Chapter 501 Win-win Mutual Benefit
"This..."
The owner’s expression was somewhat hesitant. It sounded like her requests were indeed not excessive, and relatively speaking, if the business really picked up, it seemed like he was the one getting the better deal.
After all, the restaurant business is highly profitable.
But...
"Aren’t you worried that after I learn how to make the dishes, I’ll stop buying vegetables and fish from you?"
He voiced his doubt, noticing the young lady appeared shrewd. Yet, it seemed as if this arrangement didn’t provide her any security.
"Uncle, I trust in your character. The moment I saw you, I felt that you’re a person of integrity. Otherwise, your business wouldn’t be doing so well." Shen Mianmian started with a bit of flattery, then added, "Besides, even if you learn and stop buying from me, I’m not afraid. If it comes down to it, I’ll just teach another restaurant how to make these dishes. I’m okay with teaching a few more recipes, as I have plenty. It will be up to you whether Licheng will have just one restaurant or many offering these dishes."
"What a carrot and stick approach." The owner did not get angry. Instead, he laughed heartily. To be honest, if she really trusted him as much as she said earlier, he would have been skeptical, but after hearing what she said later, he immediately felt reassured.
