The Rebirth of a Farm Girl from a Military Family and a Cannon Fodder Princess

Zisu stood up and curtsied: "Shangguan Zisu greets Manager Jiang. Zisu has some secret recipes that I would like to sell to Good Days Restaurant. I wonder if Manager Jiang would be interested?"

"Wow, a secret recipe? Interested? Of course I'm interested!" Jiang Shichang was overjoyed and said with a smile, looking at her expectantly, "Miss Shangguan, please tell me, no matter how many secret recipes there are, I will buy them at a fair price!"

I've been waiting for you to say this!

Zisu beamed, but then said seriously, "The price must be fair, otherwise I'll go check out Shili Xiang!"

Jiang Shichang couldn't help but chuckle at her words: "Fair, absolutely fair! Besides, Miss Shangguan can name her own price. As long as it's not exorbitant, I'm open to considering it!"

Zisu said modestly, "No, please let Manager Jiang name the price. Let me first tell you about my secret recipe. The most valuable part is something novel, and that is tofu." As she spoke, she picked up a basket covered with lotus leaves from the ground and placed it on the table. Lifting the lotus leaves, the white and tender tofu came into Manager Jiang's view.

"This is tofu. It can be used to make many kinds of dishes. It has a unique flavor and a great texture! I can guarantee that as long as Good Days Restaurant introduces tofu dishes, it will definitely be able to completely suppress Shili Xiang within a month!"

Zisu spoke confidently, then changed the subject: "Moreover, I have more than a dozen recipes for tofu, dozens of other recipes, and more than a dozen pastry recipes. These recipes are all excellent and will definitely help Good Days Restaurant reach new heights! Moreover, with so many recipes, Good Days Restaurant can easily introduce two or three new dishes every month, and won't have to worry about running out of new recipes and desserts for the next few years!"

Jiang Shichang was overjoyed and excitedly said, "Miss Shangguan, could you cook a dish with this tofu for me to try? It's not that I don't trust you, but I need to taste it before I can set a price!"

Zisu nodded and said to Aunt Li, "Aunt Li, could you please go to the kitchen and make a Mapo Tofu, a stir-fried tofu dish, and a braised tofu dish?"

Aunt Li respectfully replied "Yes," and, carrying the chili peppers she had prepared beforehand, followed the waiter from the Good Days Restaurant to the kitchen to get busy. Zisu continued to introduce other recipes and pastry recipes to Jiang Shichang.

Fifteen minutes later, all three dishes were served.

After tasting it, Jiang Shichang praised it highly: "It's really delicious. I've never seen this kind of ingredient before. It's both delicious and novel. You're right. With ingredients like tofu alone, Good Days Restaurant can surpass Ten Mile Fragrance Restaurant!"

He pondered for a moment, then finally made up his mind: "How about this, I'll give you five thousand taels of silver for the secret recipe for making tofu. For a single recipe or a dessert recipe, I'll offer one thousand taels of silver. What do you think?"

"No, that's too low!" Zisu shook her head: "I want ten thousand taels of silver for the tofu recipe!"

Jiang Shichang looked at her in surprise. This girl was only ten years old, yet she was quite bold! It was common knowledge that the Good Days Restaurant belonged to the Princess, and she dared to haggle over the price. Hmm, she was a girl with guts! Actually, he could definitely have the tofu recipe worth ten thousand taels of silver. He only said five thousand as a test.

He had a guess about Shangguan Zisu's identity; his intuition told him that this girl might be the daughter of the Protector General.

"Ten thousand taels? Isn't that too expensive?" Jiang Shichang asked deliberately.

Zisu shook her head: "It's not expensive, not expensive at all! In addition, I can give you an idea that I guarantee you'll feel it's great value for money!"
