Su Sanlang recalled and panicked. He remembered that when Madam Qian was cooking, a chef had been watching. Could he be learning Madam Qian's recipes?

Had he really learned it so quickly? Su Sanlang didn't dare deny it. He was annoyed that he had been careless, but now that it had happened, there was no point in being frustrated.

He began to think of countermeasures. If Fu Man Lai's cook had learned, what would he do next?

After thinking about it, he felt that he would probably not be able to negotiate this business today. He was not scheming enough. Thinking about it, Su Sanlang's heart felt heavy.

With two sighs, he began to calm himself.

When Shopkeeper Niu went to the kitchen, he saw the old chef say with a bitter expression, "Shopkeeper, the taste is wrong."

Shopkeeper Niu's expression changed. "What's wrong?"

The old chef sighed and said, "Try it and you'll know."

The braised pork made by Qian was fat but not greasy. It had the salty fragrance of sauerkraut.

The fish and mutton were fresh and delicious. The fish meat was tender and slightly chewy, and the mutton was also slightly chewy. The sauerkraut at the bottom was very delicious when mixed with the soup of mutton and fish. The last splash of hot oil made it even more delicious.

The sauerkraut fish was extraordinary as well. The soup was fresh and the fish was tender.

The tofu soup stewed with spicy cabbage looked simple, but the taste was very different. It was sweet, spicy, and refreshing. Even a sip of soup and a bite of vegetables felt refreshing.

Looking at what he had made, it didn't look like it, nor did it taste similar. The fish and mutton carried a fishy smell, and when mixed together, they didn't taste good at all. Madam Zhao's fish and mutton also had a little fishy smell, but compared to the dish itself, the fishy smell of the fish and mutton only made people feel that the ingredients were fresh.

What he made instead tasted flat and didn't highlight these.

After trying it out, Shopkeeper Niu frowned and said, "Looks like that woman has some tricks up her sleeve."

The old chef did not say anything. He felt that it was normal for Madam Qian to have a backup plan. After all, for the sake of benefits, it was normal for her to be on guard.

After sighing, Shopkeeper Niu said, "Looks like we won't be able to save this money. Go ahead. I'll go over first."

The method of cooperation suggested by Su Sanlang was to pay for the use of the recipe every year. If this went on for a long time, it would be a huge expense. Shopkeeper Niu felt that it was not worth it. The restaurant chef was an old chef who had seen the world. It was simple and easy to learn. If the old chef could learn it, he naturally did not need to spend this additional money.

However, Madam Qian had a backup plan. The dishes she cooked were even more stunning. Such a good dish would definitely be very popular when it was launched, so this collaboration had to be discussed.

If they were going to talk business, they had to make more profit for themselves.

Shopkeeper Niu quickly returned to the private room. He smiled gently at Su Sanlang and said, "I'm sorry to have made Brother Su wait for so long. After some understanding, I have some understanding of Brother Su's character. Brother Su is an honest person. I hope we can work together."
