"That's good! In that case, I'd like to ask if you could help me find a reliable person to guide me with the remaining silver."
My aunt runs a general store on the mountain, but there are still many things she doesn't have.
"Since I've come all this way down the mountain, I might as well stock up on some goods for her."
"Alright, once you've taught Lao Qi well, I'll have someone take you shopping right away."
I guarantee the price you get is the lowest in this county.
Chi Qiao knew that the manager of such a large restaurant was usually a man of his word, so she quickly thanked him.
"Thank you very much, Manager Cheng! Don't worry, I will definitely study the recipe carefully when I get back."
I'll try my best to cook another delicious meal that will satisfy you next time we go to town!
Upon hearing this, Manager Cheng's eyes immediately crinkled with a smile.
Especially when I recalled the satisfied look on my master's face as he ate the barbecue.
He thought that this year, the managers of the restaurants under his master's name in other places would definitely have to curry favor with him.
All for that secret ingredient!
Because the two dishes, along with the secret ingredients, sold for 300 taels, Chi Qiao was unable to return home for lunch that day.
He was either teaching Qi Paoding at Tongfu Restaurant or helping to make barbecue for Qin Mu's private room upstairs.
Of course, she had also read out the secret ingredients she needed for the barbecue, and asked Manager Cheng to arrange for people to buy them separately from the pharmacy.
After buying the spices and Qin Mu and the others left, she began making Thirteen Spices and Five Spices Powder.
After these two are made, you can even add some when stir-frying vegetables.
For barbecue, you need to add cumin powder, chili powder, and pepper powder to the base.
With all the seasonings available, Qi Paoding is quite easy to learn.
In fact, his requirements for the temperature and heat were even more precise than Chi Qiao's.
Therefore, in just one afternoon, he surpassed his teacher, Chi Qiao, and directly outperformed him.
Having successfully retired, Chi Qiao came to ask Manager Cheng for advice before leaving.
"Manager Cheng, Chef Qi has already learned it."
"I have given you everything you were entitled to, so when will you arrange for my grain and the remaining silver?"
Manager Cheng immediately took out two fifty-tael silver notes.
"This banknote comes from Fenglong Bank, which is widely used in our Great Chu Kingdom, and everyone recognizes it."
There's a money exchange in our county town; you can just take your money there and exchange it for silver.
You can also use this method for transactions when purchasing goods.
Chi Qiao was ignorant, well, it should be said that the original owner was ignorant, so Chi Qiao didn't know how feasible silver notes were at this time.
She laid it all out upfront: "If I take this to a grocery store and they don't want it, I'll have to bring it back to you to exchange for it."
"Alright! If you're worried, you can bring Young Master Qin along."
As for the grain, my wife's idea is that the government should send someone to accompany the cart to Chijia'ao to haul coal.
We'll accompany you and help you transport it back. That way, you'll save yourself the trouble of going back and forth.
Of course, if you're still worried, I can give you two hundred taels first.
When you go to Chijia'ao, take stock of the grain.
If I'm not mistaken, then I'll pay you in one hand and let the goods and truck go with you in the other.
In modern times, Chi Qiao was a lawyer. She valued tangible things more than verbal promises.
Therefore, when she left, she had three hundred taels of silver notes in her pocket.
The two hundred taels were agreed upon; they would be returned to the other party after confirming that there were no problems with the grain before they left.
Chi Qiao, carrying a large sum of money, was overjoyed when she left Tongfu Restaurant.
She had already made an appointment with Manager Cheng. Tomorrow at 9:00 AM, someone would come to the Qin family to take her to buy goods for the general store.
But this joy was quickly shattered by someone walking towards them.
"Sister-in-law?"
Qi Mingyu never dreamed that he would run into Zhou Sanya in this kind of weather in the county town.
