Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress

For this reason, Caiwei asked the waiter to call the shopkeeper to discuss the matter with him.

When the shopkeeper heard that Caiwei wanted people to come to his restaurant to learn how to roast duck, he immediately shook his head like a rattle and kept saying "No!"

"Miss, to be honest, the skill of roasting duck is passed down from our ancestors. It is the private dish of our He family and is not passed down to others!"

Caiwei smiled, took out five ingots of gold from her purse, put them on the table, and said, "You are not the only one in the He family, and you are not the only one who owns He's roast duck. If you don't want to spread the word, I will take it." Take these fifty taels of gold and go to other houses to see if there is any He family who is willing to accept these fifty taels of gold!"

In the Jin Dynasty, one tael of gold was equivalent to ten taels of silver, and fifty taels of gold was equivalent to five hundred taels of silver.

Five hundred taels of silver can buy a two-entry house in a similar location in Qing County, or ten horses. Putting it in any place, five hundred taels is definitely not a small amount!

The shopkeeper became entangled, Caiwei stood up and put the charcoal-like gold into shopkeeper He's hand. She didn't believe that shopkeeper He could bear to push out the yellow gold that was in his hand.

"All right!"

As Caiwei expected, Shopkeeper He was really reluctant to put down the yellow gold in his hand. After thinking about it for a long time, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

"However, I have three conditions. If you agree, I will accept your people as apprentices; if you don't agree, I will have to return the original."

Caiwei smiled and said, "I'd like to hear the details!"

Shopkeeper He said: "First, after your people complete their studies, they are not allowed to open a store within a radius of 500 miles."

"No problem, what about the second one?"

"Second, you are not allowed to use our He family name, and you are not allowed to say that you are my apprentice!"

"It's not difficult at all. Shopkeeper, just don't worry."

"Third, your people must swear a poisonous oath and cannot accept disciples for the rest of their lives."

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Caiwei stood up, smiled at Dunzhu and Danzhu and said, "Why don't you two come and pay homage to Master soon?"

When Danzhu and Dunzhu heard that Shopkeeper He was willing to teach them the skills of roasting duck, they were so happy that they knelt down with a "pop" and kowtowed to Shopkeeper He respectfully according to the etiquette of Jin people's apprenticeship.

Shopkeeper He took in the sisters and arranged for them to live in his restaurant. When Caiwei said goodbye to them, Dunzhu said to her emotionally: "Miss, I am Bart. You saved Dunzhu's life." Yes, you gave me life once and you are my great benefactor; this time, you spent so much gold to let us learn the craft. When Dunzhu and Danzhu learn the craft in the future, they must learn it well. To repay you, I will double the gold you spent to earn back..."

Caiwei couldn't stay outside for too long. She had to rush back and wait for the person in the song to reply, and she also had to wait for the waiter's reply. After coming out of He's Roast Duck, she went back to the inn.

Back at the inn, the waiter had returned from delivering a message to King Qin's camp. When he saw Caiwei, there was a lot of awe on his face.

"Miss, this is a letter written to you by His Highness the King of Qin!"

The waiter handed over a neatly folded letter with both hands, hesitated for a moment, and took out ten taels of silver from his arms, "This is the silver that the King of Qin awarded to Xiaofei. I don't dare to keep it privately, so I came here to hand it over." To the girl."

Caiwei took the letter and said with a smile: "Since it's a reward for you, just keep it and go ahead!"

"Hey, hey, it's..."

The waiter nodded and bowed, picked up the money, and went away happily.

Caiwei closed the door and opened the letter that smelled of ink. All she saw was the large characters written with dragons and phoenixes, written clearly through the back of the paper, with golden hooks and iron strokes, giving people a strong and reliable feeling. It says: If you get a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?
