117 Relying on a Big Tree to Enjoy the Coolness
“Three… three hundred taels?” Ji Zhao was shocked!
The other members of the Shen family were also stunned!
“That’s right, it’s three hundred taels!” Second Manager You nodded firmly. “At Old Madam Ma’s birthday banquet, the value of this roasted whole lamb is definitely more than three hundred taels! Moreover, just the signboard of Hongxing Restaurant alone is more than three hundred taels.”
“Second Brother You, I don’t understand.” Ji Zhao shook his head silently. “Actually, roasting a whole lamb isn’t difficult. Moreover, you’re asking people to send the ingredients, grill, and charcoal over, so I won’t accept these three hundred taels of silver.”
Ji Zhao was a very principled person. Moreover, she would not accept a reward if she did not do anything.
“Just the two lambs you sent over are already worth a lot. If I still accept this reward, then I’ll be too… too inhumane, right?”
“Hahaha!” Second Manager You had already expected Ji Zhao to reject him. “Ah Tao, this three hundred taels isn’t just a reward for roasting a whole lamb. It’s also a transaction. What the head shopkeeper means is that you have to teach the chef of the restaurant to make a few northwestern dishes. It’s best to use mutton as the main ingredient.”
“Second Brother You, I’m willing to teach the restaurant’s chef to cook northwestern dishes, but I don’t want the 300 taels of silver.” Ji Zhao thought for a moment and quickly had an idea. “I heard that a small shop on the left of Hongxing Restaurant is also the restaurant’s business?”
“Are you referring to the braised food window that the restaurant used to have?”
“Yes!” Ji Zhao nodded hurriedly. “I want to take over the small shop in the restaurant. I wonder if Second Shopkeeper You can agree?”
“Ah Tao, that shop isn’t big. What do you want to do?”
“I want to sell fried food,” Ji Zhao explained with a calm smile. “Fried food is a street snack. The shop area required doesn’t need to be too large. Moreover, fried food doesn’t conflict with the main business of the restaurant. More importantly, I will have more time to stay in the restaurant and exchange my cooking experience with the chefs.”
Ji Zhao originally wanted to rent a small shop in the county and sell stinky tofu first before thinking of a way to expand her business.
However, she thought about it carefully just now. If she wanted to completely establish herself in the county city, then relying on the living signboard of the Hongxing Restaurant seemed to be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort!
“Ah Tao, if you have three hundred taels, you can totally buy a suitable shop in the county city, right?” Second Manager You was quite puzzled by her thoughts.
“If I really do that, I’m afraid I’ll lose Second Brother You as a friend, right?” Ji Zhao smiled and asked instead of answering.
Hahaha—
This time, the smile on Second Shopkeeper You’s face became even brighter!
“Besides, it’s nice to have a big tree behind you, isn’t it?”
“Ah Tao, you’re smarter than I thought!” Second Manager You praised from the bottom of his heart. “I’ll discuss the shop with the head manager.”
“Then I’ll use this tea as wine. Thank you, Second Brother You.” Ji Zhao raised her cup and smiled.
In addition to the delicious roasted whole lamb, Ji Zhao also stewed mutton soup.
In the end, Second Manager You really couldn’t eat anymore.
“Every time I taste Ah Tao’s food, I wish I had two more stomachs.”
“It’s not advisable to overeat,” Ji Zhao advised with a smile. “Shen Yao, why don’t you take a walk with Second Manager You in the courtyard to digest the food?”
Ji Zhao was worried that if Second Shopkeeper You took the carriage back now, he might vomit.
