After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

Chapter 237 Cooperation with Nanxinglou

After having a good meal and a good drink, Lin Ting looked at Zhao Zhengyang with satisfaction.

"Boss Zhao wants to use corn to make dishes, which is a great idea. I also have a few recipes for corn.

If we have a pleasant conversation, you can pick up a ready-made recipe."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhengyang felt that something was not going well. He felt that Lin Ting was going to take a big bite out of him.

"Mrs. Lin, please tell me your conditions first."

Lin Ting's face was serious and he spoke slowly.

“Boss Zhao should also know that in the entire Dongxia Kingdom, I am the only one who grows corn, and I can only earn money in a month at most.

Scarcity makes things valuable. Things wait for no one, and neither does time. If you also want Yumi to join Nanxinglou, I'll take 50% of every dish Yumi makes."

Corn itself is not cheap. If it is to be made into a dish, Lin Ting has the recipe, so they only need to process it and spend the labor.

Besides, seeing Lin Ting's expression, there was no room for negotiation. After all, there were so many restaurants in Wenzhu County.

Even if he doesn't do it himself, there are many people who want to cooperate with Lin Ting.

"Fifty percent. Is the corn provided by Madam Lin, or does Nanxinglou need to purchase it?"

"Boss Zhao, you're worrying too much. Since we're going to divide it into five floors, we naturally can't let you suffer any loss."

This means that Lin Ting provides the corn, and he is only responsible for making it into dishes and marketing it.

Besides, when people come here to eat, it is impossible for them to only order dishes with corn. Compared with the current recession, this is equivalent to attracting business.

Zhao Zhengyang felt that this business was worthwhile.

"Madam Lin, it's settled then."

The two also discussed how to make dishes from corn, pricing, and how to get the corn back from the Ningjiang bed.

"Boss Zhao, it's a pleasure working with you. I'll go home first."

An Hongyun will record in the account book how much corn Nanxinglou takes from the farm, so Lin Ting doesn't have to worry about it.

In just a few days, the names of Chayulou and Nanxinglou were all related to corn, especially Nanxinglou's pork ribs and corn soup, which cost ten taels of silver per serving, leaving other restaurants far behind.

Other dishes, such as fried corn and shredded corn, were also very popular. This matter even attracted the attention of the government for a time.

Qu Yuanxun personally went to Ningjiang Village with Lin Ting and took ten older corns as samples.

"I'm going to report corn as a type of food. If the capital gets the news and it's planted on a large scale in the future, you, Lin Ting, will be a hero."

Lin Ting didn't dare to think about being a hero or anything like that. She just had to do her own job well. But the corn she grew would definitely be planted all over the country in the future.

"If corn can help the people of my dynasty, I'll be happy too."

After a morning, Lin Ting saw that Qu Yuanxun was depressed and not as energetic as before.

"Master Qu doesn't look well. Is he feeling unwell?"

Qu Yuanxun smiled bitterly: "I'm fine, maybe I haven't slept well recently."

He waited for Lin Lin on the road she had to take on her way home every day. Since that time, she was no longer willing to say the first word to him.

"You have trouble sleeping. Ask Wan Weiran to prescribe you some tranquilizing medicine. No matter how busy you are with work, you must take care of your health."

Qu Yuanxun nodded. He followed Lin Ting in the cornfield. His eyes fell on Lin Ting, and he looked like he wanted to say something but stopped.

"Lin Ting, what has your sister been busy with these days?"

They were already friends, so when Qu Yuanxun asked this question, Lin Ting didn't think much about it.

"Every day she's busy with Huayan's incoming materials and outgoing shipments, and she also looks after Chayu's account books. Lately, she's even taking on all my work. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the time to do my own things."

Is she so busy just to avoid me?

"Lin Lin, how is she feeling these days?"

When asked this, Lin Ting stopped and turned to stare at Qu Yuanxun.

What did he mean? Did he really have any inappropriate thoughts about her sister?

"My sister is in the same mood as usual. Why are you asking this, Master Qu? Or, if my sister is in a bad mood, can you make her feel better?"

Qu Yuanxun was speechless.

Recently, his mother arranged for him to meet other women, but he rejected her several times. Lin Lin no longer paid any attention to him, and he lived his life in a daze.

After returning to the county government office, Qu Yuanxun was immediately called to the backyard by Old Madam Qu. Her table was filled with portraits.

"Yuanxun, come here and take a look at this girl. She is the daughter of the Liangzhou prefect. She is dignified and lovely, and she is nineteen years old."

Being able to marry the daughter of the prefect was considered a great achievement for Qu Yuanxun, but why was it Liangzhou? Because the prefect of Liangzhou had no sons and there was no hope of promotion in the future.

But Qu Yuanxun is different. He is a promising county magistrate and will return to the capital sooner or later.

"Mother, didn't you promise me that you wouldn't arrange any more matchmaking for me? How many times has this happened this month? I won't go."

The previous promise was made, but things are different now. She must find a woman better than Lin Lin.

Let Qu Yuanxun know that there are many good women in this world, not just Lin Lin.

"Yuanxun, you can't do this for your own selfish desires. You are a widower. Lin Lin is divorced, and I am very happy with Lin Lin. However, I cannot accept the fact that she cannot have a child. Neither can the ancestors of the Qu family."

Qu Yuanxun was helpless but unwilling to compromise.

"Mother, why do you have to worry about having a child? I don't want one at all. Isn't it just right that Lin Lin can't have one?"

Upon hearing such outrageous words, Mrs. Qu was so angry that she picked up the teacup on the table and threw it at Qu Yuanxun.

"Shut up! Is that something you can even say? You've never been a father, and you have no idea how important a child is to a family. Do you want to take advantage of the uncles from the side branch of the Qu family?"

What are all your efforts over the years worth? You are the hope of the Qu family, you must have a child of your own."

Qu Yuanxun sneered bitterly: "They are all the blood of the Qu family. I don't think there is anything wrong with adopting a child.

Mother, please stop talking. I have made up my mind. Please stop forcing me and let me make the decision for myself."

"Qu Yuanxun, you... you you..."

Old Madam Qu couldn't argue, but her upbringing didn't allow her to stand up and yell. Her hands were shaking as she pointed at Qu Yuanxun.

Xiaoju quickly supported Madam Qu, and then she suddenly convulsed.

This was how she had suffered a stroke because of Qu Yuanxun's anger. This time it happened again suddenly. The memories of the past suddenly came back to her, and Qu Yuanxun was frightened.

"Someone, someone, quickly go to Wanhetang and bring Wan Weiran over, quickly..."

Soon, people from the county government called Wan Weiran over. Wan Weiran gave Madam Qu acupuncture and prescribed some medicine, and Madam Qu calmed down again.

Qu Yuanxun pulled Wan Weiran aside, turned around and asked Wan Weiran.

"How is my mother? How is her health? Will it be like last time again?"

Wan Weiran sighed deeply, he really didn't know what his sworn enemy had said to make his mother so angry.
