The eldest daughter of a peasant family: They are all my sisters’ passers-by

"When are you going to release the new one?"

Lan Wangshu leaned back in her chair, looking lazy. She didn't look like she was here to talk business, nor did she have the dignity of an aristocratic woman. Her wide sleeves looked a little unruly.

"During the Mid-Autumn Festival, there will be the most customers and it will be easier to spread the word."

"Then we can set up an event, a special tofu banquet for the Mid-Autumn Festival. No more, no less, just ten tables, to represent perfection and family reunion. Every customer who enters the restaurant will be given a plate of tofu side dishes, to bring blessings to the ten tables of guests. We can also hire some children to make up a jingle and go door to door to promote it."

"But isn't this a loss?"

Li Yanhuan was puzzled when he heard He Jinyu's continuous praise. If every table was given a free gift, how much would they have to pay?

He Jinyu was a little embarrassed. She looked at Lan Wangshu's expression, then tugged at Li Yanhuan's clothes, signaling her to stop talking.

Lan Wangshu sat up straight. She was not afraid that the questions Li Yanhuan asked were too simple. As long as she started thinking, she still had a chance.

"Since Miss Li has something to ask for advice, I will be bold enough to be a teacher today. First of all, the main guests of this tofu banquet are wealthy families. Whoever can grab ten places will be honored, because things are precious because they are rare. Giving tofu to each table is just an excuse to accumulate blessings for these wealthy families, so that the rich guests can eat with dignity, and it also takes care of the emotions of ordinary guests, so that they can try something new and order more in the future if they like it."

"The cost of tofu is not high, but it is unique and no one else has it, so it is reasonable to set the price a little higher. Giving away dishes will not be a loss at all, and it may even be a profit in the future."

Li Yanhuan felt that she had listened and understood. So this is how business is done. Okay, she admitted that Lan Wangshu was indeed smarter than her.

"How should this jingle be written?"

"Brother Jinyu and I are doing business together. This is a good thing. It's best to find a storyteller. You need to explain the activities clearly. It's fine if it can be rhymed. It's best if it's catchy. Ask them to write a few versions. If you can remember it after reading it three times, you can use it directly."

Lan Wangshu was speechless. He really treated her as a treasure book. She should let someone else use her brain. She wanted to take a break.

He Jinyu touched the tip of his nose. Isn't this the idea that those who are more capable should do more work? She has a lot of new ideas, so he wanted to hear more of her opinions.

"Okay, you decide the price of this dish, and we'll talk about the price of this recipe later."

Lan Wangshu took out a stack of papers from his sleeve, all covered with neat regular script.

"How do you want to transfer it?"

He Jinyu had known her for some time and knew that his negotiation skills were useless in front of her. It would be useless if she didn't accept his challenge. He didn't bother to engage in a tug-of-war and just asked her directly what she wanted.

"It's okay. I'll give you the recipe. But if you can't buy it in your restaurant, you have to buy it from me."

Lan Wangshu was not worried at all about whether the people here had discovered chili peppers and peppercorns. Just for example, they had to buy the bean paste from her.

He Jinyu took the recipe in his hand and flipped through it. There were indeed many things he had never seen before, such as chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, garlic, and condiments like oyster sauce. His eyebrows jumped when he saw them.

He didn't feel like he was losing out. Since no one else had it, it was okay for him to buy it from Lan Wangshu.

"Let's make a deal. You make an offer and we'll start drafting a contract."

He Jinyu looked at the quotation list and felt that these things were not expensive, but there was a condition: if the villagers of Cangnan Village were selling these crops, they would be given priority.

He nodded. This was indeed something that someone like her could do. He signed the contract readily. As for the share of the dishes, of course, after deducting the cost, Lan Wangshu would take 70%.

He Jinyu sighed a little, 30% was still too little.

Li Yanhuan didn't dare to say anything. It wasn't her fault. It was her uncle who chose it.

"Find a chef who has signed a contract to do it, and open a separate kitchen to prevent others from copying you. You don't have to deliberately attract other people's curiosity. Just say that you are a chef who specializes in developing new dishes."

He Jinyu nodded and understood the meaning.

"Miss Li, then I will go back?"

Lan Wangshu had a smile on his face, and his teasing look made Li Yanhuan's scalp tingle. He was afraid that Lan Wangshu would tell Li Yanhuan what happened a few days ago.

She didn't know that they were really so innocent and didn't care about anything else except business. How could Lan Wangshu not be tempted by someone like her cousin?

Li Yanhuan stirred the handkerchief in his hand and said "yes" reluctantly.

The figure walked away, but He Jinyu was still looking at Lan Wangshu's back.

"Does my cousin like Miss Blue?"

"I just admire Miss Lan. She is talented, intelligent, and loyal. It's a pity for a woman like her to be a woman of noble birth. She deserves to be a lady of noble birth."

His tone was full of undisguised admiration and regret. Li Yanhuan looked at Lan Wangshu's back, then at his cousin's face, and fell into deep thought.

Lan Wangshu returned to the courtyard and decided to go back to the village. He gave Lan Luochen a few instructions, changed back into his gray linen clothes, carried a backpack, and prepared to go out.
