My Husband and I Brought Hundreds of Millions of Supplies to Farm

122 Chapter 122 Paying In Another Way

Gu Chengrui and Zhou Ying had a plan when they heard this. The two gave a pack of food to the beggar, which helped them, and went to the blacksmith’s shop. They ordered 30 copper hotpots, an ordinary oven, several iron skewers, a few barbecue tongs, and a fine-toothed comb.

Then, they went to a porcelain shop and ordered many plates and bowls.

When they returned home that night, they were craving some barbeque. Thus, they went to the interspace to skewer some meat and had a good dinner.

The next day, when the waiter of Hongyun Restaurant came to pick up the goods, he handed Zhou Ying a red contract and said, “Mrs. Gu, Young Master Zhou asked me to give this to you.

“He mentioned that this manor is in the neighboring Xiaohe village and has 120 acres of fertile land and 500 acres of grassland. It was originally the Qiao family’s manor, mainly for rearing cattle and sheep.”

“How much is this manor worth?” Zhou Ying took the red contract and asked.

“Young Master didn’t say. But according to what I know, the manor, the cattle, and the sheep are worth at least 5000 taels of silver.”

“I understand. Thank you, brother. I’ll personally give the silver to Young Master Zhou.”

“Uh, Young Master Zhou has been very busy recently. I’m afraid he won’t have the time to see you.”

“Thanks for the reminder.”

After sending him off, Zhou Ying gave the title deed of the manor to Gu Chengrui and said, ” Rui, do you think that Brother Zhou has misunderstood and thinks that we want the manor for free?”

“I don’t think so. After capturing the county governor and mayor, he must have left behind a big mess and had to sort them out one by one.

“We’ll find out how much this manor is worth later and pay him the silver.” Gu Chengrui shook his head and said.

“That’s true, but he might not accept the money if we give it to him directly.

“I think we should give the recipe for the braised intestine to Hongyun Restaurant and the method of making yuba. This way, we just have to manage our restaurant in the future.”

Gu Chengrui replied, “As long as you’re willing to part with it, I have no objections. I just want you to live a carefree life.”

“Then it’s decided. I’ll write it down and give it to Manager Liu.”

After seeing Brother Tian off, Zhou Ying turned her head and asked, “Rui, what do you think about letting Brother Tian come to the restaurant to help us?

“Brother Tian is a good person, and I can see that his small business is doing quite well. I don’t know if he is willing to part with it, but I will ask him later.”

Zhou Ying suggested, “Let’s give it a try. I heard that bean sprouts are selling for a copper per pound now, and there’s not much profit in it now.”

After lunch, Zhou Ying took out a pen and paper and wrote down the recipe for the braised intestine, writing it in detail.

For example, the ingredients needed for braised pig trotters, chicken, duck, and others were all written clearly.

Honestly, without Young Master Zhou’s benevolence, she wouldn’t have been willing to give up on this series of prescriptions.

After all, these recipes alone were enough to support a hundred-year-old restaurant.

The makings of yuba were simple, too; it’s just no one had thought of it yet.

Finally, she mentioned the technique of not being greasy with red braised meat.

She handed it to Gu Chengrui and said, “Rui, can you copyright it for me since I can’t write in traditional words?”

“Are you sure you won’t regret giving all these recipes away?” Gu Chengrui took it and glanced at it. Then, he looked at her in shock.

“I don’t regret it. I have plenty of recipes in my head.” Zhou Ying replied boastfully, then turned around and left the room.

Seeing this, Gu Chengrui smiled and shook his head. He knew that she was reluctant, but since she had already written it, it meant that she had already thought about it. Therefore, he did not hesitate and went to his study to copyright it with a small pen.

After they were done, the two went straight to the town to find Manager Liu. Manager Liu had just finished his work when he saw the couple. He immediately approached them and asked, “Doctor Gu, Mrs. Gu. Please come in.”

“Sorry to disturb you, but we’re here today to pay for Young Master Zhou’s manor and to ask you who would be better at helping us to renovate it.” Gu Chengrui said.
