Chapter 34 The Treasure of the Shop
This person Su Xiaoxiao is no stranger to. He is the old man who bought her tiger skin at the market a few days ago.
Mr. Li didn't expect that he was very surprised to meet Su Xiaoxiao now.
"Why is it you?"
Su Xiaoxiao quickly stepped forward and saluted very politely: "Hello, Mr. Li, my name is Su Xiaoxiao, and we meet again."
Mr. Li asked very politely: "Are you planning to come over this time to sell tiger skins?"
Su Xiaoxiao laughed when she heard this, "No, I sold all my tiger skins to you. This time I came here to sell bitter barley. The wild chrysanthemums that the medicine boy showed you just now are the medicinal materials I brewed."
Su Xiaoxiao borrowed her backpack and took out the cloth bag just now.
In front of Mr. Li, he untied the cloth bag.
A very sweet and fragrant smell wafted out, and Mr. Li's eyes widened in surprise.
"Did you dry this?"
He stretched out his hand and took out a few, "Every flower bone really looks very full, not bad!"
Su Xiaoxiao did not expect that Mr. Li was very sure of himself. He took out a few flowers and asked the medicine boy to brew them. Unexpectedly, the medicinal materials were ready in a while.
The medicine boy showed it to Mr. Li. Mr. Li saw that the color of the herbal medicine was very bright. Not only was it very fresh, but the medicinal effect was not bad at all.
Mr. Li was very happy and directly set a high price for Su Xiaoxiao. Su Xiaoxiao really didn't expect that Mr. Li was willing to pay a higher price than the market price for the wild chrysanthemum.
“I wonder what the lady’s purchasing channel is?”
Mr. Li was also very curious to inquire, but Su Xiaoxiao couldn't tell him, so she quickly interrupted: "I also run a small business, I hope Mr. Li can be considerate."
This time, Wild Chrysanthemum was successfully acquired by Mr. Li and left a very good impression on Ci'an Tang.
After walking out of Ci'an Hall, Su Xiaoxiao received a total of one thousand coins, a total of one tael of silver.
For the villagers in Baihua Village, even a strong labor force can earn as much as two hundred cents a year working outside. Su Xiaoxiao made so much money at once. She really didn't expect that she could earn so much money at once.
When they walked to the door, even Saburo and the two children were stunned.
Su Xiaoxiao had so much money in her hands.
"Mom, you succeeded! Congratulations!"
Dabao came over and said excitedly to Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao patted his little head and said, "Yes, Mom really sold those bitter barley. Come on, let's go to a restaurant!"
Su Xiaoxiao looked very happy, "Our family will be rich in the future!"
Sanlang also wanted to ask Su Xiaoxiao to keep the money and save some money.
"What's the point of saving? There are so many camellias in the mountains behind us. Now we can rely on the mountains and the water, and we can make a lot of money!"
Su Xiaoxiao was very excited, pulling Sanlang and the two children towards the Eight Immortals Tower.
The restaurant seemed very lively at this time, and it happened to be the time for dinner. It was noon, and it looked very prosperous.
Su Xiaoxiao took three people in and asked for a private room very generously.
The waiter also politely led the family into the private room, "Madam, what do you want to eat?"
After Su Xiaoxiao sat down, the waiter came over and asked.
Su Xiaoxiao asked Sanlang and the two children, "What do you want to eat? Just order anything."
Su Xiaoxiao knew that such a large restaurant must not be cheap, but if the few of them ate openly today, they would spend at most one or two hundred cash. She had a tael of silver in her pocket, so what did she have to worry about.
Unexpectedly, Saburo was quite familiar with ordering dishes.
And he actually picked out the more expensive ones, and he opened and closed his mouth lightly.
"Man, I asked you to first serve a dish of squirrel mandarin fish, West Lake vinegar fish, Kung Pao prawn balls, and then a fish breast to try. I heard that this dish is your signature dish. Are there any other signature dishes? "
When the waiter heard this, he quickly wanted to come over and report the name of the dish, but Su Xiaoxiao stopped him.
"Just give us a small stir-fried pork, stir-fried vegetables and a basket of steamed buns."
Su Xiaoxiao regretted asking Sanlang to order. He seemed to be a good eater and specially picked the expensive ones.
Su Xiaoxiao asked Sanlang: "Have you been here?"
Saburo seemed a little confused, "I always feel like I've seen each other before, and I seem to have some impression of this place."
"No wonder!"
Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, no wonder you don’t even need to look at the menu when ordering, you just open your mouth.
When all the dishes were served, Su Xiaoxiao finally figured out what the restaurant's signature dish was.
This so-called fish dumpling is actually sashimi.
Were the ancients also interested in eating this?
Su Xiaoxiao was quite shocked. She saw that the sauce the sashimi was dipped in was dark, and she only found out after the waiter introduced it.
It turns out to be a kind of jam mixed with soy sauce. It seems a bit dark!
Sanlang was so happy eating. Su Xiaoxiao didn't expect that he actually enjoyed it.
There are a lot of dishes on the table, most of which are fish. Does Saburo like fish?
It seems that Saburo's life before was pretty good. The two children had never eaten any prawns or mandarin fish, and they seemed a bit at a loss.
But when I tasted it, it still tasted delicious. Soon the three of them cleared all the dishes on the table, and everyone ate until their bellies were full.
Sure enough, if you talk about this craft, you really have to come to a big restaurant to eat it.
The dishes prepared by their chef are indeed worthy of the price.
When paying, Su Xiaoxiao took out five hundred and thirty cents with satisfaction. She didn't feel shocked at all, just a little bit of pain.
After settling the bill, the waiters sent the few people out of the restaurant very politely.
This service is quite satisfactory, and Su Xiaoxiao also understands the value of expensive things. After walking out of the restaurant, several people were attracted by a bookstall outside.
In addition to selling various villain books, there were also some other enlightenment books on the bookstall, and Saburo was quickly attracted to them.
Su Xiaoxiao asked them to choose a few books, and it happened that the only one left at home was the Thousand-Character Classic, which was almost finished.
Such an enlightening book costs thirty words, and it is quite thick. You can learn a lot from such a book, so it is well worth the price.
Su Xiaoxiao saw that there were people selling pens, inks, paper and inkstones here, so she bought some by the way. On a book that looked a bit shabby, Su Xiaoxiao saw a name, "Pei Yuan."
There was also a "Pei" on this book, and she immediately thought of the jade pendant that Saburo was wearing.
There is also the word "Pei" engraved on it. Maybe it's fate?
Su Xiaoxiao asked the shop owner: "How much does this book cost?"
The shop owner quickly replied: "This book is valuable, and it is the treasure of our store. We will not sell it!"
"The treasure of the store?"
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the book, which was nothing more than a thousand-character text and was in dilapidated condition.
Why do they sell them so expensively and are known as the treasures of the store? There are still many such new thousand-character books on their bookstalls. Why do the store owners cherish them so much?
