BXBX NOVEL Chapter 581 - 581: Going to Qingquan Manor (1)
After the meal, Princess Anyang was still complimenting the potatoes.
She also mentioned that she wanted to see what a raw potato looked like.
Lin Xiaoyue agreed.
She brought the two of them directly to the kitchen.
When she saw the potato, Princess Anyang couldn’t put it down.
“It’s so big!” Princess Anyang took a potato and admired it.
It looked like a lump of dirt, but it was actually so delicious when cooked.
Sun Tao was smiling as he explained it to Princess Anyang and Liang Yu.
“Haha, Your Highness, this is not the biggest. Some of the bigger ones could weigh more than a catty each. One is enough to make a dish!”
Princess Anyang was shocked.
“That big?” She first looked at Sun Tao and Lin Xiaoyue, then at Liang Yu.
One potato could be more than a catty, and a catty cost four to 5 wen. If the production of potatoes was high, Ms. Lin could earn a lot of money easily.
Liang Yu did not react.
He had seen potatoes before and understood the situation.
Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes flickered.
“If Your Highness likes these potatoes, you can bring some back later.” He said.
Princess Anyang’s face lit up.
Just as she was about to agree, she suddenly thought of something.
“Why don’t 1 buy it? Can these potatoes be stored for a long time?”
Lin Xiaoyue smiled. “The potatoes that are collected are all muddy. Put them in a dry cellar. If they are preserved properly, there will be no problem keeping them for a year.”
Thinking of something, Lin Xiaoyue said, “right, Your Highness has to be careful. The potatoes that have teeth are poisonous and cannot be used.”
Princess Anyang and Liang Yu were both shocked.
They quickly noted this down.
After that, Princess Anyang asked Sun Tao how to cook with potatoes.
Sun Tao didn’t reply. Instead, he looked at Lin Xiaoyue awkwardly.
When Princess Anyang saw this, she realized the situation and a hint of embarrassment flashed across her face.
“I… I really like eating potatoes.”
“How about this, 1’11 give you money, and you let Master Sun teach the chefs of the Imperial Residence. How about that?” Princess Anyang’s face was filled with anticipation.
Liang Yu also looked at Lin Xiaoyue without batting an eyelid.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and turned to look at Liang Yu.
“Young Master Liang, are you interested in the recipes?”
How much could they sell it for if they sold it to Prince Anyang?
Selling it to the Liang Trading Company was better.
With the relationship between the Anyang Imperial Residence and the Liang Corporation, no matter who she sold it to, the resources would be shared. As such, she had to see it to whoever could pay a higher price.
Liang Yu’s expression changed slightly, knowing that his thoughts had been seen through by Lin Xiaoyue.
He smiled awkwardly and nodded.
“Of course I’m interested. 1 wonder how much you plan to charge?”
After dealing with her many times, he did not think that it was so easy to take advantage of Ms. Lin. Therefore, within a reasonable price range, it was better to pay the appropriate amount.
Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes flickered.
“1,000 taels, including all the potato dishes on the table today. I will allow the Liang family to send a chef to the Liu residence to learn from Master Sun. After that, 1 won’t interfere with whether the Liang Corporation teaches to outsiders or not.” As she spoke, Lin Xiaoyue looked at Princess Anyang.
Princess Anyang immediately understood and smiled at her brother.
Hehe, did Ms. Lin mean that she allowed them to have it for free? Not bad…
Liang Yu:”…”
His sister didn’t care about his feelings at all!
“Deal! Then I’ll arrange for a chef to come over tomorrow.” Suppressing the emotions in his heart, Liang Yu replied to Lin Xiaoyue.
1,000 taels was not a low price. However, there were many ways to cook potatoes, and some cooking methods might be able to be used for other dishes.
In this way, it was actually quite cost-effective.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and nodded.
Sun Tao’s jaw almost dropped.
What? Teaching someone how to cook for 1,000 taels?
Everyone was saying that their mistress was a business genius. Not only did she support so many of his brothers in the Nangong Army, but she also allowed everyone to live a good life.
She was clearly an immortal!
That was too easy!
Lin Xiaoyue noticed Sun Tao’s reaction and gave him a proud look.
Sun Tao quickly lowered his head and bowed to Lin Xiaoyue. “Don’t worry, Miss.. I will definitely teach Young Master Liang’s people seriously!”
