Zhou Chunfeng wanted to say something else but was stopped by Old Man Zheng.

"Just listen to Xiaoman on this matter."

He finally realized that his little granddaughter was a capable person.

He saw that Shopkeeper Bai was so nervous that his palms were sweating, but his granddaughter was able to sit there and bargain with others.

Although Old Man Zheng felt a little hurt that he was not as good as a child, he felt somewhat proud when he saw his child's success.

He was also open-minded. He knew that he could not compete with the child, so he just listened to the child and did not cause any trouble for her.

Seeing that her father-in-law said so, Zhou Chunfeng stopped talking.

Zhu the butcher was much happier. He quickly packed up the remaining pig heads and trotters for her.

Afterwards, they went to Sun the butcher and packed up all the pig heads and trotters.

When they got home, Old Mrs. Zheng was also at home.

When Old Mrs. Zheng saw the few people coming back, she brought out some warm water for them.

"Some people from other villages came to my house this morning and left three sets of pig offal. Xiaoman, can you use all of them?"

Zheng Xiaoman took a big sip of water and put the bowl aside.

"Grandma, don't worry, I've used all of this up. And there may not be enough in the future.

By the way, next time people from other villages come to send pigs to the water, tell them that I also want the pig's head and trotters, twenty cents a pair."

"Okay, I'll remember this and tell them next time."

Old Mrs. Zheng agreed with a smile, then took the pig offal to the river to wash it.

Zheng Dashan also came out of the house and took the pig's head and trotters to have the hair permed.

There are so many things to braise today that both pots at home have to be used.

The next day, they parked in front of the restaurant again with more than a dozen jars of various sizes in their car.

This time, the waiter was much more enthusiastic when he saw them coming. "Hey, uncle, you are here. Please come in. I will call the shopkeeper over."

Seeing the waiter being so enthusiastic, Zheng Xiaoman felt relieved. It seemed that their dishes must have sold very well yesterday.

The three of them had just found a chair to sit down when Shopkeeper Bai and the waiter came over.

Shopkeeper Bai sat down opposite them and said with a smile, "Haha, I was just thinking that if you three don't come, I'll have someone go to your house to look for you."

Zheng Xiaoman also smiled and replied, "We agreed yesterday to come back today, so of course we won't break the promise. But looking at Shopkeeper Bai's expression, I think this dish must have sold well yesterday."

"Hahahaha, what the little girl said is right. This dish sold really well yesterday. So I plan to keep some more today. I wonder how much you brought here today?"

"Today we brought more than ten kilograms of pig heads, eighteen pig trotters, and a lot of pig offal. I just don't know how much you plan to take."

Shopkeeper Bai immediately said, "I want both the pig's head and the pig's trotters. As for the offal, I'll leave 20 kilograms for now."

Zhou Chunfeng and Old Man Zheng looked at each other in surprise. Xiaoman really was right.

"Okay, then please come over and help weigh it, little brother." Zheng Xiaoman smiled calmly at the little brother.

"No trouble, no trouble. I'll get the scale right away." The second brother smiled and waved his hand, then went to the backyard to get the scale and the empty jar.

Old Man Zheng and Zhou Chunfeng went over to help. Just as Zheng Xiaoman was about to go over with them, he was stopped by Manager Bai.

"Hold on, little friend. I have something else to discuss with you."

Zheng Xiaoman raised his eyebrows. Oh, the name has changed from "little girl" to "little friend".

"What can I do for you, shopkeeper?"

Shopkeeper Bai didn't beat around the bush. "My dear friend, are you interested in selling this recipe?"

Zheng Xiaoman had some guesses just now, so he was not too surprised when he heard the other party say this.

Shopkeeper Bai looked at her reaction and sighed in his heart that this little girl had great self-control.

"Boss Bai, you can see that we are just an ordinary small family. We make these dishes just to make some money.

I think you must have tried to make this pig head yourself yesterday, but it didn’t taste as good as ours, right?”

Shopkeeper Bai coughed lightly and unnaturally. He actually asked Chef Cao to try it yesterday, but he could not make the same taste.

Zheng Xiaoman smiled and continued, "It's not that I don't want to sell the recipe to you, but my family still needs to make money from this dish."

Shopkeeper Bai looked at her with a smile, "Don't you feel tired pushing the carts to the town to sell every day? How much money can you earn in a month?

If you sell me the recipe, I can give you fifty taels of silver at a time. With this silver, it should be enough for your family to use for a long time."

Zheng Xiaoman shook his head and said, "Boss, you are wrong. Although we work hard every day, we are doing a long-term business.

As long as no one can figure out my recipe, my family can continue to sell it like this.

As for the fifty taels of silver you mentioned, I can say that we can earn it back in less than a year. Do you believe it?"

Shopkeeper Bai found that he had underestimated this girl. She was right. As long as the recipe was in her hands, the business could continue.

It seems unlikely that he will be able to buy this recipe.

Seeing that Shopkeeper Bai didn't say anything, Zheng Xiaoman suddenly changed his tone and said, "Although I can't sell you the recipe for braised pork, I have several other recipes for cooking. I wonder if Shopkeeper Bai is interested?"

Shopkeeper Bai looked at her with a smile, "Oh? I wonder what dish you are talking about?"

"I can teach you how to make braised pig's trotters, pork intestines with spicy peppers, and stir-fried pig's head with soy sauce. I guarantee these are all ways of eating that you have never seen before."

Shopkeeper Bai had never heard of the dishes she was talking about. "Can you cook these dishes?"

"Of course, I can cook all these dishes. I can also make some for you to taste first."

Shopkeeper Bai agreed immediately, "Okay, then please make one for me to taste."

Zheng Xiaoman said, "Then please prepare the ingredients first, we have to go out of town to buy food, come back and cook when we come back."

"Okay, then I'll be ready and waiting for you to come over."

The waiter here also weighed the weight, and Manager Bai handed the money to Zhou Chunfeng.

After the three people left, Zhou Chunfeng asked her daughter, "Xiaoman, what did Shopkeeper Bai say to you just now?"

They were far away just now, so I didn't hear what they were talking about.

"Nothing, it's just that Shopkeeper Bai wants to buy our braised pork recipe."

"What?" Zhou Chunfeng cried out, "We can't sell this recipe. If we sell it, what will happen to our family in the future?"

Old Man Zheng also said, "Yes, Xiaoman, this recipe cannot be sold."
