Chapter 756: The wealthiest landowner in the 756th village

Now that she thought about the 5000 taels that she had returned to Jin Xun, she felt as if her flesh had been stewed, and it hurt.

She glanced faintly at Ji, “What do you want with me?”

“Nothing much.” He said, “Our Boss Jin wanted you to go to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion tomorrow. Didn’t you say that besides the eight dishes you made, you have a few exclusive recipes for stir-fried dried fern? And the eight dishes you made in the Tao Mansion, our boss also said that he wanted you to guide our Drunken Immortal Pavilion’s Chef.”

“There’s nothing to teach about those eight dishes. You go back and tell your master that the Tao family’s restaurant will promote those eight dishes. All you have to do is send a chef to the Tao family’s restaurant for dinner or takeout, and they’ll know how those eight dishes are made. The Tao family’s restaurant doesn’t have dried fern, so the taste will be inferior to that of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. As for the other stir-fried dried fern recipes, I will charge extra for them.”

“This…” Ji hesitated, “The dried fern is so expensive, and you still charge separately for the recipe…”

“As you said, what they’re buying is the dried fern. The real scarcity is the dried fern, a rare vegetable that can’t be found elsewhere within a year, so it’s naturally expensive. As for how to soak dried fern and stir-fry it to make it delicious, I already told your Shopkeeper when my second brother and third brother delivered the goods. If you want me to teach the recipes separately, of course, there will be an additional charge.”

“How much extra for one recipe?”

“I have five more recipes for stir-frying dried fern, thirty taels for each recipe.” She said, “I’m only giving you a discount because your boss bought so much dried fern from me.”

“Five recipes amount to 150 taels.” Ji said, “I, a servant, cannot make such a decision…”

“No problem, buy or not is up to your boss, no pressure.”

“I will inform our boss.” Ji didn’t say anything else and looked up at the sky, “The sky is getting dark. Can I stay at your place for the night?”

Su Qingyue thought that they might deal with the Drunken Immortal Pavilion later and there was no need to make it difficult for him, so she nodded, “It’s alright, there is no spare room, you can either sleep on the floor or squeeze in with my second brother and third brother for the night.”

“No problem.” Ji was not picky, “My horse…”

“Just lead it to the courtyard fence and tie it to the fence post.” She casually pointed to a spot that did not obstruct anything.

Ji did as she said, and Xiao Qinghe brought a bowl of water from the kitchen for him, “It’s a long way, you must be thirsty.”

Ji gratefully accepted the bowl and drank the water in a few big gulps.

“Do you want more?” Qinghe’s voice was faint.

“No need, thank you.” It was only then that he looked closely at Xiao Qinghe, seeing his handsome and gentle appearance. He had already inquired about the Xiao Family’s situation and knew that he was the Xiao Family’s fourth son; it was a pity that his legs were disabled at such a young age.

In fact, his master had sent him to the Xiao Family to see what the situation was.

He pondered that his master had already taken a fancy to Su Qingyue and was going to snatch her from the Xiao Family’s men.

Li Wangshi had been all ears throughout the conversation, her face filled with interest as she asked, “How much did you sell the dried fern for in the end? You wouldn’t tell me this morning.”@@novelbin@@

“How much I sold it for is none of your business,” Su Qingyue had no particular fondness for Li Wangshi’s family, but there was no harm done either.

“Then don’t say it, as if I’m dying to know.” Li Wangshi twisted her somewhat slack buttocks and left.
