First break up the relationship, then get rich, I can choose any handsome man in the world

"Really? Thank you very much, young lady." The shopkeeper rubbed his hands happily.

"Don't thank me yet. I have a request that you do. It won't be too late for me to teach you."

"Girl, it doesn't matter if you say so."

"I'll teach you this dish, but you can only make it in Huainan City. If you become big and powerful in the future and open a restaurant somewhere else, you must not make this dish."

"Okay, I promise you." His store is almost closed down, so there is nothing he can't agree to.

In the kitchen, the shopkeeper cleared everyone out, leaving only Ye Shian and himself.

"Pot-fried pork needs to be made with pure lean pork, and it should be cut about this thick. It won't work if it's too thin or too thick. Then you need a starch paste..."

Ye Shian explained to the shopkeeper while he was cooking. The shopkeeper was also a chef and could learn most dishes by watching them once.

"Then make a sweet and sour sauce..."

Soon a dish of sweet and sour pork was ready, and the shopkeeper took a bite and praised it highly.

Ye Shian was still very confident about this dish: "How is it?"

The shopkeeper put down his chopsticks and motioned Ye Shian to wait a moment. He then started to make the sweet and sour pork, imitating what Ye Shian had done just now.

After a while, the shopkeeper also made a plate: "Miss Shi'an, please try my plate and see how it tastes."

Ye Shian picked up a piece and put it in his mouth to taste it carefully: "The taste of yours is lighter than mine. This should be more suitable for the taste of the public."

Ye Shian gave a very pertinent evaluation. The diet of ancient people was mostly light. Although the food she cooked was delicious, it was indeed a bit too heavy for the ancient people's taste.

"It was Miss Shi'an who taught me well."

"Hey, what are you doing here sneaking around?"

Suddenly, a scolding voice came from the kitchen door. The two of them quickly put down their chopsticks and ran out. There was only Shen Teng outside the kitchen, and there was no sign of anyone else.

When Shen Teng saw the two people coming out of the kitchen, he immediately ran to Ye Shian with a smile on his face and said, "Shian, did you make something delicious again?"

"No." Ye Shian's mind was full of who would peek at them.

Shen Teng pouted unhappily: "I can smell it..."

Ye Shian looked at the shopkeeper, who had a gloomy face at the moment: "Miss Shian, it's getting late, you should go upstairs and get some rest."

How could Shen Teng let her go? He stepped in front of her and said, "Hey, hey, don't go. I'm hungry now. How about you make me something to eat?"

Ye Shian frowned. This silly son of the landlord was quite a eater.

"I'm not a cook."

"How can you not be a cook? Your cooking is so delicious."

He still didn't give up, and continued: "How about this, you cook the dishes for today again, how about that?"

"Okay, give me fifty taels of silver and I'll do it."

"Ah, you need so many." Shen Teng blurted out.

"If you think it's expensive, then don't eat it."

"Hey, hey, hey, it's not expensive, not expensive, hey, go ahead and do it, and I'll give you fifty taels when you're done."

"Give first and do later." Ye Shian deliberately made things difficult for him. Although fifty taels was a lot, she also had principles.

"Can you make a few more?"

"Ok?"

"Okay then!" Shen Teng felt a little aggrieved, but still took out a silver note from his sleeve.

Looking at the banknotes in his hand, Ye Shian raised his eyebrows. This kid is really rich. Fifty taels for a meal.

You have to know that in the village, she might never see a fifty-tael silver note in her entire life.

Ye Shian was about to speak when the shopkeeper spoke first: "Girl, feel free to use the things in the kitchen."

It's already closed, and there aren't many dishes left in the kitchen.

Ye Shian took a casual glance and saw eggplants, sweet potatoes, pork, and a small handful of leeks.

Rolling up his sleeves again, Ye Shian took a deep breath and said, "It seems I can only use local materials."

Shen Teng paced back and forth anxiously in the lobby. Because Ye Shian said that no one was allowed to enter the kitchen to disturb her, he could only wait in the lobby.

The aroma from the kitchen was so delicious that his stomach was going crazy and he felt like he was going to starve to death.

Finally, the curtain of the kitchen was lifted and Ye Shian walked out.

Shen Teng rushed over with chopsticks in hand: "Hey, can we eat now?"

"Braised eggplant, candied sweet potato, braised pork, scrambled eggs with chives."

Shen Teng looked at Ye Shian expectantly, waiting for her to continue. When he saw that she stopped talking after she named the four dishes, he was a little disappointed: "Just these four dishes?"

"I wanted to make a few more dishes, but unfortunately the kitchen is out of stock. Please be more particular. Oh, by the way, I also made rice. These dishes taste better when eaten with rice."

"Oh!"

It's just rice. It's not like he hasn't eaten it before.

But when Ye Shian brought the rice, the unique aroma of rice immediately attracted him.

He leaned his head to see: "Is this rice?"

"It smells so good." Shen Teng quickly served himself a bowl. Looking at the crystal clear and plump rice, he couldn't help but take a bite first.

“This rice is surprisingly sweet.”

What a joke! This is Wuchang rice!

Fifty taels of silver for four dishes, Huang Shiren would never exploit people like this.

Alas, she was too kind after all. She took rice from the space to cook for him. After all, this was the variety from a thousand years later. Fifty taels was a great value for money.

Shen Teng ate two bowls of rice in one go, but still felt it was not enough.

After being busy for so long, Ye Shian felt a little hungry. She took a bowl and filled it with a small bowl of rice. She hadn't eaten rice for a long time, so she really missed it.

When Ye Shian returned to the room, Yu Xiuying was already sleeping with Ziyuan in her arms.

As Ye Shian tiptoed to the bedside, Yu Xiuying woke up.

Ye Shian scratched his head embarrassedly: "I woke you up anyway."

Yu Xiuying waved her hand: "No, I'm waiting for you."

She originally wanted to go downstairs to find Ye Shian, but Ziyuan was fussing for sleep at that time, so she could only coax Ziyuan to sleep first. Who knew that she would fall asleep too.

"I just cooked a whole table of food for the little fat man, and he gave me fifty taels."

"What? So many!" Yu Xiuying was surprised: "Did you take it?"

Ye Shian nodded.

Yu Xiuying began to feel uneasy: "I remember he had guards with him. You asked him for fifty taels for a meal. Will he regret it?"

"Probably not. That guy looks nice."

Yu Xiuying was worried: "No, we have to leave the city early tomorrow morning. If he changes his mind, he won't be able to find us."

The next day, Yu Xiuying got up just as the sky was getting light. She packed her things while urging Ye Shian.

"Hurry up, we still have to go to the horse market to pick up the cows. We will leave the city as soon as the city gate opens."

Ye Shian yawned loudly: "Well, good!"

There were not many people on the street early in the morning, and even the buns in the bun shop had not been steamed yet.

Ye Shian couldn't help but laugh: "Mom, are we being too cautious?"

Yu Xiuying walked in front and waved to Ye Shian: "Be careful, Shian, this way, we can take a shortcut this way."

Ye Shian followed behind, muttering, "It's no use if we go too early, they might not open yet."

After saying this, Ye Shian bumped into Yu Xiuying's backpack. Just as she was about to ask why they stopped, she saw three men blocking the intersection from the opposite side.

Ye Shian pulled Yu Xiuying back, and when he turned around, he found that the way they came had been blocked.
