299, Settling Accounts Clearly (7 More Updates)
Xie Zhinuan found the recipe for the medicine pill, copied it down, and handed it to Li Hengyi.
“You’re just giving it to me like this?” Li Hengyi asked.
“Mmm, you gave me wine, I give you the medicine pill recipe, oh right, do you want the Detoxification Pill recipe as well? I also have a Detoxification Pill recipe here. Now I don’t understand medicine, so I’ll let you use it first. Later when I learn it, I will try to see if I can develop it myself. Anyway, you use it first. There’s no need for us to be so clear-cut about these things!” Xie Zhinuan said with a smile, while taking a piece of pastry to eat.
The pastry melted in her mouth, delicious.
“Where did you buy this pastry? It’s so tasty!”
Xie Zhinuan thought carefully about the taste, “It wasn’t bought from outside, was it!”
“No, guess who made it?”
Xie Zhinuan shook her head.
Li Hengyi laughed lightly, “Think carefully!”
“Aunt Chen?”
“Xiaoyue?” Xie Zhinuan suddenly blurted out.
Li Hengyi nodded, “She said she learned it from someone, but this pastry, not just any common person can make it!”
“I cannot make it either!” Xie Zhinuan said.
First, it was limited by equipment, and secondly, there was no recipe.
She hadn’t expected that Xiaoyue would send pastries to Li Hengyi.

Yet she didn’t receive any on her end.Could it be…
Xie Zhinuan looked at Li Hengyi.
Young Master Li was handsome and incredibly powerful. She understood Xiaoyue’s desire to fish for information.
She just didn’t expect Xiaoyue to be so eager.
“Why are you looking at me?” Li Hengyi asked.
“…” Xie Zhinuan shook her head and put down the pastry.
Even though Xiaoyue made it, she would not eat it, no matter how good it was.
She feared she might be accidentally poisoned to death.
“With your restaurant doing so well, have you never thought of hiring a manager?” Li Hengyi asked.
“Of course, I’m planning to post a notice to hire a manager. Then I plan to add spicy shredded meat to the menu at the meat shop, as well as braised chicken, duck, and pork knuckles. That way, even if there is less pork, I won’t have to worry about bad business!” Xie Zhinuan explained, and added, “I’m also thinking of opening a noodle shop with braised meat noodles, braised chicken noodles, braised duck noodles, braised pig’s feet noodles, and selling meals too, like braised meat rice and such!”
Xie Zhinuan feared that Li Hengyi might not understand, so she specially found some rice paper to draw and show him.
It’s just that her drawing was truly an eyesore, unspeakably hideous.
“So, do you understand?” Xie Zhinuan asked.
Li Hengyi nodded, “I understand!” He added another phrase, “You will definitely make money this way!”
Xie Zhinuan nodded, took out five silver notes, and handed them to Li Hengyi, “Here, returning the silver I borrowed from you. Give me the Jade Pendant, and the IOU too!”
“…” Li Hengyi looked at the serious Xie Zhinuan.
He laughed helplessly, “Why are you always so serious, calculating everything so precisely!”
He ordered Yuanbao to bring over the Jade Pendant and the IOU.
Xie Zhinuan took the Jade Pendant and the IOU, chuckled lightly, “It’s good this way. Borrowing and repaying makes lending again not difficult. Besides, even sworn brothers should settle accounts clearly. There have been too many throughout history who have fallen out over money. I certainly do not hope that one day, you and I will fall out over silver!”
It would upset her.
So it’s better to keep some accounts clear.
“Right, about that manor, it was originally registered under my name…”
“That house, you can keep it in exchange for the Detoxification Pill recipe. And truth be told, I’m the one taking advantage of you!” Li Hengyi quickly said.
He was afraid that Xie Zhinuan would start calculating their debts again if they continued.
He had never met a girl as earnest as Xie Zhinuan.
“Well, alright, I’ll accept it. I’ll use the silver to buy another house to store Jiji Grass. Aunt Chen said that your manor in Xiaohe Village is filled with Jiji Grass. We should also start taking action. Yuan Liuwang is nowhere to be found, and he still hasn’t come looking for me!” Xie Zhinuan complained softly.
Her brows furrowed slightly.
She was so beautiful it was almost unreasonable, and especially endearing.
