The manager didn't expect these two children to be so crafty as to refuse to sell the formula and only ask for a share.
Seeing that the shopkeeper did not make a sound, she laughed and said, "storekeeper uncle, I believe you have already eaten our clan's egg cake, so you have a good impression of this egg cake, if not you would not want to buy our clan's recipe, right?" The shopkeeper would go silent, as he felt that the share would be a bit disadvantageous to them.
But she was not an idiot, she had bought all the formulas at once. Her egg cake's business was so good right now, she did not want to earn money at once.
Even if she did not work with the Fumanlou, he and Liu Zhimo could still earn a lot if they set up stalls every day.
The shopkeeper rubbed his chin as he looked at Li Qingling calmly, "Little girl, if you eat too much of this, you will get tired of it too. Maybe your egg cake is doing pretty well right now, so it might be possible in the future." If there were a few more imitations, the business would be even more difficult.
The smile on Li Qingling's face did not change, she was still smiling as she looked at the shopkeeper, "This egg cake, looks simple, but I don't know how to cook it." The egg cake in her house added her spirit water, so even if someone else copied the egg cake, they wouldn't be able to imitate its taste, "The ingredients in this egg can be a little richer, it's just that our family doesn't have enough ingredients, so the egg cake that we can make is a little single. If Fumanlou is sincere in cooperating with us, I can teach the chefs how to make other ingredients."
In this aspect, she was not stingy at all, after all, if she was truly working with Fumanlou, the more Fumanlou earned, the more of her dividends, she would earn on her own, and she wouldn't have to work so hard, she only needed to use her skills.
The shopkeeper held his chin, but his expression still showed some hesitation. He couldn't help but glance at the wall opposite him, and his ears keenly heard the sound of someone knocking on the table.
He immediately put down his hand that was supporting his chin, the corner of his mouth raised, and asked Li Qingling.
Dividing these things, the more the better, but when Li Qingling thought about the situation in his family, she did not dare ask for more.
She pondered for a moment, then looked at Liu Zhimo, who nodded to her, and let her decide for herself.
"Then it's six or four, Fumanlou is six, and we're four."
"No." The moment Li Qingling finished speaking, the shopkeeper shook his head, he did not agree with him and said, "Eighty-two." In her opinion, Li Qingling had only used a tiny bit of technique. Without her helping him, eighty-two percent was enough.
Eighty-two? With such a high score, how could she possibly agree to it?
Li Qingling gritted her teeth and compromised a little, she said with a pained expression, "Seventy-three percent, this is my bottom line. If it was even less, we wouldn't be able to cooperate." If it was less, she would rather work hard and set up a stall with Liu Zhimo every day.
Hearing another knock on the table, the manager immediately nodded his head, "Fine, 73% then!" This time, he got someone to bring the paper and ink over and wrote an agreement with Li Qingling.
Li Qingling took the agreement and handed it over to Liu Zhimo, letting him have a look.
Seeing the shopkeeper's astonished expression, Li Qingling did not mind and said with a smile.
There were some traditional characters that she had never seen before, but she really didn't recognize them. This was the truth.
Liu Zhimo watched it seriously two or three times. When he felt that there were no problems, he nodded towards Li Qingling.
Li Qingling pressed her finger mark on the agreement, and asked Liu Zhimo to press it again.
Then, he would hand it over to the shopkeeper and ask him to press a fingerprint on it as well.
Li Qingling retrieved the portion that belonged to him and placed it close to her body.
"storekeeper uncle, we keep some chickens and eggs at home, it's very delicious, do you want to cooperate with me again and eat it from our house?" Since they were working with the Fumanlou, she and Liu Zhimo didn't need to go out of the stall, they would have time to raise chickens.
She planned to create a chicken farm that would specialize in producing and selling eggs to the Fumanlou. This would be another huge gain.
Thinking about how their family would continue to earn money everyday, Li Qingling became even more restless.
"Oh? Is it really that good? " The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows and asked Li Qingling. Isn't the taste of the eggs the same? How could they divide the food and eat it?
Li Qingling was afraid that the shopkeeper would not believe her, so she nodded her head, "It's really very delicious. Come over another day, I'll bring some for you to try. As she said that, she lowered her head in embarrassment, "Even though there aren't many hens in our house right now, and we don't have many eggs either, I plan to buy some chickens later to raise. When the time comes .." Before she could finish her words, she looked at the shopkeeper expectantly.
After hearing it, he started laughing out loud. He promised Li Qingling that as long as the eggs were really so delicious, he would prioritize eating them from her house.
Upon hearing the shopkeeper's words, Li Qingling's eyes lit up, and she smiled as she thanked him.
"Don't be so happy so early. If your eggs weren't as delicious as you said, I would have taken back what you said."
Li Qingling puffed out her chest with confidence, "Don't worry, I won't give you the chance to take back those words." As long as her spirit water was there, her family's eggs would definitely make people addicted to it.
The shopkeeper laughed again, then changed the topic and asked Li Qingling to teach the chef how to become a egg cake.
Li Qingling stood up happily, then followed the shopkeeper downstairs, preparing to go to the kitchen to teach chef how to become a egg cake.
When Liu Zhimo walked to the end, his eyes secretly glanced at the wall across him. Only then did he hear the sound of someone knocking on the table from the other side of the wall.
It was only when that voice rang out that the manager nodded and agreed to sign the agreement with them.
Was the wall over there hollow?
Even though he was suspicious, he didn't dare to confirm it. After all, this was someone else's territory, so he had to restrain himself.
Li Qingling went to the kitchen and the owner pointed at the two cooks, telling them to follow Li Qingling and learn to be egg cake.
The two cooks had also eaten egg cake before, and had tried before, but they just could not produce the taste that Li Qingling could. If Li Qingling wanted to teach them personally, they would definitely be happy.
He had learnt it. Another skill.
Li Qingling took out the mold that she brought with her, and demonstrated it to the two chefs from beginning to end in detail. When she was finished, she asked the two chefs if they understood her? If you don't understand, you can ask her.
The two chefs shook their heads. The egg cake's steps were rather simple.
"Then you guys make one for me to try." Li Qingling gave the seats to the two cooks, "Although it looks simple to make egg cake, but if you think egg cake are delicious, the temperature of the fire is very important, you must definitely grasp the quality of the fire well." If she couldn't handle the heat, even if her eggs were served with spiritual water, the taste wouldn't be too good.
The two cooks nodded, held their breath, and started to make egg cake seriously.
Li Qingling stood at the side and silently watched.
She waited until the two cooks had finished cooking their egg cake and given her a taste, then she opened her mouth to point out the shortcomings of the two cooks and ask them to correct them.
At the start, the two cooks had underestimated Li Qingling a little. Now, with Li Qingling's pointers, the contempt they had in their hearts disappeared and was replaced with admiration.
Even though Li Qingling was young, her pointers were clear to see.
The two chefs thanked Li Qingling sincerely and started to make egg cake again. When it was done, they let Li Qingling taste it and let him continue giving pointers.
After more than an hour had passed, Li Qingling finally nodded her head in front of the two chefs' expectant gazes.
Seeing her nod, the two chefs heaved a sigh of relief and bowed towards Li Qingling, thanking her for her guidance.
Li Qingling laughed, told them to practice more, and then left the kitchen.
Seeing Li Qingling coming out, Liu Zhimo walked over and asked her is she tired?
"I'm not tired, but I'm full." After eating so many egg cake in one go, she was about to puke.
"It's fine. We can digest it if we slowly walk back." Liu Zhimo smiled and comforted her.
She acknowledged him, rubbed her stomach, walked to the shopkeeper, and smiled, "storekeeper uncle, the two chef and uncles have already mastered the skills of egg cake, if there's anything they still don't understand, come find me." She gave the shopkeeper an address.
The manager replied with a smile.
"Then storekeeper uncle, we'll be leaving first!"
"Alright, take care."
After Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo left the Fumanlou, the shopkeeper turned and went upstairs.
He knocked on the door of the next room, and when he heard the invitation to come in, he pushed the door open and respectfully handed the agreement to a young man in the seat of honor.
"Mistress, this is the agreement we signed just now."
The man stretched out his hand to take a look and put it back in the shopkeeper's hand, telling him to keep it.
"Mistress, this little one doesn't understand. Why are you willing to work with those two children?"
In his opinion, a one-time buyout was the best choice.
The young man glanced at the manager and said indifferently, "I feel that the young girl will give me even more surprises." From the moment he had seen Li Qingling, he had a strong intuition.
And he had always trusted his intuition.
"..." The shopkeeper couldn't understand his mistress's thoughts, so he changed the topic and switched to another topic, "Recently, Flavor Tower has been targeting our Fumanlou. Mistress, do you want to take a look?"
The young man waved his hand with a nonchalant expression, "Let them be the ones to deal with such underhanded methods. There's no need to bother with them." Pausing, "Help me investigate the background of those two children, the more detailed the better." He saw that the boy looked familiar.
The shopkeeper nodded and reported a few more things to the man before respectfully leaving.
