Collectors in Food Captives

Chapter 62 Buyout
"Old man, do you want to continue eating?"

Old man Jun held Zhang Wei's hand without any sense of frustration after losing the game.

Attitude 180-degree turn.

"Little friend, you are amazing! I have never seen such exquisite cooking in my life."

"Stop it!"

Zhang Wei pushed the old man away and spread out a palm.

"I would like to bet and admit defeat."

"Admit defeat, admit defeat! But Xiaoyou said that this is the first time he has entered the city, so there must be no place to work. I don't dare to say anything else at Wangyuezhai. The whole Northland ranks first."

"No need."

Zhang Wei directly refused, the big glacier is quite interesting.

If you are a chef, you can't finish the shit all day, it's boring.

Zhang Wei continued: "Then what is the price of my recipe?"

"This... This recipe is too complicated, few chefs can complete it, and it is useless for idlers. If there is such a skill, the value of this recipe is not great."

The old man was telling the truth, and Zhang Wei knew it himself.

This recipe is more of a gimmick than an actual effect.

The old man glanced at the manager and said, "The borrowing fee can be set at 35 Baileys."

"What? 35!!!"

"What's the fuss, that is, this recipe is not very practical, otherwise, it won't be worth a thousand dollars!"

The old man continued: "If it is borrowed in the library, it will be widely circulated and lose the value of a unique product. If it is a secret recipe, the price is marked at 3500 million, which I think is already very cheap."

Soul of Soup's Consonance and Five Poultry Soup is a secret recipe.

This is the only one in the world.

The number of people who will meet is no more than one hand, and the rarest is the most expensive, so the value will naturally double.

"The library has two borrowing methods, one is sharing and the other is buying out."

"In terms of sharing, every time someone borrows, the profit is half. After 50 years, the copyright will belong to Shuge."

"If you buy it out, this recipe has nothing to do with you, and you can get a one-time profit..."

Zhang Wei asked: "If you buy it out...how much can you pay?"

Old man Jun replied: "4000 million! If Damoshuge doesn't want it, I can buy it on behalf of Wangyuezhai!"

Zhang Wei was taken aback.

Unexpectedly, a nonsense recipe can be sold for such a high price.

Zhang Wei even had the urge to write another ten or eight parts of it casually.

Easily four or five small goals.

"Forget it, too much money is meaningless."

Zhang Wei does not lack the means to get money now, he is quite Buddhist.

"I choose to buy out."

Old man Jun glanced at the manager.

The manager did not hesitate at all, and said firmly: "Based on the delicacy of this dish, 4000 million Damoshuge has been released! Sir, if you still plan to sell recipes in the future, you should consider us first, and we will give you the highest price in the industry." !"

"You wait here for a while, I'll go back and get the money!"

After finishing speaking, the manager of Shuge turned around and ran away, as if someone was robbing him.

Back to the thatched cottage.

Old man Jun took out a small sandalwood box carefully and carefully, and there were about dozens of dried plant stems the size of soybeans in the box.

"This is one of the rare treasures of the Northland, 'Breaking the Clouds and Watching the Moon'. It is the second best tea among all the teas in the Northland. I don't even want to drink it on weekdays, so I will share it with my friends."

Zhang Wei was not surprised by the change in the old man's attitude.

He said slightly jokingly: "Bribe me? Let me tell you, the bet between us is absolutely the same."

"Look at what you said, the old man is the kind of person who doesn't believe what he says!"

"Come on!"

The old man called his servant: "Prepare a copy of all the seasonings in the kitchen and pack them up. Also, go to the auction house immediately and ask if there are any endangered ingredients recently. No matter how much you pay, get them back for me!"

The servant wondered: "Others are easy to handle, there are only 45 grams of salt essence left, and the Northland chef's feast is about to be held, this amount..."

The production of salt essence is rare, but the consumption is extremely large.

Most of the high-end dishes only need to add a little, and the taste can be half a level immediately.

Fortunately, the four major salt merchants have been operating for hundreds of years, and they have a guaranteed supply for each store, which stabilizes the price of salt.

Moreover, the price of salt essence is rarely revised, which can be said to be very conscientious.

"This……"

Old man Jun gritted his teeth and said, "Take out ten grams and put it on this little friend."

When Zhang Wei heard that Yan Jing had a big head, that thing produced more than ten kilograms a day, making the right side of the hall full.

However, salt is such a thing that at most one can eat a little in a day, and if there is too much, it is really panic.

Zhang Wei waved his hand, and immediately said: "Forget about the salt essence, I don't need that shit, just add something else to me."

Old man Jun was taken aback.

What is the background of this guy, and the scarce salt essence is said to be a bad thing, even the four major salt merchants themselves would not dare to say such a thing.

Maybe, just don't want to win people's love?
Mr. Jun glanced at Zhang Wei gratefully, and immediately said to the servant: "Hurry up, I'll put more seasonings except salt essence!"

Make good tea.

Mr. Jun filled Zhang Wei's glass.

"Pull the clouds and watch the moon, please taste."

Zhang Wei licked the tip of his tongue lightly, and immediately praised.

“Good tea!”

Fresh and peaceful, with a long aftertaste, it is definitely the best tea!
Compared with it, the Dahongpao in Nine Dragons, Puer Jinguagong, West Lake Longjing, and Huangshan Maofeng are all rubbish.

Those in the previous life were more or less attached to the premium price of out-of-print rare products, but the excellence of this tea is really different!
"nice! You love it."

Zhang Wei asked: "This top product is only the second in the Northland, so how strong is the number one?"

"This is the first!"

When it comes to tea, old man Jun is in high spirits.

"A hundred years ago, someone took an airship to the Kingdom of Clouds and found a dying tea tree there. After transplanting it back, they tried every means to bring it back to life."

"Unfortunately, the yield of this unknown dead tree is only a few tens of grams a year, and the supply exceeds the demand."

"Some time ago at the Beidi Auction, a rich woman beat the crowd with a price of 500 million Baileys, only to get a mere 45 grams."

Speaking of this, old man Jun looked sad.

For a person who loves tea very much, it is indeed very uncomfortable to miss this kind of treasure.

The price of 500 million Baileys is not a small burden for old man Jun.

It's still too extravagant to just satisfy the appetite.

Old man Jun poured the tea himself, and inquired without any trace: "Aside from studying cooking, what other hobbies do you have?"

"Except for cooking and eating... nothing else, reading or exercising."

"If it's a special hobby, maybe you like to collect some out-of-print ingredients?"

For Zhang Wei, as long as it can be stored once, the ingredients will stay in the collection hall forever.

So no matter how advanced the food is, it is like a ball to Zhang Wei.

But the out-of-print ingredients are different. Although they are not necessarily expensive, they will never meet again after they are lost.

For Zhang Wei, who has a serious collection habit, this lost ingredient will sooner or later become a white moonlight.

It's like an account full of skins, except for a cheap early skin, but it's so hard to die, that skin is limited!
Looking at the missing corner, there is a kind of unpleasant feeling like a stick in the throat.

"Out-of-print ingredients?"

"The old man has counted."

Old man Jun smiled wretchedly, and it seemed that he was holding some bad water.
