"Uncle Qi, please try it, it's delicious, it's pickled fish!" Li Youran looked at Shopkeeper Qi with anticipation, his eyes flashing with excitement.

Shopkeeper Qi smiled slightly, reached out to pick up the chopsticks next to the box, carefully picked up a piece of fish from the box, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

Suddenly, a strong sour taste spread in his mouth, blending perfectly with the delicious fish meat, leaving him with an endless aftertaste.

Shopkeeper Qi couldn't help showing a hint of surprise, muttering to himself: "This tastes unexpectedly good!" While savoring the food in his mouth, he cast his gaze towards the guests who were watching around him.

At this time, a curious guest couldn't help but look out and stared at the pickled fish in the insulated box, exclaiming: "Just looking at this makes me feel hungry!"

Another guest agreed, "Yes, just look at Shopkeeper Qi's expression and you can tell that this dish must be delicious!" As he spoke, his eyes never left the satisfied look on Shopkeeper Qi's face.

Hearing everyone's praise, Li Youran raised his chin with pride and said, "Of course! This is our family's unique secret recipe passed down from generation to generation."

Her face was filled with a bright smile, as if she was full of confidence and pride in this delicious dish made by her mother.

"Let's talk inside!" Shopkeeper Qi knew that they were going to sell the recipe, so he asked a few people to go to the inner room, which was the back kitchen, to talk.

When they arrived at the kitchen, "Hello, Manager Qi, I'm Ran'er's mother. My daughter wants to sell these Cai's recipes to a restaurant. What do you think..." Ye knew that she was a farmer and could not compare with the restaurant owner, so she spoke in a negotiating tone.

Li Youran felt uncomfortable when he saw this. His family was too backward and he had to be humble to the owner of the restaurant. He swore that he would make his family live a good life in the future and not let his mother and father suffer.

"Uncle Qi, here are the recipes for three dishes. There are two dishes you haven't tried yet. Try them!"

Li Youran brought the other two boxes of dishes to Shopkeeper Qi, who tasted them one by one. They were all dishes he had never seen before and were very attractive. The sauerkraut fish was easier to eat with rice, the crucian carp soup was very delicious, and the spring bamboo shoots stewed with meat were also very delicious, as the spring bamboo shoots were quite tender.

"How much silver do you plan to sell it for?" This time it was Shopkeeper Qi who asked, and he was not sure about the price.

"Three thousand taels, one thousand taels for one recipe, and this is a one-time buyout recipe, and it's also my family's unique secret recipe." Li Youran held up three fingers, with a tone that left no room for negotiation.

Li Kangze and Ye took a breath after hearing this, but did not interrupt Li Youran.

Li Youran carefully observed Shopkeeper Qi's expression and found that he did not show any abnormality. He continued, "Not only that, all the ingredients must be supplied by us to ensure their absolute freshness!"

At this moment, Li Youran had already thought about the next plan in his mind.

She determined to return home and convince her father to buy more land and build a huge fish pond to raise fish.

In addition, a warehouse dedicated to storing spring bamboo shoots and ginger needs to be built to ensure that they always remain fresh and delicious.

After all, once spring is over, the spring shoots will quickly grow into bamboo. If you want to be able to enjoy this delicacy all year round, you have to take it out of the space.

Therefore, having a warehouse with fresh-keeping function will become an essential cover measure.

Shopkeeper Qi nodded slightly, indicating that he understood the mystery.

He is well aware of the high value of the exclusive secret recipe, and from now on these unique dishes will belong only to Jiuyuelou, and other restaurants will not be able to get involved.

Looking at the clever and knowledgeable little kid in front of him, Shopkeeper Qi couldn't help but admire him.

"Okay, in that case, I'll agree to your request!" Shopkeeper Qi agreed without hesitation.

Hearing this, Li Youran immediately grabbed Ye and shouted excitedly, "Mom, go and teach your cooking skills to their chef!"

Then he turned to Shopkeeper Qi and said, "Please follow me!" His words revealed full confidence and decisiveness.

Shopkeeper Qi led the way and invited Ye to the kitchen where seven or eight cooks were waiting. Ye only wanted to teach two of them, and the others would learn from them on their own.

"I'll just teach two! There are too many to teach." Ye was still a little overwhelmed when looking at so many people.

Shopkeeper Qi directly called the head chef and an old cook, both of whom were experienced chefs.

Ye taught them step by step in detail. They listened carefully and followed Ye's instructions. After doing it once, they roughly knew how to do it.

Shopkeeper Qi took the silver note and handed it to Li Youran. Li Youran took it with both hands with a smile. She was interested in the silver.

"Uncle Qi, there are fish, bamboo shoots and ginger on the ox cart outside. Ask the people in the store to help you get them!" Li Youran did not forget to remind Shopkeeper Qi that these fish and bamboo shoots should be considered as gifts to Jiuyue Building.

Shopkeeper Qi immediately asked the shop assistants to help carry it.

Li Youran sat on a small stool next to the counter. She was small and didn't take up much space. Li Kangze was in the kitchen waiting for Ye's chef to teach.

At this time, a little boy in luxurious clothes came out from the private room on the second floor. It was the prince. He had his hands behind his back and looked mature.

A group of guards followed behind him, which scared the customers in the store. Who was coming? Such a big scene, no one dared to discuss it.

Li Youran looked curiously and saw a handsome and cool little boy slowly walking down the stairs. He looked only a few years older than her and had a serious face.

To be honest, that face is good-looking. When he grows up, he will definitely make girls crazy about him and keep staring at him.

The little prince suddenly seemed to feel a beam of burning gaze directed at him, so he raised his head and looked, and saw a little girl in a floral dress with two cute little braids on her head, staring at him intently.

Her big eyes, as crystal clear as grapes, never blinked.

"Whose child is this?" the little prince asked softly to his personal guard beside him.

"Reporting to His Royal Highness, that is the little girl who came to sell recipes today. She is said to be only two and a half years old!" The personal bodyguard answered in a low voice, for fear of disturbing others.

The little prince nodded slightly to show that he understood, but did not say anything more. He just looked at the little girl again and walked straight out of the store.

At this time, a gorgeous carriage had already been parked outside the store, and the coachman was standing on one side with his head lowered respectfully.

The personal guard carefully helped the little prince onto the carriage, and then the carriage sped away quickly.

Li Youran finally came to her senses. Her eyes were sore from staring at the boy for so long. She rubbed her eyes gently and sighed in her heart: Beauty really ruins everything!

Ye and Li Kangze came out from the kitchen, said hello, and took Li Youran out of September Building.
