Chapter 1692 - 1691: It’s Settled Like That
Duan Tian tasted Qiao Xiaomai’s cooking for the first time and was utterly amazed.
He had long heard about Qiao Xiaomai’s many legendary deeds in Daqi. Previously, he thought the messengers were exaggerating, but now that he had actually tasted Qiao Xiaomai’s creations, he realized the messengers had been far too modest. If he were the one spreading the word, he would have used the most beautiful language in the world to praise Qiao Xiaomai.
He finally understood why Bei Yun had gone through so much trouble to bring Qiao Xiaomai here. She was a walking treasure chest.
Bei Yun alone was worth a thousand troops, and now, with a treasure chest in tow, Duan Tian was confident his endeavor had a nine-out-of-ten chance of success.
In high spirits, Duan Tian readily agreed to Qiao Xiaomai’s requests. Wasn’t it just about making money? Since Qiao Xiaomai enjoyed the thrill of earning wealth, he would happily indulge her.
"Miss Qiao, rest assured, after the meal, I will inform the kings of Longshi Country, Yuchi Country, and Taian Country. If any of them wish to taste your culinary skills, they are welcome to seek you out. Don’t worry, all the ingredients you use will be provided to you free of charge, and all the silver you earn will be yours to keep. How does that sound?"
Qiao Xiaomai’s expression remained indifferent. "Then I’ll trouble you, Master Duan."
"It’s my duty, my duty. Miss Qiao, you are a guest here, and as your host, it’s only right that I take good care of you." Duan Tian waved his hand and smiled warmly. Off to the side, Bei Yun clicked his tongue twice and remarked, "Qiao Xiaomai, you truly are a treasure that everyone loves!"
Hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai felt a chill run down her spine. She rubbed her arms and glared at Bei Yun. "You, buying a jar of Floral Dew for three hundred taels silver—fine—but since Master Duan has offered me such favorable terms, everything he eats from now on will be free."
