Luo Qiuyun had harvested a lot of bamboo shoots this time. Other than the ones she needed to eat recently, the rest had already been dried off by Luo Qiuyun.

When everyone heard that it was for later, they all raised their hands in approval.

The next day, Luo Tianli and Shen San returned to school. Luo Qiuyun, on the other hand, led Chen Jing and Luo Tianxiang to continue their journey up the mountain.

Chen Jing and Luo Tianli, the two puny guys, sat together and helped Luo Qiuyun to remove the bamboo shoot. Luo Qiuyun only needed to focus on removing the bamboo shoot.

In the morning, he would prepare the cured meat and let Hongfu Restaurant take away the cured meat. Afterwards, he would enter the mountain to try and break the bamboo shoots, and during this period, he would occasionally run into one or two pheasants. Luo Qiuyun was quick to capture them and go back to give everyone more food. The happiest ones were naturally the two gluttons Luo Tianli and Shen San, especially Shen San, who treated Luo Family as their own home.

Chen Jing, on the other hand, was quite curious. Luo Qiuyun looked at the thin and weak looking young man. She didn't expect that he was actually a 'martial artist' who was very happy.

However, he was also very happy to follow Luo Qiuyun up the mountain every day, even talking more and more. Occasionally, when Luo Tianli, Shen San and the others came back from school, Luo Tianxiang would even "make a fuss" about it with the two of them.

Their days were peaceful and beautiful, but it was not like there were no waves at all. Just when everyone was unprepared, a message came from the Hongfu Restaurant, saying that their boss had come from the capital and wanted to meet Luo Qiuyun …

"Shen San, don't you know about Hongfu Restaurant? Why is he looking for my sister? " When Luo Tianli received the news, the first thing he did was to ask Third Young Master Shen about it.

Shen San didn't know what was going on, but he was born and raised in a high gate courtyard. After thinking for a while, he guessed the gist of it, "It's probably because of our family's cured meat, the coachman has been complaining a lot these days. That guy came to compare us with the intention of expanding his business."

"Sis, what do you think?" Luo Tianli asked Luo Qiuyun after getting her answer.

"Shen San is right, it should be the recipe for the stewed meat." Luo Qiuyun pondered and said.

"Then what should we do? If I knew earlier, I wouldn't have cooperated with Hongfu Restaurant, I wouldn't have felt so at ease right now. " Luo Tianli complained.

Even though he was young, he had a strong sense of foresight. Thanks to the nomination Luo Qiuyun had given him every day on the mountain, his intelligence couldn't be compared to an ordinary nine-year-old kid.

"No worries. Since he invited me over himself, I believe he also wants to discuss something with us. I'll go meet him tomorrow." Luo Qiuyun said indifferently.

Seeing that she wasn't nervous at all, Luo Tianli didn't know whether to worry or to let it go.

"Tianli, go busy yourself. Shen San, stay here and tell me about that master's information." Luo Qiuyun asked.

"Uh," Shen San didn't quite understand Luo Qiuyun's intention, but since Luo Qiuyun asked for it, he still explained it in detail.

In short, the person Luo Qiuyun would be facing tomorrow was a direct descendant of some big family in the capital. In short, the person Luo Qiuyun would be facing tomorrow was a direct descendant of some big family in the capital.

"So that's how it is. I understand. You should also write. Tonight, I'll make you guys some delicious food." After Luo Qiuyun got the information she wanted, she waved her hand and no longer bothered Shen San.

The next day, Luo Qiuyun entered the city as promised, carrying Luo Tianxiang and following behind her. The three of them walked and strolled along, not as if they were going to meet up but to have fun.

Passing by a candy man's stall, Luo Qiuyun even stopped and bought a candy man for Luo Tianxiang and Chen Jing to eat.

"Mother, Sugar Man is so delicious. Can we buy another one when we get back?" Luo Tianxiang was the youngest and did not realize the nervousness of an adult. When he saw Luo Qiuyun bringing him into the city, he thought she was here to play, so he was especially happy.

"Isn't one piece enough for Tianxiang? If you eat too much sweet food, be careful about your teeth growing bugs, don't tell me you have toothache later on. " Luo Qiuyun replied as if nothing had happened, but Chen Jing, who was standing behind her, was not as composed as she was.

"Miss, why are you still in the mood to discuss all this with young master? Hurry up and think about what to do. Didn't young master Shen tell us yesterday that we cannot offend that master of ours?" As Chen Jing spoke, the worried expression on her face increased.

Luo Qiuyun curled her lips and said without a care, "What's there to think about? He's a noble that cannot be offended. At most, he'll only benefit a little. I don't believe that he'll do anything to me."

"Aiyo, my ancestor, young miss, be quiet. It would be terrible if you were to be heard." Chen Jing never thought that Luo Qiuyun would be so bold. Shock immediately flashed across her face.

When Luo Qiuyun saw her reaction, she couldn't help but feel slightly unhappy. She glanced at Chen Jing and said, "Why are you making such a fuss? It's just an appointment. It's not like you're going up the mountain of blades or down the sea of fire."

"Miss …" Chen Jing, who was being scolded, opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Seeing that she had stopped talking, Luo Qiuyun's anger calmed down a little and she continued, "That's enough. Don't let me feel wronged anymore. I know what to do later. You also said that he is a noble. How could he oppose a small civilian like me?"

"Yes, young mistress. Why don't I call young master Shen over as well? He knows young master Shen, we won't be at a disadvantage then." Chen Jing was still very worried. After thinking for a while, she finally suggested to Luo Qiuyun.

Luo Qiuyun ignored her and directly walked toward the Hongfu Restaurant.

Since Hongfu Restaurant was provided for the cured meat, during this period of time, it had attracted many customers who came back, and now, every day, it was filled with people. When Luo Qiuyun and the others entered, they saw that there were still many people lining up to eat.

"Miss Luo is here? Young Master is also upstairs, please come in. " The shop assistant, who had been waiting at the entrance for a long time, immediately came over to guide Luo Qiuyun and the others the moment he saw them.

Luo Qiuyun followed him up the stairs and into a private room where a man dressed in Chinese was sitting.

"Young Master, Miss Luo is here." The waiter called out, inviting Luo Qiuyun in before excusing himself.

"Please take a seat." When Luo Qiuyun approached, the well-dressed man said in a gentle tone.

"You are the owner of Hongfu Restaurant?" Luo Qiuyun went straight to the point.

"Yes."

"You want the recipe for the cured meat in my hand?" Luo Qiuyun waited for his answer before asking again.

"That's right. May I know how much you are offering?"

"May I ask how much you are willing to pay?" Luo Qiuyun did not show any signs of weakness as she asked back with a tone that was neither humble nor haughty.

The young master smiled. He was not annoyed when he saw Luo Qiuyun kicking the ball back to him. On the contrary, he rather admired her. A girl who could produce such delicious food like meat had a different personality from other people.

"Thirty percent profit, the most." The young master continued.

Luo Qiuyun replied: "Deal, but I only offer prescriptions, nothing else."

"Alright."

"Then may I ask young master to prepare some ink and paper. After you sign the contract, I will hand over the secret recipe." Luo Qiuyun received a response from the other party, so she struck the iron while it was hot.

"Alright, please wait a moment miss. I will send someone to fetch it right away." As he spoke, he gently clapped his hands and saw someone coming in with a brush, ink, and paper.

"Young master, everything is ready." The man put down the brush, ink and paper. He then looked at the young master who was waving at him and backed out of the room.

Luo Qiuyun silently watched as they interacted. She waited for them to leave before Young Master Hua Yi picked up the pen and wrote down the contract. After that, he signed his name and took out a seal to seal it in red before handing it to Luo Qiuyun.

"Girl, the contract has been prepared. Take a look and see if there is any mistake. if there is no mistake, we can sign it. " As he spoke, he glanced at Luo Qiuyun.

"Alright, please wait a moment." Luo Qiuyun took the contract book and read it carefully a few times. After confirming that there were no mistakes, she picked up the brush and signed her name.

"Happy cooperation." Luo Qiuyun put down the signed contract and said to Young Master Hua Yi.

"Happy cooperation." The young master was stunned for a moment. Then, he understood Luo Qiuyun's meaning and said the same thing.

After that, he told Luo Qiuyun, "I plan to open branches all over the country to specialize in stewed meat. I wonder when Miss Luo will be able to give me the secret recipe for stewed meat?"

"I'll write to you now. Just a moment." Luo Qiuyun could tell that the other party was very anxious and didn't intend to keep him in suspense. She immediately took out a brush and ink and started writing on the side.

Very quickly, Luo Qiuyun wrote down the process of preparing the stewed meat, and also wrote down the details that she needed to pay attention to in small characters. Only then did she put down the brush.

"Young master, please look!" Luo Qiuyun said as she showed the paper to the other party.

The young master took the paper and read it carefully. Finally, he nodded in satisfaction, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Luo Qiuyun shook her head and continued, "I'm fighting with the little people. I can only earn a little bit of money under the protection of young master Zhou. I should be grateful to the young master."

"Miss Luo, you're too courteous. If you have any other good fortune in the future, don't forget that I'm Qi. I definitely won't let you suffer a loss." The young master cupped his hands and bowed.

Luo Qiuyun bowed in return, saying, "Many thanks for Young Master's love."

After saying that, he did not make any promises on the spot, and the young master did not care either. He treated Luo Qiuyun and the other two to a meal in accordance to etiquette, and then the two of them politely took their leave.

Leaving the Hongfu Restaurant, Chen Jing who had been silent all this time finally dared to speak, "Miss, that Young Master Liu is too much. Previously, Manager Liu gave us 70% of the commission, but now, he turned it over for us the moment he arrived.

Chen Jing was upset. Seeing her like this, Luo Qiuyun smiled faintly and asked, "Chen Jing, do you really think we lost today?"

"Yes."

Luo Qiuyun shook her head, and said: "Perhaps right now you will feel that thirty percent is not worth it, but after Qi Family opens a shop in every corner of the country to buy cured meat, the accumulated wealth will definitely not be able to compare with the income of a restaurant on the seventh floor!"

"Moreover, we only need to hand over the secret recipe, we don't need to care about anything else. This is a huge advantage!" Seeing Chen Jing lower her head in thought, Luo Qiuyun continued, "Today, Young Master Qi gave us such generous conditions because of the Shen Family. If it weren't for Shen San, this would not have been so simple!"

With that, Chen Jing finally figured out what was going on behind Luo Qiuyun, but her heart felt a little heavy. She lowered her head and said dejectedly, "Miss, it's really hard to understand the affairs of rich people. I won't speak carelessly again."

Luo Qiuyun chuckled and said no more.
