After being divorced, I took care of my two children and reached the peak of my life

Shopkeeper Tong looked up at the sky. It was already late, and it was not suitable to talk about work here in such a hot day, so he spoke.

"It's like this, I have a business deal I want to discuss with Sister Han, and this isn't a suitable place to have a conversation. How about Sister Han, let's go to the restaurant and have some tea and talk slowly..."

Han Yiyi looked at the man opposite her and found that although he had the shrewdness of a businessman, he did not look like a bad person. Moreover, with his current appearance, there was no reason for him to scheme against him, so he nodded slightly.

Da Niu was already blaming himself for being useless just now, and now he saw someone looking for Han Yiyi and asking her to go to a restaurant, so he went to Yunlai Restaurant with her without feeling reassured.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Han Yiyi discovered that although Yunlai Restaurant was the largest restaurant in town, it was only about the same size as an ordinary restaurant today. But it was not surprising, after all, Ping'an Town was not big.

The restaurant has two floors. There are seven or eight tables downstairs for individual customers. Han Yiyi took a rough look at the layout of the second floor and saw that there seemed to be about four or five private rooms.

Han Yiyi was led to the second floor, while Daniu was left on the first floor. Daniu was still a little worried. Seeing the look Han Yiyi gave him, he carefully found an empty seat in the corner and sat down. However, he still couldn't help but look up and take a closer look. After all, this was his first time in a restaurant.

The waiter of the restaurant saw that Da Niu was with Han Yiyi, and that Han Yiyi was politely invited to the second floor by his own boss, so he tactfully served a pot of tea and a plate of snacks to Da Niu's seat.

When Danniu saw the tea and snacks placed in front of him, he stood up in shock and spoke hurriedly.

"I, I don't want these things..." In Danniu's opinion, these things looked very exquisite and must be expensive. He only had some copper coins in his pocket from buying the bamboo pillow today, and the string of copper coins the man threw to him...

Seeing that Da Niu was so nervous, the waiter quickly spoke.

"Don't be nervous, little brother, these things are free..."

After saying that, he went back to busy himself with other things, but he still looked up in the direction of the second floor. He didn't understand why his boss brought these two people to the restaurant. It was obvious that these two people came from the village and had never seen the world.

The waiter downstairs thought so, but the shopkeeper Tong upstairs had a different idea when he faced Han Yiyi.

From the moment they entered the restaurant, Shopkeeper Tong carefully observed Han Yiyi's expression. Not only was there no surprise in her eyes, but there was even a feeling of being nothing special. It did not look like the expression a village woman should have for the first time, so Shopkeeper Tong could not help but ask.

"Sister Han, have you been to my Yunlai Restaurant..."

"No, this is my first time here today..."

In fact, the reason why Manager Tong invited Han Yiyi to Yunlai Restaurant for a talk was to let him see what Yunlai Restaurant looked like, and to make him feel that it was his honor to do business with Yunlai Restaurant. Then the subsequent business would naturally be much easier to talk about.

But who would have thought that after Han Yiyi saw the restaurant, there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes. Therefore, Manager Tong couldn't help but frowned slightly.

If Han Yiyi knew what Shopkeeper Tong was thinking, she would probably roll her eyes at him. Who was she? She was a food blogger in her previous life. She had eaten at all kinds of restaurants. Compared with those, the Yunlai Restaurant in front of her could barely be considered a fly restaurant.

Han Yiyi picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, then looked at the shopkeeper Tong opposite and asked with a smile.

"Shopkeeper Tong is interested in my marinade recipe..."

Shopkeeper Tong looked at Han Yiyi like this and suddenly felt that he was not facing an ordinary woman, but a man with a long experience in business. His expression became more serious and he replied with a smile.

"It seems that Sister Han is a straightforward person, so I, Tong, will not hide anything. Yunlai Restaurant is indeed interested in Sister Han's marinade recipe. I wonder if Sister Han is willing to sell it. The price is negotiable..."

Han Yiyi was not surprised to hear what Shopkeeper Tong said. In fact, Han Yiyi had planned to rent a small shop to sell braised meat before. However, it would be fine to sell it if the price was right. After all, braised meat was not the only food on her mind. Now that she had money, she could build a house soon.

Moreover, when she went upstairs just now, she saw a person quickly enter the kitchen. Han Yiyi had a very good impression of that person. He bought her braised food almost every day these days, and asked for a lot of marinade every time. It seemed that they had been researching their own marinade for some time, but they had not figured it out yet, so they thought about buying it.

However, Han Yiyi never dared to underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. It was only a matter of time before they figured it out, so he asked.

"I wonder how much Manager Tong wants to pay for it..."

"Thirty taels..."

In fact, Manager Tong said thirty taels after careful consideration. He knew that an ordinary farmer might not be able to save four or five taels of silver in a year, and thirty taels was their savings for six or seven years.

Moreover, he had roughly calculated Han Yiyi's profit. Although the large intestines and pig heads and offal were cheap, Han Yiyi could wash the large intestines without any smell, so they must have been washed with salt and flour, and then added with marinade, which greatly increased the cost. Calculated in this way, her daily profit was only a little over a hundred coins. If he paid thirty taels himself, it would be equal to her profit for almost a year.

"Hmph! It seems that Shopkeeper Tong is not sincere in buying my marinade recipe. In that case, I'll leave first..."

Shopkeeper Tong was originally waiting for Han Yiyi to happily agree, but he didn't expect to hear Han Yiyi say that she wanted to leave. He was stunned for a moment before he reacted and hurriedly spoke again.

"Sister Han, don't be anxious. We are of course sincere in purchasing the marinade recipe, otherwise we would not have invited you here. If Sister Han thinks the price is too low, we can negotiate..."

Hearing what Shopkeeper Tong said, Han Yiyi sat back down and couldn't help but think of a dialogue in a movie he had seen before, "It's up to me to ask for the price, and it's also up to you to bargain..." He couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth and spoke.

"Shopkeeper Tong also knows the value of my marinade recipe. You can use it not only to braise large intestines and pork heads, but also chicken, duck, or game. Even if you only use the marinade to stew dishes, the taste will be incomparable to ordinary stews..."

Shopkeeper Tong naturally knew that what Han Yiyi said was true. The kitchen staff had been studying the marinade a lot in the past few days. If the boss hadn't seen its value, he probably wouldn't have let him buy it so quickly.
