Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

This look made Ren Ye laugh.

He waved his hand: "A reminder is just a reminder, it doesn't count."

"Now, my family doesn't have much money, and I only like this in my life. So, there is a business I want to do with the shopkeeper."

"What business?"

"How about I exchange an antique from my home for a meal at your Samadhi House?"

"Okay, okay." In Qin Jingru's view, Master Ren is simply a mascot.

Because of him, many times, customers will order an extra dish. Don’t underestimate this dish, it can increase sales a lot.

Cao Wei had instilled similar thinking in her.

He told her that if you want to do business, you can't be too calculative. Business is not about the moment. If you are stingy now, it may have a bad impact on your future business. Take your time to learn and don't rush to make decisions when you encounter something. Also, you can't be too capitalist when doing business, otherwise you will be easily ignored.

Therefore, Qin Jingru agreed to Ren Ye's request without hesitation.

Antiques, anything is fine. She even wanted to pay the old man a salary.

This time, Master Ren can’t do it anymore.

What does "OK, OK" mean?

Shouldn't you ask what it is?

"Shouldn't you ask what it is?" Ren Ye was silent for a while, but finally asked.

"What...is that?" Qin Jingru blinked her big eyes, looking a little dazed.

This is her special skill. Lou Xiaoe said that for some mature people, it is always good not to show off their intelligence and to show off their stupidity. She thought it made sense, so she took it and used it.

Master Ren: ...

"Cloisonné." He sounded a little disappointed when he said this.

"Oh, then I don't want it." Qin Jingru shook her head.

This made Master Ren very angry: "Little kid, do you know what cloisonné is?!"

"I know." Qin Jingru nodded: "But I don't want antiques from the Qing Dynasty. Do you have any from the Ming Dynasty? Or Tang Sancai will also work..."

No, why does Tang Sancai sound like a joke in your mouth!

"Why not the one from the Qing Dynasty?" Ren Ye really couldn't understand Qin Jingru's train of thought, and now it was his turn to be curious.

Cloisonné, also known as "copper-based cloisonné enamel", is a handicraft that combines copper and enamel and is made through multiple firing processes. Due to its cumbersome and complex craftsmanship, it represents the pinnacle of traditional Chinese craftsmanship. (Baidu, hehe) This kind of thing, if you want to understand it, you can't take it out at all, and you keep it as a treasure.

Peak, how many things can be called these two words?

"The history of the Qing Dynasty is a bit depressing to read, I don't like it. Although the history of the Ming Dynasty is also depressing, it is still quite righteous. Oh, I don't want the history of the Song Dynasty either, it's too cowardly." Qin Jingru waved her hand in disdain.

What a special collecting method.

"You want Tang Sancai?"

"Do you have any at home?" Qin Jingru's eyes lit up: "Then I want this."

"You're welcome."

"whee."

Why does this "Hee Hee" deserve a beating so much?

If Qin Huairu were here, she would probably make the same exclamation of admiration.

Is it yours? You want it!

"Okay, I'll bring it to you, but I have a condition."

"You say." Qin Jingru knew the value of Tang Sancai. It was not an exaggeration to say that this thing was a national treasure. You couldn't say that it could be used to buy a few meals with it. That would be too much.

"I want to exchange two meals." Ren Ye stretched out two fingers.

Qin Jingru didn't ask in a hurry, but waited for Ren Ye to continue speaking.

"For the first meal, I will order one dish, Mapo Tofu, and ask the best chef in your restaurant to make it."

"Yeah. What about the second meal?"

"If I am satisfied with the first meal, I will tell you about the second one."

"Then the Tang Sancai." Qin Jingru blinked her eyes, full of desire.

Master Ren was a little dazed. Many years ago, there was also a little girl who looked at him in the same way. He sighed in his heart and said softly, "If the first or second meal doesn't meet my requirements, I'll take a Tang Sancai and exchange it for the money to eat in the store for the rest of my life, okay?"

"Okay, okay, deal!"

"Then the contract is signed. I'll come again tomorrow."

"Okay! I'll tell Brother Wei when I get back!"

"Brother Wei, your husband? The shopkeeper, or the cook?"

"Yes, he is the best cook in the world!"

Hearing this, Master Ren said nothing. He just looked at Qin Jingru deeply, then turned and left.

"Hey, don't disbelieve me, I'm telling the truth!"

Ye Ren waved his hands but did not stop. He didn't want to talk, and he couldn't talk. Many years ago, he also had a little baby like this, riding on his neck and shouting loudly, "Daddy is the best in the world."

"Hey, didn't you take the old man's birdcage?" Qin Jingru then realized that Ren Ye's birdcage was not taken.

"How about we return it to him tomorrow when he comes over?" Liu Lan just saw a tear mark on Ren Ye's face, but she didn't chase him out in the end.

"Well, that's fine."

"I'm back!" Qin Jingru pushed open the door and picked up the enamel cup on the table. She first said "ton ton tung" a lot, and then Qin Huairu nodded her head and scolded her.

"I told you to drink slowly, drink slowly! What if you choke?"

Since Banggeng got married, Qin Huairu stopped going to the village, and the farm affairs were also handed over. In her own words, she had done her duty to the Jia family, and from now on, she would live for herself. For so many years, she had been holding back a desire to completely resolve her responsibilities.

Now, she felt, the time had come.

It’s not that she just doesn’t care about it, but she wants to be with Cao Wei in the future.

It was not until today that she could hold Cao Wei's hand without hesitation and say "I love you".

Qin Jingru pursed her lips: "How dare you! How dare you talk to me like that?"

"My queen?!" Qin Huairu didn't care about Qin Jingru's glare and always took direct action.

"Sister...sister, I'm wrong, I'm wrong..."

Cao Wei watched the two sisters quarreling with a smile.

In the end, Qin Jingru hid behind Cao Wei, and the matter was resolved.

"Just pamper her!" Qin Huairu said unhappily.

"I still love you." Cao Wei showed his eight big white teeth.

"Humph."

"Tell me, what's the matter? You look so anxious." Cao Wei pulled Qin Jingru out from behind him.

"Yes, yes, two things." Qin Jingru stretched out two fingers.

Since she started working, she has become less impatient and has started to do things in order.

"One is whether you would consider hiring some security guards for our Samadhi Building?"

"What? Something happened?" Cao Wei frowned.

"That's not the case. Master Ren said today that there is no powerful person in our place..."
