That’s a thousand taels! How many years of marinated delicacies would this shop have to sell to make this sum!

Wei Ruo smiled, “I’m not selling the recipe for the marinated dishes, but I think

I can discuss another deal with Boss Fan, which will be more suitable for Zuixian Residence than this marinated dish recipe.

Shopkeeper Shen looked puzzled, “The young master has other business to discuss with our family’s young master?

“Yes, please return and tell Boss Fan that if he is indeed interested, we could arrange a meeting to discuss further.” said Wei Ruo.

Shopkeeper Shen looked at Wei Ruo, his surprise very evident.

This young master surely is brave. This novice, who hasn’t even made a household name for himself yet, dares to ask to deal directly with their master.

Should he be called a young calf that is not afraid of the tiger, or should we commend him for his courage?

After contemplating for a while, Shopkeeper Shen said: “Alright, I will go now and ask our young master. Please wait here for a moment young master, I will be back soon.”

“Okay.” Wei Ruo agreed.

Shopkeeper Shen stood up and left, quickly returning to Zuixian Residence. On the second floor of the private box, Shopkeeper Shen repeated the pitch he just had.

“Oh? He wants to discuss business with me personally?” Fan Chengxu showed

an interested smile.

“Yes.”

Fan Chengxu pondered for a while, then said, “Bring him over.

“Yes, I’ll go right away.”

Due to the close proximity of the two shops, in less than a joss stick’s burning time, Wei Ruo, led by Shopkeeper Shen, walked into the door of the Crane Pavilion on the second floor.

This time, Fan Chengxu carefully looked at Wei Ruo at a close distance.

He was young, small in stature, had a large area of blue birthmarks on his face

and ugly black moles. His looks could be described as ugly.

Only those pair of eyes were clear and clean, smart and spirited, it could be considered the only redeeming feature on his face.

“I heard from Shopkeeper Shen that you want to talk business with me?” Fan Chengxu looked at Wei Ruo with a half-smiling expression.

“Yes.” Wei Ruo answered.

“Tell me about it.” Fan Chengxu leisurely sipped his tea, waiting for the rest of

the conversation.

“Zuixian Residence is the most famous restaurant in Taizhou prefecture. There are many kinds of dishes in the building. The marinated dishes are just one of the hundreds of dishes. It’s not worth spending a lot of money to buy a marinated dish. But I have something more useful to Boss Fan that I want to supply to you in the long run.

“Oh? What is it?” Fan Chengxu admitted that he was quite interested in what

this young master was saying.

Wei Ruo did not answer directly, but took out three porcelain bottles from the brocade bag he had brought.

Wei Ruo placed the three bottles on the mahogany round table in front of him, lined up in a row.

-These three bottles are all ingredients for seasoning. The spices used in my marinated dishes shop are these. Boss Fan, if you are interested, you may take a look.” said Wei Ruo.

Fan Chengxu stared at the three porcelain bottles in front of Wei Ruo.

After scrutinizing them for a while, he signaled to Shopkeeper Shen.

Shopkeeper Shen immediately came forward and took all three porcelain bottles to Fan Chengxu.

Fan Chengxu opened one bottle and sniffed it near his nose. There was a scent inside, the smell was rich and layered.
