The Imperial Concubine Chef

However, Bighead was still very willing to increase the price. "There's also this method of roasting the snake meat. If young lady is also willing, I'll add another four hundred taels."

Even though Su Xinyu had seen the world and had talked about business with many people, she had never seen anyone increase the price as freely as she liked. "But after being shocked for a moment, she understood Wen Ling's intention. Young Master Wen, you can just say that this is your reward for me. "

Shangguan Lin laughed, "No, no, no. The lives of my three followers are not something that can be bought with five hundred taels of silver. I was sincere in my business with the girl. I'm confident that I can make it back. "

This honey is so self-confident that it has no power to retort. Su Xinyu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Although I am very happy to have the silver, but if it is not in return, I will not feel at ease to take it. Furthermore, five hundred silver, does Young Master Wen think that I can take it back? With such a large group, it would probably be hard for them to hide even if they wanted to, right? "

Xiao Tong, who was at the side, was amused. "Lady Xinyu, my master in command naturally wants to give you a silver bill."

"…" Su Xinyu felt that she had lost a lot of face. Anyway... I don't have anywhere to spend it. " That was the truth. Actually, she had a place to hide the five hundred taels of silver, but she didn't think she should have taken that much. She did not have any high-profile and righteous thoughts, she just felt that Young Master Wen suddenly appearing here and saving her, and then suddenly telling her that she was going to make a deal with him for five hundred silver taels, was not really appropriate. The key was that she had too much silver, so she couldn't go home without being discovered. Or maybe his mother and Seventh Grandmother had asked about his origins and he could be considered to have broken his promise. Or when the Young Master Wen saw that there were no movements at home, he became suspicious. After all, this kind of rich family who survived the battle for the throne definitely had their suspicions.

Shangguan Lin had thought that this little girl would refuse. After all, to an ordinary person, five hundred silver was a huge sum of money that could last them a lifetime. However, Su Xinyu's rejection, made him feel that this young lady did not reject her because she felt that there was too much money. This caused him to feel slightly disappointed and helpless. Actually, girls could be exchanged for other things, like shops, farms, fields? "It's all possible."

Su Xinyu still shook her head: "Let's put it this way Young Master Wen. It's not that I don't want money. I think there's too much money. Of course, the lives of the four of you are priceless. The reason I said I wanted to pay you back was because of the heart of a doctor. After all, I learned medicine from my step grandfather. I gave my step grandfather the antidote, and also gave you some food to eat. If you really want to thank me for the consultation fee, one hundred silver is already very, very expensive. There really was no need to exaggerate so much. I would be very upset. "

It was rare for someone to speak so frankly. Shangguan Lin was actually feeling very comfortable in his heart. I understand now that the lady is straightforward. However, the medical fee was the medical fee, the payment was the repayment, and the business was the business. This humble one has always been the one to do things, one to two to do things, not to be confused. So be it. Since the girl said one hundred taels, then one hundred taels. Here's a note for a hundred taels of silver, just take it with you. As for the repayment, four of our lives in exchange for the life of a lady, as long as it does not involve royal law, I will agree to it. However, I am also very serious about this business. The girl thinks that the price is too high, so she can give you a price that you think is suitable. I bought the prescription for the girl with sincerity. " With that, he handed the silver notes over.

Su Xinyu listened till the end and was depressed in her heart. She had clearly made herself quite clear. The intention to reject was clear. Why did a few words from him send herself back home? She even made it impossible for him to refute her. It was only a request of four to five lives, and although there might be a problem with her calculations, it was still not bad. Maybe she could use them to escape the Zhou Family. As for the 100 taels of silver, she accepted it. After all, a hundred taels of silver could make her do a lot of things in the future. What's more, there was the money for the cantaloupe and snake meat.

Su Xinyu sighed. Well, I can't beat you. But I can give you the recipe for the cantaloupe for free. Then I'll sell you fifty-two servings of grilled snake meat and another snack made from a sweet potato. Is this feasible? "

Shangguan Lin snickered in his heart. Naturally. Then do as the girl says. "However, do you want these fifty silver taels to be silver notes or to be silver notes?"

"The smallest amount of silver notes is worth a lot?" Su Xinyu had calculated before that the weight here was 10 taels of silver per catty, so 50 taels of silver was equal to 5 Jin of silver. Even if she was crazy, she would not bring him home.

Shangguan Lin was also not very clear about this matter. Therefore, Xiao Tong quickly said: "The smallest face is worth five liang, but every time I have to pay you a silver service fee, so very few people use it."

Su Xinyu frowned: "Alright. Then ten taels of silver would do. But can you put it with Four Seas Grocery Shop? I'll get it then. I'm sure you don't have such a small face right now. But you haven't tried my grilled snake. "What if it doesn't taste good?"

Shangguan Lin laughed: "I am very confident in Lady Xinyu's culinary skills."

Of course Su Xinyu couldn't destroy her own brand. Even though it was hard to make her taste bad. However, it was difficult for a woman to have a picnic, and there was no usable seasoning at hand. It was also difficult for her to make delicious food. Oil and honey water, in particular, were essential. Shangguan Lin and the others could not possibly walk around the forest with these things. Therefore, Su Xinyu could only make a simple version this time. Using hawthorn juice in place of syrup, she actually brought salt with her. Thus, this newly developed hawthorn roasted snake meat was formed.

Although it didn't look like much, the taste was excellent. Although the taste of the hawthorn was sour, it contained quite a bit of sugar. The mashed fruit mud not only increased the taste of the snake meat, but also made it softer and more tender. Furthermore, the sweet taste of their hawthorn trees was very obvious. Su Xinyu only used a few fruits to choose the taste, after all, they were not eating sour and sweet barbecue.

Shangguan Lin had indeed said that he would be at ease with Su Xinyu's cooking skills. But he never thought that under the situation where there was only salt, Su Xinyu would be able to roast the snake meat into such a unique and delicious dish with the two already prepared ingredients. Lady Xinyu's cooking skills were indeed outstanding. It's settled then. "

Ernil bit the snake meat, and did not forget to ask, "Hmm? Xinyu, what did you all say? "

Su Xinyu helplessly told him: "Young Master Wen said that if they catch a snake in the future, they will do the same as me. Let me teach them. "

Ernil replied with an "Oh", completely uninterested in this. I just need to follow you and I'll have something to eat. I won't learn, I can't. "

Su Xinyu did not know whether to laugh or cry. I'll grill some fish for you when I have time. We don't get to eat this snake meat very often. "

Ernil sighed in regret, "That's right. And oh. When my Third Brother reached the age where he wanted to get married, he spent even more on his family. Don't even talk about grilled fish and snake meat. There's a lot less meat. "

"Su Xinyu heartbroken took another piece of snake meat and gave it to Ernil." Then eat a few more mouthfuls. Snake meat was also very nutritious. You're still young, so you need to eat more. "

Although Ernil wanted to eat more, he still knew whose food this is. Thus, she raised her head and looked at Shangguan Lin.

Shangguan Lin did not mind Su Xinyu's generosity, and nodded instead: "Lady Xinyu is right. Kids need to eat more. Lady Xinyu, you should eat more as well. " Saying that, he personally handed a piece to Su Xinyu.

Su Xinyu did not decline and directly accepted it. Thank you, Young Master Wen. You guys should eat more. This snake meat is not tasty when it gets cold. However, this snake meat is very nutritious, so it's not good to eat too much. "

"Pfft!" Xiao Tong immediately laughed out at that moment.

Zheng Liang secretly looked at his back. "Be serious!"

Xiao Tong glared at him: What's there to be serious about? Eating was the most important thing in the current situation of food. Lady Xinyu, don't worry, we will recover from our injuries soon, and it is time for us to make amends. "

Su Xinyu shook her head. People who have just recovered from a severe illness should eat more light food. Otherwise, they would easily have indigestion and have a stomachache. "

This time, it was Shangguan Lin who laughed. Then he thought, "How long has it been since I last wanted to laugh out loud?" Perhaps what Master Hui Xin said was true, this little girl was really a lucky star that was born.

On this day, Su Xinyu made an agreement with the Ernil. Ernil was not stupid, she did not dare to say that she could roast snake meat and eat snake meat with an unfamiliar young master. Furthermore, Su Xinyu had almost been bitten by a snake and fell down the tree. In the future, they definitely couldn't come out alone. Wouldn't that mean there would be no more freedom and no more fun? Young Master Wen had said that they would often go hunting on the mountain. If they saw them there, they would definitely invite them to eat barbecue. This was what the Ernil hoped for the most.

Su Xinyu was also in a good mood. There was an extra 100 taels of silver in the space, and she was about to receive another 50 taels of silver. However, that was still not a small amount of wealth. If it was impossible, then she would give the money to the little girl's father, who had no other wife or daughter in mind. If she used it sparingly, then it would be enough for him to spend a year or so in the capital. If this was a normal family life, it would have taken years of spending money and money.

After returning home, Su Xinyu placed all the hawthorn she picked today on the stone table in the courtyard. Because she was not too late, Madam Liu had not come back from the farmlands yet. There was a tavern in the city today that had come to pull the cabbage, radishes and potatoes from the Madam Liu's land. This was Madam Liu's biggest profit at the end of the year, and it was not less than selling rice.

Madam Su saw that his daughter had returned, and picked so many hawthorn fruits, so he immediately went over. Is your shoulder sore? "

It would be a lie if he said he didn't feel bad. Su Xinyu nodded. Yes. There are so many fruits. I can pick them for a few days. "These hawthorn seeds can invigorate the stomach and eat, I learned how to make them from the step grandfather, so I wanted to pick more."

He knew that the little girl was saying that she would return to the mountain tomorrow, because it had always been like this; so of course the Madam Su did not try to stop her. Be careful. She didn't get hurt when she was with the Ernil today, right? "

"Not yet. He just ate a lot of hawthorn, screaming about the toothache. I already said that I won't let her eat so much, so I definitely won't listen to me. " This was not a lie. When they returned, the Ernil was greedy. The little girl always liked this sweet and sour stuff. Because there was too much of it, there was no burden in eating it, so he ate too much.

Madam Su smiled: "Kids just like to eat these sour and sweet things. However, no matter how delicious the food was, it couldn't be eaten more. Do you want to give this to your grandmother? "

Su Xinyu nodded: "Yes. I'll bring it in a little basket. When Ernil and I returned to the village, many people saw us. If we don't send them off, the Great auntie will definitely say so. "

"The moment the name Madam Wang was mentioned, Madam Su frowned. There's no need to care about what she says. We can do our own things well, and have no qualms more than anything else. "

Su Xinyu laughed. Slowly but surely, he believed that with the Madam Liu, Madam Soong and the Madam Ping, as well as the women of Madam Zhang, her mother would definitely be more independent!
