"I got it, Daddy."

Ni'er's little face was smiling, like a lovely little flower.

He turned around and ran away, skipping and jumping. The third brother also led the donkey cart to the town.

Just after delivering the tofu to Lai Fu Restaurant, he was stopped by Manager Liu.

"Brother, Qianwei Restaurant has recently launched a new dish called garlic pork. I heard it tastes very good and there are many people eating it."

Niu Laosan felt a little uneasy, wondering if the enemy was going to hold him accountable because the garlic pork was not sold to him but to someone else. He felt a little nervous at the moment.

Shopkeeper Liu looked at the third brother with a smile, "I guess this is the work of little friend Ni'er again."

The third child probably guessed what he wanted to say, but he couldn't be sure, so he just followed his words and said, "Yes, my daughter did it."

When Shopkeeper Liu heard this, he felt much more at ease. He was afraid that it wasn't Ni'er, but some other stranger who sold the recipe to a competitor. This was easy to explain, after all, she was an old acquaintance and it would be easy to talk to her.

"If you ask me, it couldn't be anyone else. Ever since I heard that Qianwei Restaurant had a new dish, I sent someone to buy it. I waited in line for a long time before I could get it."

"After taking a bite, the taste is really unforgettable."

As he said this, he swallowed his saliva and wondered why the recipe wasn't sold to him, otherwise he could eat it every day.

Although the restaurant has been open for so many years and I have tried all kinds of delicious food, this dish is really delicious.

"I went to ask Shopkeeper Wang, but he refused to tell me who sold him the recipe. I figured that if anyone could make it like this, it must be your daughter."

"You really guessed it."

As he spoke, he led Niu Laosan into a separate box, where he could have peace and quiet without being disturbed by others, and poured him a glass of water.

“Can I ask how much this recipe sold for?”

Seeing the embarrassed expression on the third brother's face, he knew that it was inappropriate to ask such questions.

But I still want to understand why they sold the recipe to Qianwei Restaurant but not to me, and how much they gave me.

It shouldn’t be a small amount, after all, it’s such a delicious dish.

If you knew this, the chances of buying Nier's recipe next time would be greatly increased.

The number of restaurant customers might double.

This kind of thing is really hard to talk about. The third brother looked embarrassed and looked up at Manager Liu, not knowing how to start.

Seeing him like this, Shopkeeper Liu persuaded him again, "You don't have to take it too seriously. I'm just preparing for the next time I buy a recipe."

"If Ni'er has new dishes, please sell them to me. The price is negotiable. I will definitely offer a higher price than Shopkeeper Wang."

Niu Laosan is an honest man and is not good at lying. If it were someone else, he would probably quote a higher price. Anyway, Manager Wang would never reveal this to Manager Liu.

Manager Liu's words really touched Niu Lao San, and he told him that it was okay, because the dishes cooked by Ni'er were worth the price.

"We'll give you eighty cents for each plate you sell."

When Manager Liu heard the price, he was stunned for a moment and suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. It was actually eighty cents. The man surnamed Wang was really willing to spend a lot of money.

But looking at how cheerful he looks recently, you can tell that the money was well spent.

As long as I can make money, eighty cents is not expensive. Every day, I feel bad watching people eating at Qianwei Restaurant passing by my door.

It was sad to hear those people talking about how delicious the food was after the meal.

I remember that day at the door of the restaurant, I met an old customer who often dined there, and I thought he was going to come in.

Who would have thought that after just a few greetings, he couldn't wait to leave. I thought he had something going on at home, but it turned out that he was rushing to queue up at Qianwei.

Thinking in this way, eighty cents was indeed not expensive. Manager Liu hardened his heart and gritted his teeth.

He stretched out his index fingers with both hands and made a ten.

"Next time, my dear little Ni'er, if you make any new dishes, just come to me. I will give you more than Shopkeeper Wang. No matter how much he offers, I will give you ten cents more."

Originally, the third brother thought that Manager Liu would be unhappy after selling the menu to Qianwei Restaurant twice in a row, and he might even complain a few words.

I didn’t expect to get such a guarantee, it’s great news.

This means that the next time you sell recipes, the price will be at least 90 cents per plate. The third brother's eyes lit up instantly.

I'll tell them the good news when I get home. They'll definitely be beaming with joy.

When Manager Liu saw Niu Laosan's expression, he knew there was a chance, but the matter had to be decided by Ni'er, because she was the one whose words counted.

He took out a small box that he had prepared long ago and handed it to the third child. "This is for Ni'er. I haven't seen her for a long time. When you are free, bring her over to play."

The third brother understood what Manager Liu meant, but he couldn't accept the gift and didn't accept any reward without merit.

Besides, if I accept it, it would be the same as agreeing to it. I can't make the decision on this matter, so I waved my hands and said, "You should take it back."

In front of the third brother, Shopkeeper Liu opened the box, which was filled with little gadgets for girls, such as hair ties, hair flowers, and wooden combs.

"Look, it's not something expensive. I just passed by a stall selling these little things and thought Ni'er would like them, so I bought them. If you don't want them, I don't know who to give them to. I can't just take them myself."

After saying that, he laughed.

Shopkeeper Liu was also racking his brains to think of ways to get closer to their family.

While strolling on the street, I found this small box, which was very exquisite.

Although it is made of ordinary wood, it has a smooth surface and fine workmanship. There are also several children flying kites painted on it, which is interesting and pleasing to the eye.

After opening the lid, there is a small mirror on it, which can reflect people clearly.

There happened to be a stall selling jewelry. I asked the stall owner what the seven or eight-year-old little girls liked, and then I packed some and brought them back.

Thinking about how the third brother's family had lived in poverty before, they could barely afford to eat, and the clothes they wore at the beginning were patched up, so they definitely wouldn't have the spare money to buy these things.

Before, I saw Ni'er wearing two faded hairbands. It was obvious that she had used them for a long time and she was reluctant to buy new ones. Even though she has some money now, it is difficult for her to change her old habits. I think giving these to her should please her.

Unfortunately, it was seen by a girl brought by a guest who came here to dine. She cried and shouted to take it away. I thought I could just give it to her as it was a worthless little thing. But the guest ended up holding the child under her armpit and took her out.

The stall owner was right. It was indeed something that children of this age liked.

Hearing what Manager Liu said, Niu Lao San couldn't refuse. It was indeed not worth much money, but Ni'er would be very happy to see it, so he accepted it.

When Manager Liu saw that he accepted it, he felt that his efforts were not in vain.

Niu Laosan went out and walked on the street. Now people actually gave him gifts. It was really a rare thing. It was all because of his daughter.
