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

Li Yu doesn't mind passing on the delicious food she learned in modern times.

But she didn't intend to give them away for free. She wanted to make reasonable use of them and maximize the value of those recipes.

Li Yu is not a noble person. She has selfish motives. Especially in this ancient time when famine and war could occur at any time, she hopes to have enough silver to ensure a stable life.

Under Boss Hua's shocked gaze, Li Yu said, "Boss Hua must know the owner of Zui Xiang Lou in Nanzhou Prefecture."

Boss Hua: “Of course I know him.”

"How is your relationship?"

"We often sit together to drink tea and discuss poetry."

Li Yu secretly thought that he had found the right person. "I can teach Boss Hua how to cook. But I hope Boss Hua can introduce me to the owner of Zui Xiang Lou. If there is a chance, I would like to cooperate with Zui Xiang Lou."

Zui Xiang Lou in Nanzhou Prefecture is one of the best restaurants. She wanted to sell some recipes to them, in order to earn some money and expand her network.

If she has the opportunity in the future, she wants to expand her business. By that time, if she wants to do business well, it will not be enough to just have skills, she will also need connections.

Boss Hua was shocked for a moment by Li Yu's proposal, but then he understood what she meant and said yes.

Boss Li’s dishes are indeed delicious, and Zui Xiang Lou’s customers will surely like them too.

Li Yu chatted with Boss Hua for a while, and finally they left each other after exchanging addresses.

The Qin family’s customers were very satisfied with the dishes this time. In addition to the initial deposit, Boss Qin gave another eight taels of silver.

In this way, Li Yu earned ten taels of silver from this meal, which was a considerable profit.

It was night time, and Housekeeper Zhao was afraid that it would be inconvenient for Li Yu and Han Xiaomei to walk at night, so he decided to send them there personally. The three of them chatted and laughed, and halfway through their journey they ran into Young Master Qin, Qin Siran.

Qin Siran did not attend the banquet. He had gone before, but this year there was a new person, Zheng Qiu, at the banquet. They did not get along, so he was too lazy to show up.

At this moment, he wanted to go to the kitchen to find something to eat and didn't want to run into anyone.

Qin Siran felt a little embarrassed, as this path only led to the kitchen. If anyone could see him now, it would show how greedy he was.

Qin Siran turned around and returned the same way, completely ignoring the shouts from Butler Zhao behind him. As a result, after only taking a few steps, someone came towards him from the opposite direction.

Qin Siran took a closer look and shouted, "Han Zheng, why are you here?"

Han Zheng glanced at Li Yu and Han Xiaomei, nodded and greeted them, then spoke to Qin Siran: "I'm here to pick up my family."

Qin Siran: "......"

It turns out that Mr. Li, who has become very famous in town recently, is a family member of Han Zheng. Doesn't that mean he can eat delicious braised meat every day?

Qin Siran shook his head, feeling that there seemed to be something wrong with his thoughts.

Han Zheng didn't want to watch Qin Siran in a daze. He walked around him and came to Li Yu and Han Xiaomei, "Second sister-in-law, Xiaomei, let's go home together."

Li Yu looked up at the sky, "Did you go home after school?"

Han Zheng shook his head: "I was studying in the school today. I thought that the matter between my second sister-in-law and Xiaomei was almost settled, so I came here."

Li Yu caught the loophole in his words and asked, "You didn't have dinner?"

Han Zheng: "I have eaten, with my husband."

Only then did Li Yu feel relieved.

The two of them were talking as if no one was around. Qin Siran's eyes almost popped out. It turned out that Han Zheng could still speak. Then why was he so dull in school? He never took the initiative to talk to others. He would often answer every question he was asked. He was extremely cold!

The shocked gaze behind him was as real as a physical object. Han Zheng frowned, but heard Li Yu smiling and greeting Qin Siran, "Hello, Master Qin."

Qin Siran was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Hello, Boss Li."

"It turns out that Master Qin and our Han Zheng are both in Mingtong Academy. What a coincidence. Han Zheng is young. If there is anything in his studies that offends you accidentally, please forgive me."

As the saying goes, you shouldn't hit someone who smiles at you. Besides, Li Yu's attitude was so gentle that Qin Siran couldn't put on airs anymore. He could only say politely, "Yes, I will."

"Thank you, Master Qin. Our family is not as wealthy as the Qin family, but I believe I have some cooking skills. If Master Qin wants to eat braised meat and dim sum one day, just let me know and I will make it for you."

When Qin Siran heard about the delicious food, his expression changed, "Really?"

"Of course." Li Yu said, "If Master Qin doesn't mind, you can come to our house for dinner."

Qin Siran agreed decisively.

It was already late in the evening when they got home. Ah-fu heard their voices and barked through the door.

Han Xiaomei got out of the car happily, opened the door and played with Ah Fu.

Li Yu and Han Zheng watched the happy scene of the man and the dog, and smiled at the same time. After a while, Li Yu closed the door, got some food for Ah Fu, and then washed up.

She doesn't have to go out to the stall tomorrow, so she feels relaxed.

However, not setting up the stall does not mean that there is nothing else to do. The rented shop needs to be renovated as soon as possible and everything needs to be put in place so that business can be done easily.

With the hope of further business development, Li Yu fell into a dream.

The next day, Han Zheng went to school as usual. After breakfast, Li Yu took Han Xiaomei to the town to tidy up the shop.

The shop had been cleared out and now there was nothing inside except an old counter.

Li Yu opened the paper she got from Han Zheng and put it on the counter. She took out the brush she had asked Han Zheng for in advance and began to draw the decoration plan carefully.

Because there are only two rooms, she doesn't plan to put too many things. She can just put three or four tables in one room and the other room to put the food for sale.

For food, in addition to braised meat, there is also porridge. It is not convenient to make porridge at home in winter because it gets cold easily, so we have to order two large stoves and large iron pots and make it directly here. There is a well not far from this shop, so it is convenient to get water.

As for braised meat, continue to make it at home. It is easy to clean and keeps it confidential.

As for the name of the store, let’s call it Delicious Shop. It’s simple and easy for customers to remember.

Li Yu listed them one by one, and after making sure there were no problems, he found someone to make them for him.

The stoves nowadays are not expensive, but the stove Li Yu wanted was big, so the price was more than doubled compared to the normal stoves. Originally, a stove cost 200 coins, but the one Li Yu wanted was 500 coins, half a meter high, and twice the diameter of a normal stove. Iron pots are always expensive, so Li Yu only made one first. When the porridge business is good, she will order a new one.

In addition, there were tables and chairs. After a morning, Li Yu had spent more than half of the ten taels of silver that she earned by cooking for the Qin family. She was spending money like water.

Li Yu felt a little distressed, but he also understood that some things could not be saved, so he had to comfort himself that he would be able to earn more in the future.

As the two were busy in the town, in Qingshui Village, an old lady walked towards the villagers with a cane.

"Miss, do you know Li Yu?"
