When Shopkeeper Zhao and Chef Yang in the house saw the two men, they greeted the grandfather and grandson warmly.

The man had a calm expression, his sharp eyes casually glancing at the account book on the table, until they came closer, then he raised his eyes to look.

"Sit down, raise the bamboo and serve tea."

The young man gave the instructions as he stood up and led them to sit down at the round table.

"Mr. Leng, Miss Leng, I hope you can forgive me for inviting you so hastily."

The young man was polite at first, and Shopkeeper Zhao beside him introduced him, "This is our young master, Uncle Leng, you..."

Shopkeeper Zhao seemed to be saying something, but the young man waved his hand and spoke:

"My surname is Zhao and my given name is Jingsheng. Uncle Zhao has explained the matter of silver sprouts and boiled fish to me in detail.

I have also tasted that flavor, it is indeed unique, no wonder it is so popular among diners and has attracted a large number of diners to Xianju Pavilion.

It is said that seeing is believing, and I have seen the account books of your huge profits, which really makes me curious about you.

What kind of skill is needed to make such delicious dishes?

So just now I heard that you two were here, so I thought about meeting you guys!"

Zhao Jingsheng was cheerful and cheerful, without any airs at all, and spoke in a casual and natural manner, just like chatting.

"No, no, it's just a family craft."

Seeing this, Leng Yan responded with a smile. Although Old Man Leng was not used to such occasions, he could still cope with it.

Seeing this, Zhao Jingsheng spoke again:

"Uncle Zhao said that today is the day when Xianju Pavilion will share profits with you. I have just looked at the account books. The amount of silver you received this month is 58 taels. Please check if it is correct."

As he was speaking, Shopkeeper Zhao brought the account book over.

Seeing that he went straight to the point without any hesitation, Leng Yan immediately started to look through the account book in a serious manner.

Her outside persona was that she was illiterate, so after taking a rough look and making sure it was correct, she nodded.

"They all match. It is indeed fifty-eight taels."

Seeing this, Zhao Jingsheng waved his hand and asked Shengzhu, who was waiting on the side, to hand over the things that had been prepared earlier.

"I added two taels here, making a total of sixty taels. The purse has both small and large amounts, which is considered the sincerity of our Xianju Pavilion.

Here is the contract with the other four Xianju Pavilions in other counties and towns. We want to sign a contract with you to give you a 10% dividend per month for the sales of boiled fish and boiled pork slices. What do you think?"

Zhao Jingsheng's attitude is humble and polite, and he appears to be particularly sincere.

"Of course, if you have other requests, feel free to ask. I will definitely satisfy them as long as they can be met."

Old Master Leng was quite excited when he heard this. Each Xianju Pavilion received more than fifty or sixty taels of silver every month. If there were five Xianju Pavilions, how much would that be? He didn't even dare to imagine it.

Leng Yan was not surprised to see this, but was still very happy.

It's not only because they were able to get the cooperation, but also because the dividends this time are more than last time. It can be seen that Xianju Pavilion's business is good and boiled fish fillets have indeed brought them a lot of profits.

So she said, "Young Master is straightforward. We will work together more deeply in the future and strive to make a lot of money."

As for any request, she would not take it seriously if others said it politely.

Seeing this, Shopkeeper Zhao and Chef Yang were also very happy and echoed the sentiment.

Seeing this, Zhao Jingsheng also felt that this little girl was just as Manager Zhao and the others said.

This girl can make decisions, has her own opinions, is extremely smart, remains calm in the face of praise or criticism, and is polite in her actions. She is indeed rare.

At first he thought that a farm girl, no matter how smart she was, would always be restrained and short-sighted when faced with such a scene.

Unexpectedly, she responded in a graceful and neither humble nor arrogant manner. Now Zhao Jingsheng really felt that this girl did have some real skills.

Zhao Jingsheng felt that he was good at calculating in the business world. He grew up with an abacus in his arms, and with the influence of his parents, he knew more and had a broader vision than others in the business world.

Therefore, he did not think it was strange that Leng Yan knew so much at such a young age. Instead, he was curious about how many wonderful ideas this little girl had.

The grandfather and grandson had no idea what Zhao Jingsheng was thinking. After they took the silver and left Xianju Pavilion, they were so happy that it seemed a little unreal.

Old Man Leng couldn't believe it, but Leng Yan felt that now that she had money, she could put her wish of buying an ox cart on the agenda.

So when she told him her idea, Mr. Leng hesitated and was struggling over whether to buy an ox cart or build a house first.

Seeing this, Leng Yan advised, "Grandpa, let's buy a bullock cart first, so that it will be more convenient for us to go to the dock every day.

Besides, the winter wheat in the field will be harvested soon. If we have a cow then, it will be easier to pull the grain and plow the field."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Leng's expression relaxed a lot. Leng Yan continued his efforts and went directly to the cattle and horse market with his grandfather.

Because they came in the afternoon, the cattle and horse market was not as lively as in the morning. The livestock tied to the wooden stakes were sparse and there were not many left.

After walking around for a while, the grandfather and grandson saw an old cow in the corner of the market. When they asked the price, they found out that it wanted sixteen taels of silver.

Both the grandfather and grandson were shocked. They all knew that cattle and horses were expensive, but they didn't know they were so expensive. If they hadn't received dividends today, they would probably have turned around and left after hearing the price.

Leng Yan was afraid that the man was trying to trick them and said he didn't know the business, so she went to other stores to ask about the price a few more times. Unexpectedly, the price was much higher, and she felt so distressed when she heard it.

"Grandpa, how about the one we just saw? It has good teeth and is strong. Let's negotiate the price. About fourteen or fifteen taels of silver should be fine!"

"Okay, now that we're here, we can't leave empty-handed!"

Old Man Leng thought about the cow and thought it was feasible, so the grandfather and grandson went back to bargain with the boss.

After the two parties had negotiated back and forth for a few times, the boss held his chest and said that it hurt so much that they had to bargain so hard.

Leng Yan had in mind that the best price would be fourteen taels of silver, but the boss refused to budge, so she had no choice but to settle for fifteen taels of silver, plus a cart hitched to an ox cart.

When paying the silver, Old Man Leng felt very distressed. The fifteen taels of silver he took back were enough to build three or four tiled houses.

Although I felt sad, I couldn't hide my good mood when I saw Old Man Leng sitting on the ox cart and cracking the whip.

When Leng Yan was lying flat on the ox cart with her arms and legs spread out, she felt relieved. From then on, her family owned a car and it was convenient for them to go wherever they wanted.

"Yan girl, are we going home or strolling around the city?"

Old Master Leng had just learned some driving skills, and now he was eager to try his hand at driving a carriage, and was feeling very happy.

"Let's go shopping and buy some things."

Leng Yan could see that Grandpa was happy, so he said, "Beicheng County is bigger than Hulu Town. Let's go to Xishi and see if we can buy anything good."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Leng agreed and went to the West Market while cracking his whip.

The West Market is a large place, and after strolling around for a while, the grandfather and grandson saw some early green oranges shipped from the south.
