Chapter 139: Scheming Wanwan
??
On the seventh day, Master Qin finally couldn’t take it anymore and found Yu Wan again.
However, he did not have the intention of letting Uncle win against Master Bao. After all, Master Bao was a veritable Master Chef. Even the imperial chef could not defeat him. Uncle’s cooking skills, which he had never studied under a master, were really not enough in front of Master Bao.
Initially, he thought that even without Uncle, the Drunken Immortal Pavilion still had a chance of winning against the Tianxiang Restaurant. Master Qin could only find another way now that there was no chance of winning. For example, he could make five signature dishes that were more authentic than the Tianxiang Restaurant. The storm of the Tianxiang Restaurant’s plagiarism had yet to pass, so this was a good time to ride on the popularity.
However, in this way, the five dishes would probably not be removed from the menu of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.
No matter how unwilling Master Qin was, he had to continue stir-frying the leftovers from the Tianxiang Restaurant. This was not something Master Qin was happy to see, but under the circumstances, he had no choice.
This time, Master Qin didn’t trick Yu Wan anymore and told her everything sincerely.
Yu Wan did not expect to see such shameless methods to gain popularity in ancient times. If Master Qin was born in the modern world, he would be an ace manager.
“Miss Yu, what do you think?” Master Qin didn’t ask for Uncle and Yu Feng’s opinion anymore. He understood that the person who was really in charge was this little girl in front of him. In the past, he had underestimated her and felt that she could make the decision all because her family doted on her. Now, it seemed that she was even more cunning than him at such a young age!
“Since I’m so honest, Miss Yu, don’t beat around the bush with me. What conditions do you want? Name a price.”
How could Master Qin not tell that she wasn’t really uninterested in the competition? It was just that in this matter, they were competing to see who could keep their cool. In the end, he lost. He was willing to bet and admit defeat. It was this little girl’s turn to demand an exorbitant price.

Yu Wan gestured with her fingers. “I want three shares of profits from the Capital’s Drunken Immortal Pavilion.”
Master Qin sucked in a cold breath. There were thirteen shares for one restaurant, and the owner had ten shares. The remaining three shares belonged to the shopkeeper and his partner’s shares. He couldn’t touch the shopkeeper and his partners’ shares’ profits. Where would he get these three shares? Naturally, they were from his pockets.
Moreover, what did this little girl say? The Capital’s Drunken Immortal Pavilion? In other words, he had to give her three shares of profits even if he opened a branch in the Capital?
“Miss Yu, you’re going overboard.” Master Qin stopped smiling.

Yu Wan smiled and said, “Master Qin, it’s not certain that the Drunken Immortal Pavilion can make a profit in the Capital. It might not even make a single cent. Now, you’re only making eighty to ninety percent of the profits and giving me thirty percent of it. In fact, you’ve made a profit.”
That was true, but who would be willing to take out the money in their pockets? “What if we lose money?” Master Qin asked.
“It’s yours,” Yu Wan said.
Master Qin almost choked to death!
After a long while, Master Qin calmed down. “Little girl, I can give you three shares of profits, but I have two conditions. First, you have to make those five signature dishes in the competition. They have to be better than the Tianxiang Restaurant.”
“What about the second?” Yu Wan asked calmly.
Master Qin smiled and said, “You have to win against Tianxiang Restaurant. If you lose, not only will you not get a single share of the profits, but the price of the stinky tofu will be decreased by half.”
“Ah Wan!” Yu Feng couldn’t help but call out.
Before he could refuse, Yu Wan said, “Alright, it’s a deal.”
Master Qin left in satisfaction.?The little girl was still too inexperienced. How could they win? The only one who won is me, Master Qin.
“Good, very good!” Master Qin boarded the carriage with a glowing face.
“What’s wrong, Master?” The coachman asked curiously.
Master Qin said proudly, “I originally only planned to let Yu Kaiyang make five signature dishes in the competition. That way, the entire Capital will know that those five dishes belong to my Drunken Immortal Pavilion. But now, the price of stinky tofu will be reduced by half.”
The carriage left Lotus Flower Village.
Yu Feng said resentfully, “Ah Wan, how can you agree to his conditions? Do you know who Master Chef Bao is? He’s Madam Du’s master! Even the imperial chefs in the palace have learned from him! How can my father defeat him?”
Yu Wan said, “Uncle has competed with him?”

“What about him?” Yu Wan looked at Yu Feng.
Yu Feng had also heard the news and was not too sure. “He went to look for his long-lost son. My father went to look for you, so they didn’t have the chance to compete.”
“Why is his son missing too?” Yu Wan asked.
Yu Feng frowned. “It’s said that they were separated when he was born. He hasn’t been able to find him for decades. He suddenly received news before the competition, and he abandoned the Tianxiang Restaurant and went there. The Tianxiang Restaurant almost lost.”
“Oh.” Yu Wan was not interested in Chef Bao’s family matters. After all, he was not her grandfather, right?
Yu Wan blinked. “Since Uncle has never sparred with him, how do you know that the person who will win will be him and not Uncle? Big Brother, don’t overestimate others and ruin your own prestige.”
“That’s right! Kid, don’t overestimate others and ruin your own prestige!” Uncle held his walking stick and entered the central room arrogantly. “Isn’t he just an old man? Do you think I’m afraid of him?”
Yu Feng was scolded by his father again and his face darkened.
Yu Wan smiled and went to help her aunt.
Without Yu Wan in the central room, Uncle suddenly reached out to his son. “Help me up.”
Yu Feng went forward to support him. “Dad, what’s wrong?”
Uncle’s legs went limp and he said fearfully, “Is Master Chef Bao really coming?”
“…” Yu Feng’s lips twitched. What happened to not being afraid?
