âI set the price considering Jin Xunâs status.â she said, âManager Duan wants to compete with Jin Xun, so naturally a higher price is acceptable. Even if he doesnât buy it, I wonât lose anything.â
Xiao Yishanâs eyes flashed with doubt, âYueâer, did Jin Xun also ask you to buy the recipe for braised pigâs large intestine? Is it possible that he might offer a higher price?â
Before Qingyue could answer, Xiao Qinghe spoke, âSecond Brother, youâre overthinking it. Boss Jin didnât even mention the recipe for braised pigâs large intestine. Itâs Qingyueâs first time selling it in the market, and Jin probably doesnât even know about it.â
Su Qingyue followed up, âEven if he knows, he basically wonât buy it.â
All three men looked puzzled.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She explained, âDrunken Immortal Pavilion has a reputation as the worldâs number one building, with branches in many cities and towns and countless excellent chefs. They didnât even bother to ask about my stir-fried fern recipe and would rather let their chefs take their time to develop it. As for the braised pigâs large intestine recipe, theyâd definitely prefer to develop it themselves. After all, itâs not a big challenge for Drunken Immortal Pavilion, only a matter of time. Besides, their dishes are very expensive and unaffordable for average people, mainly targeting high-income customers. They wouldnât have bothered to sell fried fern if it hadnât become popular in Se.â She smiled and continued, âBraised pigâs large intestine is offal, which is considered lowly in the eyes of some noble people. I dare say that, just because of the pigâs offal, Jin Xun wouldnât buy the recipe. Of course, when I tricked the boss of Rich Source Tavern, I whispered it privately. He wouldnât know that Jin Xun wouldnât bid against him.â
âWifeâ¦â Xiao Yuchuan pointed to his chin, his eyes shining brightly, âYour analysis is so thorough.â
Admiration appeared in the eyes of both Xiao Yishan and Xiao Qinghe.
Xiao Yishan asked, âYueâer, what did Jin Xun want you to do at Jin Residence?â
âOh, I caught a thief in town earlier. The thief took several moneybags, including Boss Jinâs. I returned the moneybags to their owners but I couldnât find Boss Jin. There were many people around, so I reported my name and the owner of the moneybag could claim it at any time.â She said casually, âBoss Jin then sent a servant to invite me to his mansion.â
When it came to this matter, she was so angry that all her internal organs ached.
Five thousand silver notes were in her hands and then just flew awayâ¦
Her eyes filled with tears, she had nowhere to vent her pain.
All she could do was swallow the blood and tears from her broken teeth.
âSo thatâs what happened.â Xiao Yishan looked at her uneasily, âYueâer, donât be so impulsive in the future. Youâre a woman, donât catch thieves. In case you get injured, it would be bad.â
âI might not even bother with such a matter.â She said helplessly, âIt just so happened that the damn thief stole my moneybag.â
âYes, wife.â Xiao Yuchuan also looked worried,â Itâs fine if your moneybag was stolen, but itâs not wise for a woman to fight with a thief. In case you get injured or something happens, how could I go on living?â
âAlright, alright.â She waved her hand, âItâs all in the past, letâs not talk about it anymore.â
Xiao Qinghe noticed that his wife reported every expense in great detail, but did not mention the eighty taels of silver in cashâ¦converted from the osmanthus cakes she got from Jin Residence.
He figured that his wife probably wanted to save some private money.
As she should.
