However, after noticing the gazes of other people in the third room, Duan Yulang's suspicion turned into confirmation. This family was clearly on guard against him, and there was no countryman's honesty.
"Cough!" Duan Yulang coughed uncomfortably, "I don't want to be lying. Since I came to your door, I have also investigated your home. I also found out where the chestnuts are. But in addition to sugar-roasted chestnuts,
I also want to buy recipes, as long as Miss Bai has a good recipe, the price is not a problem."
Duan Yulang stopped beating around the bush. Since Bai Ling was obviously the master of the third house, he might as well have a happy talk with the real owner.
Bai Ling rolled his eyes indecently, pointed to the dining table and said, "Master Duan, you eat more than our whole family by yourself, can you settle the bill first?"
Duan Yulang's face burned, he took out a ten-tael banknote from his sleeve pocket, gritted his teeth and said, "Ten-tael silver, is that enough?"
Bai Ling picked up the bank note and looked at it. After confirming that it was genuine, he raised the corners of his lips slightly and said in a brisk tone: "Young Master Duan is an open-minded person. We can talk about Fang Zi's matter."
Although Duan Yulang didn't know what else Bai Ling would do, he did get the recipe for stir-fried chestnuts with sugar and hot pot.
But when Bai Ling dictated the two prescriptions, Duan Yulang felt that his two hundred taels of silver were wasted, and the most he could do was listen to them.
"Is it that simple?" Duan Yulang asked unwillingly.
Everyone in the three rooms nodded in unison, but Bai Ling didn't have any secrets in what he said.
"Bai Ling, you must have been a fox in your last life." Duan Yulang grinded his teeth.
"Thank you for the compliment." Bai Ling nodded in a good mood, pointing to the dipping sauce on the table and said: "The sugar-roasted chestnuts are just sold fresh and will be copied soon, but Mr. Duan can also make a small profit.
It can also attract some new customers, so it is a winner no matter what. As for this hot pot, there are many kinds of soup bases, and the soup and dipping sauce are the magic weapons to win."
"You're hiding something?" Duan Yulang's face darkened, feeling bad about being teased.
"No." Bai Ling shook his head and said with a smile: "The document clearly states that what I sold to Master Duan was bone soup hot pot, and the recipe is indeed bone soup hot pot."
"What about the other soup bases? Where are the dipping sauces?" Duan Yulang felt like he was going to vomit blood.
"I haven't tried other hot pots, so I don't have any recipe to sell to Mr. Duan for the time being. As for the dipping sauce..." Bai Ling smiled and said, "It's separate. Mr. Duan can ask me to buy it."
Bai Ling twirled his fingers, looking like he was rich and easy to discuss.
Duan Yulang's eyes became darker and darker, but after seeing Bai Ling silently say the word "reputation", Duan Yulang was like a deflated ball, instantly wilting.
"The price of the dipping sauce has also been determined, and it can only be sold to our family in the future." Duan Yulang said weakly.
"As long as Mr. Duan can protect our family, there will be no problem." Bai Ling smiled softly. This was her ultimate goal.
Sooner or later, Sanfang will have to show off its talents. Without a backer, it can easily be destroyed by powerful people and nothing will be left.
"It's a deal, let's talk about the price." Duan Yulang said, and was about to write another document.
"Master Duan, wait a minute." Bai Ling pressed the paper and said with a smile: "For such a big thing as opening a hotpot restaurant, Master Duan should discuss it with his family to determine how big it will be, and then talk to me about the dipping sauce.
I now know how much ground to spread, and it’s not too late to talk about the price.”
"I am the master!" Duan Yulang picked up the pen and said boldly: "Just tell me the price."
"Okay, let's just assume that Young Master Duan can do it. But for such a big thing, our family should calculate the cost and then discuss the price, right?" Bai Ling snatched the brush from Duan Yulang's hand and said,
He made a gesture of invitation and said: "It's really getting late, Master Duan should hurry back for supper. Go slowly, I won't send you off."
Waving the banknote in his hand, Bai Ling hurriedly chased him away.
"What do you mean by 'just assuming' that I can be the master? Could it be that Miss Bai looks down on me?" Duan Yulang's face was dark, and he looked at Bai Ling extremely unhappy, with a bit of sadness in his eyes.
"It's because I don't know a few words and can't speak, and Master Duan is a lot."
Bai Ling went down to the ground, grabbed Duan Yulang's sleeve and dragged him out.
"We farmers have a lot of things to do, so we won't leave Master Duan to chat with us. At least it will take a month to see the results of the dipping sauce. Master Duan's hot pot restaurant will also take a month or two to open. Let's wait until after the new year.
It’s too late to talk.”
After Duan Yulang was pushed out of the door, he still looked in disbelief that he would be kicked out one day.
Inside the room, Bai Sanshu and others looked at Bai Ling with strange expressions, which made Bai Ling feel a little uncomfortable.
"Um..." Bai Ling pointed at his finger and stood awkwardly on the ground, trying to explain his rude behavior.
"Second sister, you are so handsome!" Bai Wei looked at Bai Ling with admiration, jumped out of bed, took Bai Ling's arm and said, "With a few words, I earned more than two hundred taels of silver, but...
Don’t delay our chestnut selling business. The most important thing is that there is a long-term cooperative business. How do you have so many ways to make money?"
"Just thinking about it." Bai Ling explained dryly. He wanted to give an excuse about meeting a god or a master, but he couldn't find the answer.
"Second sister, I will also learn skills from you in the future, make more money to honor my parents, and buy a lot of delicious food for Xiaoshan." Bai Xing looked at Bai Ling with stars in her eyes, she was so cute.
"And I, I am better than the second sister, and I will support the second sister." Bai Xiaoshan said, clenching his fists.
"Okay, you only have the second sister in your eyes, what about me, the third sister?" Bai Wei pouted deliberately and looked at her siblings with her hands on her hips.
"It's fine, Third Sister." Bai Xing immediately expressed her position.
"Yeah." Bai Xiaoshan nodded vigorously.
"You are so old, and you are still competing with the little carrot head, you are not ashamed." Pinch the tip of Bai Wei's nose, Bai Ling said with a smile: "Mom and dad, there are some things I don't know what to say, wait for me
I’ll tell you after I’ve thought about it.”
"Second girl, just make sure you know what's going on. Your parents will believe you," Bai Liu said hurriedly.
Bai Sanshu remembered the unpleasantness he had caused before and nodded: "Second girl, you are the one who makes the decision in the family. You can do whatever you want. If your parents need it, speak up. Don't be polite to your own family."
"Thank you, Mom and Dad." Bai Ling thanked her sincerely. Having such a family was the biggest blessing for her to travel through time.
Duan Yulang's visit gave Bai Ling another thought. In the future, he would be able to leave more dowry skills to his sisters, so as to ensure their future happiness.
No matter what age, a woman's financial independence will affect her status in the family.
In fact, there aren't that many ways to make dipping sauces. Many things are easy to figure out, but fermented fermented bean curd and seafood sauce can be kept secret for a period of time, which is enough for them to make a name for themselves.
In the next half month, Bai Ling devoted all his attention to making seasonings, and brought Bai Wei and Bai Xing with him to participate in the whole process.
However, busy life is not peaceful. There are always people who want to cause trouble for you.
Brothers Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu picked a lot of chestnuts, and deliberately followed Bai Sanshu and his wife for a while, and actually let them find the blacksmith shop that made the chestnut roasting machine, and built an identical one.
It would be fine if these two families wanted to make money, but they just had a ring next to the stall of Mr. and Mrs. Bai Sanshu. The price was five cents per pound, and they robbed most of the Bai family's customers. (To be continued)
