Chapter 315 I agree to split this book 50-50
"The second dish is French fries." Du Wanwan said while Guixiang took notes. "Peel and wash the sweet potatoes, cut them into finger-thick strips, coat them with flour paste, and fry them until golden and crispy. You can make them salty or sweet, depending on the customer's preference."
Liang listened at the side and her saliva began to water unconsciously. She liked fried food the most; the crispy and juicy texture was really tempting.
Yetingyu is okay. She doesn’t like fried food very much. She gets a sore throat and nosebleeds after eating it, so she seldom touches it.
"The third dessert is called Golden Balls. The process is more complicated. Choose small sweet potatoes, peel them, cook them, and mash them. Add glutinous rice flour and knead them repeatedly until they become a ball. Then roll them into balls the size of glutinous rice balls, fry them, and sprinkle them with sesame and sugar.
You can also press it into thin slices, fry it in a pan, and sprinkle it with sesame and sugar when it comes out of the pan. This is called sesame crisps. These snacks are relatively simple and not difficult to make. "
Guixiang remembered it and was overjoyed: "Thank you, Doctor Du! When I make it, I will definitely give it to you to try."
"That's not necessary. Our family is full of elderly people and children, and they are not suitable for eating this kind of fried food." Du Wanwan shook her head and refused. "If you want to eat it, you can make it yourself. It's troublesome to send it back and forth."
Cao Qiwen said, "No problem! We still have to go find Doctor Du anyway. I agree to split the book 50-50. Do you want to sign the contract now or talk about it later?"
Du Wanwan looked at Liang: "What do you think, Auntie?"
"Let's talk about it later!" Liang smiled, "Wait until the first episode comes out and sells well, then we can sign it later."
Guixiang hesitated: "Then we have to make a deal. Madam can't give the next volume to others after it's written."
Liang agreed: "Of course, Doctor Du spent so much effort to fight for my rights, how can I just give them up."
Cao Qiwen felt that what she said was right and nodded: "Then it's settled, Doctor Du! I will arrange everything right away. When the first episode comes out and there is some progress, I will go to you for treatment with peace of mind."
He hoped more that he could leave a way to make money for his wife and children. Even if they died after their stomachs were cut open, they would not have a hard life with the stall he had set up before.
"Okay!" Du Wanwan stood up, "Then you are busy, we will go back first."
Although the clinic had not been renovated yet, it would be soon, so she had to hurry back to clean it up. Someone might need to see her tomorrow morning, so it couldn't be too messy, and the pills in the space had to be taken out.
Cao Qiwen was not feeling well and did not come out to see Du Wanwan off. Guixiang saw them out of the bookstore and watched them walk away before going back.
The three of them chatted and laughed as they came to the carriage. Du Wanwan drove Liang back to the Ye family's old house. She didn't dare to send her to the door of the old house, so she stopped outside.
Liang said goodbye to Du Wanwan and returned home happily. The old lady was taking a nap and had no idea that she had gone out for a walk.
No one knew where Fang was going, and Liang didn't meet her on her way back.
When Ye Zhengqiu saw her after entering the room, he asked, "How is it going? Did the owner of Changyuan Bookstore collect it?"
Shaking her head, Liang sat down and said, "He didn't dare to accept it, saying he had to discuss it with the boss. Later we went to Fenglin Bookstore, and the shopkeeper accepted it."
"Oh?" Ye Zhengqiu frowned. "Changyuan Bookstore has no owner. The shopkeeper is the owner. He is trying to shirk responsibility. What did he say? Why doesn't he accept it? Is the book written by the madam not good enough?"
"No, the notebook I wrote is very good, the shopkeeper himself admitted it." Liang answered confidently, "It was the shopkeeper who was too mean, he was only willing to pay one or two taels of silver to buy the notebook. Wanwan said that was too much of a loss, it was like selling the knowledge I learned at a low price, so she took me away.
Later we went to Fenglin Bookstore. The owner had a strange disease and wanted to see Wanwan. After reading the storybook, he also said it was very good. Wanwan proposed a 50-50 split of the net profit.
"Hiss!" Ye Zhengqiu gasped, a little uneasy, and stood up suddenly, extremely excited, "Fifty-fifty split of the net profit? How much does that episode sell for?"
"have no idea."
Liang told the truth. She had never done business before, so how could she know how much a volume of the book would sell for, but it would definitely not be less than one or two taels of silver.
"Wanwan is a very sincere and kind person. In order to reach an agreement with Fenglin Bookstore, she has given them many surprising ideas." Liang sighed and was moved. "She even told the female shopkeeper of Fenglin Bookstore how to make her specialty snacks. Master! Our one hundred and fifty taels of silver were not given away in vain.
"Let's not talk about anything else in the future. With this book alone, I can earn back as many as 150 taels. I'm just worried that if the old lady finds out, will she scold me for not being a good wife? Will she ask the master to divorce me?"
Ye Zhengqiu was stunned and fell into his chair.
Not to mention, what Liang was worried about was likely to happen. Unless all the money she earned was handed over to the old lady, it would be difficult to calm her anger.
"It's impossible to divorce you. The master doesn't agree, and the old lady can't do anything about it. Knowing that we have earned money, it is necessary to quarrel. Now that the old lady has no money in her hands, she may hold on to the money earned by the lady."
Ye Zhengqiu knew my mother's personality very well. She always liked to control the overall situation. If I didn't follow her will, I'm afraid it would cause a big fight and everyone would know about it.
With a long sigh, Ye Zhengqiu closed his eyes helplessly, feeling very apologetic: "It is your husband who has dragged you down. Once things really get out of hand, your wife will put all the blame on your husband.
After all, I am her biological son. No matter what, we cannot be forced into a dead end. Take back the divided silver. Madam, keep half for yourself, and split the other half with the old lady. If you don't give some away, it will be hard to live in peace."
Liang felt very upset after hearing this. She didn't know if she could make money yet, so she had to consider the old lady first. Otherwise, the family would be in chaos, and life would be difficult, and she would also be laughed at.
She still has children to support, and it is already very good that the master can leave her half. The problem is whether she can keep it is not sure, the old lady is not someone who can be fooled so easily.
"Master! Let's make this plan for now! We'll talk about the rest later." Liang stood up and changed out of the only piece of clothing she wore to meet guests. "I'll go to the kitchen to help with cooking."
Ye Zhengqiu said nothing, watching Liang go away. He was wondering if he should go meet Zhongyuan's wife and ask her to help him find something to do.
With his second brother away, the responsibility of supporting the family fell on him. His wife could earn money by writing storybooks, so shouldn't he do something too?
Otherwise, isn't it reasonable for the entire family's food and drink to be supported by one woman?
But he didn't know what excuse to make, and he didn't know how to start the conversation when he met his sister-in-law. When they came back that day, he didn't even go out to greet them.
The old lady was making a fuss and he was too embarrassed to see anyone.
Isn't it too late to ask Zhong Yuan's wife for help now?
