Soul: At the beginning, the father died, and the eldest and second brothers wanted to separate the f

Just as the waiter was on his way to the kitchen, Shopkeeper Chen came towards the front.

The waiter hurriedly said, "Boss, Miss Xie is here. She said she has made some new food and wants you to take a look."

When Shopkeeper Chen heard this, he walked faster.

This time, it really was Xie Jiaojiao, so...

Shopkeeper Chen stepped forward with a smile and said, "Miss Xie, I heard that you brought some new food today?"

Xie Jiaojiao bowed respectfully to Shopkeeper Chen, who waved his hands hastily, saying that if that happened, he would not be able to bear Xie Jiaojiao treating him like this.

Xie Jiaojiao bent down and untied the rope on the backpack: "Boss, I made soy sauce this time, I want you to help me take a look."

What? Soy sauce?

Shopkeeper Chen was a little excited: "Miss Xie can actually make soy sauce?"

Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "I figured it out myself, but the soy sauce I make may be different from the traditional one because it is not made with fresh meat."

"Can soy sauce be made without meat?" Shopkeeper Chen was obviously a little unconvinced.

"Please lend me a bowl and spoon from the shopkeeper."

Shopkeeper Chen made a gesture to the waiter, who immediately went to get it.

After taking it, Xie Jiaojiao poured some into a bowl and asked Manager Chen to taste it.

Shopkeeper Chen was not shy and started tasting the food right away.

After tasting it, his expression changed immediately. He was still a little uncertain. He took another sip and smacked his lips: "Oh, this is really soy sauce! But it doesn't taste as greasy as soy sauce? It even smells fragrant?"

"How about the shopkeeper ask the waiter to take it to the kitchen and try cooking two dishes?"

"Good good!"

The waiter took the bowl from Manager Chen and immediately ran to the kitchen.

After a while, a dish of stir-fried vegetables was served.

“This smells pretty good!”

"Shopkeeper, why don't you try it? Chef Li said that this thing of Miss Xie's is very good!"

Shopkeeper Chen took a bite and his eyes lit up: "This is the same as the meat fried in soy sauce, but the taste seems to be fresher."

"Chef Li said the same thing!"

Shopkeeper Chen laughed and said, "Miss Xie, how are you going to sell this?"

Xie Jiaojiao thought for a moment and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, the cost of making this is cheaper than making it with meat, but the salt is very expensive." Xie Jiaojiao glanced at the jar she had brought with her, which held about ten liters.

Then he said uncertainly: "I'd like to sell this jar of soy sauce to you for one ounce of silver, okay?"

A tael of silver?

Shopkeeper Chen felt that he had heard wrongly.

"This is such a big jar, are you really only selling it for one or two ounces of silver?"

Seeing that Shopkeeper Chen was so surprised, Xie Jiaojiao immediately felt that she had gotten a bargain.

When she turned around to bargain, Shopkeeper Chen had already taken out one or two taels of silver and handed it to Xie Jiaojiao.

Xie Jiaojiao was speechless and had to accept it. However, she thought to herself, it’s okay, the restaurant has a huge demand, and when I sell it myself, I will raise the price then.

"I wonder how many more there are at home in this soy sauce girl's house?"

Xie Jiaojiao waved her hands hurriedly: "Not much, I just tried it this time to see if it would work, so I didn't make much. If you want more, you may have to wait until next time. Next time I plan to make a lot more and sell it in town."

Shopkeeper Chen felt a little regretful, but when he heard that Xie Jiaojiao was going to make it on a large scale and sell it, he immediately became interested. He turned his eyes and asked again, "Then Miss Xie, are you willing to cooperate with our boss?"

"Your boss?"

Shopkeeper Chen nodded and stroked his beard: "Our boss not only runs this restaurant business, but also the grocery store and grain and oil store in this town."

Xie Jiaojiao thought for a moment and asked, "Does your boss only do business in our town? Or?"

Shopkeeper Chen waved his hands hastily: "Miss Xie, our boss's business is not limited to this town! Most of the shops within a radius of a hundred miles, if not a thousand miles, are owned by our boss."

Hearing this, Xie Jiaojiao's eyes lit up!

"If I cooperate with your boss, can my soy sauce be sold within a few hundred miles?"

Shopkeeper Chen nodded: "Of course!"

Of course I’m willing to cooperate!

Only idiots would choose not to cooperate.

Xie Jiaojiao was already very excited, but she said, "Then I'll think about it. Shopkeeper Chen should talk to your boss. I'll give you an answer when I send you fermented tofu in a few days."

Shopkeeper Chen smiled and nodded.

The waiter brought out the jar.

Shopkeeper Chen packed two more bags of snacks for Xie Jiaojiao.

"I feel embarrassed every time you give me something." Xie Jiaojiao said frankly.

Shopkeeper Chen shook his head: "Compared to what you sent me, these are nothing!"

Shopkeeper Chen sent Xie Jiaojiao to the door and said with a smile: "Miss, go back early. Something good will definitely happen today."

Xie Jiaojiao seemed a little confused, not knowing what Manager Chen's last sentence meant.

After seeing Xie Jiaojiao off, Shopkeeper Chen stood there for a long time. The waiter said, "Shopkeeper, Miss Xie has gone far away!"

Shopkeeper Chen smiled and said, "To be honest, our young master has been either making jokes or visiting brothels and gambling houses over the years. I never thought that he has a good eye for girls. I originally thought that the Xie family's financial situation would not be a match for our boss, but this girl made this soy sauce today, and who knows what unexpected things she can make tomorrow! Our young master has found a treasure!"

The shop assistant was totally confused and wanted to ask again, but the shopkeeper had already gone to the kitchen.

And now at her home.

There were several loads tied with red silk in the yard, which were obviously for employment.

There were a lot of people gathered outside the Xie family's yard.

Sun Ruhua was wearing a coarse linen dress and standing opposite the matchmaker. The matchmaker had a flattering smile on her face, but Sun Ruhua seemed a little reserved.

"Mrs. Sun, why are you still hesitating about such a good marriage? The Jiang family is a wealthy family in our county! They always ride in sedan chairs when they go out."

Sun Ruhua was somewhat at a loss: "How could such a good family like my Jiaojiao! Are you mistaken?"

The matchmaker shook her head and said, "Madam Sun, I am not being rude to you. The young master of the Jiang family is already in his twenties, but his family has been trying to find him a wife, but none of them have come through. Now, a shopkeeper from his family said that the young master has taken a fancy to your daughter, but last year it was almost the New Year and the master of the Jiang family was busy during the New Year and had no time, so the proposal has been delayed until now. Otherwise, he would have come to propose marriage a long time ago."

Anything else?

When did you first fall in love with it?

When the people outside the courtyard heard the matchmaker introduce the Jiang family, they all discussed: "How could such a good family be interested in a girl from a poor and remote place like us?"

"That's right, there must be some hidden secret. Is there any flaw in this Young Master Jiang?"

Sun Ruhua listened with her heart pounding. Jiaojiao was with her and Zhiyi every day, so if this happened, how could she have no memory of it?

Moreover, when Sun Ruhua heard that the master of the Jiang family was a busy man, she was unwilling to do so. The rules of the wealthy family were many, and Jiaojiao would definitely not be able to follow them. Thinking of this, Sun Ruhua waved her hand and refused: "Matchmaker Zhang, I think it's better to forget it. Our family is not worthy of the Jiang family. When Jiaojiao marries there, she won't be able to follow the rules... You should take these things away!"

When matchmaker Zhang heard the people talking outside the courtyard, she immediately started to curse, "You gossipy women who say the grapes are sour! How dare you talk about the Jiang family? The eldest young master of the Jiang family is full of energy, with regular features and outstanding looks, but he has higher standards for choosing a wife and doesn't like your family. You are slandering him like this. If you ruin the young master Jiang's good marriage, I will go back and tell Mr. Jiang, and you will have to bear the consequences!"

After she said this, the people outside the yard immediately stopped talking about anything.

Matchmaker Zhang saw that everyone had shut up, so she turned around and looked at Sun Ruhua with a smile: "Madam Sun, don't hesitate about such a good marriage! If you miss this opportunity, it will be gone forever! I've also asked around, your daughter got crazy a few years ago, that's good, she's already 20 years old, it would be hard to find a partner in a village like yours."

After hearing what she said, Sun Ruhua began to hesitate, because it was really hard to say about Xie Jiaojiao's marriage. She asked many people, but no one responded. However, she didn't dare to make the decision. What if Jiaojiao didn't want to, and then she would blame her?

"How about you wait until my daughter comes back before discussing this?"
