A man travels through time and becomes a widow, only wanting to pursue a career

Mother Shen asked Chen Changsheng and the others to wait in the backyard and not move around, while she went to the front hall to report with a small bowl.

During a break from boredom, Chen Changsheng chatted with the woman in the kitchen. Through casual chat, he learned that the owner of the house was named Liang, and they were the Liang family, one of the grain store dealers in Baishui County.

In addition to running a grain store, the Liang family also runs several restaurants. Ruyi House, one of the best in the city, is also the property of the Liang family. The Liang family also opened branches of Ruyi House in several neighboring counties.

About a quarter of an hour later, Shen's mother came back from the front hall and invited Chen Changsheng, mother and son, to go to the front hall together.

In the front hall of the Liang family, a middle-aged man and a young man were eating food from bowls, grinning and hissing.

"Shaoqin, eat less. You have to go to your husband's place to study later. Don't be greedy for food. It will make your stomach spicy and delay your studies! Quickly pour a glass of water for dad. It's killing me." The man persuaded his son while picking up vegetables with quick eyes and hands.

"Dad, you are old and can't eat too much spicy food. Don't be greedy. It's better to let your children share the burden for you." The young man did not fall into his father's trick. Not even an inch.

Liang Shiqiu was ashamed, this child actually competed with his father for food!

But I can't blame the child. I can only blame the dish that Mother Shen served. It was so delicious, fragrant, spicy and delicious. It was even more delicious than what was cooked in the small kitchen yesterday, and even better than what the master chef of his own restaurant made. Want to eat.

He, Liang Shiqiu, has traveled all over the country for many years and has eaten countless delicious foods. He feels that this ordinary-looking bowl of food in front of him is actually spicy, refreshing and exciting.

Unexpectedly, there are people with such good craftsmanship in the small Baishui County. If he can buy a chef in his own restaurant, then Ruyilou will be the first restaurant in Baishui County.

Oh no, maybe it is the first restaurant in Baishui County and its surrounding counties.

The two people, one middle and one young, ate enthusiastically, and soon the food in their bowls was all gone.

As soon as Chen Changsheng stepped into the front hall, Liang Shiqiu and Liang Shaoqin put down their chopsticks, and the father and son quickly wiped the vegetable stains from the corners of their mouths.

Mother Shen introduced a few people to each other and then left.

Liang Shiqiu didn't beat around the bush and said quickly, "Mrs. Chen, I heard from Mother Shen that you made this dish, and it tastes really good. I happen to be short of a good cook in my house. I wonder if Mrs. Chen would be willing to come to me." Where to come from?"

First ask this woman to come over. If her craftsmanship is really good, she will stay for a long time. After working in the house for a long time, she will naturally arrange to go to the restaurant.

Liang Shiqiu was confident that Chen Changsheng would agree. After all, working in a wealthy family was much easier than digging for food in the fields.

He waited for the woman in front of him to agree with tears of gratitude.

However, Chen Changsheng was unmoved and just said calmly, "Thank you, Mr. Liang, for recognizing my craftsmanship as a country woman. However, my family has a lot of land and few hands. If I come here to help, there will be no one to take care of the land at home. I'm afraid It’s going to be deserted.”

Liang Shaoqin, a young man on the side, said bluntly, "How much money can you make from one acre of land in a year? If you come to my house as a cook, how much can you make every month? I don't think about it carefully. She is indeed an ignorant village woman."

Before Liang Shiqiu could open his mouth, Chen Changsheng sneered and said, "I, a country woman, have long hair and short knowledge. I really don't know how much money I can earn from an acre of land in a year, nor how much I can earn per month by being a cook in your prince's house." silver.

I, a country woman, have always been used to being rough and free, and I can't stand the rules of the house. If I offend my master's family, I may be sold to someone else one day. "

What Chen Changsheng said makes sense. Being a maid in a wealthy family in this era may look glamorous to the outside world, but in fact, you have no freedom at all. She is just an "object" around the owner. If the owner doesn't like it, she will beat her up whenever she wants and sell her whenever she wants. .

If she is a little bit pretty, she might even be given unspoken rules, such as being a maid with a common room, being taken as a concubine, or being paired with a servant at will. If you are unlucky enough to meet a perverted master, you will be dragged into a beauty bowl, holding feces, peeing, and wiping the buttocks of the master. It is simply unbearable to watch.

Although you can't make a lot of money by digging in the fields, at least you are free and you don't have to look at other people's faces or work for others.

Chen Changsheng said it tactfully, but Liang Shiqiu understood clearly that she didn't even bother to be a member of his family, so it seemed that accepting her as a cook would not work.

"I'm unreasonable. I hope Mrs. Chen won't be the same as me. If it's not convenient for Mrs. Chen to work as a cook in my house, would you be willing to sell the vegetables from this land to me?"

Chen Changsheng nodded in agreement, "It's okay to sell vegetables."

She originally planned to sell ready-made dishes.

When Liang Shiqiu saw that Chen Changsheng had agreed, he tried to ask, "I just heard from Shen's mother that Mrs. Chen lives outside the city and it is inconvenient to deliver food back and forth every day. Why don't Mrs. Chen sell the recipe to me? The price is negotiable."

For those who can't afford her, it's a good idea to buy her. If you have the recipe and let the restaurant's chef learn it, then Ruyilou can still be the first restaurant in Baishui County.

What a shrewd businessman!

Chen Changsheng is not stupid either. How could he agree to sell his only prescription? If he sells it, he will cut off his own financial path.

Even if it was really sold, no one could make it exactly the same, because it was her craft, and there were no chili peppers in this era, so it would never be replicable. It's just that when the restaurant fails to succeed, she will be blamed for cheating, which in turn will cause trouble for herself.

What she fears most now is trouble.

Chen Changsheng pursed his lips and smiled faintly, "Mr. Liang, I can't sell this recipe to you. This is a recipe passed down from our ancestors. Mr. Liang is in big business. I believe you will not ruin anyone's livelihood."

Chen Changsheng said it tactfully but politely, and Liang Shiqiu understood immediately that this woman was not simple.

Liang Shaoqin said impatiently, "Dad, if we offer thirty taels, I don't believe this woman won't sell it."

Thirty taels is almost a farmer's income for ten years. No one would refuse so much money.

Chen Erlu was a little unsteady. He earned ten taels yesterday and thirty taels today. He had earned most of his life's money in two days.

Mom is so awesome!

The family still owes thirty taels of silver to the gambling house, which is just enough to repay the debt. It comes at the right time.

Mom will definitely agree.

But Chen Changsheng's expression suddenly changed, his face remained calm, and he seemed to have no interest in the thirty taels of silver.

This unpredictable and calm expression made Liang Shiqiu couldn't help but take a second look.

There is something unusual about this woman.

Chen Changsheng thought in his heart at this moment, the Liang family is really willing to pay thirty taels of silver for a dish, who will not be swayed?

But her skills are more than thirty taels.

Chen Changsheng's purpose was to do business steadily and only sell products, so he continued, "Thank you Master Liang for the promotion, but my ancestors did have rules. You must not leak the recipe to outsiders, otherwise there will be thunder and lightning. Today I have to thank Master Liang." I have a bold idea because I am a country woman."

"Mrs. Chen, please speak."
