The shopkeeper knew that Wei Liao was the deputy commander of the Heavenly Wolf Guard and a celebrity in front of the emperor, so he would definitely not be able to provoke him.

No matter how angry he was in his heart, he didn't dare to show it.

But he can't keep such a precious cookbook and don't want it. After all, whoever has a unique cookbook these days must be hiding it, and no one will sell it unless it has to.

If he misses this store today, it will be difficult to encounter such good things in the future.

The shopkeeper could only be cruel and said to Yu Wei.

"I'll pay five hundred and twelve taels to buy your recipe."

Before Yu Weiwei could speak, Wei Liao said loudly upstairs.

"I will give out six hundred taels!"

The shopkeeper almost couldn't bring it up in this breath, the hatred in his heart!

This guy must be serious about making trouble!

But taking into account the identity of the other party, the shopkeeper can't say anything, he can only swallow his anger.

"I'll give you six hundred and twelve taels."

Even if their restaurant business is booming, more than 600 taels of silver is not a small sum for them. He is only doing it first, and then he has to ask the owner for instructions.

He now hopes that Wei Liao will stop raising the price.

It's a pity that Wei Liao couldn't make him do as he wished.

"My lord, I will pay eight hundred taels."

This time, one hundred and ninety taels were added, and the price was so high that the shopkeeper could not bear it.

The shopkeeper only felt his temples throbbing.

He pinched his forehead and asked through gritted teeth.

"What are you doing wrong with these eight hundred taels? Why do you have to spend the little ones here?"

Wei Liao smiled lazily.

"It's the same sentence, a thousand pieces of gold can't buy you happy!"

The shopkeeper couldn't, so he could only bite the bullet and increase the price: "I will pay 812 taels."

After quoting the price, he immediately raised his head to look at Wei Liao on the second floor, and pleaded with both hands.

"Please don't increase the price. We are a small business, but we can't stand your price."

There were many people coming and going at the entrance of the restaurant, and many of them liked to watch the fun. When the shopkeeper and Wei Liao started to bargain, many people stopped to watch.

There was a circle of people at this moment, and they didn't think it was a big deal to watch the fun, and they all shouted at Wei Liao upstairs.

"Hurry up and bid! Don't be cowardly!"

Wei Liao lived up to expectations and raised an index finger: "One thousand taels."

The shopkeeper's body swayed, and he almost fainted.

One thousand taels, which is almost the profit of their restaurant for a month.

Ask him to take out a month's profit to buy a cookbook. If he can make it back later, it's fine, but what if he can't make it back? This responsibility has to be borne by him.

The problem is that he can't afford it!

After all, he is just a part-time worker, with such great authority.

The onlookers were still shouting, urging the shopkeeper to increase the price quickly.

The shopkeeper held his forehead, pretending to be uncomfortable, and quietly winked at the guy beside him.

The guy understood and immediately stepped forward to support him.

"Boss, what's the matter with you?"

Shopkeeper: "I have a really bad headache, you help me in for a while."

Seeing that he was about to slip away, the onlookers booed one after another, laughing at him for being too cowardly.

The shopkeeper just pretended he didn't hear it, smeared oil on the soles of his feet and left here quickly.

Seeing that one of the parties involved had already left, the crowd of onlookers knew that there was no fun to watch, so they also dispersed as birds and beasts.

Yu Weiyi looked up at Wei Liao on the second floor and asked.

"Are you really going to pay a thousand taels for my cookbook?"

Wei Liao asked, "What? Are you still afraid that I won't be able to pay?"

In order to prove that he was rich, he immediately took out a stack of silver bills and waved it at Yu curling.

The breeze blew the banknotes.

Yu Weiwei didn't expect that he was really here, and was quite puzzled in his heart.

"Why did you buy my cookbook?"

Wei Liao took a sip of wine and said with a chuckle, "Why do you care what I bought? Come on, you can quickly send me the recipe."

Yu curling was too lazy to look for him, she was going to ask Ling Hai to help her bring the recipe upstairs.

But at this moment, a young man in a azure blue gown ran over quickly, and he shouted at Yu curling.

"Wait a minute!"

Yu Weiwei looked at him: "Who are you?"

The man in the blue shirt bowed his hands to her, and his attitude was very polite.

"Xiafu's surname is Gongsun, and he runs a restaurant in the city. Recently, he was worried about developing new dishes. He heard that someone was selling recipes, so he hurried over here. Is your recipe still available? Can you sell it to Zaixia?"

Yu Weiwei stretched out her finger, pointed to Wei Liao on the second floor, and said.

"He has just offered a thousand taels for my cookbook."

The man in the blue shirt said immediately, "I can give two thousand taels!"

Yu Weiwei was taken aback, this person doubled the price directly, and he was too rich!

Wei Liao upstairs was very dissatisfied.

"What do you mean? Do you understand that everything comes first and then comes later? I have already bought this cookbook, and you can take it with you wherever it is cooler!"

The man in the blue shirt was not afraid of Wei Liao at all.

He said slowly: "Business is about clearing money and goods. Since you haven't paid, it means that the business has not been completed. At this time, it is reasonable for me to ask for a purchase."

Wei Liao sneered.

"Okay, since you insist on robbing me, then I won't be polite to you, I'll give you three thousand taels!"

The man in the blue shirt stretched out a hand: "Five thousand taels."

Wei Liao: "Eight thousand taels!"

The man in the blue shirt: "Ten thousand taels!"

The melon-eating crowd who had dispersed had gathered again at this moment.

When they heard the number of 10,000 taels, they couldn't help but take a deep breath.

This is an exorbitant price!

What kind of unique recipe is it that can sell this amount? !

Yu Weiwei was also surprised.

Before she came, she had already calculated that her cookbook would only sell for seven or eight hundred taels at most. If Wei Liao hadn't made a random price tag just now, she wouldn't have been able to buy more than a thousand taels of her cookbook.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, someone shouted 10,000 taels in one breath!

The price is outrageous.

Wei Liao put the jug on the table next to it and said loudly.

"I'll pay 12,000 taels!"

Isn't that just a price hike? Come on then, if he admits defeat today, he is the grandson!

Yu curled up and looked at him: "Are you crazy?"

That's 12,000 taels. No matter how rich he is, he wouldn't waste it like that, right? !

The man in the blue shirt was genuine.

"Five thousand taels."

Everyone was dumbfounded now.

Actually, the price is still increasing.

Wei Liao slapped the fence: "Twenty thousand taels!"

The man in the blue shirt: "Twenty-three thousand taels."

Wei Liao: "Twenty-five thousand taels."

At this time, the onlookers were speechless. They all looked at these two big money quietly, and there was an idea in their minds——

Are these two sick?

If you are not sick, why would you spend tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy a little-known cookbook? !

Yu Qiuwei couldn't listen anymore.

She interrupted their bids.

"Stop howling!"
