When the shopkeeper smelled the fragrance, he was already looking forward to it. When Li Qingling brought out a plate of rabbit meat that was colourful and fragrant, his eyes immediately lit up.He personally took the rabbit meat from Li Qingling"s hands and placed it on the table. Then, he picked up the chopsticks and started to eat.
He couldn"t stop after the first one.
He had to admit that the rabbit meat was indeed more delicious than the one cooked by the chef in the building. Not only was the meat fresh and tender, there was also an indescribable taste. In short, it was extremely delicious.
"Shopkeeper, what kind of food is this?" It"s very fragrant. Give me a plate as well! " Some customers smelled the fragrance, and when they saw how delicious the manager was eating, they couldn"t help but open their mouths.
"I want one here too."
"Me too."
The other guests started to speak as well.
Before this dish could be released, it had already become extremely popular. When the restaurant owner heard this, he could only smile so hard that his teeth could no longer be seen.
He ate half a plate of rabbit meat in one go before slowly putting down his chopsticks and saying to the guests, "This is the new dish in the restaurant. It will be officially launched tomorrow. We welcome all of you to come and try it tomorrow."
After he finished speaking, he turned around to look at Li Qingling, and gestured towards him, "Miss Xiao Ling, this way please, we will have a good chat."
Li Qingling calmly nodded her head, pulled on Liu Zhimo"s sleeve and the two followed the shopkeeper into the private room.
Just as they sat down, the shopkeeper spoke out, "Miss Xiao Ling, I wonder what the recipe for that dish is? How much are you selling it for?" The first thing he did was to eat the rabbit meat that was different from the one cooked by the chefs in the restaurant. If he got the recipe and the dish was pushed out of the restaurant, his business would definitely be booming.
Thinking about it here, the shopkeeper"s gaze towards Li Qingling became even more fervent.
Li Qingling raised her teacup and took a sip of water, then said slowly: "The formula is not for sale." When she saw the shopkeeper"s expression change, she laughed, "For Fumanlou." Hugging Fumanlou"s thigh meant that she had a lot of good things to offer.
"Huh?" The shopkeeper"s mood went up and down quickly. Looking at Li Qingling, the astute was a little dumbfounded, "Sending … for the Fumanlou? "
"Yes, this is for Fumanlou." Li Qingling nodded heavily, "But I have a condition."
The shopkeeper calmed his mood, cleared his throat and asked Li Qingling what conditions she had.
"The rabbits that we raise at home, I hope Fumanlou can sell them all. However, storekeeper uncle doesn"t need to worry, they will definitely be fat and beautiful, the quality of the meat they make is definitely the same as what they made just now."
Seeing Li Qingling"s confident look, the shopkeeper"s eyes flashed, and laughed: "Miss Xiao Ling, you really surprise me. What else do you raise? Master"s eyes were indeed sharp, this Li Qingling would really give them an even more pleasant surprise.
Li Qingling supported her chin on her hand, smiling as she replied. There were even sheep and tigers raised in the family, maybe she would raise other things in the future.
The shopkeeper thought that Li Qingling was joking, whose family knows how to take care of the tiger?
In the future, when he personally went to look for Li Qingling for help, he would really be shocked when he saw Tiger.
"Fine, I"ll make a promise here. In the future, no matter what Miss Xiao Ling raises, everything can be eaten. Fumanlou will sell everything."
He was looking forward to see what surprises Li Qingling could give him.
Hearing that, the smile on Li Qingling"s face became even more brilliant, "Then I will remember these words." What she raised, even if the Fumanlou didn"t accept, she could still sell it in other restaurants, this is not something she was worried about, "Speaking of which, how much can the storekeeper uncle afford to buy our family"s rabbit? You have already tasted it, our family"s rabbit meat is different from normal, it"s even more delicious."
If he had known earlier, he would have left a rabbit for the children at home to taste.
However, since she had already brought it, the shopkeeper might not agree if she took another one and left.
The shopkeeper rubbed his chin and spoke directly, giving a price of 35 gold coins per catty.
This was a very high price, it could be considered as repayment for Li Qingling"s free sacrifice.
Moreover, the shopkeeper also wanted to keep Li Qingling as a person, so he couldn"t be stingy.
When Li Qingling heard the price, she did not reject and immediately nodded her head.
She even had the shopkeeper write an agreement, showing that the Fumanlou would sell all of her domesticated rabbits.
The shopkeeper agreed, wrote her an agreement, and signed it.
After Li Qingling read the contents of the agreement, she also signed her name and gave one to the shopkeeper. She kept one for herself.
"Alright, I"ll go teach the chef in the teaching building to cook this dish." Li Qingling drank a cup of tea and quickly stood up.
The shopkeeper asked Liu Zhimo to sit in a private room and wait, he brought Li Qingling to the kitchen with a smile on her face.
When the chefs saw Li Qingling walking in, their eyes shone as they looked at her. Just now, they had eaten that piece of rabbit meat and had no choice but to admit that it was even more delicious than what they had cooked.
They all wanted Li Qingling to teach them a thing or two, but they couldn"t bring themselves to speak up. Now, seeing the shopkeeper bringing her in, their heartbeats quickened.
"Miss Xiao Ling, pick two people!"
Li Qingling smiled as she looked at the chefs, and seeing their eyes filled with antic.i.p.ation, she laughed and said, "This time, I will not pick anyone out. In front of everyone, I will make sure to cook them once, and I will tell all of you that formulas and the like, how much you can comprehend will be up to you."
As soon as she said that, the chefs trembled in excitement.
The shopkeeper looked at Li Qingling with praise. Whose cooking skills were not hidden? The girl was very generous, "What are you standing there for? Why aren"t you guys thanking Miss Xiao Ling? "
"Thank you, Miss Xiao Ling."
"You"re welcome."
Li Qingling taught them in the kitchen. After teaching them all, she asked the chefs if they remembered anything. Seeing that they had memorized everything, she then walked out of the kitchen with a relieved heart.
As soon as she came out, the shopkeeper gave her a purse. She took it and put it away without even looking at it.
Seeing that she had such a big heart, the shopkeeper smiled and asked her, "Aren"t you afraid that he"ll cheat her?"
Li Qingling giggled while looking at the shopkeeper, saying that she trusted him.
The shopkeeper was elated by these words as he watched Li Qingling and Li Qingling walk out of the Fumanlou, then turned around to write a letter to Master.
After Li Qingling sold the rabbit, he smiled from the corner of her eyes, "With the rabbit at home, Xiao Feng will not have to worry about the money she will earn from the school." She must treat her family"s rabbit well. That was money!
Liu Zhimo looked at her and could not help but raise his hand to rub her head and grumble.
"Come, let"s go buy something."
"Alright …"
As long as she came to the town and sold things, she would definitely buy things. He was already used to it.
The two bought another pile of delicious food and went back home, making the kids at home jump in joy.
From that day onwards, Li Qingling served the little chicken at home, and the rabbit was even more diligent.
He woke up early every day to clean the chicken coop and even told the children at home to dig earthworms to feed the chickens.
"Little... Xiao Lingjie, is Xiao Feng home? " When Li Qingling had just opened the courtyard door this day, a child called Da He who lived in the village saw her and asked her shyly.
Li Qingling smiled at him, "You"re at home, come in!" She turned around and shouted into the house again, "Xiao Feng, Big River is looking for you."
Li Qingfeng replied and ran out from the house.
As soon as Big River saw Li Qingfeng, he extended out his hand from behind his back. In his hand, he held out a small cage, "This … This is the land dragon I dug out, here you are. " He stuffed it into Li Qingfeng"s hands and turned to run away.
Li Qingfeng pulled him back, telling him to wait a bit. He turned around and ran back into the house, took a few of Li Qingling"s potato pancakes and ran out, stuffing them into the river"s hands, "Here, take it back and eat with your sister!"
Big River blushed as he took the potato pancakes and ran away.
Li Qingling watched on from the side and did not make a sound. She glanced at her and chuckled, "Big River is rather pitiful. His mother always prevents him from eating her fill, so..." He was afraid that her sister would object to him doing so.
Li Qingling looked at Li Qingfeng. She knew that the child in the big river, who was born without a mother, and whose father had married a stepmother, would treat him and his sister very badly.
The situation looked a little similar to when they were living in the Old Lee. No wonder Xiao Feng sympathized with him.
She smiled at Li Qingfeng and rubbed his head, "Within my ability, I can help your little friend." No matter what, people always needed friends. She wouldn"t stop her brother from making friends.
Seeing that Li Qingling approved of his actions, Li Qingfeng smiled, he twirled her finger, and explained further: "Big River is pretty good, once when Li Qingfu bullied me, he even helped me!" If not for this, he would not have helped the river so easily.
was very pleased with her brother"s kindness, and took this opportunity to guide him a bit.
"You"ve grown up and can decide your own business now. But, making friends depends on his character as well. Those with good behavior can be handed over without worry. Those with bad character will have to stay away from them. Do you understand? "
"Mm, I understand, sister." He would be like the other kids in the village. He obviously looked down on them, but in order to eat his snacks, he pretended to be good to them. He didn"t even want to bother with people like them.
Only someone like Big River who was sincerely on good terms with him would help him. Otherwise, he wouldn"t pay attention to him.
Seeing that her brother was so sensible, Li Qingling rubbed his head again before taking a broom to clean the courtyard.
It was unknown what Li Qingfeng said to Big River, but in short, Big River would come to the Li Family to report everyday. Every time he came, he would bring along a small cage of earthworms.
He had come many times already, and he was a little familiar with Li Qingling, so he was no longer afraid of her.
Every time Li Qingling saw how skinny shshelooked, he would feel sorry for him. Every time she had food at home, he would give him some to eat, and every time he took it, he would rush to help Li Qingling work.
In the beginning, Li Qingling would still stop him, but every time, she would always be like this and let him be.
