She stopped and snorted coldly, “I said I’d sell it to you, and it’s thirty taels without a cent less.”

“I apologize for my behavior just now. I didn’t disrespect you…” Manager Duan lowered his face, he was a merchant, thirty taels was not a small amount, originally it only cost twenty taels, and it was too expensive to buy a recipe for one dish. Apologizing could save him ten taels, which was more cost-effective than saving face.

Su Qingyue was determined, “Unfortunately, the injured heart needs ten taels of silver to repair. Spare me the nonsense.”

“Crude village girl…” Manager Duan really didn’t want to buy the village girl’s recipe anymore, but lately, several VIPs wanted to eat this dish. If he didn’t have it, they probably wouldn’t come to his restaurant for dinner. He gritted his teeth, and he was also good at calculating, “In that case, I’ll give you thirty taels, but you can’t sell the stir-fried tasty fern recipe to anyone else.”

“I was planning to sell it to countless people and make a big profit. Your request is different in terms of price.” She directly named a number, “Fifty taels. No less.” “How many stir-fried fern dishes do I have to sell to make back fifty taels? It’s just a vegetable dish, no matter how rare, it’s only fifteen cents. My store can only sell thirty bowls a day, so I can only sell four hundred and fifty cents a day. And I have to deduct the cost, so when can I make back the initial investment?”

“In that case.” Su Qingyue quickly calculated, “You sell four hundred and fifty cents a day, one tael of silver is equal to eight hundred cents, so you spent fifty

taels to buy the recipe, which is forty thousand cents, it takes you 88 days to make it back. Deducting the labor costs, it will take you 100 days to make back the money. With that, I’ll stop selling the stir-fried fern since I got tired of it, and I’ll give you a big profit method. Starting from tomorrow, I won’t sell the stir-fried fern anymore, and I won’t tell anyone the recipe. You let the chef cook a few big pots of stir-fried tasty fern at the entrance of your restaurant every day, only your restaurant in town has this skill, it will sell very well, and it will not be a problem to sell hundreds of bowls a day. Moreover, everyone will come to your place specifically to eat the stir-fried tasty fern that can only be found in your restaurant, and they will order other dishes, and the other wine and dishes will sell more. Even if the fern doesn’t make money, you’ll still earn a lot, maybe it will only take 10 to 15 days to make back the investment. The combined effect cannot be underestimated, and your restaurant business will be booming soon!”

“It sounds good…” Manager Duan glanced at her in surprise, “Your method is good, calculating so fast… Could it be that you can read?”

“That’s none of your business. Buy it or not, it’s up to you.” She impatiently started to leave.

“What if you go back on your word and sell the recipe to someone else?

Compensate me double the silver taels?”

“And compensate double the money? You really can think. What if I teach your chef, and it’s your chef who tells others, and then you falsely accuse me?” Su Qingyue said indifferently, “I promise you I will never tell anyone. I am just a weak girl, and I have already taken Manager Duan’s money, so there is no need to be at odds with you. On the contrary, you can resell the recipe and make money from it. But once you teach someone else, there won’t be many people coming to your place for the stir-fried fern dish, and you won’t be able to sell it at a high price. You’d better keep the recipe for yourself. Hurry up and cook the dish and make money, earning big every day. To be honest, I don’t have a luxurious restaurant like yours. The fern dish you sell in your restaurant can be expensive, while I can only sell it in the market. People rely on clothes, and horses rely on saddles; I can’t sell it at a high price in the vegetable market, so I have to sell it to you with a heavy heart. If I had a good restaurant to run, I would use this method myself..”
