He has never seen someone say "not a human" so confidently.
"What's the secret?" The Taoist priest put his mouse face towards him, smiling with a sinister look on his face.
Ye Zigao stood up and said, "If you are not a human being, then you are not a human being. What's the big deal? We don't have too many people here."
He ignored the Taoist priest and walked away, taking away the teapot. "You are not a human being but you want to know this big secret of mine? You are so beautiful."
Just now, Ye Zigao deliberately teased the Taoist priest. He would not spread the news that the shopkeeper was the son of the God-Slayer.
Although leaks are inevitable, the less outsiders know, the better.
"Hey, you..." The Taoist priest stood up and pointed at Ye Zigao, and was pulled back to sit down by Yu Sheng.
"Okay, I'll ask him to serve you a pot of the best camellia later." Yu Sheng comforted him.
He continued: "Do me a favor. You can go back to the city tomorrow and help me investigate who is trying to capture Yangzhou."
"Sure, no problem, but this..." The Taoist priest rubbed his fingers.
"It's not appropriate for us to mention too much money." Yu Sheng patted the Taoist priest affectionately on the shoulder.
The Taoist priest stretched out his hand and said, "Hey, what the shopkeeper said is true, but if we don't mention the money, it will be even more inappropriate for us."
"Go away", Yu Sheng slapped him away, "I forgot how you used my name to cheat in Yangzhou City."
"I didn't cheat, I just didn't have to pay some protection fees." The Taoist priest defended.
Yu Sheng was startled, "You still pay the protection fee, isn't it too embarrassing for you monsters?"
"Shopkeeper Yu, what you said is wrong." The Taoist priest said seriously, which made Yu Sheng startled. Then he corrected him: "We don't want to disgrace people or monsters."
"Your uncle." Yu Sheng couldn't help but wanted to say it, but he held it back.
He patted the Taoist priest on the shoulder and said, "As long as you do me this favor, don't worry, I will let you collect the protection money from those who collect protection money from now on."
"That's a good idea," the Taoist said.
In this way, when it comes to revenge, you don't have to worry about Jin Yiwei inviting you to tea.
He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Yu, I will definitely catch those rats who are secretly causing trouble... Bah, I will help you find them, cats."
"Thank you then." Yu Sheng cupped his hands and escorted the Taoist priest up the wooden ladder.
Yu Sheng stayed there for a while, until the setting sun put away the last ray of afterglow and Bai Gaoxing turned on the lamp before being woken up.
Baozi led a group of furry children into the inn, chattering and wanting to eat their river mussels. Only then did Yu Sheng stand up and go into the kitchen.
It is around the Qingming Festival, when the mussel meat is pure and plump. After being induced to vomit, the mud and sand are gone, and the taste becomes even more delicious.
Yu Sheng took a small and exquisite knife that was redeemed by the system and looked like a work of art, skillfully cut open the clam shell and cleaned out the gill intestines.
Wei Zai helped him, and followed Yu Sheng's instructions to wash the mussel meat with salt and water, cut it into long strips, and use the back of a knife to flatten the hard meat on the side, otherwise the hard meat would not be on the side when cooking.
Easily rotten.
Yu Sheng cleaned up for a while, while Hu's mother watched from a distance and almost learned it. She quickly took the knife and cleaned up the river mussels for Yu Sheng.
Yu Sheng went to the stove, heated the oil over high heat, threw in the cleaned river mussel meat and stir-fried.
The stir-fried river mussel meat was extremely fragrant. All the furry kids who were playing with the dogs gathered around, holding up the curtain and quietly observing the kitchen.
"Stay there." Ye Zigao came over to chase them away, "Why are you gathering here?"
"Be careful if your brother eats it secretly." Baozi said.
"Go on, do you think it's you greedy cats who gave birth to your brother?" Ye Zigao pushed them away.
The guests came down one after another to eat, but they were standing here and getting in the way.
"Don't worry, I'll be with you soon." Ye Zigao said.
"Okay." Baozi and the others just left. It wasn't that they were worried about the rest of their lives, but the taste of the meat just now was so tempting.
Especially when stir-frying, the sound and aroma of the oil cooking the ingredients will make your mouth water.
After sending Baozi and the others away, Ye Zigao went into the kitchen and said, "Shopkeeper, the guests are all about to eat. What river mussels are there today?"
Yu Sheng looked back at the basin containing river mussels.
Yesterday evening, Baozi and the others sent over some river mussels, and now we have a full basin, which is enough.
"Wait a minute." He replied to Ye Zigao, put the clam meat stir-fried in hot oil into the prepared casserole, and added the prepared shredded ginger and rice wine.
When he turned around to get the tofu, Ye Zigao took a pair of chopsticks from the table behind him. Just as he was about to take action, he was kicked away by Yu Sheng.
"Go ahead, do you have the nerve to call someone else a greedy cat?" Yu Sheng put the tofu in the casserole.
Ye Zi said plausibly, "I'm different from them. I'm here to help you taste it." He then stretched out his chopsticks.
Yu Sheng directly closed the lid, "Not now."
He asked Guai Zai to wait until the fire started to get hotter and then reduce the heat to a low simmer, then take off the apron from his waist and follow Ye Gao out.
"There are too many clams today. I will share some with the guests later," Yu Sheng said.
He asked Ye Zigao to fetch the signs, took pen and ink, and wrote "River Clam and Tofu Soup" on one sign.
He paused and wrote on the sign: Two Guan (limited supply).
Then he took another sign with the words Braised Green Vegetables with Clams on it, and the bid was also two dollars, and the leaves were hung high.
"Brother Sheng, what's written on the sign?" Baozi noticed something was wrong in time.
"It's all about mussels." He interrupted Baozi without waiting for him to speak, "Don't worry, the mussels left behind are enough for you to eat."
"There is still money to take." Yu Sheng said, the inn will just charge a processing fee for the money sold later.
As soon as Baozi heard that he had money, he was so happy that he forgot about everything, even if he was not allowed to eat.
"Okay, stop having fun." Yu Sheng drove them away, "Go to the vegetable garden behind and pick some vegetables for me."
"Okay." Baozi led his grandson and the others out in a swarm.
Yu Sheng turned around and saw Aunt Qing sitting at the long table chatting with Yu Shiyu. They looked at Yu Sheng's words.
Yu Shiyu praised: "That's right, I didn't expect him to grow up quite quickly."
Yu Sheng came over and said, "So, you don't even know who I am?"
"This has something to do with who you are?" Yu Shiyu couldn't stand Yu Sheng's complacency, "This has something to do with who your old man is."
"Go, don't take the opportunity to praise your old man." Yu Sheng said angrily, "Do you mind giving my credit to your old man?"
Yu Sheng poured himself a cup of tea and said, "If Lao Yu had half as much talent as I do, he would be very advanced by now."
"Then who gets the credit, your mother? Your grandfather taught her how to calligraphy." Yu Shiyu said.
This is a big secret.
"I said you two, apart from your parents, are your families short-lived?" Aunt Qing said helplessly.
"You don't understand, this is the class conflict between the first child and the second child," Yu Sheng said.
At this time, Mo Wen, who had been hanging out with Si Yousi all day long, saw the vegetable sign hanging high on the leaf.
He took a step forward and said in disbelief: "Hey, one dish is only two dishes. Shopkeeper Yu, did you forget to take your medicine today?"
