Qian Wang looked at the shopkeeper Qian standing outside and ordered, "Take her to collect fifty taels of silver. We will buy this recipe from Piaoxianglou!"
Shopkeeper Qian bowed and responded.
After the two left, Qian Wang asked Xing Feng in confusion, "Why are you asking this?"
Xing Yun stared at the peppercorns on the plate in a trance. When he heard the words beside him, he replied, "Rongcheng is located in the northwest, and it is extremely cold in winter. What if I add peppercorns to the food in the army?"
Qian Wang was too lazy to listen to this guy talking about military matters, so he interrupted, "There's no point in overthinking. Come on, let's drink. It's rare that you're willing to come out with me, so let's not go home until we're drunk!"
Xing Yun saw that his companions had no intention of understanding the matter, so he said no more.
On the other side, Manager Qian led Li Yan to the accounting office. When passing through the lobby, they could vaguely smell a strange fragrance coming from the kitchen.
It was dinner time, and many diners curiously asked the waiter, "What are you cooking in the kitchen? It's really piqued my appetite. Hurry and give me a portion!"
When the diners next to him heard this, they all agreed and said they wanted one too.
Seeing this scene, Shopkeeper Qian couldn't help but say excitedly, "Miss, you are truly my benefactor. With your recipe, our Piaoxianglou will surely have a great income in the second half of the year!"
Li Yan said modestly, "This is all thanks to Manager Qian's good management!"
The two of them flattered each other.
After Li Yan collected the money, she asked, "I wonder if the Zhou family's fish will be available tomorrow as usual?"
"Don't worry, I've already told the purchasing department to buy all the fish they brought in today, and they'll be supplying fish to our restaurant starting tomorrow!"
When Li Yan heard what Manager Qian said, her heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
When Li Yan came out of Piaoxianglou, the Zhou father and son who were waiting nearby hurried forward to thank her: "Miss Li, we've sold all the over 30 fish we brought today! Thank you so much for today!"
Li Yan looked at Uncle Zhou, whose face was wrinkled with laughter. "I heard from Shopkeeper Qian that starting tomorrow you can deliver fish to Piaoxianglou!"
Uncle Zhou nodded vigorously, a smile on his weathered face.
"Thanks to Miss Li, I don't have anything good to thank you for. I'll ask Erlang to bring some fish home tomorrow!"
Li Yan quickly declined.
What Li Yan didn't know was that the scene of her greeting with the Zhou father and son was seen by Xing Yun upstairs.
Looking at the girl with a bright smile, it turned out that the girl's timid appearance just now was just pretending!
Because Li Yan still needed to tell Zheng Hui a story, the three of them said goodbye at Piaoxianglou.
Li Yan came to the side door of the county government office and knocked on the gate.
The gatekeeper knew Li Yan: "Oh, young lady, you came at an unfortunate time today. Our young lady and the mistress are out meeting guests!"
Li Yan had originally planned to hand the item to Zheng Hui and leave, so she took out a small booklet from her bosom and handed it to the old woman guarding her, saying, "This is the story Miss Zheng asked me to write. Please give it to her when she comes back!"
The gatekeeper did not dare to neglect the matter and hurriedly put the book away: "Don't worry, young lady, since it is something you want, it will not be lost!
After delivering the things, Li Yan saw that it was still early, so she went to the meat market.
Now that she has some money, Li Yan plans to ask her grandparents, uncle and his family to help her tidy up the barren mountain tomorrow.
In Li Yan's plan, this barren mountain is not just for picking forsythia.
Later she planned to engage in breeding in the mountains. However, relying only on the small amount of land allocated by her family, it would be difficult to support Li Erlang's studies, let alone a family of three!
