A Lucky Wife Born Again From a Farm Family Chapter 93

Chapter 93 Fang Zi

In the past few days, many rich people in the town came to eat their tofu and bean cakes. When they saw well-dressed guests, they were not surprised and quickly served them tofu and bean cakes.

The rich-looking guest ate very carefully, savoring each bite for a while. He also opened the packet of spices, dipped a little with his finger, put it in his mouth, and tasted it carefully.

After a while, he said to the shrewd-looking guest: "It tastes fresh and fragrant. If you don't drink it, this is the taste."

These two people were Shopkeeper Zeng and Chef Li from Fugui House in the town. The Gu family's tofu stall was doing a booming business. They knew about it on the Lantern Festival, but they only thought that it was a lowly thing from the countryside and was not worthy of being honored. He ignored it.

 But after the Lantern Festival, the business of this tofu stall was still very good. Many customers bought the pan-fried five-spice tofu and bean cakes from the tofu stall and went to their Fugui Building to eat.

They can smell the fragrance from a long distance away.

Shopkeeper Zeng asked the clerk from Fuguilou to buy some pan-fried five-spice tofu, bean cakes, and several packets of spices. He and Chef Li tasted them together, and also asked Chef Li to try making the spices.

 What's strange is that Chef Li has been preparing it for more than ten days, but he still can't match the taste of Gu's spices.

Aunt Tian was very worried when she saw the two of them eating carefully and muttering something. She thought they had ruined the taste of the tofu and bean cakes, and that the guests were not satisfied with the food and were going to cause trouble for them?

Just when they were worried, the middle-aged man with a shrewd face raised his head and glanced at them. Finally, he looked at the third grandfather and waved to him to come over.

Third Grandpa walked over and asked with a smile: "What do you want, guest?"

Shopkeeper Zeng was unambiguous and said directly: "Your tofu, bean cakes, and seasonings are pretty good. We are willing to pay thirty taels of silver for this recipe. What do you think?"

"Not at all." Gu Jinli said: "This is the secret method passed down from our ancestors. We will never sell it. If we sell it, our ancestors will blame us unworthy descendants."

 I want to buy three of her formulas for thirty taels of silver. Are you kidding me?

During the half month they set up the stall, they earned at least three taels of silver every day, and the most they earned was six taels. Nowadays, this tofu stall has long made more than thirty taels. These two people wanted to buy their recipe for thirty taels, and they would only sell it to them if they were stupid.

Shopkeeper Zeng's face darkened when he heard Gu Jinli's words. He sneered and asked Third Grandpa: "Is your family in charge of children? Are all the adults dead?"

Grandpa San said simply: "Xiaoyu can indeed be the owner of this tofu stall."

 The tofu cakes and seasonings are all made by Xiaoyu, so naturally she has the final say.

Shopkeeper Zeng choked, he didn't expect Third Grandpa to say that, and his face was livid with anger.

Chef Li was afraid that Shopkeeper Zeng would ruin the matter, so he quickly smiled and said: "Don't mind, old man, our shopkeeper has such a temper."

He added: "We really want to buy your prescription. If we feel that the price is not suitable, we can negotiate again."

This tofu is a fresh food that he has never seen before. If they can get the recipe, their Fugui Building will definitely make a lot of money.

But the third grandpa still said: "This is our family's livelihood, and we will not sell it."

Chef Li also frowned when he heard this, but he had a better temper than Shopkeeper Zeng and did not get angry. Instead, he pushed Shopkeeper Zeng and signaled him to increase the price.

Shopkeeper Zeng said: "Forty taels of silver, how about buying your three prescriptions for forty taels of silver? The price is already very high. You are fleeing from famine. There is no land or land in Dafeng Village. With these forty taels, With the money, you can buy land.”

He looked at the third grandfather and said in a neutral tone: "This business is not that easy to do. Farmers should farm the land honestly."

Third Grandpa and Gu Jinli frowned upon hearing this. This meant that shopkeeper Zeng had also checked them. Gu Jinli simply said: "We won't sell it even if you pay a hundred taels."

She pointed to the iron plate for frying tofu and said: "This is how to make it. You can know it at a glance. If you want to sell this dish, you can buy white tofu and spices from us and make it back. You can still make this dish and save trouble." .”

This is indeed a way, but what Fuguilou wants is to monopolize this fresh food, so who is willing to listen to Gu Jinli?

Shopkeeper Zeng saw that they couldn't reach an agreement, stood up with an ugly face, and said: "In that case, you can just keep this crappy recipe, but..." He sneered a few times: "Whether you can continue this business depends on it. It depends on whether God will reward you or not!"

After saying the harsh words, Shopkeeper Zeng left with Chef Li. Before leaving, he swept the unfinished tofu and bean cakes on the table to the floor, which scared Mrs. Chu and Aunt Tian. This was a sign that they would not let go. Get past them.

Luo's father was very angry, but he couldn't run up and beat him up.

Third Grandpa frowned. After Shopkeeper Zeng and Chef Li left, he immediately took Gu Jinli to Xuanhufang again and asked Shopkeeper Zeng about it.

After hearing this, Old Doctor Wu frowned and said, "Zeng Da went to find you?"

Third Grandpa nodded: "Well, he wanted to buy our recipe, but if we didn't sell it, he said harsh words, probably because he wanted to stop our stall from opening."

Old doctor Wu sighed: "This is troublesome. That Zeng Da is a domestic slave of the Cheng family of Zouxian County. He helps the County Cheng family manage the business of Fugui Building. He is very powerful in Qingfu Town."

Gu Jinli frowned and asked the county magistrate again: "What is the origin of this Zou County Prime Minister's family? How come his family's affairs are everywhere?"

The daughter of Mr. Lu of Dafeng Village married the county magistrate as a concubine. The owner of Fugui Building is also the county magistrate's family. Does the power of this county magistrate's family spread throughout Tianfu County?

Old doctor Wu said: "The Cheng family of Zou County is a big family in Tianfu County. They have lived in Tianfu County for generations. They are considered the local snakes in Tianfu County. The county magistrate has to give face to the Cheng family of Zou County."

After all, the county magistrate is changed every three years, but the county magistrate is an assistant official. If he is well managed, he can stay in this position for a lifetime, but he will become so arrogant that he becomes the tyrant of Tianfu County.

After hearing what Old Doctor Wu said, Third Grandpa was very frightened and asked quickly: "What should we do? The Cheng family of Zouxian County will not come to steal our prescriptions, right?"

If they really came to rob him, they wouldn't be able to protect him at all, and they might even end up costing the lives of several families.

Oh shit!

Gu Jinli cursed in his heart and greeted the eighteenth generation of the Zou County Cheng family. There was a murderous look in his eyes. The Zou County Cheng family had better not try to make her tofu recipe, otherwise, she would not mind cutting it. he.

 She had seen a lot of blood in her previous life, and Zou Xiancheng had no shortage of it.

And the old man of the Lu family was in a hurry, so she prepared some poison to bring his whole family to bliss as soon as possible!

Facing Third Grandpa's sad face, Old Doctor Wu had no good idea at the moment. He could only advise him: "Don't worry, everyone in this town knows about your relationship with our Xuanhufang, so Zeng Da doesn't dare to be too worried." It's blatant, so relax and go back first.”

Grandpa San knew that they had already troubled Old Doctor Wu a lot and was embarrassed to trouble him again. After hearing this, he could only take Gu Jinli back first.
