Chapter 33 Two hundred taels of silver (2)

Jiujin was worried about Caiwei being alone, and originally wanted to follow him, but Caiwei thought that the two were not relatives, and if shopkeeper Shen and the county magistrate asked about their relationship, she was afraid of being misunderstood and looked down upon. So he was allowed to stay.

The waiter led Caiwei up to the private room on the second floor, where he saw the county magistrate and shopkeeper Shen of Zuixianju, who were having a chat over wine.

The county magistrate is nearly forty years old. He wears plain clothes and has a thin face. He has the demeanor of a scholar. He speaks politely and politely, and does not act like an official.

"Little girl, did you make these dishes?"

Caiwei felt blessed and said: "Yes." Then she asked An: "Caiwei has met the county magistrate and shopkeeper Shen!"

"Yes, Not Bad."

The county magistrate saw that the etiquette of picking up Wei was thorough and generous, and that many people saw the inferiority and embarrassment of a high-ranking official, and his daughter's family saw the shyness and coquettishness of outsiders, so he couldn't help but praise the little girl a little more.

"I didn't expect you to have such an exquisite mind at such a young age.  "

Caiwei said modestly: "It's just a little trick that makes adults laugh."

Shopkeeper Shen pointed at the empty plate with his chopsticks and said with a smile: "This little trick of yours is very suitable for the taste of the county magistrate. Look, not a single piece of the crystal jelly is left on this plate. This is called a phoenix egg." , and there was only the bottom of the plate left!"

Caiwei took a look and saw a large round table made of rosewood wood, filled with delicacies from the mountains and seas, including shark's fins and fried belly, but she didn't even use her chopsticks, and some dishes were not even touched. Only her plate of crystal jelly was empty, with only a few small scraps left; most of the plate of phoenix eggs was eaten, with only some shredded meat left on the plate, and the eggs were already lumped together. None.

Caiwei was very happy that her dishes were so popular, and she quickly took the opportunity to talk about business: "I am honored to be loved by adults. It seems that I have come to the right place this time."

Shopkeeper Shen stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Little girl, you don't have to beat around the bush, just tell the truth. How much money do you plan to sell me for these two dishes of yours."

Caiwei blinked and asked, "Shopkeeper Shen, how much does a plate of crystal jelly cost in Zuixianju?"

The shopkeeper thought for a moment, stretched out his hand and said, "Fifty yuan is enough!"

Caiwei smiled and said, "Does Shopkeeper Shen know the cost of this crystal jelly?"

Shopkeeper Shen said curiously: "I would like to hear the details."

Caiwei imitated the shopkeeper's approach, stretched out a hand and said slowly: "Wu Wen----"

Then he added: "Make twenty dishes!"

"What?"

Shopkeeper Shen was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide enough to fit an egg in. Even the county magistrate looked in disbelief.

If you make twenty plates with a capital of five cents, and buy fifty cents for each plate, isn't this a huge profit?

"That's right, it's Wu Wen."

Caiwei smiled and continued: "The cost of this plate of phoenix eggs is slightly higher. The net cost of a dish is thirty cents. However, the taste of the dish is excellent and it is unique to the Jin Kingdom, so it sells for eighty cents." One plate is more than enough. The shopkeeper knows how much profit these two dishes can bring to Zuixianju, so I hope the price of these two dishes will not be less than this amount. "

Two slender jade fingers shook gently in the air.

"Twenty taels?"

Shopkeeper Shen was overjoyed and slapped the table boldly: "Okay, deal! Waiter, go to the counter and get twenty taels of silver."

"Yes----" The waiter bowed, turned around and walked out.

"Wait!"

Caiwei stopped the waiter, opened her eyes and looked at the shopkeeper, and said with a smile: "Is the shopkeeper kidding me? These two dishes are unique to the Jin Kingdom. In addition to bringing a lot of money to Zuixianju, The income can also build up the reputation of Zuixianju. Does the shopkeeper think that a mere twenty taels can buy such a huge benefit? Or does the shopkeeper think that the little girl is a country girl who can be fooled easily? "

"Haha, what a sharp-tongued little girl."

The county magistrate laughed: "Brother Shen, it seems that the little girl's asking price is not twenty taels, but two hundred taels!"
