Han Sifang really wanted to say no, but he didn't dare. He was afraid that if he did, the old lady would put him on her blacklist, which would be troublesome.

That would be a huge loss for Wangyuelou.

Normally, such an agreement to set up a factory should be reported to the owner first, and then the owner would make the decision. However, Huang's words dispelled Han Sifang's concerns.

"If it's inconvenient for Manager Han to make the decision, then this old woman will go to the county government and ask Lord Qiu to partner with me. After all, he's the local official."

With the protection of local officials, not to mention before, at least in Qingyang County, this old woman can walk sideways.

Just imagine how amazing that would feel!

Huang seemed to be muttering to herself, or perhaps seeking Han Sifang's opinion.

"Grandma, please don't overthink it. Logically speaking, I'm just a manager. Many times, many things require prior notification and application."

Otherwise, if you offend the employer's bottom line, it will be very difficult to do things.

However, there's no need for such trouble to cooperate with you, Madam. I'm sure things will go well with you.

"Then let's cooperate on a 50/50 profit split. Please allow me to go in and write the contract."

The two sides quickly reached an agreement.

Huang was about to leave, but Han Sifang decided to invite her to stay for a meal before she left.

"No, old woman, I still need to go to the government office. I need to buy the land for building the factory first."

With that, Mrs. Huang left gracefully, without waving goodbye or even offering a handkerchief.

Han Sifang's eyes widened. "So they were sure I would sign the contract."

Hurry back and write to your employer to report this good news.

A few days later, Han Xuri received a message from Han Sifang via carrier pigeon and was very excited.

"This Zhao family is truly a treasure. If we take good care of them, who knows when they might surprise us."

On that day, in the palace,

"Uncle, my men brought back news today that the old lady of the Zhao family has brought out the seasoning recipe again and is preparing to build a factory."

They're still working with me, but the contract stipulates that we split the net profits 50/50.

"Of my portion, I only need to keep one-tenth of the medicine; the remaining forty percent should go to my uncle."

Han Xuri came here specifically to deliver money to the Emperor.

Huang was also puzzled as to what Han Xuri was up to.

"Everyone else is worried about not having enough money to spend, but you always come to give me money."

"Are you not going to save up for your wife?"

Han Xuri ignored the emperor's teasing.

“If Uncle doesn’t care about money, then I should keep the money I’ve earned for myself.”

The emperor laughed heartily.

He's the emperor, not a fool. Why would he turn down money that's practically handed to him?

Although it's a condiment factory, those things are related to people's livelihoods.

Once these seasonings become widespread, as many people as there are in the Divine Dragon Kingdom, they will all be using them. That would be a huge fortune.

As for the Zhao family, let's just divide it in half.

After all, they don't share the profits, so how could you, as the emperor, have the nerve to attack a rural family?

It is really not easy to be a wise ruler.

"Xu'er, you're not getting any younger. When are you going to marry a princess and bring her home for your uncle to see?"

As soon as the Emperor finished speaking, Han Xuri stood up.

"Uncle, I still have some things to take care of. I just remembered that it's getting late, so I'll take my leave."

Without waiting for the emperor's permission, he ran off as if his pants were on fire.

"Hahaha..." The emperor was left alone in the palace laughing.

Han Xuri rushed out of the palace as if his pants were on fire, got into the carriage, and the driver asked, "Master, where to?"

Han Xuri tapped his thigh.

"I heard that a new restaurant called Huicui Pavilion recently opened in our capital city."

I've heard the food there is delicious, and the wine is quite good too. Let's go there.

The driver replied, "Then please finish up, sir."

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of the Huicui Pavilion. After Han Xuri got out of the carriage, a handsome servant led him into the main hall.

After inquiring about the purpose of their visit to the club, they led Han Xuri to a private room on the second floor.

Although the furniture was all made of mahogany, each chair had thick cotton cushions on the backrest and seat.

It's comfortable to sit on without feeling uncomfortable, and it also comes with a backrest.

You can adjust the position of the cushion according to your own preferences.

If Zhao Qingyan were here, she would definitely shout, "Sofa!"

After Han Xuri sat down, a girl dressed in mint green entered from outside, with all her hair wrapped in a square cloth.

A cotton cloth cover was also placed over its mouth and nose.

"Esteemed guest, my name is Taohua. May I ask what kind of tea you would like? We have Pu'er, Longjing, and Jasmine tea..."

After deciding on the tea, Peach Blossom handed Han Xuri a large notebook.

"Sir, this is our menu. What would you like to eat? Our sweet and sour pork ribs are absolutely amazing..."

After a long introduction, Han Xuri, whose family owns a restaurant, naturally paid more attention to the menu. After dismissing Tao Hua, he enjoyed the food by himself.

Yes, it's genuine appreciation.

In addition to textual annotations, the menus at Huicui Pavilion also feature illustrations by talented artists who faithfully reproduce the dishes on the menus.

Therefore, the recipe book is quite thick.

However, this kind of clear and easy-to-understand recipe is truly refreshing.

Looking at the pictures, you can see what the dish looks like and what side dishes it contains.

"How could I not have thought of that? Just looking at it makes my mouth water."

The tea was served quickly, but it wasn't a pre-brewed cup. Instead, it was brewed and heated on a small red clay stove in the room.

The girl who was in charge of brewing tea, not to mention anything else, her delicate hands alone were a delight to behold.

And look at the teapot and teaware used to serve the tea; they are truly exquisite.

From warming the teapot, placing the tea leaves, pouring from a high position, steeping from a low position, dividing the tea, to serving the tea, Han Xuri felt that this cup of tea had become extraordinary as he held the small cup in his hand.

He thought to himself, "The owner behind this is quite mysterious, and they really know how to play the game. They've made such a big deal out of such a small cup of tea."

As he pondered, he lowered his head and sniffed the tea; it truly had a delicate fragrance. "Good tea."

After enjoying the tea and ordering a few signature dishes, we asked the servants to leave.

As for brewing tea, he watched once and felt he already knew how. He figured it was better to do it himself; otherwise, he'd lose the fun.

Examining the teacup in his hand,

"If I'm not mistaken, this tea set should be the legendary bone china."

That's not a cheap price.

After drinking the tea in his cup, Han Xuri stood up and began to wander around the room.

Although the private room wasn't very big, it contained quite a few paintings, calligraphy, and decorative items.

Han Xuri considers himself a Confucian businessman. Although he is a businessman, he is also well-educated.
