“That’s right, Third Aunt. You can’t hide anything from me. Whether or not my

daughter can get a good ranking depends on you.”

“You little girl.” Madam Liu smiled.

Most people were kind.

However, Madam Cao already knew some of Ye Muyu’s recipes.

Perhaps it was because she was tricked by Ye Muyu before, but she felt that Ye Muyu’s ability was not simple.

Cao Juan of the Cao family wanted Ye Muyu to divorce Chu Heng. In order to appease her daughter, the Eldest Madam of the Cao family asked someone to inquire about Ye Muyu and Chu Heng.

After asking around, she did hear some news.

She found out the recipe for Ye Muyu’s fish with pickled cabbages.

In fact, this news was very easy to find out. The most popular dish in the county’s Fragrance Restaurant was fish with pickled cabbages.

Because there was a limited number of pickled cabbages, there was also a limited number of the dish.

However, the high price of one tael of silver per serving left people speechless.

The people from other villages did not know about the situation of the fish with pickled cabbages, but the people of Xingshui Village knew.

Madam Cao also knew that Madam Liu did not hide whatever gifts from Ye Muyu every time she received them. In addition, Madam Zhang deliberately fawned over her, so everyone in the village knew about Ye Muyu’s filial piety and superb cooking skills.

The Cao family asked around and guessed that Ye Muyu was the one who sold the recipe.

A serving of fish with pickled cabbages cost one tael of silver. One had to know that a string of money was only 1,000 copper coins, so one tael of silver could be exchanged for 1,500 copper coins.

Naturally, silver was much more valuable than copper.

Then how much was the recipe for this pickled fish? It should be at least a few strings of money.

If they could find out the recipes of Ye Muyu’s other dishes and sell them, they would earn a lot of money, right?

Although the Cao family’s idea was a little shameless, they could not help but feel envious after seeing Ye Muyu earning so much. Naturally, they also thought of selling her recipes.

Ye Muyu would not lose anything.

They could exchange for a lot of money to buy jewelry and silk.

When there was enough temptation, a person’s bottom line would drop again and again.

Unfortunately, doing business was not that simple.

“Madam Yun, do you want to come and teach tea arts? I think your and Third Sister-in-law’s tea arts are similar. Third Sister-in-law is very busy and hasn’t gone out these days. I don’t know what she’s doing. Why don’t we leave this job to the younger generation? Us old women are getting old and it’s easy for our eyes to become blurry. We can’t compare to when we were young.” The moment Madam Cao opened her mouth, she had two plans.

She wanted Madam Liu to not block her way, but she also wanted the recipe for pickled vegetables.

The corners of Chu Liushi’s mouth twitched. She wasn’t surprised by Cao Shi’s righteous and greedy words, but she was very unhappy in her heart.

“Sister-in-law, you’re right. When people are old, they can’t compare to when they were young. However, I’m still fine. I’m still considered young. Otherwise, I’m afraid I can’t do anything at home.” Madam Liu retorted with a smile. She even had an expression that was as if she was saying, “So, you know your place.”

“Third Sister-in-law, how can you say that? Everyone works hard at home. How would there be an age where one can’t do anything?” Madam Cao’s face darkened when Madam Liu implied that she was old. She did not know what was wrong with Madam Liu She had never seen her protect Madam Ye before.

It was because Madam Ye was really capable!

As expected, she was never a good person!

Madam Liu smiled faintly. ‘Well, my Ah Heng was worried that we would suffer, so he specially bought a servant for us. I told him that there was no need, but the child was too filial, so there was nothing we could do. Since I don’t have to worry about the children, I’m more free now..”
