Li Mengyue's guess was indeed correct. Not only did the Qian family not dare to break the contract, they would also find ways to tie themselves tightly to Li Mengyue. It would be best if Qian Dongjie married Li Mengyue.
However, the last time Qian Dongjie was in a restaurant, he ran into Li Mengyue having dinner with a strange man. He learned from the man that Li Mengyue was pregnant. Qian Dongjie was deeply shocked and almost collapsed.
Mrs. Qian noticed that something was wrong with her son, so she asked Butler Qian.
After learning about what happened to her son from Butler Qian, she felt heartbroken but also wanted Li Mengyue to be her daughter-in-law.
But Li Mengyue already had a man and was pregnant. She didn't know why they had a child before getting married, but she wouldn't say anything about it.
But when it comes to her son, she has to be cautious.
She wanted to cancel the cooperation with Li Mengyue. Since they broke the contract first, they would naturally pay compensation according to the contract.
As for the tofu recipe, although tofu is very simple to make, it would be difficult without the method given by Li Mengyue.
They never imagined that a grain like soybeans could be used to make white and tender tofu.
Therefore, she would give Li Mengyue a sum of money, which was equivalent to buying out the tofu recipe. From then on, tofu would have nothing to do with Li Mengyue, and she would not be allowed to make and sell it privately.
However, when she discussed this idea with her master, her son heard it and directly rejected it.
The reason why Qian Dongjie disagreed was because he knew that there was no chance of success between him and Li Mengyue.
Even if he didn't mind the baby in Li Mengyue's belly, he knew very well that based on his understanding of Li Mengyue, she would never agree to marry him.
Besides, he also knew that the man with Li Mengyue had an aura far beyond his reach.
How could such a man watch Li Mengyue marry another man when he knew that his woman was pregnant?
But he felt his heart beating for the first time in his life, and he didn't want to lose contact with Li Mengyue, so he begged his parents to continue cooperating with Li Mengyue, and he would still be responsible for it.
He thought that since he couldn't be with his beloved, he had to maintain a relationship with Li Mengyue and become Li Mengyue's good friend.
Mrs. Qian didn't believe in pure friendship between men and women, but her son had been in poor health since childhood and had suffered a lot.
She was also worried about her son all the time, and she didn't know when he died. After so many years of careful care, it had become a habit, even ingrained in her bones.
He couldn't bear to refuse any of his son's requests, even though he knew there was no possibility for his son and Li Mengyue.
But seeing her son so sad, she couldn't bear it and really cut off his last hope.
So she compromised and stopped talking about breaking off the cooperation, but instead actively helped manage her own business.
You should know that ever since their restaurant started serving tofu-related dishes, some restaurants that were originally losing money and were about to close have managed to survive. Not only are they no longer losing money, they are even making a profit. If they continue like this, it won't be long before the loss-making restaurants will be revived.
The key is that after their family got the method of making tofu, they immediately hired someone to build a workshop specifically for producing tofu, and sold it to ordinary people at a very low price, so that people could have another nutritious and delicious dish on their tables.
Since tofu costs only two cents per pound, has high nutritional value and tastes great, it is loved by the general public.
Not only did it not affect the business of Qian's restaurant, but many people heard that the tofu came from the Qian family, and many people went to the restaurant to taste the food made with tofu.
Li Mengyue also gave seven or eight tofu-related dishes, especially Mapo Tofu. The clever use of the seasoning Sichuan pepper highlighted the spicy flavor of Mapo Tofu, which stimulated the taste buds when eaten and made people addicted. They wanted to eat more.
In addition, the spicy taste of Mapo Tofu is also the reason why many people can't forget it.
