Lin Qingqian did not fight any affection, nor did he ask for repayment with kindness.

She relies on her strength and she has this confidence.

Zuifeng Tower is a big restaurant in Pingyang City. As a restaurant’s signature dish, it must have its own characteristics.

She went to the kitchen with Chuxin and Wenxin, and checked the ingredients first, which could also determine the essence of the food.

Zuifeng Tower is worthy of being a big restaurant. There are many kinds of ingredients in the kitchen, including flying in the sky, running on the ground, and some in the water.

"Miss, you can tell me orally, I will do it." Wen Xin suggested softly.

Lin Qingqian shook her head. Since she wanted to sell the recipe, she had to show sincerity. The same dish, after passing through the hands of different people, would have a much worse taste. Wen Xin had never made the dish she wanted to cook, so it would be better for her to get started directly.

"Young master's friend, how can I cook in person?" Lin Qingqian used a small kitchen. The chefs and friends who prepared dishes in the big kitchen couldn't help but gossip.

"Is it because I want to please Mr. Ninth?" someone murmured in a low voice.

"If you are idle, wash the vegetables for me." The chef scolded, Humph, can the servants discuss about the matter of the master? Even if Miss Lin wants to please Mr. Ninth, she will get the master's consent. Otherwise, would anyone in the kitchen be able to come in?

When Lin Qingqian came, he thought about the dishes he wanted to cook.

She likes spicy food and prefers coriander and Sichuan cuisine. Unfortunately, there is no chili in this era, so Sichuan cuisine and Hunan cuisine are basically excluded.

Pingyang City has a humid climate, and too light foods often cannot arouse people's appetite. Therefore, the dishes you choose must be unique.

While the many people in the kitchen were waiting pickyly, the aroma of the food rose and slapped the dry man in the face.

In the restaurant's private room, Huo Jiucen was also slowly trying the dishes. Lin Jingxing sat opposite him, his face as usual, but he was a little nervous: Whether he could buy a shop depends on the ten dishes on the table.

"The plum cake has three inches of bones, the meat is tender and juicy, and it produces saliva in the mouth, and the plum fragrance is rich." Lin Qing explained lightly.

Huo Jiucen tasted it with a faint smile, but did not comment.

"The fragrant crispy rice rolls are made into slags in the mouth and the fragrance is everywhere."

.........

Ten dishes, ten flavors, both meat and vegetable, and are very suitable for restaurants.

"How do you plan to sell it?" After tasting all the ten dishes, Huo Jiucen finally put down the chopsticks in his hand.

"The first eight dishes are eighty taels, and the next two medicinal foods are one hundred and fifty taels." Lin Qing quoted the price lightly.

The price is not low. Huo Jiucen didn't speak, but just looked at Lin Qingqian with a smile.

"One or two silver must not be left." Lin Qingqian's tone became even lighter.

"Did Miss Lin treat me as a money tree?" Huo Jiucen asked lazily.

"The price is clearly marked. If the Ninth Master thinks the price is not suitable, he can refuse." He really refused.

Huo Jiuchen...

Although Lin Qingqian was happy, Huo Jiucen could guess what she meant. She didn't want the recipe for clearly marked price, Zuifenglou, she could sell it to others. This girl seemed to have no regard for the relationship between the two families.

Yes, with Lin Qingqian's intelligence, it should have been long since seen that his care for the Lin family was only based on An Zelin's nephew.

An Zelin is the eldest and great-grandson of the An family. If something happens to the outside family, the An family will definitely hold a grudge against the Huo family because of this. Even Huo Qingyue, the wife of the old grandson, will not be well off. She may fall out of favor in the An family forever.

The Huo family is not afraid of An’s family, but Pingyang is far from the south of the Yangtze River. Even if An’s family is not good to Huo Qingyue, the Huo family will be out of reach...

Huo Jiucen's thoughts drifted a little far away.

Lin Qingqian is not an annoying person. She asked lightly, "Is it okay to order two dishes and serve a few bowls of rice?"

Because of Huo Jiucen, they were in a private room and had dinner in a private room and only ordered two dishes, which seemed a bit unreasonable. Without the business negotiations, Lin Qingqian could not leave, otherwise it would be like shaking his face to show Huo Jiucen.

"Six dishes." Huo Jiuchen came to his senses and said with a smile, "Why do you have to pay for it out of your own pocket when you come to your house?"

The implication is that if the business fails, both parties will still be friends.

Lin Jingxing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It’s not that he wanted to take advantage of it. The Lin family had settled in Pingyang City and was still well taken care of by the Huo family recently. He didn’t want to offend the Huo family because of business.

"We took advantage of it." Lin Qingqian did not refuse.

"Ten dishes, I bought them at Zuifenglou." Huo Jiucen suddenly spoke, "I'll let the shopkeeper get you the money later."

Why did you buy it suddenly?

"I thought the girl would want Zuifenglou's stockings." Huo Jiucen laughed.

"I'm not interested in the restaurant." Lin Qing answered lightly.

Huo Jiucen was stunned. The answer was not as expected. He thought Lin Qingqian would be humble or express her favor to the Huo family in a tactful way.

"Does the Ninth Master know which tooth shop in Pingyang City is the most realistic?" Lin Qingqian asked.

Huo Jiucen looked at her in confusion.

"I want to buy a shop." Some things don't have to be hidden, and they can't be concealed. It's better to speak up happily.

"Do you want to buy a property in Pingyang City?" Huo Jiuchen asked in surprise, "Which location do you want to buy it? Do you have a favorite shop?"

That gossip looks like a noble young man.

"I have already liked two small shops that want to open a small shop that sells snacks, but I wonder if the other party is willing to sell them?" Lin Qingqian replied with a smile, "It's more convenient to find a broker."

"Yes." Huo Jiuchen did not give too many ideas about buying a shop. "The house near the government office is the largest, and the business is the most stable, and never deceives customers."

"Thank you." Lin Jingxing bowed politely to thank him.

Huo Jiucen smiled lightly, and the atmosphere seemed to have returned to the past.

As the owner of Zuifenglou, even though the relationship between the two families was not as close as expected, Huo Jiucen was not stingy in the lunchtime.

The ones served were indeed six dishes, all of which were hard dishes, and they were all signature dishes of Zuifenglou.

The use of seasonings makes the dishes more delicious and diversified. After Lin Qingqian ate them, he looked at Zuifenglou a little more. The ancients were not as dull and stupid as modern people. Simple ingredients could also make amazing dishes.

When I think about it carefully, she came to Zuifenglou to sell recipes, but in fact, she took advantage of the seasonings.

With the money in hand, Lin Qingqian and Lin Jingxing were much more confident. After dinner, the two of them came to the Yashang recommended by Huo Jiucen.

The brokers in the tooth shop were indeed very dedicated. After listening to their request, they recommended several shops to them.

Lin Qingqian followed him to see a place. The location was pretty good, better than the location she saw at the beginning. However, Lin Qingqian was still not satisfied. The same old saying goes, shops selling snacks require popularity, and people live in ordinary families all around them. More importantly, there are no decent inns around the neighborhood.

"Sister, come back tomorrow. It's too late today." Lin Jingxing stopped her.

Lin Qingqian looked at the sky and nodded.

The brother and sister agreed to the broker that they would come and go to see the shops elsewhere tomorrow.

"Master, they want to buy a shop when they go to the city." What Lin Qingqian and Lin Jingxing didn't know was that after they left, someone immediately went to Yaxing to find out about them.

When Lin Qingqian and Lin Jingxing returned home, Lin Yuan and his wife asked a few questions. After learning that they had sold the recipe and got some money, they were all sighing.

Lin Qingqian frowned after returning to the room alone. Today, he got nearly a thousand taels of silver for selling recipes, and the amount of more than one hundred and fifty taels of silver in his hand seemed to be quite large. But if you want to buy a shop in a prosperous area, the money is still not enough.

Selling the recipe again? She doesn't want to.

Do you really want to rent a shop?

Well, if the money is really not enough, you can only settle for the second time and rent a house. If you keep looking forward, you will not be able to do anything.

The next day, the brother and sister entered the city together.

"Young master, girl, it's hard to find a shop on the street with a lot of traffic. It's a coincidence that there happened to be a place here. The shop is still open now, but a few days ago, the shopkeeper came over and asked me to find a buyer or tenant. The shopkeeper is a foreigner, and something happened to be in trouble at home and wants to go back to his hometown. The shopkeeper is good, but the price is only about the price..." Speaking of this, the broker stared at them with his eyes.

The Lin brother and sister were wearing new clothes, but the materials were ordinary and not outstanding. The shops in the bustling areas were quite expensive, and I don’t know if they could eat them.

"Look at it first." The broker told the news that Lin Qingqian was indeed insufficient in money, but she was not panicked either.

"Cheng, young master, girl, please." The broker agreed with a smile.

The shop is indeed a good shop. It was originally a small tavern selling wine. It was not too far from Zuifeng Tower, but it was not too close. The two shops could see it just by turning a corner. What satisfied Lin Qingqian and Lin Jingxing the most was that there was a small courtyard behind the shop. There were three main houses, three side rooms, and a large kitchen. A well was dug in the courtyard.

Such a shop can sell things in the front and live in the backyard.

If you can buy it, you can stay in the city in the future, and the people who guard the store can also have a place to live.

However, the price of such a large shop should not be low.

"How much money?" Lin Qingqian didn't go around in circles. She made up her mind that if the money could not be collected, she would rent it directly.

"The shopkeeper was in a hurry to leave and asked for five thousand taels of silver."

Five thousand taels of silver? Lin Jingxing was dumb. This silver was a huge sum of money for the Lin family.

The broker is the best at speaking and acting according to people's faces. He smiled bitterly, "This street is the most prosperous area in Pingyang City, and there is an extra yard in the backyard. You guys have also seen it. The yard is quite large. If the arch is sealed and it is a house with an exclusive yard, you can still rent it out in front."

One sum of money is equivalent to buying a residence and a shop, which is really cost-effective.

"How to rent it?" Lin Qingqian would not make him fat.

"If you rent it, you will be 70 taels of silver a month." The broker replied with a smile.

Seventy taels of silver per month, and eight hundred and four in a year. In nearly six years, you can buy this shop with rent. It’s not cost-effective!

"Why is the rent so expensive?" Lin Jingxing asked in surprise.

"The shopkeeper's ancestral home is far away from here, so it is not easy to collect rent. It is necessary to spend money on the way back and forth."

That's the reason! Lin Qingqian can understand it, but she feels aggrieved psychologically. She knows that buying it is the most cost-effective, but she doesn't have the money in her hand. How can she not feel sad?
