Seeing so many people eyeing him with predatory intent, especially Wang Yuanshan, who was also a businessman, Tong naturally understood the emotions in his eyes. So, before Han Yiyi could speak, he spoke first.
"Boss Wang, what are you saying? The food at my Yunlai Restaurant is naturally made by my Yunlai Restaurant. This Madam Han is the chef I hired from my Yunlai Restaurant. As for the roast meat and sausages, they were just made today. We wanted to try them out. If they taste good, everyone can eat them often in the future..."
After saying that, he looked at Han Yiyi with hopeful eyes, and when no one could see him, he made a two-pointer gesture at Han Yiyi.
Han Yiyi understood that he wanted to offer two hundred taels for her recipe. Han Yiyi secretly curled the corners of her mouth and thought to herself, it seems that Manager Tong really went all out this time. This price is much higher than I expected.
Hearing Manager Tong's words, Wang Yuanshan narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew that Manager Tong was not telling the truth. Not to mention that Han Yiyi was with two children and did not look like a cook at all, it was as if she was trying out a new dish at a restaurant and had come to this private room instead of the kitchen.
So he completely ignored Manager Tong and instead focused his attention on Han Yiyi, asking her a question.
“Young lady, is what Manager Tong said really true…”
Seeing the pleading look in Manager Tong's eyes, Han Yiyi slowly spoke.
"Brother, what Manager Tong said is indeed true. This food is indeed from Yunlai Restaurant. Today is the first time it has been made. We wanted to try it out. If it tastes good, then everyone can eat it at Yunlai Restaurant every day from now on."
When Manager Tong heard Han Yiyi's words, he breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he thought that since Han Yiyi had agreed, he could naturally eat the remaining skewers, since Yunlai Restaurant had bought them.
Although I felt that the price of two hundred taels was indeed a bit high, considering the taste and the reactions of everyone in the restaurant, I was sure it wouldn't be a loss.
Just as he was thinking that he could calm Wang Yuanshan and the others down so he could come back and enjoy some barbecue, he heard Han Yiyi's voice slowly ring out again.
"I have some left here. Everyone is welcome to try them. This is Yunlai Restaurant's way of inviting you to sample the taste in advance..."
As he was speaking, he reached for the skewers on the barbecue grill to share with everyone, but before he could even raise his hand, he saw that all the skewers had already been taken by Manager Tong.
Seeing how attentively Manager Tong was distributing the skewers to everyone, Han Yiyi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly. Everyone eagerly put the skewers into their mouths, and the tempting taste made everyone's eyes light up, and they all praised it highly.
Seeing everyone's reactions, Han Yiyi thought to herself, "Sure enough, no one dislikes the taste of cumin."
Especially Wang Yuanshan, who had eaten countless barbecues, but he had never seen such an irresistible flavor before, and couldn't help but look in Han Yiyi's direction again.
When Manager Tong noticed his gaze, he quickly stepped aside to block his view. Upon seeing this, a hint of regret flashed in Wang Yuanshan's eyes.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on the skewers in his hand again, Manager Tong quickly gave Laifu, who had been pushed to the back, a wink, signaling him to ask everyone to leave.
Having already eaten the meat skewers, the people felt embarrassed to stay any longer. However, they were reluctant to leave because of the delicious taste of the skewers, so they asked if they could really eat them again tomorrow. After receiving an affirmative answer, they finally left.
After everyone left, Manager Tong sat down opposite Han Yiyi, looked at Han Yiyi, and then at the skewers in his hand.
Upon seeing this, Han Yiyi quickly and considerately spoke up.
"Please eat first, it won't taste good if it gets cold. We can talk after you finish eating..."
Hearing Han Yiyi's words, Manager Tong stopped being polite. He took a piece and put it to his lips, but before he could take a bite, Laifu knocked on the door and came in.
"Manager, the customers downstairs are making a fuss too, you'd better go down and take a look..."
Upon hearing this, Manager Tong's expression changed, and he quickly got up and left the private room, but he didn't forget to take the skewers with him.
Seeing that everyone had left, Han Yiyi began to eat leisurely. She had only eaten two meat skewers so far and hadn't eaten anything else yet, so she was indeed a little hungry.
Before long, Manager Tong came up again, but when he came in, the way he looked at Han Yiyi seemed rather mournful.
The customers in the lobby downstairs were also upset about the barbecue. Several customers who had left upstairs were still there when they came down, praising how delicious the barbecue they had eaten. This made the downstairs customers even more eager to hear this, and they felt that Yunlai Restaurant was treating its customers differently, so they started making a scene.
Unable to appease them, Manager Tong distributed all the roasted meat he had on one skewer per table, promising that everyone would have enough to eat the next day. This finally resolved the issue.
Looking at his empty hands, Manager Tong couldn't help but suspect that Han Yiyi had calculated the number of skewers.
If Han Yiyi knew what Manager Tong was thinking, she would definitely say, "Don't wrong an innocent person."
Shopkeeper Tong no longer called Han Yi-yi "Big Sister Han," but instead addressed her as "Madam Han."
"Madam Han, how about you give me the recipe for this food now, so I can give you these silver notes..." she said, taking out two one-hundred-tael silver notes from her sleeve.
Han Yiyi looked at the silver notes in front of her and couldn't help but swallow. This stuff was much more tempting than barbecue, but Han Yiyi still spoke up.
"Manager Tong, there's no rush. We can discuss this further. I don't want two hundred taels; one hundred taels will do. I have one condition."
When Manager Tong heard Han Yiyi say there was no rush, he felt a pang of anxiety, thinking that Han Yiyi was trying to take advantage of the situation to ask for an exorbitant price.
Hearing her say it would only cost one hundred taels, he breathed a sigh of relief. However, he immediately thought of Han Yiyi's personality—a fool who wouldn't take advantage of a bargain—and realized things couldn't be that simple.
In fact, Manager Tong knew that he had acted impulsively today, but given the situation just now, he had no choice but to do so. Thinking of this, Manager Tong couldn't help but start to carefully examine Han Yiyi.
To put it bluntly, Manager Tong knew that Jin Hanyi's whole scheme was designed to force her to buy her prescription. She was already in a difficult position and had no choice but to buy it. Such scheming and cunning were not qualities that an ordinary peasant woman should possess.
Seeing the scrutinizing gaze from Manager Tong, Han Yi didn't care. Could he possibly figure out that she was a time traveler?
In fact, Han Yiyi knew that her method today was not very gentlemanly, so she thought to herself that she would just think of more delicious food in the future and then sell the recipes to Yunlai Restaurant to make its business more prosperous.
If Manager Tong knew what Han Yiyi was thinking, he would probably say to her, "Listen to me, thank you."
