After marrying sick Yangzi, I made my whole family rich

"What?"

Lin Cai's face darkened, "It seems that Tianxiang House is determined to annex our Taoyuan Restaurant!"

He didn't know if Xu Mengxiao was good at this, but seeing her calmly eating pastries without paying attention, he somehow felt more confident.

So after a few words of explanation, I returned to my base camp, Suxian, with peace of mind.

Xu Mengxiao patted the crumbs in his hand and said, "Good disciple, the chestnut cakes and red bean cakes you have here are pretty good. Please pack a few packs for me."

Lin Gui was stunned and still couldn't react. Why did he jump from the serious topic above to this, but...

A good disciple?

She is willing to accept herself as her disciple! ?

"Okay, okay, I'll get it for you right now!" Lin Gui responded with joy, and the figure running downstairs was a little unsteady with excitement.

All this fell into the eyes of the two people downstairs. While they were busy with their work, they secretly thought about going out to report the news later.

Lin Gui walked into the kitchen and packed up all the pastries they prepared every day. After thinking about it, he thought it was too little, so he packed up all the cakes.

Apart from anything else, he still has some skills in making pastries. It is only right to show filial piety to his master!

When he handed a heavy basket to Xu Mengxiao, Xu Mengxiao twitched her mouth. There were seven or eight bags in total. Each bag contained ten pieces of cake, which was enough for their whole family. It's been a while.

"It doesn't have to be so much, just half."

"No, no, this is not enough." In ancient times, people were very particular about respecting their masters. Even if it was a mediocre craft, if they wanted to obtain the true inheritance, the disciples had to please the master in every possible way.

Xu Mengxiao is very satisfied with this. It seems that she will have to recruit more well-behaved and sensible apprentices in the future!

"Every time I come here from now on, I will teach you how to cook a few dishes." Lunch happened to be included.

"Corresponding to the dishes being launched at the moment, you must have already mastered the recipes of those soups. It just depends on how to match them. Don't make them too fancy first. Wait until everyone gets used to them and then continue to introduce them. This requires a process and is quite energy-consuming. .”

"As long as Taoyuan Restaurant gets better, I can sleep here every day!"

"Did you notice anything wrong with anyone when you went down just now?"

"what?"

Xu Mengxiao suddenly looked up at the door.

Lin Gui realized something and immediately rushed forward and opened the door.

A waiter carrying a teapot was standing outside the door. Seeing this, he smiled attentively and said: "Second boss, I'm here to bring you some tea!"

"Who asked you to come here on your own?" Lin Gui looked at him, thinking that Dongzi had been at their Taoyuan Restaurant for a long time, and he was one of the oldest waiters. He was smart and diligent, so he should not be confused.

But Dongzi quickly responded repeatedly and wanted to retreat.

"Come here, we are really short of water here." Xu Mengxiao greeted, a pair of clear and dark eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything watched his every movement and expression.

Dongzi's expression remained as usual, and his movements were smooth and crisp.

The cute micro-expressions and some details that he couldn't detect could not deceive others. The waiter was a little flustered, but more of it was disdain and self-satisfaction in playing with people's hearts!

What's more, he happened to appear outside the door so coincidentally.

She clearly heard muffled footsteps just now, but she didn't knock on the door for a while.

When they left, Xu Mengxiao said bluntly, "Let's quit him. The smarter a person is, the more tricks he will have."

"Why?" Lin Gui still refused to believe it.

"If nothing else, he smells like a woman's rouge and gouache. If you don't believe it, you can check in private to see if he has been in any inappropriate places."

How can a mere waiter in a restaurant get the money to go whoring?

Lin Gui now believed most of the letter, gritting his teeth and feeling heartbroken, "I think I treat them well. I earn half a tael more than the waiter at Tianxiang Tower every month!"

"Except for those who are loyal and kind, few of the windfalls can withstand the erosion of sugar-coated bullets. What's more, Tianxianglou has used some tricks to seduce you, and there is one in your kitchen."

"Is it that cook?" Lin Gui had long suspected her. "So the few times you cooked, I deliberately guarded against them. I let them handle other dishes on weekdays. As for the main dishes, I was still the one to cook them. .”

"I'm afraid she has already reported the earthen pot soup, mushrooms and pig waste to Tianxiang Tower."

"What are you afraid of? Even if they know this, they can only stare."

After all, the weather is so hot right now that all kinds of mushrooms are gone. Even if they want to follow suit, they can’t even get the raw materials together.

"What! A little girl has become their new boss?" Shopkeeper Feng of Tianxiang Restaurant was immediately surprised when he heard what the cook of Taoyuan Restaurant said.

"Which family is that little girl the daughter of? Is she very rich?"

"No, no." The cook is a fat woman who looks very honest and simple. Who would have thought that such a person would rebel.

"She is the person who sold mushrooms before. She comes from the countryside below."

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Feng paid more attention, "Do you know where their mushrooms come from?" He searched everywhere but couldn't find it.

"I don't know. I suspect she grew it herself. She is also very good at cooking and can make soup served in earthen pots. It smelled so good that it made my mouth water even from far away. Now she even asked someone to buy it. A lot of pigs went into the water, and the first and second bosses ate them up."

Although she was simple and honest, she was very considerate, and Shopkeeper Feng learned a lot of news.

Originally, he was 100% sure of winning the Taoyuan Restaurant, but now there was an unstable factor. Shopkeeper Feng tapped his fingers on the counter.

The cook looked at him expectantly.

"Counter, give her a tael of silver."

After taking the silver, the woman's eyes immediately showed greed and shrewdness that were inconsistent with her appearance.

With this appearance, she made a lot of money at the Taoyuan Restaurant, eating herself until she was plump, and feeding the whole family until their mouths were full of oil.

She has not been discovered all this time, and her courage has grown fat. She thinks that making some "extra money" is no big deal. Who calls her poor? If she doesn't plan carefully, the whole family will starve to death!

She didn't know that it wasn't that Lin Gui didn't notice her behavior, but that he silently indulged her because of his poor family, and ended up raising two dogs with evil intentions!

Xu Mengxiao didn't care how complicated his mood was, "If you find such an intermediary again, choose someone who can control it well, and use a combination of tactics and counter-intentional tactics to let Tianxiang Tower suffer!"

After saying that, she took the food basket and left. It was getting late and it was time for her to go back.

But when she got to the street, she couldn't help but buy, buy, freshly baked xiaolongbao——

"Come on three cages!"

The ancient ones also have a different flavor, but there are too few fillings.

Sesame seed cakes, miso, and fruits such as loquats, bayberries, and mountain tangerines that are not available locally.

Xu Mengxiao made another jar of Lihuachun at the wine shop. This medium-quality wine has a low alcohol content and is good for cooking and drinking. Just one jar cost her a full ten taels of silver.

In addition, she also bought some household items for her eldest sister. The evening market in the town had just started, and many things were newly launched. She also bought some freshly slaughtered pork and was going to go back to make pork dumplings. .

It’s so southern here that you’ve never heard of it if you don’t eat dumplings.

When Xu Mengxiao finally finished her shopping, she was shocked to find that she only had twenty taels of silver left!
