Chapter 592 Lady He’s Roast Duck(8)_1
For this reason, Cai Wei had the shop assistant summon the shopkeeper, so that she could discuss this matter with him.
Upon hearing that Cai Wei wanted someone to learn the roast duck technique from his restaurant, the shopkeeper instantly shook his head like a drum being struck, and repeatedly said, "Impossible!"
"Miss, to tell you the truth, the technique of roasting a duck is a family heirloom passed down to us. It’s a secret recipe of the He’s family that isn’t shared with outsiders!"
Cai Wei smiled, took out five pieces of gold from her purse, placed them on the table, and said: "Lady He’s family clan is not just you alone, and there are not just one Lady He’s roast duck shop, if you are not willing to share, then I will take these fifty taels of gold to look for others, to see if there are members of the He family who are willing to take these fifty taels of gold!"
In the Great Jin Nation, one tael of gold is equivalent to ten taels of silver, so fifty taels of gold is equivalent to five hundred taels of silver.
Five hundred taels of silver, in a place like Qing County, could buy a two-courtyard house, or ten steeds. No matter where you are, five hundred taels is definitely not a small figure!
The shopkeeper began to hesitate, and Cai Wei stood up, placed the hot gold into shopkeeper He’s hand. She didn’t believe that shopkeeper He could bear to push away the bright yellow gold that had come into his hands.
"Alright!"
As Cai Wei had expected, shopkeeper He indeed couldn’t bear to let go of the bright yellow gold in his hand. After contemplation for a long time, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
