Immediately, the shopkeeper said, ”Alright, let me borrow your kitchen, Goudan. Bring this girl to the kitchen. If she needs any materials, you guys should cooperate fully.”
”Yes, Manager!”
Xia Xiaochan walked towards the kitchen.
On the side, Lee Congwen looked a little anxious. In his previous life, he often ate pots and pans, so he knew that they were delicious, and he even knew that Xia Xiaochan used this pot to earn her first pot of gold before starting a shop. However, he only knew how to eat and didn't know how to make the pot.
Ever since he failed to win Xia Xiaochan's hand, Lee Congwen was especially worried about money. Thus, almost immediately, Lee Congwen had the same idea as the one that made Xia Xiaochan rich.
Of course, he knew one thing, and that was that he must set the price when the shopkeeper had set his eyes on the upper half of the recipe. When he saw the lower half, he must keep the money in his hands.
Otherwise, based on the pot made from the recipe, he was afraid that the taste would be wrong.
Usually when he ate, he would know that there were chili peppers inside, and this pot was cooked with chili peppers. Of course, he racked his brains to recall the peppers inside, but he really didn't know anything else.
To put it bluntly, this so-called secret recipe was just a novelty. Anyone who bought Xia Xiaochan's prescription would know what this pot was used for as long as they opened it properly. They would use an iron pot to heat up the food and eat it.
However, that was all.
After Xia Xiaochan left, Lee Congwen said viciously almost immediately, ”Shopkeeper, have you thought it through clearly? ”If you don't buy it, I'll sell the pot to the Everlasting Feast Hall.”
The manager's eyes flickered as he laughed, ”Young Master Li, what's the rush? Your price should be a bit high right? How about this, we can eat slowly and talk slowly. You think it's feasible? ”
With one glance, he could tell that Wealth Building Manager was stalling for time.
It had to be known that Hundred Flavors Tower was not as generous as Wealth Building. If he gave the recipe over, not only would he not be able to get a single coin, he might not even be able to get it.
Thinking about it here, Lee Congwen said, ”Shopkeeper, how about this, I have some feelings for your Wealth Building. I once loved the dishes and wine of your Wealth Building the most, and I also don't have the heart to see your Wealth Building decline.
Hearing this, the Wealth Building Manager's mouth flashed with a disdainful look, and said: ”I wonder how much cheaper Young Master Li can be?”
”Eighty silver taels for a single serving. I can't say anymore. This is the ancestral secret recipe, a dish that no one else has ever tasted. If the shopkeeper were to sell the pot, it would definitely be extremely popular.”
Wealth Building Manager smiled, and said: ”Young Master Li, this price is really a bit high, you know we haven't had any business lately, so you should reduce it.”
”50 taels, I can't lose it any further.”
Lee Congwen had always thought that merchants were cheap, and doing this kind of thing naturally made him feel ashamed. He almost flushed red as he haggled, looking at the Wealth Building Manager's disdainful face. He felt that his character was being insulted, and hated Xia Xiaochan more and more.
If this woman did not know what was good for her, if she did not refuse his proposal, why would he do what these lowly merchants would do? Therefore, it was Xia Xiaochan who had caused him to be in such a miserable state.
