So the matter proceeded as Qiao Xiaomai had imagined. She went to find Tong Sanlang and let him inquire about Tingfeng Pavilion.
However, at this stage, she had a new idea.
Her relationship with Tong Sanlang was quite cold right now, like a man who would not marry a woman who refuses to be his wife. Nonetheless, she would have to offer him a reward for her errands.
She took out the recipe for maltose, which was to be Tong Sanlang's reward for finding Tingfeng Pavilion.
Another recipe.
Qiao Xiaomai's family had built its fortune on these recipes.
The Zhang family, who originally had a deep misunderstanding of Qiao Xiaomai, accepted the recipe willingly when they realized they could not use this matter to facilitate a marriage between Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang.
Common people don't typically make maltose. It is sold in town and is cheaper than cane sugar.
