The chef nodded. "You guessed it." The prefect is a greedy man.
However, the chef only thought these words to himself.
"How can it be that Shuangxi Tower is now under the control of officials? How can it be difficult to sell it?" Qiu Yan felt that this did not make sense.
"Since the prefect took over Shuangxi Restaurant, business has been sluggish. The prefect originally wanted to change the signboard, but the signboard was integrated with the restaurant and could not be removed, so they became too lazy to change it."
"Even in a slump, it shouldn't be worth this little bit of silver." Qiu Yan thought to herself, "If it's Shuangxi Restaurant, then the storefront and the location must be top-notch."
"Alas, this is a long story. On the day the country fell, His Highness the Crown Prince of Western Qin was forced to commit suicide by the Northern Qi army at Shuangxi Tower."
Originally, the prefect hadn't taken this matter seriously. However, now that his son had inexplicably fallen seriously ill, this sudden turn of events led the prefect to believe that the Crown Prince of Western Qin had come to claim his life, causing his son to be afflicted by evil spirits. That's why he decided to sell him.
The chef suddenly realized that he might have said something wrong. "Miss, this is all the prefect's imagination; it should not be taken seriously."
"In that case, three hundred taels of silver is a bit expensive," Qiu Yan thought to herself.
Have I been inexplicably possessed by evil spirits?
The medical recruitment notice came to mind again.
"Do you know what illness the prefect's son has?"
"I'm not quite sure. But I've heard it's a deadly disease."
"A life-threatening disease?"
"Hey, how did we get so off-topic? Young lady, in my opinion, if you buy this restaurant, the business will be quite successful." In the chef's memory, Shuangxi Restaurant was worth several thousand taels of silver.
Qiu Yan chuckled: "Aren't you afraid that I'll also be tainted by evil spirits?"
She made up her mind that no matter what illness the prefect's son had, she wanted to go and see him, hoping to earn some travel expenses.
"No way, I've never believed in ghosts or gods. Young lady, since you're thinking of opening a restaurant, this restaurant is an excellent choice."
"We'll see." Qiu Yan couldn't guarantee that her medical skills could cure all diseases.
No matter what, she shouldn't be blindly confident.
She doesn't even know what exactly her illness is.
"Uncle, it's getting late, aren't you getting off work?"
"I'm off work this morning. Young lady, if you really open a restaurant, don't forget me. If you don't, you should keep this recipe for fresh ingredients for yourself."
The chef kindly reminded her that even if Qiu Yan asked, it would be in vain.
Although he longed for Qiu Yan's prescription, he still held onto his previous thoughts.
He didn't think that Qiu Yan's fresh ingredients were worth fifty taels of silver, since they weren't a rare or expensive dish.
In his opinion, ten taels of silver was acceptable.
Let's put aside the matter of fresh ingredients for now.
Qiu Yan said goodbye to the chef, turned around, and prepared to go to the inn to meet up with Qin Susu and the other two.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he saw Ling Qi and Ling Ba appearing not far away.
Qiu Yan was slightly taken aback. When did they arrive?
She knew without a doubt that the two men had overheard her entire conversation with the chef.
"Let's go eat first," she said to the two of them.
After saying this, she took the lead and entered the inn.
Distracted by the chef, the innkeeper was nowhere to be seen inside the inn.
Unfortunately, her prescription formula didn't sell.
Ling Qi stepped forward and followed behind Qiu Yan: "Xiao Yan, this Shuangxi Tower is Qin Feng's asset. You don't really want to buy it, do you? Right now, we can't even scrape together ten taels of silver."
