Yang Dingchu carried the meat out after he went in.

"They don't want it?"

Wild boar meat was cheaper than ordinary meat, and the taste was also better than what was raised at home. It was impossible for restaurants to not want it.

"They say our meat isn't fresh. Forget it, don't let us take it back and eat it ourselves. If we can't finish it, we can make it into a cured meat."

In order to make herself look good in front of Mrs. Bai, she had lost more than eight taels of silver.

"You stay here and watch. I'll go."

"No, let's go home."

How could he let her suffer any more after he had already eaten his last?

"Wait for me here. I'll be out in a moment."

Bai Xiao was too lazy to take the meat and ran inside empty-handed.

After entering, Bai Xiao walked straight to the counter, "I want to see your shopkeeper."

"I'm the shopkeeper. What business do you have with me?"

The shopkeeper's attitude wasn't very good. He had already noticed earlier that this woman was with the man that just came in.

Bai Xiao's gaze swept across the table. Because of the lack of ingredients, the style of the dishes were only those few.

"I'm here to do business with you."

"I've already told your husband that your meat isn't fresh, so we don't want it."

"No, no, no. I'm not doing business with you. I have a menu that I want to sell to you."

The shopkeeper ridiculed: "You? Even though our Fragrant Restaurant is not a big restaurant, but the kitchen chef's master's cooking skills are nothing to talk about.

"Whether or not it can be compared is not something that can be said with words. One has to see true martial arts before deciding."

"That's right, then I'll have to ask this lady to come to the kitchen to show off her culinary skills."

This period was a little farther than the Ming Dynasty, which was about the same as the Song Dynasty. There weren't many vegetables that could be eaten.

Bai Xiao walked over the stage that was filled with fresh vegetables and finally chose the simplest cold mixed with three shreds of shredded meat.

Cyan, radish, lettuce.

He chose a few seasonings that he needed to use and set them aside for future use.

After washing hands, wash, slice and cut the vegetables.

The knife skills surprised the chefs at the side.

Bai Xiao who had entered the Realm of Self-Actualization only had eyes for her food.

In her previous life, besides researching medicinal herbs and medical techniques, what she loved to eat the most was eating. She usually liked to cook some delicious food to comfort herself.

With five thousand years of China's spiritual culture, he would be at the level of a chef if he were to casually launch an attack.

During this period, the dishes were mostly light and not spicy. There was nothing to do with spiciness in the kitchen.

Fortunately, she still had a few dogwood in her bag, so she chopped them up and put them on the mixed tripe.

Green and white, paired with the little red spot of the dogwood, it seemed to have an appetite.

"Manager, come and try it."

The shopkeeper was unwilling to give it a try, since the ingredients Bai Xiao used were the most ordinary ones, hence she pushed the chef at the side.

Chef did not think too much, the layman watched the commotion, while the layman watched the flow.

Just based on Bai Xiao's knife skills alone, he was impressed.

He picked up three pieces of silk and placed them in his mouth. It was sour, sour, and sweet. He happened to have a piece of dogwood in his mouth. For someone who had never eaten spicy food before, he could accept such a small amount of spicy food.

It just so happened to be this spicy that added quite a bit of color to the dish.

"Great, it's too delicious."

The chef picked up another pair of chopsticks and said, "It's sour, sweet, salty and spicy. It's refreshing and delicious. Not bad."

"Is it really that delicious?" The restaurant owner was eager to give it a try. From the look of the chef, it seemed that the chef was really tasty.

Bai Xiao pushed the three strands of silk to the shopkeeper, "Won't you know whether it tastes good or not after eating it?"

The manager picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, then his eyes immediately opened wide.

"Hiss, water, give me water."

The storekeeper suddenly took a gulp of water to calm himself down. "Although it's spicy, it's very spicy and enjoyable."

"How is it with the head chef?"

The shopkeeper changed his contemptuous attitude from before. "Although it's just a cold dish, you can see from here that your culinary skills are extraordinary, Madam."

"Then is the owner of the menu going to buy this dish or not?"

The head storekeeper looked at the head chef, but the head chef shook his head.

"If the chef had watched me cook it just now, he would have tried to cook it. The taste was the same as mine, so I wouldn't charge any fees. If not, the shopkeeper would have to give me 15 silver taels at the very least."

"So many?" The chef said in disbelief.

His monthly wages were only one tael of silver. One had to know that he was the pillar of this restaurant. The little chefs behind him only earned four to five hundred taels of silver a month.

The chef said, "Let me try."

Bai Xiao didn't mind at all as she gestured to the chef to let him have her seat.

The chef followed Bai Xiao's actions just now and prepared everything she needed, including cutting and mixing vegetables.

It didn't take long for the process to be completed.

Finally, the chef looked at Bai Xiao with hesitation.

"Madam, can you give me a few fruits from the red fruit in your hand?"

"Sure." Although the dogwood was the most important thing, she did not hide it and gave the chef two pieces of dogwood.

Bai Xiao's actions of not hiding anything made the shopkeeper blush. Originally, he did the same thing as how the head chef learned to eat this dish, but he shamelessly refused to give her the silver.

However, the other party had given them the most important ingredients without any hesitation. With such a comparison, it was clear that he was being petty.

The chef's Three Threads dish was done, the owner tasted it, although it was the same, with the same ingredients, the taste made by the chef was still not as good as Bai Xiao's.

"Madam, we bought the recipe from Fragrant Storey, but what about the red fruit?"

"That's dogwood. I can provide it for you if you need it."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he understood. After buying the menu, he also wanted to buy the dogwood from her.

"Madam, can you guarantee that you won't sell this recipe to anyone else?"

"Don't worry, I, Bai Xiao, have always been a man of my word. Since I have sold it to you and even signed a contract, I will definitely not sell it to a second family."

With Bai Xiao's promise, the shopkeeper finally had someone deliver the silver.

Bai Xiao took the money from selling the recipe, and took out a small bag of dogwood from her bag, "Today, I only brought this much, so let's consider these as our first cooperation gift."

The shopkeeper took the dogwood helplessly. This young lady might look young, but she was a capable businessman.

"Oh, right. My husband's wild boar meat …"

"I bought it, okay?"

Bai Xiao nodded her head in satisfaction and left the kitchen.

Yang Dingchu was waiting outside anxiously. If Bai Xiao did not come out soon, he would barge in.

Seeing Bai Xiao coming out, she immediately went to welcome him, "Xiao, they didn't do anything to you, right?"

"I'm fine. By the way, where's the pork? Let the shopkeeper go over there and tell us that we can go back once we've settled the bill. "

"How did they agree to buy meat?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "You've found a formidable wife."

Yang Dingchu looked at the shopkeeper and then looked at Bai Xiao.

"I'll tell you later on the road, I'll weigh the meat first."

The small piece of pork was exactly one hundred catties, and it was the best piece on the lower half of the body. The shopkeeper had just gotten Bai Xiao's dogwood for free, so the meat was priced at thirty-five gold per catty according to the prices of the meat that was raised by the family.

A hundred catties of pork was worth a total of thirty-five hundred gold coins, which was three to five hundred gold coins.

In addition to the 15 taels of silver she had just sold the menu for, she earned another 18 taels of silver and 500 taels of silver in Fragrant Storey.

Bai Xiao who was carrying the beautiful money waved to the shopkeeper, and got on the unicycle to urge Yang Dingchu to hurry back home.
