Although Liu Tai was reluctant to give up, he also knew that getting married was a big deal, and he definitely couldn't take care of the store, so he said, "Congratulations, Brother Du."

Tao Xiude was stunned for a moment, and when he heard Liu Tai's words, he quickly cupped his hands in congratulations, but he still said reluctantly: "Then how long will it take for you to get married! Can I still eat the meals you cooked before I leave? I'm so sorry!"

Du Qingchen scratched his head and seemed very shy, "It's hard to tell. After all, we country people often don't work so hard to make money. I might rest at home for a while and tidy up the house. To tell you the truth , My family has only built two wooden houses, and I am thinking of adding a green brick house in the future, and now I am married to my husband, so there are many things to do!"

In short, I am very busy, super busy, so I have nothing to do with the Chen family's affairs, and I don't even know about the jade pendant.

As for asking others to do it, who should I invite?Du Qingchen didn't have many friends, and he didn't even know anyone in the county, and he was a deadly enemy with Su Junxia on the surface. No one would doubt that he and Su Junxia were friends in private, and he could direct Su Junxia's actions, let him It is impossible to guess who it is anyway.

Even if he doubts, without any evidence to support it, he still can't forcefully put the jade pendant on his forehead!

Tao Xiude understood, it meant that before he left, he might never eat Du Qingchen's food again, and this was the last meal!Looking at the food in front of him, Tao Xiude felt that his appetite had lost a bit.

After thinking for a while, Tao Xiude raised his head, thought of a way, and said seriously: "Boss Du, can you teach my cook a few of your spicy dishes?"

Du Qingchen raised his eyebrows and understood instantly, but he still pretended to be dazed and looked at him.

Tao Xiude quickly waved his hand, "I don't want you to teach me for nothing, I understand the business of buying and selling recipes, and I will pay you, so you can teach him, how about it?"

"This..." Du Qingchen frowned, as if hesitating.

When Tao Xiude met, he knew that things could be discussed, and the only thing that could be discussed was the price. As long as the price was given, Du Qingchen would naturally sell the prescription. Tao Xiude thought sadly, but he didn't know how Du Qingchen's head grew Yes, he is also a cook, and he also has pepper in his hand. His cook can only chop up and throw in any dish, but Du Qingchen can research so many tricks in a very short time. The food is so delicious!As a result, he may have to spend a lot of money to buy the recipe of pepper for cooking from Du Qingchen, and the pepper is obviously his!

But in front of Liu Tai, and if he wants to deal with the Chen family in the future, he might be able to use this person, and this is not a provincial capital, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so it is not easy for Tao Xiude to use his power to suppress others , had to pay honestly.

Du Qingchen finally nodded, "Okay... Mr. Tao, if you want a recipe, I can sell it, but I want to ask, do you plan to use this recipe to open a restaurant in the future?"

"Why do you ask that?" Tao Xiude was actually thinking. After returning to the provincial capital, he would teach the recipe to the chef of the restaurant below his house. The official family has no property in their hands. Tao's family still has several restaurants!

"Well, if you just eat for yourself and don't plan to teach the chefs in the restaurant to make money, then I will charge you less money. After all, you are only one person, and it will not affect my business in the future, but if you I want to use this recipe to make money in the future... Mr. Tao, this recipe is actually quite valuable, and you have seized the opportunity. It may affect me in the future, of course! Mr. Tao, I’m straight, don’t mind, If there's any offense..."

"No offense, no offense, what you said is reasonable, we can't be unreasonable, I can't buy your prescription at a low price, and then go back to open a restaurant to do business, it's not good."

Du Qingchen nodded, looking anxious and humble.

Tao Xiude suddenly found this man who pretended to be humble a bit displeased, but there was nothing he could do about it, after all he was right, Tao Xiude had a vague feeling that he might be slaughtered.

"You make a price!" Tao Xiude still gritted his teeth.

"One dish costs 50 taels of silver." Du Qingchen said gently.

It really kills people!Even Tao Xiude, who came from such a wealthy family, was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while.

Du Qingchen immediately laughed and said: "That's the original price! Mr. Tao is kind, humorous, but upright and knowledgeable. I appreciate it very much. Besides, Mr. Tao is the son of Mrs. Liu's friend, let alone his father. It’s still the parent officer of our Han County, I admire it in my heart, thinking that if I don’t take money, I will give it to the son Fang Zi.”

Tao Xiude narrowed his eyes and remained silent, waiting for Du Qingchen to finish speaking.

"But if you don't charge money, you will look down on Mr. Tao! This is not good, it is worse than this, Mr. Tao, 25 taels of silver for a dish is also my heart for Mr. Tao." Du Qingchen nodded slightly.

Heh, I have to thank you for co-authoring!

Tao Xiude took a deep breath, and it was not easy to put on an arrogant posture of an official's son in front of Liu Tai, so he smiled and said, "Is this price a bit expensive?"

"Is it expensive?" Du Qingchen said blankly: "When I was in urgent need of money, I went to a restaurant in the town and sold a recipe for fruit cakes from the mountains. The pastry that I’ve seen here is a specialty of ours, and the pastry that tastes good is actually not a specialty of our place, it’s just a pastry recipe, which I sold not long ago.”

Tao Xiude was stunned for a moment, it was not the first time that Du Qingchen sold a prescription together, how did this man's head grow!Why are there so many recipes for good dishes and pastries in my mind? !

"Because that recipe is just a pastry, and the steps are simple, the profit is relatively low. It is not as good as a hard dish, and the price in the town is already lower, so it only sold for 15 taels of silver." Du Qingchen nodded humbly, "Mr. Tao, if You think 25 taels is too expensive, how about you quote me a price? Let me hear it?"

This means that no matter what, it must exceed 15 taels? !

Tao Xiude narrowed his eyes, "Forget it, 25 taels is 25 taels! I think it's worth it, but I have to buy a lot of recipes, so it feels a bit expensive to add them all together. In fact, the recipes for each dish are 25 taels. , it's still possible."

Du Qingchen smiled, "That's right! Mr. Tao, the price is definitely not expensive, and I dare not cheat anyone! Unless I don't want to mess around anymore."

Tao Xiude nodded, and discussed with Du Qingchen which dishes to buy, and roughly set five dishes, mapo tofu, boiled fish, hot and sour potato shreds, dry pot potatoes and spicy chicken.And Tao Xiude paid Du Qingchen 120 and five taels of silver, and Du Qingchen even wiped off a fraction, a total of 120 taels.

It was more than 100 taels, even Tao Xiude felt distressed for a while, the food was not delicious, so he asked the servant to call the cook, and Du Qingchen went to the kitchen to study, while Tao Xiude and Liu Tai ate outside. I ate until the food was cold, and the people in the kitchen hadn't come out yet.

Tao Xiude simply didn't wait, anyway, the money has already been given, he'd better go back to the inn, and take care of the money by the way, now he only hopes that this prescription will be popular in the provincial capital, so that he can earn the money back as soon as possible, but he wants to Thinking about it, everyone likes this kind of recipe, and it will definitely earn back doubled, Tao Xiude feels much better in his heart.

In the inn, Xiao Er brought tea and talked to the servants who stayed behind, and then went in one by one to change tea in the room. The servants who were in charge of staying behind didn't care, and continued to guard in the corridor, looking at the door of a corridor, because, this The first floor was covered by them, and it was all their houses.

When Tao Xiude came back, it was evening again, and it was already dark. Seeing him coming back, the servant immediately went to the stairway and shouted to Xiao Er, who was busy in the lobby, "Light up the lamp for our young master and get some hot water. Come over with hot food."

"Okay, wait a moment." Xiaoer quickly responded.

Tao Xiude's complexion was not very good, he looked tired and aggrieved, he couldn't tell what his expression was.

"There's no need for hot food. I've eaten it. By the way, how is the investigation of the Chen family going today? Did you find anything useful?" Tao Xiude asked with a cold face and lowered his voice.

The reason why he has stayed until now and has been trying to postpone his departure is that he was ordered by his father to be friends with Liu Tai and invited him to live in his home in the future. In fact, being friends with Liu Tai is only [-]% Factors, and the remaining [-]% are all to stay and search for something that can uproot the Chen family.

The Chen family is an affiliated family of Kong Feizhou, the political enemy of the Tao family. These years, they have been sending money to Kong Feizhou in a steady stream to support Kong Feizhou. If the Chen family can be removed, Kong Feizhou's arm can be broken!It's rare to come to the old lair of the Chen family. There must be something here that can destroy the Chen family!How could he just leave like this willingly!

The servant lowered his head, "The servant is incompetent. I visited the Chen family several times at night, but failed to find any important evidence. However, today we have found some things, but we are not sure yet."

"What?" Tao Xiude pushed the door open and entered the room.

"The Chen family seems to be in the human population business. Although they did not abduct and sell children from surrounding villages, they transported many children from other places and hid them in the name of buying domestic servants. However, what they bought was too Too often..."

"Evidence! I want evidence!"

"I'm afraid that the secret room where the children are hidden can only be discovered if the Chen family is raided. This servant is incompetent and has not been found. Tonight, the servant is willing to visit the Chen family again! We must find evidence!" The servant knelt down.

Tao Xiude raised his hand and patted the table, the things on the table trembled slightly, "What is this?"

"My lord, be careful, let me come!" The servant immediately stepped forward, carefully opened the paper through the clothes and fabrics, and saw a jade pendant and a piece of rag inside, and on the paper wrapped them was written crookedly ' Baigou' two words.

Tao Xiude waved his hand and signaled the servants to back off. It didn't look like it was poisoned, but more like a messenger. Tao Xiude just pinched the jade pendant to look at it, and the next moment, his eyes narrowed, "Meng! The identity jade pendant of the family's children! Why is it here?!"
