Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yu Niaoniao wanted to earn money, but she had never thought of becoming rich overnight.
It was said that there was no free lunch in the world.
This was the situation now. Yu Niaoniao knew very well that her recipe could not be sold for tens of thousands of taels. If she really sold the recipe to one of them for more than ten thousand taels, it would be equivalent to her taking advantage of the other party.
Niaoniao still did not know the background of the blue-robed young master.
However, she knew that Wei Liao was definitely not the kind of person who would let others take advantage of him for nothing.
If she took advantage of him today, he would definitely think of a way to make it up later.
Moreover, if Wei Liao and Young Master Gongsun continued to shout, this matter would only become bigger and bigger.
She had hidden her identity to go out and sell recipes. Her greatest fear was that things would blow up.
Therefore, this matter had to be resolved quickly.
Yu Niaoniao said, “My recipe is only sold for a thousand taels. Wei Liao, I know you’re not interested in the recipe. You’re just bored now. It’s a waste to sell this recipe to you. Why don’t you sell it to someone who really needs it?” Wei Liao was very unhappy.
“How can you say that? I’m doing you a favor by paying for your recipe. If I hadn’t helped you raise the price just now, you would have been cheated by that unscrupulous profiteer for fifty taels.” Yu Niaoniao replied insincerely, “Then thank you!”
Wei Liao was furious. “You’re in trouble!”
The blue-robed young man took out a stack of banknotes. “This is twenty thousand taels. Count it.”
Yu Niaoniao only took away two banknotes worth five hundred taels. “If I say a thousand taels, it’s a thousand taels.”
The blue-robed young man laughed. “Alright, I’ll listen to you. I respect your thoughts.”
This person’s attitude was not bad. Yu Niaoniao had a good impression of him.
“I can sell you the recipe, but I have another condition.”
The blue-shirted young man said, “Tell me.”
Yu Niaoniao said, “I want to take a look at the restaurant you run.”
This person appeared too suddenly, and as soon as he appeared, he raised the price of the recipe to a terrifying number.
This made her a little suspicious of his background.
The blue-robed young man was stunned for a moment before agreeing readily.
“Alright, please follow me.”
Yu Niaoniao asked Ling Hai to follow with the donkey.
On the second floor of the restaurant, Wei Liao sneered as he watched the three of them leave.
“How dare you snatch business from me? You’re really tired of living!”
The Sky Wolf Guard standing at the side stepped forward and asked, “Do you want me to follow after that kid and teach him a lesson?”
Wei Liao’s eyes turned cold. “Go and see where that kid comes from.”
“Yes!”
Yu Niaoniao followed the blue-robed young man to a restaurant called “Qian Shanxue”.
Not only did this restaurant have an elegant name, but the interior was also decorated very elegantly. It was obvious that the owner of this place was a very tasteful person.
The blue-robed young man invited Yu Niaoniao into the private room for tea. Yu Niaoniao said, “I didn’t know there was such an elegant restaurant here.” The blue-robed young man poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of her.
“My restaurant has just opened not long ago. It’s indeed not famous.”
“As I’m sure you can see, business here is not good. This is because our dishes are too ordinary and featureless.”
“Your recipe book can resolve our urgent needs. This can be considered our fate.
Since there was no problem with the other party’s identity, Yu Niaoniao did not think too much about it. She took out the recipe and placed it in front of him.
“This is the recipe. Look at the contents first. If you don’t think this recipe is worth a thousand taels, I can refund you the money.”
The blue-shirted young man wiped his hands with a handkerchief before picking up the recipe and reading it carefully.
He looked impressed.
“I don’t cook much. However, looking at the records inside, I could guess that the dishes cooked according to it must be delicious.”
“I was lucky today and picked up a treasure. This thousand taels was worth it!”
Yu Niaoniao smiled. “That’s good.”
The blue-shirted young man was in a good mood. “If you have such a recipe to sell in the future, you must prioritize me. Don’t worry about the price. It will definitely satisfy you.”
Yu Niaoniao naturally agreed.
After discussing business, Yu Niaoniao stood up and bade farewell.
The blue-shirted young man walked her to the door.
After they were gone, the blue-robed young man turned around and returned to the restaurant.
He returned to the private room.
At this moment, there was another person in the originally empty private room. It was Xiao Juan, who was wearing a black robe.
The blue-robed young man handed over the recipe with both hands and said respectfully, “Your Highness, this is the recipe sold by the Princess Consort.
I’ve already bought it according to your request.”
Xiao Juan reached out to take the recipe and gently stroked the cover with his well-defined fingers.
This was a personally written recipe. There was only one in the world. How could he let it fall into the hands of others?
The blue-robed young man said, “Fortunately, I arrived in time. Otherwise, this recipe would have been bought by Wei Liao.”
Xiao Juan said calmly, “Don’t bother about him.”
He knew that Wei Liao had unspeakable thoughts about Niaoniao, but Niaoniao had no thoughts about Wei Liao. Wei Liao was just making his presence known. The best way was to ignore that guy and let him suffer alone.
Although he was reluctant, Xiao Juan still handed the recipe to the blue-robed young master.
“Take it and copy it. Since you promised to use this recipe to develop a new dish, you have to do what you say so that you won’t be exposed in the future.”
The blue-robed young man understood. “I’ll return the original to you immediately after I’m done copying.”
“Yeah. ”
A moment later, Xiao Juan left Qian Shanxue and rode to the Justice Department.
The Sky Wolf Guard hiding not far away saw this scene.
He rushed back to the restaurant and reported what he had seen to Wei Liao.
“I originally wanted to bring a few brothers to Qian Shanxue to cause trouble. I had to teach that kid surnamed Gongsun a lesson.”
“I did not expect to see Duke Lang appear.”
“When it comes to Duke Lang, I don’t dare to act rashly. I can only come back and ask you for instructions.”
Wei Liao placed his wine glass on the table. His tone was disdainful as he said, “I was wondering why that Gongsun kid happened to appear at this time. So it was arranged by Duke Lang. Isn’t it just a recipe? Does he have to go through so much trouble?”
The Sky Wolf Guards suggested, “Should we tell the Princess Consort about this? That way, Duke Langs plan will be exposed.”
Wei Liao kicked him and scolded angrily, “You’re really stupid! If Yu Niaoniao finds out the truth, not only will she not blame Duke Lang, but she might even be touched by this. What will I become then? Will I become their matchmaker?”
The Sky Wolf Guard did not dare to cry out in pain after being kicked. He reminded him softly.
“You’re a man. A man can’t be a matchmaker. He can only be a cupid.”
Wei Liao was speechless.
His eyes were fierce. “Say that again.”
The Sky Wolf Guard shrank back in fear and did not dare to speak again. He shrank pitifully into a corner.
Wei Liao gritted his teeth and stood up.
“Let’s go to the Justice Department!”
The Sky Wolf Guard asked carefully, “Why are we going to the Justice Department?”
Wei Liao said, “Don’t you want to know the identity of that charred corpse? I’ll investigate now.”
—At the same time, he would stir some trouble for Xiao Juan and Yu Niaoniao..
