So what if you flee from famine? Start all over again and live a good life every day

Each person got one pound. The bean sprouts were sold out quickly. Some people who bought tofu also came to take two pounds back.

"Brother, can you come with me now?" Wang Quan saw Sui He finished his work and hurriedly asked.

"Okay, wait for me to pack up, and then I'll go with you." Sui He nodded and started packing up with his grandfather.

"Sui Sui, what do you think the restaurant owner wants to do when he sees us?" Grandma asked worriedly.

"I can probably guess a little bit. Don't worry, grandma. Maybe it will be a good thing for us." Sui He gently comforted grandma.

Wang Quan also helped to pack up, and then took Sui He to the kitchen through the back door of the restaurant.

When they arrived at the kitchen, a middle-aged man in a long gown was waiting for them.

"Boss, I brought them here, and I got the tofu too," Wang Quan shouted to Boss Liu.

"This must be Brother Chen. I am the owner of this restaurant. My last name is Liu." The middle-aged man said with a smile.

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. Hello, Manager Liu, I wonder what you want from me?" Grandpa also responded politely.

"It's like this, Brother Chen. I heard that there is a new food called tofu in the city recently. Is that tofu made in your family?" Shopkeeper Liu said straight to the point.

"Yes, that tofu is made in my family," Grandpa replied

"That's great. I heard that even the literati and scholars praised this tofu. I wonder if it's true." Shopkeeper Liu smiled with a sly smile.

"Whether it's true or not, Shopkeeper Liu, you will know if you try it." Sui He stepped forward and spoke

"Oh, does this guy know how to make these tofu?" Shopkeeper Liu's smile grew wider.

"Since my family is selling tofu, we can definitely make a few side dishes. Can Manager Liu lend me the kitchen?" In her previous life, Sui He didn't have any other skills, but she knew a little about food. Although she couldn't compare to those great chefs, with the little skills in her mind, couldn't she handle these ancient people?

"Sure, you can use the kitchen as you like." Shopkeeper Liu seemed to be waiting for him to say this. When Sui He opened his mouth, he immediately called the kitchen staff to come out.

Grandma Suisui wanted to stop her, but she failed.

"You two, why don't you come with me to the private room and have something to eat?" Shopkeeper Liu stopped the grandparents and led them into the private room, then told Wang Quan to serve them tea and snacks.

He drank his tea leisurely, thinking about what he was going to say next. As a businessman, he heard some diners discussing this tofu yesterday. He was curious and sent someone to inquire about it. After finding out the location, he sent someone to wait there early in the morning. He wanted to see what the tofu that the diners praised so much was like.

When I saw it today, it was just as the rumors said, white as jade, and it smelled like a faint fragrance.

"I have been running a restaurant in this city for decades, and I have seen all kinds of delicacies, but this tofu is the first time I have seen it." Shopkeeper Liu said, "I will try it later."

Grandpa and grandma looked at each other, looking towards the door from time to time, feeling anxious.

Sui He walked into the kitchen. There were not many people in the kitchen, only one or two servants helping to light the fire.

As expected of a hotel, the seasonings were all there. The table was filled with bottles and jars. After studying for a while, I roughly knew what the seasonings were. Then I cut the tofu I brought into small pieces and prepared them.

She saw peppercorns and peppercorns. She didn't expect that there was a condiment called pepper in this world. It was a surprise.

Since we have these two things, it's easy to say

Sui He worked hard for a while, and soon three plates of tofu dishes were ready.

Mapo tofu, fried crispy tofu, and cold tofu were served on the table. Suihe also arranged the tofu slightly.

On the dining table, a plate of steaming hot Mapo Tofu exudes an alluring aroma, and the spicy and stimulating taste has spread throughout the room.

Sui He looked at the white Mapo Tofu with disdain. Pepper can only provide spicy taste, with only fragrance but no color. Sure enough, Mapo Tofu still needs to be served with pepper.

The green onions and tofu are neatly cut into small pieces, the white and green complement each other, and the fried tofu is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Shopkeeper Liu was the first to pick up his chopsticks and tasted the Mapo Tofu. He was immediately surprised.

"This taste... is really good! It is indeed soft in the mouth, and the addition of pepper makes it even more spicy and fragrant."

Sui He stood aside, feeling secretly proud.

Shopkeeper Liu took a few bites of the other two dishes and praised them highly.

At this time, Manager Liu looked at the second grandfather, and a shrewd look flashed in his eyes.

"I wonder if Brother Chen is willing to sell me this tofu recipe?" Shopkeeper Liu asked straight to the point.

The second grandfather was shocked. This shopkeeper Liu was indeed planning this. But it was also true that they were doing business and they liked to hold all the good things in their own hands.

He pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Manager Liu, this recipe is an heirloom in my family. I can't sell it to you."

Shopkeeper Liu smiled and said, "Of course I know this is an ancestral recipe, and I won't let you suffer a loss. Let me give you thirty taels of silver to buy your recipe for making tofu. You can make tofu in the future, and I won't stop you. But you can only eat the tofu you make, and you can't sell it to others."

Thirty taels of silver! Grandpa and grandma were stunned. This is a huge sum of money!

The three of them looked at each other, and Sui He shook his head calmly.

"Manager Liu, thank you for your kindness. But we don't sell this recipe. However, we can cooperate." Grandpa said slowly.

A hint of surprise flashed across Manager Liu's eyes. "Cooperation? How do we cooperate?"

Second Grandpa went on to say, "We can provide tofu to your restaurant, but we will keep the recipe. Moreover, we will only cooperate with your restaurant, so that your restaurant will have exclusive special dishes, and business will definitely be better."

Shopkeeper Liu pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's fine, but you have to promise that all the tofu you make can only be sent to me. Of course, it's okay for you to make it and eat it yourself."

"No problem." Second Grandpa agreed readily. "But we have limited manpower. We will deliver goods to your restaurant every two days, ten pieces of tofu each time. Is that okay with you?"

"Okay, then we have a deal. Send ten sheets of tofu over the day after tomorrow, and we'll sign a contract and it'll be done."

"Okay, Manager Liu." Second Grandpa smiled and nodded, feeling relieved.

Shopkeeper Liu asked Wang Quan to bring up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and wrote a contract. Second Grandpa took the contract and read it carefully.

Seeing that Second Grandpa was reading seriously, Shopkeeper Liu was a little surprised: "Brother Chen, can you read?"

"I've learned some before." Seeing that there was no problem, the second grandfather picked up the pen and wrote down his name

"I see." Shopkeeper Liu said nothing more and handed the money for the tofu and the deposit for the next batch of tofu to Second Grandpa.

The second grandfather put the copper coins into his purse and said goodbye to Manager Liu: "Manager Liu, in this case, we will not disturb you from having a meal. Bye first."

"Okay, please take care." Manager Liu did not stand up. After Sui He and the other two walked away, he immediately ordered the chefs in the kitchen to come up.
