Chapter 518: Selling Recipes

Little Ling Hai asked a question from the depths of his soul.

“Are you sure? I want the Princess Consort’s mount.”

The coachman answered truthfully, “That’s right. This is the Princess Consort’s mount. ”

With that, he took Gray out of the horse shed and stuffed the reins into Ling

Hail s hand.

Ling Hai looked at the donkey in front of him.

The donkey looked back at him.

The boy and donkey stared at each other.

In the end, Ling Hai compromised and resigned himself to fate. He led the donkey out.

Forget it, forget it. Wasnt it just a donkey?

As long as the Princess Consort was willing, it did not matter if she rode a

HIM HEif:

Ling Hai realized that he was walking in place.

He turned and saw the donkey standing still.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t pull it.

In the end, the coachman couldn’t stand it anymore and took the initiative to remind him.

“Gray doesn’t go with strangers. You can’t take it with brute force.”

Ling Hai wiped his sweat. As expected of the Langjun Imperial Palace. Even the donkey they raised was so loyal.

He asked humbly, “Then what should I do?”

The groom was experienced. “It’s simple. Just get him something to eat.”

With that, he pointed at the bamboo basket containing the white radishes beside him.

Ling Hai took out a white radish from the basket and handed it to Gray.

Gray unceremoniously opened his mouth and bit the radish, eating it with a crunch.

In the blink of an eye, it finished a big radish.

Even the way it looked at Ling Hai became much kinder.

This time, when Ling Hai took it away, it did not resist anymore.

He led it out smoothly.

Ling Hai was speechless.

He had thought that this was a loyal donkey to its master. He did not expect its loyalty to be equivalent to the value of a big white radish.

He didn’t know if he should feel sorry for the big white radish or for its owner.

Yu Niaoniao stood at the entrance of the Langjun Imperial Palace and waited.

When she saw Ling Hai bring the donkey over, she immediately turned around and rode it.

“Let’s go.” Ling Hai was stunned. “Are you taking me out with you?”

“That’s right!”

Yu Niaoniao planned to go out to discuss business. She was afraid that she would not be able to handle the scene alone, so she planned to bring Ling Hai along.

Ling Hai was pleasantly surprised. The Princess Consort finally had a use for him!

On the city street, Ling Hai walked slowly with the donkey. Yu Niaoniao rode on the donkey’s back.

Her head turned this way and that, looking around for the right target.

They walked for a long time.

Ling Hai could not help but ask.

“Princess Consort, what are you looking for?”

Yu Niaoniao hurriedly instructed, “Don’t call me Princess Consort outside. My identity has to be kept a secret.”

Ling Hai immediately corrected himself. “I understand, Master.”

Yu Niaoniao wanted to say that he could just call her Madam, but she was afraid that others would ask who her husband was. At that time, she would have to fabricate a fake husband identity to fool others. It would be troublesome.

Hence, she tacitly agreed to Ling Hai’s address.

“I want to find a restaurant.”

Ling Hai asked, “Aren’t there restaurants everywhere nearby?”

Yu Niaoniao said, “These restaurants are too small. I’m looking for the kind of very imposing restaurants that are obviously super rich.”

Ling Hai did not understand. “I see.”

He glanced around from the corner of his eye and suddenly pointed at a restaurant in front of him.

“That restaurant looks quite rich.”

Yu Niaoniao looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a resplendent restaurant in front. It was estimated to have three floors. Exquisite palace lights hung on each floor. There was a lot of traffic in front of the door. It was obvious that they were not short of money.

Yu Niaoniao clapped her hands. “That’s it!”

In order to avoid being exposed later, she had to talk to Ling Hai first.

“Remember, we’re businessmen now.

‘I’m going to talk business with someone, and you’re my attendant.’

“Watch my expression later. Whether or not the business is successful in the end, we can’t expose our true identities.”

If others found out that they were from the Langjun Imperial Palace, no one would dare to do business with her. Ling Hai nodded seriously. “I’ll remember.”

They stopped in front of the wine house.

When the clerk at the door saw them, he immediately went up to them and spoke politely.

“I’m sorry, but we’re already full. Do you want to come back tonight?”

Yu Niaoniao said, “I’m not here to eat. I’m here to discuss business with your boss. ”

“Go tell your boss that I have a recipe book passed down from my ancestors.”

“It documents many secret recipes that were unknown to outsiders. I’m sure your boss will be interested.”

The clerk looked her up and down. Seeing that she was dressed appropriately, he guessed that her family was not short of money. Seeing that she was confident and did not look like she was lying, he decided to believe her for once.

“Wait a moment. I’ll call the shopkeeper over to talk to you.”

With that, he turned around and ran into the restaurant. Soon, he called over a middle-aged man. It seemed that he was the shopkeeper of this restaurant.

He looked at Yu Niaoniao suspiciously.

“You really have an ancestral recipe book?”

“Of course it’s true. Look if you don’t believe me.”

Yu Niaoniao took out the recipe and casually flipped open a page for him to see.

The shopkeeper had run the restaurant for many years. Although he did not personally cook, he was quite knowledgeable about culinary skills.

As soon as he saw the recipe, he knew that the taste of these dishes was definitely not bad.

Most importantly, these were dishes he had never seen before. If he could really make it, it would definitely become one of their specialties.

The shopkeeper’s thoughts immediately became active.

He immediately made up his mind to buy this recipe. However, as a businessman, he naturally had to bargain, especially when he saw the young lady in front of him. She must be the eldest daughter of some family. In order to supplement her lover, she took out her ancestral recipe book to exchange for money.

It was not like he had not seen such a thing before.

Such an ignorant young lady was the easiest to fool.

The shopkeeper pretended not to be very interested.

“The last thing we lack here is recipes. Your recipe doesn’t look like much. If it were our boss, he definitely wouldn’t buy it. I’m a kind person and don’t want you to come all the way for nothing. How about this? I’ll pay fifty taels of silver for your recipe.”

Yu Niaoniao frowned. “Fifty taels is too little.”

The shopkeeper looked reluctant.

“I’ll give you another twenty taels at most. This is already a very high price.

“You don’t know, do you? The recipes outside are only sold for ten or twenty taels at most. Don’t be too greedy.”

Before Yu Niaoniao could speak, a smiling voice came from above her head.

“I’ll pay five hundred taels for this recipe!”

Yu Niaoniao looked up and saw Wei Liao leaning against the railing on the second floor of the restaurant.

He was holding a wine pot in his hand and smiling with his flirtatious eyes.

“You want to buy someone else’s recipe for a mere seventy taels of silver?

Dream on!”

The shopkeeper flushed. He wanted to argue, but he didn’t dare.

He had wanted to bargain and take the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. He did not expect someone to throw a wrench in the works.

He held his breath and asked, “Young Master Wei, you don’t do restaurant business. Why are you buying this recipe?”

Wei Liao said lazily, “I have money. What can you do if I buy it and burn it for fun?”

The shopkeeper was angry again..
