Yun Yuan deliberately wanted to compete with me, as if she would be happy if I was unhappy.

She often followed me, made sarcastic remarks to me, and even climbed a ladder to spy on my house, coveting my braised pork recipe.

I was very careful and ground the powder into fine powder. Not only Yun Yuan couldn't tell what recipe I used, but even other restaurants couldn't tell.

There are not many kinds of spices commonly used nowadays. Most of the spices I use are bought from pharmacies. I was very careful when buying them. I went to several pharmacies to buy them all. I also added other medicines to confuse them, so they couldn’t crack it in a short time.

I was making money every day and my living standard was getting better and better. I renovated my house and bought a shop. At that time, the son of the shop owner owed a lot of money, and the gambling house said that if he didn't pay back the money, he would chop off his son's hands, which was a good deal for me.

I feel like even the heavens are helping me. When I work hard enough, the whole world gives in to me.

The shop is next to the academy. It’s quite small and not suitable for living. I go out early and come back late every day.

At noon, Ji Shen would bring people to the restaurant to eat. I allocated a private room for him so that he could eat at any time.

The braised meat I sell is unique in Qingcheng. Many people are jealous of me. I was afraid of being coerced, so I thought of Er Gouzi. Although he is an uneducated gangster, he is physically strong and knows martial arts. In addition to protecting me, he can also do odd jobs in the store, picking up dishes and chopsticks.

I pay him well and he listens to me most of the time.

Summer is here, and I accidentally discovered a kind of early-ripening grape on the mountain. It has good appearance and strong fruity aroma. There is a whole area of ​​it, and an idea came to my mind.

I decided to spend half a month picking wild grapes and making them into wine.

Yun Yuan started to make trouble again. Relying on Ji Zhang's money, she blatantly snatched grapes from me, one cent per pound. Many people went up the mountain to pick grapes for her, so the number of grapes I could pick became less.

I was angry at her for wasting such precious resources. The grapes that were useless in her hands were invaluable wine to me. She harvested them for two days, and Ji Zhang died.

I thought to myself that she deserved it. Without Ji Zhang, I wonder how she can still show off. I’m afraid she’ll be out of money in a few days.

Sure enough, she was quiet for two days.

On the third day, with the intention of watching the fun, Ji Shen and I went to see her, under the pretext of bringing incense money, but in fact I didn't bring any money, as I thought she would not accept it given her pride.

She is still so arrogant. She seemed not sad at all about Ji Shen's death. She even said in public that I was the one who killed her mother, and that I was also responsible for her father's death.

I denied it and she made me swear.

To be honest, I am quite taboo about this. Having experienced reincarnation, maybe there really are gods and ghosts in this world?

Yun Yuan kept biting me, everyone was looking at me, and I could only swear.

Unexpectedly, a bolt of lightning struck from the sky. Although it didn't hurt me, I was really scared.

What kind of feeling is that? My heart and soul were shaken, and for a moment I really felt like I saw my relatives from my previous life.

I don't know how I went back. Since this incident, everyone looked at me strangely, but they still had to please me because Ji Shen was the only scholar in the village and they would have to rely on him in the future.

Ji Huai came back and heard from Ji Shen that he was doing business outside. I didn't take him seriously. Which good man who is successful in business would still wear a coarse cloth shorts?

Yun Yuan never gave up on purchasing grapes from the village. I waited for a few days and finally couldn't wait any longer and bought grapes from the villagers.

Although I don't make braised meat to sell, I still have to cook and send it to Ji Shen. As a result, I don't have enough time. I often work until late at night and get up early the next day.

Even though I tried so hard, I still couldn't handle all the grapes I harvested a few days ago. After throwing away half of the wild grapes, I had to limit my purchases. I knew these actions would offend some people, but I had no choice.

Yun Yuan climbed over the wall and tried to steal my wine-making technology, but I lied to her and said that I was making grape jam and asked her to put a lot of sugar in it.

Sugar is a rare commodity here. It would be best if she lost all her savings. Then we can see how she will go against me in the future.

After picking the wild grapes, I continued to go to Qingcheng to sell braised meat.

After the accumulation of some time, many college students are my loyal customers. Every time at mealtime, my shop is crowded with people, and I feel a sense of accomplishment.

But the good times didn't last long, Yun Yuan actually came to my shop to cause trouble.

What's wrong with being looked at by men? If she doesn't want others to see her, then she shouldn't go out. She looks seductive and seductive, and at first glance, she looks like a foxy woman. And Ji Shen, who is following her, looks at her with eyes that are definitely not innocent.

I was disdainful. She was indeed a dodder. She couldn't live without a man. Such women were looked down upon in modern times. But I was different. I was the heroine.

Yun Yuan said that my braised meat was not good, so I took the opportunity to make a bet with her and let her marry Ergouzi.

I wouldn’t have been so anxious before, but I found that Mu Xingzhi seemed to have taken a fancy to Yun Yuan.

There are many people who are chasing Yun Yuan's beauty. I have no doubt that even if she is getting married for the second time, Yun Yuan can still marry well.

I won't allow Yun Yuan to use her beauty to stir up trouble.

It was not until now that I understood that beauty is a powerful weapon. Even if a woman can do nothing, there are still many people willing to support her.

This is a world where appearance matters.

Yun Yuan and I agreed to compete at Huai Shang Restaurant, but I lost.

Not only did I lose the shop, I also lost two hundred taels of silver, and returned to the time before liberation overnight.

And Ergouzi, he disappeared, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth, and this person can never be found again.

After the competition, everything went wrong for me and I also had disagreements with Ji Shen.

He has not experienced the kind of hardship that I have, and is a little out of touch with the world. He is arrogant and conceited, and looks down on everyone. His mind is full of romantic thoughts, and there is no trace of the mundane world of life.

He wanted to give wine to his classmates, and he also despised me for being embarrassing when I was confronting Yun Yuan. In order to draw a line between us, he even said he wanted to divorce me.

I have never suffered such injustice in my past life or this life, and I wanted to divorce him immediately.

When I said this, I felt sad, angry and confused. Ji Shen was not like this before. Is it true that men will change after getting married?

I don't think I have done anything wrong to Ji Shen. I am the one who takes care of all the household chores, growing vegetables, making money, doing housework, and everything else. Ji Shen does nothing and just concentrates on his studies.

In the past, I hoped that he could pass the exam and bring me glory and protection, but now I have realized that Ji Shen despises me for bringing shame to him before he becomes successful. If he really succeeds in the exam, I am afraid the first thing he will do is to divorce me.

Men have always been unfaithful since ancient times. No wonder Yun Yuan thinks my hard work is a joke. Now I feel like a joke myself.

After arguing with Ji Shen, I returned to Yan's house. Although I didn't want to go back, I had no shop and no money now, so I had to go back to Yan's house.

After my parents understood what happened, they advised me to go back to Ji Shen's house, but I didn't want to. Would I go back and continue to work like a slave for him? I wanted to see what kind of person Ji Shen could become without my help.

My younger brother was afraid that I would go back and snatch the family property from him, so he tried to drive me away in both words and deeds.

I was so fed up with it. If it weren't for my bean sprout growing technology and tofu making skills, how could they be living the good life they are living now?

But my parents are not satisfied.

They came to talk to me: "Although making tofu is good, but you have to get up in the middle of the night every day to work, grinding and carrying loads, it's really tiring. Is there any other easier way to make money?"

After Yan's tofu became famous, restaurants in the city would personally send people to buy it. They didn't have to carry their loads on their shoulders and go from street to street. They just wanted the braised meat and wine recipes I had.

I pretended not to understand: "If you think grinding the mill is hard, just buy a donkey."

"You kid, what's wrong with having more jobs at home? I'm the only boy in the family, and you'll have to rely on him in the future..."

"I never thought of relying on him." I stood up and said, "You are right. A woman follows her husband wherever he goes. I will go back to find Ji Shen now."

"That's not what Mom and Dad meant..."

I left anyway, sold the wine at a low price, and rented a shop in a busy city to settle down.

I was planning to replicate the spicy hot pot from my previous life, but I only sold it for a few days before another spicy hot pot shop opened across the street. Their soup base was more delicious than mine, and their free sauce was also better, so they snatched all the customers away.

I argued with them, and they said that doing business is all about ability, and no one says that only we can make malatang. If I don't agree, we can compete on taste.

Other malatang restaurants have opened up around here one after another, offering all kinds of flavors. It can be said that a hundred flowers are blooming, all competing with me for spring.

The traffic of my Malatang restaurant was decreasing, so I later opened a barbecue restaurant.

In this place where spices are more expensive than meat, few ordinary people come to my store to consume. Without a refrigerator, the ingredients that I can’t use up soon go bad, so I eventually closed my store.

Just when I was feeling frustrated, I discovered that Huai Shang Restaurant had started making spicy hot pot, barbecue, and milk tea and juice, and it was packed with customers every day. I went to question Yun Yuan, and it turned out to be her doing.

Why does she keep stealing my ideas? I swear Yun Yuan will pay the price.

I thought of the Yun clan members. In this society, I can't control Yun Yuan, but her clan members can, right?

I found Yun Jin and promised them thirty taels of silver to let them marry Yun Yuan to my brother.

I said to my brother and my parents, "Aren't you attracted by my recipe for stewed meat and wine? Yun Yuan's recipe is better and more popular, not to mention she has an extraordinary appearance, so I asked my brother if he would agree."

I have seen Yun Yuan before and know something about her appearance, but Yun Yuan is even more beautiful now, and I am sure he will agree.

Sure enough, my younger brother agreed to accompany me to perform a play.

We forged a marriage certificate and called on others to help us, and we were determined to take Yun Yuan away.

But I still made a mistake. She actually got the marriage certificate with Mu Xingzhi first. I felt like a clown, and all the people who came with me were sent to jail.

In the cell they all blamed me, and my parents also resented me for coming up with a bad idea that caused my younger brother to break his leg. They had gloomy faces all day long and didn't help me when others took out their anger on me.

Gathering a crowd to cause trouble was not a serious matter, and I thought I would be released soon, but I was in agony every day.

Eating stale food, being beaten with a stick, and having fingers pricked are common occurrences. I don't understand. It's not like we're killing or setting fire to anything, so why do we have to endure all this?

Finally one day the jailer let the cat out of the bag, and I learned that Mu Xingzhi was an important figure and even the county magistrate did not dare to offend him.

It's ridiculous that I always thought he was just an ordinary young man from a scholarly family. If I had known, I wouldn't have planned to plot against Yun Yuan...

No, there is a life between Yun Yuan and me. Even if I don't provoke her, she won't let me go. If I had known Mu Xingzhi's identity earlier, and that he had anorexia, I might not have been able to marry him with my novel skills.

I shouldn't have gotten married so early. Now that everything has settled, I think it would be a luxury to hope for more.

Speaking of Mu Xingzhi's anorexia, with the wave of delicious food launched by Huai Shang Restaurant, his anorexia has improved a lot. The last time I saw him, he was no longer so thin and looked a little more gentle.

But none of this has anything to do with me.

Ji Shen and I haven't divorced yet. When I was in prison, he never came to see me for a single day. It's one thing that I don't want him, but it's another thing that he doesn't come. I feel very depressed.

After spending a month in the cell that was worse than death, I finally saw the light of day again. This time I learned my lesson and dared not have any thoughts about Yun Yuan anymore. I was also wary of Yun Yuan trying to trip me up.

Everyone in the city knows that Yun Yuan and I don't get along, and they secretly say that I am not as good as Yun Yuan in every way. I am eager to make achievements and avenge myself.

I launched soaps, and Huai Shang Restaurant has more exquisite soaps.

I made the hotpot base from my previous life, but within two days, Huai Shang Restaurant also had hotpot, and also served the shuangyan hotpot that was very popular in my previous life. It takes several days to make that kind of hotpot. I suspected they were spying on me.

But I can't do anything.

Other hotpot restaurants have opened on the street one after another, each with its own characteristics, but they seem to understand the local tastes better and the hotpot they make is more popular.

As soon as winter is over, my hot pot restaurant closed down.

During this period, Ji Shen came to me and said that I was poor and that it would be better to keep the money for his imperial examination instead of opening a shop.

I drove him out. Men are the last thing you can rely on.

I wanted to replicate glass cement, but it was just an idea. I didn't have the conditions. Finally, I thought of gunpowder, but as soon as my explosives exploded, I was controlled by someone. They said I was an alien and wanted to take me to the capital.

No matter how I explain it, it's no use.

Ji Shen came after hearing the news. I expected him to talk to me, but all I got was a letter of divorce.

On the eve of my departure, my parents came to me and asked me to hand over all the prescriptions I knew.

Braised meat, wine, spicy hot pot, barbecue, hot pot, soap...

They said they didn't mind that my recipe was bad, but I mind their greed.

I didn't tell them anything.

They yelled at me and said I was refusing to help my family even when I was dying.

"It's all your fault that my leg was injured. You must tell me the recipe today, otherwise I won't collect your body even if you die!"

I was alone and never thought about who would collect my body.

I sneered: "You are dreaming."

They finally left. I didn't suffer much on the way to the capital. The escorts probably thought I was still useful and were quite attentive to me.
