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

Li Yu thought it was Lu Xuan's elder brother Lu Xun looking for her. After all, apart from Mr. Ye and the cooks of Jinyulou, Lu Xun was the only one who knew her address.

However, the person waiting at the door was not Lu Xun, but Mo Changlin, the judge today.

Li Yu was stunned, and immediately became alert.

Mo Changlin seemed not to notice her expression and bowed slightly: "Madam Li, I have heard about you from my younger sister (the county magistrate's wife) and have also seen you in the capital. I am taking the liberty to visit you tonight because I want to talk to you about something."

Li Yu: “…”

After standing there for a while, she turned sideways to let Mo Changlin in.

In the yard, Mr. Ye was extremely surprised to see Mo Changlin.

For a few moments, he opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word.

Fortunately, he had seen many storms and soon recovered to normal. Then he greeted Mo Changlin calmly: "Why is Doctor Mo coming here tonight?"

Mo Changlin cupped his hands and said, "I have something to ask Madam Li."

When Mr. Ye heard him directly mention Li Yu's last name, he was shocked again.

"Doctor Mo, do you know Boss Li?"

Mo Changlin nodded, "When I went to Beijing last year, I went to Li Ji Hot Pot Restaurant and BBQ Restaurant."

Mr. Ye: “…”

*

He knew her, but how did he know that Li Yu was in Beizhou Prefecture and found this place? Mr. Ye was very puzzled.

He wanted to know more, but it was obvious that what Mo Changlin and Li Yu said next was not suitable for outsiders to hear, so he had to avoid them temporarily.

Inside the house, Li Yu poured a cup of tea for Mo Changlin.

Mo Changlin looked at her, and when she put down the teapot, he immediately said, "The person who proposed to number the two stir-fried scallops dishes at the competition site this morning must be Madam Li."

Without waiting for Li Yu to answer, he paused for a moment and continued, "Although Madam Li is dressed as a man and deliberately speaks in a thicker voice, there are flaws in what you did."

Li Yu paused while holding the cup. "Where's the flaw?"

Mo Changlin gestured at the position of his throat and said: "When you pretend to speak like a man, it may be because you are anxious or for other reasons, and sometimes your original voice will be revealed inadvertently."

Li Yu: “?”

Is that so? She has never noticed it, and no one around her has reminded her.

Mo Changlin: "But don't worry, Madam Li. When you speak as a man, your original voice only lasts for a very short time. No one will notice it except those with keen perception and good hearing."

Li Yu: “…” Why does it feel like he is praising himself?

*

Putting down the teacup, Li Yu said, "Thank you, Doctor Mo, for pointing it out. I will pay more attention to it in the future. But I want to know, why did you find this place?"

Mo Changlin did not beat around the bush and said, "Of course I found out. Lu Xuan has been with Madam Li for more than a year. Madam Li should be able to understand the capabilities of our Mo family guards from him."

Li Yu: “…”

Mo Changlin smiled and said, "Madam Li, don't worry. Our Mo family doesn't want to be enemies with anyone. As long as you don't attack us, we won't cause trouble for you."

If all the members of the Mo family were the same as the county magistrate's wife and Lu Xuan, then she would believe it.

Looking at the man who could be his father, Li Yu asked about business: "Doctor Mo just said he had something to say, can you please tell me now?"

Mo Changlin nodded: "It's something related to food. To be honest, Madam Li, I have been studying medicinal food for the past two years, but I don't know how to cook and can't perfectly combine medicine and food. Madam Li, you have a lot of experience in cooking, so I came here to ask you for advice."

Is that just the case?

Li Yu couldn't express her feelings, but if it came to making medicinal food, she could help.

*

Next, Li Yu wrote a few lists of medicinal foods that he knew in modern times to Mo Changlin, and also discussed with Mo Changlin the proportions of the medicinal foods he had already made.

Time passed by unknowingly, and in the blink of an eye, it was only half an hour left until midnight.

Mo Changlin stood up and said goodbye.

Before leaving, he said, "Madam Li, thank you for your help. I've made note of what happened today. In return, you can make any request you want. As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you do it."

Li Yu thought for a moment and said, "I am friends with Manager Ye of Jinyulou, and I came here to see him. But Doctor Mo also knows that Jinyulou is in trouble with other restaurants. If possible, can Doctor Mo help Jinyulou at a critical moment in the future?"

Mo Changlin had guessed that she would say this, and said, "This is just a small matter, don't worry, Madam Li. Jinyulou is a good restaurant, and I believe it can continue to operate in Beizhou Prefecture for a long time."

Perhaps it was because Lu Xuan and the county magistrate's wife were too good members of the Mo family, or perhaps it was because Mo Changlin had a high reputation among the people, Li Yu believed Mo Changlin.

*

The next day, Li Yu visited Lu Xun again.

She asked the chef of Jinyulou to cook and bought some snacks that women liked to eat and sent them to him. If he hadn't found cheese the night before, Jinyulou might not have won this time.

He helped them a lot.

A few days ago, Lu Xun heard the county magistrate's wife and Lu Xuan mention Li Yu. Although they praised Li Yu highly, he didn't quite believe it.

He always believed that if a woman was stronger than many men, her temper would definitely not be very good. After all, a woman with a gentle personality could not control a man.

But Li Yu broke her perception. She was calm, intelligent, and able to do things with ease.

Especially during the competition yesterday, she showed courage and boldness, which made him understand why Lu Xuan ignored the Mo family's guards and insisted on following Li Yu.

"Lady Li, please come find me next time you come to Beizhou Prefecture." Lu Xun carried the food that Li Yu brought with him, and said seriously, "I will continue to trouble Lady Li to take care of my brother in the future."

Li Yu nodded.

Next, Li Yu stayed for another five or six days.

She taught the chefs at Jinyulou how to cook several new dishes, and taught the people at the milk tea shop how to make new types of milk tea and fried chicken. She also went to a hot pot restaurant and a barbecue restaurant, taking this opportunity to teach everyone everything she needed to learn.

After everyone had done their job properly, she prepared to leave.

Mr. Ye hoped that Li Yu would stay for a few more days, but Li Yu refused after considering it.

She had already done what she was supposed to do this time, so there was no need to stay any longer.

What's more, several restaurants, led by Beizhou Yipinju, have been looking for her in recent days.

Because she disrupted their plans on the day of the competition, they have been wanting to capture and punish her, and recently sent a number of people to inquire about her whereabouts.

Although she was sure that they couldn't find her, she still wanted to be safe. So she decided to leave quickly while nothing was wrong.

Mr. Ye saw that Li Yu had made up her mind and did not try to persuade her to stay.

At noon that day, Li Yu finished his meal, packed up and set off.

They rode at full speed all the way and arrived at a town in the evening to stay overnight.
