Chapter 7 Betting
The shopkeeper was impatient at first. Had it not been for the distinguished guests, he would have chased out this flower-like yellow-haired girl. After seeing the contents of Shen Ruolan’s second bag, his tone became even more disdainful: “This is not Is it just dry fennel seeds? What’s so strange, there are so many in our shop, and they are all fresh.”
It seems that cumin is gone.
Shen Ruolan was extremely disappointed. She wrapped up the few cumin and was about to leave. Suddenly the shopkeeper said to the man in the blue robe: “Sir Zhang has seen it. Now my daughter’s house has come out to cheat, take two I want to fool people with a rare thing. If I didn’t have a little bit of insight, I might have cheated her, hey, the world is really going down, and people’s hearts are not old!”
Shen Ruolan had already turned around and was about to leave. Hearing the shopkeeper’s ridicule, she couldn’t help but stopped and turned around, staring at the shopkeeper and said: “It’s the shopkeeper who has no knowledge. Ask, how did I lie? What did I lie to you?”
The shopkeeper snorted: “You have been exposed by me, so naturally you can’t cheat, otherwise, you will use these two things as condiments and sell them to me.”
As he said, he raised his chin a bit showy, “You probably don’t know, I have been in the condiment business for generations in Li’s family, and Li has been recognizing condiments since the day he had a meal. There is nothing I don’t recognize. Just your two things. The first one is not a seasoning at all. The second one is clearly dried fennel seeds. Just these two things are you. People may still be successful, trying to lie to me is really blinding your dog!”
Seeing his convincing and self-righteous appearance, Shen Ruolan smiled back and said: “Just because the shopkeeper doesn’t recognize these two spices, I insisted that I was a liar. Isn’t it too biased? What if I Can produce the dishes made with these two seasonings, and the dishes are also delicious, what do you say?”
Shopkeeper Li squinted at Shen Ruolan with a sparse goatee, and saw that Shen Ruolan was dressed in tatters and looked as thin as a monkey. She was supposed to be a poor man who was too poor to eat. What good food can you make if you don’t have enough stomach to eat?
Of course, she might be able to cook with these two things. Just looking at her, she definitely hasn’t eaten any good things. If you make something delicious, it will be regarded as the best delicacy in the world!
It must be so!
Thinking of this, his eyes flashed, thinking that a good opportunity had arrived, so he patted the counter, and said boldly: “If you can really make delicious dishes with these two things, I will admit that I am blind. , I lose to you two or two silvers again, but—”
He changed the conversation, with a slightly malicious smile, and said: “If you can’t make it or the things you make are not delicious, what should you do?”
Shen Ruolan said: “If I can’t make it or the things I make are not delicious, I will leave it to the disposal of shopkeeper Li, how about it?”
As soon as the shopkeeper Li heard it, his heart was immediately exasperated. This was what he was waiting for.
Although this yellow-haired girl didn’t seem to work hard, but at any rate he could do a little bit of cooking, and he would be happy to be a girl for nothing.
“Okay, it’s a deal. If you can use these two things to make something delicious today, I’ll give you two taels of silver. If you can’t make it or make some messy tricks to me, you will voluntarily give me an order. Girl, be a maid for life, dare to agree?”
There are two taels of silver to earn. Of course, Shen Ruolan will not back down with a smile. She smiled, “If there is anything you dare not, I am afraid that treasurer Li will not admit it then, let’s find a witness in the middle to be safe.”
Shopkeeper Li also wants to find a middleman, otherwise this girl won’t admit it by then, isn’t he happy for nothing?
It happens that Zhang Siye, the owner of the “Sihai Restaurant”, is here, and Zhang Siye can be regarded as a person with a face in the county, and it is only appropriate to be a middleman.
Shopkeeper Li arched his hand to Zhang Siye and said with a smile: “Zhang Siye, I have to trouble you to verify this matter today.”
When talking, the smile lines on Li’s face couldn’t be hidden. I really don’t know what good luck I had hit today. I negotiated a big deal with the owner of the “Sihai Restaurant”, and I could make more than four or five dollars in one go. , And being able to be called by a girl in vain, although this girl is not so dry and long, it is better than asking him to pay for people or hire people, so lucky!
Zhang Siye looked at them coldly, and saw the shopkeeper Li smiled, looking like she was determined to win; the little girl was ragged and skinny, but her eyes were calm and confident that did not match her age.
He couldn’t help but reminded: “Little girl, can you think about it? If you lose, you will be a slave. You don’t want to be a bull and a horse in this life. Life and death are not your own words. Now it’s too late to regret it. Don’t be reckless and arrogant!”
Shen Ruolan is very grateful for Zhang Siye’s kindness, and she can see that Zhang Siye is a very responsible and righteous person. She can use him as a witness in the middle, she can rest assured!
Shen Ruolan smiled and said, “Thank you Zhang Siye for reminding me. Don’t worry, I will never lose. Take a step back. Even if I lose, I would be willing to bet. I am the only one in my family. I can decide for myself.”
Seeing that Shen Ruolan insisted on gambling, and seeing her calm and idle, she should have confidence in herself, so she had to say: “Okay, it just so happens that I want to see how little girl can make a bet with those two things. What is it.”
Shen Ruolan reached out and uncovered the thatch cloth on the basket, took out a bowl of boiled pork slices with a layer of red pepper floating in it, put it on the counter, and then took out a bowl of cumin chicken gizzards, and said: “Actually, I made these two dishes when I was at home. Just pour this bowl of boiled pork slices into the pot and heat it up. The other cumin chicken gizzards can be stir-fried with a little oil. These two dishes are just for me. I will ask Siye Zhang to appraise these two kinds of seasonings.”
Zhang Siye leaned down and saw a layer of sesame pepper in the boiled pork slices and densely packed cumin in the cumin chicken gizzards. He nodded and said, “It is indeed made with these two kinds of things.”
Shen Ruolan said to shopkeeper Li: “I have to borrow shopkeeper Li’s back kitchen for a while, otherwise these two dishes will not be eaten, and we will have to bet and we won’t be able to continue.”
When the shopkeeper Li saw the appearance of the two dishes, he felt bad in his heart. I didn’t expect that this Ganbala was so poor that the yellow-haired girl could make such a beautiful dish. Look at the boiled pork slices, which are red. Red, black, black, green, green, just look at it to make people appetite; and the cumin chicken gizzards, pieces of chicken gizzards are fried so golden and full of oil, how can it not taste good?
He secretly winked at the two guys, and said, “Wangcai, Ergou, take these two dishes to the back kitchen to heat up.”
The two guys received a hint from the shopkeeper and hurried to the back of the kitchen with a bowl of food.
