Chapter 566: 566 The third brother’s antidote is expensive by 2

“I set the price considering Jin Xun’s status.” she said, “Manager Duan wants to compete with Jin Xun, so naturally a higher price is acceptable. Even if he doesn’t buy it, I won’t lose anything.”

Xiao Yishan’s eyes flashed with doubt, “Yue’er, did Jin Xun also ask you to buy the recipe for braised pig’s large intestine? Is it possible that he might offer a higher price?”

Before Qingyue could answer, Xiao Qinghe spoke, “Second Brother, you’re overthinking it. Boss Jin didn’t even mention the recipe for braised pig’s large intestine. It’s Qingyue’s first time selling it in the market, and Jin probably doesn’t even know about it.”

Su Qingyue followed up, “Even if he knows, he basically won’t buy it.”

All three men looked puzzled.

She explained, “Drunken Immortal Pavilion has a reputation as the world’s number one building, with branches in many cities and towns and countless excellent chefs. They didn’t even bother to ask about my stir-fried fern recipe and would rather let their chefs take their time to develop it. As for the braised pig’s large intestine recipe, they’d definitely prefer to develop it themselves. After all, it’s not a big challenge for Drunken Immortal Pavilion, only a matter of time. Besides, their dishes are very expensive and unaffordable for average people, mainly targeting high-income customers. They wouldn’t have bothered to sell fried fern if it hadn’t become popular in Se.” She smiled and continued, “Braised pig’s large intestine is offal, which is considered lowly in the eyes of some noble people. I dare say that, just because of the pig’s offal, Jin Xun wouldn’t buy the recipe. Of course, when I tricked the boss of Rich Source Tavern, I whispered it privately. He wouldn’t know that Jin Xun wouldn’t bid against him.”

“Wife…” Xiao Yuchuan pointed to his chin, his eyes shining brightly, “Your analysis is so thorough.”

Admiration appeared in the eyes of both Xiao Yishan and Xiao Qinghe.

Xiao Yishan asked, “Yue’er, what did Jin Xun want you to do at Jin Residence?”

“Oh, I caught a thief in town earlier. The thief took several moneybags, including Boss Jin’s. I returned the moneybags to their owners but I couldn’t find Boss Jin. There were many people around, so I reported my name and the owner of the moneybag could claim it at any time.” She said casually, “Boss Jin then sent a servant to invite me to his mansion.”

When it came to this matter, she was so angry that all her internal organs ached.

Five thousand silver notes were in her hands and then just flew away…

Her eyes filled with tears, she had nowhere to vent her pain.

All she could do was swallow the blood and tears from her broken teeth.

“So that’s what happened.” Xiao Yishan looked at her uneasily, “Yue’er, don’t be so impulsive in the future. You’re a woman, don’t catch thieves. In case you get injured, it would be bad.”

“I might not even bother with such a matter.” She said helplessly, “It just so happened that the damn thief stole my moneybag.”

“Yes, wife.” Xiao Yuchuan also looked worried,” It’s fine if your moneybag was stolen, but it’s not wise for a woman to fight with a thief. In case you get injured or something happens, how could I go on living?”

“Alright, alright.” She waved her hand, “It’s all in the past, let’s not talk about it anymore.”

Xiao Qinghe noticed that his wife reported every expense in great detail, but did not mention the eighty taels of silver in cash…converted from the osmanthus cakes she got from Jin Residence.

He figured that his wife probably wanted to save some private money.

As she should.
