At the market east of Lu County, Chunju stretched her neck, looked left and right, and finally saw Yu Ruyue and others setting up a stall.

She hurriedly went to greet them, "You are finally here."

"How many gimbaps did you make? Bring me a hundred of them, and eight pounds of spicy snails. Oh, and my mistress asked me to ask if you have any other novelties that would be good for entertaining guests."

Yu Ruyue's eyes lit up instantly when she heard this. She pulled Chunju aside and said, "I do have a lot of novel foods here, but the ingredients are more complicated and the prices are higher. I wonder if your lady can..."

Chunju understood immediately, "Don't worry, Sister Yue. Let me tell you in secret, our young lady is the young lady of the Li family! She can afford any amount of money!"

Yu Ruyue was surprised. "Is that the richest man in Lu County? The Li family who is about to celebrate their birthday!?"

Chunju immediately straightened her chest and nodded, "Of course, but my mistress told me not to tell anyone, fearing that someone with ulterior motives might do something bad. But after being in contact with you for such a long time, I don't think you are a bad person, so please don't say anything!"

Yu Ruyue nodded quickly, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

"Go back and tell your young lady that I can also make sandwiches, sausages, egg sausages, smoked fish, spicy fish, braised pork rice, desserts and pasta."

"There's nothing I can't do, only things you can't think of."

"That's right! I can also make cakes, which are also a kind of dessert. I can write a big longevity character on it. In my mother's hometown, people always eat longevity noodles and cakes on birthdays."

"Or, talk to your young lady and ask her to make a little less of each dish so that she can taste it in advance. Then she can give me the bread."

Chunju glared at her angrily, "How dare you say that!? The banquets in our Li Mansion have always been custom-made at Tianfulou in Liuzhou Prefecture, or we directly invite the master chef from Tianfulou to the Li Mansion to make them!"

"It's not that I look down on you, it's just that you are simply not comparable to Tianfulou, which has been operating for hundreds of years."

Yu Ruyue said with a smile, "Sister Chunju, what you said is not right. What do you want to compare? If we compare novelty, Tianfulou is definitely not as novel as me."

"If your daughter wants a truly impressive and memorable meal, come and try me. It's definitely delicious and affordable."

As she spoke, she took out a tael of silver from her pocket and prepared to give it to him.

Chunju quickly pushed the silver back, "Do you still have any shame? You actually want to force silver on me? I am a principled person, I will never accept it!"

Yu Ruyue said a little embarrassedly, "Isn't this the norm here? We have to pay for everything we do, and is face more important than making money? I'm almost going crazy with poverty, so of course I'll make as much as I can."

When Chunju brought the news back, Qin Wanrou covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed softly, "The little girl you mentioned is quite interesting. These days, everyone values integrity and looks down on merchants like us. They say we will bow down for a living and not for money. I think it's all bullshit."

“Only when you have money in your hands can you have face.”

Chunju also nodded in agreement, "You don't know, Yu Ruyue seems to be often bullied in the village..."

Chunju recounted the excitement she had witnessed that day, and Qin Wanrou became a little angry. "How could that old woman and that woman be so shameless? It was clearly their cooking that wasn't tasty, and yet they wanted to blackmail that little girl?"

"Oh right! Who are Su Mei'er and Meng Qi? Why haven't I heard of them?"

Chunju pursed her lips and said, "Miss, you don't know that Meng Qi seems to be the daughter of the Qingzhu Restaurant, the restaurant that claims to only cater to scholars. In fact, the food is very unpalatable, and only those foolish scholars who care about reputation would go there."

"As for Su Mei'er, her mother was the wet nurse hired by Concubine Hua for Li Lin. She has been in the mansion for seven years now."

Qin Wanrou was surprised. "What? That Yang Mama!"

Chunju nodded inexplicably.

Qin Wanrou really didn't expect that the old lady with a simple and honest face could give birth to such a mentally abnormal daughter.

She thought about it and finally said, "We still have to use Tianfulou for the banquet, but since this little girl is so interesting, it's not impossible to add a couple of dishes from her place."

"Tell her to bring two of her signature dishes over for me to try tomorrow."

"If they're good, I'll keep these two dishes. If they're not, I won't even order the kimbap from her. Just tell her what I'm saying and ask her if she dares to accept it."

Yu Ruyue, who had already bought everything, stood there, looking forward to it impatiently!

The Li family is the richest family!

I heard that he was so rich that even the floor of his house was paved with gold. I wonder if it would be blinding when the sun came up at noon! ?

"Ruyue? Do you still want to wait? How long has it been? The Li family is so wealthy that they even have people who test for poison in their food. They wouldn't let strangers prepare food for the banquet. I'm afraid even the seaweed buns were just a casual suggestion by that lady."

Yu Ruyue shook her head, her eyes determined. "I know it's unlikely, but what if?! Anyway, it's just a waste of time. I'll wait here for you to go back and continue making gimbap and stuffing sausages. I'll definitely be back before dark."

Liang Shulan immediately objected, "No, I don't feel comfortable with you being out there alone."

Yu Dehou also nodded. "It's really too dangerous for you to be outside alone. How about this? I'll take your mother and the others to buy some things, and you wait here. If no one comes after we finish shopping, we can go back."

Yu Ruyue knew that since her last sudden death, it had left a huge shadow on her parents. Even though she came here and had the space to show them various life-saving methods, the two of them were still very worried and really wanted to be with her all the time.

In the end, she had no choice but to compromise and said, "Okay, then go shopping first!"

"And buy some new clothes."

Liang Shulan and Yu Dehou then nodded and left with peace of mind.

Yu Ruyue just squatted there and waited until the vendors nearby had passed by one after another. Yu Dehou and Liang Shulan came back with a cart full of things, but still no one showed up.

Yu Ruyue thought to herself, I really thought too simply. How could such a wealthy family possibly deal with peasants like them? The gap between the two sides was as huge as heaven and earth.

But she was not discouraged. She would seize any opportunity she got. What if one of them succeeded?
