With space in hand, who dares to mess with the villain's stepmother?

Chapter 5 005. 40% profit

Gu Xiaoxiao steadied her beating heart, turned her head away from looking at him, and said to the kids: "Don't be stunned, eat quickly. Remember, this is earned through your hard work. You're welcome."

!”

The boys who had been waiting for Gu Xiaoxiao to say something immediately started eating the meat.

They had never eaten such delicious food. They were so moved that they wanted to cry, especially Erbao, who slaughtered this with his own hands!

Of course, the kids still remembered Gu Xiaoxiao's words and didn't eat too much. They stopped eating when they were almost full. It wasn't that they were obedient, but mainly because they were afraid that Gu Xiaoxiao would hit them again if they disobeyed.

But Si Bao didn't have this worry. He really couldn't eat anymore, so he touched his round belly and burped.

Then he took another empty bowl and filled it with a bowl of chicken, scooped out a few spoonfuls of chicken soup and gently put it aside.

Just as Gu Xiaoxiao finished feeding Zhou Zeyun chicken soup, he came to the dinner table and saw what Xiao Sibao was doing. Sibao also turned around and saw his stepmother standing behind him. He narrowed his eyes and said sweetly: "Mom! Eat meat.

!”

Gu Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded, sitting on the stool next to Si Bao. The stool was too small for her body shape and she couldn't sit still, but she still insisted on sitting and held up Si Baosheng's cup.

Start eating the bowl of chicken.

Sibaosheng had a lot of chicken, and she felt a little full after finishing this bowl, so she took the remaining chicken to the kitchen and kept it for everyone to eat in the evening.

The four boys still carried their own small bowls and washed them as before. Dabao also washed Gu Xiaoxiao's and Zhou Zeyun's dishes and chopsticks together, and Zhou Zeyun still shouted and warned weakly.

This smoky life is pretty good! Gu Xiaoxiao thought.

In the afternoon, Gu Xiaoxiao walked to the town. The town was not too far from the village, and it only took an hour to walk.

When Gu Xiaoxiao arrived, he wanted to find a restaurant first and sell the wild boar.

But suddenly she saw two familiar faces, one of them was Wu Huilan, and the other she had seen in the original owner's memory was Zhou Zeyun's eldest brother, Zhou's eldest son, and Wu Huilan's husband-in-law, Zhou Weijie.

I heard that the names of Zhou Weijie and Zhou Zeyun were given by the old scholar in the village. Originally, the two elders wanted to give their eldest son a nicer name, hoping that he would be inspired by the scholar's scholarly spirit so that he could be successful in the future. Later, the scholar saw them and followed him.

After Zhou Zeyun went there, he gave Zhou Zeyun a name as a gift without taking any money. I don’t know why. Maybe he couldn’t stand the Zhou family’s favoritism!

But now Zhou Weijie is two years older than Zhou Zeyun, much stronger, and has no future. He spends all his time at home gnawing at his old age, without learning or skills.

The land in the Zhou family was cultivated by the second elder. After Zhou Zeyun came back from abroad, it was his business. Now that Zhou Zeyun can't get out of bed, and after the family was kicked out, farming has become the second elder's business again.

No matter what, Zhou Weijie just refuses to do it, and the two elders are used to it. It seems that some charlatan said that Zhou Weijie will have great luck in the future and must not do menial work, otherwise he will lose his luck!

Humph! Those two old fools actually believed it too!

But speaking of it, the two elders of the Zhou family are really partial and treat their two sons completely differently!

At this time, Zhou Weijie and Wu Huilan had just come out of the hospital. One of Wu Huilan's fingers was wrapped into a ball. Zhou Weijie kept scolding Wu Huilan for spending money.

Gu Xiaoxiao looked at it and sneered inwardly. She knew that Wu Huilan's finger was caused by her, so she didn't use much force, just cracked it a little.

The couple didn't see her and hurriedly walked back. She looked at their backs coldly in the dark. I'm afraid the second elders of the Zhou family didn't know what happened to Wu Huilan's hand, so they were in such a hurry to go back and not let them

Discover.

But speaking of which, Zhou Weijie and Zhou Zeyun are not very similar, but there are children with that kind of genetic mutation. Thanks to her husband's genetic mutation, if it were based on the appearance of the Zhou family, she would have run away long ago!

The interlude left, and Gu Xiaoxiao followed the flow of people to the busiest street. She still had her things to do!

In addition to the taste of the food, the source of customers is also the main factor in the restaurant business, so they are usually opened in the most prosperous places in the center. Otherwise, even if the food is delicious, people will stay far away and will not be willing to move over time, except for the particularly delicious ones.

For example, any food from Gu Xiaoxiao's world is a big deal here. Those ingenious tricks in the apocalypse can "bomb" the taste buds of people here casually.

Thinking of this, Gu Xiaoxiao had an idea to make money. Then he walked non-stop towards a very elegantly decorated restaurant. There were three golden characters on the plaque at the door - Shiwei Xuan. This was also the only restaurant in the town.

A huge restaurant!

As soon as he entered the door, the shopkeeper Wang at the counter raised his head with a standard workplace smile when he heard the sound. Gu Xiaoxiao's expression was indifferent, but he secretly complained in his heart: There are really weird circles in the workplace no matter where you are.

No matter how reluctant you are in your heart, you have to maintain the expression "Customers are your parents" on the outside. If you want to live a good life, you must manage your interpersonal relationships well. This is why people who flatter you always do better than those who work conscientiously!

Shopkeeper Wang was preparing a passionate speech. When he saw a woman with a broad waist and a big waist coming in, and she was not dressed like a wealthy person, her expression changed slightly, but she didn't say much.

After all, in their small town, most people from the surrounding villages come here to buy, and there are also some people who occasionally come in for a simple meal. There are only one or two families in their town who are truly wealthy, so when they see Gu Xiaoxiao like this

It’s not surprising either.

Shopkeeper Wang came up to him with a smile and asked Gu Xiaoxiao: "Is this lady here to dine? Alone?"

Gu Xiaoxiao secretly observed the shopkeeper and the environment of the restaurant. She found that the shopkeeper didn't show any dislike, at least on the surface he didn't look down on others, and the environment of the restaurant was okay, and they were running the restaurant seriously. It was okay, she was very satisfied.

If we successfully cooperate in the future, there won’t be any boring incidents. Not bad!

She also straightened her attitude and said politely: "Shopkeeper, I'm not here to eat, I want to make a deal with you!"

Shopkeeper Wang was a little surprised and couldn't help but look at the woman in front of him. Gu Xiaoxiao also acted particularly calmly under his scrutiny, which made shopkeeper Wang, who was originally skeptical, a little undecided. After a moment, he asked softly:

"What deal do you want to do, madam?"

Gu Xiaoxiao smiled slightly when he heard this and said: "First of all, I wonder if the shopkeeper can accept the wild boar?" No matter whether her later ideas are successful or not, she will sell the wild boar first and feel comfortable with some money in her hand.

Shopkeeper Wang was stunned for a moment and replied: "Is it a whole piece? I will accept it, but it still needs to be inspected first."

Gu Xiaoxiao nodded, asked the shopkeeper to wait, and turned around to leave, leaving shopkeeper Wang alone in embarrassment. Just when he was debating whether to continue waiting, he saw Gu Xiaoxiao coming back with a whole adult wild boar in one hand.

The point is that it looks effortless at all.

Shopkeeper Wang was shocked. Although this lady was a bit... strong, she was an adult wild boar! Even a strong man would have to struggle to carry it on his back. As a result, this lady could only carry it with one hand.

After getting up, you can still walk over. How strong is your strength? You can't afford to offend!

The shopkeeper was thankful that his attitude was okay, as if he had escaped a disaster.

The wild boar hit the ground hard and made a muffled sound. Gu Xiaoxiao clapped his hands alternately and said with a calm expression: "Let's inspect the goods!"

She had just taken this wild boar out of the space as a reason to go out. It looked the same as when she put it in. It was even dripping with blood and the meat was fresh. She secretly vowed to hunt one next time and eat it herself!

As for Shopkeeper Wang, he recovered from his daze and stepped forward to inspect it carefully. He was also shocked by the freshness of the meat.

You must know that in ancient times, carriages and horses were slow. When they were hunted from the mountains and brought down again, the blood of many animals had dried up, and some of the meat had even deteriorated. This was the first time he saw such a fresh wild boar, so he was even more afraid to do so.

You underestimated the lady in front of you!

The market price of wild boars is much more expensive than ordinary pigs. After all, wild boars are ferocious and not easy to hunt, especially when Gu Xiaoxiao brought a whole one.

He did the math in his mind, without any ink, and said the number happily, "One price, three taels of silver, how about it?"

Gu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, unabashedly surprised. She also knew how difficult it was to hunt wild boars here. She thought she could sell them for a lot of money, but she didn't expect the shopkeeper to give such a high price so happily.

She squinted her eyes slightly and took a closer look at the middle-aged man who was still smiling in front of her.

Shopkeeper Wang didn't shy away from it. He did give the price a bit too high on purpose. He thought he was a good judge of people after being the shopkeeper for so many years. He could tell that this lady was quite capable. She would be easier to talk to after giving her face. Regardless of anything else, she just

Judging from the fresh meat this lady brought, it was worth the price he paid. If this lady hunts anything again and comes to him to sell it, then the extra he gave today will not be a loss!

The quality of food in a restaurant must be checked at all levels. Otherwise, no matter how much money you make, if a customer eats it, it will be all lost. So you can see how precious a fresh ingredient is to them!

Seeing that the shopkeeper was so magnanimous, Gu Xiaoxiao felt satisfied. He took the three taels of silver from the shopkeeper without hesitation and put it into his sleeve. In fact, it was stored in the space in an instant.

Shopkeeper Wang also expressed his thoughts at this time, "This lady, my surname is Wang, is the shopkeeper of this restaurant. I also hope that if I hunt anything in the future, I can bring it to me, and the money will be fixed."

There’s just a lot more outside!”

Gu Xiaoxiao lowered his head and smiled, nodded lightly, and then said: "Shopkeeper Wang, I have one more thing to do. It's still a deal!" After getting the money, it was time to get down to business.

Shopkeeper Wang was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and said happily: "I wonder if you have any other deals, madam?" The previous deal was very beneficial to their restaurant, so after hearing Gu Xiaoxiao's words, he was very worried about what was going to happen next.

Things are more exciting.

But Gu Xiaoxiao glanced at the few people dining around. Although it was not meal time, there were many small tea stalls where many people were eating at this time. Then he said slowly, "Shopkeeper Wang,

It seems like your food tastes average..."

Shopkeeper Wang next to him obviously didn't expect Gu Xiaoxiao to be so sharp, and poked his sore spot directly, looking a little embarrassed.

His chef was transferred from Zhoucheng, but the taste was really average, but there was nothing he could do about it. He was brought over from the owner, so he didn't dare to change, otherwise he, the shopkeeper, would have done his best.

…

Seeing Shopkeeper Wang's expression, Gu Xiaoxiao guessed that there might be something else going on, but that was none of her business. What she had to do now was to facilitate the deal!

Or he said slowly: "What if I said that the dishes I cook can bring back all the customers you have lost? And there will definitely be many more customers!"

"You mean, you want to come to our place to be a cook?" Shopkeeper Wang frowned, he couldn't make the decision in this matter!

"No!" Gu Xiaoxiao didn't let the shopkeeper think too much, and said: "I don't have that much time. I want to become a shareholder with the recipe of my dish. I can teach your chef how to cook. Every time I teach you a dish, your store will benefit from it."

How about giving me 40% of the income from my dishes?"

Shopkeeper Wang was even more shocked when he heard this. This is really a lion's mouth, and it will directly cost 40% profit!

Not to mention how good this lady was at cooking, she could get 40% of the profit from their only big restaurant in town just by teaching one dish. He really didn't know whether to say she was too brave!

Gu Xiaoxiao saw that he was no longer as cheerful as when he bought pigs before, so she didn't rush him. After all, this matter was quite big. She also knew that shopkeeper Wang couldn't be the master. The reason why she mentioned it to him was because she wanted him to give her to her.

She demanded that it be reported to the person who can really make the decision, and she believed that as long as they had tasted her craftsmanship, this request was not too much at all. After all, she could make them hundreds or thousands of times more than the 40% profit.

And what she wants is only the 40% profit that this "Shiwei Xuan" gets from her dishes. Firstly, she doesn't want the profits from other dishes, and secondly, she doesn't want the profits from their other stores. This is nothing but a profit for them.

Bigger!

Seeing that shopkeeper Wang was still struggling, she looked at the sky outside and saw that it was getting late and she wanted to go back.

So he no longer waited for the shopkeeper to figure it out, and said, "Shopkeeper Wang, let's do this. My surname is Gu. After that, you tell your boss about my requirements and ask him to come over. Then I will prepare my dishes for you on the spot. Wait for you."

If you feel it’s not suitable after trying it, forget it!” Of course, this won’t happen.

Speaking of this, Gu Xiaoxiao felt a little proud again. She had won the world-class Western-style food competition for five consecutive years. That event was called "the myth of the catering industry" because no one in it knew it.

The origin of the name is unknown. All that is known is the entries and their achievements. In the past five years, Gu Xiaoxiao has been hailed as a "myth among myths" by the outside world, because there is no one in the world who has won the championship for five consecutive years.

people.

At the same time, she is also a director of the Chinese Cuisine Royal Chef Level Culinary Association, and is proficient in both Chinese and Western cuisine. As long as she has the ingredients, she can complete a delicious dish, but unfortunately, she has no ingredients at home, let alone the seasonings she needs. Sigh deeply, it’s okay.

It’s okay, I’ll buy it soon!

His thoughts flew back. After another psychological struggle, Shopkeeper Wang finally agreed to pass on the message. After all, he also wanted to improve the current predicament. If he continued like this, he was afraid that the few people would be gone, so he should go home and plant crops.

The ground is gone...

"But this lady, I'm only responsible for passing on the message. It's impossible to say what decision the boss will make at that time, or whether he will come over." He had to say this in advance, otherwise the deal would not go through and he would be further affected.

Their last transaction was more than worth the gain!

Gu Xiaoxiao thought for a while and then said, "Then please tell the shopkeeper clearly when the time comes. If he wants this 'Shiwei Xuan' to open all over the country, it's best to come over."

There is a vague threat in these words, but there is nothing that can be done. If no one can be seen by then, everything that follows will be impossible.

Shopkeeper Wang didn't expect Gu Xiaoxiao to say this, and was slightly surprised. This lady brought him so many surprises.

In the end, they reached an agreement, and they agreed that Gu Xiaoxiao would come over on this day next week. If his boss came by then, it would be fine. If he didn't come, it meant that there was no chance.

After finishing the matter, Gu Xiaoxiao quickly went to buy some seasonings that could be used, and all the seasonings he wanted were the best ones, such as salt. This time he bought fine salt, which tastes better, and

Sugar, pepper, chili pepper, vinegar, etc., anyway, we have all the sweet, sour, salty and spicy ingredients. Now she can show off her skills, and she no longer has to torture her precious stomach!

Of course, I have to buy some rice and noodles, and the noodles I want are all finely polished. Although they are not comparable to those in her space, they are already the best rice noodles in this shop.

Then I bought some new chairs and a bunch of pots and pans. The small stool at home was not only lame, but also very uncomfortable to sit on. The table can still be used for a while, but I can't take it down today, so let's leave it like this.

The pots and pans in the kitchen were all too old, and it was time to replace them with new ones. Soon, before the three taels of silver were warmed up, more than half of them were squandered, and there were still a few hundred coins left. Gu Xiaoxiao

Looking at the small cakes sold on the street, I spent all my money.

It doesn't matter, if the money is gone, you can earn it again. If this deal is completed, you won't have to worry about having no money to spend.

Originally, she wanted to bring Zhou Zeyun some medicine to recuperate her body, but all the money was spent. Besides, there was also her spiritual spring water, which was not as delicious as the medicinal materials. Currently, the main task was to find the medicinal materials needed for the antidote, and two flavors had been found.

There are still two medicines missing. It is difficult to find them in drug stores. Even if they are available, they are too expensive. She should wait until she has money. Maybe she can find the other two medicines when she goes to the mountain again.

No matter what, I can't buy anything today, so I'd better go home as soon as possible. Gu Xiaoxiao thought.

I went directly to the entrance of the deserted alley, put all my shopping in the space in an instant, and then walked home briskly with my empty backpack on my back. I had done everything I wanted to do today, and I was very happy.

I didn't take my things out of the space until I arrived at the door of my house, and my backpack was suddenly stretched out.

As soon as I entered the house, it was the same scene as in the morning. People were working, and others were following.

Now that Gu Xiaoxiao has brought food, the cubs no longer have to go out to beg for food, and can continue to do the housework at home that they did before.

The difference was that when Si Bao looked up and saw Gu Xiaoxiao, he immediately smiled and narrowed his eyes, took small steps and called "Mother", and ran over unsteadily.

When the three brothers saw him, they immediately put down what they were doing and followed Si Bao to protect him, fearing that he would fall.

Because Gu Xiaoxiao was carrying so many things, she really didn't have the strength to hug him, so she caught him firmly with her legs, then asked him to let go of his hand, and reached out to rub the top of his head in response.

Si Bao smiled even more happily after his head was touched. Seeing that his stepmother was carrying so many things, he stepped aside and gave way. He was too young to help his mother. This was the first time he wished he would grow up quickly!

Gu Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen and put the backpack on the ground, then sat on the ground and gasped for air. His body was too fat, and he was so tired after carrying it from outside the house. Although the thing was indeed quite heavy, heavier than a wild boar!

Okay, she admitted that she had taken the wild boar according to her past habits, but when she was tired, she looked at Shopkeeper Wang's shocked expression, but she didn't want the momentum to weaken. She was concerned about Xiao Xiao's face.

I still need it, I can only hold on.

After resting for a while, Gu Xiaoxiao shouted to the four kids in the yard: "Each of you, come here and get a chair to replace your old stool in the bedroom!"

Baby, please collect some and vote~
