Chapter 25: Sell

At the gate of the town, Zhao Ershu's carriage could not be driven in, and could only be left outside. Zhao Ershu was uneasy and stayed outside the city to guard it.

Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan took off their coats to reveal the torn clothes inside, messed up their hair a little, and lowered their heads and went inside. Simply their look is very common in the town, because beggars also have this look, and other people will dislike them when they see it.

Jinhua restaurant is easy to find, because it is a large restaurant and it's high, so you can tell at a glance. Just go in that direction. Fortunately, Changshun Restaurant and Jinhua are separated by a street, so they won't meet each other.

It was noon when people came and went in the Jinhua restaurant, which was really lively. Zhong Ziqi stood at the door and watched for a while before pulling Zhao Zhengan in.

"Guest, come here for the first time, what do you want?" Xiaoer Dian greeted the two with a decent smile on his face, not because Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan were in ragged clothes and looked down upon them. At this point, I was very satisfied: "Where is your shopkeeper? I have something to discuss with him."

Xiao Er looked at him and shouted inside: "The shopkeeper, someone is looking for it."

"Come on!" After a while, the figure of the treasurer Jin slowly appeared in front of everyone: "Who is looking for me?"

The shopkeeper pointed to Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan, and then turned to greet the others.

Jin Sheng narrowed his eyes: "You are?"

"The treasurer of gold is really forgotten by the nobles. We met not long ago." Zhong Ziqi said unhurriedly.

When the treasurer Jin heard the voice, he felt familiar. After a closer look, he finally remembered who it was: "It's you, look at my memory, come in quickly, by the way, I don't know what the two are called." In fact, I don't blame the treasurer. I didn't think of them. Many days have passed since the last time I met. The shopkeeper Jin thought that the other party was unwilling to sell, so he forgot about it. It's strange that he can recognize it as soon as he is dressed like this.

"My name is Zhong Ziqi, and he is my husband Zhao Zhengan."

Jin Sheng took the two to a single room on the second floor, and ordered Xiao Er to serve some tea before sitting down. Some dumbfoundingly looked at the dress of the two of them: "How do you dress like this?" He doesn't think Zhong Ziqi has no money to buy clothes, is it possible that business is so hot?

Zhong Ziqi smiled bitterly: "A word is hard to say." With a sigh, Zhong Ziqi narrated the affairs of Changshun Restaurant. Shopkeeper Jin is not surprised. This kind of thing happens often, and he is used to it. What interests him is that this brother is very special and feels very different.

"Then you found here today, did you agree to my proposal?" The shopkeeper Jin asked.

Zhong Ziqi smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid I can't do anything if I don't agree, but if the shopkeeper can agree to one of my requirements, then I can sell you two other dishes to ensure that you don't have it." This is his only bargaining chip, and it is also practical. Bargaining chips.

"What conditions?"

"Let Changshun Restaurant no longer trouble us."

Shopkeeper Jin smiled: "Behind the Changshun restaurant is the magistrate of Fengyang City, how could I..."

Zhong Ziqi interrupted him: "The shopkeeper Jin is joking. Who doesn’t know that Jinhua is behind a more mysterious force. If the shopkeeper doesn’t agree, then forget it. I won’t do business anymore. What about selling the recipe to other restaurants? You can make a lot of money, right?" Zhong Ziqi poured a cup of tea for Zhao Zhengan and watched him frown and drank it with disgust. Zhong Ziqi played with the teacup and smelled it and knew it was inferior tea.

Jin Sheng didn’t speak, and put his hands on the table and tapped. Just like Zhong Ziqi said, the county grandfather of Fengyang City didn’t pay attention to them at all. If they moved their mouths, they wouldn’t dare to intervene. In the words of their young masters, words that are worthless are not worth their shots at all. It's too high-profile! Then the value of this white and tender little brother...Well, he admits that he can't understand him, but his request is also quite tempting to him, so let's do it.

"Okay, I promise you, and I hope you can do what you said." Zhong Ziqi secretly relieved and smiled: "Treasurer Jin, don't worry, you won't be disappointed."

The shopkeeper Jin got up and asked Xiao Er to bring pens and papers. Zhong Ziqi didn't pretend to pick up the pen and start writing the formula. This surprised the treasurer Jin. He thought he could not write, but he did not expect that he could read and hyphenate.

The characters in this world are not too difficult, but they are a bit more cumbersome. Many characters are similar to modern characters. Moreover, he has the memory of the original body, so he hasn't figured it out yet, so he has already written it quickly.

"This is my recipe for two kinds of noodles. It comes with a sour bamboo shoot. How about not losing it." Zhong Ziqi looked like I was grandiose.

The shopkeeper Jin picked up the two recipes and caught his eye. The elegant and atmospheric fonts did not look like a country guy would write. A closer look at the content inside made the shopkeeper Jin admire even more, because it was so simple! I don't know how he came up with it.

The treasurer put down the formula and said sincerely: "It's amazing!"

Zhong Ziqi smiled modestly; "Where and where, I usually mess around."

The treasurer did not pretend to take out an ingot of silver from his arms: "This is ten taels of silver, and the remaining two prescriptions are calculated separately."

When Zhong Ziqi saw Yinzi for the first time, he was very curious. He believed that the treasurer would definitely not hold down the price. One tael of silver in this country is equivalent to 2,000 copper plates. This shows how much money is made by the dishes. He has only been close to this number after selling for so long.

"Can the treasurer give me some copper, so that it is convenient to spend." Zhong Ziqi said embarrassedly, not leaking money, holding the big silver ingot is too conspicuous, it is simply telling others that I have money.

"I didn't think about it well, Qin Zi?" The treasurer yelled again.

The shopkeeper came in: "The shopkeeper."

"Go and get fifty taels of broken silver, plus ten pennies to send here."

"Yes." Xiao Er opened the door and went out, and soon came in again, holding a tray covered with cloth in his hand, and placing it on the table.

The treasurer Jin waved to him to go down, opened the cloth, and put the exchanged money board inside. The treasurer Jin pushed towards Zhong Ziqi: "You put them away, what do you write about those two?"

Zhong Ziqi carefully placed it in her pocket, and thought for a while: "Tomorrow, I will be here in the morning." After finishing talking, Zhong Ziqi pulled Zhao Zhengan to his feet: "I'll go back first, and I hope the treasurer will take care of the next thing. Take it to heart."

The shopkeeper Jin smiled and said, "Don't worry. I'm Mr. Jin who speaks and counts."

Zhong Ziqi pulled Zhao Zhengan downstairs with satisfaction, and the whole restaurant was enveloped in a fragrant smell. He saw Zhao Zhengan staring at the delicious food, and touched his head: "Buy you delicious food."

Zhao Zhengan immediately looked at his wife with joy.

The restaurant is too expensive to sell. Besides, Zhong Ziqi will make those dishes. If Zhao Zhengan wants to eat it, he can just buy the ingredients and make it. He went into a pastry shop and bought a pack of pastries. It cost him ten cents, which was really expensive. Fortunately, it tastes good, so I don’t care about those.

When I went out, I went to the clothing store to buy two clothes for them. The clothing was expensive, half the price of the material. Zhong Ziqi had to buy it even if he gritted his teeth. Who told him he could not make clothes.

At the moment when he handed out the money, Zhong Ziqi couldn't help thinking, should he learn to make clothes?
