Chapter 168: Clear the Land

Master Yang picked up a pair of chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish from the tail.

He chewed slowly and almost jumped up in excitement. He clapped his hands and said loudly, “It’s delicious! The taste is fresh, the meat is tender and fragrant, and the sauce! The sauce is rich and delicious. I’ve been cooking for decades, but I’ve never had such delicious food. ”

Lin Yuelan thought to herself, ‘The people of this era haven’t invented seasonings like soy sauce, so of course, the food here is comparatively tasteless.

‘This fish has ginger slices, a sugar shell, and the world’s first soy sauce. It’s going to taste amazing.’

Even before the dish was served, Liu Qi was already highly interested when the dish was being cooked. The fragrance was too alluring.

Lin Yuelan’s dish was ready to be served. However, before they returned to the private room, Lin Yuelan requested Master Yang to make another braised fish. Master Yang expertly copied Lin Yuelan’s cooking methods, but he didn’t have the secret soy sauce.

In terms of color, his braised fish was not as beautiful as Lin Yuelan’s dish. As for the taste, Master Yang realized that his dish lacked a kind of fresh saltiness in his fish.

Then, the two dishes were served for comparison. In the private room, the guests started with Lin Yuelan’s braised fish. The fish looked beautiful and smelled amazing.

After eating Lin Yuelan’s dish, everyone was still hungry for more, and they tried Master Yang’s dish next. There was a clear difference in taste.

The specialty of braised carp was the saltiness and freshness of the sauce. Without soy sauce, the freshness of the fish couldn’t be brought out, and the taste was thus lacking.

Lin Yuelan wiped the corner of her lips and smiled at Liu Qi. “Young master Liu, what do you think?” She was asking about their trade offer.

After listening to Master Yang’s evaluation and tasting the two dishes himself, Liu Qi evaluated the value of this dish in his heart.

He said, “Miss Lin, I can agree to your cooperation plan. However,” He was worried about one thing, “Can you supply us with the seasoning for the long term? Also, how many fish recipes can you provide?”

He was in the kitchen when Lin Yuelan cooked the fish. The recipe and cooking method was okay, but the most important thing was the secret seasoning Lin Yuelan had.

Lin Yuelan blinked her bright eyes and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, young master Liu. I can provide this seasoning for a long time. And I can provide more than just fish recipes. I will create a new dish every once in a while. Of course, I want a profit share for all the recipes I provide.”

Lin Yuelan’s goal was simple. She wanted money.

The corners of Zhou Wencai and Liu Qi’s lips twitched.

Only then did they realize how big of a money-grubber Lin Yuelan was. From her shamelessness to grab a free meal to this trading of recipes, her only goal was money, money, money.

Based on the market projection, it was indeed more profitable for Lin Yuelan to opt for profit share rather than selling Liu Qi the recipes.

Liu Qi thought for a while and said, “Okay, I agree with your trade plan! However, miss Lin, you have to promise that you won’t leak the recipe and cooking method to anyone else in the future!”

He was worried that Lin Yuelan would sell these recipes to other restaurants in the same way. Then, the whole trade would be pointless.

Lin Yuelan could rake in a lot of gold, but Liu Qi would suffer a huge loss.

Lin Yuelan smiled and said, “Since I’ve decided to work with you, of course, I won’t choose to work with other restaurants. But,” Lin Yuelan’s tone changed. “But this will only work for three years.”

Liu Qi was taken aback. He frowned slightly and stared at Lin Yuelan with his sharp eyes. He asked in confusion, “Only three years?”

What was the meaning of this?

Lin Yuelan replied, “Yes!”

Zhou Wencai and Liu Qi were surprised again. “What do you mean?”
