Oh my god, I became the vicious stepmother of four villains

"Thank you, Lord Qingtian, for helping me get justice."

Xia Dawei's eyes were red and he kowtowed to the ground several times to express his gratitude.

"Court adjourned." Lord Wu stroked his beard, narrowed his eyes slightly, and shouted majestically. The bailiffs left one after another, and the onlookers dispersed when they saw that there was nothing exciting to watch.

Xia Yingying and Bai Qingmiao walked up to Xia Dawei and helped him up.

"Yingying, did you help me with what happened today?"

Xia Dawei stood up, but because he was injured, he grimaced in pain every time he moved.

Xia Yingying was uncertain and shook her head.

"The county magistrate has a pair of eyes that can distinguish right from wrong.

It was the county magistrate who did not believe Xia Xinsen's one-sided words and cleared your name. It is a blessing for Qingshui County to have an honest official like County Magistrate Wu."

Xia Yingying explained to Xia Dawei and praised Lord Wu at the same time.

"Yingying, should we give the county magistrate some gifts to express our gratitude?" Bai Qingmiao asked uncertainly after hearing Xia Yingying's words.

"Sister-in-law, County Magistrate Wu is honest and upright. We can give him gifts to express our gratitude, but we can't give him expensive gifts. If someone finds out, it will damage his reputation."

"That's what you said." Bai Qingmiao said.

Bai Qingmiao was thinking carefully about what gift would be appropriate.

Because Xia Dawei was a man with a rather strong build, it was somewhat difficult for Bai Qingmiao and Xia Yingying to support him. Seeing this, Zhao Wen hurried forward and helped Xia Dawei out of the county government office.

Bai Qingmiao and Xia Yingying walked in a row, with Lu Haojie and Lu Haoran following behind.

Xia Xinsen was quite ruthless. Even a young and strong man like Xia Dawei had his back covered in blood.

Xia Yingying was also worried that Xia Dawei might have hurt his bones or something, so it would be better for him to go to the hospital for a check-up to avoid any difficult-to-heal sequelae in the future.

"Brother, you were beaten pretty badly by Xia Xinsen. Go with Brother Zhao Wen to the clinic to have a look. My sister-in-law and I have something to discuss."

Seeing that Xia Dawei was still injured, Xia Yingying asked Zhao Wen to take Xia Dawei to the clinic.

The famous clinic in the county is the one where Qin Qingfeng works. Zhao Wen doesn't know any other clinics, so he takes Xia Dawei to the clinic where Qin Qingfeng works.

If Xia Yingying said she had something to say later, it wasn't an excuse, but she really had something to say to Bai Qingmiao.

A few days ago, Xia Yingying had already discussed with Bai Qingmiao and Xia Dawei to give the recipes of the dishes she made last time to Bai Qingmiao's family.

She didn't have time a few days ago, and today because of Xia Xinsen's mischief, she spent the whole morning outside.

It is better to do it today than to wait for a day. I will go to Bai Qingmiao's house now while I am free and copy the prescription to her. If Bai Qingmiao doesn't understand anything, Xia Yingying can teach her later.

"Yingying, do you have anything to tell me?" Bai Qingmiao asked curiously.

"Sister-in-law, this is the recipe you asked for a few days ago. I wonder if you have negotiated the price with my brother." Xia Yingying asked.

"Okay." Bai Qingmiao nodded. The night Xia Yingying returned, they had already decided on the price of the recipe. However, because Xia Dawei and Xia Yingying were siblings, they couldn't take advantage of each other, so they finally settled on a more suitable price in the market.

"Yingying, you know that our family's business is not very good right now. The money for your recipe can only be given to you after we have the money in a while. Don't worry, your eldest brother and I will not cheat and not pay you. I'm really sorry.

We can draft a contract first. The specific price of each recipe is between fifty and one hundred taels of silver, depending on the number of dishes I sell in the store. In addition, I will give you 20% of the profit after making it. Do you think it's okay?"

The pricing of the recipe was agreed upon by Bai Qingmiao and Xia Dawei, and the 20% profit after the profit was proposed by Bai Qingmiao.

In Bai Qingmiao's opinion, the recipes Xia Yingying gave them were a cash cow that made money. Once their restaurant used Xia Yingying's recipes, their business would definitely not be as bleak as it is now.

A few days ago, she used the ingredients that were not in the complete recipe to stir-fry some Chinese cabbage, and it tasted much better than before.

There are even many customers who come to the store and keep ordering that dish.

The semi-finished stir-fried dishes without complete seasonings are already so attractive, she can already imagine how popular those dishes will be after all the seasonings are complete.

By then, you won’t have to worry about not having money to earn.

And he was able to earn so much money because Xia Yingying gave them the recipe.

One should not be ungrateful, but should repay the kindness received. Only in this way can one go far.

Xia Yingying didn't expect Bai Qingmiao would give her so much money. According to Xia Yingying's plan, the price of a prescription would be between fifty and one hundred taels of silver. After all, the prescription was not particularly difficult to complete, and it could be made if studied carefully.

Xia Yingying came up with this recipe by standing on the shoulders of giants. She couldn't be too greedy.

Xia Yingying originally thought that Xia Dawei and Bai Qingmiao might quote a slightly lower price because she was a relative.

She didn't expect the price they quoted was so fair, completely based on the market price.

What Xia Yingying didn't expect was that Bai Qingmiao would actually give her 20% of the profits.

But Xia Yingying couldn't be so greedy, so she said to Bai Qingmiao:

"Sister-in-law, the price of the recipe will be according to what you said, but I can't take the 20% profit of your store. You have already bought the recipe, so you can't pay a penny more.

I know you are doing this for my own good, but I am not the kind of person who can't do anything without a job. I have a store now and can make money. You can keep the money you earn, but please don't give me the second layer of silver. If you do, it will be too polite of you. "

"Yingying, listen to me, I didn't give you this 20% of the money for nothing. If you come up with any new dishes in the future, can you sell me the recipe?

I'm not afraid that you will sell the recipe to others.

Although we have these dishes of yours to improve our store's reputation, if we keep making these dishes, we'll get tired of them. So I'm thinking that when you come up with a new dish, I won't pay you for the recipe, but just treat it as a share of your technology. What do you think?"

Bai Qingmiao went straight to the point and explained her future plans.

"Sister-in-law, isn't it too early to talk about the recipe for the next dish?

Besides, I’m not sure I can come up with other dishes.

How about this, I will tell you when I come up with a new dish, and then you can decide whether to put that dish in your restaurant. I will give you the 20% of the money after you decide on the new dish?"

"Yingying, you don't know yet, do you? After I cooked your dishes with an incomplete recipe these days, the business in my store has improved a lot, so I gave you 20% of the money out of my own selfishness and for peace of mind."

Bai Qingmiao did not hide anything and told Xia Yingying everything that was in her mind clearly.

Xia Yingying pursed her lips and said to Bai Qingmiao.

"Sister-in-law, let's put it this way. Add my future recipes to the deed and I'll become a shareholder in your store. That way you can feel at ease."

"Yingying, I...I didn't mean that." Bai Qingmiao was dumbfounded. Afraid that Xia Yingying would think too much, he explained immediately.

"Sister-in-law, I know. I'll give you the 20% of the silver after I research the recipe. You can pay me back. Otherwise, I won't feel comfortable taking it."

I don’t know what to do, but it’s not appropriate to take the second layer of money from other people’s profits.

Seeing Xia Yingying was so stubborn, Bai Qingmiao knew that it was meaningless to continue pestering her, so he nodded and agreed.

"Okay." "Please vote"
