I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Store owners are not apprentices.

Whether he is willing to help others or not depends on his subjective wishes. If he doesn't like a person and is unwilling to teach that person, then that person can't learn anything.

Someone secretly set their eyes on the fat man in Mingyue Tower.

He has been here for more than a year, but he still hasn't learned anything. The store doesn't like this person.

"So, I hope that everyone can think about it carefully. Putting aside other factors, if you really want to recommend someone, who would you choose?" The person continued, "And, I also hope that everyone can think about it. Even if we don't become buddies, it doesn't mean we can't ask the shopkeeper for advice, right?"

"It's just not as convenient and legitimate as being a buddy."

Saying that, he paused.

"Even if we can't ask for advice, don't we still have Zichuan and another friend who can become a buddy?"

"If there is any problem, just bring it up internally. If we really can't solve it, then entrust the two of them to consult the store."

"There's no need for us to fight ourselves."

What he said attracted many people to echo him.

Li Yuan didn't even hold back, and turned his head to look at the person who spoke. This kind of ability to speak at a critical moment is really rare.

"It makes sense."

"I agree with that view."

The voices of approval gradually increased, and some people felt unwilling. They wanted to use copper coins, books and other things to buy people to vote for themselves and win the qualifications of buddies.

But... With these words uttered, their thoughts can only be stillborn.

"Then let's nominate someone now." That person stood up and asked Li Lizhi for a pen and paper, "Speak one by one, and I'll record it for you."

Taking advantage of Yin Xuan's cooking time.

Readers began to vote.

The person recorded was called Li Yifu. Although he proposed a solution, he only got three votes, so he was destined not to be a restaurant employee.

Wu Youdao also only got two votes.

The person finally selected was a man named Han Yuan, 28 years old this year, the eldest brother among them. He was a little less educated and failed the ranking this year, but his character was recognized by everyone.

It won 36 votes, accounting for more than half.

Just one thing is enough to make people admire, he is not from a poor family, he is from the same family as Duan Guan, he is the son of Duke Ying, his father is Zhou Xiaosan's immediate boss, the current Minister of Punishment, Duke Ying.

And there are some subtle differences between him and Duan Guan.

Duan Guan is the second son, and he is the eldest son, which means that he can inherit his father's title and rely on his father to enter the court as an official.

But...he was unwilling to take this path, and wanted to rely on his own ability to become an official through the imperial examination, but it was not so easy to enter the imperial examination. He failed the imperial examination twice.

If the next year's Chunwei fails the ranking again, he will have to go back and inherit his father's title.

Wait until someone is chosen.

Li Yifu squinted his eyes, and proposed again: "Since we have become acquainted with each other because of this, how about setting up a society?"

"We will all be classmates in the future, so we can take care of each other."

Li Yuan's chopsticks were holding the meat, but he turned his head involuntarily. The chopsticks were sent to his cheeks, and the maid beside him helped him wipe off the stains on his face.

But Li Yuan didn't pay much attention to this. He looked at Li Yifu, a man in his early twenties with a somewhat feline look, with some surprise in his eyes.

This person really has some skills and means to come up with such an idea.

No matter how beautifully written the imperial examination articles are, being an official still depends on one's ability.

Just like that Ma Zhou—he also failed in the imperial examinations many times, but after entering the court, he also flourished in chaos.

This person is also a good material for entering the court and becoming an official.

Li Yifu's words attracted the support of many people, and the proposal of forming a society made them feel a little excited.

"I have no opinion."

"I also think it's a good thing."

Someone asked: "Since everyone has no objections, what should we call our society?"

Some people looked at Ji Wen, while others looked at Li Yifu.

Li Yifu also looked at Ji Wen, and made a suggestion: "Why don't we call it the Tongfu Academy? In the future, I hope we can share the same blessings and difficulties."

"And we are all influenced by the store's culture. Although the store doesn't recognize it, we still have to treat the store as a student."

The eyes of the readers lit up.

These words reached their hearts.

Many people looked at Ji Wen eagerly. The number one in the four rankings and the first person who was influenced by Yin Xuan to be the top of the high school list became what they subconsciously thought was the leader.

Li Yifu didn't fight or grab, he was like a mirror in his heart.

Ji Wen was very calm. He wasn't sure, but he didn't refuse either: "Tongfu is the store's signature, and this matter naturally depends on the store's opinion."

"If the store has no objections, the academy can use the name of Tongfu."

The scholars nodded, hoping that Yin Xuan would finish his work.

When Yin Xuan came out of the kitchen, Li Yifu greeted him without hesitation: "Shopkeeper, we have already selected a candidate, and we have recommended Han Boyu as the store's clerk."

Yin Xuan raised his eyebrows, took the paper from Li Yifu, and looked at the count of votes on it, a little surprised: "It's so fast?"

He deliberately stayed for half a month, and wanted to take a good look at how the group of scholars were fighting and arguing, but he didn't expect that it would be over with the effort of cooking?

Still use the fair method of elections.

Li Yifu smiled shyly, but did not speak.

A scholar next to him rushed to speak and took credit for him: "It's all Brother Yifu's idea. Without him, we might have had a long quarrel and spoiled the shopkeeper's mind."

Yin Xuan sighed in his heart, what he wanted to see was their quarrel.

If you don't quarrel, you will go against your own mind.

No more fun.

When Yin Xuan cast his eyes on Li Yifu, the man grinned like a cat and cupped his hands: "Student Li Yifu is just a little clever."

Li Yifu.

Hearing this name, Yin Xuan raised his eyebrows.

Speaking of which...he had really heard of this name, from his ex-girlfriend.He and that ex-girlfriend raised a big tangerine. It was a cat that could laugh. It smiled cunningly. The ex-girlfriend pointed at the cat and said, "Look at this cat, it smiles like Li Yifu!"

Yin Xuan just remembered the name.

Looking at it now... This person's smile really looks like a cat, but his face is a little too thin, and his smile is even more treacherous than that of his ex-girlfriend's cat.

"Student has another unfeeling request." Li Yifu struck while the iron was hot, and then spoke.

Yin Xuan nodded: "Speak."

Li Yifu took a deep breath, and continued: "The students have established a society, with Brother Ji as the president, and want to use the name of Tongfu."
