The more cowardly a person is, the more wild they are; I've driven the villainous minister craz

Upon seeing the plaque "Feibaolou", Yu Wan recalled the original text and its related events.

The term "Jade Pavilion" appears very frequently in the original text.

Fei Bao Lou is a chain restaurant with branches in various states of Da Zhao. The owner is the Cui family of Huayang, one of the six great families of Da Zhao.

However, Yu Wan had read the original novel and knew that the Cui family of Huayang were only the nominal owners of Feibaolou.

The true mastermind behind the Jade Treasure Pavilion is the male protagonist's greatest benefactor in his life, Prince Chen.

Later, Prince Chen handed over the management of the Jade Treasure Pavilion to the male protagonist, making it his property.

Prince Chen was one of the few sons of Emperor Wenjing who cared about the people. Without hesitation, Yu Wan stepped into the Jade Treasure Pavilion.

She plans to sell the recipe for Bo Bo Chicken. Surely the philanthropist Prince Chen's Fei Bao Lou wouldn't cheat her?

however--

"How much did you say?"

Yu Wan's forehead veins throbbed, and she wanted to kick the old man across the street who had been haggling so hard he'd broken his bones.

The manager of this Jade Treasure Pavilion was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. He was well-proportioned and looked very shrewd and capable; he was clearly not someone who could be easily fooled.

She mentioned the recipe for Bo Bo Chicken earlier, and the shopkeeper was clearly interested, yet he acted as if he had no interest at all.

They're deliberately trying to drive down the price.

But she wasn't lying to him, and he couldn't treat her like a fool!

They think they can buy out her prescription for ten taels of silver? They're treating me like a beggar!

Yu Wan smiled calmly and said politely, "Manager Yuan, you are well-informed and must know that the students near the West Market have been scrambling to buy Bo Bo Chicken these past two days."

"If this pot-boiled chicken business continues, it will definitely be successful."

Manager Yuan slowly picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said, "What the young lady said is incorrect."

"This kind of 'bobo chicken' is indeed a rare thing in Huicheng now. Everyone is envious. I imagine that many people are already making imitations. Once more people are selling it, it will naturally become less of a novelty."

Yu Wan smiled faintly, "So, Manager Yuan also had someone make a copy?"

Manager Yuan's eyelids twitched.

Yu Wan's smile deepened, but she stood up with a sigh and said regretfully, "It seems that Manager Yuan has capable people under him and doesn't really need my recipe. I'll go and see other restaurants."

"Please wait, young lady—" Manager Yuan said calmly, trying to persuade her to stay, but the fleeting anxiety on his face betrayed him.

Yu Wan didn't stop and walked straight to the door.

When it comes to haggling and raising prices, whoever calls a halt first loses!

She silently counted to three, but when she got to two, she heard hurried footsteps behind her.

Manager Yuan chased after her, chuckling awkwardly, "Miss, don't rush off. What's your estimated price? We can still discuss it."

Yu Wan looked at him with difficulty, "The price I want is far from the price that Manager Yuan offered."

Manager Yuan chuckled, "It's negotiable, it's negotiable."

The two returned to the private room and sat down. After a heated exchange, they finally agreed that Fei Bao Lou would buy out the recipe for Bo Bo Chicken for three hundred taels of silver.

After selling the recipe to Fei Bao Lou, Yu Wan could no longer sell it or disclose it to any third party.

Yu Wan was fairly satisfied with the price.

Manager Yuan looked pained.

A simple recipe for food cost three hundred taels of silver! This girl really knows how to negotiate prices!

Thinking back on the prescriptions he used to buy, none of them cost more than one hundred taels.

Although it hurts to buy it, the shopkeeper still had to buy the prescription. He stood up and said, "Please wait a moment, young lady, while I go to get the documents and money."

While Manager Yuan was getting his things, Yu Wan wrote down the recipe for Bo Bo Chicken.

Manager Yuan returned with the documents and money. Just as the two were about to sign and seal the document, a slightly disgruntled voice rang out from the doorway, "Yuan Fulu, what kind of prescription is worth three hundred taels? Do you think the silver at Feibaolou is made of stone and can be grabbed by the handful?"

Upon hearing the voice, Manager Yuan immediately stopped. Seeing the newcomer, his face quickly put on a fawning smile. "Young Master Cui, what brings you here?"

After he finished speaking, he turned to Yu Wanfei and whispered quickly, "This is Young Master Cui, from the Cui family of Huayang. You must not be disrespectful in front of him."

Yu Wan looked over.

Cui Qixian scoffed and looked at Yu Wan. "You dare to sell a recipe for such a low-class dish for three hundred taels of silver? You've got some nerve."

Second Young Master Cui?

Huicheng is remote, and the descendants of the Cui family from Huayang who remain there are either from distant collateral branches or have been expelled from the main family for committing crimes.

Yu Wan remained seated, looking back with a forced smile. "This price was agreed upon after discussions with Manager Yuan. Since Manager Yuan accepted this price, it proves that my recipe is worth it."

Cui Qixian narrowed his eyes and sneered, "I've seen plenty of people like you. A country bumpkin, thinking he can get rich overnight by buying a son-in-law?"

"Stop dreaming. You lowly people, even if you have money, you can't change the poor and stingy nature in your bones."

Cui Qixian instructed the servant behind him to take away the silver, leaving only ten taels. He said in a condescending tone, "Your prescription is only worth ten taels. Take the silver and leave quickly, don't dirty my Feibaolou place."

Jade Pavilion, first floor.

A figure suddenly paused.

Upstairs in a private room, Yu Wan looked up with a smile.

She looked at Choi Ji-hyun, her clear, obsidian-like eyes filled with just the right amount of bewilderment.

He slowly said, "I remember that the Cui family of Huayang revered the sage Master Xun and took Master Xun's principle of 'all people under heaven are people, and there is no need to distinguish between noble and lowly based on birth' as ​​their ancestral precept."

"This young master Cui, could he be so old that he hasn't even learned the ancestral precepts?"

"Oh dear, I misspoke." Yu Wan clapped her hands, suddenly realizing, "The Cui family of Huayang is a prominent family in the current dynasty. The disciples of the family are all gentle, refined, self-disciplined and respectful gentlemen. How could a scoundrel like Young Master Cui, who spews filth, possibly come from the Cui family of Huayang?"

Yu Wan turned to Manager Yuan and said in a serious tone, "Manager, you've been fooled. This person couldn't possibly be from the Cui family of Huayang. Quickly write a letter to the Cui family of Huayang and tell them that someone is trying to scam you."

Manager Yuan: "..."

That woman's language is so foul!

Those around who were curious overheard this were struggling to suppress their laughter.

It is now widely known that the Cui family of Huayang adheres to the principle of "respecting all people," and the descendants of the Cui family abide by their own rules when traveling among the people, earning them an excellent reputation.

However, the Cui family of Huicheng relied on the reputation of the Cui family of Huayang to act domineeringly.

Everyone was reluctant to offend the Cui family of Huayang, so they all endured it.

Cui Qixian never expected that Yu Wan, a woman dressed in such poor and shabby clothes, would utter the ancestral precepts of the Cui family of Huayang.

Even he doesn't remember!

His face turned pale with anger. "What do you, a woman, know?!"

Yu Wan glanced at him, her clear eyes instantly turning cold as a knife, her voice resounding, "So what if she's a woman? Women are also born of parents, they also read the classics, they also know propriety and reason."

“My prescriptions are the result of my meticulous research, and the money is earned through my own abilities. How can they be considered inferior or low-class?”

"Young Master Cui keeps using the term 'lowly,' so where does your nobility lie?"

"Is your superiority based on looking down on others? Is your vulgar and hypocritical nature admirable?"

Upon hearing this, Cui Qixian rolled his eyes in anger.

"Hahaha! Good! Well said, young lady!"

"I've disliked this Second Young Master Cui for a long time. His Cui family is only related to the Cui clan of Huayang, yet they're so arrogant and shameless, claiming to be a direct descendant of the Cui clan of Huayang. Bah! They're shameless!"
