Chapter 42: First Looking For Ancestors, Then Looking For The Government
The people in line looked at Wen Jiafu with contempt.
The look in their eyes really...makes people feel embarrassed.
Wen Jiafu runs one of the best restaurants in the town, and has always been envied by people, how can he stand it?! Because of his thin skin that he couldn't help but blush: "Boss Tang, what does it matter to you? Is our brother's affection measured in silver?"
With an attitude of taking it for granted, Wen Yu said: "My father is the eldest brother, as the so-called eldest brother, he is like a father! It is reasonable that the recipe be given to my father directly! My father has the right to inherit all of Wen Family's things!
Now my father spends a couple taels of silver to buy this dish, isn’t it just thinking about brotherhood? Hurry up, and hand over the recipe! My father is dignified, don't be shameless! "
Hearing this, Wen Jiafu felt that his daughter was right: "Old Fourth, this was originally the recipe of our Wen family. I only offered a couple taels of silver to take care of my brother. I'm just looking for an excuse to give you silver, don't you understand this? Otherwise, I can just take it."
Wen Jiarui said with a faint expression: "Thank you for your kindness, Eldest Brother, but the recipe has already been sold, so I cannot give it to you."
Wen Jiafu’s face changed drastically: "What, how can you sell the Wen Family's recipe?! Who did you sell it to? Is it this person? Quickly return the silver to him! Don’t sell it!"
In front of this huge loss of benefits, he forgot about showing the image of a caring brother, and unconsciously put on the air of an elder, and started ordering people around.
He himself had caught a lot of these snails in Shihe River in the past, but had forgotten all about it. Now, Fourth set up a stall, and a bowl was sold for two copper coins, so he could make five or six hundred copper coins a day. If he sold it in the restaurant, one bowl could be sold for at least ten copper coins. A couple taels of silver can be earned back in one or two days!
Wen Yu was equally stern: "This is the recipe of the Wen family, what qualifications do you have to sell it? My father is the future head of the Wen family, and he is the one who will inherit everything."
Wen Nuan almost laughed, these two people are mentally sick!
It is unwise to argue with someone with a sick brain, so Wen Nuan said: "Since you think the recipe belongs to the Wen family, then you can ask the ancestors of the Wen family for it! No need to spend money, nor do you have to give up your dignity. Dad, let's go, don't delay Uncle's inheritance of the secret recipe."
Wen Nuan quickly handed two packs of snails to the last two people, collected four copper coins, and then began to pack things.
Wen Yu didn't react for a while: "Father, aren't the ancestors dead? How can we ask them for it?"
"Puff!"
The two guests who were about to leave after receiving their bowls of snails couldn't help but laugh.
Tang Bingquan shook his head
This is cursing him! Wen Jiafu's expression was extremely ugly: "Sister Nuan, what do you mean by that?"
Wen Yu also reacted at this time, and scolded angrily: "Wen Nuan, how can you curse my father to death? Actually dare to disrespect my father! This is rebellious!"
With an innocent face, Wen Nuan said: "Is it? But I'm telling the truth! And I'm always polite when we face each other. Think about which sentence was disrespectful?"
Wen Yu cannot stand Wen Nuan's innocent face! "You tell my father to go ask the ancestors for the recipe! Aren't you cursing him to die?! Isn't this the crime of treason?"
Wen Nuan nodded: "Cursing him to die, you said this, I didn't say it! You are the one who is rebellious! Our grandfather is not a cook, and he doesn't even enter the kitchen. You say the recipe is Wen Family's recipe. It can only be that one of Wen Family's ancestors was a chef. Am I wrong to say go find the ancestors?"
Wen Yu is about to be killed off by Wen Nuan's innocent expression!
"Bitch, I meant your recipe is the recipe of Wen Family. It should be inherited by my father!"
Wen Nuan turned away and started cleaning up faster: "Then you can ask the government for it!"
Wen Yu looked bewildered: "Why ask the government for it?"
First looking for ancestors, then looking for the government?
What does she mean?!
Speaking like this is bullying!
"Go eat more pig brains!" After grasping the handle of the cart, Wen Nuan watched Wen Jiarui cleaned up the ground and said: "Father, let's go! We have to go and teach the chef at Grandpa Tang's restaurant how to fry snails! It's getting late!"
"Okay. Boss Tang, let's go!" Wen Jiarui had already cleaned up the rubbish on the ground while they were talking, and he pushed the cart and left.
Tang Bingquan was originally worried that the recipe would be snapped up, but he was relieved at this moment.
He walked up to Wen Jiafu, patted him on the shoulder, and smiled: "Boss Wen really cares about compassion and righteousness. He takes care of his brothers by purchasing recipes for a couple teals of silver! Haha, I don't have such a good brother. Without a chef in my family, I can't go find my ancestors. I spent fifty taels of silver to buy this recipe! It hurts! Haha, fifty taels against one tael, your brotherhood is really valuable! Haha..."
Tang Bingquan laughed and left, murmuring loudly as he walked: “Take out a couple teals of silver and show a benevolent face. If I have this kind of brother, I will just cut off the relationship! This kind of big brother is a fart!”
……
Wen Jiafu glowered, his eyes widened and turned red, and he didn't know if he was angry or ashamed.
Wen Yu just wanted to understand what it means to ask the government for it. Does this mean that if they want a recipe, they should report to the yamen to see if the officials will award the recipe to them?!
Why is that plague star bullying people so much?!
And what does it mean that she let herself eat pig brains?
The pig is so stupid! She doesn't eat it!
Wen Yu watched them leave like this, and stomped her feet angrily: "Father, do we just let them go like this? Don't you want the recipe?"
"Yes, why not?! Let's go! Go back and find your grandmother!" Wen Jiafu was so angry that his heart ached, and he walked as if on wings.
This is his good brother!
Knowing that he opened a restaurant, he deliberately sold the recipe to that dead opponent and united with outsiders to deal with him.
Is there still an elder brother in his eyes?
Humph, just wait!
That plague star better not get sick, otherwise he won't give a single copper coin when they come begging at his door.
Wen Yu’s eyes lit up, and she hurriedly followed: "Yes, find Grandma, Grandma must have a way to get the recipe, so we can save even a couple taels of silver."
The two left quickly.
——
Ruyi Restaurant...
Although Tang Bingquan prepared some snails, they could not be used because they were not soaked in water to spit out the mud.
So under Wen Nuan's dictation, Wen Jiarui wrote the recipe down with a brush.
After, Wen Nuan also told him how to make snail noodles and farmer's cold pot with snails, sour bamboo shoots, and fish heads.
There is no loss, no harm, people buy a recipe for fifty taels of silver, they should really take care of them!
Tang Bingquan saw Wen Jiarui’s good handwriting, vigorous and powerful, like dragons and snakes following one's brush, and couldn’t help but praise: “I didn’t expect Brother Wen to write with such a good handwriting.”
Tang Bingquan looked at the calligraphy. He always felt that Wen Jiarui was someone that is a bit familiar, but he had forgotten who he was.
Wen Jiarui smiled and did not speak.
Tang Bingquan invited the two of them to eat in the restaurant. Wen Nuan refused, saying she had to rush back to cook.
Finally, Wen Nuan and Wen Jiarui, at Tang Bingquan’s initiative, left with two big pig trotters and ten jin of live fish.
After the two left, Tang Bingquan looked at the three recipes, and felt that such a sincere and grateful brother like Wen Jiafu, who owned the opposing restaurant, had calculated badly. He was too ignorant and too arrogant!
Tang Bingquan thought of Wen Nuan again, that little girl who had a sweet and polite mouth while selling things. He did not expect her to be so venomous! Those light and fluttering words spoken with a smile, every sentence stirred up anger in others, but there was no coarse language.
She scolded people while maintaining a smiling and polite demeanor, and there was no wrong place to catch her in the eloquence of her words.
It's like this when she is so young, what will it be like she has grown up?
yamen: government office, serves as police station and courthouse
walked as if on wings: move speedily
like dragons and snakes following one's brush: vigorous calligraphy
