Chapter 211 Shocking City Lord
"As long as Madam can tell you the secret recipe, we are willing to give you a thousand taels of cash in exchange."
When the shopkeeper heard what Su Manrong said, he immediately followed her words and made a promise.
To this restaurant, a thousand taels of cash was not much. Once the disaster was over and they could meet seven or eight people as heroic as Xiao Chengxian and others, the money would be earned back.
In addition, with this secret recipe, he can make ice drinks that are famous far and wide, and his income is immeasurable.
"Well...if I hadn't been desperate, I would definitely not be ashamed of my master."
As Su Manrong spoke, she shook her head with a sigh, covered her face and cried to express her helplessness.
At that moment, the shopkeeper prepared a thousand taels of cash. Su Manrong wrote down on paper how to make ice drinks. The principle of making ice from saltpeter can make ice cubes.
But if you want to make such a delicious ice drink, you need the raw material ice cream powder...
"Shopkeeper, here is the production process. I also specially made illustrations, I think you can understand it at a glance." Su Manrong took the cash and handed it to Xiao Chengxian, and then handed the notes to the shopkeeper,
And explained: "It contains tips for storing ice drinks, but you need to buy the raw materials yourself."
"In all the years I've been working in a restaurant, I've never heard of ice cream powder. What is this chocolate bar? I know a thing or two about peanut brittle." The shopkeeper asked with confusion on his face when he heard this.
"It's okay if you don't understand. I'll give you an address. After the flood is over, you can go there to purchase goods." Su Manrong smiled politely and wrote another address on the note.
Of course, this address was just made up. She knew that natural disasters would make it difficult to survive, and then there would be turmoil in the court, and the people would be in dire straits...
But if the natural disaster passes soon, then she will also open a chain store of ice drinks. Then the shopkeeper will be able to go there and purchase goods.
"This...I just got the recipe. How to make it? Without the raw materials, I can't make it. I wonder if Madam has some raw materials. I'll ask Madam for some advice after I bid for it."
The shopkeeper vaguely felt that something was not right after taking out the money. He had been in business for so many years, and he had never been so controlled by others.
"To be honest, we and others are traveling this time to purchase raw materials. But if we sell the raw materials to you, we have to go back to purchase them, which is really troublesome."
Su Manrong sighed in embarrassment, with a negotiable expression on his face.
"Let's do this. I will pay for all your expenses on the way back and forth. I will never let you work in vain." The shopkeeper also made up his mind to learn how to make cold drinks with his own hands.
Since you have spent so much money, you can’t learn nothing.
Suddenly, Su Manrong received another five hundred taels of cash and the shopkeeper's admiration.
"Shopkeeper, my two children have just woken up. I have to comfort them and explain to you how to use them later." Su Manrong looked at the children being held by Du Xin's two aunts, and said softly to them.
He smiled and walked over quickly.
Although the shopkeeper was impatient, he did not dare to show his dissatisfaction, so he could only wait outside the corridor.
He originally wanted to take advantage of the natural disaster to blackmail this group of people severely. However, he did not expect that before Su Manrong and his group were hungry, he took out one thousand five hundred taels of cash one after another.
But I thought that even if Su Manrong and others had dry food, they wouldn't be able to hold on for long. When they are hungry, a white flour steamed bun is worth ten taels and a plate of vegetables is worth twenty taels. It depends on whether they buy it.
Based on this calculation, the fifteen hundred taels spent can be earned back in minutes.
How could Su Manrong and Xiao Chengxian not know what the shopkeeper was thinking? Who could be a good person if he took advantage of a natural disaster and raised the price?
I'm afraid that if the 50th Guards hadn't had so many people, the shopkeeper would still be interested in meeting Cai.
There is no need to be polite when dealing with such people.
Su Manrong played with the two children in the room for two hours at a stretch, refusing to teach the shopkeeper, which made him anxious.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker, the shopkeeper couldn't wait for Su Manrong to come out, and he couldn't help himself. He asked the waiter to go to the room to prepare some steamed buns...
"Master, there are ships coming outside."
At this time, it had been almost five hours since the eight 50 Guards left in their kayaks. The boat was finally seen on the water that had been calm.
Xiao Chengxian and Su Manrong both walked out in a hurry and looked at the approaching ship. They both climbed up and looked to see if there were any familiar faces from the 50th Guards on the ship.
"Painter Su, we have been ordered by King Cheng to help Painter Su get out of trouble." After the ship approached, a sword-wielding officer stood on the bow and said respectfully.
"Thank you for your concern, His Highness King Cheng. I don't know which city gate you came from?" Su Manrong stood on tiptoes and couldn't see clearly who was on the boat.
"The water outside Chengzhou City has just reached the knee level and has not yet entered the city. At first, His Highness King Cheng did not know that Xianyang City was seriously affected by the disaster. Several people who took a detour from Xianyang City to Chengzhou City said that Xianyang City was seriously affected by the disaster.
Painter Su was trapped in a restaurant, His Royal Highness Prince Cheng and the Princess immediately arranged for us to come to the rescue."
"Where is the person who reported the news now?" Su Manrong turned around and looked at Xiao Chengxian beside him, and asked with concern: "Another boat sent them to the south of the moat of Xianyang City to set up tents first so that Painter Su and the two
Young Master, please eat and rest."
"good."
Su Manrong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the sound. No wonder Ai Fei couldn't find the 50 Guards. Together, they were going to move rescue outside Chengzhou City. They had to take a detour to Chengzhou, which naturally took one day.
However, they were able to move in reinforcements within a few hours, which shows that they have been running around all day.
"Painter Su, let's set off immediately, otherwise it will get later and later," the officer suggested.
"Okay, wait a moment, let's go pack our luggage." Su Manrong nodded, and everyone packed their luggage as soon as they saw the rescue. ωωw..net
However, for safety reasons, Su Manrong still issued a life-saving vest to each person, and then one after another they went down from the third floor to the boat on the water surface on the second floor.
"You can't get on. This is a private boat. Just wait for the rescue team from Xianyang City."
The leading official blocked the way of the shopkeeper and his party and said coldly.
"Master Jun, please help. Xianyang City was severely hit, and I'm afraid there won't be any rescue in a short time. If you leave us here, you're leaving us to die." The shopkeeper explained with a flattering smile.
