After settling this matter, she raised her head and walked back to the main courtyard arrogantly. When she looked at Xiaoxiao again, she felt smug that victory was in her hands.
Just as Xiaoxiao was feeling puzzled, a maidservant came to tell her that Shopkeeper Xu wanted to see her. She told her brothers and followed the maidservant to the guest hall.
Shopkeeper Xu, who finally found an opportunity to speak, immediately shook his head and denied it. "Of course not. Miss Cousin, this matter has to be decided by Boss himself. In addition, Miss Ning has helped our restaurant a lot these days." It was inconvenient for him to say anything else. After all, strictly speaking, she was also one of the employers.
These questions were each more impolite than the other. Ning Dalang and Ning Erlang’s faces darkened, but Xiaoxiao acted very calm.
Shopkeeper Xu frowned. "How did you know about this?"
"Let’s talk business first. If I find out in the future that you used this secret recipe again, don’t blame me for being merciless."
Her expression was calm. "I don’t feel inferior because of this. On the contrary, I’m very proud because if it weren’t for us farming, you young ladies wouldn’t even have enough to eat."
It was He Ruhuan again. To be honest, Xiaoxiao was already a little annoyed after meeting her a few times today.
"Do you have any merchant shops? How much are they worth?" fr\eewebno vel .c(o)m
What a joke. What could a country bumpkin like her do to help the restaurant? Wasn’t she just using some lousy things to cheat them of their money?
Without needing her to say anything, Shopkeeper Xu could not hold it in anymore. "Miss Cousin, your price is simply..."
"Your name is Ning Xiaoxiao, right?"
Xiaoxiao understood. "You didn’t call me over, right?"
"Do you have a farmyard? Or the best quality land?"
Shopkeeper Xu was dumbfounded. At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in the room.
"I heard that Miss Ning wants to cooperate with our Fragrance Restaurant?"
"Yes, my name is Ning Xiaoxiao. Since you know my name, you must have asked about my family’s situation from elsewhere. Just as you think, my family background is ordinary. I’m just a farmer. My family doesn’t have money or power, but so what?"
It was clearly He Ruhuan who came to provoke her, but she was the one who turned pale from anger in the end. "What an arrogant peasant girl. Let me ask you, you’re poor. Where did you get the confidence to discuss a collaboration with our restaurant?"
"Does anyone in the family have an official position or a title?"
Xiaoxiao did not look at her and only asked Shopkeeper Xu, "She’s your Boss?"
Then, she turned to look at Xiaoxiao. "Pardon me for being blunt, but those who can talk about ’cooperation’ with our family are all outstanding figures. Miss Ning, you..." She smiled and scanned the siblings up and down without hiding anything.
He Ruhuan glanced at him arrogantly. "Shopkeeper Xu, you don’t have to know."
He Ruhuan raised her head proudly and looked at Xiaoxiao with her nostrils. "There’s no need for Cousin to ask about such a small matter personally. Aunt asked me to take care of some family business, so I’ll make a decision for her. Buy that Ruyi bun’s secret recipe for 20 taels of silver. You don’t have to interfere in the future."
"Since you don’t like me, why don’t you stay away and let me go?"
Shopkeeper Xu was surprised to see her. "Miss Ning, why are you here?"
Xiaoxiao was amused. She could get 20 taels by selling the seasoning sauce for a month. With this price, He Ruhuan still wanted to buy it out?
He Ruhuan had already lost her patience. "Shopkeeper Xu, are you taking advantage of your seniority to make a decision for your master?"
