Chapter 28

“Hehe.. Shopkeeper Zhang is probably a busy man. I won’t beat around the bush. My humble self has a new and rare food recipe that is suited for this kind of weather, not sure if Shopkeeper Zhang is interested?”

It didn’t matter what era you were in, wealthy men and ladies would have all kinds of rich ailments. Today he was targeting those to sell his jam.

“Oh? This guest probably already knows but every single food from our Xinyuan restaurant can be rated as a very high quality good. We dare not to present commoner goods as it is a bit embarrassing to show.”

The shopkeeper raised his eyebrow. It wasn't to despise or humiliate but Xinyuan restaurant wasn’t just number one in Datong Town, it was also the best in the Qing Dynasty. There was practically one in every prefecture of the Qing dynasty. Every food item they ate was said to be full of fragrance, color, and appearance. Naturally, the price was also high.

“This I understand. Could the shopkeeper possibly lend me the kitchen?”

“Guest this way!”

Seeing that he really seemed to be confident, Shopkeeper Zhang contemplated a bit before responding. With everybody watching, Ling Jingxuan and his sons followed the shopkeeper to the back of the restaurant.

Having laid out the foundation for a long time, he was finally able to talk about the important point. Shopkeeper Zhang and the chefs couldn't help but put their attention on the jam jar, including a chef who had used a spoon to deliver some to his mouth. A slightly sour but sweet flavor instantly spread through his core and a satisfied smiling expression appeared on his face.

“Ling Gongzi, let's go out and talk.”

Sweeping his gaze over the chefs, Shopkeeper Zhang gestured with his hand. Ling Jingxuan was also not impolite. Carrying the jam jar he led the two children outside. ***
