Super rare beast girl, run away! The emperor's uncle is coming!

"Auntie, wild rabbits are thirty-five cents a pound, and pheasants are thirty cents. They're all very fat, look at them."

The women all said it was too expensive, but they didn't want to leave and kept pestering Qu Qingchen to get a cheaper price.

Qu Jingyao tried to help her brother out of trouble, but those women didn't buy her story at all. It was obvious that they were targeting Qu Qingchen.

One of the brave women actually reached out to pull his sleeves, and Qu Qingchen was so scared that he dodged away embarrassedly.

At this time, a steady male voice came from behind the crowd.

"I want all this game."

Qu Qingchen and his sister looked at the man together, and saw a middle-aged man in a clean robe walking to the stall with a smile on his face.

"Ah? Ah, you want them all? Then let me weigh them for you. Hare is thirty-five wen a jin, and pheasant is thirty wen a jin."

The middle-aged man looked gentle, with a shrewd look in his clear eyes. He smiled and said, "This is not cheap!"

When Qu Qingchen heard that his sister's price was indeed a bit more expensive than what he had offered before, he was stopped by her just as he was about to open his mouth.

She smiled calmly and said, "How about buying all of them and I'll give you a free recipe?"

Qu Qingchen glanced at the middle-aged man and saw a cunning glint in his eyes. He then laughed out loud: "Okay, then you can follow me."

As he spoke, the man led them out of the crowd and towards the outside of the market.

Bai Guo asked her why the man agreed as soon as he heard the recipe?

Qu Jingyao slowed down her pace and explained to her brother and Baiguo beside her that she had just smelled a faint smell of oil smoke from the man. She thought that the man was either a cook or a purchasing agent for a mansion or restaurant. He must be a big shot in the restaurant.

Bai Guo suddenly realized and gave her a thumbs up.

Qu Qingchen looked up and saw that the man really led them to the restaurant opposite Zuichunxuan, Yuxuan Pavilion, the only restaurant in Ruyang City that could compete with it.

This restaurant is larger than the Wu family's Zuichunxuan, with three floors. The lobby is packed with guests, and the sound of clinking glasses is endless.

As the man walked into the lobby, the waiter came forward to greet him.

"Shopkeeper Fu, you are back."

"Shan Zi, go weigh the wild animal from behind." After saying that, the man led a few people towards the room on the second floor.

It was Qu Qingchen's first time to come to such a large restaurant, and he looked around curiously.

Bai Guo followed Qu Jingyao quietly, keeping a vigilant eye on his surroundings.

Some people in the lobby saw Qu Jingyao's delicate face and whistled.

Manager Fu glanced over coldly, and those people suddenly quieted down.

"Please come in, young lady."

The few people who came to the private room were asked by Shopkeeper Fu to sit at the table. She looked at the calligraphy and paintings, and the furnishings in the room, and raised the corners of her lips.

"Shopkeeper Fu's private room is very elegantly decorated."

The waiter outside brought a pot of tea, brought the four treasures of the study and placed them on the table, then bowed and respectfully left the room.

"Can the girl write?"

Qu Jingyao nodded slightly, picked up the wolf-hair brush and began to write slowly on the paper. The beautiful small characters startled the shopkeeper Fu opposite.

This peasant girl is quite interesting. Not only can she read and write, but she can also write regular script quite well.

Qu Qingchen looked at his sister with pride, seeing the confidence emanating from her. Since the separation, his sister had become much more cheerful, and he was very pleased.

He and his sister were taught to read and write by their mother. Old Mrs. Xu from the Qu family did not allow him to go to school, so his mother helped the brother and sister to learn to read and write.

But all this was done behind Old Lady Xu's back.

Once she found out, and my mother was beaten by Old Lady Xu. From then on, Qu Qingchen hated this grandmother.

"Okay, Shopkeeper Fu, take a look."

Shopkeeper Fu took the menu and looked at the contents, his tightly pursed lips slightly raised.

"Wonderful! You are truly an extraordinary person. Thank you so much, young lady. What should I call you?"

Qu Qingchen then bowed and said, "Manager Fu, you are too polite. My brother and I are named Qu and we are from Lingshui Village."

Shopkeeper Fu nodded. At this time, the door was knocked by the waiter. He saw the waiter walking in with two packages of snacks in his hands.

"Shopkeeper Fu has weighed it. The hare weighs five and a half pounds, and the pheasant weighs exactly three pounds."

The shopkeeper took out two taels, eight hundred and twenty-five coins and handed them to Qu Qingchen.

"This snack is for the three of you. Don't be quick to refuse. Thank you for the recipe now. If you have a good recipe in the future, please think of Yuxuan Pavilion. The price will definitely not disappoint you."

Qu Qingchen originally intended to refuse the snacks offered by Manager Fu, as he did not want to accept the gift without doing anything. However, as soon as he finished speaking, his sister smiled and pulled on her brother's sleeve, then reached out to take it.

"Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Fu. I'm sure there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future. It's getting late, so we'll take our leave."

Qu Qingchen and his sister said goodbye to Manager Fu, turned around and left the room with Baiguo.

After watching them leave, Shopkeeper Fu quickly walked towards the third floor with the recipe.

"The master is a subordinate."

"Enter!"

Shopkeeper Fu pushed the door open and cautiously walked to the table. He bowed to the man and said, "Master, this is the recipe that the girl left behind."

"Oh? Is this her handwriting?" It's interesting that it's rare for a little peasant girl to have such beautiful handwriting.

The man tapped his slender fingers on the table as he scanned the contents of the menu.

"Yes."

"Then make it and try it."

Shopkeeper Fu responded respectfully, then turned and left the private room.

At this time, the brother and sister came out of the restaurant and walked towards the city gate with happy smiles.

Qu Qingchen was still dazed at the moment. Normally, those wild animals would only fetch a few taels of silver at best. He had never expected his sister to...

"Yaoyao, how did you know that recipe?"

Qu Jingyao stuffed the silver into her purse and handed it to her brother like a treasure. She blinked and said, "I figured it out myself. I'll make it for you when I have the chance."

She called out to the two of them as they continued walking towards the market. Bai Guo asked, "Aren't we going to the city gate to meet up with the village head?"

"Brother, I want to buy some chicks so we can have eggs to eat in the future."

Qu Qingchen felt very uncomfortable when he saw his sister's eager eyes. Although eggs were common, they were a luxury for their family. Old Mrs. Xu always kept a close watch on the eggs in the house and never let them eat any.

The last time he ate eggs was when his father found pheasant eggs in the mountains, roasted them and gave them to his sister and mother.

"Come on, I'll take you to buy some. Let's buy more so you can eat eggs every day in the future."

Baiguo looked at the brother and sister, and a feeling of bitterness welled up in his heart. It turned out that the mistress's life had been so hard in the past.

As they were talking, they had already returned to the market. Seeing that the old lady selling chicks had not left yet, she hurried forward.

"Hey, little girl, you haven't left yet?"

"Grandma, I want to buy some chicks. Can you help me pick some out?"

Qu Jingyao asked with a smile, and the old lady started to choose with a smile on her face.
