Old Man Jun didn't feel depressed after losing the gambling fight, so he took Zhang Wei's hand.
A 180-degree turn in attitude.
"My little friend, your skills are amazing! I have never seen such exquisite cooking in my life."
"Stop it!"
Zhang Wei pushed the old man away and spread out a palm.
"I'm willing to admit defeat."
"Admit defeat, admit defeat! But my friend said that this is the first time I have entered the city, so there must be no place for me to serve. I, Wang Yuezhai, dare not say anything else, but I am ranked number one in the entire North."
"No need."
Zhang Wei refused directly, Daglacier was quite interesting.
If you were a chef, you would be busy with endless tasks in one day, which would be boring.
Zhang Wei continued: "Then how much should I price my recipe?"
"This... this recipe is too complicated. Very few chefs can complete it, and it is useless for idlers. If you have such skills, the value of this recipe is not great."
The old man was telling the truth, and Zhang Wei knew it himself.
This recipe is more of a show-off, and the actual effect is not great.
The old man glanced at the manager and said, "The borrowing fee can be set at 350,000 beli."
"What? Three hundred and fifty thousand!!!"
"What's all the fuss about is that this recipe is not very practical, otherwise it won't be worth a fortune!"
The old man continued: "If it is borrowed from the library, it will be widely circulated and lose its unique value. If it is used as a secret recipe and the price is marked at 35 million, I feel it is already very cheap."
Lingxi Wuqin Soup from Soup Soul is a secret recipe.
The only one in the world.
The number of people who know how to do it is no more than one hand, and things are more valuable when they are rare, so their value will naturally double.
"The library has two borrowing methods, one is sharing and the other is buying out."
"If it's divided, each time someone borrows it, one half of the profit will be shared. After fifty years, the copyright will belong to Shuge."
"If you buy out, this recipe will have nothing to do with you, and you can get a one-time profit..."
Zhang Wei asked: "If you buy it out...how much can you pay?"
Old Man Jun responded: "Forty million! If Dado Shuge doesn't want it, I can buy it on behalf of Wang Yuezhai!"
Zhang Wei was startled.
I didn't expect that a recipe that was just nonsense could sell for such a high price.
Zhang Wei even had the urge to write eight out of ten copies of it.
Easily set four or five small goals.
"Forget it, there's no point in having too much money."
Zhang Wei now has no shortage of means to make money, and he is quite Buddhist.
"I choose to buy out."
Old Man Jun glanced at the manager.
The manager did not hesitate and said very firmly: "With the exquisiteness of this dish, 40 Million Desert Bookstore has come out! Sir, if you have any plans to sell recipes in the future, you should consider us first and give you the best service in the industry."
Price!”
"You wait here for a moment, I'll go back to get the money!"
After saying that, the bookstore manager turned around and ran away, as if someone was trying to rob him.
Return to the thatched hut.
Old Man Jun carefully took out a small sandalwood box, which contained dozens of plant stems the size of soybeans.
"This is one of the rarest treasures in the North, 'Pu Yun Shou Yue'. It ranks second among all the teas in the North. I can't bear to drink it on weekdays, so I'll share it with my little friends."
Zhang Wei was not surprised at all by the change in the old man's attitude.
He said slightly teasingly: "You want to bribe me? Let me tell you, the bet between us is absolutely certain."
"Look at what you said, I am the kind of person who doesn't keep his word!"
"Someone's coming!"
The old man called the servant: "Prepare all the spices in the kitchen and pack them up. Also, go to the auction house immediately and ask if there are any endangered ingredients recently. Get them back to me no matter how much it costs!"
The servant said: "Others are easy to handle. There are only 45 grams of salt essence left. We are going to have a feast for the Northland chefs soon. This amount..."
The output of salt essence is rare, but the consumption is extremely large.
Most high-end dishes only need to add a little, and the taste will immediately rise to half a level.
Fortunately, the four major salt merchants have been in business for hundreds of years and have a guaranteed supply to each store, which has stabilized the price of salt.
Moreover, the price of salt essence is rarely changed, which can be said to be very conscientious.
"this……"
Old Man Jun gritted his teeth and said: "Take out ten grams and put it on this little friend."
Zhang Wei's brain was so big when he heard about the salt essence. It produced more than ten kilograms a day and filled the right side of the hall.
But when it comes to salt, you can only eat a little a day at most, but if you eat too much, you will really panic.
Zhang Wei waved his hand and said immediately: "Forget about the salt essence, I don't need that crap, give me something else to decorate."
Old Man Jun was stunned.
What is the background of this guy? The extremely scarce salt essence is actually called a piece of junk. Even the four major salt merchants themselves would not dare to say such a thing.
Maybe, you just don’t want to win someone’s love?
Mr. Jun glanced at Zhang Wei gratefully, and immediately said to the servant: "Go quickly, and give me more seasonings except salt and essence!"
Make good tea.
Mr. Jun filled Zhang Wei's glass.
"Pull the clouds and watch the moon, please taste it."
Zhang Wei licked the tip of his tongue and immediately praised it.
“Great tea!”
Fresh and refreshing, with a long aftertaste, it is definitely the best tea!
Compared with this, the Kowloon Nest Dahongpao, Pu'er Golden Guagong, West Lake Longjing, and Huangshan Maofeng are all turned into rubbish.
In the previous life, the price was somewhat higher than that of out-of-print rare products, but the quality of this tea is truly different!
"nice! You love it."
Zhang Wei asked: "This kind of top quality is only the second in the North, so how strong is the first?"
"This first place is amazing!"
When he talked about tea, Mr. Jun became very energetic.
"A hundred years ago, someone took an airship to the Kingdom of Clouds and found a dying tea tree there. After transplanting it back, they used various means to bring it back to life."
"It's a pity that this unknown dead tree only produces a few dozen grams a year, and the supply exceeds demand."
"Some time ago, at an auction in Northland, a rich woman beat the crowd with a price of 5 million beli, and only got a mere 45 grams."
Speaking of this, Old Man Jun looked sad.
For someone who loves tea very much, it is really hard to miss such a treasure.
The price of five million beli is also a big burden for Old Man Jun.
Just satisfying the appetite is still too luxurious.
Old Man Jun poured the tea himself and inquired without leaving any trace: "In addition to studying cooking skills, what other hobbies does my little friend have on weekdays?"
"Besides cooking and eating...there's nothing else, like reading or exercising."
"If you have a special hobby, maybe you like to collect some out-of-print ingredients?"
For Zhang Wei, as long as it can be stored once, the ingredients will stay in the collection hall forever.
Therefore, no matter how high-end the food is, to Zhang Wei, it is just like a ball.
But out-of-print ingredients are different. Although they are not necessarily expensive, once you lose them, you will never have the chance to see them again.
For Zhang Wei, who has a serious collection habit, this lost ingredient will turn into white moonlight sooner or later.
It's like an account full of skins, but lacking a cheap early skin, but it's so damn good, that skin is limited!
Looking at the missing corner, I felt an unpleasant feeling like a lump in my throat.
"Out-of-print ingredients?"
"I know it all."
Old Man Jun smiled with a vulgar look on his face, and it looked like he was holding back some bad water.
