Get the resurrection scroll, and eat melons and meat after entering the book

Did they hire a chef again? It would be fine if she was a woman, but she doesn't look like one dressed like that!

What was going on? The chef walked up behind the shopkeeper and asked, "Shopkeeper, are you here to pry open the shop?"

The shopkeeper, seeing that it was his own chef, secretly gave him a reassuring look. Seeing that no one was willing to step forward to help, he directed them, "Xiao Shanzi, be more observant and see what you two need."

Xiao Shanzi received the order and then stepped forward to help.

The shopkeeper had time to relax and lowered his voice to the chef, saying, "I dare not offend the person the boss brought with him. It seems that she might be the cook the boss wants to test."

Cooks are employed in the backyards of wealthy families and will not compete for work in restaurants. The food they cook is mostly small and exquisite.

The chef didn't understand what the woman who cooked the eggplant was doing, but he saw that the woman who cooked the pineapple was indeed cooking it in a very small size.

In just a few words, no one noticed what the girl poured into the pot. The other three chefs were standing far away and didn't see what was put in, but they couldn't see it clearly.

He Cui once again made a mini version of the rice roll, but added a little kimchi to it. Wu Qing saw it and secretly gave her a thumbs up.

Wu Qing made some soybean paste and stewed some eggplant.

Madam Xu took only one bite and quickly called the shopkeeper and the chef over. "Come and try this dish. Does it compare to what we have at Shengyuanju?"

Wu Qing's face flushed all the way to her neck when she heard this, and she felt like she was on fire. How could a half-baked person like her compete with a professional?

The fourth chef and the shopkeeper both brought their own chopsticks. They tasted each dish and looked at each other.

What's this smell?

I don't know, I've never had it. Each dish has a distinct flavor.

The chef asked first: "What is this eggplant made of? What is added to this dish?"

Madam Xu looked at the chef and kept the secret, "Just tell me, okay?"

The chef nodded repeatedly, "It's a different taste, I've never tasted it before. I just saw that the cook made it, and it wasn't complicated. This..."

Madam Xu then said, "It's not complicated, just a few seasonings. And..." She glanced at the red and white things she had never seen before, which looked like pickled vegetables, "and some special dishes."

The chef and the shopkeeper both looked surprised, as it was clearly a complex taste.

The shopkeeper asked, "Does the boss have any seasoning?"

The chef pointed to the kimchi in the teacup on the table, then pointed to the cabbage, and asked, "Is this what's in this dish?"

Mrs. Xu shook her head. "I don't know." She smiled and looked at Wu Qing. "What did Miss Wu say?"

Wu Qing also smiled, and then sat down with peace of mind. "I'm not selling this seasoning. I wonder if I can discuss cooperation with Madam."

When the chef saw the cook's wife sitting opposite the boss, he was frightened and pulled the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper also realized that something was wrong and that he must have guessed wrong. He hurriedly said, "Boss, please go ahead and talk. I'll prepare the food for you right away. Does this young lady have any requests?"

Mrs. Xu had also heard Wu Qing being called the cook just now. Seeing that Wu Qing was not in the mood to do anything, she felt no need to lecture her. She waved her hand and said, "Don't embarrass yourself in front of her. Just let the two Hua Kai Fu Gui serve at the noodle counter."

Seeing that everyone had left, only Madam Xu, Wu Qing, one of Madam Xu's maids, and He Cui were left in the room. Madam Xu then asked, "How can we cooperate?"

Wu Qing said, "I heard that Madam is from a merchant family..." Before she could finish her words, she saw Madam Xu's face change. Wu Qing reacted in the blink of an eye. She realized that merchants had no status in this era, so she hurriedly said, "Then Madam must be very good at business. I admire people like her." As she spoke, her eyes lit up and she looked like a little fangirl.

When Mrs. Xu heard Wu Qing mention her merchant background, she thought Wu Qing was going to say something sarcastic or derogatory, but she didn't expect her admiration to be so overwhelming that she was stunned. "Ah - this..." She didn't know what to say for a moment.

Wu Qing saw Madam Xu's expression improve, and then continued, "Madam, you know it's inconvenient for me to leave the palace, so I thought of handing over the sale of this seasoning to you. What do you think, Madam?"

Mrs. Xu was stunned and couldn't believe her ears. "What did you say?"

Wu Qing pressed her palm downward. "Don't worry, Madam. We don't have much of this seasoning ready right now. I can provide it all to you. As for whether you'll use it in your own restaurant or sell it, I won't interfere. But there are two things we have to agree on: First, the quantity isn't large yet." She calculated that northern soybean paste is usually prepared and stewed in February and finished by June, a total of four months. With that in mind, she said, "In five to six months, the quantity will be ten or even a hundred times what it is now. I need you to sell it all. Second, there's a three-year limit. After that, I'll make the recipe public so ordinary people can make it themselves."

Wu Qing took a sip of tea and let Madam Xu digest what she had heard. "So, Madam Xu, are you willing to cooperate?"

Madam Xu thought for a moment and asked, "Miss Wu, could you please limit the quantity for the first six months? During this time, I'll only be selling it in the backyards of various large mansions, so I won't need too much. Would you mind selling it in larger quantities after a year?"

Wu Qing understood that small but good is the stage of maximizing profits, and then slowly increasing the quantity. What a good idea!

Besides, this time is just enough to give Madam Morita time to make more, which is not a bad thing. She nodded and said, "This can be discussed. Give Madam four days. When I leave the palace next time, Madam, tell me how much you need. As for selling it, I don't want to sell it all to Madam, but I want to split the profits with Madam."

Mrs. Xu only considered it for a moment before agreeing and quickly suggested, "How about a 60/40 split, Miss Wu? You get 60, and I get 40."

Wu Qing originally thought that the profits would be split 50-50, but she didn't expect Mrs. Xu to bring up the June 4th issue. It suddenly dawned on her that this was not just for the sake of the soybean paste, but more importantly because of Prince Yi who was behind her.

Anyway, the bulk of the money would definitely be given to Prince Yi, so Wu Qing immediately nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Xu didn't expect Wu Qing to agree so readily, and she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes.

When Wu Qing saw this, she slapped her thigh in her heart. This left room for bargaining. It was over. She was going to get less!

She almost saw Yin Zi flapping her wings and flying away from her eyes, flying away...

It has come to this. A man without integrity cannot stand. Let’s do it on June 4th! “I can’t read much. Sister, please write a letter and I will take it back to give the prince an explanation.”

Don't try to trick me. I'm illiterate, but the prince is not.

Madam Xu smiled. "Before, the deed was reported to the government office, but today it is reported directly to the prince."

Wu Qing then remembered that in ancient times, deeds had to be certified by the government office. She wanted to show it to Helian Han, so did she still need to take it to the government office?

Oh! Who cares? No matter where I reported it, as long as it works, I can ask Helian Han about it later.

Madam Xu pointed at the soybean paste on the table and asked, "That first batch...does this have a name?"

"Sauce." Wu Qing also wrote the words on the table with tea.

Mrs. Xu looked at it and nodded, then asked, "When will the first batch of sauce be provided, young lady?"

"October 5th, it's past noon, and I can't decide on an exact time. Madam Xu can just arrange for someone to wait for me here." The main reason was that Wu Qing still had something to say to Shoutian's wife, and it was unclear how long the two would have to communicate.

"No, I will be waiting here after noon on October 5th." Mr. Xu showed his sincerity. "I wonder how much you will deliver on the fifth day?"

"I don't know." Wu Qing shook her head decisively, "How about we talk about it on the fifth day?" If she didn't ask Shoutian's wife, she wouldn't be able to make up her mind!

Madam Xu misunderstood that Wu Qing couldn't make up her mind and wanted to go back and ask Prince Yi. She nodded and said, "Okay. I hope we can finalize everything when we meet next time."

Wu Qing made an OK gesture, but when she saw something was wrong, she quickly retracted it.

Mrs. Xu pointed at the kimchi and asked, "What is this called?"

Wu Qing was too lazy to come up with another name and blurted out, "Kimchi."

Mrs. Xu's eyes lit up as she looked at the spicy cabbage. "Is this a possible collaboration?"

Wu Qing shook her head. With the current storage and transportation conditions, kimchi couldn't be sent far away for sale. It could only be sold in the capital. How to cooperate on this matter still needed to be considered... "Kimchi is different from sauce. Let me think about it."

Suddenly there was a light and rhythmic knock on the door. Mrs. Xu nodded, and the maid beside her went to open the door.

Then I heard the shopkeeper's voice outside the door saying, "The flowers are in full bloom and rich and prosperous, please enjoy your meal, boss."
