【Chapter 12】Selling sky-high prices

Yu Feng didn't expect Yu Wan to bring him to the Jade Building.

"What are you doing here?" Yu Feng asked tensely. They were dressed in shabby clothes, carrying wooden barrels and shoulder poles. They were really eye-catching and funny in the restaurant where they were dressed in a luxurious manner.

Yu Wan thought to herself that this is the reaction that a person with a strong spirit in his 18 or 19 years old should have. But she is young, but she is not a real little girl.

Yu Wan looked at Yu Feng with the look of looking at the child and smiled comfortingly: "Of course it's a meal."

Yu Feng gasped: "This is not a place to eat!"

At least... it's not the place for them to eat.

"Let's go eat noodles, braised pork noodles!"

In the past, he couldn't bear to buy a steamed bun, so he was very luxurious to Yu Wan when he could propose to eat braised pork noodles.

Yu Wan seemed to have not listened to him and sat down at the corner of the table.

She likes quietness, and this has never changed in her past and present life.

Yu Feng was anxious: "Why are you..."

Halfway through the conversation, the waiter came over lazyly and asked angrily: "Do you two want to have a meal?"

Yu Wan poured the broken silver from her purse on the table: "Is this enough for us to eat?"

The waiter was stunned. Is such a poor farmer really here to make money?

His eyes rolled and he smiled: "Enough enough! Of course enough! What do you two want to eat?"

"What do you want to eat?" Yu Wan asked with a slightly bent lips.

Yu Feng lowered his voice and said, "Don't mess around!"

Yu Wan smiled: "If you don't know what to eat, then I'll do it. I like to eat braised pork."

The waiter smiled and said, "Then you are in the right place! We have a sour bamboo shoots and braised pork in our home, which uses the sour bamboo shoots passed down from our ancestors, and we can't eat them outside! There is also salt-baked chicken, which is also our Liu Yuchu's specialty dish!"

"Okay." Yu Wan nodded in a row and asked Xiaoer a few signature dishes from Jade Building, "Please all of them."

"Are you going to give me a dead end?" Yu Feng asked coldly.

Yu Wan was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly: "If it were the eldest brother's slaughtered rice, I would definitely make it myself."

Yu Feng somehow thought of the black braised pork, and his body shook again...

A table of dishes was quickly presented. Yu Feng really didn't understand what this girl was going to do, but she earned the money. He just put some effort into it. Even if she spent all of it, what could he say?

Sure enough, it was wrong to count on this girl.

Yu Feng was a little savory and didn't know how to eat.

Yu Wan ate very carefully and tasted every dish carefully, but she did not indulge in her appetite. After tasting all of it, she put down her chopsticks.

"Are you full?" After saying that, Yu Feng felt that he shouldn't have asked such concerns, and then said with a stern face, "Can you go home now?"

Yu Wan shook her head and smiled: "There is still Bai Yulou that hasn't eaten, brother."

"You..." Yu Feng stood up in anger, "If you just want to pull me to eat, drink and have fun, I don't have that interest!"

After saying that, he walked away!

"Don't you want to make that twenty taels of silver?"

Yu Wan spoke softly.

Yu Feng paused, turned his head and looked at her in surprise.

She smiled faintly: "If you want to, you will eat these dishes."

"You can get money after eating...?"

"Yes, you can get money by eating."

Yu Feng has already done too many ridiculous things with her these days, and it is not bad for this thing now. Moreover, when he is here, he doesn't care if he goes to the yamen with hunger or eats enough.

Yu Feng sat back lightly and ate the table of good dishes with Yu Wan. Yu Wan didn't eat much, most of them were put into his stomach.

Afterwards, the two went to Baiyulou and ordered the same dish.

After tasting one by one, Yu Wan put down her chopsticks: "How does my brother think it taste?"

Yu Feng pondered for a moment and said seriously: "It's indeed not as good as Jade Building."

Yu Wan pointed to the dish on the table: "The skin of the salt-baked chicken is not crisp enough, and the taste of the clear soup is a bit astringent."

"That's right." Yu Feng nodded, a little surprised that she had commented so professionally and meticulously, as if she had eaten these dishes countless times...

"What do you think is the reason?" Yu Wan interrupted Yu Feng's thoughts.

Yu Feng subconsciously said: "What else can it be? Even the imperial chef in the Jade Building was invited..."

Yu Wan said: "Does my brother think that an imperial chef can finish all the dishes of all the guests of Jade Building? Do you believe it or not? None of the dishes we just ate was done by the imperial chef?"

The imperial chef is just a gimmick. People come back to their hometown in glory to enjoy their fortunes, not to be a coolie. An older person has to cook hundreds of dishes every day, but it is not enough for people to live. If a distinguished guest really comes, he will naturally show off his skills, but where do they, the ordinary people, have the blessings?

"What's more, do you think the dishes cooked at home also have this astringent taste?"

She didn't say that Yu Feng didn't think so. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was true. However, he was used to eating it since he was a child and didn't hate this taste.

"Then why do you think it's the reason?" Yu Feng asked, his tone eased a lot this time.

Yu Wan held her chin with one hand and smiled softly: "I thought Miss Bai was a fool, but I blamed her wrongly. Everyone thought the problem was with the chef, and she was the only one who found the real key. I want to meet this Miss Bai."

...

"Who do you think you want to see me?" Miss Bai, who had just returned from the salt shop, handed the cloak to the maid behind her and said coldly.

The shopkeeper said, "A guest said that the lady knew her, but I didn't look like... Miss Jinzhi Yuye, how could she know a village girl? Could she be a liar?"

Bai Tang smiled sarcastically: "I am a liar, but I will know it! I will not kill her!"

Half a quarter of an hour later, the shopkeeper took the Yu brother and sister to the account room on the second floor.

The Bai family runs a restaurant, and Bai Tang meets not a hundred or dozens of people every day. Even ordinary people don’t remember it in their eyes, but she actually recognized the inconspicuous village girl in front of her at first glance.

"It's you?"

Bai Tang was surprised.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he felt a little relieved and he had seen it.

Yu Wan smiled slightly: "Miss Bai has a good memory. My surname is Yu, and this is my eldest brother."

Yu Feng nodded politely.

Bai Tang didn't look at him at all, but said coldly to Yu Wan: "Don't just rush to make friends with me because I said something to you. I'm not someone like you who can reach it!"

Yu Feng's face turned cold.

Yu Wan was not annoyed, but instead smiled appropriately: "It just so happened that I don't have the time to get along with Miss Bai. I feel relieved if Miss Bai said this."

"You..." Bai Tang choked.

Yu Wan said again: "I'm here to make a deal with Miss Bai."

Bai Tang looked her up and down and mocked, "What do you have to do with me? Vegetables? Fish?"

This is when I saw the basket and the bamboo shoots in the wooden barrel and the fish scales.

Yu Wan said: "Salt is a better salt than Jade Building."

Bai Tang's face changed.

Yu Feng glanced at Yu Wan in a strange way. Where did the salt come from in their house? No, how could he say that their house? It was hers! He was not from her family!

The shopkeeper slapped the table and shouted: "Bold! Where did the private salt dealer come from? Miss, private salt dealer is a serious crime! He wants to be jailed!"

Bai Tang frowned.

Yu Wan shook her head. Miss Bai is not young, but she is also confused as a shopkeeper. Putting aside whether they have the courage to do the banned thing, she just asks which salt dealer in the world would live as depressed as they did?

Yu Wan looked at Bai Tang and said, "Miss Bai, please rest assured, I am not a salt dealer, I just have a way to turn your affordable salt into real high-quality salt."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Bai Tang looked at her for a moment, as if she was telling the truth about the falsehood of her words.

Yu Wan said: "Of course, I'm not doing it in vain. I need to charge Miss Bai a certain amount of remuneration."

Bai Tang narrowed his eyes: "How much do you want?"

This seemed to be heartbroken.

"Miss!" The shopkeeper spoke out and obstructed.

Bai Tang raised his hand and stopped the shopkeeper.

"The first business is too much to collect..." Yu Wan murmured.

Yu Feng's heart was in his throat, afraid that she would not pay the debt if she shouted low, so she was about to bite the bullet and say "Fifteen taels", when he heard Yu Wan sigh softly: "Then it's fifty taels."
