Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The initiative was in someone else’s hands, and Manager Zhou didn’t even have the cards to fight.

Taking advantage of the discussion about the new dish in Huai County, he could launch this new dish in the name of not losing to tofu.

Even Fang Yuan, who could take out a hundred silver for a dish, could be provoked by him. If he was lucky, he might even get a large sum of money from him as well.

Manager Zhou’s eyes darted around, and he already had an idea in his heart. “Sir, please state your price. But before you state your price, I hope that you can agree to a request of mine.”

Zhao Zhan looked up at Manager Zhou, his expression was unreadable. “Please speak, Manager Zhou. ”

Their eyes met, and Manager Zhou said in a deep voice, “I hope that this dish can only be owned by me in the entire Huai County.”

Zhao Zhan muttered to himself for a moment. The room was silent. At first, Manager Zhou’s expression was calm, but later, his heart was in a state of turmoil.

This was a game between two people.

After some time, just as Manager Zhou was about to speak, Zhao Zhan calmly said, “Sure, but this will be equivalent to you buying out the menu. This price has to be calculated separately.”

Manager Zhou’s back was covered in a layer of sweat. He took a deep breath and nodded repeatedly. “Of course.”

He didn’t ask Zhou Zhan to give a range but took the initiative to state the expected price in his mind. “I’ll buy this dish for two hundred silver. As for the powder, we can’t see the raw materials, so you should tell us.”

The most expensive ingredients in the steamed meat noodles were the 13 types of medicinal herbs.

When Zhao Zhan bought them, his heart ached for them. However, when he thought of how he could earn more if he sold them successfully, he suppressed his heartache and bought a lot.

“The rice flour is fifteen silver per five hundred grams. If we steam it according to the amount we made today, five hundred grams of rice flour can be used to steam seven sets of ribs. If we change it to streaky pork slices, we can steam eight or even nine sets.”

The shopkeeper quickly calculated the price in his mind.

In this case, the most expensive part of a plate of steamed pork ribs was not the meat but the noodles. However, thinking about the price of the tofu at the Rising Cloud Inn, Manager Zhou only hesitated for a moment before making up his mind. “I agree to fifteen silver per gram. However, if I buy a lot, can I get a…”

Everyone understood the hint behind it. Zhao Zhan nodded. “If you buy ten catties, I can give you an extra half catty.”

Half a catty was still seven silver and five coins. This was really not a small price.

Manager Zhou immediately took out a silver, picked up a pen and paper, and signed the contract with Zhao Zhan.

“When I can go to your place to get the goods?”

“No need, I’ve already brought it. Do you want to keep all of it or a part of it?”

“I want all of them!”

Manager Zhou was overjoyed. When he thought about how his business would be better in the future and even surpass Kelai Xiang’s, he couldn’t help but laugh heartily.

When he opened another branch, wouldn’t everyone praise him when they heard his name?

Zhao Zhan went to his room to get the basket and handed it to him. Then, he returned to his room with his pouch.

The first time he touched a silver, his legs felt like they were floating.

Yue Jiaojiao watched as he leaned against the door in a daze and laughed out loud. “Are you this happy to hold silver?”

Zhao Zhan revealed a rare silly smile. When he heard Yue Jiaojiao’s voice, he returned to his senses and stuffed the pouch into his hand with a serious expression.

His hands held his sweetheart’s small hands tightly. “Jiaojiao, I’ve earned back the money I used to build the house.”
