Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

After the results of the competition came out, Li Yu, Han Xiaomei, Cheng Danian and the other four boys were called to the Tianxiang Tower in front to talk.

This time, except for Princess Jianing and the little girl who already believed in Li Yu, the others no longer looked at Li Yu with suspicion and disdain as they did at the beginning.

In contrast, people's evaluation of Cheng Danian is not so good.

"It's really disappointing that Chef Cheng is not as good as a widow."

"I thought he would win no matter what, but I never expected this result."

"I didn't know whether I had compared it before or not, but now I find that Chef Cheng's dishes are just so-so. I will never come to Tianxianglou to eat again."

"It's a pity that I lost all the twenty taels of silver I bet."

After this reminder, the onlookers finally remembered the gambling, and for a moment, pain appeared on most people's faces. Only a few people laughed so hard that they couldn't close their mouths.

Fortunately, they thought that the person Princess Jianing liked would not be bad, so they bet on Chef Li to win! Now they are rich!

It was getting late, Princess Jianing finished the tea in her hand and called Li Yu to go with her.

She had only taken a few bites of the dish Li Yu had just made, but she was not full. Now she wanted to go back to the villa and let Li Yu cook for her, preferably with a bowl of jasmine milk tea.

Princess Jianing left happily, but unexpectedly, she was stopped again.

The person who stopped him this time was Zhang, the owner of another restaurant in the county - Chaoxilou. He had only one reason for stopping him, which was that he wanted to invite Li Yu to be the chef in their restaurant.

"We are in need of a chef in Chaoxilou, and you are the most suitable one." Manager Zhang smiled gently and looked like a good person, provided that one ignored the calculation that flashed across his eyes.

Li Yu pursed her lips and said, "Thank you very much, Manager Zhang, for your kindness, but I'm sorry, I can't accept your invitation."

"Why?" The smile on the face of the shopkeeper of Chaoxilou faded a little, but his words were still gentle, "But I'm worried that the wages are not enough. If that's the case, you can rest assured that I never treat anyone unfairly."

The crowd of onlookers had not yet dispersed, but as soon as these words were heard, several people immediately spoke up for Shopkeeper Zhang.

"Chef Li, go ahead, Chaoxilou is quite good."

"Yes, our family loves to go to Chaoxilou for food."

"Manager Zhang is a good person and will definitely not treat you unfairly."

Li Yu looked at the crowd, scanned them, and said, "It's not that I look down on you, but I have my own business and don't need to help out in other people's shops."

Shopkeeper Zhang could hardly hold back his smile. He knew that Li Yu had a business, but he just looked down on it. A shop in a small town was not worth running. Any smart person would know that they should choose the chef of the restaurant, but Li Yu rejected him.

He was so angry that he wanted to scold Li Yu, but with so many people present, he could only laugh dryly: "I see, I see, I was too abrupt."

Li Yu waved his hand.

After sending away Shopkeeper Zhang, Li Yu and Princess Jianing got on a carriage to the villa together, while Han Xiaomei and the little girl got on another one.

When the car was halfway on the road, Princess Jianing said, "Guardian Ma told me yesterday about your opening of a shop. I really want to see it with my own eyes. Let's go to Huangmei Town this afternoon to take a look."

Since she asked, Li Yu had no reason to refuse and agreed.

"By the way, you should be careful about that Zhang guy in the future." Princess Jianing changed the subject, "He is not a good person. He probably thought that if he asked you to be the chef in front of me, I would look up to him and say something good about him. Humph, he doesn't even look at what he is like. I have seen many of his little tricks.

"Alas! I'm still worried. Hey, guard Ma, you go to that building later and give that Zhang a heads up so he can be more careful, okay?"

It was very rare for a member of the royal family to say such words to her. Li Yu said respectfully, "Thank you for your kindness, Princess. I will definitely keep your instructions in mind."

"Why say 'I'? Just say 'I'." Princess Jianing said. She felt uncomfortable when she heard that Li Yu was a widow, and she would rather hear Li Yu call herself 'I'.

Li language should be.

Inside and outside Tianxiang Tower, the crowd of onlookers finally dispersed gradually.

The shopkeeper of Tianxianglou looked at the empty restaurant and felt extremely regretful: "Chef Cheng, what should we do now? You lost to that Li guy, and everyone thinks you are no good."

Cheng Danian was silent for a while, then said, "Boss, I was wrong this time. I will accept whatever you want to do."

The shopkeeper glanced at him and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

Cheng Danian nodded.

The shopkeeper smoothed his sleeves and said, "Because of you, the people in the county no longer trust our Tianxianglou. I can't keep you any longer."

The boy, Cheng Danian's apprentice, was horrified and argued, "Chef Li is already very capable. Not only my master, but anyone else may not be able to win against him."

"But the others didn't compete." The shopkeeper glared at him, "Your master didn't know his own limitations and insisted on competing, so it's his problem."

"But......"

"Stop talking." Cheng Danian stopped the boy. "The shopkeeper is right. This is my fault. If that's the case, I don't want this month's wages. I won't work here anymore."

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, "Really?"

Cheng Danian nodded: "Really!"

After today's competition, he discovered some problems with himself and it was a good time to go home and correct them.

Cheng Danian is not someone who can't afford to lose! Next time he comes out, he will compete with Chef Li again!

After returning to the villa, Li Yu made the three dishes again for Princess Jianing.

Princess Jianing ate and drank her fill, and soon she got on a carriage to Huangmei Town.

When she saw the appearance of Li Ji Food Shop, she felt sorry for Li Yu again.

"If you go to the capital, you will definitely be able to cook better. Those dignitaries will definitely praise your dishes."

Li Yu could tell that she was speaking from the heart, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness, Princess. I will definitely go to the capital if I have the chance in the future."

*

In addition to the shop, Princess Jianing also visited Li Yu's house. Seeing that her house was the best in Qingshui Village, she finally believed that she was not bullied by the villagers.

While she felt at ease, she also wanted to take Li Yu away.

Such a capable woman should go to a bigger place instead of living an ordinary life in this small town.

But Li Yu didn't want to leave, and she didn't want to force her, so she had to give up.

*

Princess Jianing stayed in Jiangyang County for seven days.

During this time, she wanted to learn how to make milk tea, and Li Yu taught her step by step until she was satisfied. In addition, he accompanied her to visit the streets and alleys of the county, and also visited several towns.

Before leaving, Princess Jianing rewarded Li Yu with two bags of gold leaves, and arranged for the county magistrate to take good care of Li Yu and not let others bully her.

"I will come to Jiangyang County in the future. If I hear that anyone bullies her, I will not forgive you." Before getting into the carriage, Princess Jianing looked at the people who were seeing her off and made the same expression as when she first met Li Yu, like a chivalrous woman.

Among those who followed to see her off, some had originally planned to cause some trouble for Li Yu as soon as Princess Jianing left, but they gave up the idea after hearing what she said.

*

After Princess Jianing left, it took only one morning for the county to slowly return to peace.

Li Yu came out of the other courtyard, treated Li the servant to a meal, and went home in the afternoon on a donkey cart.

She had walked a lot these days and was a little tired, so she thought about taking a day off and continuing to sell meat the day after tomorrow. Unexpectedly, as soon as she sat down at home, several people came to her door.
