"The Sheng family started by making cakes, and the owners of the Sheng family were the two royal chefs. Because of their craftsmanship, they only passed on to their disciples, regardless of blood or men and women. The owner of the family is the one who has good craftsmanship. The surname Sheng is said to be a tribute to the ancestors. Generally, only the owner and his disciples are qualified to have it."
Xu Qing: "do you have to give up your name?"
Gu Mingyue: "it doesn't mean that. Surnames are only passed on to apprentices. To put it simply, they have two names. One is passed on to apprentices and the other to descendants. The meaning is different."
Xu Qing nodded to show that he understood.
"Sheng Wanqing has been here more than ten times, and she refuses her every time, but she still wants to come. If I didn't know the rule that once the Sheng family is a woman, they can only recruit their son-in-law, I would think she is interested in poming." Gu Mingyue rolled her eyes.
Xu Qing: "she came to seek cooperation, is to supply cakes to zuixianlou?"
Gu Mingyue: "yes, it's not only zuixianlou, but also the teahouse and Inn under the name of Yu family."
Xu Qing thought, "is it because of me that Yu Po Ming didn't agree?"
Gu Mingyue: "not all. Sheng's family is in the capital. They not only have a few imperial chefs, but also have extraordinary relations with some ministers in the court. They have entered the court too deeply. The Yu family doesn't intend to cooperate with Sheng's family, and they don't want to be forced into it."
Xu Qing remembers that Yu Boming had planned to support the prince before, but he was trapped in the end. If it wasn't for the help of Changting, the Yu family would have made a big fall in the end. One mistake was enough. Yu Boming already hated the court disputes in the capital.
Thinking of something, Xu Qing said with a smile: "Sheng Wanqing can come over again and again, because she is determined by her own identity and background that the Yu family dare not not refuse to receive her, so she is so stubborn."
Presumably now Yu poming is also very upset, Xu Qing got up and said: "OK, I'll go to save a field and then go home. It's also time to talk about the follow-up cooperation with Yu poming."
When Xu Qing came out of the backyard, he saw Li Changting holding a little dragonfly in the sun in the garden. Father and daughter were very affectionate and tired.
Xu Qing goes over and tells Li Changting that she is going to talk to Yu Boming about something and come home later.
Then Xu Qing came to the front hall and saw Yu Boming drinking tea in the living room without expression. The woman opposite didn't know whether she was tired or angry. Her face was tired and ugly.
Seeing Xu Qing coming in, Yu Po Ming stood up and said, "did you come to me?"
Xu Qing: "well, I'm here to talk with you about future cooperation."
With that, Xu Qing turned his head and looked at the woman beside him. "This is the boss of yupinzhai. It's the first time I've seen a real person, but I've heard your name several times."
"Who are you?"
Like her identity, Sheng Wanqing looks like a strong woman. She has sharp eyebrows, deep facial features, indistinguishable male and female. She has the courage and beauty of ambiguous gender. She is definitely a beauty with a unique style.
Different from Xu Qing, a delicate and simple beauty, the difference between them is probably like the vertical and Horizontal Wilderness in the north and the small bridge and flowing water in the south.
"I'm the boss of qingtingfang. My name is Xu Qing. Nice to meet you."
"Qingting square?" Sheng Wanqing's eyes flashed, and she couldn't help looking at Xu Qing seriously.
Xu Qing has heard the name of yupinzhai many times. Sheng Wanqing has been curious about the owner of qingtingfang for a long time. It is said that the cakes in qingtingfang are the most delicious food in the world, and even yupinzhai is inferior. For this, Sheng Wanqing is very unconvinced.
What makes her even more depressed is that the boss of qingtingfang has cooperated with zuixianlou for a long time. The reason why Yu Boming is reluctant to agree to her is that he wants more qingtingfang cakes than her yupinzhai.
"It's said that your cakes are very popular, but I've been here for a long time. I don't know where the shop in qingtingfang is." Sheng Wan's face is full of doubts.
Xu Qing: "it's being renovated, but it hasn't opened yet. When it opens, you'll know if it's delicious."
Sheng Wanqing: "it hasn't opened yet. I don't know where the shop in qingtingfang is?"
Xu Qing: "just Er... " She looked at Yu Po Ming, "what's the name of my street?"
Yu Po Ming: "opposite Qingting square is Lianhu, and that street is called Lianhu street."
Xu Qing nodded: "yes, Lianhu street."
Sheng Wanqing
Yu Boming: "Miss Sheng, I have already decided to order cakes from qingtingfang. I can only say sorry for your kindness."
Sheng Wanqing: "Master Yu, don't make a decision so quickly. How can you be so sure that the cakes in qingtingfang must sell as well as our yupinzhai? I'm very unconvinced when Master Yu says that. Why don't I compete with boss Xu, who wins and who cooperates with you?"
Xu Qing raised his eyebrows and looked at Yu poming: "if I lose, will you cooperate with yupinzhai?"
Yu Po Ming certainly shook his head: "No."
Xu Qing: "what's the meaning of this contest?"
Sheng Wanqing's face suddenly became a little ugly, "does boss Xu dare not fight?"
Xu Qing: "how to motivate? It's no use to me. I know that your Sheng family is a strong one, and they are used to competing. But I really don't have the time. I'm very busy. The old people and children in my family are waiting for me to go home and cook. Yu Po Ming, please come to my place when you are free this afternoon. "Yu Po Ming nodded: "good."
"See you later." Xu Qing waved and left happily.
Sheng Wanqing spent most of her time admiring the blind. She thought that she would win the Yu family's business. Now all her plans are in vain. This is the first time that she wanted to do something but failed to do it!
In the morning, Li Zhu went outside to recruit a few workers to come back. They were all temporarily arranged in the park, waiting for Xu Qing to pass the examination.
After lunch, Xu Qing took Ping'an and Li Zhu to see the workers. Li Zhuang's family also came to see who Xu Qing planned to leave.
Xu Qing's recruitment news has been hung up for a long time, because it's about the processing of food materials, and there are a lot of people who come to sign up. Li Zhu screened out a group of people, leaving eight, only one man, most of them women.
Those who can be left behind by Li Zhu, at least, have clean identity and background. They don't have too high requirements in terms of craftsmanship. They can learn first and then do it.
Xu Qing looked at them and said, "one by one, you have to tell the truth about the reasons and plans for coming here."
The first woman was a little uneasy and said, "when the natural disaster happened, my son died. Now my husband and I are left. It's hard for my husband to farm and support his family alone. I want to find a small job to subsidize the family. My knife work is very good, patient and meticulous."
Xu Qing nodded: "yes, next one."
