When Li Chunsheng heard that Old Madam Su was going to look for someone else, he understood the firmness of her attitude and also understood that she was intentionally trying to pull the Li family in. He had to be ungrateful.

Li Chunsheng said seriously: "Aunt, I understand that you want to help my family, and I cannot be ungrateful. I would like to thank you here first." Then he stood up and bowed to Old Mrs. Su.

Old Lady Su hurriedly pulled Li Chunsheng up. She really wanted to help the Li family. After spending some time with them, she realized that Li Chunsheng was a good kid, not to mention the Li family.

Su An Dong knew the method of saltpetering leather, and he could have passed the method to his two brothers and let them do it. But firstly, the Su family already had a lot of work to do, and the daily farm work and miscellaneous work were enough to keep the family busy. Secondly, they really wanted to help the Li family.

Li Chunsheng sat down and continued, "You also said that this is a long-term project and the quantity will be large, so the price naturally cannot be the price you mentioned. You want to help me, and I can't let you suffer a loss. Five cents per skin will be enough."

Old Lady Su and the others actually already had a suitable price in mind, but they knew that no matter how much they offered, Li Chunsheng would think it was too much, so they offered a slightly higher price.

"5 cents won't do, it's too low. 8 cents!"

Li Chunsheng: "How about 6 cents?"

Su Yuanyuan couldn't help laughing and said, "Everyone else is asking for a high price, while the other one is trying to lower it. But we are different. One of us is asking for a low price, while the other one is trying to raise it. Others are afraid of being at a disadvantage, but we are afraid that the other party will be at a disadvantage."

When they heard Yuanyuan's words, they couldn't help laughing.

Old Lady Su made the final decision: "How about this! 7 cents is not high. If the quantity is not large, I'm afraid you will suffer a loss."

"No loss, no loss. I'll listen to you. 7 cents."

The matter was settled. Li Hongmei learned about it that day.

Li Hongmei went to Old Lady Su to express her gratitude. She knew that this was her husband's family helping her parents. She had seen the rabbit skins that Su Anton had nitrated a few days ago, and she knew that Su Anton could do it.

Li Hongmei said to Mrs. Su: "Mother, thank you and my third brother. I know you are doing this specially to help my family."

Mrs. Su was very satisfied that Li Hongmei knew her intentions: "I think Chunsheng is a good kid. He is diligent and studious, hardworking, and can endure hardships. Most importantly, he has good character. Otherwise, I can't trust him with confidence."

Li Hongmei was so happy when she heard her mother-in-law praising her younger brother. After so many years, there was finally someone in her family who could make her proud.

Li Hongmei: "Anyway, thank you, mother and third brother. Don't worry, I will let him do his best."

Old Madam Su nodded and said, "Chunsheng is the child. I am relieved."

When Li Hongmei returned to her parents' home, she told her family what Old Lady Su had said.

After hearing this, Mrs. Li felt mixed emotions. She had such a good son, but in the end, he had become a burden to the family.

Mrs. Li had already agreed with Li Chunsheng not to tell Li Hongmei about Li Chunsheng's original thoughts. What would happen if she told him? It would only make more people angry.

Early the next morning, Su Anton drove a mule cart with his wife and children to the county. The purpose of this trip to the county was to sell the rabbit meat.

Several people went straight to Dingshun Restaurant, a famous restaurant in the county.

After entering the restaurant, the few of them did not rush to find the shopkeeper to explain their purpose, but directly ordered a few dishes and started eating.

Speaking of this Dingshun Restaurant, Su An Dong had been there before, but not the current Su An Dong, but the Su An Dong in the past. But some memories are still there.

After the dishes came, several people started eating.

Su Zhihao: "Don't mention it, the food in this restaurant is quite delicious."

Zhou Huilan nodded in agreement: "It's really good, otherwise the business wouldn't be so good."

A few people just ate their meal quietly without taking any further action.

After the meal, Su Anton called the waiter to settle the bill.

After settling the bill, Su An Dong said directly: "I have a business deal that I want to discuss with your shopkeeper. Please call the shopkeeper over."

The waiter looked at Su An Dong and his companions. They were all dressed in ordinary clothes. But judging from the dishes they had just ordered and the way they had just paid, they were not short of money. So he replied, "Please wait a moment, sir."

The waiter found the shopkeeper and explained the situation truthfully.

After a while, the shopkeeper of Dingshun Restaurant came to Su Andong. In the shopkeeper's mind, as long as he walked in, he was a guest, so why not meet him?

The shopkeeper said, "I wonder what you want from me, sir?"

Su Anton: "I want to talk to the shopkeeper about food."

Shopkeeper: "Oh? Go ahead."

Su Anton: "Your restaurant only has one dish made with rabbit meat, which is roasted rabbit. Although I didn't order it just now, I think it must taste good. I just don't know if the shopkeeper is interested in my recipe for a better rabbit meat."

The shopkeeper thought to himself: So he is a seller! He said: "It depends on whether it tastes good or not. You have to try it to know."

Su An Dong smiled and said nothing. He took out the dried rabbit they brought. He raised his hand and signaled the shopkeeper: "Try this first."

This air-dried rabbit was made by Zhou Huilan herself, and they had tasted it themselves. Although it was a little less tasty because there was no chili, they believed it was more than enough to fool those who had never eaten it.

Zhou Huilan's cooking skills were not the best, but they used to run a restaurant, so they had a lot of recipes in their heads. Some of them they had never cooked before, but they knew how to cook them.

The shopkeeper picked up a piece of dried rabbit and tasted it. The taste was very special. He had to admit that he was interested in this dish.

Su An Dong looked at his expression and said, "The shopkeeper may be interested."

The shopkeeper said directly: "I wonder how much this recipe costs."

Su An Dong said very unceremoniously: "This is not for sale."

The shopkeeper frowned in dissatisfaction and said, "Why did you come to me if you don't want to sell it?"

Su An Dong smiled and said, "It's still worth selling, but it's not this recipe that's being sold, it's another one."

Shopkeeper: “What?”

Su Anton: "Braised rabbit meat."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he lost his mind. He thought that all the chefs in the store knew how to make braised dishes, so they were all the same.

Su Anton guessed what he was thinking as soon as he saw his expression: "It's naturally different from the braised method in your store." He pointed to the dried rabbit meat on the table and said: "It's not worse than this."

The shopkeeper became interested again when he heard this: "Then please go to the kitchen and make it for me to try."

Su An Dong waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, let's talk first. The shopkeeper also knows that the raw material of this dish is rabbit meat. What I want to discuss with the shopkeeper is the supply of rabbit meat. I want me to provide all the rabbit meat for your store in the future."
