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

Shopkeeper Li saw Sui He's suspicion and shook his head hastily, revealing a hint of sarcasm on his face. "Don't worry, sir. My boss's store is neither big nor small. Since I dare to buy it, I am not afraid of his HSBC Restaurant," he said, and asked the waiter to hand over a box. "This is the deposit for tofu. Please take a look, sir."

Sui He opened the box and found some copper coins and a silver note worth two hundred taels.

Sui He looked at Shopkeeper Li in surprise, "This is..."

Manager Li explained: "This copper coin is the deposit for tofu in our restaurant, and the two hundred taels of silver note is to ask you for something."

When Sui He heard this, he looked at Shopkeeper Li warily and asked, "What do you want?"

Shopkeeper Li naturally saw Sui He's defensiveness, and after going through so much, some of his vigilance was accurate: "I wonder if you can make Wensi tofu?"

Shopkeeper Li smiled and said with certainty, "Young Master, don't worry about it. If you are willing to teach me, these two hundred taels of silver will be yours."

Sui He hesitated for a moment. He really needed the two hundred taels now, but he didn't want to trust anyone easily. What if this Tongren Restaurant was the same as the HSBC Restaurant? But if he didn't teach him, he would be overwhelmed by the HSBC Restaurant alone.

However, the Tongren Restaurant was much more sincere than the HSBC Restaurant and even gave him two hundred taels of silver.

"Ah, I remember now." Just when Sui He was hesitating, the waiter next to him exclaimed: "I was wondering why this little brother looks so familiar, it turns out to be you!"

Sui He was a little stunned and looked at the waiter beside him in confusion. Could it be that they knew each other?

"Boss, have you forgotten? A few months ago, the kid who bought groceries..." The waiter kept winking at Boss Li, trying to wake up the memory in his mind.

Shopkeeper Li looked at his waiter who was winking at him, then looked at Sui He who was also puzzled. He looked him up and down carefully. Something flashed through his mind and he exclaimed in surprise: "It's you?"

"what?"

Sui He suddenly remembered that a few months ago, when he passed by a place, he wanted to buy buns and sold the dishes in the space to a restaurant: "It's you guys."

"Oh, you finally remembered. I felt that Brother Chen looked familiar when I walked in. It turns out that we have met before." The waiter was relieved when he saw that both of them remembered.

"Huh, good boy, I've been waiting for you for so long, and you actually came here. Where is the food you promised to bring me? Where did you send it to?" After Manager Li remembered who Chen Suihe was, he was furious. During that time, he was looking forward to Chen Suihe bringing him food, and he waited at the door of the restaurant every day. Sometimes he would send people to wait at the city gate, but no one came no matter how long he waited.

When their town took in too many refugees, they thought they would never see him again in their lifetime, but unexpectedly, they saw him here.

"I didn't promise to send it to you either." After remembering who they were, Sui He was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes.

"Uh... I was wrong before." Sui He scratched his head, "But I really didn't have that many vegetables to buy for you at that time." Everyone was on the road at that time, escaping was the most important thing, so who had time to sell vegetables? Then he asked back, "Why did you appear in Yingcheng?"

"Because there were too many disaster victims in that area, the city couldn't accommodate so many people, so our boss closed the restaurant and arranged for us to come here," the waiter interrupted.

Sui He nodded in understanding. As expected, they had guessed it right. Too many people would easily lead to trouble.

"Let's get back to the point. What do you think of my suggestion? The dishes haven't been delivered to me yet, so don't refuse the tofu." Seeing that it was an acquaintance, Shopkeeper Li relaxed and no longer looked so businesslike. He spoke more casually.

"This..." Sui He lowered his head and thought for a while before nodding: "Okay, but you take these two hundred taels of silver notes back, and I can provide you with the recipe of Wensi tofu. Not only that, I can also provide you with other tofu recipes, and I can also prepare the ingredients here."

Ben was quite happy to hear Sui He agreed, but he didn't expect that he didn't want the 200 taels: "What do you want?"

"I want 20% of the profit from these tofu dishes"

"What?" Shopkeeper Li stood up in shock.

"You heard me right. If you sell a dish made with this tofu, you can give me 20% of the profit. How about that?" Sui He said slowly, taking a sip of the water beside him.

Shopkeeper Li frowned and calculated quickly in his mind. The profit of two floors is not a small amount. If he could get more diverse tofu dishes, it might boost other business of the restaurant. He has seen HSBC Restaurant sell a plate of tofu for a high price.

After thinking for a while, Manager Li gritted his teeth and said, "This 20% profit is not small. As far as I know, HSBC has developed several methods of making tofu. I admit that your tofu is indeed good, but those dishes..."

Sui He smiled and tilted his head. "The best-selling dishes at HSBC Building are still the ones I taught them back then. I am still in control of the real tofu dishes, including the recipe of Wensi tofu."

It's not like he hasn't seen the dishes at HSBC before. The best-selling ones are the ones she made at that time. Just the Mapo Tofu, because there is no chili, it looks a bit like boiled tofu in plain water.

Fortunately, he had a trick up his sleeve when he was cooking: "How about it? Not only can I teach you how to make these tofu, I can also help you find a way to take your restaurant to the next level."

Shopkeeper Li stared at Sui He for a long while, wondering in his heart how confident this young man was.

Finally, he slammed the table and said, "Okay, I believe you! That's settled."

Sui He smiled and stretched out his right hand, "It's a pleasure to work with you. I will bring the materials to Tongren Restaurant in a few days. Please prepare the contract by then, Manager Li."

"In that case, I won't delay any longer. I'll go back and prepare now. I'll meet you at the door in person in a few days." Shopkeeper Li stood up, took the box, and winked at the waiter.

The waiter who received the look ran out of the yard, took out a small box from the carriage they came in, and put it on the table: "This is Baixiangju's snack, little brother, take it and try it, we'll be leaving now."

"Okay, thank you, Shopkeeper Li. Take care, Shopkeeper Li." Sui He stood up and sent Shopkeeper Li and the others to the carriage, watching the carriage marked with Tongren Restaurant gradually go away.

"Boss, do we really need to spend so much money?" The waiter in the carriage asked, waving the whip in his hand.

"The tofu in his hand is really not worth my money, but I am after him as a person." Shopkeeper Li, who was sitting in the carriage, smiled mysteriously.

This man had tofu recipes and maltose recipes in his hand. Any of them could make money. In addition, he had vegetables in his hand. He had investigated before coming here. Chen Suihe came to Yingcheng to escape famine. He could get such fresh vegetables on the road. It can be seen that he is a big shot.

It is possible that he has other things in his hands. Giving him 20% of the profit is just to tie people to his boat. As long as the people are in their house, will he sell the prescription in his hand to others?

He was betting that Suihe had something else in his hand.

It turns out that Shopkeeper Li made the right bet.
