Chapter 49 Silver

Chen Chunhua doesn't care. Everyone's tastes are different, so there will naturally be differences.

After waiting for a long time, the shopkeeper took another piece of meat to eat. After eating, he looked at Chen Chunhua and said, "I have been eating food for decades. Not to mention other things, just doing business over the years.

I eat a lot and I’m very picky. After eating the tofu you made today, I really can’t find anything else.”

When the shopkeeper was young, he also worked as a cook, so he naturally had some skills in cooking, but what he ate today made him unable to be picky.

Chen Chunhua shook her head. This is not because her cooking skills are good, but because the tofu is too fresh in this place. If it were in modern times, what she made would be just average. "If the shopkeeper thinks it is good, I will start teaching him."

!”

"Okay, then I'll trouble you!"

"No trouble!"

Later, Chen Chunhua made fried tofu, which is called double-sided yellow in her hometown. That is, after frying one side of the tofu until brown, turn it over and then add the ingredients and simmer it together.

I made fried tofu, roasted tofu with minced meat, and several other recipes.

As soon as the tofu came out of the pot, and the two cooks could still use chopsticks, they were taken away by the shopkeeper. Chen Chunhua was so funny that she continued to cook other things until she finished a plate of tofu.

The shopkeeper brought the tofu directly to the table and gave it to the guests. After the first one, there was naturally a second one. Seeing that a strange dish was coming out, everyone was clamoring for that dish.

"Shopkeeper, do you have a new chef? How do you cook it so delicious?" The person speaking was a regular customer who comes here often and knows the shopkeeper very well.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "That's okay, but I can't afford it. This is the chef of the Zhendong Tofu Shop himself, and he's teaching me and the two chefs their skills!"

"Zhendong Tofu Shop?"

"You just came back from another county. A tofu shop opened in the east of town a few days ago. What you have on the table is not just tofu!"

"It's a great feeling. Wait until you learn how to be a cook and I'll come here every day until you get tired of it!"

"Thank you very much!"

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, someone from another table called out, "Shopkeeper, I want to order some tofu for this table too!"

"Okay, just a moment!" After the shopkeeper said that, he entered the kitchen, where Chen Chunhua was explaining to Lao Cai the technique of turning tofu.

"Someone is ordering tofu outside. If you are not busy, I have to rely on you to help!" The shopkeeper said to Chen Chunhua as soon as he came in. Chen Chunhua was stunned and said, "Okay, I'll finish the work!"

After lunch time, the number of guests came less. Chen Chunhua also stopped and said that she was here to teach the cooks skills. She was the one doing the cooking, and the two cooks couldn't even help her. Chen Chunhua was used to doing it herself.

But she was exhausted.

After seeing this, Lao Cai and the old cook had a very good impression of Chen Chunhua.

The two plates of tofu they brought were cooked, and even the basket of dried tofu was sold. Chen Chunhua didn't know whether Lao Cai and the old cook had learned the lesson.

"Daughter-in-law, are you tired? Come drink water!" The third child poured a bowl of water for Chen Chunhua and handed it to her. Seeing Chen Chunhua working alone, the third child couldn't help even if he wanted to.

Chen Chunhua took the bowl, drank it in one gulp, wiped the water stains from the corners of her mouth, and said, "It's getting late, we have to go back to work!" After saying that, Chen Chunhua carried the basket and asked the third child to take the wooden steamer.

.

The shopkeeper is doing the accounting at the counter. The business has doubled this afternoon. Thanks to the owner of the tofu shop, if not everyone is in business, he really wants Chen Chunhua to work in his restaurant as a cook.

I think, I can't say, it's just a pity.

Seeing Chen Chunhua come out, the shopkeeper waved to her and said, "The tofu you brought today is sixty yuan in total. Plus a basket of dried tofu, I don't count what you are short of. The total here is one hundred and twenty yuan."

Wen, please count!" After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he handed Chen Chunhua a bunch of copper coins.

Chen Chunhua held the basket, took the copper coins, picked them up, and said, "I can trust the shopkeeper!"

"Okay, here is the money you gave me to teach me how to be a cook. I don't know if you don't mind it. If you think it's not enough, let's talk about it!" The shopkeeper said and put two taels of silver into Chen Chunhua's hand.

Chen Chunhua felt a little excited. How many pieces of tofu would she sell for two taels of silver? "That's enough. I didn't teach you anything. If you need anything, just go to the shop and call me."

"Okay, starting tomorrow, I'll deliver three plates of tofu and a basket of dried beans to my restaurant!"

"Okay, it's settled, if nothing happens, we'll leave first!"

"Oh, walk slowly!"

Chen Chunhua made money, and she felt happy. She thought about speeding up her pace, but she didn't forget that she still had to grind soybeans when she went back. Although she made money, it was just luck.

The third child was also happy for Chen Chunhua, but he felt a little depressed. After thinking about it, the money earned by his wife was not his, so it was okay.

Chen Chunhua saw the third brother following behind him silently, turned to look at him and said, "Third brother, what's wrong with you? Are you tired?"

The third child hurriedly shook his head. How could he be tired? He just watched his wife working while sitting and doing nothing. "Daughter-in-law, are you tired? Why don't I go call a bullock cart!"

"What are you shouting for? I didn't even ride on a bullock cart here, and I won't need it when I go back!" Chen Chunhua is very self-reliant in modern times. She has no concept of the superiority of men and women in her mind. Naturally, she doesn't understand the boredom in the third child's heart.

Returning to the shop, Chen Chunhua put down the basket, took out a bunch of copper coins, put them on the table and counted them carefully. It was exactly one hundred and twenty. It was difficult to count in front of people, so naturally she had to count them clearly when she came back. Besides,

She said that this business is not hers, but she cannot be allowed to put money into it.

The third child took the wood steamer to scrub it. After scrubbing it, he started grinding the beans.

Chen Chunhua looked at the two taels of silver placed on the table and wiped it again and again. This was money! Thinking about it, she put it away, but she unconsciously thought that this cooking skill belongs to her, so the money is natural.

It belongs to her too, should Madam Dong be allowed to speak out about this matter?

With this thought in mind, there was a knock on the door outside.

Chen Chunhua collected the money, straightened her clothes and ran to open the door. When she opened the door, there were two middle-aged men of different heights standing outside.

"Is the boss here?" The tall, thin middle-aged man looked at Chen Chunhua and said, "I'm here to buy tofu!"

Chen Chunhua nodded and said, "That's it. This tofu was sold out early in the morning!"

"Is it really gone?" The tall and thin middle-aged man showed an expression of disbelief, and then said with a hint of worry. "I also want to buy some tofu and give it to my mother. She hasn't eaten for several days."

After hearing this, Chen Chunhua frowned unconsciously. "How about you finish it early tomorrow?"

"I don't want to go with him, I'm here to talk about something!" said the shorter middle-aged man.
