Chapter 92: Both sides gained a great advantage

After knowing that the taro paste cake was made by Xie Yingmian, Tu Bufan changed his lazy and indifferent look, and looked at Xie Yingmian with eyes like a pug seeing a meat bone.

Xie Yingmian finally understood why Tu Bufan was called Tu Xiaogou.

If he had a tail, it would definitely wag it fast.

This pug-like appearance is completely different from the lazy, unruly and arrogant young man before.

Fu Mo felt ashamed.

He said to Xie Yingmian embarrassedly: "Princess, please don't be offended. Tu Xiaogou loves sweets. He is like this when he sees delicious desserts. That's how he got the name Tu Xiaogou."

Xie Yingmian was not surprised.

"Let's get down to business," she said.

"Wait a moment." Tu Bufan picked up the taro paste cake solemnly.

He mumbled a lot as if he was eating some holy delicacy, then carefully picked up the spoon and ate it mouthful by mouthful.

After eating.

He closed his eyes and savored it carefully, with a peaceful glow on his face.

When the light fades, the sage time is up.

He slowly opened his eyes and returned to his usual lazy and uninhibited state: "We can talk now."

Xie Yingmian: ...

The boss is worthy of being the boss.

Every bite has a hint of weirdness.

"I want to pawn the second-hand clothes, second-hand jewelry, bedding, etc. in my dowry to a pawnshop. Fu Mo, the pawnshop still needs your more attention." Xie Yingmian said.

Fu Mo said: "This is easy. Baibao Pawnshop is under the Baibao Building."

Xie Yingmian: "That would be the best."

"Well, I'll go to the Xie family and make a scene first. If they give me the original amount of the dowry, then there's no need for us to proceed to the next step."

"But, based on my understanding of the Xie family, they won't do that."

"When I return from the Xie family with nothing, I will pretend to pawn those things at the Baibao Pawn Shop."

"After the items are pawned, it will be up to Young Master Tu."

"My request is that the Xie family take the initiative to buy those things at a high price. The higher the price, the better. The lowest price must be twice the original price."

"Once the transaction is completed, Baibaolou will take a 40% commission based on the total amount spent by the Xie family."

Tu Bufan crossed his arms, his eyebrows raised slightly: "Is it that simple?"

Xie Yingmian said: "It's not simple at all."

"The Xie family won't take the initiative to redeem it, let alone raise the price. They will most likely put pressure on me and use moral and family kidnapping against me."

"They even tried to discredit me, turn the tables, and use public opinion and filial piety to accuse me, trying to hold me to the moral high ground."

"I'm going to play the perfect victim in this matter."

"This image of the perfect victim needs you to create."

"How to shape it, how to shape it, how to make the Xie family turn public opinion around when they use filial piety to kidnap me, how to make the Xie family pay the price, how to make the Xie family take the initiative to redeem those second-hand items at a high price, etc., all require your planning."

“It looks simple, but it’s actually very complicated.”

Tu Bufan tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

It is indeed as Xie Yingmian said, it is not easy to achieve perfect results in this matter.

No wonder she wants to give a 40% commission.

A 40% commission is neither too little nor too much.

Tu Bufan said, "30% commission, plus that taro paste cake I just mentioned, you can supply me with it for a month, every five days, no, every three days, how about that?"

Xie Yingmian agreed without even thinking about it.

Anyone who disagrees is a fool.

The taro paste cake has little cost, and the ingredients are all from the palace.

A month's worth of taro paste cake only takes a little time.

There is no comparison between a 10% commission and a month's supply of taro paste cakes.

She got a great deal.

Xie Yingmian agreed so readily that Tu Bufan felt a little regretful.

If I had known earlier, I would have made taro paste cake for two or even three months.

Xie Yingmian saw what Tu Bufan was thinking.

She felt a little embarrassed for taking such a big advantage.

Although Tu Bufan's appearance made her feel uncomfortable.

However, her boss is most likely a bit weird, so it is normal for him to appear weird.

You won’t lose out by making friends with such people.

If you can bind it for a long time, you will not lose anything.

After thinking for a while, Xie Yingmian said:

"You'll get tired of eating taro paste cake after a month. So, when you're tired of it, tell Fu Mo and I'll have him save a portion for you of any dessert I make. There's no time limit. How do you do that?"

Tu Bufan agreed without thinking.

Anyone who can make desserts like this will surely make other things that are delicious too.

Anyone who doesn't agree is a fool.

Money is like dirt to him.

Novel and delicious desserts are worth far more than that dirt.

There is no time limit.

He got a great deal!

Both Xie Yingmian and Tu Bufan felt that they had taken advantage of the other.

The cooperation was happily finalized.

…

Ever since Tu Bufan came, Xie Yingmian always felt that Yu Lingye was a little strange.

Yu Lingye always stared at her in confusion, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Xie Yingmian was very suspicious.

Was it the smell of the stinky tree sap on Tu Bufan's body that made Yu Lingye mistakenly think that she was covered in shit?

But she had already showered and changed her clothes.

"Um, do I smell bad?" Xie Yingmian couldn't help but asked.

Yu Lingye shook his head: "It has a very elegant green pear scent."

“It smells good.”

"Then why are you always staring at me?" Xie Yingmian touched his face, "Is there something on my face?"

Yu Lingye hesitated to speak.

He really wanted to ask questions about cassava, especially about it.

Whether the cassava can be detoxified is related to the lives of 100,000 people in the fiefdom.

Detoxification of cassava is the key to whether the people in the fiefdom can have enough food and warm clothes in the future.

It was also a hope to save the fiefdom from the starving people everywhere and the people from whom they had to eat their own children.

The words came to his lips, but he didn't dare to ask.

He was afraid that Xie Yingmian would give an unsatisfactory answer, that his hopes would be dashed, and that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

He was even more afraid that this only glimmer of hope would be extinguished.

Yu Lingye sighed deeply: "Nothing."

"I'm tired, go to sleep."

Seeing Yu Lingye's anxious look, Xie Yingmian probably guessed that it might be related to the purple letter.

In ancient times, there was a bad custom that the harem could not interfere in government affairs.

She didn't want to embarrass herself.

Since Yu Lingye didn't say anything, she was too lazy to ask.

Three days later.

The toxicity of cassava has been completely dealt with.

She finally made delicious mochi bread.

When the mochi bread comes out of the pan, the sweet aroma lingers in the courtyard.

Fu Mo stood in the kitchen nervously, looking conflicted.

"I made five flavors of mochi bread. Would you like to try some?" Xie Yingmian asked Fu Mo when she saw that he didn't come over as usual.

Fu Mo bit his lip.

He took in the sweet and delicious smell and took a deep breath.

Then, he took a bite with a fearless attitude.

"Delicious! So delicious!" Fu Mo's eyes widened. "Is this really made of cassava?"

Xie Yingmian asked, "Didn't you witness the entire production process?"

Fu Mo chuckled: "I was surprised because I witnessed the whole process. It was really delicious."

"I never thought cassava could be cooked so deliciously."

Mochi bread comes in five flavors: taro paste, red bean paste, red dates, black sesame, and original.

Fu Mo ate one of each.

Only after I finished eating did I realize something was wrong.
