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

Li Yu waited for about a quarter of an hour, and then someone rushed into the fourth spice shop.

The man was dressed in luxurious clothes. He was none other than Boss Mei whom Li Yu had met a few days ago.

It was indeed him. Just now when she was buying seasonings at the fourth shop, she saw a jade pendant in the shape of a gold ingot on the boss' waist. It was exactly the same as the one that Boss Mei was wearing when she met him a few days ago.

She immediately suspected that Boss Mei had bribed the spice shop owner, and now this has been basically confirmed.

As expected, this man still wanted her prescription, but he looked down on her status and didn't want to pay, so he came up with this idea.

Then let him try! She wanted to see what he could come up with.

Li Yu was not worried at all. Not to mention that she bought more than a dozen kinds of seasonings, even the proportions of the various ingredients were enough for them to study for a long time.

Li Yu waited for a while and left only after seeing Boss Mei coming out with a lot of bags.

On the other side of the street, Boss Hu finished his business and wandered around aimlessly.

When he saw Boss Mei, his face darkened and he turned his back. Recently, he didn't want to look at Boss Mei.

Unexpectedly, after taking two steps, Boss Mei's voice came from behind: "Old Hu, wait a moment."

Boss Hu: “…” Never mind, let’s hear what he has to say.

Boss Hu turned his head and said expressionlessly, "What's the matter?"

Boss Mei held up the paper bag in his hand and said, "Even without the recipe given by Mr. Li, I can still make delicious braised pork."

Boss Hu noticed that the four paper bags were tied with different ropes, and his mind buzzed. He had been in the business world for many years, and in just a moment, he had a guess in his mind.

"You bribed the bosses of each store and asked them to help record the seasonings that Boss Li bought?"

"As expected of you." Boss Mei said proudly, "It's just a recipe that is not up to par. The chefs at Delicious House will surely be able to make something more delicious. By then, I will make the entire Nanzhou Prefecture, and even Huangmei Town, only recognize the braised meat from Delicious House."

In the business world, "stealing" other people's recipes is not uncommon, but Boss Hu could not tolerate a friend he once valued doing such a thing.

Too shabby.

Boss Hu said angrily: "Mei San, we are no longer friends, and our two families should not have any contact with each other."

Boss Mei was dissatisfied: "How dare you treat me like this for a village girl, Lao Hu, are you crazy?"

Boss Hu shook his head, stopped talking nonsense, and turned away. He had to find Boss Li as soon as possible and explain the matter to her. In the final analysis, Mei San's incident was caused by him, and he had to help find a solution.

Boss Hu went home in a hurry and asked his servant to drive him to Qingshui Village.

Boss Hu was fast and Li Yu was slow in pushing the cart, so Boss Hu caught up with Li Yu before he returned to the village.

"Boss Li, wait a minute." Boss Hu stopped in front of Li Yu's car.

Li Yu was very surprised by his arrival, "Boss Hu, are you going to buy braised meat?"

Boss Hu sighed and told her what Boss Mei had done. "Mei San is a really bad person. I will never associate with him again. I'm sorry, Boss Li. I didn't expect him to do this."

Li Yu didn't expect Boss Hu to be able to do this. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Boss Hu, don't worry. Since I can do the braised meat business, I have naturally considered all aspects. You see, I have been doing this business for a while, and three more braised meat shops have opened in the town, but can any of them replicate my taste?"

Boss Hu immediately understood what she meant and couldn't help but admire her.

"There's no way I can do Mr. Mei's business. If he can figure out the recipe himself, I have nothing to say." Li Yu said.

Boss Hu nodded and thought that when he had the chance, he would definitely do business with Boss Li. She was a smart person and her future was definitely limitless.

After saying goodbye to Boss Hu, Li Yu pushed the cart home. On the way, she met villagers, who took the initiative to greet her before she could say anything.

In the past two days, the villagers looked at Li Yu with more and more eager eyes. It was unprecedented in the village that a young girl could earn so much money.

It is better to build a good relationship with her, hoping that she can help them when she has a way to make money in the future. Old Lady Wang who sells vegetables and Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu who sell jars in the village have all benefited from Li Yu. Old Lady Wang’s vegetables used to be sold out, but now they are almost out of stock. The day before yesterday, Old Lady Wang said that she would set aside another acre of land to grow vegetables next year. Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu are even more comfortable. Han Xiaomei sends meat to their house from time to time, and everyone in their family looks fatter than before.

There is also Han Sheng, the firewood seller. His family used to be not so poor that they could barely afford to eat, but their living standards were among the worst in the village. Li Yu has been buying firewood from him every day recently, and yesterday he even saw him buying meat.

Li Yu could naturally guess what the villagers were thinking, but she still treated them with the same attitude. She remembered who was good to her, and would repay them when it was time. She would never change her mind just because of a few nice words. She was not that stupid.

In the small courtyard, Han Xiaomei was tidying up the yard. Recently, she was either busy with business or dealing with Li Dali, and the yard had never been properly tidyed up. This was a good opportunity to tidy it up.

Han Xiaomei was working very hard when suddenly the puppy started barking at the door.

She looked up and saw Han Xiuwu standing in front of the door.

Meeting Han Xiaomei's gaze, Han Xiuwu blushed, "Xiao...Xiaomei."

Han Xiaomei put away her smile and walked to a stop three meters away from Han Xiuwu. "Why are you here?"

Han Xiuwu didn't dare to look at her, "I came to see if you and Han Zheng are doing well."

Han Xiaomei chuckled, "Of course my third brother and I live well. My second sister-in-law cooks meat for us every day. You know, my third brother went to Mingtong Academy to study. The teacher also said that he is good at studying and will definitely pass the exam to become a scholar in the future."

Han Xiuwu nodded in panic, "Han Zheng has been smart since he was a child."

"Speaking of which, thanks to you and Yang Qiuyue's quarrel over the separation of the family, Third Brother would definitely not have this opportunity. In the past, whenever Third Brother spent a penny at home, Yang Qiuyue would make a scene, even if Third Brother was spending Second Brother's money."

Every time Han Xiaomei said something, Han Xiuwu's face turned pale. He was sorry for them, but Qiuyue was his wife and she was pregnant with his child. He couldn't let Qiuyue feel uncomfortable. Now Qiuyue also knew she was wrong. As long as Xiaomei forgave them, they would still be a family.

Han Xiuwu thought about this and stammered, "Your sister-in-law already knows she's wrong, but she's in a heavy body and it's hard for her to come over. She asked me to..."

Han Xiaomei interrupted him, "I will not forgive you."

Han Xiuwu said to himself: "My parents passed away early, and we depended on each other for survival. We shouldn't..."

"I don't want to." Han Xiaomei looked at his cowardly appearance, hatred growing from the bottom of her heart, and she shouted: "We have already separated, I will not recognize you two anymore, you go, if you stay here, I will beat you with a stick!"
