Just after Dong Yong left, Laifushun also sent news to the Lu family. A master chef from Yangzhou was sent to say that he wanted to see the Lu family's fish dishes.

This time, it was Qiu and her eldest daughter Lu Xiaoqing who cooked the food.

It was the Xizaofang in Fushun. The mother and daughter were responsible for four dishes each, and eight long fish dishes were served to the table. Not to mention shopkeeper Li, even the chef from Yangzhou was shocked.

There is no way a country woman can make this dish.

This time, the Lu family was obviously prepared.

Different from the way they cooked the food last time, the Lu family not only pays attention to the color, flavor, but also the shape, utensil, intention, and nourishment.

The entire dish has been greatly improved.

Even the dishes made by a time-honored restaurant like Lai Fushun, which are considered to be calming treasures, were outshined by these eight long fish dishes.

What the Lu family said is absolutely correct. With just these eight dishes, we can launch a long fish banquet and raise the reputation of Lai Fushun to a few more steps on the original basis.

The master chef from Yangzhou also has the surname Li, but he is not from the same family as shopkeeper Li.

Master Li was a slave and was given the surname Li because his ancestors were loyal to his employer.

The slaves who can be given a surname by their master are not ordinary slaves in the mansion. Whether they or their descendants, they may become the confidants of the head of the mansion.

If done well and the master is kind, it is possible for them to be freed from slavery and become good citizens.

In this way, their descendants will be able to study and gain fame and honor their ancestors.

Of course, these slaves who were released to become good people did not have freedom from the world just because they were freed from slavery.

They will become the help of the host family, the host family will protect them, and they will feed the host family in return.

Shopkeeper Li, on the other hand, is from the Lai Fushun Dong family. He is from the same clan. Because of his outstanding performance, he was favored by Di Zhi and sent to Jiangjiaba as a small shopkeeper.

Of course, despite looking at this little shopkeeper, it is also because shopkeeper Li has this ability and ability.

The Li family has deep roots in Yangzhou, and not all members of the family are as wealthy as Lai Fushun's family. There are also members who are poor and rely on renting fields from the same clan or doing odd jobs to earn money.

Shopkeeper Li had a modest family background when he was young, but because of his surname, he was able to learn calligraphy for free at Li's school for several years.

And because he was a classmate of the young master of the Li family and was appreciated by the young master, he was able to successfully enter Laifu and follow a young boy to become the shopkeeper of the current branch.

Master Li looked at Shopkeeper Li, who was smiling and saying nothing, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart.

Shopkeeper Li is really lucky.

Being sent to a small place like Jiangjiaba to be a shopkeeper, I unexpectedly met someone with such outstanding craftsmanship.

Unfortunately, this credit went to Shopkeeper Li.

Maybe if it were any other shopkeeper, this woman and her two children would not even be able to come in through Fushun's door.

Not to mention, I was able to push these eight dishes in front of my boss.

This is Shopkeeper Li’s destiny, and it is also the blessing he gets from being a good person!

Although Master Li didn't say anything, he secretly reminded himself that no matter what happens in the future, he must have a good relationship with Shopkeeper Li.

The days are long, and maybe one day, Shopkeeper Li will be a man of great fortune!

Shopkeeper Li naturally didn't know that because of this incident, all the masters in Fushun Yangzhou looked at him differently.

Since the boss has sent Master Li to this matter, it is natural that Master Li has full authority to make the decision.

Master Li is naturally satisfied with the fish dish.

It was not just ordinary satisfaction, but more than 10% satisfaction, which made him wish he could follow Qiu and his daughter to learn these eight long fish dishes now.

However, shopkeeper Li refused the profit distribution proposed by the Lu family.

"It's hard to divide the profits. Lai Fushun has not only one store but two stores, but more than a dozen stores. It's already very troublesome to manage. But if we divide the profits from growing fish and vegetables, wouldn't it be too troublesome?"

Because Master Li is fat, his face is like a silver plate and his waist is like a full moon, he looks like a person with a very good temper.

He was like a pot-bellied Maitreya, smiling kindly: "However, when we come to Fushun, we will never let others suffer. I will make a decision for my boss, and I will give you two hundred taels of silver for these eight-way long fish recipe. From now on, this

Fang Zi will return to Fushun and cannot be resold to anyone else. Madam Lu, are you satisfied?"

Qiu didn't say anything, but glanced furtively at Lu Shenge, then lowered her head.

What can she say? Two hundred taels of silver is already a sky-high price to her.

With these two hundred taels of silver, you can buy land and build a house, and Xiaosi can avoid a lot of hardship by following them.

But she didn't have to say anything about this.

This recipe is not hers, but Xiaosi's.

When Master Qiu didn't say anything, Master Li felt a little unsure. He winked at Shopkeeper Li, meaning that you are more familiar with them, so it's better for you to talk about this matter.

Shopkeeper Li didn't seem to notice Master Li's eyes. He held the teapot with only one hand and lowered his eyes in silence.

"Mrs. Lu?" Master Li asked carefully, "Are you dissatisfied with the price?"

"Don't call me that, I...I'm not a lady either."

Mrs. Qiu's face turned red, feeling a little at a loss and confused.

Should she agree or not?

Lu Xiangge raised his head and asked with curiosity on his face: "Master Li, it's eight long fish dishes. Is it a total of 200 taels of silver?"

"Yes, there are eight recipes. Each one counts you 25 taels, a total of two hundred taels." Master Li held his fat belly with a smile on his face, very kindly, "The price is not high, but for your family to pay for it all at once

For Badao prescriptions, it’s not too low.”

"Yeah, it seems so."

Lu Sheige nodded, and instead of bargaining with Master Li, he stretched out his hand and gently tugged at the corner of Qiu's clothes, "Mom, how about we sell the recipe to Laifushun."

It seems that a child is ignorant and covets these two hundred taels of silver.

But Master Li always had a strange feeling that in this family, it seemed that the boy with the boss's horns was the one who had the final say.

"Then two hundred taels."

Seeing Mr. Qiu nodding, Master Li immediately beamed with joy and said, "That's what we said."

The boss said at the beginning that if the recipe is good, buy it. It is impossible to divide the profit. There is no such rule. The price for the purchase of the recipe has been agreed upon in advance, with a minimum of fifty taels and a maximum of three hundred taels.

But these eight long fish dishes were surprisingly good. Master Li said that the two hundred was just a test to give the other party room to bargain.

Unexpectedly, this woman would actually listen to a child and agreed without even saying the price.

You know, if they really go by the split they originally said, it won't be two or three hundred taels in a year.

The other party agreed, and Master Li was naturally full of joy. He spent the least money and got the best prescription. He will definitely be rewarded by his employer when he goes back.

"Isn't two hundred taels a little small?"

Unexpectedly, it was shopkeeper Li who had an objection. He said politely, "Sister-in-law of the Lu family, how about you guys negotiate the price again?"
