After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 149 Yes, thanks to me

The head of the Cheng family: "Your master? Who?"

If he can be hired into his own restaurant, the restaurant's business will surely reach a higher level, and it will also earn more money for the Cheng family.

Erxi: "I don't know either. Master comes and goes without a trace. She comes to me every time, but I can't find her, and she doesn't tell me her name."

He made it up on his lips, but he said in his heart, Xibao, I'm sorry.

The head of the Cheng family stared at Er Xi carefully, trying to judge whether what he said was true, but found that the young man looked young and respectful, but he was hiding something secretly, and there was no flaw in his expression.

"What about the recipe?" No one was there, so it would be nice to get the recipe.

The head of the Cheng family was used to being domineering, so he didn't notice the disdainful and surprised looks from others after he said these words.

Zheng Tao frowned, the dignified head of the Cheng family looked so ugly.

Erxi: "There is no recipe. Every time Master teaches me how to cook, he dictates it."

The head of the Cheng family narrowed his eyes in displeasure, this Lin Erxi, are you treating him like a fool?

There is no recipe, but he can clearly remember so many dishes?
The county magistrate came out to smooth things over, "Master Cheng, the master's secret skills are often kept secret. Aren't you making things difficult for others? Come on, let me toast you."

Erxi took the opportunity to resign.

Arriving at a deserted place, Erxi opened the red envelope awarded by the county magistrate, and inside was a 20-tael silver note!
I went out to cook a meal and received such a generous reward.

If only I could come here a few more times... No, no, no, if you want to be content, how can you have such an opportunity every day?

When he came out of the county magistrate's house that night, Erxi looked up at the sky and happened to see the city's sky lanterns rising into the sky.

Countless sky lanterns are like clusters of glowing fish, swarming towards the bright moon in the sky.

This grand and beautiful scene lit up his eyes and reflected in his heart. He felt that his mood was as bright and hot as these sky lanterns.

On the other side, in front of Fanlou.

Lin Chunniang and others were busy until midnight.

The prepared ingredients have been used up, and they have been added several times, but the supply is still in short supply.

The money box was so full that the money inside was overflowing, and the lid couldn't even be closed.

Several people were happy, but they were also really tired. Their backs ached and their heels were so swollen that they could hardly stand.

They had never stayed up so late.

Lin Chunniang: "Closed the stall and went home."

During the process of closing the stall, some customers came to ask. Lin Chunniang could only wave her hands helplessly and said that it was sold out.

Back in Meiyuan, they simply washed up and fell asleep without even bothering to count their money.

I slept very deeply and didn't wake up until half the morning of the next day.

Lin Chunniang felt embarrassed, "We are guests, but we still got up so late."

Lin Wushang: "Sister, do you still treat me like an outsider? You are Xibao's family, that is, my family. It's not a big deal to sleep in at home. Besides, you were busy so late last night, I’m really tired too.”

Lin Chunniang felt very at ease with his words, and her discomfort dissipated.

A few people sat down to have brunch.

Just after finishing eating, Erxi came, carrying a bunch of gift boxes and a hand full of food.

He handed the gift box to Qin Xue who came up to him.

Although Young Master Lin doesn't treat him as an outsider, he can't just show up empty-handed because of the importance of courtesy and affection.

Then he put the food he bought on the table and opened it one by one, "This is the donkey rolling from Grandma Zhou's house, this is the sauced mutton from Grandpa Zhang's house, as well as pine nut cake, osmanthus candy..."

After tasting them, he thought they were particularly delicious, so he bought them to share with his family.

When Sister Xibao and the others came over yesterday, he was at work and couldn't stay with them much longer.

Today he specifically asked the shopkeeper for a half-day off.

It was because of him that he achieved great success, and the shopkeeper readily approved it.

Lin Xi is willing to eat whatever comes to her.

Although she just had a meal with Lin Chunniang and the others, she immediately launched an attack on the pile of delicious food on the table.

Grab the donkey and roll with one hand, and grab the sauced mutton with the other.As you eat, your mouth is dipped in powdered sugar and smeared with sauce, and your pink face turns into a little cat, which makes people laugh.

Lin Wushang wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, his movements gentle and meticulous.

Lin Xi thought that his slow wiping was hindering her from eating, so she turned her face away to prevent him from wiping.

Lin Wushang: "..."

Forget it, let her face get dirty.

"Sister, here it is." Erxi handed over a red envelope.

Lin Chunniang took it and said, "What is this?"

Erxi: "There are 30 taels of silver notes in it, 20 taels of which are rewards given by the county magistrate, and the other [-] taels are given to me by the shopkeeper, saying they are for hard work."

Lin Chunniang's eyes widened, she looked at the banknote in her hand and then at her brother in front of her, her face full of confusion.

Lin Dayou asked for her: "Er Xi, why does the magistrate want to give you a reward? Why does your shopkeeper give you hard work money?"

Erxi: "Shortly after you left yesterday, Butler Deng from the county magistrate's office came to the restaurant..."

He recounted what happened in the restaurant yesterday.

Including the incident of going to the county magistrate's house to take charge, he even recounted the responses he had with the magistrate and others at the banquet.

Yuniang: "Second brother is so awesome. The county magistrate even praises the delicious food you cook."

Erxi pursed her lips and smiled, then looked at Lin Xi, "It's all thanks to Xibao. If she hadn't taught me how to cook, I wouldn't have had this opportunity."

Lin Xi nodded and agreed without humility at all, "Yes, thanks to me."

She brags about herself like this, but it's not offensive at all. She just thinks it's adorable.

Lin Xi sent a message to Lin Wushang: "Er Xi handled it very well at the banquet. If someone investigates the master behind him, help block it."

Lin Wushang: "Yeah, I know."

Even if she didn't say it, he would do it.

Erxi: "For the other ten taels of silver, shopkeeper Chen said that the county magistrate asked the chef in the building to come over and pay a commission of 15 taels. I came on the scene in time to turn the tide and save Huixianlou in danger, so Chen The shopkeeper gave me the bulk of it."

Cui Niang covered her lips and smiled, "Second brother, no one can praise themselves like you do."

Erxi said seriously: "I didn't say these words. Shopkeeper Chen praised me. I just repeated them."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone laughed.

At noon, Lin Wushang took Lin Xi and the Lin family to Fanlou and had the highest-level "Flower Banquet" here.

The dishes at the banquet either use flowers as ingredients or are made into flower shapes. Each dish is so exquisite that it makes people reluctant to use their chopsticks.

Lin Xi was not so "loving", so she picked up the chopsticks and started cooking.

Comment after eating: "It tastes good, but not as good as I thought."

Lin Wushang smiled, "What Fanlou sells is not food, but -"

He paused and borrowed a word he learned from her: "Style."

The environment, decoration, service, etc. here are all top-notch in Qingyuan County. Even the dishes, cups and saucers used by the guests are made of gold and silver. The main theme is luxury and nobility.

Lin Xi was noncommittal.

If she hadn't experienced the apocalypse, she might have pursued these things.

Now, she only cares about the actual value of a thing.

She wouldn't spend money on those frivolous things.

After coming out of Fanlou, Erxi reluctantly said goodbye to his family and returned to Huixianlou.

Lin Wushang invited the Lin family back to Meiyuan to stay for another two days.

Lin Chunniang hurriedly waved her hands, "No, no, we haven't been back for a day. I don't know how Xiao Hei is doing. There are also the chickens, sheep, etc. at home. I'm afraid they'll run away."

Since she said this, Lin Wushang couldn't keep them anymore.

Instruct Qin Feng to send them back.
