Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 172 Fighting

"Your Highness, the person you are meeting is here."

Xu Jinyu put down his hand and walked out to the hall.

Those dandy fathers have already arrived, along with Wei An.

Xu Jinyu raised his eyebrows and looked over, and Wei An mouthed the word "poor" to Xu Jinyu.

Xu Jinyu suddenly remembered that she had sold the secret recipe of glass and cement, and had spent all the cash in Wei An's hands.

Wei An only had his mother's dowry left in his hands, and they were all physical objects, so it was not convenient for Wei An to accept them as his mother's dowry.

All of those playboys' fathers were here, and there were even a few more. Xu Jinyu felt that they looked familiar at first glance. He should have seen them in the court room before, but he couldn't tell who they were.

Xu Jinyu looked over, and several people immediately said to Xu Jinyu with a smile on their faces: "Master Xu, I heard that you want to sell the secret recipe, so I came here specially. I hope Master Xu will not be angry."

"Master Xu, I also want to buy the secret recipe."

Xu Jinyu smiled and nodded.

[Angry? How could I be angry? The more people come, the happier I am.]

All the officials present straightened their backs immediately.

But the next moment...

[But I need to check the origins of these people. There can't be people from the deceased family among them.]

As soon as Xu Jinyu expressed his thoughts, several officials below immediately broke out in sweat.

I was struggling in my heart whether or not to confess to Lord Xu.

Before they could struggle to a conclusion, Xu Jinyu's voice continued to be heard.

[First, Lei Shou's father, Lei Xincheng, the Jingzhao Yin, immediately reported to the emperor when he heard that I wanted to sell the secret recipe and didn't need money.]

[The emperor asked him to bring back a secret recipe. The emperor's family didn't have any extra food. Okay, I'll leave the best secret recipe for the emperor.]

【Guaranteed to be the best! 】

But no matter how Lei Xincheng listened to this voice, he felt that something was not right. Could it be that Lord Xu was speaking in a sarcastic way?

[Then there is Qin Nian, the consort of Princess Xincheng. He is an official of the Taichang Temple, in charge of clan rituals, and he also came here to buy the secret recipe under the emperor's instruction.]

[Hey! Can the Prince Consort be an official? ]

Xu Jinyu was puzzled, then flipped through the pages again.

[You can be an official, but you can’t be an important official in the court. You can only be in some insignificant positions. ]

Officials: Sir Xu, what a truth you are telling.

Qin Nian: Everyone knows about this, so there’s no need to say it out loud, thank you!

[Don’t you just want a secret recipe? Arrange, I will definitely give you a good secret recipe. ]

Qin Nian and Lei Xincheng had the same idea: the more they listened, the more something seemed wrong.

[There was also an official from the Ministry of Revenue who was also appointed by the emperor. The emperor appointed three of them, which was not too many.]

Xu Jinyu nodded with satisfaction.

"Before you take over the secret recipe, I have something to say. You must understand that if you take over my secret recipe, you will fall out with the aristocratic family."

Anyone who could come to Princess Tai'an's Mansion had thought it over carefully, and naturally understood the consequences of taking over the secret recipe from Xu Jinyu.

Lei Xincheng clasped his fists and said respectfully: "Everyone understands what they are going to face. How can an official of Daqian collude with aristocratic families?"

Lei Xincheng's words were extremely firm, and if Xu Jinyu hadn't had the system, she would have almost believed it.

[Isn't it for promotion and wealth? ]

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Lei Xincheng coughed heart-wrenchingly and looked at Xu Jinyu with resentment: Lord Xu, we are all acquaintances, please at least give us some face.

Seeing Lei Xincheng's miserable state, Jinbao's father, An Ningbo, came up to rescue Lei Xincheng with a conscience.

"Master Xu, I have been coveting the secret recipe in the Tianji Pavilion for a long time, but I am short of money. Now that Master Xu is going to give me the secret recipe for free, of course I will come."

"I wonder what secret recipe Lord Xu has come up with?"

"Master Xu, you are so generous. You only asked for 30% of the profit."

When these people interrupted Xu Jinyu, she didn't want to divert the profit. The corner of her mouth twitched: "Or I want 40%."

The person who spoke covered his mouth with his hand, fearing that Xu Jinyu would really take 40% of the profit.

"Okay, let's cut to the chase. Let's start with the first secret recipe, the frosting secret recipe. Who wants it?"

"I!"

"I!"

"I!"

·······

Almost everyone wants it.

Frosted sugar is a rare commodity among rare commodities in Daqian. One ounce of white sugar is worth one ounce of silver.

The total annual production of sugar in the country is only 100 kilograms. If you want to have a bite of sugar, you have to see if you can buy it.

Jinbao's father, An Ningbo, asked Xu Jinyu in a low voice: "I wonder how much the secret recipe of frosted sugar can produce in a year?"

Xu Jinyu smiled slightly: "My secret recipe is to turn brown sugar into frosted sugar. Theoretically, the amount of brown sugar produced in Daqian in a year can equal the amount of white sugar after deducting the loss."

As soon as Xu Jinyu finished speaking, Earl An Ning stood up excitedly and said, "Sir Xu, please give me the recipe for this frosting candy. I am willing to give you 40% of the profit."

"I'm willing to give 50% and hire all the workers as women." Lei Xincheng also stood up.

"Master Xu, I am willing to pay 60% of the profits."

"Stop!" Xu Jinyu stretched out his hand and stopped everyone from fighting.

"Don't fight over it. The secret recipes I have here are all good stuff. There's nothing to fight over for a piece of frosting."

"Mr. An Ning, right? Can you promise to pay the workers one tael of silver every month? If you can, I'll give you the secret recipe of this frosting candy."

"can!"

Lord Anning's face flushed and he agreed very quickly.

"Okay, let's sign the contract, and you'd better not plan on breaking it."

[If you dare to breach the contract, I will report it to the emperor! ]

An Ningbo smiled happily: "I dare not! I dare not!"

It's not like I'm tired of living.

Everyone looked on with envy as Lord An Ning and Lord Xu signed the contract.

"Next is the secret recipe for making ice."

"Ice can still be made!"

Qin Nian, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, lost his voice.

"If I say we can make it, we can make it." Xu Jinyu smiled.

"I want this!"

The people standing in the hall rushed to speak.

"Row!"

Xu Jinyu doesn't care.

"Next, brewing."

········

One by one, Xu Jinyu's secret recipes were handed over to the right people.

As soon as these people got the secret recipe, they left, and in the end only Lei Xincheng, the official from the Ministry of Revenue, and Wei An were left.

Wei An stayed because he knew Xu Jinyu would definitely leave him something good.

As for Lei Xincheng, Lei Xincheng felt that this was because the secret recipe Xu Jinyu left to His Majesty was important enough.

"Master Lei, I left you a great secret recipe?"

Thinking about the priceless secret recipes I just heard, Lord Xu didn't even say they were precious, so what about mine...

Lei Xincheng's heart was beating like a drum.

How good must it be for Lord Xu to say that it is a secret recipe for something good?
