The first step in the book is to start selling tofu

"Just because you said you didn't put it there, does that mean you didn't put it there? I don't trust someone who sneaked into my kitchen." Lin Zhi retorted bluntly.

"I really didn't put poison there. Where would I find poison to put there?"

The woman was anxious. She just wanted to know the recipe of Lin Zhi's braising sauce, but she knew that if she asked others, they would definitely not tell her the recipe, so she wanted to come in and look for it herself.

Who knew she would be discovered before it even started, and now people are accusing her of poisoning.

I didn’t find the recipe and got myself into trouble.

"Mrs. Li, you are not jealous because other people cook delicious food, are you? People say that you and your husband have no talent for cooking, so don't be so obsessed with food!"

An older man in the crowd spoke up.

The wife of the old Li family denied it in a panic: "Manager Hong, don't put all the blame on me.

Isn't it just that we are occupying a little space in your shop to put a table? If you don't want to, you should come and tell us. If you didn't tell us, I thought you agreed. Who knew that you harbored resentment in your heart and actually made trouble for me at this time. "

Although, she and her husband did not give up on opening the restaurant, as they believed that the last failure was only due to the bad food recipe.

I had been planning to optimize the formula myself and keep trying.

The couple buried themselves in their research at home, but made no progress at all.

When she went out for some fresh air today, she smelled the fragrance from Lin Zhi's house, and she wanted to ask Lin Zhi for advice.

But for some reason, she was blinded by greed and wanted to steal the recipe.

Old Li's wife and Shopkeeper Hong were still arguing, but Lin Zhi didn't want to listen anymore:

"You can fight about your family's lawsuit when you get home, but settle my family's affairs first."

"I said I didn't poison!" Old Li's wife replied loudly and stopped making excuses.

I acted like, you can say whatever you want, I just didn't do it.

Some people in the crowd saw that Old Li's wife was so determined and thought that she really didn't do such a despicable thing. So someone came out to persuade Lin Zhi.

"This was food that I was going to eat, and she didn't do anything about it, but I didn't dare to sell it. In the end, when something really went wrong, people came to me for trouble, not her."

Lin Zhi was sure that Old Li's wife had not put anything in the pot, but this was a good time to become famous and establish her authority, so how could Lin Zhi miss this opportunity?

We are all businessmen, and we all know the consequences if something really goes wrong.

Those who tried to persuade him stopped trying.

They don't have a close relationship with Lao Li's wife, so they can't guarantee her character.

Who knows whether she really didn't poison or was just pretending not to poison.

They couldn't afford the consequences of her actually poisoning them.

Old Li's wife, who thought she could be persuaded by everyone, was disappointed. However, she had come to her senses and was not afraid at the moment.

As long as she denies it, what can Lin Zhi do to her without evidence?

The most she could do is apologize.

"You said you didn't poison, but I don't believe you. I said you poisoned, but you didn't admit it. In this case, let's report it to the authorities and wait for them to make a judgment."

"You can't report it to the police!"

"Don't report it to the police!"

As soon as Lin Zhi finished speaking, voices of opposition were heard.

There were two voices, one male and one female. The female voice came from the daughter-in-law of the old Li family, and the male voice came from the door.

"Old Li is here."

"Shopkeeper Li is here."

From what everyone said, Lin Zhi knew that it was Lao Li.

"Don't report it to the police!"

Lao Li squeezed through the crowd and emphasized again not to call the police.

"My wife was foolish for a moment, but she is not a vicious person and would never do such a thing as poisoning."

As Old Li spoke, he walked to his wife's side and blocked her figure with his not-so-tall body.

You can tell at first glance that he loves his wife.

"You are her husband, so of course you are on her side." Lin Zhi said calmly, "You said she didn't poison you, but what do you have to guarantee it?"

This was obviously not going to end well. Old Li turned to look at his wife, who was looking regretful, and gritted his teeth and said, "I can't promise. I know you won't believe anything I say right now, so I will pay for the things in your kitchen that you suspect were poisoned at full price."

Lao Li's wife pulled Lao Li's sleeve disapprovingly. There didn't seem to be much food in there, but there was a lot of meat. How much money would it cost to compensate?

Besides, she didn't poison anything in the first place, so if she really spent the money, it would be a waste of money.

Mr. Li was unmoved by his wife's actions.

Compared with reporting to the police, paying some money is nothing!

Is the government something that ordinary people can touch? No matter how big or small the matter is, as long as you enter the government, you will lose a layer of skin.

Lin Zhi really admires people like Lao Li and feels a little embarrassed to cheat him.

"Do you know how much it costs to cook this pot of food?" Lin Zhi asked, pointing at the big pot of brine.

Upon hearing this, Old Li turned his attention to the big pot.

He was so worried about his wife that he didn't pay attention to the surrounding things. Now his attention was focused on the big pot.

I was immediately attracted by the aroma of the big pot.

He and his wife were determined to open a restaurant because they both loved to eat. They thought of opening a restaurant so that they could sell food and eat at the same time.

Who would have thought that, apart from a few visits from people from surrounding shops who came to buy food during the opening, not a single serving was sold to the outside world.

The prepared food was finally consumed by the couple.

Old Li sniffed and the smell was so fragrant.

It smelled so good that he forgot what he was doing for a moment and walked towards the cauldron like a wandering soul.

"Old Li!"

Lao Li's wife yelled, and Lao Li came back to his senses. Then he found that he had walked to the side of the pot without knowing when, and his hand was about to open the lid.

"How much?" asked Lao Li.

Lin Zhi thought he was asking about the cost of making that pot of braised food, and was about to answer him, but he asked the same question right after that.

"How much do you charge for a meal like this?"

After saying this, Lao Li licked the corner of his mouth.

He wants to eat!

I wonder if it would be okay to let this Mrs. Lin sell him some food first and then talk about compensation.

Lin Zhi was speechless, but since he was a potential customer after all, he still answered his question in a good-tempered manner:

"Fat intestine noodles cost ten cents a bowl."

Like everyone else, Lao Li's first reaction was the same. He felt that ten cents for a bowl of noodles was too expensive.

"Can you sell me a bowl first and then talk about compensation?"

It is expensive, but it smells so good, so there must be a reason why it is expensive.

"Old Li, don't worry about it. The pig intestine noodles have been sold out long ago."

The carpenter's wife, who was eating grilled tofu while watching the show, interrupted his thoughts.

Old Li was disappointed.

Old Li didn't give up.

"Is there really nothing left? It smells so good in there, it can't be empty, right?"
