The younger son was left to the care of her eldest son and two daughters. Sister Chen went to the village and invited Wang Dashu's donkey cart, and Shen Jingli went to the town with several dishes and more than ten jin of tofu.
When he got to the town, Shen Jingli gave Wang Da, who was driving, five coppers. He asked him to wait for them at the gate of the town. Then he went with sister-in-law Chen to Yunhai restaurant, the biggest restaurant in the town.
Just after breakfast time, there were not many guests in Yunhai restaurant. Sister Chen led Shen Jingli to her mother's cousin, whose name was Wang Er Niu, who was in his early twenties. He was not very tall, and was somewhat dark. When she was working in the kitchen, she heard sister Chen come to him and thought that she was here to sell vegetables, so she came out quickly.
”Second cousin, we don't accept vegetables recently. Don't send them.” With that, he took a look at the empty hands of sister-in-law Chen and Shen Jingli standing beside her. He was a little confused, ”second cousin, are you not here to sell vegetables?”
Wang Erniu is sincere and clever. He is occasionally asked by the purchasing manager. He also takes the opportunity to recommend the dishes of his family. The restaurant is not short of the money. Seeing that the dishes are really good, he receives a batch from time to time.
”Yes or no.” Sister in law Chen took Wang Er Niu to the alley at the back door, whispered to him about Shen Jingli and told him all about the food they were going to sell.
After listening to sister-in-law Chen's words, Wang Er Niu turned his head and looked at Shen Jingli. He was puzzled and said, ”second cousin, it's not that I don't help you, but who is our shopkeeper? Where can we look up to the food in the countryside?”
Mrs. Chen was not happy when she heard this. She thought to herself, what's the matter with the food in the countryside? Why can't the rich and powerful people eat the food of rural people? Besides, Xiaoshen's cooking is really delicious. Don't let it be their loss.
However, she also knew her cousin's worry and quietly gave him five coppers and said, ”you can help us to say that we are here to sell tofu. No matter whether it is successful or not, you will not lose.”
As soon as he heard that it was a bean curd seller, Wang Er Niu's clever head immediately turned. One of the two pieces of tofu sold by Shen Jingli a few days ago was bought by Yunhai restaurant. After the chefs tasted it, they all thought it was a good food material. The most important thing was that it was a new food material. If we could seize it first, it would be a big income.
He quickly put the copper back to sister-in-law Chen, ”OK, I'll go and ask the shopkeeper for you.”
