"Is someone looking for me?" Zhu Yan really couldn't guess who could come to him at this time. He took Yuan Xiao's hand and followed Sun Yuzhu out of the kitchen.

When he got out of the kitchen, Zhu Yan saw his grandma sitting with two strange middle-aged men and discussing things. Based on what Sun Yuzhu said just now, Zhu Yan knew that the person who came to see him should be talking to his grandma right now. The two who spoke.

"Grandma, I heard Brother Yu Zhu said that someone is looking for me." Zhu Yan led Yuan Xiao forward quickly, and found a place to sit down.

"Ah Yan, you are here. These two said they want to discuss business with us. How can I know business as a little old lady? Tell them quickly." The old lady Zhu got up and was about to leave, but when she left, Then he added to the two people in front of him: "You two, this is my grandson. He runs this bean food shop by himself. If you have any questions, you can talk about it."

"Hey, thank you old man!" The two people sitting opposite stood up and bowed to the old lady Zhu. Seeing that the old lady had gone, they turned their heads and saluted Zhu Yan and Yuan Xiao again, "Little boss, don't blame us The two brothers came to visit abruptly, because they really never forget the bean curd sticks and thousand sheets from your shop."

Zhu Yan saw that the strange brother on the opposite side was humble and polite, and he also took Yuan Xiao to salute them, and then sat down together. He looked at the two brothers in front of him. One was tall and thin with a sharp face, and the other was short and thick with a square face. face, if they hadn’t said they were brothers, it would have been difficult for Zhu Yan to return the two of them as a family. Zhu Yan looked at them and said with a smile: "It seems that the two of you have come to our Dou Shi Fang for the first time, yes Where did you know about our Yuzhu and Qianzhang?"

"To be honest, we two brothers are from other towns. Yesterday we came here to visit our old friends and had a meal at Meimeixuan. Then we tasted yuba and Qianzhang. Once we tasted it, we will never forget the taste." The strange brother The knife-faced man among them explained with a smile, while still looking around the room, "Fortunately, the shopkeeper of Meimeixuan is also a good person, so he told us directly that the yuba and Qianzhang were ordered at your house. The two brothers decided to come here to order a batch and take it to their own store."

Zhu Yan nodded. At the same time, he was keenly aware of the last sentence the brother said just now, and asked, "Brother's family is also in the restaurant business?"

"That's right, we run a restaurant business in the town next door. Our brothers' surname is Zhang. My name is Zhang Dafu, and my brother's name is Zhang Xiaofu. We don't have your bean curd sticks and thousands of sheets in our town. I think delicious food should be enjoyed by everyone. You can eat them all." After finishing speaking, Zhang Dafu, with a knife face, did not forget to show everyone a satisfied smile that only belongs to foodies.

The brothers of the Zhang family are very good friends, Zhu Yan said to the brothers of the Zhang family when his aunt brought the food, "Try our family's boiled thousand pieces first, and this red stewed bean curd stick. Let's talk while eating."

After hearing this, the brothers of the Zhang family stopped being polite and moved their chopsticks one after another. As soon as the food was eaten, the two brothers stopped talking.

After a meal, Zhang Xiaofu of the Zhang family brothers was happy to eat, so he said to Zhu Yan: "Little boss, I didn't expect that the dishes made by your home-made bean curd sticks are even more delicious than Meimeixuan. , we want to order your bean curd sticks and thousand sheets for a long time."

"Success, our family can do wholesale and retail, but I don't know how the two brothers do wholesale?" Zhu Yan and Yuan Xiao looked at each other, saw their husband nodding, and decided to do business with the two in front of them.

After Zhu Yan agreed, the Zhang family brothers discussed it, and after a while, Zhang Dafu continued to talk to Zhu Yan: "We discussed it, we order yuba and [-] pieces of five catties each day, how to calculate the price. "

"Our bean curd sticks cost ten renminbi a catty, and thousands of sheets are fifteen renminbi a catty. If the two of you each want five catties a day, it will be 120 five renminbi. If you order for a long time, I will wipe off the change. I will only charge you 120 renminbi. What do you two think?" Zhu Yan calculated the price, and the two brothers immediately agreed.

Long before, the Zhang family brothers had asked the shopkeeper of Meimeixuan about the price. They saw that Zhu Yan didn't deliberately raise the price because they were foreigners, and they gave them five cents cheaper. How could the Zhang family brothers have any hesitation? portion?

Zhang Dafu said gratefully to Zhu Yan: "Then thank you little boss, then let's draw up a contract now?"

With Zhang Dafu's suggestion, Zhu Yan didn't say anything more, and several people drew up a contract, and discussed the time to come and go to Yuzhu and Qianzhang every day.

Although the shop where the Zhang family brothers are located is in the next town, but fortunately the distance between the two towns is not far. If you drive here, it only takes more than half an hour. So the Zhang family brothers discussed with Zhu Yan, and they will come here every morning. Take the ingredients, and the money will be settled every day.

After finishing all the relevant procedures, Zhu Yan took the yuba and the thousand sheets that Yuan Xiao had prepared for him together, and brought them to the Zhang family brothers, and started to popularize the Zhang family brothers, "Two brothers, yuba is a thing It is dry before eating. Unlike Qianzhang, it can be stored for a long time, but it is more difficult to cook than Qianzhang. It needs to be foamed. Before cooking with bean curd sticks, it should be foamed for three hours in advance. Use cold water and warm water in winter, these must be remembered.”

Although Zhang Xiaofu is a little shorter, his thoughts are still relatively delicate. When Zhu Yan taught them how to deal with the yuba, he directly took the pen and paper in his hand and wrote it down carefully. The appearance of listening carefully made Zhu Yan follow Seriously.

After Zhu Yan finished what he was supposed to say, the Zhang family brothers carried their things and prepared to leave. When they were leaving, Zhu Yan called the Zhang family brothers to stop and said enthusiastically: "You two brothers, you must hurry back this time. It’s too late to eat lunch, so you take these bean dregs cakes and use them to pad your stomach on the road.”

"This, how can this be?" Zhang Dafu and Zhang Xiaofu looked embarrassed, but at the same time they couldn't resist the golden bean dregs cake.

Seeing this, Zhu Yan pursued the victory even more, stuffed the bean dregs cake into Zhang Dafu's hands, and at the same time, he did not forget to tell his real purpose, "It's impossible, we will be friends from now on, what is this bean dregs cake worth?" , if our yuba and Qianzhang become popular in your shop in the future, the two brothers, don’t forget to help us promote more and let more people know about our old Zhu’s Bean Food Shop.”

Although the Zhang family brothers are very sincere, they are not fools. When Zhu Yan said this, Zhang Dafu immediately assured him, "I wish you boss rest assured, we will definitely help your store to promote, and you can rest assured that our brothers are doing business!"

"Okay!" Zhu Yan sent off the Zhang family brothers with a smile, and told his family about his plan, "If our yuba and qianzhang sell well in the next town, then the demand for yuba and qianzhang will increase. There are more and more, and the day when we buy this shop is getting closer."

With Zhu Yan's words, everyone in the old Zhu's family was full of energy, those who made bean curd sticks made bean curd sticks, and those who greeted guests greeted guests, and they were busy until the evening.

In the evening, after Yuan Xiao and other family members washed up, Zhu Yan secretly went to the backyard to fill the well as usual. Because the weather was cold, Zhu Yan slipped into the house after filling the well.

In the room, Yuan Xiao was spreading the quilt. He looked up and saw Zhu Yan coming over, and said with a smile, "Ah Yan, I'll be spreading the bedding right away."

"Well, I'll help you." Zhu Yan changed his underwear in front of Yuan Xiao, and started to help Yuan Xiao with work.

After all the quilts were laid out, Yuan Xiao asked Zhu Yan to sit, and began to massage Zhu Yan himself. After pressing for a while, he hugged Zhu Yan's neck from behind, put his chin on Zhu Yan's shoulder and said softly, "Ah Yan, let me work in the future, I don't want you to work hard."

"I'm not working hard here. There are so many people in my family helping me. You just need to take care of yourself." Zhu Yan stretched out his hand to touch Yuan Xiao's cheek, and when Yuan Xiao was about to continue, he turned around and kissed her Yuan Xiao's lips, taking advantage of the situation, threw the person on the kang, and gave up with a kiss. He raised his head and said to Yuan Xiao with a smile: "Yuan Xiao, do you think our little baby can understand our words now?"

Faced with her husband's whims, Yuan Xiao smiled helplessly, and then explained: "It's not long since I'm pregnant, so he probably won't listen."

"...I don't believe it, I want to try it." Zhu Yan was silent for a moment, smiled and put his ear on Yuan Xiao's stomach, the corner of his mouth curled up in a beautiful arc, and said softly in a child's tone: "My little baby, can you hear me now? If you can hear me, kick me. Father and Daddy want to say hello to you."

Listening to Zhu Yan's words, Yuan Xiao couldn't help laughing anymore, he touched Zhu Yan's head, giggled and said: "Ah Yan, don't tease me, baby might understand you the words said."

Zhu Yan was about to refute Yuan Xiao, when he heard a rumbling sound from Yuan Xiao's stomach, he raised his head and proudly said to Yuan Xiao who was already blushing: "Look, the little baby is saying that his daddy is hungry gone."

"Well, I just finished eating, why am I hungry again?" Yuan Xiao and Zhu Yan got up together, he touched his stomach, and his mouth looked miserable.

Seeing this, Zhu Yan stopped joking. He stretched out his hand and rubbed Yuan Xiao's head, and said softly, "Your body is quite special now, it's normal to be hungry. If you want to eat, I'll make it for you."

As for food, Yuan Xiao can always name one casually recently, and now he said happily: "I want to eat custard."

"Sure, custard is easy to digest at night." After Zhu Yan finished speaking, he put on his clothes and prepared to go to his kitchen.

However, Yuan Xiao also put on clothes on the other side, and ignored Zhu Yan's dissuasion, and hurriedly followed to the kitchen.

The method of making egg custard is very simple. Just mix egg liquid, salt, and warm and cool boiled water according to a certain ratio. The bowl of the egg liquid is placed in a pot for steaming over water. During the period, the fire is changed to a small fire, and the pot cover is left to cook.

After Zhu Yan put the custard into the pot, he was going to ask Yuan Xiao to wait in the room, but seeing Yuan Xiao staring at his own drying room, he couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Ah Yan, as our business grows bigger and bigger in the future, don't we need to recruit workers? Otherwise, we will not be able to keep busy with just a few people in our family." Yuan Xiao turned around and took Zhu Yan's hand, showing concern in his eyes , his body will be inconvenient a lot in the future. At that time, there will be more and more work in the family, and I am afraid that his family Ah Yan will be tired.

Zhu Yan noticed the worry in Yuan Xiao's eyes, he smiled, and explained to Yuan Xiao: "There is no hurry, our family can still be busy now, you don't have to worry."

But I don’t want Zhu Yan to guess wrong this time. Maybe the Zhang family brothers in the next town are too honest and have done a lot of free publicity for Lao Zhu’s house. After half a month, many restaurants from other places have come to Lao Zhu’s house to order Yuba and Qianzhang.

The old Zhu's Dou Shifang was completely busy, and Zhu Yan didn't dare to say that he was not in a hurry at this time. On this day, he and Yuan Xiao posted a recruitment notice at the door of their house, and at the same time they were going to go out with the old lady Zhu. Propaganda on the street.

Unexpectedly, before Zhu Yan could go out, he bumped into a woman, who came up and yelled Brother Tie Dan sweetly.

Now not only Zhu Yan was not calm, but even Sun Yuzhu who greeted the guests at the door was not calm anymore.
