Since it’s almost Christmas, so I take a leave and prepare for vacation.

So, I want to tell you, everyone, I will be off for a week. My translation will be updated again on Wednesday, Dec 27th, 2023. Don’t miss me~~ (๑ ￫ܫ￩)

Merry Christmas, everyone!! And happy holiday!!

PS: I will give you surprise when I’m back! Miss me a lot, okay~~

However, it was one thing to be prepared, but it was another thing for the shopkeeper in front of her to bully her for being young.

Don’t think she did not see it. Almost all the guests sitting in the lobby ordered her kimchi and fermented bean curd. Now that the business of Juxiangzhai was so good and the table turnover rate was so high, how could it be possible that the share of this half month was even less than before?

“The kimchi recipe had been cracked. I can only give you twenty taels of silver. But for the fermented bean curd, I can give you a hundred taels.”

The shopkeeper of Juxiangzhai said with squinted eyes. The little girl in front of him was quite shrewd, but he valued the other party’s whimsical ideas in cooking, so the price he gave was quite realistic.

These days, the Xu family had earned nearly a hundred taels of silver from these two recipes. These days, ten taels of silver were enough for an ordinary family to live for a year. Two hundred taels was not a small amount.

Xu Baozhu’s eldest brother was trembling with excitement when he heard the shopkeeper’s offer. He could not wait to agree on Xu Baozhu’s behalf.

However, Xu Baozhu was not very satisfied with the price. In her opinion, so many food factories in later generations had made their fortunes by making small things like kimchi sauce. It makes no sense that in ancient times, she could only sell kimchi and fermented bean curd recipes for a few hundred taels.

But obviously, the current situation was that she had to agree even if she did not want to agree. She heard that the person behind Juxiangzhai was the brother-in-law of the prefect.

The principle of people not fighting against officials was common in ancient and modern times. No matter how dissatisfied Xu Baozhu was, she could only nod in agreement.

However, Xu Baozhu held a grudge against the shopkeeper in front of her. She had thought about it. Next time, she tinkered with something good, she would never cooperate with Juxiangzhai. With so many restaurants in Qingyang County, she could not believe that she could not find a conscientious and moral partner.

The shopkeeper did not know what she was thinking, so he smiled and asked the waiter to bring him a hundred and twenty taels of silver notes. Then, he brought a pen and ink paper and asked Xu Baozhu to dictate the recipe.

After writing down the recipe, he asked Xu Baozhu to accompany him to the kitchen and taught the chef how to make kimchi and fermented bean curd according to the recipe. If these two dishes were made and tasted the same as the kimchi and fermented bean curd sent by Xu Baozhu, it meant that she was not lying.

But if the taste was different, then he would naturally let this little girl know that Juxiangzhai, which had a mountain at its back, was not to be messed with.

Xu Dabao happily accepted the banknotes with a face value of one hundred and twenty taels. While Xu Baozhu held her breath, followed the shopkeeper out of the private room, and went to the kitchen to give a demonstration.

As soon as she opened the door, her eyes met Jiang Baozong.

Scumbag!

After coming to this world, Xu Baozhu naturally inquired about the Jiang family and learned about Jiang Baozong’s past.

In Xu Baozhu’s view, Jiang Baozong was a typical scumbag who raised a mistress after becoming famous. She did not believe the rumors that Jiang Baozong was set up in the first place. She believed that Jiang Baozong was a playboy who had an extramarital affair.

Just because the confidentiality work was not done well, the mistress came to show off in front of the main wife. As a result, the main wife was angry to death, and her daughter became a premature baby. Maybe he had not remarried until now just to save his reputation. How sincere could a man who could support his mistress be to his first wife?

Perhaps because she fell in love with Lin Pingchun, in order to make her behavior of robbing someone else’s husband more justifiable, Xu Baozhu did not mind using the most vicious thoughts to speculate on the Jiang family.

Now she had determined that Jiang Baozong was such a scumbag who only sought fame and reputation. Even if Jiang Wu, who was raised by him, was a fool with an unclear mind, she should be a fool with a bad moral character.
