Chapter 105: How To Cooperate
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Wasn’t this neighbor appearing in front of his sister too often recently?
After Xiaoxiao arrived in the county, she went straight to the Ruyi Clothing Shop. Ning Dalang was puzzled. “Aren’t we going to look for Shopkeeper Xu?”
Xiaoxiao waved her hand and smiled mysteriously. “He’ll be even happier if 1 call him to the Ruyi Clothing Shop to try his food.”
As expected, Shopkeeper Xu was smiling like a flower when he came. He even sensibly took the initiative to bring the good tea leaves he had just obtained.
Shopkeeper Liu glanced at him and sniffed the fragrance of the tea in the jar. She raised her eyebrows and asked someone to make it. She was a woman who knew how to enjoy herself. Shopkeeper Xu was a straightforward man. She could think that it was Xiaoxiao who gave him the tea leaves that suit her taste. Otherwise, he would only give her golden hairpins and golden bracelets.
In order to let the two of them have a deeper impression of what she had brought today, Xiaoxiao specially showed them the prawn dumplings that had yet to be steamed in the pot. Seeing that the two of them did not take it seriously, she was even happier. She went to the kitchen happily.
“This is a Ruyi bun.” When Xiaoxiao served the first snack, Shopkeeper Xu only cared about his beauty and scalded himself. Then, he praised it repeatedly, saying that this little bun was more delicious than ordinary buns. The filling was beautiful and had a unique fresh fragrance. Its appearance looked exquisite and customers would definitely like it.
After eating two in a row, he kept praising Xiaoxiao. “How did you think of such interesting and delicious food?”
Xiaoxiao’s expression was calm and composed. She opened the steamer of the prawn dumplings very calmly. “Crystal prawn dumplings.”
The two of them widened their eyes as if they were villagers entering the Imperial Capital for the first time. “W-What is this?”
Xiaoxiao crossed her arms. “The snacks I showed you just now.”
Shopkeeper Liu had long known that this girl had many ideas, but he did not expect her to make such sparkling and translucent snacks. To put it boldly, with such a taste, it would be outstanding even if it was sent to the Imperial Palace. He poked it with his chopsticks. Although the skin was thin, it was tough. There was a faint pink color under the translucent appearance. It was a whole bent prawn. Looking at it carefully, there were other colors. How was this food? It was simply a work of art.
“But it wasn’t like this just now!”
Xiaoxiao glanced at Shopkeeper Xu, who was saying this, and was very satisfied with the disbelief and shock on his face. She even thoughtfully handed over a pair of chopsticks and a small plate of vinegar.
She found the smallest vinegar plate in the small kitchen. Now, she placed the vinegar plate in the small bamboo basket her father had made. It looked even more elegant with the big steamer in the middle. The more Shopkeeper Liu looked at it, the more he liked it. He almost couldn’t bear to eat it.
However, he only almost barely couldn’t. Whether it was the freshly made crystal prawn dumplings and Ruyi buns, or the vinegar plate that Xiaoxiao had specially made, everyone drooled over them.
Even a self-disciplined person like Shopkeeper Liu could not help but eat three Ruyi buns and four crystal prawn dumplings. The rest were wrapped up by Shopkeeper Xu. Just as he finished swallowing, he could not wait to borrow pen and paper from Shopkeeper Liu. “Miss Ning, you must make this deal with our Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant!”
He paced around the room. “That bastard Lei Wanjun even provoked me when he first got the recipe for sour bamboo shoots. He said that he wanted to organize a culinary competition. With these two dishes, let’s see if he still has the face to mention this again!”
Shopkeeper Liu also looked at the empty steamer with pity. “If not for the fact that I’m not in charge of this business, I would have bought it from you.”
Xiaoxiao teased, “Shopkeeper Xu bought it. Why are Sister Liu worried that you won’t be able to eat it?”
Xiaoxiao only became well-behaved after being pinched moderately. She obediently talked to Shopkeeper Xu about serious matters.. “It’s naturally fine to cooperate with the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant, but Shopkeeper Xu, how do you want to cooperate?”
