029 Big Sister Whereabouts
"How is it? Is it delicious?"
Chu Congrong stared at Duo Jin with big eyes, trying to see a hint of like or dislike on his face, but this guy managed his expression very well and remained completely calm.
Duo Jin changed his usual hip-hop demeanor, chewed the fish body, fish belly... and tasted it slowly, as if he was savoring the feeling and change of each bite. The image was like some movies from another time and space.
Big foodies in the works.
He didn't say anything for a long time, but he just put the chopsticks on the table and asked the shopkeeper to come and taste it. The shopkeeper was confused and thought that this was just what you ordered, the guest, and the little girl made it by herself. It's not delicious.
It’s not our fault!
The shopkeeper took a bite and his expression changed. He took a few more bites and then said leisurely: "Smooth on the outside, crispy on the inside and tender on the inside! It's delicious! It's so delicious!"
Haha, finally there is someone who knows the goods! Chu Congrong was confused by the expression of the rich man at first. It was not until the shopkeeper explained the three major characteristics of sweet and sour carp that she really felt at ease.
"I wonder if the girl is willing to sell this recipe to our restaurant?" the shopkeeper asked respectfully.
Deyilou's business is not booming, so it needs to add new dishes. This fish dish is not only smooth on the outside, crispy on the inside, and tender on the inside, but the key is sour and sweet. It can be served with food or wine, and the fish has a head and a tail.
Awesome! Color, aroma, taste, shape, everything is perfect!
"Uncle shopkeeper, I just made this fish for my friends to taste, and I didn't plan to sell it for money." Chu Congrong refused with a reserved smile. In fact, her heart was bleeding violently, and she had missed out on a lot of money!
The shopkeeper was very sorry when he heard this, shook his head and sighed: "If the girl is willing to sell one day, please give priority to my Deyi Building."
It wasn't until Chu Congrong agreed that the shopkeeper reluctantly left.
"Aren't you very short of silver? Why didn't you sell it to him?" Many Jin was puzzled.
"His restaurant can't afford this dish at the moment."
"What do you mean by this?"
"Let's put it this way, if this dish is sold by him, regardless of the price tag of 200 to 300 cash, a wave of customers will come over to try it, and then it will become an ordinary dish. The brilliance for a brief moment will be reduced to mediocrity. This
That’s its ultimate fate.”
Chu Congrong said with deep feeling.
In fact, she was quite conflicted in her heart and did not fully agree with what she said. It is not bad for a person or a dish to have a moment of glory. How many people have lived an ordinary life, but they never bloomed in their last life.
!
Duo Jin was stunned. A piece of fish can be sold for 300 Wen, which is already a sky-high price. If it were in the capital, people would still eat it if it cost one tael, but this is Baoshan City, a small county town. Also, a dish is a dish.
, no matter how delicious it is, it is still a dish in the end, what’s the problem with that?
What is the connection between vegetables and light?
"You are such a curious baby. I couldn't explain it to you at the moment. It's a pity that this restaurant doesn't belong to you. Otherwise, I would show you a few tricks and make sure you make a lot of money!"
After chatting for a while, Chu Congrong ended the conversation hastily because it was almost time to go home and it took a lot of time to make that fish dish.
Duo Jin seemed a little unhappy, and he angrily took out a small bag and a small ingot of silver, and said: "How much sago can these buy? Remember to bring it to me in three days. I haven't rewarded you with today's money, so I have to go
Rewarded with money!"
When Chu Congrong heard that he wanted to buy sago, he took the things away without politeness. Before leaving, he asked the shopkeeper for a roast duck. This was what the two brothers wanted to eat. Of course, the money would be charged to the rich man.
“Sister, it turns out it’s so easy to make money!”
On the way back, Rokuro couldn't help but ask his sister softly with emotion.
Chu Congrong flicked his forehead and said: "Is it easy? Not only does it involve a lot of calculations, but it also requires sufficient prediction, a complete plan, and strong execution. It's not enough to have these, you have to make good use of them.
Various favorable factors. For example, today, if there is no rich man here, will the teahouse owner trust me? Will the cloth shop owner trust me? In this way, we may not make a penny."
"Sister, can you teach us?" Qilang came over and asked.
"It's okay to teach you arithmetic, but you don't need to learn other things. When autumn comes, you can go to school and study hard with your teacher."
Chu Congrong was a little worried that the two little guys were thinking wrongly. She felt that this small amount of money seemed easy, but in fact it was borrowing some marketing plans from another time and space. This required a lot of comprehensive knowledge to support it. It was not that she did not want to teach
, I won’t be able to teach you for a while.
But this was because she was overthinking it. The two little guys not only worshiped her, but also admired her.
It was already evening when they returned to the village. Seeing that it was inconvenient for them to hold the cloth, Dazhi took the initiative to send them home directly. Chu Congrong saw that he was so attentive and made an appointment for three days later.
Mrs. Ye saw that the three of them had not returned home for a long time and had not eaten any dinner. They waited anxiously at the door until she saw the car. She saw that her daughter and son were intact, and they were full of roast duck, cakes and cloth. They kept coming from the car.
Moving up and down, I couldn't believe what I saw.
Is there money everywhere on the street, waiting for them to pick it up?
It wasn't until dinner that Mrs. Ye had still recovered from her nerves. When she bit into the fragrant roast duck meat, she believed it was true. Chu Youde and Sanlang were still reminiscing about the deliciousness of yesterday's dinner all day long.
The delicious food was shocking. The meat the two of them ate in the past two days was as much as they usually eat in a year!
"Uncle Fourth, is the duck meat delicious?" Chu Congrong watched Chu Youde eating with relish and deliberately teased him.
Chu Youde sighed a few times and laughed honestly.
"From now on, we will strive to have meat to eat every day, and the recipes will not be repetitive."
Chu Congrong smiled and Liu Lang and Qi Lang immediately cheered. They believed that if their sister said it, she would be able to do it. Mrs. Ye couldn't even think about having different meat to eat every day. I'm afraid even Rich Man Li's family couldn't do it.
"I need some help from my fourth uncle tomorrow." Chu Congrong said. The sago promised to the tea guests should be enough, but it is probably not enough to give to the rich, and they have to continue grinding and drying the rice.
When Chu Youde heard this, he immediately agreed. He was so busy with no work that he was not used to it. Sanlang hurriedly asked what he needed from him, for fear that the girl would forget him. Chu Congrong asked him to invite the old doctor over later.
, let dad check on his physical condition.
"Your father has just drank ginseng soup twice, and he feels better. He even talked to mother a few words in the afternoon." Mrs. Ye quickly told her daughter about the man's situation.
"Mom, that wasn't real ginseng before, it was just ginseng. This is real ginseng, cut into slices. From now on, use this to boil. Don't put too much. It's good ginseng." Chu Congrong opened a lot of money.
The small bag contains some cut ginseng slices. Judging from the width, it is quite old. The rich man only gave me one tael of silver, but this bag of ginseng slices is much more valuable.
There is nothing in return except making a few more kilograms of sago.
Although cassava is replaced with ginseng, the cassava flour is processed into sago, which embodies my infinite wisdom. The local tycoon has obviously taken advantage of me, hehe.
Sanlang quickly invited the old doctor over. The old doctor was very surprised to see that Chu Congrong was full of energy and did not look like a person who had just recovered from a serious illness. Chu Congrong quickly said that it was all due to his good prescriptions, prescribing the right medicine, and taking all the medicines.
The money I owed for medicine was paid in full, 675 cents.
"Wu Ya, when Xiao Liu went to call me, I didn't want to come. Firstly, I was afraid that the cure would not be possible, and secondly, I was afraid that the medicinal materials would be in vain. Later, everyone said that I was stupid, but who knew that not only did you pick up
Even if he saves his life, he is still the first person to repay the medicine money readily!"
The old man took the money and sighed.
Then he checked Chu Youxian's pulse and said that the recovery was good, beyond his expectation. Chu Zhongrong took the opportunity to show him the ginseng slices, and the old doctor said it was a good thing after seeing it.
It also requires sixty or seventy-year-old ginseng. With this, Chu Youxian will undoubtedly get better faster.
Before leaving, Chu Congrong gave him another piece of cloth, which of course was cut from the piece of cloth that was specially left. She also told Ye to cut four more pieces, one for the village chief and the 19th Gong's family, and for Niu Er.
Aunt and Uncle Liu’s natal family.
After arranging all the affairs, Chu Congrong had to deal with the rotten things all night long. If she put it on a hot day, it would go bad. Seeing that her daughter's little body was so busy, Mrs. Ye felt bad. The burden of life should be borne by adults. Now
Instead, her weak body carried it.
"Your grandma and my wife came to make trouble again today. I ignored them and didn't open the door. They cursed for a while and then left." Mrs. Ye seemed to be reporting work to her daughter.
Chu Congrong felt a little relieved after hearing this. At least her mother was not letting the other party take advantage of her. But just avoiding it was not enough. She had to fight back bravely to pass the test. There was a long way to go!
"Daughter, I want to go back to your grandma's house in the next two days. It stands to reason that your uncles know that we are separated, so they have to come anyway. No one has come yet, so I feel uneasy."
Chu Congrong thought for a while and decided to decide on the day after tomorrow so that she could prepare some gifts for her tomorrow.
Mrs. Ye hurriedly said that she didn't need to prepare anything, as long as she could pull off two pieces of cloth. The implication was to ask her daughter for her opinion. The cloth was brought back by her daughter, so she had to make the decision.
Seeing her cautious expression, Chu Congrong found it funny. It seemed that the old witch had suppressed her mother too much before, and now she was even so cautious about her biological daughter.
"Mom, you can use as much as you want. I'll ask Third Brother to prepare some other gifts tomorrow. By the way, Mom, have you thought about my eldest sister recently?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Ye suddenly burst into tears!
"It's been seven years...your eldest sister hasn't come back even once! Mom wants to see her...but she has no money, doesn't know the way, and you won't give her your milk! Mom is feeling miserable...my eldest daughter is even more so.
It’s so painful that I left my mother when I was only seven years old... How many times did my mother wake up at night and dream that she was beaten into disgrace by her husband’s family? My eldest daughter is so pitiful..."
The pain in Ye's heart was vented like a flood from a broken embankment, and she burst into tears instantly.
Chu Congrong hugged her, patted her shoulder gently and comforted her softly: "Mom, don't be sad. I am planning to take Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi to see my eldest sister secretly tomorrow. I will tell you the specific situation when I get back. If she
If things go well, then everything will be fine. If things go badly, let’s find a way to bring the eldest sister back so that the whole family can be reunited!”
"Really?" Mrs. Ye looked at her little daughter with eyes, and asked happily: "As long as Da Ya can come back, I am willing to live for ten years!"
"Mom, you don't believe me again?" Chu Congrong said coquettishly.
She now has another ten taels of silver on her. As the saying goes, money makes things easier. People who buy and sell sons and daughters do so just because they are poor. Money is often the best way to deal with poverty.
