"Just taking a stroll."
"Oh." Mrs. Qian Zhang enthusiastically suggested, "Why don't you come over to my house for a visit?"
Su Qingyue very well knew what Mrs. Qian Zhang was up to. All she wanted was the recipe for the stir-fried tasty fern. "No, thank you."
"No worries…" Mrs. Qian Zhang attempted to pull her in. Su Qingyue quickly stepped back, "It's getting dark, I haven't prepared dinner at home yet. I need to head back to cook soon."
"Well then, as you please." Mrs. Qian Zhang forced a smile, "Wife of the Xiao Family, could you tell me how to reduce the bitterness of the fern?"
"If I were able to tell you, I would have done so long ago." Su Qingyue didn't want to be entangled with her, she flatly said, "I sold the stir-fried fern recipe to the Rich Source Tavern in town. They paid me silver taels and we agreed that I would not sell stir-fried tasty fern anymore, nor would I disclose the recipe."
"You are clearly just making excuses not to tell the recipe ..."
