"Can you eat it now?"
"Okay, but you two have to wait a while."
Su Yu took a knife and cut pieces of duck meat on the duck body. The slices of duck meat were neatly placed on the plate beside him. His movements were very standard.
“It’s best to slice duck meat in front of the guests.”
Su Yu didn't say much. As the shopkeeper of Taihe Building, Shopkeeper Niu naturally knew the inside story.
Pushing a plate of duck meat and sweet noodle sauce in front of the two of them.
"Try it, you two, and see how it tastes?"
The two of them each picked up a piece of duck meat, dipped it in some sweet noodle sauce and put it in their mouths. The rich aroma immediately melted in their mouths. The skin of the duck is crispy on the outside and the meat is tender on the inside. Coupled with the sweetness of the sweet noodle sauce, it is a taste that the two of them have never tasted before. Shopkeeper Niu was still tasting it, but Xu Yuanwai had already picked up another piece of duck meat.
At this time, Mrs. Li came in with a tray, and there were some small noodles on the plate on the tray. This was what Su Yu had asked the restaurant's back cook to make when he was waiting for Boss Niu. Unexpectedly, it was done very quickly there. She considered herself a novice at making cakes, so she didn't get a job for herself.
Push the dough in front of the two of them.
"There is another way to eat roast duck."
Su Yu took a small noodle pancake, dipped cucumbers and scallions in some flour sauce and put it on the pancake. Then he put a piece of duck meat on it, wrapped it up into a bite-sized piece, put it into his mouth and ate it in one bite.
The two of them also imitated Su Yu. Seeing that the duck meat on the plate was almost gone, Su Yu took a knife and sliced another plate. The duck was quite big and had a lot of duck meat.
Shopkeeper Niu took a few bites and didn't move his chopsticks again, while Member Xu just ignored it and ate the duck meat on his own. No matter what kind of business the two of them were discussing, his focus was now entirely on the roast duck in front of him.
"It's best to use ducks that are four to five months old. Marinate them the night before and roast them the next morning. They will taste even better than now."
"You three, let's go to the private room on the second floor to talk."
Several people returned to the box where they had arrived in the morning.
"Miss Su, can you sell Fang Zi to us at Taihe House? The price is easy to negotiate, and we at Taihe House have bought all the ducks raised by the Su family. The price is set at ten cents per catty. What do you think?"
A pound of duck meat costs ten cents, which is the same price as chicken. From this point of view, Shopkeeper Niu is quite sincere.
"As for the prescription, Miss Su might as well make a price."
Seeing that it was getting late, Su Yu didn't hesitate to worry about Mrs. Lian at home.
"Since Shopkeeper Niu is so sincere, I will sell this recipe to Taihelou. Is it just for this price? Two hundred taels of silver, not a penny less."
When Su Laoer and Su Sheng heard that Su Yu actually wanted two hundred taels of silver, they pinched their thighs and thought they were dreaming! At the same time, looking at the reaction of the shopkeeper Niu on the other side, he was afraid that he would kick the three of them out in anger. In the eyes of the two of them, it was just a recipe for roast duck, worth only two hundred taels of silver.
Shopkeeper Niu was a little hesitant. He didn't expect Su Yu to ask for two hundred taels of silver. The highest budget he had in mind was one hundred taels. Two hundred taels of silver is just a small amount of money for the owner, but for Xinglin Town Taihe Building, two hundred taels of silver is really not a small amount of money. He is a bit unable to do this.
"Actually, you won't lose anything if you buy the roast duck recipe for two hundred taels. As far as I know, the owner of Taihe Building has opened branches in more than half of the towns in Zhou Dynasty, not only in Xinglin Town, but also around Xingyang Mansion. There are several prefectures and even Kyoto, and the roast duck can be sold in other places, and you can make a profit in just a few days, which is really not a loss."
Shopkeeper Niu gritted his teeth, "Okay! Just two hundred taels of silver, but Miss Su has to sign a deed with me and sell the recipe to our Taihe Building, so she can't sell it to others, even if she makes it herself and sells it at the market. , it doesn’t matter if you make it at home and eat it.”
"This is natural. I still understand this."
Soon, shopkeeper Niu asked the clerk to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and the deed was quickly written in duplicate.
"Miss Su, let me read the above to you."
"I can just look at it myself."
Su Yu picked up one and read it over. Some of the characters on it were words he recognized and some he didn't. Even Meng Daicai could tell what it meant. It was similar to what Shopkeeper Niu said before, but with the addition of one sentence. If they breach the contract, they will have to pay five times the penalty. That was one thousand taels, but Su Yu didn't care. She had no intention of selling the prescription to anyone else.
Shopkeeper Niu didn't expect that Su Yu in front of him could read. Su Laoer and Su Sheng were also surprised. When did their daughter (sister) learn to read? How come they didn't know?
After confirming that it was correct, Su Yu scrawled Su Laoer's name on it.
Shopkeeper Su Yu Literate Niu was already surprised when he saw the three characters Su Laoer written on it. It was a bit ugly, but he didn't dislike it at all. Shopkeeper Niu handed Su Yu a deed, folded his own and put it in his arms. After asking the clerk to go to the accounting room to get two hundred taels of silver, he also brought money for the morning meal for a family of three, plus two bags of tea.
"This is two hundred taels of silver. The other string is for your morning meal. There is no need to give it to you. The tea is for brother Su."
"Then thank you, shopkeeper."
Su Yu put all her things away and put them in the small crossbody bag she was carrying.
"It's getting late now, so let's go back first. I will take care of the ten ducks at home tonight. I have to ask the shopkeeper tomorrow morning to ask the carriage to go to Yujia Village to pick them up. Then I will teach the cook how to make roast duck."
"Miss Su is very thoughtful. It's already getting late, so I'll ask the guy to take you back."
"Thank you very much, shopkeeper."
Seeing the three people leaving, Shopkeeper Niu felt a little emotional. After a long time of contact, he felt that he was not facing a teenage country girl, but an experienced businessman.
The three of them went to the backyard, where a carriage was already waiting. The father and son got on the carriage. The driver whipped the horse on the buttocks. The carriage turned and drove out of the alley. In less than half an hour, they arrived at Yujia Village. , it was still some distance from the entrance of the village, so Su Yu asked the waiter to stop the car, and the three of them got off the carriage and walked back. The carriage was too conspicuous, and her house was not the right time to attract jealousy.
After the carriage left, the three of them walked towards the village. Su Laoer walked with the same hands and feet. He didn't know where to put his hands and feet. Today, the daughter made two hundred taels of silver from her first move. The ducks at home have already It was booked to a restaurant, and the Su family is about to distribute it!
Although Su Sheng was surprised, he was much better than his father. At least he didn't have the same hands and feet when walking. The girl is so powerful, does she still have a place in this family?
It's really speechless when a rebellious young man becomes serious. Shouldn't he be happy that his family has earned two hundred taels of silver now, and worry about having no status in this family in the future?
