As expected, when the village chief heard that he was going to give him the three hundred copper coins, he got excited and said, "How can this be possible? Tangtang, take it back!"
"Grandpa Village Head, you stay up late every day to do the accounting and burn a lot of lamp oil. I'll just consider it as a subsidy for the lamp oil!"
The village chief was immediately delighted when he heard this: "Then I will listen to Tangtang and accept the three hundred copper coins."
As the village chief happily walked out of the Ning family's house, he was still thinking, "How am I going to eat all the bamboo shoots Tangtang has dried? Who am I going to sell them to?"
At this time, Ye Jingxiao was sitting in the study of Ye's house. The dishes on the table were all common ones, but he had no urge to eat them.
"Go away, I'm not hungry!"
"Ye Jingxiao, is the injury on your foot finally healed?" Ning Xiaotang, who spoke in a baby voice, was followed by Luo Xiangqin.
"Young Master Ye, our Tangtang said you've lost your appetite lately. Let's see if these dishes I cooked using Tangtang's recipe are to your liking."
Ye Jingxiao raised his hand to signal Xu Qingfeng, and Xu Qingfeng immediately stepped forward to take the food box.
"Thank you, Madam Ning!" Ye Jingxiao said politely.
He looked at Ning Xiaotang again and said, "My foot injury has healed."
"I can see that your daily training intensity is extremely high. Do you still have any of my fruit wine?"
Ye Jingxiao looked at Xu Qingfeng.
"My lord, Miss Ning, there is only one small cup of fruit wine left." Xu Qingfeng bowed carefully at this time.
"Fortunately, I've made preparations. Xu Qingfeng, come with me back to the Ning family to get the fruit wine."
"Yes, Miss Ning," Xu Qingfeng took out the dishes again.
When Xu Qingfeng saw the stir-fried pork belly with dried bamboo shoots and red chili peppers, he immediately swallowed his saliva.
Ye Jingxiao also saw this plate of very tempting food.
"What kind of dish is this? It smells so good?"
"Ye Jingxiao, try it first and then I'll tell you."
Then Ye Jingxiao picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of food and tasted it.
"Wow, that's spicy! But it tastes so good!"
As Ye Jingxiao spoke, he picked up his chopsticks to pick up some dishes. The taste of meat, vegetables and chili peppers made Ye Jingxiao, who had not eaten for a few days, immediately eat three bowls of rice.
Xu Qingfeng saw a plate of food with only a little bit of thick soup left, but Ye Jingxiao still didn't let it go. He poured half a bowl of rice on it and ate it up.
Luo Xiangqin was filled with joy when she saw Ye Jingxiao eating the food she cooked.
"Ye Jingxiao, how does my stir-fried pork belly with chili peppers and dried bamboo shoots taste?"
"Not bad, this is the first time a dish has appeared that can make me eat three bowls of rice in a row!"
Ye Jingxiao touched his belly and felt warm there, as if he was feeling particularly happy.
"Grandma, please clean up the dishes and go back to the Ning family. I have something to discuss with Master Ye."
Luo Xiangqin immediately stepped forward to clear the dishes: "Okay!"
After Luo Xiangqin left, Ye Jingxiao asked with a probing look, "Are you looking for me to buy dried bamboo shoots?"
"So, Mr. Ye, you and I have the same idea?" Ning Xiaotang smiled sweetly.
"I don't think the same as you! Why should I buy your dried bamboo shoots?" Ye Jingxiao didn't want to be so obedient.
"Well, think about it, you eat fine food every day, and after a while, you get tired of the same old food.
Using this dried bamboo shoots instead will give it a unique flavor, especially if you own a restaurant. This batch of dried bamboo shoots will last a long time."
Ye Jingxiao knew that Ning Xiaotang would not treat him to a meal for nothing.
"No wonder you're forcing the villagers to dig bamboo shoots. Aren't you trying to make a huge profit?"
"Explosive profits? That's not as big as the huge profits you can make with just one move, Master Ye!
In return, I can give you the recipe! But I have to share the profits!"
"What? You want dividends?"
"How is it? Is the dish still not fragrant enough?" Ning Xiaotang smiled secretly.
Who just ate all the rice and soup? Now he really wants to get her recipe.
"How much is a pound of dried bamboo shoots? How are the profits from the vegetable recipes distributed?"
When Ning Xiaotang heard Ye Jingxiao start asking, she immediately said in a cute way, "Dried bamboo shoots require ten pounds of bamboo shoots to make one pound of dried bamboo shoots. The labor and other expenses during this period are covered, so I want one tael of silver per pound. As for the profit from the recipes, I'm not greedy, so I'll take one tael of silver for each dish!"
Xu Qingfeng, who was standing nearby, was so shocked when he heard this that his forehead twitched and his eyes widened.
But Ye Jingxiao tapped the table with his hand in satisfaction, "Xu Qingfeng, go and draft the agreement."
"Yes, I'll do it right away." Xu Qingfeng looked stunned.
His master actually agreed to such a high dividend.
Then Ye Jingxiao wrote his name on the agreement.
When Ning Xiaotang saw the agreement she had agreed to, she said cutely, "We'll have people prepare carriages to take the dried bamboo shoots temporarily stored at the Ye residence to various towns for use. I provided the recipe.
Don’t worry if someone else copies your recipe. The dish is still the same, but the taste will definitely not be as authentic as ours.”
Ye Jingxiao nodded lightly and said, "Send someone to weigh the goods with Xu Qingfeng quickly so that we can settle the payment."
"Thank you, Mr. Ye." Ning Xiaotang retreated cutely.
A piece of agreement in the space was placed next to the little civet cat. "Little civet cat, keep the agreement. This is silver!"
Ning Xiaotang's voice came in his mind, startling the little cat so much that he immediately put the agreement in the small box beside the table.
It must do well according to its master's request.
Ning Xiaotang sent Ning Zilin and Ning Ziqiang to weigh the dried bamboo shoots, and recorded the weighed results in a booklet.
Xu Qingfeng even had a team of people load the dried bamboo shoots onto the carriage at an extremely fast speed.
It didn't take too much time to weigh all the dried bamboo shoots. When it came to the last bag, Xu Qingfeng immediately said, "Leave this bag for the master to enjoy."
Ning Zilin immediately said unhappily, "It has to be weighed. We can't just give it to Ye for free!"
Xu Qingfeng felt unhappy when he heard this, but after thinking about it, it made sense, "Then put it on my account!"
A baby voice came from not far away.
"Sister, this bag of dried bamboo shoots weighs twenty kilograms and is worth twenty taels of silver!" Ning Zilin immediately felt reluctant to part with it.
"Brother, leave one bag for Master Ye. Consider it a gift from me."
Ning Zilin looked at Ning Xiaotang's serious expression and said, "Okay then!"
Xu Qingfeng immediately thanked her and said, "Thank you for your generosity, Miss Ning. I will give you the money from my personal pocket."
"No need, Qingfeng, your monthly allowance isn't that much either. Twenty taels of silver is still too much for you. I'll take it."
Ning Xiaotang said without allowing any objection.
"Thank you, Miss Ning!" Xu Qingfeng had no choice but to agree.
Ning Xiaotang said after Xu Qingfeng left with a bag of dried bamboo shoots, "Brother, although this bag of dried bamboo shoots is worth twenty taels of silver, business is a long-term business. Occasionally giving a small profit is to maintain our relationship. Don't be so concerned about such a small matter."
