CHAPTER 171: CHAPTER 171: DEAL STRUCK

Too busy to mention, isn’t this excuse a bit random?

In a place like a restaurant, having a good recipe should be actively reported, right?

Moreover, the master chef just enjoyed the benefits of the braised pork recipe.

Gu Nian guessed that the master chef hesitated to mention it because, like the braised pork, he had his own calculations in mind.

Dahu wasn’t dumb either; he could vaguely guess his master’s intentions.

At the same time, after seeing Zheng Shaochen and Gu Nian together, he also roughly guessed why Gu Nian came to ask him.

Pulling Gu Nian aside, Dahu said, "Little sister, if you want to directly discuss the smoked sausage with the Young Master, that’s fine. I’ll talk to the master about it."

The braised pork case was something he agreed to. No matter what, he wouldn’t say anything about it, but the credit for the smoked sausage the master still wanted to take—that was a bit too much.

Without the smoked sausage, having just the recipe won’t make the dish. The master is delaying, trying to force me to suggest selling him the smoked sausage method.

Too bad he made a mistake this time.

Little sister said that she wants to sell smoked sausages from home this time, aiming for a long-term business, not just selling the recipe.

"That’s fine." Gu Nian looked at Dahu, thought for a moment, and said with concern, "Big brother, our family isn’t the same as before. We don’t have to endure anyone’s bullying. If things don’t go well here, just come home. Our family doesn’t lack other means."

"Alright." Dahu smiled warmly, "I’ll remember what little sister said, but the master isn’t a bad person, just a bit greedy. Besides, I have the braised pork leverage in my hands; he can’t bully me."

Dahu noticed the time was getting late and said, "You should hurry back to accompany mom for dinner. I’ve got a lot to do in the kitchen; let’s talk more when I’m home on leave."

"Okay, big brother, go get busy." With that, Gu Nian went back.

Returning to the private room, Gu Nian didn’t fuss around and directly brought up the smoked sausage matter.

Unsurprisingly, Zheng Shaochen showed interest.

The master chef had been eyeing the smoked sausage recipe, so he didn’t use up all the smoked sausages Dahu brought. As soon as Gu Nian mentioned it and Zheng Shaochen spoke, he had no choice but to serve the remaining ones.

In this world, food is inherently simple, and there aren’t many cooking methods. After tasting, Zheng Shaochen thought the flavor was quite good.

However, he didn’t agree outright to Gu Nian’s proposal for cooperation but said, "I can make decisions about the smoked sausage, but my silver doesn’t come from the wind. How about this, you first send a batch of smoked sausages to try selling at the restaurant. If business is good, we’ll buy in bulk. Qinglin Restaurant isn’t just the one in Qingshan Town. Gu Nian, you truly have a talent for cooking; if you can provide good recipes and make the smoked sausage delicious, I guarantee your family will earn a big profit just from this one item..."

Zheng Shaochen spoke simply, but Gu Nian was still hesitating, "Zheng, you really don’t need to discuss it with the shopkeeper or your family?"

Mainly, Gu Nian was worried he couldn’t actually make the decision.

After all, Zheng Shaochen was only twelve years old, too young to be practical, saying he could decide was hard to believe.

At this moment, Gu Nian forgot that she herself was only in a six-year-old body.

Zheng Shaochen sensed Gu Nian’s disbelief in her tone, immediately getting flustered.
