"If the shopkeeper is willing to part with the land, I have a way to move the bank's deposit. I wonder if storekeeper's feelings are of interest."

"Why don't you tell me about it?"

"For retail investors with different amounts of money, different interest can be given to stimulate everyone to come to the bank to deposit money." Tian Xiaomeng said.

Young Master Fanfan and Manager Dong looked at each other.

The girl had a point, and they thought they could try.

When Tian Xiaomeng came out, she had a smile on her face and a contract appeared in her hands. It was the Tong Yuan Bank that was willing to take out half of the rent to Tian Xiaomeng.

Su Yuzhe's face turned dark as he looked at the contract in Tian Xiaomeng's hands.

"How did they agree?" Su Yuzhe looked at Tian Xiaomeng sharply.

"They agreed after I told them a way to let the bank store more money." In short, her style was to find ways to get the other party to agree to anything that would benefit her.

"I didn't expect you to be so capable." Su Yuzhe didn't know how Tian Xiaomeng had done it, but she had done it in a bandit fashion.

"Even so, the shop has been set. How much money do you want from Cheng Ang? When can it open?"

"I reckon it'll be at least a month later." At first, he was not familiar with this place, so he thought it would be a bit slow.

Su Yuzhe was able to accept the timing.

When they reached the biggest restaurant in the county, Su Yuzhe looked at Tian Xiaomeng who seemed to be secretly swallowing her saliva as she snorted, "Go in and have lunch."

Tian Xiaomeng smiled coyly. "Sure."

"Honored guests, what would you like to eat?" The waiter came up to welcome them.

Su Yuzhe glanced at Tian Meng and said, "You order it, I'll do whatever you want."

Tian Xiaomeng nodded to herself. She didn't expect this man to be such a gentleman.

"What's the signature dish in your restaurant?" Tian Xiaomeng, who hadn't ordered any dishes in the ancient times, put on an act and asked.

"Our restaurant's main dish is called 'Flower Chicken', 'Fat Bull', and 'Yu Yue and Long Men'." The waiter answered three dishes.

"Then I'll take these three. Add in some vegetables and a lighter soup." Tian Xiaomeng ordered the dishes.

Su Yuzhe's mouth twitched.

He had never seen anyone who came to the restaurant to eat without a penny on their body. How could they act so nonchalantly like this? He really wanted to know what this woman's backing was.

Tian Xiaomeng had been in the black and white together for many years. Naturally, she could use her natural aura. With or without silver taels on her, it didn't have much effect on her.

Besides, there was no need to worry about not having enough money to pay if there was a rich master sitting across from them.

The restaurant's serving speed was very fast.

About a quarter of an hour later, all the dishes were served.

"Lady Tian, do you want to drink?" Su Yuzhe smiled.

"No, no, just some rice." Wine was a good thing, but unfortunately, her body wasn't the owner's. She didn't know if she could drink, so she decided to give up and said, "Young Master Su, please."

Yu Yue and Long Men were just steamed fish. As for the fat oxen, they were boiled beef. The taste of the chicks was not bad.

The taste of the fish was also good.

It was just that he felt like there was something missing.

In a restaurant across the street, a waiter took a notice and went out to post it. Many people gathered at the entrance to watch.

The two restaurants were separated by a street. Su Yuzhe was sitting on the second floor near the window. He could only see the words written in red paper and black characters, but he couldn't see what was written on it.

Two guests swaggered up after reading the notice.

"I'm afraid that the owner of this Yu Xiang Inn has gone crazy. Those who can provide new dishes for the restaurant will be rewarded with 10 taels of silver and many people will have to sign up. The kitchen of this Yu Xiang Inn is going to be crushed." Guest A said.

"No, you have to write the name of the dish first and then prepare it. After the shopkeeper sees it, he feels that he can take you to the kitchen to teach the chef how to cook, or he can cook it himself. After everyone has tried it and felt that it is possible, he would give you the silver." Guest B understood a little bit more.

"If that's the case, then it seems that not everyone can obtain these 10 silver coins." The guest sighed and wrote a menu, which was hard for a lot of illiterate people.

"That's right." That was 10 taels of silver, not something anyone could afford.

Besides, other than some wealthy families, most farmers would find it hard to eat meat. Other than cooking vegetables, they might not even know how to eat meat.

Tian Xiaomeng stopped eating with her chopsticks.

His gaze shifted to the opposite door. It was bustling indeed, with quite a few people surrounding the area. However, there were very few people who signed up and there were many who came to watch the show.

Su Yuzhe saw the flames in her eyes. He subconsciously asked, "Do you want to write a menu for the other side?"

"I think I can give it a try." She had come from the modern world, and many of the modern world's dishes were not even found in ancient times. If she were to write them now, they would definitely be new dishes.

"Are you sure you will?" Su Yuzhe looked at her in confusion.

Tian Xiaomeng rubbed her nose and said, "I know the method. I can let someone else try to cook it. Anyway, whether the taste is good or not is up to the shopkeeper to decide."

In modern times, she had a boyfriend. For a while, he wanted to show that she had the potential to be a gentle woman, so he spent some time reading the menu. However, the man left her in the end, so she gave up on the idea of washing his hands and making the broth for him.

She remembered quite a few of the recipes that were placed in her mind. If they were written for someone else, they would definitely be used to create delicious dishes.

"You're just a little girl from a ravine, where did all those weird thoughts come from?" Su Yuzhe looked at her strangely. To be honest, she really didn't look like a country girl.

"You look down on Shan Youzi?" Tian Xiaomeng cast a sidelong glance at him. What's wrong with coming out of the ravine?

"Not really." Su Yuzhe blushed. He was indeed prejudiced.

"Ai, can you do me a favor?" Having eaten her fill, Tian Xiaomeng's eyes seemed eager to give it a try.

"What?" Su Yuzhe seemed to lose his mind as he looked at the woman's bright eyes.

"Can you help me write the menu?"

Su Yuzhe shook his head: "Write it yourself." In his opinion, Tian Xiaomeng knew so much that she couldn't possibly be illiterate. He wanted her to write it herself.

"I'll give you a share of the silver. Don't be so stingy, let's go." Tian Xiaomeng pulled him towards the door.

Being pulled like this by a girl, Su Yuzhe's body became stiff. He thought to himself, "Does this woman know that men and women shouldn't touch each other? If she were to touch a man's body, it would cause others to misunderstand."

"Young Master Su, let's go." The shopkeeper seemed to be very familiar with Su Yuzhe. He watched as Su Yuzhe was pulled down the stairs by a woman while looking at him with a ridiculing smile in his eyes.

Su Yuzhe looked at the shopkeeper and shouted, "Shopkeeper, are you buying the menu or not?" This woman actually pulled him to the other side to write a menu. If anyone saw how embarrassing it would be, even a menu would probably be accepted by a restaurant.

"Young Master Su, could it be that you have a new dish in your hands?"

"Of course there is. Just name a price. If you are satisfied, how much can you pay?" As businessmen, how could they not understand what Su Yuzhe meant? If he didn't want it here, then he would have to go to the other side.

"You two can sit down and talk. I guarantee that as long as the dishes are satisfactory, our Huibin Tavern will be willing to pay twice the price to the other side." Manager Zhang quickly invited Su Yuzhe and Tian Xiaomeng to sit.
