First break up the relationship, then get rich, I can choose any handsome man in the world

The water in the pot boiled. Ye Shian picked up the slices of meat beside him and put them into the pot to cook them. Then he dipped them in soy sauce and put them in his mouth.

Well, it’s light, with only the fragrance of meat. Compared with the hotpot nowadays, it’s too light!

Ye Shian didn't want to eat anymore after just one bite. It's not that it wasn't delicious, but she was used to eating the modern hotpot and wasn't used to the light hotpot of ancient times.

She took out the beef hotpot base that she had prepared in advance and put it into the clear soup pot, and the bottom of the pot quickly turned bright red.

The aroma mixed with butter slowly drifted throughout the restaurant, and she took out the sesame paste and placed it in front of herself.

Then she picked up another piece of meat and put it into the boiling pot. When the meat was cooked, she coated it with sesame paste. It tasted so good, and it was so long-lost.

The bubbling hot steam soon attracted the attention of the guests in the lobby, and the owner of the store also noticed her.

It’s not that the shopkeeper’s eyesight is very good. Ye Shian chose the table closest to the counter, so it would be hard for the shopkeeper not to notice.

Seeing that she was eating with curiosity, the shopkeeper could not help but come out. He came to the opposite side of Ye Shian and saluted to him with his fists.

"May I ask what the girl is eating..."

"Spicy hot pot." After saying that, she said to the shopkeeper in a sheepish tone, "I'm really sorry, shopkeeper, I like spicy food, and your pot is really bland, so I took the initiative to put in spicy hot pot base."

"It's all right," said the shopkeeper, his eyes fixed on the copper pot.

The shopkeeper's eyes were so eager that Ye Shian naturally invited him, "If you don't mind, you can sit down and eat with us."

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

The shopkeeper waved to the waiter not far away, and the waiter immediately brought a new set of bowls and chopsticks.

Ye Shian pushed the porcelain bottle of sesame sauce in front of him towards the shopkeeper: "It tastes better with this dipping sauce."

The shopkeeper took a look in front of Ye Shian and saw that the dipping sauce in front of her was indeed different from the usual soy sauce.

After pouring some into a plate, the shopkeeper picked up a piece of meat from the copper pot, and then imitated Ye Shian, rolling the meat slice in sesame sauce and then putting it in his mouth.

The shopkeeper immediately felt a feast for his taste buds he had never experienced before.

"The freshness of the meat, the spiciness of the pot, and the fragrance of the sauce... the combination of these creates a delicious taste. It's really, really wonderful, wonderful..."

The shopkeeper had completely forgotten that there was someone sitting opposite him. He took two bites before realizing that something was wrong. He quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks and apologized again.

"I lost my composure, please forgive me."

Ye Shian certainly didn't mind. The more the shopkeeper praised the hot pot, the happier she was.

"It's okay, boss, please do as you please."

The shopkeeper did not move his chopsticks. He hesitated for a moment and said to Ye Shian, "Miss, you want to eat at this table, right?"

The shopkeeper was worthy of being the shopkeeper. He saw through Ye Shian’s intention at a glance.

Ye Shian nodded: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from the shopkeeper. To be honest, my mother and I fled here from the south. If we didn't have no other choice, we would never take out this ancestral recipe."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up and asked, "How much do you plan to sell this recipe for, young lady?"

Ye Shian shook his head: "I don't sell the recipe."

The shopkeeper didn't understand. She clearly said that she took out the recipe because she was in financial difficulty, so why did she say she didn't want to sell it?

"Girl, what do you mean?"

"Then I'll just say it straight. What I want is a long-term relationship. If the shopkeeper is willing, I can provide hot pot base and dipping sauce for a long time."

This recipe is not a simple one, so the shopkeeper naturally wants to hold it in his own hands.

"Girl, your method is inappropriate. If you are willing to give it up, I am willing to pay a large sum of money to buy this recipe."

Since they couldn't come to an agreement, Ye Shian didn't say anything more. She was worried about Yinzhu looking after the stall alone.

"Since the shopkeeper doesn't want to, forget it."

As he said this, he took out some silver and wanted to pay the bill and leave.

"Wait a minute, girl. If I want to find you in the future, where should I go?"

"The street stall selling pig heads, that's mine."

Selling pig heads?

Ye Shian had only been selling for one day, and the shopkeeper didn't even know there was such a stall.

The shopkeeper gave the waiter a questioning look, and the waiter immediately stepped forward and whispered to the shopkeeper what he knew.

"Yesterday there was a man selling pig's head meat. I heard that the pig's head meat was very popular. The neighbors on the street all said that it tasted great."

The shopkeeper gave the waiter another look, and the waiter, who was also smart, ran out immediately.

This means that the girl in front of him not only has an ancestral recipe for hot pot, but he can't let Ye Shian cooperate with other restaurants.

"What are you going to do next girl?"

Ye Shian pretended not to see the interaction between the two and told them what he was going to do next: "You are not the only restaurant in this county. Since the shopkeeper is unwilling to buy my hot pot base, I will go to another restaurant."

"Wait a minute, girl, wait a minute, girl..."

The shopkeeper blocked Ye Shian's way. There were only a few restaurants in this county, and he didn't want to be outdone by his rivals. "Miss, give me a price. I'll listen to it. If it's suitable, we can seal the deal."

"Really?" Ye Shian was delighted.

The shopkeeper nodded. With his many years of experience in running a restaurant, he would definitely not be wrong. With this hot pot base, their restaurant business would surely be a big hit, and this would be worthy of the kindness shown to him by his boss.

"But you must not sell it to other restaurants."

Originally, Ye Shian planned to cooperate with only one company for the simple reason that her mother Yu Xiuying wanted to open a restaurant. Although she could not help her realize this wish now, she believed that in the near future, she would be able to help her mother realize this dream.

She hadn't decided yet whether to sell hot pot or cook stir-fried dishes. She didn't want to create too many rivals for herself now.

Although I thought so in my heart, I still pretended to be embarrassed.

"This……"

"Girl, have you decided how much money to spend?"

Ye Shian said truthfully: "One hundred and fifty coins per pound. The hot pot base and dipping sauce are both priced at one hundred and fifty coins per pound. Today's dipping sauce is just the original flavor. It will taste better if it is paired with other ingredients."

"I'll give you one hundred and sixty coins, but you can only provide it to our family."

Ye Shian looked embarrassed: "This..."

"It's settled. It's so hot, why don't you stay and rest for a while, girl?"

The shopkeeper made a gesture to Ye Shian, inviting her to sit down and rest for a while.

"Wait a minute..." Ye Shian suddenly stopped the shopkeeper: "In this case, I still need to explain one thing to the shopkeeper."

"Just say it, girl."

"I just said that I had no other choice but to give this recipe to you, so... I want to get some money from the shopkeeper first."

"How much does the girl want?"

"Well, fifty taels. Take this money, and I promise that I will not sell this hot pot base and dipping sauce to other restaurants."

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay, but we have to sign an agreement to ensure that you cannot sell this hot pot to other restaurants."

Ye Shian naturally agreed: "Okay, it's settled."
