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

During the Youshi period, Lu Ji came to visit several scholars from the county school. There was nothing that needed to be cooked in the evening meal, and there was no problem cooking noodles on the Spring Equinox, so I simply left the stall to the two of them and went to receive the few scholars myself.

"Shopkeeper, we are all Lu Sheng's classmates. We came here after seeing the meals he brought these past two days." Chu Tiankuo greeted him and said, "I wonder if your store is willing to deliver meals to the county school every day?" ?”

"Of course it's no problem. It won't be a waste if I send it to you when I send it to our Lu Sheng." Lu Yan said: "What do you want to eat? Morning, lunch or evening meal? How do you order? ?”

"Actually, I want to do both." Chu Tiankuo said, "As for the dishes, I think you can just give them the same ones as Lu Sheng."

Lu Yan shook her head: "No, that's not good. I think it's better to let everyone choose."

The people following Chu Tiankuo nodded in agreement, and Chu Tiankuo also scratched his head: "It would definitely be better to order food, but I haven't thought of a solution yet. Shopkeeper, do you have any good ideas?"

Lu Yan thought for a moment: "Let's do this. If you want to eat Lu Ji's morning food, you can buy it before going to the county school in the morning, and then decide what to eat for lunch, and we will deliver it at noon. If you don't want to eat morning food, you just want lunch. , tell the classmates who are having lunch the day before, and ask them to order it together when they come. Every day lunch will be sent to the county school. Everyone, please take the lunch boxes and wait until after school or during the morning meal the next day. Do you think it’s okay to come back to Luji?”

"That's a good idea!"

"Good idea, let's do it!"

"Shopkeeper, how much does your morning lunch cost?" one of the scholars asked.

"We have different prices for different things. For example, the lotus leaf cake that Lu Sheng brought was four cents with potato shreds alone, five cents with stewed rice alone, and six cents with meat alone. If you want The one like Lu Sheng with shredded potatoes, meat and a fried egg costs ten cents. The egg-filled pancake he ate with only eggs costs six cents, and the one with shredded potatoes or chicken fillet alone costs seven cents. Money, the one with potato shreds and chicken tenders is eight cents. We have many kinds of food this morning, you can come and take a look tomorrow morning." Lu Yan said.

"For lunch, we probably won't have fried rice like the one Lu Sheng brought today. There's too little rice. Pure meat dishes cost six cents, vegetarian dishes cost three cents, half meat dishes cost five cents, and noodles like oily noodles, shaved noodles, and soybean noodles are all available. Five cents for white steamed buns and one cent for white noodles, but don’t you have free steamed buns in your canteen? You can say what you want to eat, and if you don’t know what you want to eat, you can just copy what Lu Sheng has prepared. This is the evening meal for us. Meat skewers cost three cents per skewer and two skewers cost five cents each. Vegetable skewers cost two cents per skewer and cost three cents each. I won’t make anything else, but you can try it.”

The scholars silently made a draft in their minds, and found that even if they had to add everything to the morning meal and lunch, and have one meat, one vegetarian and one staple food for lunch, it would only cost twenty coins. If the food is simple, ten cents a day may be enough. Even if a few poor people get together and order a vegetarian dish for three cents each, they can eat several kinds of dishes. They all said that the price was acceptable.

Several scholars happily returned to the county to study, waiting to come back tomorrow morning. There are still a few scholars left behind, and they plan to eat here directly and try Lu Ji's evening food.

Chu Tiankuo did not hesitate to order a family photo, and commented while eating: "Of these skewers, chicken and fish are the most difficult to cook. Chicken is easy to cook, and fish has a fishy smell. If you cook it in one pot like this, it will be very difficult if you don't cook it well. Unpalatable, it’s rare that the fish meatballs and fish tofu are not only not fishy at all, but also sweet and delicious. The chicken meatballs and chicken slices are not only not spicy at all, but also extremely tender. Not only are the dishes good, but the sauce is also wonderful. The sesame sauce is rich and mellow, and it is really delicious. , the shopkeeper is so talented!”

Lu Yan likes to be praised by knowledgeable people, so she prepared a Qianlong cabbage and gave it to Chu Tiankuo. Chu Tiankuo was instantly attracted by the sweet and sour seasoning.

Chu Tiankuo was very emotional after eating this meal. Chu Tiankuo's family was involved in government and business affairs. He had been pampered since he was a child and had never treated himself badly. But even he had to say that Lu Ji's food was very fresh, and there were many Something he had never heard of before.

"Shopkeeper, with your skills, if you work as a chef in a restaurant in the capital, you can earn at least twenty taels of silver for a month." Chu Tiankuo sighed.

"I will go." Lu Yan said calmly: "But even if I go to the capital, I won't work as a chef in a restaurant. I want to open a shop in the capital."

Chu Tiankuo gave a thumbs up: "Have ambition!"

After closing the shop in the evening, Lu Yan went to the dental store and asked someone to help deliver meals at noon every day. It was only a short distance from the county school and the delivery took less than half an hour. She paid ten cents. The conditions were so good that a group of people rushed to grab it. However, Lu Yan asked to be able to recognize a few simple words and quickly screened out a large number of people. The last young man who looked a little weak defeated a large number of strong men and won the final victory.

The next morning, Lu Sheng took Lu Yan's morning meal to the county school canteen as usual. There were still not many people there when Lu Sheng arrived. Before he could open the oil paper bag, he heard Xue Zhuoyuan and Zhou Liang calling him.

He was stunned for a moment, then turned around to see two people walking in with oil paper bags similar to his. The three of them opened the paper package together and found three identical multigrain pancakes.

"Good guys!" Lu Sheng couldn't help but sigh: "How did you do it?"

Xue Zhuoyuan chuckled: "We directly told the shopkeeper that we want the same one as Lu Sheng."

The multigrain pancakes certainly lived up to everyone's expectations. The dough was chewy and chewy, the crispy skin inside was extremely crispy, and there were juicy tenderloin slices in the middle.

"Sure enough, you are right to follow Lu Xiandi." Zhou Liang became familiar with Lu Sheng and stopped calling him Xueyou and started calling him Xiandi.

At the county school at noon, the scholars were already busy before they finished school. Chen Ergou, who was recruited yesterday, drove a donkey cart and drove a dozen meals to the gate of the county school. There were already several people dressed as boys waiting at the gate of the county school. Some of them were bringing them for themselves, and some of them were taking them with other families. Chen Ergou couldn't get into the county school, so he took out the slip at the door and shouted, handed it out and collected the money.

By the time Lu Sheng got today's meal and sat in the canteen, many people in the canteen had already started eating.

Some from relatively wealthy families order two or three dishes by themselves, while others from relatively poor families order different dishes and sit together to eat them. The steamed buns in the canteen are free, and everyone can eat several kinds of dishes for only three cents each. .

Lu Sheng opened his food box. Lu Yan was too busy to do anything complicated today, so she brought him noodles. Taking out the noodles and stirring them, the oily and spicy aroma instantly came out. Zhou Liang and Xue Zhuoyuan couldn't help but feel greedy even while eating their own rice.

"What's in other people's bowls is always the most delicious." Lu Sheng said with a smile.

"Let the shopkeeper prepare the same thing as Lu Sheng from now on!" Many people in the cafeteria expressed the same emotion.
