The son-in-law of a prosperous family

The fat chef glared at Zhao Yunchuan angrily. He was careless. He didn't expect that this pretty boy could actually cook.

Shopkeeper Xu and Steward Wang tasted the food made by the fat chef again, and their eyes suddenly turned dark, revealing masks of pain.

It’s so sour, it makes my teeth ache!

It is clear who wins and who loses.

The fat cook felt a little guilty and explained, "I accidentally put an extra spoonful of vinegar. Although West Lake Vinegar Fish is not my specialty, I can make other dishes!"

"Dongpo elbow!"

"What a coincidence! I can do that too!"

“Sweet and sour pork!”

"Tsk tsk, a specialty!"

“Mapo tofu!”

"I did a great job!"

The fat chef listed a long list of dishes, none of which Zhao Yunchuan didn't know how to cook.

Shopkeeper Xu made the final decision and said to Zhao Yunchuan: "It's you. Two taels of silver per month, half-day off, lunch included."

Fang Huai was overjoyed. He didn't expect that Zhao Yunchuan really had such ability and actually became the head chef of Lai Yue Lou.

Pay two taels a month.

You know, a strong laborer could only earn thirty copper coins a day at most.

Zhao Yunchuan nodded.

But he does not plan to do this job for a long time. Working can only make ends meet. If he wants to become rich, he has to do business.

Add scientific examinations.

Chen's son was so arrogant after only passing the exam to become a minor scholar. It must be that the status of scholars was extremely high, and he didn't want Huai'er to be humiliated again in the future.

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce.

He had to rely on scholars to gain status and make money from business.

As for farming.

It was not within his consideration. Firstly, he didn't know how to do it, and secondly, the income from farming was not high and it couldn't even provide enough food and clothing.

No one expected that Zhao Yunchuan would unexpectedly win. Fang Huai's fifty coins finally turned into two hundred coins. The waiters laughed uglier than crying and held the cloth bag containing the coins tightly. Fang Huai exerted a little force and got the cloth bag.

"Thank you very much!"

The second shopkeeper: "..."

It's just heartbreaking.

Zhao Yunchuan will start working today. Fang Huai counted out twenty copper coins, thought for a while, and added ten more: "Do you know the way back?"

Zhao Yunchuan took the copper coin and chuckled, "I'm not a child."

"Then I'll go back first."

Zhao Yunchuan pinched his cheek and said, "Okay, I'll bring you something delicious this afternoon."

Fang Huai went home carrying the basket on his back.

Bai Guihua saw Fang Huai coming back alone and stretched her neck to look back: "Where is my son-in-law?"

The son-in-law she had just got wouldn't fly away.

Fang Huai was somewhat helpless: "Mom, he and I... haven't decided yet."

"That's about right. Yunchuan is a good kid. Your father and I will observe for a while and then settle your affairs."

“It’s just a little poor!”

"He has no money and no land, but he is willing to marry into our family, so he is poor even if he is poor."

"By the way, where's Yunchuan?"

Fang Huai put down the backpack and gulped down a large bowl of water: "He is working in town."

Bai Guihua was even more satisfied. This child was really sensible. Although he was a little poor, as long as he was diligent, he would not have to worry about having a bad life.

"What kind of work does he do, carry sandbags or build houses?"

The men in the village don't have many connections and can usually only find some manual labor jobs.

"Neither, he's working as a cook at Laiyue Tower!"

"Laiyuelou?!" Bai Guihua's eyes widened: "Is this the Laiyuelou I was thinking of?"

"There is only one person in town, Lai Yue Lou."

There is no one in the entire Qingniu Town who doesn’t know Lai Yue Lou. Even if you have never been there to spend money, you have definitely heard of it.

A few years ago, the village chief went there for a meal, and his wife told everyone about it and boasted about it for a long time.

"Wow, I didn't expect Yunchuan to be so successful. His monthly salary must be around 800 to 900 coins."

"Two taels of silver!"

"What?"

Bai Guihua was shocked again.

Fang Huai repeated: "Two taels of silver a month."

Bai Guihua felt that Zhao Yunchuan's only shortcomings were gone. He was handsome and made money. Two taels of silver was unique in the village, making him even more powerful than Zhu the Butcher.

"You must quickly settle your marriage, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Fang Huai: “…”

Laiyue Building

The hall was packed with people. Zhao Yunchuan in the kitchen was almost sending out sparks from his spatula. The sun was shining brightly outside, and it was like a steamer inside. Sweat was pouring down, and his clothes were soaked.

It’s true... money is hard to earn and shit is hard to eat!

Everyone knows that the food at Lai Yue Lou is delicious, but it seemed to be especially delicious today. We had planned to go out for a drink, but we finished the food without even sipping a sip.

There was hardly any talking in the huge hall, and the only sounds were the clattering of dishes and the sound of people chewing.

"Waiter, come here!"

The person who was speaking was a wealthy man in the town. His surname was Han and everyone called him Master Han. Master Han's family was rich and he loved to eat and drink. He was very picky about food and often found fault with it. The waiter's scalp went numb when he heard his voice.

Adhering to the concept that customers are God, he asked with a smile: "Grandpa Han, what do you want?"

"Did you change the cook?"

"Chef Wei was injured, so we hired a new one."

"Call him out!"

Mr. Han had a blank expression on his face, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking. Steward Wang walked over.

"Master Han, you are not satisfied with the dishes, how about I ask the previous chef to make you a new one?"

Mr. Han is an old customer of Lai Yue Lou and they cannot afford to offend him.

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? I just want to meet the new cook."

Manager Wang couldn't afford to offend him: he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll ask someone to call him!"

As soon as Zhao Yunchuan arrived at the hall, he felt alive. The windows on all sides were open, and the breeze brought a slight coolness.

Comfortable!

"Master Han, this is our new chef. He prepared all the dishes on your table."

In an instant, Master Han's eyes lit up.

"Do you plan to change your career?"

Manager Wang thought it was not good, and sure enough, he heard Master Han continue, "Go to my house and be a cook. I will give you this amount of monthly salary."

As he said that, he made a three!

To be honest, Zhao Yunchuan was quite tempted because the salary was high and it shouldn't be as tiring as here.

Seeing this scene, people around were talking.

"I was wondering why the food tasted so good today, it turns out there's a new chef!"

“Not only does it taste good, but the presentation is also more exquisite than before!”

Another said, "Why don't you come to my house and I'll give you this amount!"

As he said that, he made a number four!

Master Han refused to give in: "Five!"

Manager Wang's smile was uglier than his crying. He had been a manager for all these years and had never seen anyone being robbed blatantly.

Zhao Yunchuan was moved, very moved.

Just as he was about to speak, Steward Wang tugged at his sleeve and interrupted him, "Happiness is better shared than happiness alone. Thank you very much for liking our food at Yue Lou. If you want to eat it in the future, you are welcome to come to Yue Lou!"

After saying that, he quickly pulled Zhao Yunchuan away.

"and many more……"

Manager Wang turned around and almost lost the smile on his face.

What Mr. Han did was really unkind. If it weren't for the other party's identity, he would have kicked him out.

"Master Han, do you have any other instructions?"

Mr. Han took out a silver ingot and threw it to Zhao Yunchuan, who caught it steadily.

"It's your reward!"

Someone stood up and said, "Mr. Han is really generous. Lu also thinks that today's dishes are good."

The servant understood and immediately took out some change as a reward.
