Xiao Tao had just digested the fact that the man in red in front of her was King Chen, and she was shocked again by the ten taels of silver a month.

You know, an ordinary waiter in a restaurant only earns two taels of silver a month.

The kind that's busy from sunrise to sunset.

And Xiao Yihang actually wanted to pay her girl ten taels of silver a month, just to cook a dinner?

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!

Looking at Chu Nanyue's bright eyes, she whispered, "Miss, you are pretty, I'm afraid that Prince Chen has taken a fancy to you, and he wants you to be his concubine under the pretext of entering the mansion as a cook."

Chu Nanyue: "...You'd better shut up!" She turned to Xiao Yihang and smiled, "Thank you, King Chen, for looking up to me. I need to go home and discuss this matter with my elder brother before making a decision."

"You siblings have a deep relationship, as it should be. If your brother has other concerns, everything can be discussed!" Seeing that Chu Nanyue did not refuse him, Xiao Yihang's smile became even bigger.

Looking at Xiao Yihang's "ill-intentioned" smile, Xiao Tao became more certain of what she was thinking. She tugged at Chu Nanyue's collar and whispered, "The eldest master once said that even if a man is poor, his ambitions are not small. I will never be someone's concubine!"

Chu Nanyue: "...Go home!"

Chu Ziyu was cheated. How could Xiaotao be worth four taels of silver?

The whole paranoid paranoia.

Is it too late for her to find someone to return the money?

Chu Nanyue said goodbye to Xiao Yihang politely, then lifted her skirt and walked ten steps away from Xiaotao and went home first.

Xiao Tao looked at Chu Nanyue's proud back and narrowed her eyes.

Her girl has finally recovered to normal, and she must not let the same mistake happen again. She must keep an eye on her girl.

When she got home, she found Xiao Yihang's carriage parked at her door. Xiao Tao immediately ran inside in a rage: "I will tell the eldest master that King Chen feels for you."

Chu Nanyue took a closer look, grabbed her and threatened her: "If you dare to slander King Chen again, I will sell you out!"

Xiao Tao was frightened: "Miss, I dare not..."

"It's not Prince Chen's carriage. I'll go check it out. You go help Axun grill the skewers!"

After entering the room, Chu Ziyu was found drinking tea with a strange handsome man. Seeing Chu Nanyue coming in, Chu Ziyu put down the teacup and introduced: "Ayue, this is the owner of Yujianglou, Feng Yuxin."

"Boss Feng, this is my sister Chu Nanyue. The spicy crayfish, steamed crabs, and various grilled skewers are all made by her."

Chu Nanyue glanced at Feng Yuxin, then at Chu Ziyu, and immediately understood that this was another attempt to poach her.

It seems like today is the day when there is a rainbow after the storm, a double happiness!

She stretched out her joyful mood and smiled lightly, "Hello, Boss Feng!" Then she slowly spoke to Chu Ziyu, "Brother, the red-clothed young man who knocked over our stall that day wants to invite me to his mansion as a cook. I only need to cook one dinner a day, and I will pay 20 taels of silver a month! What do you think, brother?"

Chu Ziyu had a complicated expression.

Feng Yuxin laughed loudly after hearing this: "Miss Chu, good wine needs no bush!" Then, he said to Chu Ziyu, "Mr. Chu was still worried about what I said just now. Now that Miss Chu has found a better way to make a living, I think my visit today is the icing on the cake!"

Feng Yuxin waved her folding fan and took a sip of tea.

Wait! Speak slower, let me turn my head and think about what you mean.

So they are not here to hire her with a high salary!

"Ayue, Boss Feng wants to buy out our spicy crayfish and various grilled skewers!" Chu Ziyu looked at the confusion in Chu Nanyue's eyes and reminded her with his hand on his forehead.

Buyout? That's good!

As long as the money is in place!

Chu Nanyue sat next to Chu Ziyu obediently, twisting her clothes and saying, "I have never thought about selling our craft. Right now our business is stable, and our daily income is stable. If we sell our ancestral craft for the sake of a little insignificant profit, and then spend all the money in the future, wouldn't we regret it?"

"I'm just going to your house to cook dinner. It won't affect our business!"

She was thinking in her mind, come and throw money at me, but she looked embarrassed, like a little naive.

Doing business is all about seeing who can bluff and who can keep steady!

"Boss Feng, you heard me, we don't sell our ancestral craft!" Chu Ziyu and Chu Nanyue stood on the same front.

Feng Wuxin tapped his palm with his folding fan, looking at Chu Nanyue's lowered eyebrows and calm face, he laughed: "Mr. Chu, don't rush to express your opinion. Your sister is as young as a flower, can you bear to let her be surrounded by oil smoke, sleep in the open air, and show her face every day?"

"Everyone wants to get a piece of the pie when something new happens. I'm afraid that after what happened today, there will be endless cases in the future!"

"Not everyone is as stupid as the fat man!"

"Your sister and brother were able to escape unscathed once, can they escape unscathed every time?"

Chu Ziyu's hands on his legs gradually tightened, his face darkened: "I may be disabled, but I will protect them with my life. Whoever dares to hurt them, I will kill him!"

His voice was not loud, but every word he said was powerful, making Chu Nanyue's heart tremble.

During the six years in Skid Row, it was Chu Ziyu, a disabled man, who supported this family.

The original owner never cared about others and had no idea of ​​the pain and sorrow inside, but Chu Nanyue was moved and deeply admired her.

"Boss Feng, make an offer!"

Seeing Chu Ziyu compromise, Chu Nanyue stopped stretching and raised her body: "Yujianglou is indeed the best building in Beijing. It turns out that Boss Feng has a pair of sharp eyes and is good at winning hearts."

"Although I am reluctant to give up the craftsmanship passed down from my ancestors, since Big Brother cares about me and Axun, I will do as Big Brother says. I wonder how much money Boss Feng wants to pay to buy out our craftsmanship?"

Feng Yuxin was slightly stunned by the determination of the two of them. Then she put away her folding fan, took out the golden abacus, and moved it up and down with her slender fingers.

"Your daily income is different, so let's calculate it based on one tael of silver. Spicy crayfish and grilled skewers are five hundred coins each. Spicy crayfish is a seasonal food, only available for three months a year. So, the total for the year is two hundred and fifty taels of silver!"

"This does not even take into account days with strong winds, cloudy weather, rainy days, snowy days, etc."

At this moment, Feng Yuxin no longer had any of the noble look she had just now, instead she was filled with the shrewdness of a businessman.

"Both you are smart people. No matter how exquisite your ancestral craftsmanship is, it cannot withstand the scrutiny and speculation of the world. After a long time, there will be no secrets. I am a businessman. I only care about profit. I just want to seize this opportunity. How much I can earn depends on my ability. I am also gambling."

"So what?" Chu Nanyue asked calmly, picking up a cup of tea.

"So I am willing to pay you two hundred taels of silver. With this money, you can free up three people. I believe that with your intelligence, you might be able to develop something popular. Will you still worry about not getting the money?"

"Boss Feng is indeed a businessman. His analysis is powerful and well-reasoned. If I refuse, I will miss a good opportunity." Chu Nanyue laughed.

"Young lady, with your talent, really shouldn't be confined to this fumes. You should make full use of your skills and concentrate on your research. Making money is the right thing to do! There are not many crafts that our Yujiang Tower would appreciate. I hope you will seize this opportunity!" Feng Yuxin shook her folding fan, calm and composed.

This is both the confidence given by his master behind him and the ability he has gained from many years of business.

"Since you, Yujiang Tower, are interested in our craftsmanship, then we can negotiate. The price is five hundred taels!" Chu Nanyue made the final decision.

Chu Ziyu was slightly stunned.

Three hundred taels is appropriate, five hundred taels is obviously too high.

A profit-seeking businessman would never give this amount of silver.

As expected, Feng Yuxin smiled awkwardly, "Only fair business will do business. The money you offered is obviously too low. It is not worth it for me. Today, I will just treat it as my sincere greeting. You two can discuss it privately or look for more companies. If you have an idea, come to Yujiang Tower to find me at any time."

Feng Yuxin pretended to stand up and say goodbye.

Chu Ziyu clasped his fists and said, "There is nothing to discuss. This matter is entirely up to A Yue!"

"Boss Feng, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Why don't you sit down and listen to me?" Chu Nanyue smiled faintly. "Two hundred taels is your buyout fee, and the other three hundred taels is other expenses. I guarantee that you will get great value for money!"
