Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

An Yue nodded and called out to Shopkeeper Wang outside the door, "Shopkeeper Wang, we have finished our discussion!"

Shopkeeper Wang walked in with a smile and said, "Miss, you can just speak frankly!"

"Manager Wang, this recipe for cooking fish is divided into two parts. The first part is to pickle the fish, and the second part is to stew the fish."

"Oh? It seems that this fish is delicious, but also very complicated."

"Manager Wang is right. There is a saying that goes, good things take time! Delicious food is always complicated."

"How much is that girl willing to pay? Just tell me!"

"Pickled fish and braised fish are two recipes. I'll charge you thirty taels of silver. What do you think, Manager Wang?"

He did not answer immediately, but strategically stroked his beard and said thoughtfully: "Then... Miss, this unique secret recipe can only be sold to my restaurant and cannot be resold to others."

An Yue thought, as expected of a businessman, he already had the awareness of buying out the patent.

An Yue smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Wang, you have to reconsider the price~!"

"Then... two prescriptions and thirty-five taels of silver, is that okay?"

An Yue stood up, put her hands behind her back, and said, "If my stewed fish is a big hit, the money I earn may multiply many times. I'm afraid it's a bit unreasonable for Shopkeeper Wang to only give me this little money, isn't it?"

"This fish is indeed delicious, but it's probably too early to say it will be a big hit. Girl, please give me a price."

"It seems that Shopkeeper Wang is sincere. How about this? I will charge you forty taels of silver for two prescriptions. Is that ok?

"This... this is really..." Shopkeeper Wang looked embarrassed.

"Miss, thirty-five taels, do you think it's okay?"

An Yue said seriously: "Thirty-five taels, I can do it, but I have other requests."

"Girl, please speak."

"If you use my secret recipe to cook fish and it becomes a big hit, then the live fish and wild garlic used in the restaurant must be supplied by me within three months. The live fish will be sold at ten cents per pound, and the wild garlic at eight cents."

"The validity period is three months. After three months, if the product is of the same quality and is sold at the market price, you must give priority to mine. How do you think?"

An Yue walked up to Shopkeeper Wang and said slowly, "This is to ensure that you have a source of goods, and secondly, to ensure that I can make a profit. This is mutually beneficial."

Shopkeeper Wang laughed and said, "Okay! Let's write a document as proof and write down the request on it. If you regret it, you have to pay the other party forty taels of silver. How about that?"

An Yue gestured, "What about our remaining meat and vegetables...?"

"Oh! You see, I've been so busy all day that I almost forgot about it. I'll ask someone to weigh it right away."

"Jin Gui, come in!"

Then, Manager Wang called the accountant to draft a document and a secret recipe, and asked another manager to take Uncle Jiang Chenghai to the backyard to weigh the goods, and instructed someone to pour tea for the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren.

An Yue explained in detail the ingredients and spices needed for the secret recipe for braised fish, as well as the order in which to cook the fish, and the accountant wrote it down one by one.

After writing it, the accountant gave the secret recipe to Anyue for careful review.

At this time, Shopkeeper Wang asked curiously, "Miss, how did you come up with this braised fish?"

An Yue knows a truth very well, that is, there is no business without fraud. From ancient times to the present, it has never changed. When dealing with such businessmen, don't talk too much when chatting, after all, too much talk will lead to mistakes.

An Yue smiled and said casually: "Just three words, not afraid of death! I found this out by trying it a few times."

Shopkeeper Wang and An Yue laughed awkwardly at the same time: "Haha..."

The scene at this moment was indeed a bit awkward.

An Yue realized that this statement was indeed a bit perfunctory. She couldn't even fool herself, so how could she convince the old shopkeeper who had seen countless people.

So, An Yue said carelessly, "Um... well... actually, we have to start with wild garlic. It has a very strong and unique flavor. The most important thing when making braised fish is the wild garlic."

"Oh... I see. From now on, I'll have to trouble you to deliver food every now and then." Shopkeeper Wang saw that he couldn't get any other secret recipes out of her. He rolled his eyes and continued, "If you have any good secret recipes in the future, you must think of me first."

An Yue smiled and nodded, "Boss, that's for sure!!"

Soon, my uncle came back after weighing the food, and the accountant's receipt and secret recipe had already been prepared.

He turned around and said to An Yue, "Then let's sign and put our fingerprints on it?"

"Manager Wang, please wait a moment."

After saying that, An Yue handed the document to her grandfather with both hands for him to review.

Jiang Wuwen narrowed his eyes and read the document carefully. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he handed the document back to An Yue and nodded to her to show that he was relieved.

An Yue then handed the receipt to Shopkeeper Wang and made a 'please' gesture. Shopkeeper Wang had no choice but to sign and put his fingerprints on it first.

Both parties signed and put their fingerprints on it.

Shopkeeper Wang then instructed the accountant beside him, "Jin Gui, calculate the total amount of silver and bring it to the accountant one by one."

During this interval, Shopkeeper Wang filled the cups of tea for each of the three generations and said a few simple polite words to them.

The accountant took out the silver and explained in detail: "The secret recipe for stewed fish is thirty-five taels, and the pickled fish, wild vegetables, and wild garlic add up to two hundred and eighty coins.

"Fifty catties of meat, five taels of silver, the total is forty-one taels and eighty coins."

After the accountant finished speaking, he handed the silver and account book to Manager Wang.

After reading it carefully, Shopkeeper Wang smiled and said, "Miss, how about we... give the money in one hand and the prescription in the other?"

An Yue took the silver from Manager Wang with a smile and handed it to her uncle for safekeeping.

Then he turned around and smiled at Shopkeeper Wang and said, "Shopkeeper Wang, at this hour, I think everyone in the restaurant must be busy. We won't disturb you from doing business. We'll take our leave first!"

"Okay! Please forgive me for not seeing you off. Take care, all three of you!"

An Yue simply bowed and said, "Then I wish Manager Wang a prosperous business and abundant financial resources in advance!"

Shopkeeper Wang laughed heartily: "Haha... Thank you! Thank you! Then I'll trouble you to deliver the ingredients the day after tomorrow."

It was noon at this moment. The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren walked out of the reception hall and passed by the restaurant's lobby.

As expected of the largest restaurant in Shijing Town, the large lobby was packed with guests, the waiters were busy as hell, and the dishes on the table were fragrant.

An Yue, who was already starving, felt her stomach growling at an inopportune moment.

The main street outside the restaurant was still bustling with noise and the hawkers' cries could still be heard one after another.

My grandfather was carrying an empty basket, my uncle's basket was filled with a beam scale and an oil lamp, and An Yue was carrying a food box in her hands and an empty basket on her back.

The three of them walked out of Wanfulou with joy on their faces.

There was still a hint of daze in the expressions of my grandfather and uncle. Uncle Jiang Chenghai touched the purse in his arms, unable to believe it.
