Then, Hua Shi prepared the remaining three dishes together with his skillful and efficient technique. Guan Wei, who was standing by, watched and nodded, feeling more certain.
Even if he has to pay a high price to hire this young lady to cook, he will pay for it!
He still couldn't believe it. With such a talented cook, his restaurant couldn't be revived?!
After trying the remaining three fish dishes, Guan Wei smacked his tongue, which was unconsciously drooling. His mouth and tongue felt numb, but it didn't hurt like eating chili peppers directly. Eating it with the fish was an indescribable feeling...
But none of this prevented it from being delicious! This taste was something he had never tasted before, and it was fresh, meaning it was something not available elsewhere.
Guan Wei couldn't wait to bring up the idea of asking Hua Shi to work as a cook in the restaurant again, but this time Hua Shi didn't ignore it and directly rejected it...
"W-What? Why?!"
Guan Wei's eyes widened slightly. He didn't expect Hua Shi to reject him so bluntly.
Hua Shi had no such plan from the beginning. Not to mention that she and Lin Haishan seemed to have established a vague and lingering connection, she also had three hungry brothers and sisters waiting for her at home. From the current point of view, she did not want to leave Shoushan Village.
Xie Mingchi, who was standing next to her, also heard her shaking her head in refusal. Although it was not visible on his face, his dark eyes clearly brightened up.
If Ah Shi wanted to stay in the town and work as a cook, he would naturally not object...but he could not leave the village for long. He was a mountain guard and was destined to guard Lin Hai Mountain for the rest of his life.
If Ah Shi stayed in the town, and he and Ah Shi got married, he would have to run back and forth. Although it would be a bit troublesome, it wouldn't matter...
Xie Mingchi had already gone over what was going to happen next in his mind, but his face remained expressionless.
Hua Shi coughed lightly and said softly, "Boss, have you forgotten? We are here to discuss the fish business. I don't want to be a restaurant cook."
Guan Wei was a little anxious after hearing this, and hurriedly continued, "I know. As long as you agree, the fish business will naturally be easy. If you stay here as a cook, wouldn't it be a win-win situation? Besides...besides, aren't these recipes unique to your family? If you write them down to me, wouldn't you be at a loss? If you stay here, I won't ask for your recipes, and you can still keep them. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"
After Guan Ling tasted the four dishes again, the spicy, tender fish meat made her smack her lips and gasp. This... is too delicious!
She also suppressed her initial doubts, listened to her brother's persuasion, and nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, my brother is right. If the cook was replaced by you, I still believe that she can be saved..."
She was talking about the restaurant that was about to go bankrupt.
They had just driven away the fake chef, and now there was a human cook. The brother and sister were not stupid. After thinking about it, they realized that this was a great plan, so they should grab it if they could. It would be a good idea to keep this rare person.
The two men's repeated words of persuasion did not change Hua Shi's mind. She said, "You two are just trying something you've never tasted before, so you're so anxious. In fact, these recipes are not too difficult. As long as you follow the steps, anyone else will make it and it will taste just as good."
She was telling the two of them in a disguised way that she was not necessary, but the menu was necessary.
Guan Wei frowned, still unwilling to let Hua Shi go. The two sides were deadlocked for a while. Guan Wei was sure that Hua Shi really would not change his mind, so he relented, "Okay, then what do you want in exchange for writing the recipe for me?"
There was no reason for others to write to him for nothing. If he bought all the hundred or so recipes she mentioned... he might not have enough money.
He remembered that two years ago, when he bought the recipe from a family in the east of the town, he spent a full twenty taels of silver.
If I count these hundreds of recipes and buy them all...
Guan Wei frowned and fell into deep thought.
That's a lot of money...
After all, Guan Wei is also a businessman who will not do anything without profit. Although it is a huge sum, if he can successfully take it over this time, as long as the restaurant is built, the money will still flow into his pocket.
Without waiting for Hua Shi to speak, Guan Wei suggested, "How about this? First, write me a recipe for forty samples. I can give you... ten taels of silver for each. I'll also take over the fish business you mentioned at the beginning. How do you do that?"
The fish I just ate tasted so soft and tender, and the texture was indeed better than the fish I had found before...
This business, calculated this way, is all his profit...
Guan Ling turned his head to glance at his elder brother, his brows subconsciously frowned for a moment, then relaxed immediately, his face expressionless.
Her brother was really cunning. He actually cut the price of the recipe in half. Ten taels of silver was the price he paid for it outright. It seemed like a lot when added up, but if you added it up, it was too cheap...
Although Guan Ling felt that she was being cheated, this was related to her own restaurant business, so she naturally couldn't expose her brother's little thoughts behind his back. She turned her gaze to Hua Shi, waiting for her to give a reply.
Hua Shi was too busy trying to guess the little thoughts of the two siblings. When he heard that Guan Wei was willing to spend ten taels of silver to buy his recipe, he almost couldn't help but agree.
Ten taels of silver per share, forty shares would be four hundred taels of silver, this, this, this...
Guan Wei and Guan Ling didn't know that in fact, most of the steps in the recipes she mentioned were repetitive. As long as you master the trick of one of them, the remaining thirty-nine can be easily deciphered and studied by spending some time. These are not easy things.
