"nature."

After earning three hundred taels of silver, Li Xi sold three more cookbooks.

Hu Zi was watching Li Xi and Su Jianye when they were trading. When they were on their way home, he looked up in confusion and said, "Sister, why can a few pieces of paper be sold for so much money?"

Although Huzi is small, he is very sensitive about money. When his mother gave the silver to his bad grandmother, she said that there were only more than 30 taels in the family.

Their family had only earned more than 30 taels for so many years, but my sister earned 300 taels in just one trip.

He knew that he would need a lot of money to go to school, and he also wanted to make money to give to his sister.

Li Xi did not treat Hu Zi perfunctorily just because he was a child.

“Making money is easy for those who know how to do it, but difficult for those who don’t. The important thing is to find the right opportunity to make money.

For example, the last time we went to Yunlai Restaurant, it was deserted with no customers. How could we make any money?"

"No." Hu Zi shook his head.

"Huzi, think about it carefully and tell me why there were no customers at Yunlai Restaurant at that time?"

Hu Zi tilted his head and thought about it, his eyes lit up, "Because the chef's cooking is not delicious."

"Yes." Li Xi looked at Hu Zi affirmatively and persuaded him, "Because the chef's cooking is not delicious, customers don't go to Yunlai Restaurant.

Then Huzi should think about how to get customers to go to Yunlai Restaurant."

"Give him a delicious recipe." Hu Zi thought of the two dishes made by his brother Gu Yin. They were much more delicious than what he had eaten today.

"Yes, the chef's bad cooking is the pain point of Yunlai Restaurant. If Manager Su wants to make money, he must change.

And I happen to be the one who can help him change and bring Yunlai Restaurant back to life.

With such an opportunity in front of him, he naturally would not refuse it. "

Huzi nodded and drew inferences from one example, "He made money from the braised spareribs and squirrel mandarin fish, and he wanted to make more money, so he continued to buy recipes."

"Hu Zi is awesome." Li Xi gave him a thumbs up and praised, "Whose child is this? How come he is so smart? Turns out he is from my family."

Hu Zi had never heard such straightforward praise before. His face turned red and he muttered softly, "Sister~"

Li Xi looked at his cute appearance and rubbed the little tuft on his head, "Huzi, why are you so cute?"

……

Jiayuguan, military camp.

As the most important pass in the northwest border, Jiayuguan faced the invasion of the Huns all year round and blocked the Huns outside the pass countless times over hundreds of years.

The ancient city walls are covered with traces of time, swords, spears, halberds, and the blood of both enemies and friends.

The person guarding Jiayu Pass was General Gu Feng, King of Zhenbei of the Dayan Dynasty, whose courtesy name was Changfeng.

Gu Feng has only one son, Gu Jing, whose courtesy name is Jingzhi. He disappeared while pursuing the Huns some time ago. After the news came back, it was suppressed by Gu Changfeng and only the senior officials in the military camp knew about it.

Gu Changfeng sent people to search secretly, but found nothing until half a month ago when Gu Jingzhi appeared in the military camp safe and sound.

The first thing he did after returning to the military camp was to capture the deputy general Pang Yizi.

Pang Yizi is an old man in the Zhenbei Army. Externally, he made great achievements in the war against the Huns. Internally, he is also famous for his good popularity in the barracks.

No one expected that the major general would actually order people to arrest him.

At one time, countless people came to Gu Changfeng to plead for mercy.

"General, the young general arrested Deputy General Pang as soon as he returned. Is there some misunderstanding?"

"Yes, General, it must be a misunderstanding. You know Lieutenant General Pang. He led his brothers through life and death, and every battle was fought with his own life!"

"Major General, even if you are a major general, you cannot arrest people for no reason."

Gu Jingzhi didn't say anything, his eyes swept across their faces. Lu Chaoxian, He Zan, Ma Weipo, they were on the same level as Pang Yizi and they sometimes had friction with each other in daily life. He didn't expect them to stand up and support Pang Yizi at this time.

Gu Changfeng's expression changed. "I know you are just too concerned. Don't worry. There has never been any unjust, false or wrongful conviction in the Zhenbei Army."

Lu Xianchao and the other two were shocked when they heard this. What this meant was...

Gu Changfeng glanced at the expressions of the three of them, "The matter has not been investigated clearly yet. It is good for him to be isolated at this time. Do you understand?"

"General, I understand." Ma Weipo didn't have any tricks in his mind. He just listened to the general's explanation.

However, Lu Chaoxian and He Zan looked at each other and had a bad feeling in their hearts. Could it be that Lao Pang really did something stupid?

Even though they had a lot of thoughts in their minds, Lu Chaoxian and the others still apologized to Gu Changfeng and his son, saying that they were too reckless this time and they would definitely not do it again next time.

Gu Changfeng knew that they had no bad intentions and they just didn't want to see their colleagues being wronged, so he naturally wouldn't blame them and waved his hand to let them leave.

After they left, Gu Changfeng frowned and asked Gu Jingzhi beside him, "Are you sure it was him?"

Gu Jingzhi nodded, "OK."

Gu Changfeng sighed and looked towards the north with a dim gaze, as if he could see through the tent the grassland where the battle had taken place.

"Pang Yizhi is a good guy, otherwise Lu Chaoxian and the other three wouldn't have pleaded for him just now.

He has been with me in the battlefield for so many years, fighting and risking his life, and I never thought that one day he would become like this."

Gu Jingzhi was not idle during the time he was missing. He secretly contacted his people and asked them to see what kind of monsters would jump out after he disappeared.

He is the only son of his father, and the Zhenbei Army has only one young master. Once the news of his disappearance spreads, the morale of the Zhenbei Army will surely drop sharply, and various forces will surely take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

He was ambushed while chasing the Huns, but the people who were chasing him were not Huns. There must be another hidden story.

He guessed that there was a spy in the Zhenbei Army, but he didn't expect it to be Pang Yizi.

"People change." Gu Jingzhi touched his injured abdomen with his hand, and the expression on his face relaxed for a moment, but only for a moment.

He said expressionlessly, "According to the investigation, Pang Yizhi had a mistress who gave birth to a son for him."

Gu Changfeng paused and closed his eyes. So that’s it, so that’s it!

Pang Yizi was born into a humble family, he was just an ordinary farmer's child, but he was hardworking and brave enough to fight on the battlefield.

He made many achievements on the battlefield, and his superior at the time saw that he was a promising talent and married his only daughter to him.

Pang Yizi is talented and married to his boss's daughter, making him the envy of many people. However, he is not a perfect man in the eyes of others, and others always talk about him with a bit of regret.

Unfortunately, his wife gave birth to five daughters for him, each of whom could have inherited his legacy.

He himself looked as if he didn't care, which made those who wanted to laugh at him become a laughing stock.
