Actually, she didn’t sign a contract with Rich Source Tavern either. In ancient times, there might not have been such an advanced concept as contracts. Without signing any written agreement, if she denied it, no one could do anything about it.
However, she was not that unscrupulous a person.
She had never been a good person, but in being a bad one, she needed to have principles too.
Since she promised not to say anything, she wouldn’t.
“Yeah, we can’t let people lose money.” Someone else said that. No one asked for the recipe, but some people became curious, “Su Qingyue, how much did you sell the stir-fried fern recipe for?”
She just smiled, “Why ask so directly? Would you tell me how much money your family has?”
“Well…” Some people still wanted to ask, while others told them not to press her. Wang Qigu, the village’s biggest gossip, was also in line to fetch water, “I guess it must have been sold for over ten taels. Look at the cotton quilt she bought this afternoon, as well as about twenty jins of sugar and seasonings…
Those alone cost several taels…”
“Was it more than ten taels?” In the history of the village, no one had ever earned such a large sum of money in just a few days, and now more people couldn’t let go of the idea.
“It might have been more than double that.” Su Qingyue said.
Everyone envied her, while some were also jealous. They discussed enthusiastically, with varying opinions.
Su Qingyue originally thought she could ask questions of a lot of people at once with so many people around, but with such a large crowd, she found it hard to ask her questions. She hesitated, then decided to go to the Fuquan family instead.
At this moment, in the yard of the Zhou Family, Zhou Fuquan’s mother, Zhou Hu-shi, was washing clothes in a large foot basin while complaining, “The Xiao
Family is really too unscrupulous. They make money silently while you and
Chuan are so close, but they still didn’t tell you the recipe for stir-fried fern.”
Zhou Fuquan was sitting on a stool beside her, holding his son Fuwa, “Chuan said it was Su Qingyue’s idea for the recipe, and he doesn’t know it either.”
“Su Qingyue is his wife, how can he not know?” Zhou Hu-shi didn’t believe it.
“He’s been lying on the bed for the past few days and can’t get up, so he didn’t have anything to do with the fern dish that was cooked and sold. It’s only normal that he doesn’t know.”
“You believe him. He just doesn’t want to say…” Zhou Hu-shi didn’t give up, “Fuquan, you should go to the Xiao Family and ask again. Making money by cooking fern is so easy, and selling it for a few days is worth a year’s work as a farmer…”
Thinking about this, Zhou Hu-shi’s eyes turned red with jealousy.
“I’m not asking anymore. They won’t say…” Zhou Fuquan had no more face to ask, “If it were me, I wouldn’t tell either.”
“The Xiao Family are all heartless!” Zhou Hu-shi’s wrinkled old face was furious, “If it weren’t for our family lending them one and a half taels this time, the Xiao Family’s house would have been taken to pay off their debts.” “Mom, you’re still talking about it!” Zhou Fuquan was angry when it was mentioned, “If it weren’t for you cursing Cuihua every day, forcing her to go ask for money, her ears would have been calloused by now. Would we have had to ask for money in so many different ways? At first, I said the Xiao family wasn’t the kind that would default on debts. We could at least wait until Second Brother and Chuan got better before we asked them for money. But you went secretly pressing them for money behind my back…”
Wang Cuihua came out of the kitchen, having been paying attention to the conversation in the yard, and said, “Grandma, it’s really our fault this time. If we hadn’t pressured the Xiao Family, maybe they would have told us the stir-fried fern recipe. Chuan might really not know the recipe. We should ask Qingyue, but since we already pressed the Xiao Family for money first, we’re too embarrassed to ask…”
Zhou Hu-shi also regretted it very much, “How could I have known that Su Qingyue could make so much money? If I had known, I wouldn’t have minded lending her more money… I was just afraid that the Xiao Family wouldn’t be able to pay it back….”
