"Madam Li, I'm sorry. There was just a little incident on the street downstairs. I didn't mean to neglect you." Ouyang Mingxuan saw that Li Yun had shown a little impatience. It must be his behavior that angered her, so he quickly found an excuse to explain.

He knew how precious her seasonings were. What if he angered her and she broke her promise and refused to sell them to him?

He felt a little regretful that he had upset her just now in order to test her.

Without waiting for Li Yun to answer, Ouyang Mingxuan began to speak again: "Madam Li, my name is Ouyang Mingxuan, and I am the owner of Huimin Restaurant."

"Hello, Mr. Ouyang, are you here to discuss cooperation?" Li Yun saw that the other party had explained everything, and she couldn't say anything else.

She could only describe his explanation in four words: "Believe he has a ghost."

“Yes, this time I am discussing cooperation with Madam Li.

The three recipes above brought our restaurant back to life.

Business is much better than before. Many customers say the food is delicious. Many wealthy families also invite our chefs to cook when they entertain guests.

In short, I really want to thank Ms. Li this time. She helped us make a lot of money.

This time I want to cooperate with Madam Li, which is what you said, to invest in the company with the recipe, and I will give you 30% of the profits.

But Madam Li must guarantee to provide our restaurant with two recipes every month." Ouyang Mingxuan agreed to invest in the restaurant with the recipes and give her 30% of the profits.

Thirty percent profit is really a lot, and there is a Huimin restaurant in almost every county in the Jin Dynasty.

There are thirty-eight Huimin restaurants. If each restaurant has one hundred taels per month, that would be three thousand taels per month.

For a village woman, three thousand taels a month would make thirty-six thousand taels a year, which would make him a wealthy businessman in Qingshan County.

"Just do as Master Ouyang said and give me two new recipes every month for five years." Li Yun just happened to come up with two recipes, although there are many recipes on the Internet.

Small numbers are afraid of long plans, and I need twenty-four recipes in a year.

The reason she said five years was because she would have to use 120 recipes in five years, and they were almost all used up.

Besides, in five years, she believed she would be able to open her own restaurant.

“Five years?

Madam Li, do you mean to cooperate with us for only five years? " Ouyang Mingxuan hadn't thought about how long the cooperation would last. He thought that even if Madam Li didn't have the recipe, their previous cooperation would still be valid, and he would give her 30% of the profit from the dishes.

Now she actually proposed five years, does it mean that she will open a restaurant in five years.

"Yes, it's only for five years. After five years, I want to open my own restaurant.

If I didn’t have any connections, I wouldn’t have sold these vegetables to Master Ouyang.

Young Master Ouyang has already witnessed how popular these dishes are.

Young Master Ouyang also saw how high the profits were.

So I have to build enough connections within five years, and I believe that Mr. Ouyang will make enough money within five years." Li Yun didn't fulfill her ambitions. After all, they didn't have much in common. If he didn't agree, the worst that could happen was to find another restaurant to cooperate with.

“Okay, let’s do as Madam Li said and sign a five-year contract.

During the five-year period, Madam Li had to provide Huimin Restaurant with two new recipes at the beginning of every month on time. If she failed to do so, she had to compensate Huimin Restaurant with one month's profit.

Can Madam Li fulfill this request? "Ouyang Mingxuan told Li Yun the contract requirements in advance. If she agreed, they could sign the contract.

"Okay, I can guarantee to provide your restaurant with two new recipes on time every month." For two recipes every month, this is child's play.

"In that case, let's sign the contract." Ouyang Mingxuan took out the prepared contract, in triplicate, one for him and one for Madam Li, and took one copy to the county government office for filing.

Li Yun picked up the contract and read it carefully. After finding no problems, he signed his name and handed it to Ouyang Mingxuan.

"Madam Li, are you good at reading?

Do you want me to read it to you?" Ouyang Mingxuan looked at Li Yun reading the contract and doubted whether she could read.

“I know a little bit. My family hired a female teacher to teach me before.

The characters on this contract happened to be taught by the Master, so Master Ouyang doesn't need to read them." Although traditional Chinese characters were used in ancient times, she had learned these characters in her previous life.

For example, most of the four great classics use traditional Chinese characters, but she can understand them, let alone a contract.

"It turns out that Madam Li has received education. I wonder where her family is." Ouyang Mingxuan heard that Li Yun had received education when she was a child, so he guessed that her family must be from a wealthy family. In ordinary families, girls are not qualified to go to school.

"My home is quite far away, Mr. Ouyang may not have been there." Are you kidding? If it was her parents' home, would he have been there a thousand years in the future?

If it was the original owner's family, she wouldn't know.

Because the original owner didn't know, her memory bank was blank regarding her mother's family.

"So that's how it is. Maybe it's true that I haven't been there as Madam Li said." If Ouyang Mingxuan still didn't understand what Madam Li meant, he would be a real idiot.

No one wanted to tell him at all, they were just trying to fool him.

"By the way, Master Ouyang, isn't the Huimin Restaurant in Dongnan Town Master Ouyang's?" Li Yun remembered that he had to give two recipes every month and also teach the chef. It would be too troublesome to come to Qingshan County every month. The Huimin Restaurant in Dongnan Town was his, so he only needed to go to Dongnan Town every month.

She also changed the subject as she was afraid that if Mr. Ouyang asked her more questions, she really didn't know how to answer.

"Yes, I'm from the Huimin Restaurant in Dongnan Town. Madam Li seems to be from Dongnan Town, right?" Ouyang Mingxuan knew that Madam Li was changing the subject. Maybe she didn't want to talk about her family?
