Daiyu from the Red Mansion is also arguing with people today

Chapter 161 I Don’t Want to Eat Pig Brains

Daiyu quickly pulled Yingchun to the charcoal basin, and said with a tone of reproach: "Your master really doesn't have any sympathy for others. It's so cold at night, and you didn't even think to send the news in during the day."

Yingchun was about to retort that she had inner strength and was not afraid of the cold, but the caring tone in Daiyu's words made her feel warm inside.

When Daiyu handed over the second cup of hot tea, Yingchun couldn't drink it anymore. She waved her hand and refused, "Don't force me to drink anymore. I can't drink it anymore! I have good news for you. It's done!"

"What's the matter?" Yingchun's words were incoherent and Daiyu was a little confused.

"It's about the restaurant cooperation!" Yingchun reminded.

Daiyu looked a little strange: "Didn't you say before that you would try your snack shop first? How come you got a response so soon?"

"Yeah! I was wondering too! I thought I would have to wait at least three months, but I didn't expect Manager Leng to bring good news so soon!" Yingchun's little face flushed, not sure if it was because of the cold outside or because of excitement.

Daiyu smiled proudly and said, "He really knows what he is talking about!"

Seeing her so calm and without any surprise, Yingchun couldn't help but say, "Young Master is willing to give out 15% of the dividends of Menghua Restaurant every month in exchange for the recipes in your hand, and also hand in a certain number of new recipes every month. I think this condition is not difficult for us, what do you think?"

Daiyu nodded in agreement: "Since your master is so sincere, I will return the favor. You have made a great contribution here, so I will give you half of the profit, and we will share the profits together."

After getting Daiyu's promise, Yingchun became even more excited: "Halfway done! Do you know how much the monthly turnover of Menghua Restaurant is? Tens of thousands of taels of silver! Minus the cost, there are still 20,000 to 30,000 taels of silver!"

Daiyu did some calculations and realized that if she continued to introduce new dishes, the restaurant's monthly profit would increase by at least 30%. If she gave herself 15% of the profit, it wouldn't be a loss. The most important thing was that Daiyu couldn't open a restaurant herself at the moment.

"Wang Tingyu really got a great bargain this time!" Daiyu concluded.

Yingchun's eyes sparkled. "Yes, if the two of us hadn't been unable to run the business, it wouldn't have been his turn! Let's discuss which recipes to keep for our own snack shop in the future and which to give to him."

Daiyu couldn't help but tease her when she heard this: "Are you not trying to benefit your son now?"

"Why bother thinking about him? It's not as important as the money I make for myself!"

Yingchun glared at Daiyu with a coquettish look, which made her feel so limp that half of her body softened.

She rubbed her arm awkwardly and said with a smile: "You two have really learned bad things from Qin Keqing!"

Not only Yingchun, but even Wang Xifeng and Qin Keqing, after having been in contact with them for a long time, all developed a hint of charm, and Daiyu really couldn't resist it!

The two of them got together and discussed for a while, and finally finalized the menu and cooperation model.

"When the time comes, you can ask Manager Lin to negotiate directly with Shopkeeper Leng. The young master has already handed the matter over to Shopkeeper Leng. As long as the price is not too outrageous, Shopkeeper Leng will make the decision and agree to it."

Daiyu winked mischievously: "It's easier to get things done if you have an insider!"

"That's just you. The young master is not like this to other people!" After Yingchun said this, she realized that she had said too much and shut her mouth at the right time.

Daiyu also understood her implication, but did not ask further. Instead, she said proudly, "Of course! My mother and Aunt Xu are sisters, and I am half his sister. What's wrong with giving in to me?"

Yingchun pinched Daiyu's face and teased her, "I don't know how old you are, but you're still pretending to be young!"

"Can we still be good sisters?" Daiyu shouted, and she and Yingchun laughed and played together.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, another half month had passed. Xueyan hummed a little tune, handed the monthly allowance for March to Nanny Wang, and then went to report to Daiyu.

"How about it?"

"To answer the young lady's question, the little maids found out the news, and except for Mrs. Xing's chambermaid and Wang Shanbao's wife muttering a few words, no one else talked about it."

Daiyu snorted and didn't ask any more questions.

The days that followed seemed exceptionally peaceful. Apart from the fact that Nanny Gu would occasionally return to Lixiangyuan early, nothing special happened.

Since that night, when Qin Keqing and Daiyu had reached an agreement, Yu Zilu was sent back to Qin's residence. He used several acupuncture techniques on Qin Ye, and his condition did not worsen further.

However, all three of them knew that this was just a way to delay time.

Daiyu also went to Qin's house to investigate in person, and checked Qin Ye's brain under the pretext of scanning for new books.

I won’t go into the details of the situation. Anyway, Daiyu felt that she would not want to eat pig brains in the short term.

As for Mrs. Wang, apart from occasionally chatting with Aunt Xue and telling her about the difficulties Jia Yuanchun faced in the palace, it seemed as if what had happened before was just a test.

It's like the calm before the storm, and you never know when it will be torn apart.

What Daiyu didn't expect was that the beginning of this great change would happen to Jia Baoyu, Qin Zhong and Xue Pan.

This has to mention Zhineng'er. Since she went to the Qin Mansion, her relationship with Qin Zhong has been inseparable.

Although Madam Qin was Qin Zhong's biological mother and in charge of the affairs of the inner house, she was not the principal wife after all. The only person who could really make the decision in the entire Qin Mansion was Qin Zhong, a half-grown child.

Qin Zhong knew nothing about the affairs of the mansion, so he left all the affairs to the housekeeper. He only cared about being with Zhineng'er, and even when he went to Jia's school every day, he would not forget to let Zhineng's children dress up as men and go with him.

It was fine for a day or two, but after a long time, he was finally encountered by Xue Pan.

Previously, accidents happened to the Xue family's courtyard and property at the same time. Xue Pan followed the housekeeper Lai and ran around everywhere, and had not been to the school for a long time.

Now that he had finished his work, he could no longer hold back and thought of his beloved, so he went back to the school.

When he saw them, he quickly discovered that there were two new handsome and lovely faces in the school. Their looks and figures were much better than his own, which made Xue Pan feel very fresh.

After a while, the three of them got along very well, and they even did not forget to bring Jia Baoyu along. For a while, Xue Pan's courtyard in the outer study became the place where the four of them spent the most time every day.

Xiang Lianyuai, who was neglected, naturally couldn't swallow this breath. In their view, Qin Zhong was fine, but that servant was nothing, not even worthy of carrying shoes in front of the Jia family.

So, the matter was exposed by them.

They were originally members of the Jia family, so they naturally knew what things would most irritate the masters and ladies above them.

Daiyu was in the middle of it and didn't even have the space to add fuel to the fire.
