It goes without saying whose mouth these dishes will end up in when they are delivered to the imperial kitchen.
Although Song Yutong regarded wealth as her life, Mr. Ji once held a knife to her neck and gestured at her belly, so she didn't want to sell these vegetables to him at all.
"Master, it's too late for you to say this. Today is twenty-nine, and tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Where can I have extra vegetables to sell?"
"Of course that's not what Mrs. Cheng said. With all due respect, I still remember that you promised to cook hard vegetables and medicinal meals for several wealthy businessmen on New Year's Eve. Naturally, this business cannot be compared to Mr. Ji. As long as my county magistrate makes the announcement
If you ask for something, they will naturally give it to you."
Song Yutong laughed angrily when he heard this half-threat.
How could she forget that in ancient times there was also forced buying and selling?
Especially this kind of powerful and unreasonable person. His favorite thing to do is to press people's heads and force others to nod.
"It seems that Master still doesn't know much about my business. The hard dishes I receive from Qianweiju are real meat dishes. Who told you that they are hard dishes made from vegetables? Since your county magistrate is so rich
The spirit of dedication, why should we be generous to others.”
Song Yutong's eyes turned to the two baskets of remaining vegetables and then back to the master.
"Otherwise, I won't cook today's banquet. You can take these many vegetables and send them to the county magistrate now. If you want meat and vegetables, I still have a lot of them. The only vegetables left are for the county magistrate.
There are two baskets.”
As Song Yutong said this, she took off the apron around her neck and was about to stop working.
The master stood there and thought for a long time. He could not offend the county magistrate, let alone Mr. Ji.
Today we are also hosting a banquet with a seventh-rank official, who has relatives above the fifth rank.
If this meal is good and people are happy, the official position can be promoted to a higher level, and he can be promoted along with it.
It is related to my grandfather's future, and it is also related to his future.
This dish even makes him want to eat it.
"This... Mrs. Cheng, let's discuss it carefully."
The master smiled with a flattering look on his face and called Song Yutong, thinking that Mrs. Cheng was naturally smart and there must be a way to help him.
"There is nothing to discuss. Either you give the vegetables to Mr. Ji, or ask him to wait until spring. The vegetables in the fields grow one after another. How can he think so much that he can do it in the fields?
If it is grown for him, does he really think he knows the Lord of the Land?"
Song Yutong's words were not polite at all, and the facts proved that the master's request was too much.
It's true that there is no food in the fields, it's not that she doesn't want to sell.
"If you have money to make, do you think I am a person who doesn't know how to make money? If so, I wouldn't offer him an extra sum of money with both hands. Is he worthy of opening such a big restaurant? Just tell him my exact words,
Let him taste it by himself. I am useless, so I can change it for him wherever I can. If I had that ability, I would be afraid of him."
Song Yutong's words were more or less filled with resentment. The master didn't know what happened between Song Yutong and Mr. Ji.
However, looking at Song Yutong's expression of deep resentment, he knew that Mr. Ji must have done something unreasonable and offended Mrs. Cheng.
You must know that if Mrs. Cheng loses her temper, she will dare to scold you even if you are the king of heaven.
If you don't offend her, she can get along well with you, and you will naturally get a lot of benefits from her.
Young Master Liujiang is an example, as well as Mr. Li.
She just said a few words to help Qianweiju. Song Yutong will find a way to get and sell you the good things, good fruits, and some things that can only be eaten as tribute from the royal family.
So don't underestimate Mrs. Cheng. She may be just a small restaurant owner, but she must have quite a lot of connections behind her.
Such a person dares to be so crazy against the prince. Facts have proved that her backstage is probably bigger than this, so she will not worry about offending the prince.
She can easily obtain all kinds of fruits that other countries offer as tribute to the royal family, which proves her extensive connections.
Maybe he even knows princes from other countries.
Even seeds from overseas can be obtained, and so many fresh and special vegetables can be grown that can grow proudly in the cold winter.
"Mrs. Cheng, what you said is going too far, isn't it? I will try my best to convey it to you. I need to ask Mrs. Cheng to pay more attention to this dish today."
The master smiled and took out a silver ingot from his pocket and put it into Song Yutong's hand to let her calm down.
But don't really give up. There are a lot of officials out there, regardless of their rank, who are actually waiting for his cooking right now.
Song Yutong snorted coldly and threw the silver nail back, right into the master's arms.
"Take your dirty money back. I have promised to cook these meals recently, so naturally I will not break my promise. I am not happy to accept your money, lest Mr. Ji come to trouble you in the future, just because I accepted it.
This is a certain amount of money, and you put the blame on me."
Song Yutong knew that she couldn't accept the Master's money at this time. If she really accepted it, she would have to help them carry their bags in the future.
As long as something really happened, these people would dare to throw the bag on her head.
She can also force herself to make these people take off a layer of skin.
After all, if you collect the money, it will definitely be difficult to do things, and if you confiscate the money, you will be short-handed.
Song Yutong had a clear plan in her mind.
It was precisely because of her calculation that helped her avoid disaster.
The master caught the silver ingot in his arms and looked at Song Yutong with a somewhat complicated expression. When he lowered his head, a dark light flashed in his eyes.
Mrs. Cheng was smarter than he thought. If he accepted the money, the master would use her as a backstop. When she bit him back, he could confidently say that Song Yutong felt that he didn't give enough, so he bit back deliberately.
But she didn't take any money from her. Even if he wanted to do this frame-up, it wouldn't be that easy.
Taking it and not taking it are two different things. If you take it, it means your hands and feet are unclean. No one will believe you even if you say something.
But since this extra money was never confiscated from the beginning to the end, people would subconsciously think that it was framed.
Mrs. Cheng behaved very principledly when doing things outside, which made everyone admire her character.
A restaurant owner, or a female owner, can make his own restaurant so prestigious in a short period of time, and there are too few people who are also prestigious themselves.
Even ordinary men can't compare. Although Mr. Cheng is rarely seen in these days, the master will feel frightened when he thinks of this man.
