Chapter 161 Big Town

  In the past two years, I have found many chefs to develop new dishes, but I still can’t compete with that one. The dishes are not afraid of being expensive, but they are afraid of not being attractive.

   Now such an opportunity has come. Needless to say, this fish is delicious. If it has such an effect of strengthening the body and nourishing the body and mind, rich and noble people will pay hundreds of taels of tonic for a serving. How can they refuse such a delicious and nourishing fish.

The more the shopkeeper thought about it, the more excited he became. If the restaurant made some achievements in his hands, wouldn't the owner look at him highly? Thinking of this, he raised his chin and slapped the table directly and said, "Brother Zhuangzhi, it's also my fault that I didn't know you It costs so much to raise fish, so let’s calculate by the catty, how about I give you fifteen taels per catty?”

  Wang Zhuangzhi was frightened, one catty fifteen taels, wouldn't a fish cost more than thirty taels?

  He looked at the shopkeeper hesitantly, thinking of what Jiaojiao said just now that fish can strengthen the body, he was somewhat modest.

But looking at Wang Zhuangzhi's hesitation, the shopkeeper thought that he was not satisfied with the price, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Then eighteen taels, it can't be too high. A fish costs two catties and it costs thirty-six taels. There are labor and other expenses in selling dishes, you can't tell me not to make money, right?"

   "No, no, that's not what I meant." Wang Zhuangzhi waved his hands quickly and said.

  The cost of a fish is thirty-two taels. Even if it is sold for forty taels, no one may be able to afford it. Wang Zhuangzhi feels that the shopkeeper can give so much, which is really too real.

  But he didn't know if the fish had those effects, and even so much money couldn't deceive people, so he didn't dare to respond casually.

  Jiaojiao next to her counted her fingers and thought the price was fair, so she grabbed her father's arm and said in a sticky voice, "Father, uncle added money, so let's sell it to them."

  Wang Zhuangzhi choked, touched his daughter's head, after thinking about it, he picked up Jiaojiao and walked to the window to pretend to think about it. He was about to secretly ask his daughter if the fish had eaten those ganoderma lucidum and ginseng.

  Jiaojiao seemed to know what her father wanted to ask, so she leaned into her father's ear and said two words—immortal.

  It's too late to explain now, parents believe this, so they can only use this to convince dad.

  Wang Zhuangzhi suddenly realized after hearing this, raised his hand and patted his forehead. He remembered this incident just before entering the door, and was shocked by the shopkeeper saying so much money, how could he forget about the gods.

  Jiaojiao dreamed of a fairy, and she said at the time that she could sell for a big price, and that fish must have something magical, so she complied with the words of selling a big price today.

  The entanglement in Wang Zhuangzhi's heart was swept away immediately, he turned to look at the shopkeeper with his daughter in his arms, and said, "Shopkeeper, I agree to this transaction."

  The shopkeeper also heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhuangzhi, it is better to hit the sun than to choose a date. Let's sign and make a deposit today, and I will give you the five thousand taels of silver note, so you can take the time to send fish."

  The shopkeeper originally wanted to ask him to sign the next time he delivered the fish, but he was worried that he would be robbed halfway, and he would not be able to explain to the owner at that time.

  The father and daughter look honest and reliable, they should not be liars, and they should book early to prevent sudden changes.

  Wang Zhuangzhi didn’t expect the shopkeeper to trust him so much. Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he nodded and said, “Okay, let’s sign and make a deposit today, and I’ll give you five thousand taels if I bring the fish.”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately put his heart in his stomach, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhuang Zhi said so, I want to give it even more. We will have a long time to do business in the future, so we still need this trust. "

  …

   It took only a cup of tea, but Wang Zhuangzhi had another five thousand taels of silver in his arms.

  Holding Jiaojiao to go out, his legs are a little weak.

  When I came this trip, I never thought that it would be so smooth, and I never thought that such a big event could be accomplished.

   "Father, our carriage is on the opposite side." Jiaojiao hurriedly shouted.

  Wang Zhuangzhi came back to his senses and realized that he had turned to the right along the crowd.

   "Oh, dad is so happy." Wang Zhuangzhi looked happy, and hurried back again, walking towards the opposite carriage.

   Seeing that it was getting late, Wang Zhuangzhi didn't dare to delay any longer, so he hurried to Dazhen with his carriage.

  As soon as the Wang family's carriage left, two tall and straight men came down from the restaurant.

  Meng Jun looked at King Jing who was following behind him, and said helplessly, "Master Thirteen, either you go first or I go first. It's inappropriate for you to follow so close."

  Qin Jinghao coquettishly held up a fan, covering half of his face, and said with a light snort, "You, Meng Junxian, are in the way, so I will take a step ahead."

  Meng Jun: "..."

  Eunuch Su winked at the waiting groom again, Qin Jinghao still covered his face with his fan, put on his robe and got into the carriage, and the group left in a mighty manner.

  Watching the people leave, Meng Jun grasped the saber in his hand, and then walked towards Sun's house.

  …

  Ancheng is less than an hour away from Dazhen.

  When Wang Zhuangzhi arrived, Song Dong was looking around anxiously at the door of the pharmacy.

  Seeing Wang Zhuangzhi's carriage, Song Dong's eyes lit up, and hurriedly said to the door: "Cousin, Uncle Wang is here."

   Immediately, a well-proportioned middle-aged man in plain clothes walked out of the pharmacy. When he saw Wang Zhuangzhi got off the carriage, his face was filled with joy.

  He hurriedly greeted him with a smile, cupped his fists and said, "Brother Wang, you are here."

   After finishing speaking, looking at Jiaojiao, her eyes lit up again, and she praised: "Oh, you are so handsome, little girl."

   Jiaojiao nestled in her father's arms and replied obediently: "Thank you, Uncle~"

   "Oh, no thanks, no thanks, this little girl is really good."

  Wang Zhuangzhi hugged Jiaojiao, glanced at Song Dong's cousin apologetically, and explained: "I went to Ancheng today, and I was delayed for a while. Boss Song has been waiting for a long time."

   Boss Song waved his hand and said with a smile: "No matter when you come, it's good to come back. I'm still worried. I have all the paperwork ready. Hurry up, let's say..."

  Boss Song welcomed the father and daughter in.

  Song Dong had already poured tea, and brought out a plate of washed fruits. After the father and daughter were seated, looking at Jiaojiao, he went to the next shop to buy some snacks and came back.

   "Hey, look at my nephew, your family is as busy as a spinning top. If you don't know, you may think you are a family." Boss Song joked with a smile.

   This kid stayed with him for a while, and he was not so attentive to him.

  Song Dong has long been used to his cousin's words, so he ignored him, went to the backyard to get a bowl, poured some snacks and served them to Jiaojiao.

  Jiaojiao looked at him, then revealed a sweet smile, and said in a waxy voice, "Thank you, Brother Song Dong~"

  Song Dong didn't expect that she still remembered him. When he recalled the water bag and corn cakes that his little sister gave him when he left in the middle of the night, he felt a burst of gratitude in his heart, and said softly, "You're welcome, there are still more to eat."

  Jiaojiao nodded, and happily ate the hawthorn sticks in the bowl. Seeing Song Dong standing aside, she casually handed over a hawthorn stick, and said in a waxy voice, "You eat too."

  Song Dong pursed his lips and took the hawthorn sticks. He didn't know what to think, and his eyes felt a little hot.
