Chapter 198 Recipes
Su Yu seemed to see through his thoughts and spoke frankly, "Boss He, these recipes were originally my closely guarded secrets, never before disclosed. However, considering your forthright personality and the sincerity of paying a personal visit, in addition to my willingness to contribute to the suppression of the Food Taste Restaurant, I’ll make an exception this time. The secret recipes for ten dishes, for only one hundred taels of silver, what do you think?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding crowd couldn’t help but draw in a breath of cold air, shocked by the price, while others secretly calculated its value.
Ten exquisite dishes priced at one hundred taels of silver indeed were no small matter, rightly termed as costly.
However, there wasn’t a trace of hesitation in He Hongmao’s eyes, a resolute smile appeared on his lips, and almost without thinking, he uttered a word, "Deal."
A shock went through Su Yu’s heart, this readiness had taken her by surprise.
She had thought it would take a verbal battle, yet He Hongmao was so direct, as if he had been prepared all along and completely undisturbed by this significant expenditure.
She pondered in her heart if all her previous careful thoughts and groundwork had been in vain.
At that moment, an urgent voice broke the silence of the room.
He Hongmao’s cousin, Liu Ji, his face filled with anxiety, hurriedly spoke to dissuade him, "Cousin, we have a total of just over one hundred taels of silver in our accounts, spending all of it on recipes is really... Sigh, too risky!"
Su Yu hadn’t expected that Boss He’s financial situation was so tight, that he would deplete all his resources just for the secret of a dish.
In his actions, she sensed a desperation close to despair, as if she had become his last straw to save the inn.
