The hunter's husband is so sweet
Chapter 51 The End of the Chu Family
When Fu Jingyi and the other two returned home, they saw Baiji running into the yard and rolling around. Recently, it could walk on its own, so Fu Jingyi built a small nest for it in the yard so that it could bask in the sun.
Baiji also meowed when he saw his master coming back. He didn't look like the king of beasts at all. Instead, he acted like a big cat. Qi Xuan went forward and hugged him, but he was not in the mood to tease him.
As for Shopkeeper Wu, he went to find Mr. Li without delay after returning to town. "Isn't this Shopkeeper Wu? What brings you here?" Mr. Li was just about to have dinner. "What a coincidence. Come on, let's eat together."
Shopkeeper Wu had no appetite, but he still had to deal with it carefully, "Hey, Lao Li, I know you like food, so I brought you something delicious." As he said this, he took out the pan-fried dumplings.
Mr. Li smelled it and said, "It smells so good, it must be... a pan-fried bun!" Then he picked up the chopsticks and picked up one.
"Hahaha, as expected it's you." Shopkeeper Wu laughed, "I know that restaurant, and I thought you haven't tasted this flavor before, so I sent it to you to try."
In the time it took his son to finish two, Mr. Li smacked his lips and said, "It's really good. To be honest, I was planning to go check it out today, but after asking for a long time I was told that the stall was closed, so I had to give up. I didn't expect that you would bring it to me now. Hahahaha."
Shopkeeper Wu looked around and found that one of Mr. Li's servants had shifty eyes and kept glancing at them. He looked a little...guilty, yes, guilty. He knew that there was something fishy going on. He must have been the one who took Mr. Li to buy the pan-fried dumplings.
"Old Li." Shopkeeper Wu deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Do you know the new dishes in my restaurant? They are all recipes provided to me by my friend."
"Is that so?" Mr. Li was also very surprised. He knew how popular the new dishes at Yingkelou were. They were hard to come by during the first few days after they were launched. If he hadn't had some friendship with the shopkeeper, he wouldn't have been able to eat them.
Shopkeeper Wu nodded, "I've arranged to meet him tomorrow at noon in the building, do you want to meet him?" "Is it possible?" Mr. Li was really tempted. He wanted to meet the person who could come up with such delicious food, and he also wanted to ask him if there were any new dishes. "If it's not too much trouble, of course I want to meet him."
"Okay, come directly to the building at noon tomorrow." Shopkeeper Wu deliberately instructed, "Come into the private room by yourself. I don't want too many people to know. After all, business is difficult to do."
Mr. Li patted him on the shoulder and said, "I understand. Don't worry." After the discussion, Shopkeeper Wu did not stay long. He left the fried dumplings and went away.
He sent a servant to deliver a message to Fu Jingyi, and then he felt relieved. He took out the recipe Qi Xuan gave him and called the chef.
Fu Jingyi politely sent away the servant who came to deliver the letter. The three of them sat together in the yard. Lin Chen was still worried, "Brother, I will go with you tomorrow."
Qi Xuan pinched Lin Chen's wrinkled face and said, "You better go to your mother's house tomorrow and stay with them. Your brother-in-law and I can take care of it. Remember to bring Baiji with you." Lin Chen wanted to say something else, but didn't say anything in the end.
The next morning, because he didn't have to go to town, he slept in. Qi Xuan didn't even want to eat breakfast, and went straight to the Yingke Building for a big meal, so he stayed in bed and didn't want to get up. In the end, Fu Jingyi forcibly pulled him out of the quilt and he woke up completely.
After packing up, the couple first sent Lin Chen to Aunt Wang's house, and then walked to the guest house. On the way, Qi Xuan worriedly asked, "Brother Yi, do you think Mr. Li will believe what we say?"
"Whether he believes it or not, he will investigate it himself." Fu Jingyi and Qi Xuan walked side by side. "In such a short time, I don't think Mr. Chu will do everything perfectly. He will always find loopholes."
"Well, we can't set up the stall these days. I guess soon there will be people imitating the pan-fried dumplings we make. Even if the taste is not that good, if we don't set up the stall, they will buy from someone else." Qi Xuan cursed the Chu family's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart.
After arriving at the reception building, a waiter led them to the private room on the second floor. Before they entered, they heard laughter coming from inside. The waiter knocked on the door and said, "Boss, someone is here."
The voice of Manager Wu came from the box, "Please come in." The waiter pushed open the door and made a gesture of invitation. Fu Jingyi and Qi Xuan walked in together. The waiter closed the door and left.
As soon as the two entered the box, Qi Xuan felt a burning gaze falling on him, and he was so scared that he shrank behind Fu Jingyi. The man also held Qi Xuan's hand tightly, and his silent comfort gave him strength.
Mr. Li felt a little embarrassed at this time, and hurriedly stood up, "Hahaha, I didn't expect that the person who could make such delicious food was a young man. I was rude just now, I hope you can forgive me."
Qi Xuan still hid and didn't dare to speak, so Shopkeeper Wu tried to smooth things over, "Old Li, take a seat. Brother Fu, bring your husband to take a seat as well."
After serving tea to everyone, Shopkeeper Wu continued, "Old Li, actually we called you here because we have something to say to you." He glanced at Fu Jingyi and motioned for him to speak.
Fu Jingyi did not hesitate and told him the story of Chu Yun going to his house to make trouble, how Master Chu came to threaten him, and then how he framed Chu Yun to pretend to be sick and plotted against Mr. Li.
Every time he said something, Li Yuanwai blushed with anger. "Chu Jianye, I like his little brother because of his ancestors' good deeds. If he doesn't want to, I won't do such a hard thing. Not only did you pretend to be sick, but you also plotted against me? I am a little greedy for beauty, but I am not a person without morals."
Mr. Li was really angry and said whatever he wanted. "Please sit down for a while. I'll go make some arrangements and then ask this man for advice later." He was about to get up and leave.
Shopkeeper Wu quickly stopped the man and said, "Mr. Li, there is one more thing. Pay attention to your servants, especially the one who instigated you to buy fried dumplings." Shopkeeper Wu stopped talking at that point. Mr. Li was also a smart man, so how could he not know the reason?
Only Shopkeeper Wu and his wife were left in the box. Qi Xuan dared to speak, "Shopkeeper Wu, let's just wait here now. Will Mr. Li be back soon?"
At this time, there was a knock on the door. It was the waiter who came to serve the dishes. Shopkeeper Wu said, "Brother Fu, brother-in-law, let's eat while waiting for good news. But I also want to ask brother-in-law, have you really prepared anything for Mr. Li?"
Qi Xuan nodded, "I don't know what Mr. Li's taste is like, I prepared spicy diced rabbit and the five-color shredded venison I told you about before."
"That's enough, Lao Li also likes spicy food, this is just what he likes." The three of them talked while eating, and the atmosphere was not dull. Qi Xuan was still thinking about the peach juice he gave to Shopkeeper Wu last time, "Shopkeeper, how was the peach juice last time?"
When Wu mentioned this, his face almost turned into a flower. "Oh, I have to thank my brother-in-law. Now this peach juice has become our signature dessert along with the crab roe crisps. It is especially popular among the young ladies."
"That's fine. In fact, other seasonal fruits will be fine. Your chef is so talented, he will definitely be able to learn from this and apply it to other situations." At this time, footsteps were heard outside the door, and Mr. Li pushed the door open. Qi Xuan suddenly became restrained again.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Mr. Li entered the room, he clasped his fists towards Fu Jingyi and Qi Xuan, "I'm sorry, I checked and it's true. It's also because of Chu that you are implicated." He then gestured to the servant to bring the things up, and the person who came in put the box on the table and left. "It's just a small gift, I hope you will accept it." The couple looked at each other, and Fu Jingyi accepted the box, but did not open it.
Seeing that Mr. Li was also apologizing sincerely, Qi Xuan also took out the recipes mentioned earlier, "I heard from Shopkeeper Wu that Mr. Li also loves food. This matter is ultimately just the scheme of Mr. Chu. In the end, we are all victims." He put the two recipes in front of Mr. Li, "Here is a spicy diced rabbit and a five-color shredded venison. Your cook at home will know how to make them when you see them."
Mr. Li happily took the recipe and thanked him again. Fu Jingyi was a little concerned about the Chu family, "I wonder what Mr. Li thinks of the Chu family."
"Hmph." When mentioning them, Mr. Li's face turned a little colder. "Since his brother didn't want to marry me, I didn't force him. But I really liked him, so I helped him find a marriage, albeit one that was far away. Of course, Mr. Chu couldn't bear to part with his son, so it's a good opportunity for them to go together."
