C13 Pot

Xia Xiaochan didn't know that Lee Congwen hated her again. Of course, even if she did, she wouldn't care.

There were some people who were a little bit like greedy snakes. Their greed would never be satisfied and they would only hate others, everything was the fault of others, they were never wrong, taking care of such people would ensure that their greed would never be realized. Such people would definitely suffer for their entire lives.

Lee Congwen had never done business before, so he naturally didn't know much about these merchants' methods. Seeing the shopkeeper bargain with him, he thought that the storekeeper was truly tempted.

While the shopkeeper was talking with Lee Congwen, a man who looked like a kitchen servant walked over and said something to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper who was talking to Lee Congwen said, "Young Master Li, please wait for a moment, I have something to do."

Lee Congwen had a bad premonition and hurriedly said, "Shopkeeper, don't go yet. We have already agreed on the price."

The shopkeeper laughed, "Young Master Li, since your recipe is good, why are you worrying about this? Just you wait, I'll be back in a bit. "

The shopkeeper followed a kitchen maid at the side and disappeared in a flash. Lee Congwen looked and gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.

Besides, when the Wealth Building Manager entered the backyard again and saw that there were no outsiders around, he said to Niu Er who was working in the kitchen, "Niu Er, is what you said true? Is it really that little girl who said that? "

"Shopkeeper, it is absolutely true! That young lady said that if you want to buy that recipe, you will definitely regret it! That recipe is just a piece of silver lance wax and is simply useless. The words on it are ominous, and it is not a secret recipe at all!"

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "I know. From Lee Congwen's words, he could tell that there was something wrong with his recipe. I just didn't think that this little girl would be interesting. She can actually cook the so-called cooking pot?"

Niu Er's face was also filled with excitement as he said, "Shopkeeper, after that girl mixed with the seasonings, she has already let us in to watch. Don't say, that taste, tsk tsk, it's so fragrant. I really want to have a bite of it."

"Is it really that good?"

"I haven't tasted it yet. Anyway, I just swallowed the saliva after smelling it. I'm so greedy that my heart is itching."

The storekeeper followed Niu Er into the kitchen. Xia Xiaochan's hotpot soup was cooking in the kitchen. They were only waiting for the fire to go off before they put it into the vegetable and eat it.

When she turned around and saw the Wealth Building Manager walk in, she wasn't surprised in the slightest and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper, it's almost done. You just have to wait a little longer."

The shopkeeper looked at the steaming red base of the wok and smelled the alluring fragrance. His eyes twinkled as he said, "Little girl, make this wok properly. If you cook well, the price won't be a problem."

Xia Xiaochan had experienced all of this in her previous life, but now that she had redone it, she seemed much more composed. She casually said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, don't forget to take care of this little girl when you earn a lot of money."

The shopkeeper's eyes narrowed. "Little girl, thank you for your auspicious words."

As he wished, he explained, "This pot, also known as a hotpot, the best way to eat it is to cook and eat it while it is being eaten. The shopkeeper needs to prepare a special small pot to store the soup, and the bottom of the pot needs to be burned with a good charcoal fire to let the pot boil while it is cooked. This way, eating it is both spicy, fragrant, and interesting, eating it like this in the middle of winter, makes your whole body warm up."

The more the shopkeeper listened to Xia Xiaochan, the brighter his eyes shone.

Xia Xiaochan's method of cooking had never been eaten like this in the entire imperial city before. The shopkeeper had been doing business for many years, and almost immediately, he knew that once this pot was released, it would become extremely popular in the entire imperial city.

Of course, the new taste of the pot can be novel, but the most important thing is still to see the taste. Everything, wait until the taste is tasted before coming to a conclusion.

Immediately, the head storekeeper returned to the front hall.

At this moment, Lee Congwen couldn't wait any longer. He asked anxiously, "Shopkeeper, what do you think?"

"Young Master Li, that prescription of yours really isn't worth that much money."

Lee Congwen's eyebrows jumped, "Then how much did the shopkeeper say it was worth?"

The restaurant manager immediately stretched out a finger.

"Ten taels less?" This... "It's not impossible …" Lee Congwen couldn't wait to sell the prescription immediately. As long as he had a few dozen taels of silver, it would be enough to improve his family's condition and support him going to school.

Unexpectedly, the manager shook his head and said, "No, no, no, how can it be only 10 silver coins less?" Young Master Li, according to our estimates, your prescription is not worth this price since there is no physical comparison. "

Lee Congwen gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I'll take the 10 taels as well. Give me the money, take the prescription."

However, the shopkeeper continued to shake his head and said, "Young Master Li, I said one tael."

One tael of silver was still a friendship price. Seeing that Lee Congwen was a scholar, he didn't want to offend him so he gave this price.

After all, after the hotpot was released, everyone knew that there were chili peppers and pepper in the hotpot. However, if there were no other recipes, the head storekeeper would never believe it.

Of course, if there were no other secret recipes, then this hotpot would not be worth it, because even if it was released, it would still be a loss. How could anyone be willing to spend money to buy something that could be seen by everyone?

Lee Congwen was a self-righteous person, so he was naturally unhappy. He thought that the shopkeeper was deliberately trying to suppress him. He was angry as he said fiercely, "What a cunning businessman! He's too much of a bully, he's too much of a bully. Hmph, I'm not selling this recipe anymore. I'll sell it at Hundred Flavors Restaurant!"

With that, Lee Congwen left with his chest puffed up.

When the storekeeper heard this, he let out a mocking smile and disapproved.

Does this Lee Congwen really think that I'm someone special? His family was so poor, yet they still schemed against others like this, even giving him a silver tael. However, when they sent off beggars, they did not want this person to extort them and still act so smug. This person wanted to go to the Hundred Flavors Tower and take some suffering.

Just as Lee Congwen raised his head and was about to leave, Xia Xiaochan's pot was brought out at that moment.

Almost immediately, the fragrance of the noodles wafted over. The few customers who were sparsely greedy were all staring with wide eyes.

Even Lee Congwen, who had been starving the whole morning, stopped in his tracks. His stomach almost immediately let out a "gu gu gu" sound.

Lee Congwen had already eaten this pot before, so he naturally knew the beauty of this pot. Although Xia Xiaochan was just a village girl, it was undeniable that Xia Xiaochan's culinary skills were still pretty good.

Especially this pot.

The shopkeeper first took a bite of the chopsticks, and then, without stopping, he continued to eat a lot of the chopsticks.

At the side, a customer said, "Shopkeeper, let us have a taste as well."

"Alright, everyone can come and try it for free. This is our Wealth Building's hot pot that is about to be released, at that time, I hope that everyone will come and support us."

Almost as soon as the shopkeeper finished his sentence, the customers all surrounded him, scrambling to eat.

Xia Xiaochan watched from the side with a slight smile on her face. She seemed to have seen a Big Yuan Treasure swaying before her eyes.

On the side, Little Fool watched helplessly as he held her hand.

Xia Xiaochan found it a little funny and whispered to comfort him, "Be good. I'll cook for you in the future and give you a big bowl of it."

Only then did Little Fool calm down.

The big pot of pot, after a short while, was completely finished.

After the customers finished eating, they all asked the manager, "Shopkeeper, when will you be releasing the dishes?" We're waiting to eat. "

The shopkeeper's eyes were smiling from ear to ear as he said, "As soon as possible!"
