Chapter 117 Leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade

   "Three... three hundred taels?" Ji Zhao was shocked!

  The rest of the Shen family were also stunned!

"That's right, it's three hundred taels!" Shopkeeper You Er nodded his head firmly, "At Mrs. Ma's birthday banquet, the value of this dish of roasted whole lamb is definitely more than three hundred taels! Besides, it's Hongxing Restaurant alone. This signboard is more than three hundred taels."

"Brother You, I don't understand." Ji Zhao shook his head silently, "Actually, it's not difficult to roast a whole lamb, and the ingredients, the grill and charcoal you need are all delivered by you, so this I won't accept three hundred taels of silver."

  Ji Zhao is a very principled person, besides, he will not be rewarded for no merit.

   "The two little lambs you sent over are already worth a lot. If I still accept this reward, then I'm too...too impersonal?"

"Hahaha!" Shopkeeper You Er had expected that Ji Zhao would refuse, "A Tao, the three hundred taels is not just a reward for a roasted whole lamb, it is also a transaction. What the shopkeeper means is that you have to teach the restaurant The chefs here cook several Northwest dishes, preferably with mutton as the main raw material.”

"Brother You, I am willing to teach the chef in the restaurant how to cook Northwest cuisine, but I don't want the three hundred taels of reward." Ji Zhao turned his mind, and soon had an idea, "I heard that there is a restaurant on the left side of Hongxing Restaurant. A small shop with a small area is also the property of a restaurant?"

   "Are you referring to the braised vegetables window in the restaurant?"

   "Yes!" Ji Zhao nodded hastily, "I want to contract the small shop of the restaurant. I wonder if shopkeeper You Er can agree?"

   "A Tao, that shop is not big, what do you want to do?"

"I want to sell fried food." Ji Zhao explained calmly with a smile, "Fried food is a kind of street food, the required shop does not need to be too large, and fried food does not conflict with the main business of restaurants , and more importantly, I will have more time to stay in the restaurant, and I can exchange cooking experience with the chefs in the restaurant."

  Ji Zhao originally wanted to rent a small shop in the county seat, sell stinky tofu first, and then find ways to expand the business.

  But just now she thought about it carefully, if she wants to gain a foothold in the county, then relying on the living signboard of Hongxing Restaurant seems to be able to get twice the result with half the effort!

   "A Tao, if you have three hundred taels, you can definitely buy a suitable shop in the county town?" Shopkeeper You Er was quite puzzled by her thoughts.

   "If I really do that, I'm afraid I will lose my friend, Brother You, right?" Ji Zhao Yingying smiled, and didn't answer the question instead.

Hahaha-

   This time, the smile on Shopkeeper You Er's face was even brighter!

   "Besides, leaning against a big tree is good for shade, isn't it?"

   "A Tao, you are smarter than I imagined!" You Er praised from the bottom of his heart, "I will discuss with the shopkeeper about the shop."

   "Then I'll replace wine with tea, thank you, Brother You first." Ji Zhao raised his glass and smiled slightly.

  In addition to the delicious roasted whole lamb, Ji Zhao also stewed mutton soup.

   At the end of the meal, shopkeeper You Er couldn't eat anymore.

   "Every time I taste the delicacies made by A Tao, I wish I could grow two more stomachs."

   "Overeating is not advisable." Ji Zhao persuaded with a smile, "Shen Yao, why don't you go for a walk in the yard with shopkeeper You Er, to digest a little?"

  Ji Zhao was worried that if Shopkeeper You Er went back in the carriage at this time, he might vomit it out.
