Moreover, killing her was impossible. She wouldn’t kill him, and he should be grateful for that.

“You clearly robbed me…” Manager Duan felt that these fifty taels were a great injustice.

Su Qingyue didn’t think so. “You’re just being ungrateful. Your restaurant does good business in the town, and it’s not like you’re going to lose face over just a few dozen taels.”

After listening, even though Manager Duan was bitter about the loss, he couldn’t really argue. “Indeed, it’s only valuable because others don’t know the secret.”

Su Qingyue waited for half an hour, and after the chef had cooked the stir-fried tasty fern with a similar taste to hers, her task was completed. She happily touched the fifty taels of silver in her sleeve pocket as she walked out of the kitchen, while Manager Duan was sulking with a look of massive loss of blood, constantly complaining about how the chef didn’t think of soaking the fern in cold water.

Seeing his grief over the silver, Qingyue, feeling generous since she had made some money, kindly said, “Tell your chef that adding a few drops of yellow rice wine during the frying process will enhance the flavor of the fern. You should sell as much stir-fried fern as possible, soon. Besides, other restaurants are definitely researching how to cook the fern as well. If they can’t figure it out, the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, with its reputation as the world’s number one building, will have chefs that can. It won’t be long before you have competition in selling stir-fried fern. However, even if the others figure it out, you will still share the market, and they won’t reveal the recipe because they want to make money too. By next year, when the fern is in season again, most chefs will know how to cook it. It will no longer be valuable then, so you can only profit from it for the rest of this month. After that, the fern will be out of season.”

Manager Duan hadn’t thought about it that deeply and suddenly found himself dumbfounded. “I don’t want to buy your recipe anymore…”

“The deal is done, and no returns are accepted. I’ll remind you again, Manager Duan, to hurry up and sell the stir-fried fern while others haven’t figured it out and it’s still in season. You won’t lose money, and it will even boost your business in selling other wine and dishes. If you end up losing money, you’ll become a fool. You will make money.” She smiled and left.

Helping Manager Duan make some money was fine. If he gets too greedy and sets the price of stir-fried fern too high, other people won’t come to his restaurant and will think that the other dishes in his restaurant are expensive as well. If he isn’t that greedy and sets a reasonable price for the stir-fried fern, he will really make money, and it will have a ripple effect.

In any case, it was none of her business anymore.

After leaving the Rich Source Tavern, she happily touched the five silver ingots in her bag from time to time as she walked along. Silver ingots come in different sizes, and hers were ten taels per ingot! She had never been so rich after her time-travel. It was exhilarating to make so much money at once!

Thinking it over, she followed the memory of her second and third brothers taking her to the town to buy cloth for clothes and located the cloth shop where Third Brother usually purchased goods.

It was a cloth shop located in a remote street in the town. Third Brother said the shop owner was called Lady Li.

As soon as she entered the cloth shop carrying an empty basket, Lady Li saw her ugly face and was so startled that she almost screamed.

“Don’t be scared, I’m human,” Su Qingyue said calmly, her voice clear and melodious like a songbird.

Although Qingyue had been here before, Lady Li didn’t recognize her because of the green ointment on her face. “Who are you?”

“Xiao Yuchuan’s wife.”

Lady Li stared at her and finally recognized her. “Oh, the wife of the Xiao family. Oh, you can talk now?”

“Yes.”
