Chen Yu looked at the young man standing outside the door with fists in his hands and saluted, and couldn't help but sigh that he was so kind.
"Chen Yichuan, I would like to pay my respects to Mrs. Su." Chen Yichuan said, cupping his fists and respectfully giving Chen Yu a junior salute.
Chen Yu returned the courtesy: "You're welcome, Mr. Chen. Please come in."
After entering the room, Chen Yichuan exchanged a few pleasantries and said: "I was born and raised here. I have eaten fish and shrimps from the sea since I was a child, but I have never eaten such tempting seafood. Can Mrs. Su please let me see it?
Cook lady?"
"Mr. Chen, this is made by me. It's not popular on the market. It's just home-made." Chen Yu said with a smile: "Why don't you give it a try, Mr. Chen?"
Chen Yichuan quickly stood up and saluted again: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. The old lady is good at cooking. It's better for Yichuan to be respectful than to obey."
"Just a small thing, please give me an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks." Chen Yu asked Chen Yichuan to take a seat.
Because of the differences between men and women, Chen Yu asked Yan Gui to come in to accompany Chen Yichuan, and invited Chen Yichuan to taste it in the living room through the screen.
Hearing Chen Yichuan's compliments, Chen Yu curled his lips.
After dinner, Leng Xiang cleared the table and served ginger tea as instructed by Chen Yu.
Chen Yichuan was not in a hurry to leave. After taking a sip of ginger tea, he knew that Mrs. Su was an expert. The crabs were cold and ginger tea could just resolve the cold.
"Mrs. Su, I have a gracious request." Chen Yichuan said.
Chen Yu nodded: "Master Chen, please speak."
"Huizhou is close to the sea, but no matter what you do, you can't get rid of the fishy smell of these fish and shrimp. If it is heavy in oil and salt, it will lose the freshness. But the seafood cooked by Mrs. Su is really delicious. Tong Fulou wants to
I would like to ask Mrs. Su to generously give me the recipe. I will definitely thank you very much. Is that possible?" Chen Yichuan folded his hands, lowered his head and pressed his forehead against the back of his hands, showing utmost respect.
Chen Yu quite likes Chen Yichuan's polite and courteous appearance. Moreover, Chen Yichuan's eyes are clear and his appearance is rare. Zhou Zheng is handsome, which makes him very popular. The most important thing is that he wants to do this business.
Therefore, Chen Yu said with a smile: "Okay, then please invite Mr. Chen to come back tomorrow. It will take some time to write the recipe now."
Chen Yichuan was a bit caught off guard by Chen Yu's attitude. After all, he was too talkative.
After thinking about it, she said: "Mrs. Su, don't worry. Tongfu Tower will not let the guests staying here be disturbed by others. If you have any problems, please let the people below go to me. I will do my best."
Chen Yu smiled and nodded: "I believe Mr. Chen."
After Chen Yichuan left, Leng Xiang asked: "Old madam, are you giving me this for free? Don't you have to discuss the price first?"
"Mr. Chen first said that he must express his gratitude, so naturally he won't take it for free. This is one of the reasons. Furthermore, what did we use to make these seafood?" Chen Yu looked at Leng Xiang.
Leng Xiang suddenly realized: "Yes! Everything in our ingredients is unique!"
"Not bad." Chen Yu smiled. One look at Leng Xiang's expression and he knew he had an idea. A smart person can tell.
Leng Xiang grinds ink, Chen Yu writes, and the two of them write seafood recipes under the lamp.
After writing for a moment, Chen Yu paused and said: "Yan Gui, do you know how Mrs. Cui got sick?"
"Back to Mrs. Cui, when the Tanah Lot Temple was assassinated, I captured one alive, cut off his tongue and threw it directly into Mrs. Cui's house. Maybe he was frightened." Yan Gui didn't dare to hide it.
The corner of Chen Yu's mouth twitched, "Yan Gui is very cruel, but Mrs. Cui is not an ordinary housewife. It is normal to be frightened. Is she sick from fright? She doesn't believe it."
If you know what's going on, don't worry about it. As for treating the disease? Stop making trouble. You don't want to be plotted against.
The next day, Chen Yichuan came with his entourage.
Chen Yu bound the recipe and handed it to Chen Yichuan: "Master Chen, take a look at it. My knowledge is limited, so I should just use it as a starting point."
"I can't thank you enough." Chen Yichuan put the recipe aside and gave it to his entourage with a wink. The entourage handed the exquisite box to Leng Xiang.
Leng Xiang looked at Chen Yu.
Chen Yichuan spoke first: "Mrs. Su, getting the recipe is a great opportunity for Tongfulou. A small thank you is not disrespectful."
"Easy to say." Chen Yu nodded, and Leng Xiang collected the box and sent it to Chen Yu.
After Chen Yichuan left, Lengxiang glanced at the box. The box didn't weigh much and was so small. Alas, he felt sorry for the old lady who had been busy writing recipes for half a night.
Chen Yu opened the box and took a look. There were neat banknotes inside. He took a breath of air. This young man was really generous. It seemed that Tong Fulou was very powerful.
Just when Chen Yu was about to go out, the waiter arrived at the door of the courtyard: "Mrs. Su, are you going out? Our young master has prepared a carriage, please come with me."
"What is this?" Chen Yu was confused.
The waiter quickly said: "The Cui Mansion has arranged a lot of people outside. My young master is worried about Mrs. Su's safety."
"Thank you very much." Chen Yu followed Xiao Er with Leng Xiang and Yan Gui. Next to the large carriage, Chen Yichuan stood there, clasping his fists and saluting politely.
Chen Yu walked over and returned the courtesy.
"Mrs. Su, please." After Chen Yichuan finished speaking, the waiter quickly set up the stools for getting on the carriage. After Leng Xiang helped Chen Yu get on the carriage, Chen Yichuan also got on the carriage.
After the carriage left Tongfu Tower, Chen Yichuan said, "Did Mrs. Su offend Cui Mansion?"
"Not really." Chen Yu raised the curtain and looked outside. Seeing Yan Gui in the crowd not far from the carriage, he said, "There was some business, but Cui Mansion is too greedy."
This is what Chen Yichuan believes!
"Then Mrs. Su should pay more attention to it. The Cui family is known as half the city in Huizhou Prefecture. The trees are big and have deep roots." Chen Yichuan put his hands on his knees: "I got Mrs. Su's recipe. If not,
For anything that requires you to go out in person, I am willing to run errands for Mrs. Su."
Chen Yu looked over and looked at Chen Yichuan for a few times. The young man looked like he was twenty years old at most, and he spoke calmly.
"I want to find businessmen from foreign countries to cooperate with me. This time I came to Huizhou Prefecture for the Chamber of Commerce, but it looks like we have to wait for a while." Chen Yu paused and said, "Have you seen the recipe, Mr. Chen? The ones used above are
Some of the ingredients are only available in the Su family's workshop, and I want to find a seller."
Chen Yichuan smiled: "Mrs. Su, I want to take over this business, is it possible?"
This was Chen Yu's plan, but he changed his mind temporarily. He did not expect that Chen Yichuan would give 500 taels of silver notes just for a few recipes. It's not that the recipes are not valuable, but this person is very good at measuring value, and is not a swindler.
Cheap people.
Cooperation between businessmen is more about seeing things through without telling them. When Chen Yichuan asked Chen Yu to get on the carriage, Chen Yu knew why.
"Is that so? How does Mr. Chen want to cooperate?" Chen Yu asked.
Chen Yichuan thought for a while: "Mrs. Su, I am not just cooperating with Tong Fulou. I am familiar with the merchants from other countries, but I have to make some price difference from them. As for how many ingredients I can get from Huizhou Prefecture, I will take them all. The price
negotiable."
The first business went very smoothly. Chen Yu and his party returned home. After Chen Yichuan and Chen Yu negotiated the cooperation, they signed a contract. In order to show sincerity, Chen Yu personally taught the cooks from the recipe to Tongfulou.
This cannot be taught in a day or two. Chen Yu did not go out, which made Cui Shouzheng anxious. Just when he decided to come to see Chen Yu in person, Cui Xiaoyi's letter arrived. After seeing the letter, Cui Shouzheng simply wanted to
Knocked to death!
"It's all wrong! It's all wrong!" Cui Shouzheng threw the tea cup angrily and called the butler Cui Zhong: "Send the message to Tongfulou, I want to meet the Lord of Mingzhu Township in person!"
