Sitting in such a high position, what does Ji Mingxuan want that can't be said in a single sentence?
But facing this spicy rabbit head... oh no, facing Miss Zhao, who not only has a good temper, but also has a warm tone, and even spends money to buy her prescriptions.
Qi Yuan felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he could only stand aside silently and watch what happened.
Zhao Huanyu pretended to be surprised and lowered her head, and said respectfully: "It is my honor to be liked by the adults. I will write a small note and dedicate it to you in a moment."
"Hey," Ji Mingxuan raised his hand to stop him, "Since I said I want to buy it, I don't need you to give it to me. Just give me a price."
Zhao Huanyu shrank her neck and slowly stretched out her hand, no more, no less, five fingers.
She originally wanted to show her kindness and accept fifty taels of silver, but before she could speak, the man opposite him started talking to himself.
"Five thousand taels, right? OK, then five thousand taels, Fu Yuan, give me the money."
Zhao Huanyu:......
Others:???
Five hundred taels can still be understood, but what are you talking about with five thousand taels?
It was only now that Zhao Huanyu realized belatedly that this man was supporting herself.
Although their relationship cannot be made public for the time being, this does not prevent him from protecting himself.
She said that she wanted to do business, and she also wanted to get to know some business people through this birthday party, so that it would be easier for her to do things in the future.
But in fact, even if she is good at cooking and can be the chef at a banquet, those businessmen may not buy it, let alone have business dealings with her.
But after Ji Mingxuan's support, everyone knew that she had an open relationship with Ji Mingxuan. The dishes she cooked were approved by Ji Mingxuan, and he even spent 5,000 taels to buy her recipes.
In the eyes of everyone, this is a great honor.
Everyone envied Zhao Huanyu, but Duan Kuo was worried about Zhao Huanyu.
He felt that this matter should not be so simple. Why would Ji Mingxuan spend so much money on a recipe?
Is it possible that there is a hidden agenda behind it?
Duan Kuo's original intention was just to let Zhao Huanyu make some connections, but he didn't expect that he would attract this living king of hell.
Although the current situation is very favorable to Zhao Huanyu, dangers are always everywhere. It would be a bad thing if some people set their sights on Zhao Huanyu.
Zhao Huanyu looked at the five thousand taels of silver notes sent by Fu Yuan and did not dare to take it for a long time: "Sir, I am scared. I don't dare to ask for so much..."
She lowered her head, not even daring to look at Ji Mingxuan.
"Take it, I like this dish. I think your majesty will also like it. If it can win your majesty's favor, these five thousand taels of silver will be well spent."
Ji Mingxuan smiled slightly, and everyone was shocked. It turned out that it was going to be dedicated to the emperor. This girl's life was too good, right?
If this skill really catches the emperor's eye, you might be able to join the palace as an imperial cook. That would be a blessing earned in eight lifetimes!
Everyone around them has different thoughts. Ji Mingxuan was so full of praise when they met for the first time, and they thought they would have more contact in the future. So, should they take this time to flatter each other?
No matter what the people around him thought, Zhao Huanyu finally accepted the five thousand taels of silver notes.
Duan Kuo breathed out a faint breath. Before, he spent 300 taels to buy a recipe from Zhao Huanyu. Shopkeeper Qi also said that he was a prodigal and a big injustice. Now Zhao Huanyu sells a dish of spicy rabbit head for 5,000 taels. Let's see if the old guy dares.
Do you dare to say that Ji Mingxuan is a great injustice?
Ji Mingxuan knew the measurements very well and wanted to support her without letting anyone know the clues. After Zhao Huanyu received the money, he asked Zhao Huanyu to go down and write the recipe while he took the lead in eating.
I have to say that the dishes on this table were all carefully prepared and tasted delicious. Except for the plate of spicy rabbit heads, which looked a bit scary, it tasted the best.
The reputation was already known on the day of the competition, and today these people were no longer hesitant to make a move like before.
People who didn't sit at the same table with Ji Mingxuan ate with open stomachs, but those who sat at the same table with Ji Mingxuan were miserable. They obviously wanted to eat well, but they still had to pretend to be polite.
Just like Duan Kuo.
Duan Kuo's uncle was an official and his family had some background, so he was assigned to sit at the same table as Ji Mingxuan.
This was very painful for him. He was afraid that his vulgar behavior would stain the eyes of important people, so he didn't dare to do anything, so he could only cry silently in his heart.
Ji Mingxuan glanced at everyone present, taking in all their reactions, and asked jokingly: "What? You don't like to eat?"
With that said, he picked up a rabbit head and started to chew on it. Fu Yuan next to him also picked up a rabbit head and started chewing on it. Qi Yuan was frightened.
Duan Kuo was happy when he saw it and said hurriedly: "Of course I like it!"
So, I finally got to eat, and he was the happiest person at this table.
Qi Yuan and several other wealthy people with some backgrounds were still a little wary, so they ate with them cautiously and basically did not dare to talk nonsense.
In the kitchen, everyone already knew that Zhao Huanyu sold a prescription for five thousand taels, and they all cried with envy.
No matter what you think in your heart, you will always be flattered.
Zhao Huanyu liked to hear good words, and she was very happy, thinking about the money in her arms, which was so beautiful that she couldn't find it.
It feels so good to have someone supporting me!
"Miss Zhao, you sold this recipe for five thousand taels, how do you plan to spend the money?"
"Yes, yes, after all these years, I have never made so much money in my life. I am so envious!"
"Miss Zhao, can you show us what a five thousand tael bank note looks like?"
…
After the flattery, there were all kinds of problems. Zhao Huanyu naturally couldn't take it out easily, and said: "You guys are joking, this is a gift given to me by the adults. It doesn't matter at the critical moment, I will never take it out and use it. If
Yes, I would also like to put it in the family hall as an offering, and hope that the dishes I cook will be really liked by His Majesty, then I will be proud of my ancestors!"
She looked like she had a wonderful fantasy, which left people speechless.
Does anyone have a banknote in their house?
But what is it about what Zhao Huanyu said that makes them so envious? They also want to honor their ancestors in this way!
This effect is indeed useful. Although everyone is still talking about it, no one wants to see the banknote anymore. After all, she wants to take it back and pay for it. She won't even use the five thousand taels to get rich. That's not what they are like.
The same, whether you should be poor or poor, you are still poor.
When I thought about it, my heart instantly became balanced.
So what if you are appreciated by a big shot? Aren't you just a fool?
After dinner, Qi Yuan first invited Ji Mingxuan to sit in the study, and then presented him with the painting he had asked for.
Fu Yuan opened it and inspected it carefully to make sure it was authentic, and then put it away properly.
"Make a price."
Ji Mingxuan crossed his legs, picked up the tea cup on the table, blew on the tea leaves floating on the surface, and took a sip.
The movements were ordinary but elegant, but Qi Yuan was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a plop.
"My little girl bumped into you, so you are merciful by not blaming her. This painting is not worth a lot of money. You can take it as long as you like."
He didn't want to collect money from the beginning, as long as the person didn't cause trouble for him.
Now that Qi Jiaxin's matter was brought up again, Ji Mingxuan was careful not to pursue it at all.
