Traveling through time as a peasant girl, buying a husband and raising a child

"I wonder what big business this young lady wants to discuss with me, Jin Yu Man Tang?"

At this moment, a voice was heard from the stairs on the second floor of Jin Yumantang.

Mu Jiaojiao looked over when she heard the voice and saw a young man wearing a golden crown, with a high ponytail, delicate features, amber eyes, dressed in yellow, and waving a white silk fan with eight pictures of beauties in different shapes painted on the fan. He was standing on the second floor and looking at Mu Jiaojiao with curiosity.

"Young master's family."

The waiter at Jin Yu Man Tang naturally saw the young man and immediately bowed to him.

"A wealthy young master?"

Mu Jiaojiao looked at the boy to confirm his identity.

"It's my young master."

The young man's clear male voice sounded, and then he walked down the wooden stairs, waving a fan in his hand, showing his romantic charm.

"I heard that you want to do business with Jin Yu Man Tang?"

The young boy looked at Mu Jiaojiao with sparkling eyes, and there was shrewdness hidden deep in his eyes.

"We're talking here?"

Mu Jiaojiao did not answer the boy's question, but looked around and asked the boy back.

"That's really interesting, Xiao Qi, send some wine and food to Meixuan, the young master wants to entertain the beautiful young lady."

The young master of a wealthy family looked at Mu Jiaojiao. Although she was dressed in ordinary clothes, she had a graceful figure and a cool and clear temperament. She was obviously a real beauty at first glance.

"Young lady, please."

After giving instructions to his servant, he extended his hand to Mu Jiaojiao as if to invite her in.

Mu Jiaojiao glanced at him and walked up the stairs gracefully.

Inside Nongmeixuan.

The Nongmei Pavilion is decorated with plum blossoms as its main theme. Two red plum blossom paintings hang on the wall. One painting is inscribed with the following inscription: "Don't be jealous of each other, peach and plum blossoms, their beauty is different." The other painting is inscribed with the following inscription: "Still has the appearance of snow and frost, yet refuses to be completely red."

In addition, the table around which Mu Jiaojiao and the wealthy young master sat was also carved with vivid black plum blossoms. There was also a white porcelain vase on the table, with two red plum blossoms blooming wildly in the vase.

"Can the young master be the master of this rich and beautiful house?"

Mu Jiaojiao looked at the elegant decoration and felt that although the name of Jin Yu Man Tang was tacky, the name and decoration of the private room were quite tasteful, which was very different from his name and the name of the young master.

"Of course, my dear lady, please don't look down on me. And don't call me Young Master anymore. Just call me Jin Bao'er."

Jin Baoer preached to Mu Jiaojiao arrogantly.

"The young master is quite straightforward. My name is Mu Jiaojiao."

Mu Jiaojiao saw that although Jin Baoer was smart, he had a very strong-willed youth and looked a bit cocky.

"Madam Jiaojiao, what kind of business do you want to discuss with me, Jin Yu Man Tang?"

Jin Baoer followed the lead and asked Mu Jiaojiao again with great interest.

"I want to cooperate with Jin Yu Man Tang to expand the variety of your dishes and make Jin Yu Man Tang bigger and stronger than it is now."

Mu Jiaojiao no longer avoided the issue and spoke directly.

"More dishes? Could it be that Madam Jiaojiao is a great cook and has many recipes?"

Jin Baoer had only been in Hexi Town for a few days. As a young master, he would probably never have come to this small branch in Hexi Town in his entire life if he hadn't wanted to avoid his father who threatened to break his legs.

So naturally, I didn’t know that Mu Jiaojiao had sold candied haws before, nor did I know that the braised meat she sold for the first time today was also praised by everyone.

"Well, I can cook a lot of dishes, and they taste great. Today I sold some braised meat, and people from Fu Lai Restaurant came over to snatch it away."

Mu Jiaojiao told Jin Baoer the truth about what happened today. He was not afraid that Jin Baoer would raise the price. At worst, if they couldn't reach an agreement, he could slowly make money and open a restaurant of his own.

She was not afraid that Jin Baoer would covet her recipe. She, Mu Jiaojiao, was not a soft persimmon that could be easily bullied.

After hearing this, Jin Baoer's eyes flashed. So this Madam Mu must have taken a fancy to his Jin Yu Man Tang and the Fu Lai Restaurant because they were not on good terms.

What a vindictive little girl!

but

he likes!

"So, you want me, Jin Yu Man Tang, to challenge Fu Lai Restaurant, so that you can protect yourself?

Then I, with all my wealth, would be a victim, and what would I gain from it?"

Like it or not, just treat it as it is.

You should not suffer losses that you should not suffer. In a sense, our young master Jin has the same ability as his father to cheat others with a smile.

Moreover, he is also interested in the braised pork recipe that Fulai Restaurant is interested in and wants to steal!

"Young Master thinks highly of Fu Lai Restaurant. I don't have the time and energy to go to great lengths to find a rival to compete with Fu Lai Restaurant. I simply discovered today's incident that I can find a new way to make money."

Mu Jiaojiao sneered when she heard that, and then said to Jin Baoer that she was not afraid of Fulai Restaurant. If it really didn't work, she could take some unnecessary measures.

"I admit that I came to you, Jin Yu Man Tang, with the intention of causing displeasure for Fu Lai Restaurant, but begging you to protect me is completely unnecessary."

Then Mu Jiaojiao spoke confidently, proudly and dazzlingly.

"Hahaha, Miss Jiaojiao, you are indeed an interesting person."

Jin Baoer looked at Mu Jiaojiao's demeanor and listened to her slightly arrogant words. Somehow she didn't suspect that Mu Jiaojiao was exaggerating.

He laughed loudly and praised Mu Jiaojiao.

"I wonder how exactly Madam Jiaojiao wants to cooperate?"

Then he asked Mu Jiaojiao with great interest about the specific methods of cooperation.

"I will give Jin Yu Man Tang a new dish recipe every month and teach the chefs there how to make it, but I want 50% of the profits from the new dish."

Mu Jiaojiao directly put forward the conditions.

After Jin Baoer heard what Mu Jiaojiao said, he put away his fan, tapped the table, and said after a moment of contemplation:

"Madam Jiaojiao, let's not talk about the recipe you mentioned. You don't have to provide anything but the recipe. We at Jinyu Mantang have invested money, labor and expenses, and you want 50%. Isn't that very unreasonable?

We at Jinyumantang basically don’t have any profit to make.”

"Whether the dishes are worth it or not, I will naturally prove it to the young master in a moment, and the so-called 50% loss of your Jin Yu Man Tang is even more short-sighted of the young master.

When someone comes to eat alone, they won’t just order my new dishes; there will always be other dishes. The chain reaction of adding this dish is immeasurable.”

Mu Jiaojiao calmly discussed with Jin Baoer during the conversation.

She could see that although Jin Bao'er seemed unruly and coquettish, she was actually a person with great ambition and scheming.

"Then Madam Jiaojiao, go and make a dish first. If it is truly a delicacy as you say, one that cannot be surpassed by any other delicacy on the planet, then I will give you a fifty-fifty commission. I, Jin Baoer, will boldly cooperate with you."

Jin Bao'er didn't act until she saw the rabbit, although she admired Mu Jiaojiao very much for having such courage as a country woman.

The conversation and behavior were quite to his liking, but for this kind of thing, Mu Jiaojiao still needed to come up with a dish that could convince him.

"Of course, I'd like to borrow your kitchen."

Mu Jiaojiao had no objection, stood up and said to Jin Baoer.

Jin Baoer's cautious and pragmatic approach made Mu Jiaojiao feel that cooperating with such a person might make her feel more at ease.

"Xiao Qi, take Madam Jiaojiao to the kitchen."

Jin Baoer called out to the door of Nongmeixuan, and the round-faced servant who had been arranging the dishes pushed the door open and walked in. He then gestured to Mu Jiaojiao:

"Okay, Master. Madam Mu, please follow me."
