Amazing Pastoral World: Unparalleled Medical Queen

Shopkeeper Qin remained silent.

Lu Ke'er was telling the truth. The taste of this kind of fish meat is much better than before. The dish can be imitated, but the secret method to keep the fish meat tender, smooth and fragrant is difficult to figure out in a short period of time. When all restaurants make this pickled fish, then this secret method will be the way to win in the competition.

After thinking for a while, Manager Qin made up his mind. With a smile on his face, he bowed to Lu Ke'er and said humbly and kindly, "First, please have a light meal for the two young ladies, and then please invite Miss Lu to the backyard to discuss in detail."

As if she had expected his reaction, Lu Ke'er smiled faintly.

Upstairs, Yu Qianjing raised an eyebrow at Rong Zhixing: "As a shopkeeper, you are quite good at doing business. Guess what conditions the little village girl will put forward?"

Rong Zhixing snorted and said, "Boring."

After saying that, he turned and walked back to the box.

"Hey, Big Wood, why don't you go over and take a look?"

"Hey, why don't you answer? You'll have no friends if you act like this, don't you know that?"

Yu Qianjing kept talking and mumbling as he followed.

Because she was worried about selling ginseng, Lu Ke'er simply ordered two dishes. After she and Dong Ling had a quick lunch, she pulled Dong Ling along to follow Manager Qin to the backyard.

Dong Ling shook her head and said, "Ke'er, my father asked me to go to a few households in town and ask them if they still need charcoal this year. I won't go with you. I'll come to the restaurant to find you after I'm done."

Lu Ke'er knew that Dong Ling didn't want to get involved as an outsider, so she didn't point it out. In her heart, she looked up to this girl even more.

"Okay. We'll meet up here. If you don't see me in the restaurant after you finish your business, just wait."

After giving the instructions, Lu Ke'er followed Qin Fang.

Dong Ling stood there, looking at Lu Ke'er's departing back, with mixed feelings in her heart.

She had never thought that one day she would walk into Pinxianlou; let alone think that she would have the opportunity to meet the owner of Pinxianlou.

She looked at Lu Ke'er who was following behind Qin Fang.

His thin body stood straight, and every step he took was confident and calm, as if he was taking a leisurely stroll in his own yard.

Dong Ling's uneasy heart suddenly calmed down.

How could she worry about Ke'er? Ke'er was so capable, was there anything she couldn't do?

The restaurant facing the street in front of Pinxianlou is magnificent, but the backyard is elegant, unique and exquisite. Walking through the flower path, passing by pavilions, terraces, rockery corridors, Lu Keer followed Qin Fang to Tingyuxuan.

After the host and the guest sat down, Qin Fang said straight to the point: "No outsiders are allowed to disturb us here. Miss Lu, I want to buy your pickled fish recipe. Please name your price."

Lu Ke'er took the fragrant tea brought by the maid, took a sip, and then replied: "Manager Qin, how much can you offer?"

"Although pickled fish is delicious, it is, after all, a common people's dish and is still not worthy of being served in a high-class restaurant. I can give you at most five taels of silver."

Lu Ke'er pursed her red lips, glanced at Qin Fang calmly, and then said: "A true classic is appreciated by both the elite and the masses. Food is the first necessity of the people, and the real god of wealth in the restaurant is actually the ordinary people. I think Manager Qin, you know this better than me."

Qin Fang became impatient after seeing her look. He took a sip of tea, then another sip, and said, "How about ten taels?"

Lu Ke'er shook her head, her eyes full of disappointment: "From the look of Shopkeeper Qin, he should be a man who accumulates wealth and is good at calculating, but unfortunately he is still short-sighted."

When Lu Ke'er saw Qin Fang for the first time, she noticed a red glow on his forehead. Considering his identity as a restaurant owner, Lu Ke'er guessed that this must be a sign of wealth. No wonder Pinxianlou was so prosperous that it could defeat all other major restaurants in the town in a short period of time, gain a foothold in Jinji Town, and quickly become the industry leader. This was certainly inseparable from the strong financial resources of the boss behind Pinxianlou, but more importantly, it was because of Qin Fang's good management. That's why Lu Ke'er decided to cooperate with him.

Qin Fang only felt a surge of heat rising from his chest and abdomen, quickly spreading to his cheeks.

It was the first time that he was looked down upon by a little girl.

"Then what do you think, Miss Lu?" He suppressed the urge to leave and asked in a cold voice.

"It's simple. I want you to get 20% of the additional profit from the new dishes served."

Seeing Qin Fang's puzzled expression, Lu Ke'er put down the teacup in her hand and explained, "If your restaurant's profit last month was 100 taels, and this month you launched the pickled fish, the profit is 110 taels, then this month's profit has increased by 10 taels compared to last month, so I want two taels of this ten taels."

"What a big tone!" Qin Fang understood and couldn't help but stare in astonishment. He was a little annoyed. "You are a person who makes a lot of money but runs a business with no capital. Just by talking, you want an extra 20% of the profit of my restaurant."

"Shopkeeper Qin, you are wrong." Lu Ke'er remained calm while drinking tea and said calmly, "In return, I will teach you a new dish every quarter. And I can guarantee that this new dish has never appeared in any restaurant in Qi Country. Shopkeeper Qin, you can do the math. Compared with your monthly increase in profits, the share I give you is really not much."

Launch a new dish every quarter?

Qin Fang was shocked, and then excited.

If every new dish was as delicious as the pickled fish, he could imagine how booming the business of Pinxianlou would be.

"Can you guarantee that my restaurant will increase profits after launching the new dishes?"

"Of course." Lu Ke'er was confident, "Unless your chef doesn't cook according to my method."

What a joke! As a modern foodie, she has been deeply influenced by thousands of years of food culture, and has spanned ancient and modern times, integrating Chinese and Western food and bringing forth new ideas from the old. She doesn't believe that she can't win the stomachs of a group of foodies in a small town like Jinji.

Qin Fang pondered secretly and thought carefully, and sadly discovered that he was about to be convinced by Lu Ke'er.

"What if there is no increase in profits?" Qin Fang asked.

"Of course I won't get any share." Lu Ke'er smiled faintly, "You see, there is no loss for you."

Qin Fang considered it for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, let's do it."

He had a feeling that this girl was not an ordinary person. Moreover, she was his son's savior...

"Since Shopkeeper Qin has no objection, let's sign a contract."

"What contract?"

"It's a contract. It stipulates the responsibilities and obligations of both of us, including remuneration, cooperation details and other matters. Both parties to the contract must abide by the provisions of the contract. Otherwise, they can be required to bear certain liability for breach of contract."

Qin Fang was deeply shocked.

Is this the kind of knowledge a little country girl would have? She is so thorough and experienced in handling things.

"For our common interests and goals, we need to restrain each other's behavior. What do you think, Shopkeeper Qin?"
