The Bully General's Spiritual Husband

Yin Baicai was unaware that a surprise awaited her ahead.

After finishing breakfast, carrying her small basket for going to the market, Yin Baicai happily walked towards the village entrance.

Today is the day to hand over the recipes to Manager Zhang, and also the day I collect the money.

Yin Baicai, thinking about the money she would soon receive, was overjoyed.

Even when he encountered the annoying Liu Xiaoqing on his way here, he still had a smile on his face.

Seeing Yin Baicai smile at him, Liu Xiaoqing fled as if he had seen a ghost. He had always suspected that Yin Baicai was possessed by something unclean.

The fact that Yin Baicai is smiling at me now is probably because the filth on him is targeting me.

Watching Liu Xiaoqing flee far away from her, Yin Baicai muttered to herself, "Why is he running so fast? Is a ghost chasing him?"

At the village entrance, Li Zhe woke Li Mo up early in the morning and told him that he was going to take him to town today.

Li Mo was so happy that he couldn't sleep anymore. After finishing breakfast, he kept looking in the direction of Yin Baicai's house.

Li Zhe locked the courtyard gate and waited with Li Mo at their own door for Yin Baicai to come over.

He wouldn't let Yin Baicai go to town alone; what would happen if this young man secretly went to the gambling den behind his back?

As soon as Yin Baicai came into view, Li Mo waved to him incessantly: "Mother, Momo is over here."

Yin Baicai was puzzled. Could it be that the uncle and nephew were also going to the market? If so, they could go together and keep each other company.

Yin Baicai had already told Zhang Cui and Grandma Wu yesterday that he would let Ge Tian and the others rest today, so he wouldn't go to their place to buy groceries, and would go tomorrow.

Zhang Cui and her husband went to town early in the morning, before dawn, carrying the vegetables they had grown themselves to sell.

As Yin Baicai approached, Li Mo threw herself into his arms.

She said sweetly, "Mom, I want to hold your hand."

"Okay, I'll pull you up."

"Li, you bully, you're going to the market too? I didn't hear you mention it yesterday."

Li Zhe had only decided to go because he overheard Yin Baicai and Ge Tian talking. He also wanted to keep an eye on Yin Baicai so that he wouldn't sneak off to the gambling den again.

"Oh, let's go to town and take a look. I'll take Xiao Mo there for a stroll."

Yin Baicai still felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure it out for the time being.

He decided to stop thinking about it and took Li Mo's hand, walking ahead while Li Zhe followed behind them at a leisurely pace.

A dark glint flashed in Li Zhe's eyes as he followed behind. "Brother Cai, I'm keeping a close eye on you. Let's see how you sneak into the gambling den now."

The sunlight shone on the muddy road from the branches of the trees along the mountain path, casting shadows of the branches. A warm breeze blew through the air, and Yin Baicai regretted that she had forgotten to bring an ice pack to keep going.

Li Mo followed Yin Baicai's steps with his short legs, a little sweat on his forehead.

Yin Baicai took out a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped Li Mo's face. "Little Mo, are you tired? Let's find a place to rest for a while!"

Li Mo felt that she was not tired, but she saw that Yin Baicai was sweating.

Nodding, she said, "Mom, Momo is tired. Let's rest for a while."

Yin Baicai happily pulled Li Mo to sit on a rock, thinking: This mountain path is really difficult to walk, and I won't be able to keep up with carrying things for a while.

But this little devil Mo is really amazing; he walked for so long with his short legs without ever complaining of being tired.

Li Zhe stood beside the two of them, waiting for them to rest before continuing their journey.

For the second half of the journey, Li Zhe carried Li Mo on his back, afraid that walking too much would tire Li Mo out.

Finally, they arrived in town. As soon as Yin Baicai stepped into the town, she heard passersby talking about things like kidnapping people and the wealthy Huang.

Li Zhe also learned from passersby that after he left, the Huang family and the county government sent people to search for Yang Hu, whom they had abducted.

But all their efforts were in vain. How could they possibly find someone? Qingshui Town is neither too big nor too small. How could it be so easy to find someone?

Furthermore, Jiang Su and his group hid the person in their courtyard, which was the most chaotic and unpleasant place in Qingshui Town. Finding someone there was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Yin Baicai took Li Mo to Manager Zhang of Hongxilou Restaurant to give him the recipes.

As soon as I entered, I saw Manager Zhang and Xiao Si smiling broadly. Even though it was still early, the restaurant was already full of customers.

Manager Zhang instructed Xiao Si to take Yin Baicai and the other two to a private room upstairs.

As business gradually improved, Manager Zhang also tidied up the upstairs private rooms, as some distinguished guests did not like to eat in the crowded main hall.

Eating in a private room upstairs suited them perfectly.

Xiao Si respectfully said to Yin Baicai, "Young Master Yin, please go upstairs and rest for a while. The shopkeeper will come over when he's finished with his work."

Yin Baicai lifted Li Mo onto a stool and waved to Xiao Si: "Go and help out, I see there are quite a few customers downstairs!"

Xiao Si nodded and left. Indeed, ever since their restaurant adopted the recipes and the "points system" given by Young Master Yin, the number of customers coming to eat had been increasing.

Even though it's not mealtime yet, quite a few customers have already come in.

Yin Baicai pushed open the window of the private room and looked down. She happened to see the snobbish waiter from the restaurant across the street looking at Manager Zhang and his restaurant with an unhappy expression.

Yin Baicai scoffed inwardly: Wasn't this waiter very arrogant before? This is just an appetizer. Hongxilou's business will definitely be better than yours in the future.

Yin Baicai learned a lot about what the restaurant across the street was doing from Manager Zhang. Logically speaking, Hongxi Restaurant is an old establishment that has been around for more than ten years, so how come it has no customers at all?

It turns out that Fu Man Lou across the street was secretly sabotaging them, poaching their original head chef at a high price.

So all the customers here followed the taste and went there. The current head chef at Manager Zhang's place used to be the sous chef.

According to Manager Zhang, both chefs have worked at their restaurant for over ten years. However, people's hearts are unpredictable. After the head chef went to the other side, both new and old customers followed.

Fortunately, the recipes provided by Yin Baicai and the points-based membership program brought their restaurant business back to life.

Chef Chen, who remains today, has become the head chef of their restaurant.

He Miao felt dissatisfied when she saw that there were already quite a few people across the street before it was even lunchtime.

Seeing that no customers were coming in, he returned to the shop and said to Manager Wang, "Manager, you said that we've invited the master chef from the other side to come over. I don't know how their chefs have suddenly started making so many good dishes."

"I heard that the signature dish across the street is very popular now, and many of our customers are going there instead."

Manager Wang looked worried. When he went to the Jin residence yesterday to pay his bill, he was scolded by Master Jin because the amount he was paid this month was much less than usual.

He was also burning with anger. He couldn't understand why he had poached the chef from the other side of the table with a high price, and even made their signature dish his own.

I thought the restaurant across the street wouldn't last past this month and would go out of business, but who would have thought that business across the street is getting better and better, and it's even approaching my size.

I heard that the other side has also come up with a "points membership" system, which says that you can use the points earned from meals to offset the cost of food.

At first, I thought that Manager Zhang across the street had gone crazy, but I saw Manager Zhang with a radiant face every day. If he didn't make any money, would he be so happy and proud?

Suddenly, a dark idea flashed through Manager Wang's mind.

He whispered a few words in He Miao's ear, who was furious.

He Miao walked out happily after hearing this, and Yin Baicai saw the whole scene.

He thought that his opponent was probably going to come up with some bad idea again.
