You’re a fool if you don’t make money when you can.
See, heaven indeed favors the good-hearted.
She had just lost ten taels of silver, and in a blink, she earned it back with ten times the efficiency.
A whole 100 taels in silver notes. Never mind buying the recipe just to cook for her own family, even if he takes it to sell, she wouldn’t mind.
Gu Nian reached out to grab the silver, but Zheng Shaochen lifted his arm high, successfully putting it out of her reach.
"Tell me how it’s done first." Not that he feared this girl would be tricky and take the money without delivering, Zheng Shaochen purely wanted to tease her.
He also had a sister at home, but for some reason, he just found this little girl in front of him more interesting!
"Simple, follow me." Saying this, Gu Nian walked towards the kitchen.
Once she lit the fire to boil water, put the mixed batter in, took it out to cool in a bowl, she said, "It’s done. By noon or afternoon, it should be set."
Zheng Shaochen was dumbfounded and asked, "Just this?"
"Just this, why?" Gu Nian asked, obviously knowing the answer.
Zheng Shaochen furrowed his brows tightly, clicking his tongue, "Little girl, you have more potential as a shrewd merchant than I do!"
"You’re too kind." Gu Nian smiled unceremoniously and said, "Besides, I can’t be considered a shrewd merchant. This price was set by Mr. Zheng himself. I just thought it was feasible, so I sold the recipe."
"You’re right." Zheng Shaochen gritted his teeth with a smile, "But my 100 taels of silver can’t just be wasted, can it? I can promise you not to sell this in Qingshan Town to affect your family’s livelihood, but I should be able to sell it in other towns, right?"
If not for a moment of brashness and assuming such delicious food must have a complicated recipe, he would have only offered ten taels for such a simple batter method, no more.
Gu Nian deliberately thought for a moment and said, "Alright, considering the 100 taels of silver, do as you wish."
Even if she went to town to sell cold noodles, it wouldn’t be possible to earn a hundred taels that quickly.
So, this deal was truly profitable.
"Little girl, I heard from Wuxin that my cousin really likes your cooking?"
He didn’t understand. His cousin, pampered since childhood, not only as the Heir of King Nan’an but also with an emperor uncle doting on him, had chefs from all over Jiangnan catering to his preferences, even able to command imperial chefs at will. Could this girl truly have been talented enough in cooking to earn Wuxin’s admiration?
It’s known that officials line up at the prime minister’s doorstep, and although Wuxin and Wuming were officially just guards, many in office sought their favor and couldn’t get it.
Gu Nian couldn’t figure out Zheng Shaochen’s intention behind this question, so she feigned ignorance and replied, "I don’t know, does Young Master Nan really like my cooking? He has never told me!"
"Oh, then perhaps it’s my mistake." Saying this, Zheng Shaochen left.
Watching his back, Gu Nian pondered.
Nan Jin Yu’s cousin seemed flashy, completely opposite of Nan Jin Yu. She couldn’t quite figure out what kind of person he was!
Moreover, Nan Jin Yu carried an aura that clearly wasn’t ordinary, yet he settled in this small village. He couldn’t have come for her, right?
Even if those peaches revealed something, it wouldn’t be enough to make him invest so much, personally coming to deal with her, just a child? The most update n0vels are published on N0velFire.ɴet
While thinking, she saw Lin Pandi walk in, wearing the same clothes without changing, though, after so much time, they were nearly dry.
