TFWYH – Chapter 35 Amazing Taste

Tang Wan didn’t overthink it. Seeing Manager Xu bring over a steaming bowl of ginger tea—the key being that it was steaming hot—she immediately took a small sip.

As the hot tea went down, the bloating and pain in her lower abdomen did ease significantly.

Hot water really does help!

Tang Wan thought to herself as she sipped slowly, and her complexion noticeably improved.

Yu Ziqing: …

He really wanted to ask Tang Wan, “Are you even a woman?”

Shouldn’t she know her own condition?

Why was she still running around like this?

Of course, he didn’t know this was Tang Wan’s first time living as a woman. She knew about certain things women went through, but she had never experienced them herself. So naturally, she didn’t recognize the signs right away.

She’d just assumed she was ill and planned to examine her body more thoroughly after going home!

As for Ling Yue, she was even more clueless—too young and inexperienced to know anything about menstrual symptoms.

Before long, Ling Yue returned with several dishes in hand:

Stir-fried pork, twice-cooked pork, braised fish, Dongpo pork—every dish had been taught to her by Tang Wan.

Though only in theory.

All four dishes were aromatic and enticing. The moment the door opened, their fragrance wafted straight into the room.

Yu Ziqing was stunned for a moment, then immediately stood up to look at the four dishes.

Manager Xu’s face was full of pleasant surprise:

“The smell is incredible!”

“And the color is excellent too.” Yu Ziqing twirled his fan, just looking at the dishes made him hungry.

Ling Yue had been nervous, afraid they wouldn’t be satisfied.

But seeing their reaction now, she felt a huge wave of relief—and grew much more confident.

“Young Master Yu, Manager Xu, please taste and see how they are!”

There was no need for further prompting—once the dishes were on the table, both men picked up their chopsticks right away.

After tasting, both of their eyes lit up!

Manager Xu:

“Wonderful! This bean paste truly makes the dishes taste amazing!”

Yu Ziqing:

“Fresh, flavorful, with a sweet aftertaste. Truly excellent!”
He then turned to ask:
“Miss Ling, how much do you intend to sell the bean paste for?”

“Uh…” Ling Yue looked toward Tang Wan.

Without hesitation, Tang Wan replied:

“Seventy wen per jar.”

Ling Yue: !!
Big sis-in-law, that’s too much!

Yu Ziqing paused, then chuckled in disbelief:

“This tiny jar for seventy wen? Lady Ling, do you take me for a fool?”

“Don’t overthink it. One dish only needs one spoonful. One jar can last for ten years.”

“…”

“If you buy fifty jars, I’ll also give you three recipes.”

“!”

“Only my family knows how to make this bean paste. The price is fixed at seventy wen!”

“!!”

Yu Ziqing and Manager Xu exchanged glances but didn’t say anything for a moment.

Truth be told, they both knew that by Tang Wan’s reasoning, it wasn’t a bad deal.

First of all, the shelf life was long, and if one spoon made one dish, then this small jar could be stretched across many dishes.

More importantly, just the recipes alone were worth it!

You had to understand—a single good recipe could make a restaurant rich. And Tang Wan was offering three!

But Yu Ziqing was a businessman, and he thought further ahead.

After pondering briefly, he said:

“Seventy wen is acceptable, but three recipes aren’t enough—I want five. And you must agree to supply Drunken Immortal Restaurant long-term, and not sell to any other establishment.”

“No!” Tang Wan rejected instantly without even thinking.

Yu Ziqing’s face darkened, but before he could speak, Tang Wan added:

“We plan to open our own shop in the future—we’ll need to use the bean paste ourselves.”

Yu Ziqing was startled by that.

Then suddenly, he laughed:

“You plan to open your own shop?”
