The farmhouse restaurant of the dandy young master

The sound of horseshoes and rolling wheels from far to near stopped at the gate. Through the open gate, one could clearly see an old man with a fat waist and a round belly coming down from the carriage, walking arrogantly with the support of a servant. come over.

Huaxi pulled out an unexpected smile, it can be regarded as coming, if you don't come again, it's dark and it's not suitable for bargaining.

The old man walked in uninvited, as if he had been in a no-man's land, and spotted Huaxi standing in the yard, who was obviously out of place with the village.

Ma Qing'er had just finished chopping firewood and walked over from the backyard. She was startled for a moment, and walked over without hesitation, holding the ax in her hand. Holding the handle of the ax, she threw it on the ground. Standing beside Huaxi, she glanced at the calm Hua Xi, feeling confident, looked at the old man with a shiny face.

"You are Huaxi?" The greasy old man's contemptuous eyes were full of disdain.

"If you want my formula, I changed your attitude. If you make me unhappy, you can go back as you came here." Huaxi didn't see any scene, so he didn't follow his way, and just said it directly. Pick it up.What's more, the beginning is a failure, and the rest can only be determined by others.

"Son, I'm so arrogant. Do you know who I am?" The old man had inquired about Huaxi before he came. He was just a brother of a merchant family. What's more, he is just a poor wretch who was kicked out of the house now.

"I don't know, but I know that your family is not the only one who wants the secret recipe of stinky tofu." Huaxi's bluffing expression was extremely well played, it didn't look like a bluff at all, and Ma Qing'er was stunned when he heard it.

When did this happen?Why doesn't he know that he circles around Huaxi every day?

The old man's expression became solemn, as if he wanted to see through the truth and falsehood in Huaxi's words, but his confident eyes seemed to have really met other people who wanted the secret recipe.

who is it?Who is one step ahead of him.Thinking of this, he immediately put away the contempt on his face.

"Not much nonsense, I will give you 100 taels, and give me the secret recipe of stinky tofu. You must not sell it to others, and you will not be able to participate in the sale in the future. I will guarantee your safety in the capital."

"That's it?" Huaxi raised his eyebrows, looking contemptuously at the old man who opened his mouth wide open.At the same time, he was also wondering, who would be the big tree behind him?According to the information in his mind, the laws of the Dachang Dynasty were strict. Since the founding of the country, there has not been a single corrupt official.

The emperors of all dynasties have always been decisive in rectifying this aspect, but those who come and go small just turn a blind eye.

"Why, it's too few? The people behind me are not the ones who can offend you. Even if others want to compete with me, they have to weigh whether they have that weight!" The old man said, deliberately lowering his voice. The voice, however, revealed a vicious vigor, and the effect of intimidating people has just been achieved.

Huaxi raised the corners of his lips unmoved, not only was he not intimidated, but the old man's sweat was startled when he said, "Buying and selling by force, oppressing the people with authority, and forcing the people to have no way out is your master's. mean?"

The old man seemed to want to justify something, and said in a hurry; "It's unreasonable. I paid a high price for your secret recipe, so I bought and sold it by force. One hundred silver is enough for an ordinary person to chew for several years, yes You are greedy and don't know what is good or bad."

Huaxi didn't seem to see the old man's dog jumping over the wall, and stretched out a finger, "First, I can sell the secret recipe to you, and I won't sell it to others. Second, the selling price is 200 taels. I do this for a living, so I will continue to sell. If you can be the master, we can sign the contract now. If you don’t have the right to be the master, then you can go back to your master to discuss it, but I don’t guarantee that after you leave, I will Will it be sold to someone who comes in behind?"

Huaxi calmly finished speaking a bunch of words, the old man's face basically turned livid, he never thought that he would not be able to do such a simple thing.

Throughout the ages, the people do not fight with the rich, and the rich do not fight with the officials.

This Huaxi is brave enough to jump a level and fight with officials.

Therefore, a young master from a rich family who has been relegated to common people is not easy to fool.

The first time the old man kicked the iron plate, he was almost gnashing his teeth in anger.Those intimidating words were of course self-made nonsense, and he withheld half of the money. Unexpectedly, this brat revealed his trump card with just a few words...!

Today, the owner explained that the secret recipe must be bought, otherwise he would not have to go back to deal with the business.

"I can make the decision, go get the pen and ink." The old man almost ground his molars and kicked the servant beside him.

Stinky tofu is mainly fermented and dipped.

Huaxi wrote in detail how to ferment and the precautions. As for the dipping sauce, he only gave the simple seasoning used now.He didn't figure out the more complicated ones, and it was this day that he was guarding against.

The old man wrote the contract, and after Huaxi checked that there were no pitfalls, he gave the secret recipe to the other party and signed his name.

The matter was done, but the old man's face didn't look happy at all, it was more like he had suffered a bad loss, he flung his sleeves and left, he was annoyed even to look at Huaxi one more time.

But Huaxi said angrily, "Go slowly, welcome to come again next time."

The old man snorted angrily and got into the carriage, ignoring him to urge the young man to drive the carriage.

Huaxi looked at the 200 taels silver note in his hand with a smile, and his private house has been settled.

It took 100 for household registration before, and 30 was advanced to Ma Dadong for the expansion of the house, and then he gave Zhang's [-] for the house.The remaining [-] taels were kept by myself.There is no money left to toss about a new house.

Now that's all right, after the household registration is completed, he can build a small house on a homestead next to Zhang's house, and after the two families are connected, build high walls around them to prevent thieves and theft.

Ma Qing'er swallowed, he was a little immune to the fact that Huaxi could suddenly earn hundreds of taels of silver, it seemed strange that he didn't get a few hundred taels of silver.He scratched his head, only glanced at the bank note in Huaxi's hand, and then looked away. Anyway, he didn't come to find trouble. He put the ax away, and he was going back to the backyard to help.He may be the first person in his family to hope that the house will be built quickly, because he is still living in the woodshed.

Huaxi collected the bank notes and went back to the house to write and draw on the table.

The current stinky tofu is very popular, and the daily income is only two taels of silver, which is too slow.But judging from the current financial resources, we can only expand the types of business first, and make such a small fuss.

The modern dining car that he first thought of can be drawn by horses, and it can also be used as a substitute for walking at that time, instead of walking back and forth with legs.

Before he knew it, Huaxi finished the final draft, and the sun also set on the western mountain.The craftsmen who built the house had already gone back, and Hua Xi, who had collected the sketches, stretched out of the house.

Before the sky had completely dimmed, Mrs. Zhang had asked Mrs. Liu to light up all the lanterns, illuminating the thatched shed and the food on the stone table.

Huaxi took a closer look, and found that they were all home-cooked dishes taught by Mrs. Liu these days. Just by looking at the appearance, Huaxi could score [-] points and eat them.

A bearded man sat in the front seat, gladly accepting the wine Ma Dadong poured for him.

And he is none other than Lizheng Xie Yan.

He came, but no one came to tell him?

Ma Qing'er hid far away, didn't even go in front of her, leaned over when she saw Huaxi, and explained casually: "He came to deliver the household registration documents, so mother left him for dinner. What are you doing in the house?" , come out now?"

It turned out that when Ma Qing'er went to Lizheng's house, he was still in the magistrate's yamen and did not come back, so Ma Qing'er's trip was considered wasted.

I don't know if the other party did it on purpose or unintentionally, and they didn't come to deliver it at meal time.

Huaxi hummed indifferently, indicating that he knew, "Pay more attention to horses these two days, I want to buy them."

"What? Horse? Do you want to ride?" Ma Qinger's first reaction was that Huaxi wanted to ride, and the volume was turned up unconsciously.
