Chapter 517: 517 tricked out business 2

Lowering her voice, “You want me to ask everyone whether they agree that Manager Duan begged me for the stir-fried fern recipe, and now that you’ve made a profit, Drunken Immortal Pavilion’s chef has found a way to remove the astringency from ferns, and Manager Duan reneges on our agreement. Should I ask everyone if you’re a dishonest merchant? Should I ask if you’re too merciless?”

“Ai! You…” Upon hearing this, Manager Duan’s face darkened, “Don’t spout nonsense.”

“I’m speaking about the well-known facts in town.” She squinted her eyes, “You’d better not mess with me.”

“Fine, I’m scared of you.” Manager Duan waved his hand. Originally, because the Drunken Immortal Pavilion started selling stir-fried fern today, many customers went there instead, causing a decline in his restaurant’s business. He felt unhappy and intended to give Su Qingyue a hard time, but he never expected that this woman’s tongue could be so sharp; she was like a little ancestor whom he couldn’t afford to offend.

Su Qingyue picked up the carrying pole and was about to leave, but the sharp-nosed Manager Duan asked, “What’s that fragrant-smelling thing in your basket?”

“Pig offal.”

“You’re lying. It clearly smells like delicious meat…” Manager Duan obviously didn’t believe her, “How could it be that stinky offal?”

Qingyue chatted with him, actually seeking for business opportunities. She put down the basket and directly scooped a small portion of braised pig’s large intestine onto a tree leaf and handed it to him, “Try it.”

Manager Duan looked at the color of the dish and couldn’t help but salivate. As soon as he took a bite, his eyebrows shot up in delight. However, as a businessman, his brain started churning immediately. Pig offal was really cheap, and it was a meat dish; its profit margin was far greater than stir-fried fern. Even though it was extremely delicious, he just casually commented, “The taste is decent.”

“Just decent?” She stared at him, wondering how long he could keep up the act, “Then make way. I still need to sell some offal.”

“It’s delicious, very delicious.” Manager Duan quickly said, “Boss Su, can I have a word with you…”

“Oh, now you’re calling me Boss Su. Not bad, not bad!” Su Qingyue laughed, knowing there was a deal to discuss. So, she said to Xiao Qinghe, “Fourth brother, hold on a moment.”

He nodded.

She was about to follow Manager Duan into the backyard when a young man dressed as a servant hurried over, panting, and said to Su Qingyue, “Are you Miss Su Qingyue?”

She replied suspiciously, “That’s me.”

“I am Attendant Aji from the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, serving Boss Jin.” Aji said respectfully, “Our Boss Jin invites you to come to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.”

An idea struck Su Qingyue. Although she didn’t know Jin Xun, Jin Xun was the mastermind behind the Drunken Immortal Pavilion and had a reputation in town. No matter what this man with the surname Jin wanted her for, his attendant’s timing was perfect!

She said calmly to Aji, “Wait a moment.”

Then she pulled Manager Duan aside and smoothly lied, “Manager Duan, you want to buy the recipe for preparing pig offal, right? Look, Big Boss Jin has also made an appointment with me to discuss the same matter. The Drunken Immortal Pavilion is the world’s number one building, with branches all over the country. Although your restaurant is a big one in this town, when it comes to making an offer, the Drunken Immortal Pavilion’s boss is definitely more generous. I’ll go first…”

Manager Duan quickly grabbed her, “Wait a moment…”

She waved off his hand, “Manager Duan, there are gender restrictions!”

The middle-aged Manager Duan immediately let go of her hand, “I’m just in a hurry. Alright. Sell me the prescription for cooking pig offal; name your price.”

She slowly held up three fingers.

“Thirty taels?” He widened his eyes, “So expensive…”
