As soon as Chu Ci finished speaking, the system's cold voice sounded in Yu Sheng's ears:
In view of the fact that the host's knife skills have been criticized many times, a new task is released:
[The cook cuts off the ox] How can the cook cut off the whole ox with one knife? There is no other skill than that, but you are familiar with it.
[Task Reward] The road to upgrade the inn is opened, and a physical card will be awarded.
[Task Punishment] If there is no progress within a year, the upgrade door will be closed indefinitely.
After hearing about the mission, Yu Sheng couldn't help but be stunned.
Regarding the way to upgrade the inn, the system never mentioned it. He spent the rest of his life searching for a way to find it, but he didn't expect it to be waiting for him here.
"Yes, yes, this is it." Zhou Jiuzhang affirmed after carefully examining it, "It's just that last time at the City Lord's Mansion, it was soup. It turns out it's called tofu."
He took a pair of chopsticks and eagerly picked up a small piece of tofu and put it into his mouth.
The soft and tender tofu once again evoked an unforgettable taste in him, and the mellow aroma of the sesame oil besides the tofu made him have a long aftertaste.
This is all thanks to the system, because Yu Sheng’s sesame oil is redeemed in the system.
Chu Ci and Bu Ju took off their chopsticks one after another. When Zhou Jiuzhang saw them, they were afraid that they would eat less, so they hurriedly picked up a large piece of tofu.
After chewing it, Zhou Jiuzhang said dissatisfiedly: "You should really practice your knife skills. The size and thickness are different. Not only are there differences between raw and cooked, but the taste is also difficult to penetrate."
"Already practicing." Yu Sheng said and looked up to see Aunt Ma walking in with her little grandson in her arms, followed by the third aunt from Li Laosan's family.
"Xiao Yu'er, let's see how your tofu is made." Aunt Ma said in a loud voice.
The folks in the town were very curious about making tofu from beans, and after tasting the deliciousness of tofu, they were even ready to go back and make it themselves.
Yu Sheng agreed, took a piece of "tofu" with chopsticks and fed it to his grandson's mouth, "Does it taste good?"
"It's delicious," said the little grandson, who had a bald head and only a small patch of hair on his forehead.
His father went into the mountains to pick some wild tea the year before last, and accidentally sold it for a big price in Yangzhou City. From then on, he got out of hand and only wanted to collect tea to exchange for money.
But the mountains and forests are the territory of monsters, so how could he get lucky every time, so he went into the mountains less than five times and never came back.
A year later, Aunt Ma's daughter-in-law remarried to Yangzhou City, leaving her grandson to be taken care of by Aunt Ma.
After exchanging a few words, Yu Sheng let Ye Zigao lead them to the backyard to grind tofu.
The tofu on the plate had already reached the bottom, and Zhou Jiuzhang, who had barely filled his stomach with some food, felt it was strange and followed him.
For the rest of her life, she and Chu Ci chatted all over the place, while not forgetting to choose the dishes.
Chu Ci looked around and saw wine jars on the shelves behind the counter. He pointed at it and said, "Shopkeeper..."
"It's always money." Yu Sheng said quickly. The majority of the inn's money now comes from the wine.
Chu Ci paused and said, "Have a jar." He was going to taste it first before talking.
Bai Gaoxing took a jar and poured it for them.
After Chu Ci took a sip, his thoughts fell into his stomach along with the wine, and he detected a weak spiritual power spreading to his limbs and bones.
He was already three qian strong, and he had expected the weakness of this spiritual power.
When it comes to wine, Bu Ju is an expert. Chu Ci saw him sipping it slowly and sipping it carefully.
After a long time, Bu Ju put down his wine bowl and said, "It is the best wine in Chenmu wine, and it is very profitable in Yangzhou City."
"Sell it to Yangzhou City?" Yu Sheng shook his head after receiving the affirmation, "If you don't sell it, I won't sell it."
Bu Ju advised: "Manager Yu, this jar of wine in the inn is only worth one guan, but in Yangzhou City, I can sell you at least three guan."
He remained indifferent for the rest of his life, "That won't work either. There aren't many cedar trees, just enough for the inn to do business."
Seeing his insistence, Bu Ju thought that he was right. In the huge city of Yangzhou, there were only cinnamon trees in the town, so not much wine could be brewed, so he gave up.
After a while, the dog ran in, followed by Aunt Ma's grandson, who was staring at its tail.
He walked to the long table, looked outside, and suddenly shouted: "Daddy, daddy."
"What?" When Yu Sheng looked up, he saw a gray shadow flashing across the street in front of the door, and Aunt Ma's grandson had already run towards the door.
Yu Sheng hurriedly followed and hugged his grandson in front of the door. When he looked around, he saw no one on the street.
Yu Sheng thought he was dazzled, so he looked down at his grandson and saw that he was also confused. But after the confusion passed, tears quickly wet his eyes, and he burst into tears.
"My dear grandson, what's wrong?" Aunt Ma ran out hurriedly when she heard the cry.
"He suddenly called Ma Ge just now." Yu Sheng said as he looked towards the shade of the street, thinking that perhaps Ma Ge Po'er had floated back.
Aunt Ma's little grandson sat sobbing in Aunt Ma's arms, pointing in the direction where the figure flashed just now, "Daddy."
Aunt Ma sighed, "Be good, don't cry."
Yu Sheng took a basket of soup dumplings from behind and comforted him in every possible way before coaxing him to sleep.
But just as this end was stable, something happened again at the other end.
Yu Sheng listened to the noise outside the stone bridge, and when he looked out, he saw Li Zheng and the others carrying a person running towards the inn.
"Quick, please call Miss Cao'er." Li Zheng stepped onto the stone bridge and greeted Yu Sheng.
When they came over, Yu Sheng saw that the person carrying Hu Jiu was a pork seller in the town, but everyone called him Pork Jiu.
On Hu Jiu's thigh, blood flowed non-stop, and a large piece of meat on the calf was pulled off, and the bones were clearly visible, which made Yu Sheng unbearable to look at it.
Cao'er asked someone to carry him to the backyard and asked, "How did he get hurt?"
Li Zhengdao: "When I was cleaning in the field, I was bitten by a big rat that came out of the bamboo forest."
"Why did the bamboo rats escape from the bamboo forest?" Yu Sheng was puzzled. They usually only move around in the bamboo forest.
Lifting Hu Jiu onto the makeshift table, Orion Li Laosan took a breath and said, "Who knew, I saw three or four of them in Qimulin today."
Uncle Shi worriedly asked: "Will something happen in the mountains again?"
No one could answer him.
Cao'er quickly stopped the bleeding. Although the rats in the bamboo forest were vicious but not poisonous, Hu Jiu's life was not in danger.
Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief and focused on Zhou Jiuzhang's hand, which was grinding tofu.
"Is this the tofu ground by this thing?" Li Zheng squatted next to him and measured it. "The stone for grinding this stone mill can only be obtained from Xishan."
Aunt Ma held her little grandson aside and said, "What kind of brine do you need? Most people really can't make it. I don't know how Xiao Yu'er got such a head."
Li Zhengdao: "It has nothing to do with his brain, it should be his mother's talent."
This sounds like a curse.
"Yes, I used to be just like Lao Yu, but now I'm suddenly enlightened. It must be Miss Yu's blood that has the upper hand."
Yu Sheng said: "As you can tell, they are still fighting in my body."
Li Zheng smiled, "You can't say for sure. At least when they were alive, they kept arguing over who you looked like."
"Yes, remember, as soon as the little fish could crawl, Miss Yu threw him into the water to swim until his stomach was bloated." Uncle Shi also came over to join in the fun.
I just learned how to crawl and didn’t remember anything at all. For the rest of my life, I really didn’t know that there was such a thing. “Is she really my mother?”
"This child, if not your own mother, would ask for a wife when you are naked."
