Chapter 296 This Kyoto roast duck is our boss's original creation and is only available in our

Yun Duo saw some linen bags similar to modern shopping bags and a dozen wicker baskets placed next to the old man, and thought to herself: The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated.

"Uncle, are these bags and baskets specially prepared for customers who buy your fruit?"

“This cloth bag is made of burlap woven by my wife and daughter-in-law. This wicker basket was woven by my son in his spare time.

On weekdays, if it is not the fruit harvest season yet, I will come to this pier and set up a small stall specializing in selling these two things.

Merchants coming and going, as well as people traveling on passenger ships, occasionally want to buy some local specialties or food at our dock. But if they happen to not have the right containers to put these things in, they can just buy a cloth bag or wicker basket from me!

This way, I can carry local specialties conveniently and also bring in some extra income for my small business!

These peaches and cherries are all picked from the fruit trees that we grow ourselves! Now that they are in season, the fruits are ripe, so I quickly picked them and brought them to the dock to sell, which also makes some money.”

Yun Duo handed the money to the old man and said, "Uncle, buy another shopping bag and a shopping basket, and pack the peaches and cherries for me. I will come and get them later."

"Little girl, this name you gave is very good. Why didn't I think of it? I have been selling these two shopping bags and shopping baskets for several years. Thank you, little girl. I can see that you are very knowledgeable. You can give this burlap bag such a nice name." The old farmer was happy.

"Don't be polite, old man. I just said it casually. After you weigh it, put it aside and I will come to pick it up after I finish shopping."

"Go shopping, little girl! Leave it here for now and I'll keep an eye on it for you."

They then came to a small stall selling various hair ties, hair ornaments and bracelets.

This small stall is different from others. It is not placed on the ground, but a table-sized wooden board is supported by two backpacks. A red cloth is spread on the wooden board, on which are placed various kinds of hair flowers, hair strings, hair bands, and hand-woven bracelets, etc. The colorful ones are very beautiful.

The stall owner was a woman in her twenties, who was accompanied by a little girl of seven or eight years old. While the woman was selling goods, she was also holding a colorful rope in her hand to guide the little girl next to her to weave bracelets. The patterns she made were very exquisite.

Yun Duo took a red bracelet with a yellow flower on it, looked at it and asked, "Boss, how much is this?"

"Girl, these colorful bracelets are ten coins each. The headbands are ten coins a pair. They are all made by me. After deducting the cost, I only make the labor fee."

Yun Duo put a small daisy bracelet with yellow stamens in three gradient colors of blue, sky blue and white on her wrist and showed it to Li Xiuxiu: "Mom, do you think it looks good?"

"It's beautiful. My daughter is pretty and looks good in anything she wears." Li Xiuxiu looked at her daughter with a smile. It was a rare sight to see the demeanor of a little girl on her daughter's face.

"Boss, give me nine more daisy bracelets like this. Don't make the flowers of the same color, just one each. Nine pairs of head flowers. And seven pairs of headbands." Okay, you figure out how much it costs.

Yun Duo knew clearly that the price of a street stall like this was negotiable. If you bought more at one time, the stall owner would often be willing to give you a discount of one or two cents.

However, Yun Duo did not want to bargain at this moment, because she knew very well the hard work and efforts behind these exquisite handicrafts.

"Miss, ten bracelets and nine pairs of hair ornaments, a total of 190 wen. The hairbands are one wen each, a total of 14 wen. If you buy more, I'll give you a discount. Just give me 200 wen."

After buying the head flowers, they went around the market and bought some small toys for Yun Chenxing, then returned to the warehouse with their purchases.

The trucks here have been loaded, two in total, covered with the prepared tarpaulin, and tied tightly with ropes: "Master, all the goods are loaded, where are we going next?"

Yun Duo looked at the time and it was already noon: "Let's go back to the hotel. Second Grandpa and the others should have returned by now."

After arriving at the hotel and arranging the carriage, they entered the private room that they had reserved in the morning, which had two round tables.

Yunhe, Kungang and others had already returned and were sitting in the private room drinking tea and waiting for them.

"Second Grandfather, you are back. Have you received all the food?"

Jinsheng hasn't come yet, but Yunteng had already ordered the dishes before he went out. When he came back, he told the kitchen to start cooking.

Just as the fragrant dishes were served, Jinsheng rushed back. He walked into the private room, bowed respectfully, and then spoke slowly: "My lord, I have visited the three blacksmith shops in the county. I have purchased all the necessary tools such as hoes, sickles, and shovels. However, these blacksmith shops do not have suitable finished products for making the iron plowshare for the curved plow.

I have delivered the blueprint you drew to the blacksmiths and told them to make it according to the blueprint. It is expected that you can come to pick it up in two days. By then, these three blacksmith shops will be able to make the plowshares and related accessories needed for thirty curved plows.

In addition, the wood for making the curved plow has also been purchased."

After listening to Jinsheng's report, Yunduo smiled and said, "Jinsheng, thank you for your hard work. Sit down and eat!"

"Master, you are too polite. This is what a subordinate should do." After saying this, Jinsheng clasped his fists and bowed, then went to Kungang's table to prepare for dinner.

Yunhe sat at the table, looking at the table full of delicious food, his eyes wide open, chewing food non-stop, but his heart was full of heartache and reluctance.

As he ate with big mouthfuls, he thought to himself: "Oh my God! How much money will it cost to eat such a delicious meal?" However, even though he thought this in his heart, he never said this out loud.

Because he knew very well that his nephew's family was different now. Not only was his niece's wife the general's daughter, but his niece's future husband was also the crown prince. This was something he had never dared to dream of before.

Since the niece got well, the whole family seemed to have a new lease of life, and life had changed dramatically, even their second room had also risen with the tide. For Yunhe, this change was like an unbelievable dream.

At this time, the waiter entered the box with the last dish on the tray. He introduced the dish as he served it: "Sir, this is our signature dish, Kyoto roast duck."

When Yunduo ordered this dish, she was also interested in the name. It was similar to Peking duck, but she didn’t know if it tasted the same as Peking duck, so she wanted to try it.

She saw that the roast duck served by the waiter was the same as the Beijing roast duck eaten today, with sliced ​​duck meat and side dishes such as pancakes, sweet bean sauce, shredded green onions, shredded cucumbers and hawthorn strips.

She couldn't help but become curious about the owner of the restaurant. So she pretended to ask the waiter casually: "Brother, we are from another place. This roast duck smells really good. The restaurant near my hometown doesn't seem to have this dish yet. Is this a specialty of Tongyun County?"

When the waiter heard the customer's question, he said proudly: "Miss, you don't know! Our restaurant has only been open for less than half a year. In addition to the main store in Beijing, there is only one branch in Tongyun County. The owner opened a store in Tongyun County because of this wharf. Thanks to you for booking a private room early in the morning, otherwise you might have to dine in the hall. This Kyoto roast duck is the original creation of our owner, and it is only available in our Haihui Restaurant."

Yun Duo stood up excitedly: "What do you think the restaurant is called?"
