"Uh, I want to buy your recipe."

"Puff!" Xiao Guo spurted out. What's wrong with this guy? Is he so straightforward?

"Well, well, it's like this. Don't get excited. Just listen to me..." Xu Ruyi slowly recounted her experience.

Although Xiaoguo thought it was ridiculous, she still listened to what the other party said. After the woman finished speaking, Xiaoguo nodded, she understood.

The thing is, Ruyi Noodle House was named by Xu Ruyi's father after his daughter. Her mother died when Xu Ruyi was born, and the father and daughter opened a noodle house, which had been dependent on each other. When Xu's father was alive, the noodle house business was good, but after Xu's father passed away half a year ago, the family business gradually declined.

Even now, people passing by here would not stop to take a look. Xu Ruyi tried her best to make noodles according to Xu's father's method, but the noodles just didn't taste good. If she continued to hold on for a while longer, she would probably go bankrupt.

However, Xu Ruyi did not want to close the store that her father had worked so hard to open. Without any income, she could not pay salaries. All the shop assistants had left, and only the old assistant who had been there since the opening was left. But now it was even a problem for both of them to eat.

On the day when Xu Ruyi was feeling discouraged, she saw Xiaoguo selling potato noodles. She smelled the noodles and spent the only ten cents she had left to buy a bowl. She couldn't stop eating it, so she wanted to buy Xiaoguo's recipe to revive Ruyi Noodle House.

Xu Ruyi secretly observed from the side that Xiaoguo sold a bowl of noodles for ten cents, and each person ordered at least two bowls. She could earn at least a few taels of silver in each trip.

After listening to her story, Xiaoguo looked unmoved and secretly measured, then asked a question slowly, "You have no money, what can you use to buy my prescription?" Xiaoguo looked directly into Xu Ruyi's eyes as he spoke.

After hearing this, Xu Ruyi's eyes flickered, and then she seemed to have made up her mind, "I'll give you the deed!"

He took out the deed from his pocket and handed it to Xiaoguo. Xiaoguo took it, looked at it, and put it on the table. "I don't need your deed."

Xu Ruyi's heart skipped a beat, and disappointment filled her face. This was the most valuable thing she could give out, but...it still didn't work...

Xiaoguo spoke again, "I can give you the recipe." Xu Ruyi came back to life upon hearing this and looked at Xiaoguo with hope. After a while, she spoke again, "But I want to invest."

"Invest?" Xu Ruyi didn't understand and looked at Xiaoguo in confusion.

Xiao Guo put down the cup and said to her, "To put it simply, I will give you the recipe, and you will give me a share of the money you receive from the potato flour sold that month."

Xu Ruyi understood what she said, swallowed her saliva and spoke carefully, "Then how much share do you want?"

Xiaoguo was silent for a while, then said, "Forty percent." After all, he didn't have to contribute anything, the other party was the one who paid the bulk of the money, so he would get about 40 percent.

Xu Ruyi said nothing, but calculated with the abacus for a while, and finally put it down and said, "Deal!"

"No hurry, sign the contract first." Xiao Guo held Xu Ruyi, who was anxious to learn the recipe. One should be cautious when doing business.

Xiaoguo wrote two contracts and handed them to the other party for review. Xu Ruyi looked at them carefully and signed her name at the end. Xiaoguo saw Xu Ruyi handing over the contract after signing her name and reminded her, "You haven't stamped your personal seal yet."

Xu Ruyi blushed, then she remembered that she had a personal seal. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I forgot to stamp it, because it is only necessary to stamp it when settling the accounts every month, but I haven't settled the accounts yet..." After saying that, she hurried to the counter, took out her own seal, and stamped it forcefully on the two signatures.

Xiaoguo said it was okay, took it and looked at it carefully. He signed his name only after confirming that there was no problem, and then used Xu Ruyi's ink pad to press his own fingerprints.

Xiaoguo put away one portion for each person, borrowed a piece of paper and pen, and wrote down every step in detail, including the production of potato starch, fish balls, and precautions. He wrote everything down clearly. He asked for another piece of paper and wrote down the method of making the base soup, the spices used and the amounts, which took up half a page.

Hand all the papers to Xu Ruyi, "Study it first and prepare the necessary ingredients. I will come over tomorrow morning to teach you how to make fish balls and potato starch."

Xu Ruyi held the paper carefully, as if holding a gold bar, and nodded repeatedly as she listened to Xiaoguo's words, "Okay, I'll prepare it right away. I promise to prepare everything when you come over tomorrow."

Xiaoguo nodded, turned around and walked out. He was delayed for a while today, and Zhuangzhuang must be getting anxious. Thinking of his son, he dared not delay any longer and hurried to Taohua Village.
