He was betrayed at the beginning, from a cake seller to a wealthy person

Lu Yan's operation really shocked Liu Hongtu.

When Liu Qingyan went home and told Liu Hongtu about Lu Yan's plan, Liu Hongtu looked complicated.

"Did you hear what I said?" Liu Qingyan waved her hand in front of Liu Hongtu.

Liu Hongtu hummed and asked, "Is this what your shopkeeper Lu thought of himself?"

Liu Qingyan rolled her eyes: "Isn't this nonsense? Otherwise?"

Liu Hongtu had just discussed Shopkeeper Lu with Liu Qingyan two days ago, and they broke up on bad terms. As a result, today I met Shopkeeper Lu again, which completely confirmed what Liu Qingyan said before - none of the men he liked could do better than Shopkeeper Lu.

To be fair, there are countless merchants who want to curry favor with him and give him gifts every year, but after hearing about his reputation, they dare not do it openly. They only dare to sneak around to see if the rumors they have released are true or just a cover, for fear that You flatter yourself and hit the horse's hooves. I also confirmed that every person who came to the door was asked to go back by the steward with kind words.

This is the first time I have received such a request - Lu Yan wants to come with a big fanfare, and the housekeeper wants to kick her out on the street without mercy.

Liu Hongtu knew what Lu Yan had planned as soon as he heard it, and the facts confirmed his suspicion. The news spread that shopkeeper Lu Ji came to deliver gifts but failed to deliver them.

Some enthusiastic people gave Lu Yan advice: "You can't do it openly and openly. Even if you want it, you have to do it to save face. You have to do it quietly behind my back!"

Lu Yan lowered her voice: "To tell you the truth, I gave them away both openly and secretly. How could I not know this? I know Mr. Liu's daughter and we had already gone there privately, but I couldn't send it in! It's because of the secret Since I couldn't get it in, I decided to try my luck on the bright side. Your Majesty wouldn't be so disrespectful to me, and you all know the result."

The enthusiastic person was at a loss for words, so he had to follow Lu Yan's advice and say a few words to the county magistrate. The capable people below are willing to show filial piety. Parents and officials accept them just because they love the people like their own children. After that day, Liu Hongtu's reputation for integrity became even more prominent.

Liu Hongtu had the same view on this matter as Lu Yan. He shook his head helplessly and smiled: "You, Shopkeeper Lu, are indeed not simple. I have been cautious for so many years, but she is the first person to give me a gift."

Liu Qingyan was confused: "Where is it? Didn't she get kicked away?"

Liu Hongtu: "What she gave was not those vulgar things."

As the Chinese New Year approaches, Lu Yan’s watermelons and melons are selling well. Lu Yan took the money she received and went to check for leaks and fill in the gaps at home.

I made another batch of sausages, sauerkraut, sesame paste, bean paste, and fermented bean curd to make up for the shortcomings. I also made a few more jars of chopped chili sauce.

Crush the chili millet and pepper, grind the ginger into puree, mince the garlic, put them together, add salt and sugar and mix well, then pour in the white wine and mix well again, put it in a jar and seal it, and find a room without a kang. Leave it alone and it will be ready to eat within seven days.

Lu Yan made chopped pepper sauce not only because she had a few chopped pepper dishes she wanted to eat and planned to make in the next year, but also because she wanted to save trouble. Before Lu Yan came here, the Lu family's usual cooking method was either steaming or boiling, but steaming and boiling does not necessarily mean it is not delicious. If you are too lazy to cook, just cut the vegetables you want to eat and put them in a bowl, and add a few spoonfuls of chopped peppers. The sauce is put in a pot and steamed, and it comes out delicious.

This is a quick fooling dish that Lu Yan makes when she's not at home. Lu Yan often fools around like this at home.

Lu Yan is busy looking for a cook recently.

The hot spring resort needs a cook. For a Zhuangzi, if its signature is hot springs, its specialty is board games, and its theme is leisure and entertainment, then its requirements for dishes can be appropriately lowered. It’s not that the quality is lowered, it’s just that the chef can cook the dishes on the menu like an ordinary restaurant chef. Lu Yan thought so.

Lu Yan was already used to the process of going to the dental shop first when buying people. She completely used the dental shop as an intermediary, but when she went to the dental shop, the dental shop felt that Lu Yan was deliberately making things difficult for him.

The tooth man frowned: "Shopkeeper Lu, I'm not telling you that it's really a bit embarrassing for you to ask a cook to come to the tooth shop to buy it."

Lu Yan didn't understand: "Aren't you also responsible for making connections? Don't any cooks who can't find work come to register with you?"

Yaren smacked Yahuazi: "Don't tell me, it really doesn't happen. Do you know that some of the larger restaurants now have their own chefs, and many of them are hired from others."

"Pry it here?" Lu Yan was surprised: "How did you pry it?"

Yaren: "How can I pry this? I went to a restaurant to eat and thought it was good, so I tried to contact the cook and gave him more money, so I pried him away. But the cook usually signed a contract with the boss. Contract, if you resign in advance, you may have to pay money, so you have to pry his employer into giving it."

Lu Yan was thoughtful. The risk is a bit high if you pry, and it will be too late to raise it yourself. I can indeed raise a few, and I can put them in when I open another store later, but I urgently need one to put in the village now, and it is too late to cultivate them now.

Lu Yan left Yahang and planned to visit various restaurants and food shops first. The first house that appeared in her mind was Xiangyun Tower.

I really don’t blame Lu Yan for not having any new ideas, mainly because Liu Rui’s appearance has been too frequent recently. Then let’s go to Xiangyun Tower first.

Lu Yan had an impression of Xiangyun Building. It was a large restaurant with three floors, with a lobby on the first floor, partitions on the second floor, and private rooms on the third floor. Naturally, the place to find information is on the first floor.

As Lu Yan walked over, there were even diners greeting her.

"Hey, why is Shopkeeper Lu here?"

"Shopkeeper Lu also comes out to eat?"

Lu Yan smiled awkwardly and said hello all the way, secretly thinking that she was not good because so many people knew her, and she might not be able to eat anything this time.

Sure enough, as soon as Lu Yan sat down on the first floor, the two waiters winked at each other. One of them greeted me politely and handed me a list.

Lu Yan looked at the ordinary list, ordered a few dishes casually, and asked the waiter to take them away.

While waiting for the food to be served, I heard people around me talking.

"Has Xiangyun Tower changed its chef?"

"You can feel it too? My cooking skills are obviously much worse."

"You don't know yet? It turns out that the master chef of Xiangyunlou is a red table chef, so the dishes are good and the noodles are average. Later, it was said that the owner saw that Lu Ji's noodles were selling well, so he found one that was said to be able to imitate Lu Ji. Master Bai An became the master master and put the original master master to dry."

"No wonder there are so many of Lu Ji's delicacies on his menu!"

"But it's not like the imitation! It's not that I'm bad at speaking, I'm not half as good as the Equinox girl."

Lu Yan didn't take it seriously at first, but suddenly she heard about Lu Ji, and she couldn't ignore it.

Lu Yan couldn't help but ask: "Brothers, what did you just say? Is Lu Ji's food on the menu at Xiangyun Restaurant?"

Everyone at the table turned to talk to Lu Yan.

"Yes, Shopkeeper Lu, look at this lotus leaf bun!"

"And this bacon pancake. We ordered it because Lu Ji tasted it, but what he did was really not that good."

Lu Yan was shocked: "Let's not talk about whether it tastes good or not. These are not on the menu they gave me!"
