The Adventures of the Mad County King on the Domain [Infrastructure]

Without any words, the shopkeeper's expression said it all.Xie Qian guessed what the shopkeeper was thinking, but he didn't mind at all. He spread the fan and his hand flat, and said with a smile: "Hey, Xie is not willing to make such a troublesome trick, but he has no contacts and no money, so he has no choice but to do so."

"..." The shopkeeper choked in panic when he heard Xie Qian's words. In order not to let himself choke to death, he said, "The law and order in Jinyang City is pretty good. If someone fails to introduce you, you won't get any money. If you do, it's only a tenth of the money." Just one?"

Xie Qian: "Hey, it's not important. Xie asked, is there no way for the shopkeeper?"

The shopkeeper: "... Anyway, I have been in Jinyang City for more than 20 years. If I want to introduce, I can find a lot of them!" Who do you look down on? !

Xie Qian Erlang's legs immediately turned up again, and he said triumphantly: "That's right. Since there is a middleman who doesn't get a commission, why does Xie have to pay an extra sum? And your Laifu Teahouse can't escape, no matter when the next time will Come on, wouldn't it be convenient to find you directly?"

The shopkeeper: "......" And this bastard not only doesn't plan to pay the commission, but also uses Laifu Teahouse as a guarantee? !His fat, disc-like face was about to bite out the orbicularis muscle, and he said with anger, "Then, this crispy candy recipe——"

"Fang Zi will naturally give it to the shopkeeper." Xie Qian became cheerful again at this time, but before the shopkeeper had time to be happy, he changed the subject and said, "It's a settlement, 50 taels of cash, no bank notes. Additional two condition..."

"Wait!!" The shopkeeper's newly stretched brows and eyes frowned again, in disbelief, "You want me to be a free middleman, but you want 50 taels for the crispy candy formula?! Why don't you grab it??"

"Eh?" Xie Qian blinked his big dazed eyes and said, "The crispy candy formula is from my master. I need to pay for labor, and the master needs to give me subsidies when he comes out to help me. It's not easy to make a living. What's more, As long as this crispy candy is made, it will be returned to the teahouse in the next day. What's more-" He waved to the shopkeeper, motioning him to come closer.

The shopkeeper was about to scold, could it be that he drank northwest wind for his teahouse work, and didn't need to spend money, but seeing Xie Qianshen's mysterious appearance, he couldn't help but want to hear what he had to say, so he suppressed his anger and listened.

Xie Qian said: "Speaking of which - this recipe is originally from the imperial chef of Beijing -"

"Imperial chef?? What imperial chef??!" The shopkeeper's ears froze, and his eyes were so bright that they were about to emit green light.

Xie Qian waved his hand, and continued to speak: "—the formula in here has been improved."

The shopkeeper leaned towards Xie Qian's direction because of his excitement, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, he immediately slacked off and almost fell over.

The prescriptions of the imperial chef are rare, but the recipes modified by the imperial chef are different in one word, but they are very different.His seven orifices were full of smoke, his face was as heavy as the bottom of a pot, and he said: "If only salt is left, it can be regarded as the recipe modified by the imperial chef. Who can't change it? Even the vendors selling plain noodles outside the door dare to say that they were modified by the imperial chef. Mr. Xie , if you have no intention of trading, why bother to fool the old man again and again?!"

Xie Qian said seriously: "Shopkeeper, I, Xie, will never fool my friends. Not only can I not give you this crispy candy recipe for free, but I also have to give it to you at a high price and under strict conditions. There are two necessary reasons. Can I After listening to the reason, turn against Xie again?"

"Say it! This old man depends on what tricks you can come up with!" The shopkeeper knocked the tea bowl on the table, and the meaning was very clear: leave as soon as you finish talking nonsense, leave immediately, and don't give it away.

Xie Qian was so familiar with the situation of being rejected by others that he couldn't be more familiar with it. Shi Shiran waved his folding fan twice and said, "The first reason is that Laifu Teahouse has to buy this recipe."

The shopkeeper was taken aback for a moment, and almost exploded with anger, and scolded Xie Qian, who was just looking for trouble, a few hundred times in his heart.Things have turned into the current situation, if the prescription cannot be obtained, the reputation of the teahouse will definitely be affected.It just can't affect the flow of customers, but if the merchants who come from south to north, everyone makes a joke about the loss of the chef to the coachman, then what face does he, the shopkeeper, have to hang around in Jinyang City?It's so embarrassing to lose! ! !

Xie Qian closed the folding fan, and with a bang, pulled the shopkeeper back from the abyss of anger to the present world, and then lowered his voice extremely low, almost whispering: "Our old man is a master who came out of the royal kitchen. It's just Because the master was convicted, he was banished. He has a little relationship with..., so he followed me to avoid disaster and travel far away." He paused, and smiled sincerely at the shopkeeper who was full of doubts, "The recipe of the imperial chef , but there are a lot of tribute items, but if they come out with a serious prescription, they either have no materials and can’t do it, or they can do it, and they will be guilty of misusing the tribute. In the end, they still can’t do it.”

The shopkeeper listened with pricked ears, snorted unhappily, and said, "Is it the royal chef? I don't have proof. I just listen to you bragging. How can I judge whether it's true or not?" Although the tone was skeptical, Xie Qian It was very clear that since he asked this question, he had believed him [-] to [-] percent.

Xie Qian then continued: "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. What matters is whether the customer believes it or not, or whether the customer is willing to spend silver taels to buy this gimmick. You have tasted the taste of my crispy candy yourself. Compared with pine nut candy How? At least it’s not a loss, right? But the stunning appearance alone is enough to make people willing to pay for it, isn’t it? However, whether it’s pine nut candies or peanut brittle candies, the names are too straightforward and boring, and I really don’t blame you , and the daily limit cannot be bought at a high price. If you can change it to Songzi Crisp, Zhuangyuan Crisp, Dayue Crisp, Prince-in-law Crisp, etc., and then pack some gold-woven and silver-inlaid gift boxes to assemble, I am afraid that if you sell a box, you will be able to buy it. Earn back the mere prescription money?"

He talked eloquently, and the shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he heard it. Of course he understood the meaning of the first sentence. The royal chef's formula is a gold-lettered signboard that costs no money. With 50 taels as evidence, of course he must make full use of it.

But... "Songzi Tang", "Consort Cake"?He had never heard of such a practice.The same candy, but with a different name, immediately becomes several grades more high-end, without spending a penny, the value of the candy can be doubled, ten times, or even a hundred times!

And what is gift box assembly?If God of Wealth is willing to talk about it in detail, what 50 taels and what additional conditions are there, it would be too cheap, right?

Give it now! !

The shopkeeper didn't say anything, and immediately sent the waiter to pick up the silver, and here he pulled Xie Qian to call him brother and brother, as if he was not the same person he scolded in his heart just a moment ago.

Xie Qian put on airs and said: "Two requirements, first, Laifu Tea House can only have one master to learn from, and can't teach it to the second person within 20 years; second, no buyout, no matter what name or gimmick the shopkeeper uses in the future, thank you. A certain has the right to take it away and use it directly, but Xie guarantees that it will not be sold in Jinyang City and the territory of Dayue east of Jinyang City within three years."

Such a restrictive condition can be said to be strict, even the shopkeeper who is full of luxurious gift boxes couldn't help hesitating for a while, and finally agreed.After all, as long as the master of his own teahouse learns the recipe, three years is enough to improve it and add other varieties.

While talking, the clerk brought a silver hinge and a small scale, and weighed a sufficient amount of money for Xie Qian on the spot.The shopkeeper screened off the buddy, lowered his voice and said: "Mr. Xie, you said..."

Xie Qian: "What are you talking about, I can't hear you, please speak up."

Shopkeeper: "..." Fuck, your voice was lower than mine just now! !

Xie Qian said loudly: "Let's do business with the door open, everything is aboveboard, there is no need to avoid people!"

The shopkeeper: "...All right, all right, you have the final say. Then, is it convenient for me to give this prescription now?"

Xie Qian spread his hands: "Where is the door?"

The shopkeeper: "...does anyone do business like this?"

Only then did Xie Qian reluctantly say: "Okay, I ordered 50 taels, we are now partners, and the shopkeeper will definitely not deceive me—come, Xiaotao, memorize the formula!"

Xiaotao took half a step forward and said:

"Cooked peanuts: five taels

Brown sugar: four taels

Honey: two or three

Five taels each of meat oil skin, pastry, and cooked flour, cook well, add a little bit of detail, and you're done. "

The shopkeeper: "……………that's it?" Who are you kidding?What kind of detail is a little detail? !Who can guess that these materials are used for peanut crisps. The question is how to make this shape and how to make it so crispy! !

He was about to have a fit again, Xie Qian said: "I will keep Lao He, and I will definitely teach him before leaving. As for who to teach, you, the shopkeeper, appoint it yourself."

The shopkeeper was stunned, and immediately understood what Xie Qian meant, and smiled so that his brows and eyes narrowed, he cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Xie, I understand, thank you very much."

——Yes, Laifu Teahouse is the largest teahouse in Jinyang City, and the refreshment is only done by the master chef alone.

While flattering Xie Qian sincerely, the shopkeeper secretly made a small calculation. On the other hand, to recommend merchants, it is best to have a good relationship with Laifu Teahouse and Laifu Inn, and to be rich and powerful, and have a long-term vision. He has been with this God of Wealth for a long time, and has come up with more coups to make money.Under these limited conditions, the shopkeeper quickly had several ready-made candidates in mind.

The author has something to say:

Don't look at this article, it seems that the number of texts in the main text is a little less, but it is longer in the extra episode——(Don't dislike me!!)

Xiaotao Xiaoxiu: Sending cakes?Prince consort cake?Returning the gift box, you are too good at cheating money, right?

Xie Qian: What is this? I haven’t added limited editions, special editions, and luxury limited editions of [-] sets for the Ghost Festival.

Xiaoxiu: Ah this?Ah this?What is the Hungry Ghost Festival Deluxe Limited Edition?

Xie Qian: It will be sold for a limited time one week before the Hungry Ghost Festival. There are a total of [-] sets in total, and secret snacks are also included.

Xiaoxiu: Wow - I can't help but want to buy it.

Xiaotao: Wake up, don't let him get in on you.

Xie Qian: There are only two types of candy now, and the larger ones cannot be made. In the future, cooks will develop plum cakes, Qiaoxin crisps, etc., and if they make up three or four kinds, they can be sold in blind boxes, which will make a lot of money. It's full.

Xiaotao: Blind box?What is this?

Xie Qian: It is to cover the contents so that you do not know what is in the box.Four or five identical boxes were placed in front of them, and only after paying for them, taking them away, and opening them, did they know what kind of dim sum they contained.

Xiaoxiu: ... Isn't this the same as guessing dice in a casino?

Xie Qian: Oh, how can a bet on dim sum be called a bet?This is called unpacking good luck, unpacking a refreshment suitable for today.If you really want a certain kind, then pack six boxes with complete varieties.

Xiaotao: Hey—Jun Wang, you didn’t get the name right, how could you be called Qian, you should be called rape!The traitor of a profiteer! !

Xie Qian: Gu hasn't added hidden funds yet.

Xiaoxiu: How can you add more? !
