Start with three days of hunger and nine meals, and become rich and tempting

Xiao Minghu's throat was stiff and his heart was filled with emotion.

He didn't know Liu Siyu well before, and the villagers didn't have a good opinion of her. In addition, she was arrogant in front of Wang, so Xiao Minghu didn't like her from the bottom of his heart.

Later, I bought medicinal herbs for her purely for Wang's sake.

I didn’t expect that after such a thing happened, Liu Siyu could still accept it so magnanimously and calmly.

Xiao Minghu just said thank you, turned around and left the yard, but in his heart he recognized Liu Siyu as a person.

Wang's mind was full of Xiao Minghu's words, and she automatically imagined the vicious scenes of those people.

Imagine what would happen if those people came to my house?

She was a widow, Liu Siyu was a girl who was about to get married, and Sihan was still a child.

I felt anxious as if tens of thousands of ants were crawling around in my heart.

But when he glanced at Liu Siyu, he saw that she looked calm, as if she had regained her composure.

"Siyu, who are those people?"

Liu Siyu glared at Wang and asked, "Are you scared?"

Wang nodded honestly, "Well, just listening to what your uncle Xiao said, my calves are spinning."

A faint smile flashed across Liu Siyu's lips.

"What are you afraid of? If an enemy comes, we will fight him. If a flood comes, we will block it with earth. We are just stinky stones. Why should we be afraid of those precious porcelains?"

Wang was still a little worried, but seeing that Liu Siyu had no desire to continue, she had to shut up.

Liu Siyu sent Wang away and analyzed the current situation in his mind.

Manager Fu did not attack her directly, which showed that he was still wary of her backers.

He didn't dare to attack her directly, but he was still determined to get her recipe.

From this point of view, Manager Fu and the people behind her are somewhat wary of Liu Siyu's backers, but they are not that afraid.

Therefore, they could only resort to despicable means in secret but dared not to seize the recipe openly.

Liu Siyu sighed secretly. She knew that this road was not so easy. Even if she had a way to get the raw materials without being discovered, as time went on, there was no guarantee that Shopkeeper Fu would not take risks.

Furthermore, since Manager Fu was able to dig out Xiao Minghu, he might also have control over Lai Xi and Boss Li.

As long as they put together the recipes of each medicine they bought, they would know that the other medicinal ingredients she bought this time were just a cover.

With the formula and someone who knows about medicinal herbs, they can quickly make a new hand ointment, and she, as a supplier, becomes dispensable.

Liu Siyu secretly hated that she had no power or influence. In this world where the powerful and wealthy controlled the aristocratic families, the aristocratic families could control the merchants, and the merchants could control the life and death of all traders.

A little girl like her who came from a peasant family wanted to set up a business, but she had no background and any small businessman could easily take her over.

It’s really hard to accept it when I think about it.

Two days later, it was drizzling and Liu Siyu stepped into Chaxiangji again.

Shopkeeper Fu was slightly puzzled.

But there was still a faint smile on his face.

"Today is not the day for delivery. What brings you here?"

Liu Siyu also responded with a faint smile and raised her hand to take out 60 bottles of hand cream.

She just wanted to see Manager Fu's attitude.

When I was at home, I had carefully thought about the whole process of buying medicinal materials.

Xiao Minghu had only bought nepeta and peach kernels for her.

The recipe was not complete, and she deliberately bought other seasonings this time. As long as those people didn't catch Lai Xi and Boss Li, they would not be able to ask for the detailed recipe.

The two men didn't make any movement. There were only two possibilities. One was that they secretly defected to Manager Fu, and the other was that Manager Fu didn't notice Lai Xi and Boss Li at all.

"I've already made the hand cream. I thought I'd be very busy before the New Year, so I brought it here in advance."

Shopkeeper Fu's eyes lit up and he took the hand ointment with a smile.

"That's fine. We'll be busy for a while before the New Year."

Liu Siyu was a little confused. Manager Fu was happy but not surprised.

Decided to give it another try.

"All the medicinal materials for this batch of hand cream have been used up. I'm afraid we won't be able to send a second batch before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

Shopkeeper Fu curled his lips in a playful manner, "Okay, let's arrange for the next batch after the New Year."

Liu Siyu's heart trembled, and she secretly guessed that Manager Fu might have mastered the secret recipe, and it was only a matter of time before he developed a hand ointment.

It wasn't that she didn't have confidence in what she came up with.

This hand cream is really too simple. It can be perfectly replicated quickly by an experienced doctor and someone who knows about moisturizing creams.

When I thought about this, I made up my mind that instead of waiting to be abandoned, I might as well sell the formula and make some money. Once I had some spare cash, I could think of other ways to make money.

After figuring everything out, Liu Siyu smiled faintly.

"I don't plan to do this business again after the New Year."

Shopkeeper Fu opened his eyes wide.

"What does this mean?"

Liu Siyu stopped beating around the bush and revealed his cards directly.

"I told you before that this formula was given to me by someone else, and now that person has decided to start another business, he wants to sell the formula."

Shopkeeper Fu was a little anxious as she had not yet developed a new formula.

The recipe I got always feels a bit weird, and I want to follow it for a while to see if there is anything missing.

If the formula is sold, once it gets into the hands of other businessmen, it will be difficult to understand it.

Immediately use the document that was signed to put pressure on them.

"That's not good. We have signed a document. If you break the contract..."

Liu Siyu suddenly laughed.

"We did sign a document, but it didn't say how long this cooperation would last."

Shopkeeper Fu was speechless. This point was indeed not written in the document. It was not because they forgot, but because they had made up their minds to steal the recipe from the beginning, so they did not mark the length of the cooperation.

Unexpectedly, Liu Siyu took advantage of this loophole, which really backfired.

But he still looked tough.

"Although the duration is not specified, honesty is important in doing business. How can you easily break the contract unilaterally?"

Liu Siyu curled her lips secretly.

"Don't make such nice words. Since we are talking about honesty, let's not beat around the bush. You secretly inquired about my formula, but my not telling you doesn't mean I don't know."

Shopkeeper Fu's face froze and his eyes rolled around.

She did not publicize her request for the formula, but anyone who was really interested could still get a glimpse of it.

But she didn't believe that Liu Siyu, a country girl, could know so much.

It must be the person behind her who discovered the clue.

But there was one thing she couldn't understand. Since the man already knew that she was coveting the formula, why didn't he use some means to pressure her and make her obedient and work for him?

Wouldn't it be a sign of weakness to choose to sell the formula?

Liu Siyu seemed to know what she was thinking and added another sentence.

"But I wonder why she wants to sell the formula?"

Shopkeeper Fu said nothing.

Liu Siyu continued, "Because the recipe was given to her by a noble, it is dispensable to her."

Shopkeeper Fu suddenly realized that in other people's eyes, she was just a clown.

He asked the final question with a little frustration.

"Why did she give you the formula? What is your relationship?"

"She is mine..." Liu Siyu said halfway and suddenly stopped talking as if she thought of something.
