Stepmother in charge: Making a fortune through farming and raising her children to fight back

Wenyuan still had a gentle smile on his face.

"I'm so sorry, because today is the first day of our restaurant's opening, and the only side dishes we've prepared are braised meat. We'll be introducing other dishes soon. Sir, you can tell by looking at the other table of guests that our braised meat is also very delicious. I highly recommend you try it..."

The strong man's mouth twitched.

It’s so expensive, how can it not be delicious? That’s just a bit too expensive.

"Then bring me a pot of wine and a plate of peanuts. You run a tavern, so you should have these things, right?"

"A pot of wine is two taels of silver, but peanuts, no!" The clerk still patiently explained the situation in the store to the customer, without any impatience.

The burly man wanted to overturn the table after hearing this.

A pot of wine costs two taels of silver. How miserable is he? He has never tasted anything so expensive.

If he saw correctly, the wine jug on the table next to him was only slightly taller than his palm. How dare he ask for two taels of silver for such a small amount of kalami?!

"If you don't think it's suitable, why not just have a bowl of plain noodles? Eating warm, light, and refreshing plain noodles on a winter night is not only comfortable but also good for your stomach."

"Also, the base of these noodles is very rich and the price is not expensive, only one hundred coins a bowl."

One hundred coins for a bowl of noodles isn’t expensive! ?

The burly man really wanted to lift the table and throw it on the ground, but then he thought, this might be the cheapest thing in this tavern. Don't be angry, don't be angry, this is not the purpose of his visit today.

He took a deep breath and said with full energy: "Give me a bowl of plain noodles, with a generous portion!"

It’s just a hundred coins, he has plenty of them!

But after he finished speaking, he felt like crying.

One hundred coins, he could have bought several bowls of beef in other restaurants. If it weren't for other reasons, he would be crazy to spend so much money on a bowl of noodles.

"Yangchun noodles are here."

In a short while, Qin Li came up from the kitchen carrying a tray of suitable size.

On the bottom of the tray sat a steaming bowl of blue and white porcelain, filled with hand-rolled noodles.

The strong man looked at it carefully.

He had to take a good look at the plain noodles that cost a hundred cents a bowl.

The thin noodles are served in clear soup, and are simply garnished with some chopped green onions, which makes them look green and pleasing.

But no matter how green it is, it is just chopped green onion and cannot be turned into a jade bracelet.

There's really not a piece of meat in it!

The strong man picked up the chopsticks with grief and anger, and suddenly he was stunned.

These chopsticks... why do they seem to be made of silver?

He was a little bit unconvinced, but was too embarrassed to ask others, so he picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

As soon as the noodles entered his mouth, the strong man was stunned.

Not only is it smooth and chewy, it also has a unique flavor. The soup base is obviously too simple, but it contains a meaty aroma. Is this really Yangchun noodles?

He was suspicious in his heart, but his hands moved quickly. For a moment, the whole hall was filled with the sound of the strong man slurping noodles.

Gumbling--

When the strong man finished eating, he picked up the blue and white porcelain bowl and drank it all in one gulp, not even leaving out the chopped green onions. He put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully, then began to savor the taste.

Is this what Yangchun noodles should taste like?

A bowl of Yangchun noodles costs five cents outside. He eats it often, so how come he has never tasted anything like this?

Could it be that the stall owner outside cheated him?

"Sir, how do you like the food here? Does it taste good? Would you like something else?" Wen Yuan asked him with a smile.

The strong man came to his senses and looked at the bowl that he had eaten clean as new.

You talk as if there are other kinds of meat in this store, isn't it just braised pork?

But when he thought of this, the strong man couldn't help but be moved.

If ordinary Yangchun noodles can taste like this, how delicious must the expensive braised pork be?

"Give me... another bowl of plain noodles!" The strong man nodded with gritted teeth.

He spoke so loudly that he attracted the attention of County Magistrate Wang, who was busy eating pig's head.

"There's also Yangchun noodles. Why didn't you tell me just now?" County Magistrate Wang, with sauce still on the corners of his mouth, looked at Wen Yuan blankly.

After drinking the wine and eating the pork head, he felt so refreshed that he even forgot to order anything else.

After all, someone finally treated him to a meal, but he only ordered a pig's head. This was too shabby, as if he looked down on Brother Lu.

"If you have any other snacks to go with the wine, bring one up as well. We all need to eat our fill today."

Wenyuan looked at County Magistrate Wang and replied respectfully, "In addition to pig's head, we also have Yangchun noodles, braised beef, braised pig's ears, and other braised dishes. If you don't want to go with the wine, we also have our signature Huadiao drunken chicken. What would you like to have?"

Magistrate Wang: "..."

If only he had known there were so many delicious foods, he would have been half full after eating the pig's head. He must have suffered a huge loss this time.

Seeing his silence, Wen Yuan thought the magistrate was dissatisfied with the small number of dishes, so he quickly explained, "I'm really sorry, because we just opened today and the restaurant is not well prepared, so today's appetizer is only the braised pork."

"If we come here to eat tomorrow, what snacks will be available?" County Magistrate Wang asked almost subconsciously.

The others also stopped talking and waited silently for the answer.

"Tomorrow..." Wen Yuan looked at Qin Li as if asking for help.

Qin Li came over and clasped his fists: "We will also have these dishes tomorrow. Since we just opened, we won't be preparing any more."

County Magistrate Wang was silent.

Since these are the only dishes I’ve been eating lately, it has nothing to do with lack of preparation, right?

But because the braised meat is delicious, he will come again in a few days.

"Master Lu, would you like to try some Yangchun noodles?" As the host, County Magistrate Wang was very thoughtful.

Lu Lingdu nodded: "I just want one bowl."

County Magistrate Wang turned around and ordered, "Then serve us each another bowl of Yangchun noodles."

I originally thought that an old man like him could not finish a portion of pork head, but now I feel that it is not enough, so I add a bowl of plain noodles, which is just right.

After three bowls of Yangchun noodles were served, County Magistrate Wang nodded to Wen Yuan and said, "Give us another serving of pig's head."

"Two." Lu Lingdu corrected calmly.

County Magistrate Wang was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Young Master Lu, who looked so young, could eat so much.

The ignored advisor spoke silently, "Um... Sir, I feel I can have another portion, but I'm worried that sharing with you would be an insult to your status."

County Magistrate Wang nodded and said, "Then serve us three servings of pig's head."

Wang Ze saw that the remaining pig heads in the kitchen were getting less and less, so he immediately rushed over and said seriously, "Sir, you have already added a lot of dishes, and you ordered three more servings of pig heads. Isn't that a bit too much?"

"It's not much. There are three of us, so it's just enough for one person." County Magistrate Wang didn't think much about it. Since he was enjoying the meal, it didn't matter if he ate a little more.

"Just serve the food. Even if you can't finish it, you can take it home. It won't be wasted. As a parent official, I understand this."

After hearing the request for help, Wang Ze looked at Qin Li.

Don’t sell them all out, he hasn’t had a bite yet.

But the other party was a guest after all, and also the county magistrate. He couldn't just enjoy his meal without serving him food, so Qin Li chose to ignore his gaze.
