Mind reading, taking the rental house through the whole village crying

Chapter 193 Testing with Money

Kong Yuanbao was extremely excited.

His sunburned cheeks turned even redder.

He patted his thigh and continued, "My food business may be on the rise again, thanks to Tongmu. However, the recipe is so private that I can't use it without permission. So, I came to ask you if you can sell me the recipe?"

Jiang Fubao was sitting in the shade and was stunned by what he heard.

Does her second brother have this ability?

She remembered clearly the recipe she told grandma.

They also innovated and used it on fish.

But it’s okay to tell the Kong family.

Her family doesn't run a restaurant or a bodega.

Besides, she thought Uncle Kong was a nice person.

At least he knew to come and ask, and didn't come empty-handed.

He is a man of courtesy.

"Well, what's the big deal? It's just a recipe. If you want to use it, use it. Even if my grandson doesn't tell you, I will tell you if you ask me yourself. These are all new ways of eating that I came up with myself, and I don't plan to sell them.

Look at you, there's no need to give money, just use it directly, and take all these things away later, you are too polite, Mingxue is a child I like very much, there is no need for our two families to be so formal, just come and play often in the future, it just so happens that my grandson has no playmates in school, and I am afraid he will be lonely."

Zhang Jinlan breathed a sigh of relief.

She even thought that her grandson had told Manager Kong how to cook the food they sold in their shop.

It turns out it’s just a cooking recipe.

Then it'll be fine.

"No, no, no, I have to buy it. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease using it. So, I'll give you a hundred taels as payment for the recipe. Don't think the money is too little. I know your business is booming and you're not short of money. This is just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."

He was prepared to sell a dish of sweet and sour carp for one tael of silver.

Although carp is cheap, the seasoning is expensive. All in all, he can only make a little more than half an ounce from a dish of sweet and sour fish.

One hundred taels of silver is neither more nor less.

Just right.

If they gave him too much, he would feel burdened, and the Jiang family didn’t dare to accept it.

Not enough.

It's a bit insulting.

"One hundred taels? That's too much. No need, no need. You really don't have to pay. It's just a recipe. How can I ask you for one hundred taels? Just take it back."

Zhang Jinlan swallowed.

In fact, she really wanted it.

But she was also afraid that the two families would become estranged. What if Manager Kong thought she was greedy?

It was not easy for my grandson to make good friends.

In the end, the two of them pushed the issue back and forth.

Kong Yuanbao finally put the banknotes back into his pocket.

"Oh, why don't you give it to me? This is one hundred taels, a full one hundred taels, enough to buy so much food for my family. I might as well accept it. Oh, my heart hurts so much, oh, oh."

After Kong Yuanbao left.

Zhang Jinlan slumped in her chair.

He covered his chest and wailed.

Jiang Fubao was speechless.

Grandma, are you being too concerned about your reputation?

She thought grandma really didn't want it.

really.

Grandma still loves money as much as before, and has never changed.

"Mom, look, there is a bag of silver next to the melon!"

Just when Zhang Jinlan was regretting, Sun Pingmei suddenly shouted.

She was so greedy.

After Kong Yuanbao left, he quietly squatted aside and opened the gifts.

There were three packages, one of which contained various kinds of pastries, including peach blossom pastries, osmanthus pastries, almond pastries, lotus leaf pastries, etc.

It looks very expensive.

The second package contained two boxes of tea.

The color is uniform, it smells extremely fragrant, and there are no broken leaves at all.

You can tell at first glance that this is this year's new tea, and it is top-quality tea.

The third bag was filled with various fruits, including melons, peaches, and sour apricots. It was a whole big bag and very heavy.

And the bag of silver was placed in the middle of the melon.

It should have been stuffed in there before Kong Yuanbao came.

Opened by Sun Pingmei.

The glittering silver almost blinded her eyes.

Zhang Jinlan’s heart suddenly stopped hurting.

She jumped up from her chair and rushed to the package.

He picked up the silver and began to count it.

Ten taels per ingot.

A total of ten ingots of silver.

Exactly one hundred taels.

"So, this shopkeeper Kong was just teasing me."

Zhang Jinlan's expression was somewhat complicated.

Jiang Fubao, however, thought Kong Yuanbao was too smart.

He probably expected that grandma would not accept the banknotes, so he put the silver in the package in advance and hid it. Even if grandma did not accept it, he would give it to her. He would feel at ease when using the prescription, and he could also judge the personalities of his family members and decide how the two families would get along in the future.

If grandma accepts it.

Then he won’t lose out.

It's just that I don't dare to make close friends.

I'm afraid he's just testing his own family.

No wonder the family is so rich.

Businessmen are really smart.

Jiang Fubao analyzed it in his mind.

Zhang Jinlan didn't care what he thought, as long as she had the money.

Her old face smiled like a chrysanthemum.

"This is one hundred taels. Hahaha, Tongmu is really great. He made so much money for our family just by talking. But we also have to thank our Fubao. Without Fubao, how could Tongmu know this recipe? Fubao, let's buy some pork and some incense today to show our filial piety to the immortals."

Zhang Jinlan suggested.

Jiang Fubao did not refuse. She told this lie in the first place.

You have to put on enough drama.

When they returned home in the evening, the Jiang family was not in a hurry to eat.

Instead, he placed a table in the main room and made it look like an altar.

After the pork is cooked, it is divided into two portions, one for dinner and the other placed in the middle of the altar.

There were also fruits and cakes on both sides, all served on plates.

"Thank you for taking care of my granddaughter and bringing so many good things to our family. These are just a few bites of food, not a token of respect, but a token of filial piety to you. Please don't despise them..."

Zhang Jinlan and Jiang Shoujia stood together, lit a stick of incense, bowed in all directions, and kowtowed to the altar.

Jiang Fubao is no exception.

However, she worshipped the original owner.

I don’t know whether the wronged souls can have another life.

If someone makes offerings, there will be merit.

It is a blessing for the original owner. I hope he can be reborn into a good family in the next life.

She lit the incense, kowtowed, and silently prayed for the original owner in her heart.

Then he stood up.

"Don't move the altar. Wait until the immortals enjoy it tonight, and then we can eat it tomorrow." Zhang Jinlan reminded them several times, fearing that the children would get too greedy and snatch the food from the immortals.

"Okay, let's all go to the yard to eat. It's very hot and stuffy in the main room."

After saying that, they left the main room.

The dining table that was originally placed in the main room had been moved out long ago.

The adults were eating around the table.

Because it's full, it's not only crowded but also very hot.

So the kids sat off to the side and made their own table.

It’s called a table, but it’s just a chair for adults to sit on.

The dishes placed on top are also small portions that Zhang Jinlan picked out from each plate.

Perfect replica of all the meals on the big table.

Qian Xile is now able to get out of bed.

In the past few days, because she couldn't move around and the food became better, she gained several pounds, and when she lowered her head even a little, she had a double chin.

She learned that her husband's family had beaten her brother and sister-in-law.

Qian Xile was so touched.

The haze in my heart disappeared.

From now on, her family will only be named Jiang.

at the same time.

In a house in town.

A couple was arguing.
