Everyone was quite surprised to see Lan Lizhou coming back alone. They thought that he had an identity and would return to his original life.

Not to mention some revenge spending, I would also buy new clothes and sleep in a different place. Now nothing has changed.

Of course, the confusion that once lingered between his brows is gone, and he looks much more energetic.

In theory, the capital is far away from here, otherwise they would not have been exiled here.

It took them more than a month to walk. If they rode on horseback, it would take half a month. If they took a boat, it would be shorter, still about 10 days.

As a rich second-generation, why are you here?

Xu Si was a little curious, so he asked.

"This is not a secret. Ah Cai said that my father asked me to come here and take a look at what tribute I can offer."

Although the Lan family is the head of the imperial merchants, money is only one aspect, the most important thing is the appreciation of the royal family.

The imperial merchants had to search for valuable things for the palace every year, and they competed with each other, which also put them under certain pressure.

Generally, as soon as the tribute of this year is presented, people would start looking for next year's tribute.

Shen Yanchen couldn't help but complain, "Is your father's brain okay? This place isn't rich to begin with, what can we find? Wouldn't it be easier to find it in the south?"

Everyone looked at him with disapproval. Although they thought so in their hearts, they couldn't say it out loud because he was someone else's father after all.

"I don't know about that." Lan Lizhou did not refute.

At present, his understanding of his father is based on Acai's narration, and he himself cannot be sure what the other party is thinking.

"If you were sent here for something, why did your second brother come?"

He is a little kid and is very much loved, so his family is really at ease letting him go out.

"He insisted on coming, saying he wanted to see the scenery here."

This is also what Ah Cai told me. Originally, my father was unwilling to agree, but he acted like a spoiled child and, with the help of Aunt Qiu's persuasion, he agreed and asked me to take good care of my younger brother.

It is said that the child was always finding trouble along the way, saying this was uncomfortable and that was unpalatable.

I didn't want to argue with him, but I didn't expect that he almost cost me my life.

He didn't know what he was thinking before, but if he fell into his hands again when he returned this time, he would never let him off easily.

If a tiger doesn't show its power, people would think it has a good temper.

As they chatted, it was time for dinner to be served. Everyone stopped talking and went about their business.

Lan Lizhou also worked naturally as usual. He used to think that this was a burden of life, but now he felt that it was a rare experience.

Perhaps the fundamental reason lies in the difference between having money and having no money.

With money, there is no pressure and you are happy doing anything, after all, you have a bottom line.

Selling boxed lunches is not like selling cold noodles. There is no need for someone to wait and assemble them, which greatly frees up hands.

Xu Si took out the pig skin jelly, which had completely solidified. He scratched the edge with a bamboo stick and carefully peeled it from the basin.

Cut into thin slices, add a sauce and that's it.

Today's box lunch dishes include deep-fried fresh mushrooms, dried tofu with garlic sprouts, cold shredded kelp, shredded cowpea and pork, fish chunks with soy sauce, and stir-fried pork intestines.

The guests were quite resistant to pig intestines at first. After all, in everyone's impression, pig intestines are something smelly, and what is the difference between eating them and eating shit.

Later I found out that other people were enjoying it and it was highly recommended by them. After trying it, I fell in love with it.

Especially when stir-fried, the chili flavor is strong, in contrast, the pig intestines no longer have any smell.

Of course, they wash it clean, after all, they have to eat it themselves.

Xu Si was a little confused about this dish at first, not knowing whether to add it to the menu, mainly because it is not easy to clean.

After An Yu learned about it, he firmly stated that he could do it, and after repeated persuasion, she finally made up her mind.

In the novels she had read, most of the heroines traveled through time and space, and the setting was usually that no one wanted pig intestines, so the heroine spent a little money or no money to get them, and then made them into a delicacy, starting from selling pig intestines and becoming rich.

But in fact, the vinegar, salt and flour needed to clean the pig intestines are all a considerable cost.

If you don't use these for cleaning, why use wood ash? The smell won't be removed at all, and there's nothing wrong with everyone's sense of smell.

It stinks when you wash. I can't tell whether I'm looking for intestines in shit or shit in intestines. After I'm done, I feel like I can't keep my hands anymore. This is when they make their own soap.

They made their fortune from this. I can’t imagine what the hands of those heroines looked like. That’s pretty impressive.

What they ate in the evening was the leftover boxed lunches and some pork skin jelly.

Lan Lizhou had been looking forward to it for a long time. He picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and dipped it thoroughly in the sauce with a clear goal.

It was really delicious, so I knew that his decision to come back was the right one.

Thinking of the reason why Lan Lizhou came here, Shen Anyi suggested, "Why don't you take advantage of this time to search for some good stuff? If you find something new, it will be worth the trip."

Who knows when the next time I'll be here will be.

Lan Lizhou shook his head. "I won't look for it anymore. It doesn't seem interesting. It's not as novel as the cake. It's a pity that I can't take this back."

He has been here for quite some time, so he knows everything.

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it to heart. Xu Si's heart moved, and he asked tentatively, "How about we cooperate?"

"what?"

"I just give you the cake recipe, or you send someone to learn from me, and then you can take it away. You can sell it somewhere else, and I don't care what the price is. I just want a share of the profits."

Xu Si had long had the idea of ​​collaborating with someone to sell cakes, but he just had no suitable person.

It is enough for them to have one company in the county. If they want to sell more, they will have to go somewhere else. This is not only a matter of funds, but also requires a certain geographical foundation.

The Lan family is so wealthy that they must have shops in many places, so they can promote their business and open up more markets.

Compared to others, she was more willing to trust Lan Lizhou, after all, they were friends.

"I need to think about this again."

Lan Lizhou did not agree directly. He had not yet fully grasped his situation and the matter still needed to be discussed in detail.

In the following days, Acai would come over every day. As soon as he saw Lan Lizhou was going to do something, he would take it over himself. Naturally, there was one more person to eat.

When Ah Cai ate the employee meal for the first time, he couldn't help feeling a little resentful. No wonder the young master didn't want to leave. It turned out that in addition to boxed lunches, the young master also had a special meal.

Lan Lizhou silently turned his head away, not wanting to look at his strange gaze, but he quickened the pace of his eating.

Food tastes better when people rush to eat it.

And if I don’t eat more, I don’t know if I will be able to eat it again in the future.
