Chapter 125 Escort Agency Order
On the day the lease expired, they and Manager Bai bought the shop. Although it was their second shop, its significance was very different. It was considered their base camp.
The feeling of renting and buying is different. Before, I always had a sense of uncertainty about leaving, but now I feel very stable.
"Should we move this osmanthus tree?" Shen Anyi asked as he looked at the tree that still had deep roots and lush leaves even in winter and thought of the confusion he had felt when he first rented the house.
"Forget it. We've already decided to use that room as a warehouse. It doesn't matter whether it blocks the light or not." Xu Si thought this was fine.
This tree is quite old and we don't know how deep its roots are. It would definitely not be easy to transplant it.
Just keep it as a viewing spot, and you can make some delicious food when it blooms.
There is only a little half of the osmanthus honey left that I made before. I usually can’t bear to drink it, so I guess I have to make more next year.
Shen Anyi nodded, handed the land deed in his arms to Lou Yuexin, asked her to keep it, and then went about her own business.
An Yu and Su Jinyue were busy in the kitchen, and Qing Huan was also helping to pick vegetables.
Xu Si had just washed his hands and was about to take over the job of cutting vegetables when he heard Shen Jingchuan shouting outside, "Ah Si, someone is looking for you."
"Who is it?" she replied loudly as she walked out.
Shen Jingchuan always felt that the kitchen was stuffy, and was too lazy to go in, so he waited outside. When he saw her come out, he continued, "I don't know them, a man and a woman, they said they had something to discuss with you."
With doubts in mind, Xu Si saw the two people as soon as he entered the shop. They were outstanding in both temperament and appearance.
The woman stood with her back straight, dressed in black, with her ponytail tied high and a furled white whip tied around her waist.
The man had a square face, slanted eyebrows, dark blue clothes, and a sword placed in front of him.
So cool, feels like a gangster.
When the two men arrived, Shen Anyi knew from their posture that they were martial artists, so he kept paying attention to them.
Seeing Xu Si approaching them, out of caution, he followed behind her and was on guard at all times.
While Shen Jingchuan was arranging the tables and chairs, he was also listening to the noise.
As for Shen Yanchen, although he also has the desire to protect others, it is suggested that he should not go up, otherwise he will only be beaten and be a mere victim.
Xu Si is their core figure, who must be protected. Apart from being a family member, she has captured everyone's hearts with her delicious food. No one can imagine the days when she can't have a bite of it.
So, the saying that to capture a man's heart you have to capture his stomach is not entirely true.
As long as you have good cooking skills, not only men’s hearts, but also women’s hearts and animals’ hearts are all no problem.
Xu Si searched his mind and confirmed that he had no impression of them. He walked over to them and asked directly, "Excuse me, are you looking for me?"
Before Xu Si could speak, the two knew someone was approaching and stood up as the voice sounded.
The woman clasped her fists and saluted, "Yes. Let me introduce ourselves first. We are from the Pingyao Escort Agency."
Xu Si also bowed and replied with a smile, "My apologies."
She knew that Pingyao Escort Agency was the only escort agency in Anyang County.
It can escort goods as well as protect people, and its establishment was approved by the imperial court.
"So what are you here for?" She stretched out her arm and motioned for the two to sit down, and she sat next to the woman.
When Shen Anyi heard that they were from the escort agency, he let down his guard a little and gave them room to talk.
The woman smiled and said, "We escorted Young Master Lan to the capital before, and we tasted the meat sauce he brought on the way. It was perfect for people like us who go out to escort. He told us that you made it, so we wanted to ask if you would sell it to us."
When they were walking for a while, there was no village or shop nearby, so they had to string the buns together on sticks and roast them over the fire to eat.
Every time Master Lan and his companions finished grilling, they would rush back to the carriage. They thought that the other party didn't want to have more contact with them.
After all, they were their guests and they had to be responsible. When a companion brought water to the two of them, he faintly smelled a fragrance.
Perhaps they felt it was not right to take their water and do nothing, so they gave their companion a taste of the meat sauce.
After that, everyone knew about it, and every day someone would take the newly found food to deliver it, just to try it.
I wanted to buy some, but the two men firmly refused.
If they didn't have morals, they would have tried to force you to buy something.
My mouth is almost dry, they are actually eating such delicious food in the car.
Just after returning from the capital, they came here to ask.
Xu Si thought of what Lan Lizhou had said in the letter, and he had some thoughts in his mind, "If you want to sell it, do you want his meat sauce?"
"Is there anything else?"
"Of course, what he ate was mushroom pork sauce. We can also make mushroom chicken sauce, century egg and roasted pepper sauce, mushroom and bamboo shoots sauce, minced meat and cowpea sauce, and chicken, rice and sprouts sauce." Xu Si casually mentioned some common sauces and provided more options.
“So many kinds?”
The woman looked at the man and said, "Brother, which one do we want?"
The man then said his first words since coming here, "I want a can of pork and mushroom sauce. Do you have a non-spicy sauce?"
He didn't want to eat spicy food in the wild when he was short of water. The consequences would be terrible.
“How about salted egg yolk sauce?”
Xu Si couldn’t think of any other sauce that was not spicy at the moment. He felt that all the sauces were salty, spicy and strong in taste.
"Okay, then we'll take these two types first. They have to be the same size as the jar that Young Master Lan has." The woman made a decision.
"When do you want it?"
"We have another escort mission to go out in half a month. Can we do it by then?"
She had been accustomed to the hard and simple life on the road as a bodyguard, and suddenly there was hope for improvement, and she couldn't wait.
"No problem, but in this weather, our sauce can only be kept for one and a half months at most. Can you finish it?" Xu Si reminded.
"Don't worry, when we escort the caravan, there are many people going together, mostly men, and they have big appetites."
The woman thought about her companion's face and forced a smile, "What's the price?"
Xu Si calculated in his mind that a can of meat sauce would require about 1 kilograms of pork and 2 kilograms of mushrooms. Adding other ingredients, the cost would be at least 50 cents.
The meat and mushrooms will be dehydrated during the production process, and the finished meat sauce weighs about 3 kilograms.
Comparing it with the current selling price, it’s about 100 wen per can.
As for salted egg yolk sauce, you have to use the yolk of salted duck eggs. But they don’t sell egg yolks directly here, so you can only buy them whole, and one egg costs 4 cents.
You need at least 50 egg yolks for one can.
She estimated, "A can of meat sauce is 100 wen, and a can of mayonnaise is 250 wen."
"Okay." The woman agreed immediately. As the daughter of the chief escort, she had the final say over this amount of money.
Xu Si felt a little emotional. It seemed that escorting a caravan was quite profitable.
"Then we'll come and pick it up a day in advance," the woman said after paying the money and agreeing on a pick-up time.
After the two left, Lou Yuexin and others also gathered around.
"I didn't expect that making meat sauce for Ah Shui would unexpectedly bring us an order."
“But it’s definitely suitable for taking out.”
