Although Shopkeeper Tong knew that the marinade recipe was valuable, he was not in the same boat with the buyer after all, so he hoped to buy the marinade recipe at the lowest price, thinking that his boss would look at him differently.

But now seeing Han Yiyi's attitude, he couldn't help but frowned slightly and asked.

"In that case, it's better for Sister Han to name the price. But you also know that this is just a town and our people don't go to the provincial capital. Besides, our Yunlai Restaurant is considered the largest restaurant in this town..."

In fact, what Manager Tong meant by saying this was to remind Han Yiyi not to ask for an exorbitant price. They were already the most powerful in Ping'an Town. If the price was too high, their Yunlai Restaurant would not be able to afford it, and probably no one in the entire Ping'an Town would be able to afford it.

After hearing what Shopkeeper Tong said, Han Yi just smiled and said, "Since Shopkeeper Tong asked me to make an offer, I won't be polite. Actually, I originally planned to rent a small shop in this town to sell braised food. After all, it is a skill, and it is enough to support my family. But now that Shopkeeper Tong really wants to buy it, I will sell it to Shopkeeper Tong, and then think about other ways to make a living. But I won't sell it unless the price is eighty taels..."

The more Shopkeeper Tong listened to Han Yiyi's words, the less they sounded like something a peasant woman could say. After hearing Han Yiyi's price, Shopkeeper Tong was so shocked that he stood up, not for anything else, but because the minimum price his boss had given him was eighty taels.

As a result, Shopkeeper Tong's eyes changed when he looked at Han Yiyi. Their boss came back to inspect the shop a few days ago and saw the potential of this braised food. Knowing that it was developed by a peasant woman, he ordered him to buy it. He originally wanted to let the kitchen staff research it, but if he could develop it himself, it would be a great achievement in front of the boss.

But after studying it for several days without any results, he was worried that his boss would be anxious, so he hurriedly thought of buying it from Han Yiyi. He offered thirty taels of silver, hoping to save some money for his boss so that he would look at him differently. However, Han Yiyi quoted a low price as soon as he opened his mouth.

Shopkeeper Tong suddenly realized that he had lost his composure in front of a peasant woman. He quickly raised his hand to cover up and coughed lightly, then slowly sat down, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, then continued to speak.

"Boss Han, this is a bit too much..."

Hearing what Shopkeeper Tong said, Han Yiyi was not angry. She just stood up slowly and spoke.

"Since Manager Tong is not satisfied with the price, I won't sell it to you...", and then he raised his foot to leave.

Shopkeeper Tong had been the shopkeeper of Yunlai Restaurant for so many years, but he had never seen anyone as direct as Han Yiyi. He didn't even give him a chance to bargain, so he was a little annoyed. However, when he saw Han Yiyi leave without any reluctance, Shopkeeper Tong became a little panicked.

If he messed up this matter, he would definitely be scolded by his boss, so he hurriedly called Han Yiyi to stop.

When Han Yiyi heard the shout from Shopkeeper Tong, she stopped in a hurry, then let out a light breath, made a scissors hand gesture to herself in her heart, and thought to herself, it's a good thing that she kept her composure.

In the end, Han Yiyi sold the marinade recipe to Yunlai Restaurant for eighty taels of silver, and promised not to disclose the recipe to other merchants or restaurants, and not to sell it herself.

Shopkeeper Tong paid Han Yiyi eighty taels of silver on the spot, and Han Yiyi memorized the recipe on the spot and asked the shopkeeper to write it down himself.

As for why Han Yiyi didn't write it himself, it was because the original owner was illiterate. Han Yiyi couldn't write traditional Chinese characters, let alone use a brush.

Although Han Yiyi always threw in a pack of marinade packets exchanged in the system for convenience every time she made braised food, but later after recalling her previous memories, she also used the star anise and cinnamon bought at the clinic to match the flavor of the marinade packets, otherwise she really wouldn't dare to buy a house.

After getting the recipe, Manager Tong hurriedly ordered people to prepare it. Seeing that it was getting late, she asked Han Yiyi to stay in the restaurant for dinner. Han Yiyi knew that he wanted to see if the recipe she gave was correct, so Han Yiyi unceremoniously called Da Niu to the second floor to have dinner together.

Da Niu was already waiting anxiously on the first floor. He didn't dare to touch the things on the table for fear that he would be charged. When he heard Han Yiyi calling him to go upstairs, he quickly got up and walked upstairs. Maybe he was too nervous or something, but he almost stumbled when he went up the stairs.

Looking at the exquisite dishes and white rice in front of him, Da Niu swallowed unconsciously, but he was hesitant to pick up his chopsticks.

Shopkeeper Tong was pretty nice. He served them a braised fish, a plate of minced meat tofu, and a plate of green stir-fried vegetables, with a big bowl of rice on the side.

Han Yiyi saw that Da Niu was slow to pick up his chopsticks, so she picked up a piece of fish and put it in his bowl.

"Eat quickly. This is a treat from the owner here. Let's go back quickly after eating. Uncle Wei is still waiting for us. Don't make him wait anxiously..."

After hearing what Han Yiyi said, Daniu started eating with big mouthfuls.

Han Yiyi also picked up a piece of fish and put it into her mouth. As soon as the fish entered her mouth, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. It tasted quite good.

In just one stick of incense, the two of them finished all the dishes and rice on the table. Of course, most of them were eaten by Da Niu.

Seeing that there were only a few empty plates and bowls left on the table, Da Niu's face actually turned slightly red, but fortunately he was dark-skinned so it couldn't be seen.

Just as the two of them finished their meal, Shopkeeper Tong walked in with a smile on his face. It seemed that he had confirmed that the marinade recipe was authentic.

When Shopkeeper Tong walked in and saw the empty bowl on the table, he spoke subconsciously.

"It's time for dinner now. Why don't I ask the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes for Sister Han to take back home..."

"Okay, then thank you, Manager Tong..."

In fact, Shopkeeper Tong was just being polite, but he didn't expect Han Yiyi to be so rude. After being stunned for a moment, he burst into laughter and said,

"Sister Han is very straightforward. Okay, then please wait for a moment, Sister Han..."

Han Yiyi naturally knew that Shopkeeper Tong was just being polite, but in her opinion, it was a good deal. Moreover, she thought the food in the restaurant tasted pretty good, so she wanted to let the two children try it too. However, she didn't want to pay for it herself, so she could only let Shopkeeper Tong do it...

Looking at the person leaving with the food box, Shopkeeper Tong couldn't help but rub his brow with a headache.

He secretly thought that he would never do business with this person again. However, what Shopkeeper Tong didn't know was that in the near future, the two of them would have business dealings again, and next time he would be the one to ask for business.
