844, the mother of the unjust death of the son fourteen
"If they come to see you again, don't refuse them too quickly and ask them which restaurant they are from," Chu Yunli told them.
She had to see if she was just trying to poach someone, or if someone was targeting her.
After all, although the business of Zhou's restaurant is good this week, it is not so eye-catching that no one should be keeping an eye on it.
Mrs. Lin hurriedly responded, then tentatively said: "But I'm stupid, so I might not be able to come up with the words."
Chu Yunli waved her hand: "Just do your best."
Two days later, when Mrs. Lin came in the morning, she immediately said: "Master, I know, it's Xiangmanlou. They want me to go to Xiangmanlou."
She was a little excited.
It was the leading restaurant in the county, and all the good cooks in the city were gathered inside. She was excited not because she could go to Xiangmanlou, but because her skills had now reached the point where Xiangmanlou was poaching people.
Her family knows her own business, but her current craftsmanship is far from that of her master. If she could learn from them all... wouldn't she be even better than the masters in Xiangmanlou?
Isn't the owner of this fragrant building the Chen family?
Damn it, you didn’t offend them, so why did you focus on yourself?
Chu Yunli grinded his teeth and sneered.
So, when the manager came to Lin for persuasion again, Chu Yunli appeared: "You want to poach me?"
Steward: "..." Where did she come from?
No matter how he came, he had to give in in front of the Chen family. Besides, as long as Mrs. Lin is not stupid, she would know what to choose. She immediately said coldly: "Ms. Zhou Hu, this is what my wife wants."
This is a threat.
Unfortunately, it was of no use to Chu Yunli. Knowing that Mrs. Chen was targeting her, she smiled even deeper and asked Mr. Lin, "Are you going? Give me a sure word so that he can go back and recover."
Mrs. Lin immediately said: "I won't go!"
The steward was surprised: "I will give you five silver coins a month!"
Mrs. Lin was drooling in her heart, thinking that after learning the master's craftsmanship, she might be able to earn five taels of silver a month. The master of Xiangmanlou is only five taels! The master's craftsmanship is much better than that of Xiangmanlou. He immediately said:
"No, no, no!"
The manager came back in vain, and when he returned to resume his duties, he felt a little guilty.
After hearing his report, Mrs. Chen waved her hand and said, "That's all, let her go." It would be the same thing if the restaurant became bigger and then shot to death.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye. At the end of the new year, the county town became lively. During this period, Chu Yunli taught two more apprentices. He also bought the three floors opposite Xiangman Building and had already found someone to repair it. It would be completed by the first month of the year.
Open.
At present, everyone only knows that a restaurant is opening across from Xiangmanlou, but they don't know who the owner is.
Nowadays, several members of the Zhou family don't go back to the village often because Chen Wanhua is very sick, so they celebrate the New Year in the city.
In fact, Chen Wanhua did not expect that her mother-in-law, who had a bad voice, could be so powerful. At first, she wanted to start a business after giving birth to the child. Unexpectedly, before the child was born, her mother-in-law was already able to open a restaurant as big as Xiangmanlou.
On the third day of the first lunar month, the Cuisine Restaurant opposite Xiangman Restaurant opened. After the firecrackers, there was a lion dance, which was very lively. Moreover, for the first five days of the opening, the dishes were only half price.
After all, Xiangmanlou is a large restaurant that has been around for many years. It is not as bright as the newly renovated Gourmet Restaurant. Even if people don't charge for the half price, the bright colors alone make it worth a visit.
Then, once I go there I can’t bear to leave.
Whether fried, steamed, fried or stir-fried, the dishes inside are all exquisite, not only beautiful but also delicious. The aroma can be smelled outside. There are several shops next to it. I feel hungry all day long, so I can't help but ask the next door to deliver it.
Bring the food.
As soon as the restaurant opened, it was the first month of the year and it was packed every day.
Mrs. Chen, who had been watching indifferently, could no longer sit still and asked someone to inquire about the owner of the restaurant.
After asking around, I learned that it was run by the Zhou family restaurant outside. The steward who inquired happened to be the one who went to poach him. When he learned the news, his eyes darkened. You didn't need to think about it to know how angry the master would be when he found out.
When I went back to report, I deliberately stood far away. As soon as I finished speaking, tea splashed and porcelain fragments flew in front of me. The master above said in a cold voice: "I underestimated her!"
The steward's heart was raised in his throat, and he tried to persuade her: "Madam, that is a relative of our Chen family. Miss Wanhua is your daughter, and I admire you the most. She has a good life, which is also good for our family."
Mrs. Chen angrily shouted: "What do you know?"
Steward: "..." I don't understand.
Li Xiangyu happened to be standing outside the room and heard the manager's report. She knew about the recently opened Gourmet Restaurant, but she never expected that it was opened by the Zhou family.
Even if she returns to the Chen family now, and even if Mrs. Chen is not as hostile to her as before, she can't guarantee that she can marry into a family like the Zhou family.
If I had known this... If I had known this... Why would she bother?
Mrs. Chen shouted angrily: "Go away! Go and find out who the chefs are there. As long as they are willing to come over, the price will be whatever they want."
The steward hurriedly withdrew.
Mrs. Chen was still angry. She saw the figure moving on the curtain at the door and scolded: "Who is outside?"
Li Xiangyu suppressed the idea of turning around and running away, took a deep breath, put on a gentle smile, and stepped in slowly: "Mother."
Seeing that it was her, Mrs. Chen became even more worried: "What are you doing here?"
Li Xiangyu said happily: "Blessings to you!"
Mrs. Chen sneered: "Let's go out to eat."
The two of them went to the Food Restaurant.
When they arrived, they had already missed their meal. There were only a few tables of guests in the lobby chatting. Mrs. Chen frowned and said to the waiter who came up to her: "Take us upstairs."
The clerk looked embarrassed: "Sorry, there are no rooms upstairs."
Mrs. Chen: "..."
"Then find a quiet place for me in the corner."
The waiter's expression of embarrassment did not diminish: "There is a place. But in order to avoid the need for overnight dishes, the dishes in our restaurant are well prepared. At this time, many dishes are gone."
Mrs. Chen took a deep breath: "Whatever you can get!"
She wanted to see how delicious the food here was, and she had to eat it today.
When the two people entered the restaurant, Chu Yunli saw them and whispered a few words to the grass at the door.
Mrs. Chen below had been waiting for a long time. She didn't eat much at all today because she was angry. Smelling the aroma of rice around her, she felt even hungrier, so she could only drink the tea on the table.
I don’t know what was added to this tea, but it tasted delicious. Seeing that two quarters of an hour had passed and no food was served, I couldn’t help but ask the waiter to urge me.
The guy's attitude was very good: "It's coming soon..."
After doing this three times, just when Mrs. Chen was about to get angry, the food was finally served. There were only three dishes and one soup, and every plate was green.
It was just very ordinary home-cooked food. Mrs. Chen would not eat it before, but she got hungry after waiting and was a little dissatisfied: "That's all?"
The waiter said seriously: "Madam, I said earlier that there are no more dishes in the kitchen, only these are left."
Mrs. Chen: "..."
If she continued to pester her, it would seem that she was being unreasonable, so she simply picked up the bowl, and as soon as the green vegetables entered her mouth, they were crisp and fragrant, and she unknowingly ate two bowls of rice. With the delicious food in her mouth, her heart became colder and colder.
, such an ordinary dish can be made so delicious, no wonder the business is so good.
I don’t know where to find the cook?
I feel more and more in my heart that I must get the cook to my house no matter what.
Li Xiangyu only focused on eating and said nothing.
After the two of them finished eating, Mrs. Chen put down the bowl and called the waiter: "I want to see your boss."
The waiter looked embarrassed: "I'm sorry. Our boss said that if the guests want to see her, they have to pay for the meal first."
Li Xiangyu was speechless.
Indeed, the two of them had to meet the host as soon as their bowls were put away, and it was indeed as if they didn’t want to pay for the meal.
Mrs. Chen was furious: "Am I the one who is short of that little money?"
The waiter disagreed: "Some people dress smartly, but their pockets are as clean as their faces."
Mrs. Chen was so angry that she took out a piece of silver and said: "A dog's eyes look down on others, so use the rest to treat your eyes."
The waiter hurriedly thanked me.
When the waiter brought the two of them to Chu Yunli, they saw Mrs. Chen's chest heaving with anger.
"Mrs. Chen, what's going on?"
Mrs. Chen sneered: "You're a bad guy, you don't know how to look at people. I'm the one who's short of money? I have to pay to see you, and you say it's your rule."
Chu Yunli looked apologetic: "It's indeed my rule. You know, we are from the village, from my hometown. If they come to eat, after meeting me, can I have the nerve to collect money? But the village is so
How can I raise so many people? That’s why we made this rule.”
It was reasonable and well-founded. If she was angry, it would be because she had a small stomach. Mrs. Chen was so worried that she didn't know what to say when she came to the door aggressively to ask questions.
But she reacted quickly, glanced at her, and asked: "Where is Wanhua? If life is better, you don't plan to recognize us?"
Chu Yunli sighed: "I'm going to give birth in a few months. I'm afraid something will happen to her, so I'll keep her and won't let her out. For my grandson, if you want to blame, just blame me."
What else can people say for the safety of their grandson?
Mrs. Chen was speechless.
She found that whatever the woman in front of her said made sense, leaving people speechless. After a long while, she calmed down her anger and said with a half-smile: "My mother-in-law, you opened a restaurant, why didn't you tell us? Let's talk to the in-laws."
It's time to come and congratulate you."
This is my in-laws' home.
Mrs. Chen had never been called this before. She always spoke in a condescending manner. She stayed when asked to stay, and left when asked to leave, as if she was giving orders to her subordinates.
"I dare not say it!" Chu Yunli said seriously: "I'm afraid you'll poach my cook before we even open the business. Then how can I open it?"
Mrs. Chen understood that she was caring about the matter of asking someone to find Mr. Lin before, and said with a smile: "In business, everyone depends on their ability. My Xiangmanlou has been open for many years, and as we all know, the best cooks are all
I found a good cook inside, so of course I want to bring him back. Now I have found a better one, so you have to be careful."
The unspoken meaning is that now she has to find a way to take away the food building and other items.
Chu Yunli sneered: "Mrs. Chen, in doing this business, she really doesn't recognize her relatives. I'm more curious, where did my daughter-in-law offend you?"
If it weren't for Chen Wanhua, she probably wouldn't be so clinging to him.
Hearing this, Mrs. Chen's eyes dodged: "It's getting late, I'll be back soon."
