Seeing that he was being disliked, Cao Jun touched his nose and smiled awkwardly.

Well, he really can't do anything, and if he stays here he will only make things worse.

He listened to the advice and went for a stroll by the river, fanning himself.

There are green mountains and clear waters here. Just walking here will make people drive away the restlessness in their hearts.

He really likes this place more and more. It is really a good idea to live here when he is old.

Mr. Fang knew that his good friend was coming over today, but when school was over at noon, he didn't see anyone coming.

Without thinking too much, he guessed that the other party must have come to the Zheng family first.

How could they leave him behind at this time? So after school, he followed Zheng Qingming and Lixia to the Zheng family.

Sure enough, as soon as I arrived at the gate of the yard, I saw a person standing in the yard, looking at the kitchen and swallowing his saliva.

"Ahem." Fang Xiucai couldn't bear to see his good friend's useless look, so he coughed twice to remind him to pay attention to his image.

Unexpectedly, Cao Jun just turned his head to look at him, then turned his head towards the kitchen as if ignoring him.

The aroma wafting from the kitchen was so tempting that he couldn't move his feet.

He had eaten so many delicious things, but he still couldn't help being attracted by the fragrance in this farmyard.

In just a moment, he smelled all kinds of different scents.

He had already made up his mind that he must buy all ten recipes.

After Zheng Qingming and Lixia came in, they greeted Cao Jun first, then hurriedly washed their hands and went to the kitchen to help.

Mr. Fang and Cao Jun stood in the yard, watching the family busying themselves in the small kitchen, talking and laughing.

That smile made the two of them feel envious. Although the yard was small and shabby, it was filled with the homely atmosphere that they could not ask for.

The two of them just looked at each other quietly, and no one spoke first.

Zheng Xiaoman in the kitchen had no idea that someone was still envious of them. If she knew, she would definitely swear at that person.

At this moment, she was constantly wiping the sweat from her forehead with a towel. It was the hot weather of July, and she had been busy around the stove for the whole morning. Her clothes were soaked and she had to change them twice.

If she hadn't been thinking of selling the recipe for money, she would have quit the job long ago.

It was so damn hot that the two basins of ice she placed in the kitchen had long since melted into water and were of no use at all.

Zhou Chunfeng looked at her daughter with pity, but she didn't dare to give her ice water directly.

She could only cool the boiled water and pour a glass of it for her daughter in time to replenish her water.

For these few pieces of silver, the whole family was busy and sweating.

Finally, when her patience ran out, all the dishes were ready.

Lixia hurried back to the house to set the table, and Zheng Qingming helped to bring the dishes to the table and set it aside.

Taking advantage of this time, Zheng Xiaoman brought a basin of warm water back to the house and wiped his body with a towel.

Only after she changed into clean clothes did she feel alive again.

Zheng Dashan felt sorry for his daughter, so he brought two basins of ice into the dining room. Zheng Xiaoman felt a bit of coolness as soon as she came in.

Everyone sat around the table, and Zheng Xiaoman first introduced the name of each dish to Cao Jun.

Cao Jun matched the dishes on the table with the menu he had just looked at one by one.

No one was polite anymore and everyone picked up their chopsticks to start eating.

Cao Jun tasted each dish and found it tasted better than he had imagined.

Especially the yellow eel, which he had never eaten before, he really liked the chewy texture of this fish.

The second dish was glutinous rice and eight-treasure duck, which also gave him quite a surprise.

The glutinous rice was placed in the duck's stomach. Not only that, he also found bamboo shoots, bacon, and it seemed like there were also eggs and mushrooms?

The duck skin is fried crispy on the outside and very tender on the inside, with a very rich taste.

Among these dishes, the one he may not be used to is the pig intestines, but when he sees his friend eating it bite after bite, he knows that this is a dish that he loves very much, and if he doesn't like it, he can't eat a single bite.

The rest of the dishes are pretty standard, but the ways of eating them are so unique that people can’t help but try them again and again.

Cao Jun was very satisfied with this meal, even more satisfied than the one he had the night before.

When Zheng Xiaoman saw his enjoying expression, he knew that his hard work today was not in vain.

Cao Jun finally remembered what he was doing here. He straightened his clothes and said, "Girl, I like all these dishes. As for the price, I'll give you fifty taels per dish, which is definitely a very high price."

Zheng Xiaoman couldn't help but be surprised. The dishes she sold to Shopkeeper Bai only cost 20 taels each.

The other party asked for fifty taels per ticket, which was twenty taels more than the thirty taels she had expected.

Then Zheng Xiaoman had no time to hesitate and agreed decisively.

After the contract was signed, Cao Jun took out five silver bills from his pocket and handed them to Zheng Xiaoman.

Five silver notes of one hundred taels each equals exactly five hundred taels.

Zheng Xiaoman is so excited that his heart is shaking and his hands are trembling. He suddenly feels like he has become rich overnight.

But she still proposed another idea, "Uncle Cao, I wonder if you can buy the chickens, ducks and geese you use for cooking from our village first in the future?"

Their family's sudden wealth was a bit too eye-catching, so the best way was to give the villagers some benefits and bring everyone in.

When Cao Jun heard that it was just a small matter, he nodded in agreement, "Not only chickens, ducks, and geese, but also acorns. I can buy them directly in your village. Of course, it would be best if you sell me the already made acorn powder, so that I can save a lot of trouble."

Zheng Xiaoman smiled and nodded, there was no problem with that.

Both parties were very satisfied with this cooperation and signed a purchase contract for poultry and acorns. Then Cao Juncai and Fang Xiucai left.

Zheng Xiaoman handed the five hundred taels of silver note to her mother. Zhou Chunfeng held the silver note in her hand, still feeling a little dizzy.

Not only she couldn't believe it, but everyone else in the family also felt as if they were in a cloud of unreality.

Five hundred taels, they can never earn that much money in their lifetime.

What's more, this is just the beginning. Once Cao Jun starts selling ice cream officially, they will have a large income every month.

On the other side, Fang Xiucai and Cao Jun were walking on the way back to the village. Fang Xiucai smiled and said, "I can see that you are in a good mood."

Cao Jun fanned himself proudly, "With delicious food and good harvest, how can I not be happy?"

"You seem to be very optimistic about that girl, otherwise you wouldn't have given such a high price for these dishes."

Cao Jun raised his eyebrows and glanced at his friend. "You are the same, right? Otherwise, why would you want to call me over? Don't tell me that you really just want to help me solve my problems."

Mr. Fang laughed out loud, "For you? Forget it then."

The two looked at each other and then smiled.

As friends for many years, we understand each other without saying anything.
