"State your terms," Zhang Xiaoying wasn't proactive.
"If I buy your cookbook, you must guarantee not to sell it to a second party, and that includes not allowing your son to work as a chef in any other restaurant. Can you agree to that?"
"If I sell it to you, does that mean I can't even make them at my own home?"
"Of course you can, what I mean is, you can't pass it on to others. We're talking business here, and when I buy the cookbook, we need to draw up a document to ensure that both parties are protected, right? This is to avoid the situation where someday your son claims that the cookbook was stolen from your family, resulting in a lawsuit."
Zhang Xiaoying: "..."

She hadn't planned on teaching the Xu family these home-style dishes anyway.
To tell the truth, an experienced chef would figure out how to make them after just a few tastes.
