Manager Duan fell silent for a moment, his facial expression seemed to show that he was tempted.

Su Qingyue continued to persuade, “If you don’t buy it, I’ll ask other restaurants one by one and see if they think it’s worthwhile.” She took a step and was about to leave.

After thinking about it, Manager Duan finally said, “Fine, fifty taels it is! You must not disclose the recipe to a second person.”

“No problem.”

“You go and teach my chef…”

“Give me the money first.” She stood without moving.

“As if I would default on you. Fifty taels is no small sum, let me fetch it from the counter.” Manager Duan walked away for a moment and returned.

Su Qingyue weighed the five silver ingots Manager Duan gave her, they seemed to be about ten taels per ingot. However, she still weighed them with the vegetable scale, and the five ingots together were exactly fifty taels. Holding the heavy silver ingots, her blood pressure suddenly soared, and she couldn’t remain calm!

Fifty taels! Such a large sum for a poor person like her! Even though she used to be wealthy, that was all in her past life. In this life, she finally made her first bucket of gold thanks to her eloquent tongue and clever head.

She had always dreamt that after time-traveling, she would quickly make a fortune with her medical skills, but no one believed in her medical abilities. She didn’t want to kill and steal, thinking her miserable death in her previous life was probably because she had done too many bad things.

Making money honestly, she often couldn’t make ends meet from day to day.

Su Qingyue always believed that even relying on her own hands and wisdom, she could live a wealthy life.

Although she sold the fried fern recipe for fifty taels, it was also because over the past few days, she had been selling stir-fried fern, which was well-liked by everyone, that attracted Manager Duan’s attention and earned her the money for the recipe.

Seeing Su Qingyue’s greedy eyes when she saw the silver taels, Manager Duan felt like snatching the money back, believing he had offered too much.

Su Qingyue quickly pocketed all the silver ingots in her sleeve, then followed Manager Duan to the restaurant kitchen.

Manager Duan drove out all the female cooks and head chefs from the kitchen, leaving only one Chef. Su Qingyue saw that there were still many fresh ferns in the kitchen, and the Chef had just finished cooking a dish of ferns.

The Chef tasted it, “Girl, I don’t know why, but my stir-fried fern has a bitter taste… If I cook it for too long, it loses its freshness. If I cook it for a short time, the bitter taste won’t go away.”

“Tell me all the steps and ingredients for making stir-fried tasty fern.”

After listening to the Chef, Su Qingyue said indifferently, “The steps and ingredients are correct, but before frying, you need to slightly scald the fern in boiling water first. The only missing step is to soak the scalded fern in cold water for half an hour. The taste will be exactly like mine.”

“Is it that simple?” The Chef couldn’t believe it.

Manager Duan’s face was also full of disbelief, “Didn’t you say outside that it’s a special method to remove the bitterness, which is very expensive…”

“If I didn’t say that, how could I charge so much?” Su Qingyue gave him a glance, “I believe that soaking it in cold water is expensive, although it sounds dead simple, nobody else knows about it. What I sell is – other people’s ignorance!”

“Expensive… way too expensive!” Manager Duan regretted it so much that he wanted to snatch the fifty taels back.

Su Qingyue saw his unwillingness, “Unless you kill me, you won’t get the fifty taels back. If you back out, I will not only ruin the reputation of your Rich Source Tavern, but I will also go to the government office to accuse you of robbery, ensuring that you, Manager Duan, end up in jail.”
