lunch."

"Okay, brother Bao, do you need my help?"

"Come on, don't say polite words, just sit here, I don't believe that a young master like you can cook, you better not harm my kitchen." Lin Baoer complained.

"Hehe, then I'll wait here to enjoy a ready-made lunch." Zhou Chen thinks that Lin Baoer like this is very cute. He doesn't flatter him, and speaks straightforwardly. He doesn't have the shyness of other little brothers at all. He likes Lin Baoer very much. this character.

Lin Han'er and his friends caught many small fish and shrimps from the stream, and wrapped them in a big leaf.After Lin Han'er and her friends said goodbye to each other, they each went home with the small fish and shrimps they caught.

Lin Han'er kicked open the gate of her own courtyard, and just wanted to tell her brother where he went to play this morning, but she didn't want him to see Zhou Chen instead of her brother. "Huh? Aren't you the young master Zhou who came to Han'er's birthday last night?"

Zhou Chen looked at Lin Han'er who looked like a little cat with a funny face, and said in a warm voice: "Brother Han, I'm here to talk to Brother Bao about business, your clothes are all wet, go and change quickly, otherwise it will be easy sick."

"Well, Han'er is going now, don't tell brother, or brother will say Han'er."

"But Brother Bao already knows." Zhou Chen shrugged at Lin Han'er, because Lin Baoer heard Lin Han'er's voice and came out of the kitchen.

Too bad, my brother is going to say that Han'er is disobedient again.Lin Han'er decided to launch a coquettish offensive against Lin Baoer, but she didn't want Lin Baoer to see through this trick.

"Don't be coquettish, Han'er, I told you not to go to the stream to play, you didn't listen. Now the weather is getting colder, you see, if you play with wet clothes, you will catch cold easily, don't allow it next time Go again, understand?"

Lin Han'er nodded obediently, "Brother, Han'er knows, and Han'er won't go next time."

Lin Baoer rubbed Lin Haner's little head, and said softly, "Okay, it's fine if you know, go and change your clothes, come out after changing clothes, and you can have lunch after a while."

"Okay, let's help Han'er raise the little fish and shrimp that Han'er caught."

"Okay, go and change clothes." Lin Baoer took the bag of small fish and shrimps that Lin Haner was holding, turned around and walked into the kitchen, took two small buckets and raised them separately.

After Lin Haner changed her clothes, she came out of the room and went into the kitchen to cook lunch with Lin Baoer.

Soon, Lin Baoer and Lin Haner prepared lunch, and they brought the food to the dining table for Zhou Chen to have lunch together.

Zhou Chen spent his lunch, savoring the taste of the food on the table in front of him.Although it is just an ordinary home-cooked side dish, it tastes very delicious.

After Zhou Chen had lunch at Lin Baoer's house, he chatted with Lin Baoer about the sales of the meals he sold with recipes. After his servant came to pick him up, he said goodbye to Lin Baoer and Lin Haner, and then got into the carriage and returned to Yunlai residence. The restaurant went.
