I, the fox clan, Arita!

Wei Yuanwu was very excited when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "It's not the cook at home, but someone I invited outside, young master, do these snacks suit your taste today?"

"It's quite novel." Wei Xiuya nodded, in a rare good mood, and ordered, "Reward. You don't need to worry about it, go to the cashier to collect the reward."

"Hey, I'm going right away!" Wei Yuanwu was about to go out with a smile all over his face.

Wei Xiuya said again: "Wait, did a little white fox come to the house today?"

Wei Yuanwu was taken aback, "What little fox?"

Seeing that his expression did not seem to be fake, Wei Xiuya should have really never seen the little fox, so he waved his hand and let him go out.

Inexplicably, Wei Xiuya felt a little happier again, hum, you little fox is clever and knows who is the master of the Wei residence.

Wei Yuanwu went out the door of the main room, and when he saw Lingshu waiting in the corridor, he greeted Lingshu with a smile, took out a silver ingot from his sleeve, and handed it over, saying: "Our young master has a reward, these five taels are for you." Treasurer Ling's hard-earned money, the other five taels are rewards."

"This..." Lingshu hesitated for a while, "This is too much, the five taels you gave is enough, I just put in a little effort..."

"Our young master is happy, if you don't take it, you won't give him face." Wei Yuanwu said.

Lingshu didn't refuse anymore, and took the ten taels of silver.

He actually understands that if the rich and powerful give you a reward, it means they think highly of you, and you must take it. If you refuse, it will make the rich and powerful lose face, and they will be very unhappy.

"Thank you young master for me. If nothing happens, I'll go home first." Lingshu saluted.

"Wait a minute, shopkeeper Ling." Wei Yuanwu hurriedly called Ling Shu to stop, what should I do if the young master refuses to eat after the shopkeeper Ling leaves?The young master finally had a good meal without losing his temper, and he seemed to be in a good mood, so naturally he couldn't just let the treasurer Ling go away like this.

Ling Shu was brought into a wing by Wei Yuanwu, and Wei Yuanwu then said: "Master Ling, I want to invite you to work as a cook in Weifu, and take care of our young master's food, how about 30 taels a month? "

Lingshu had some guesses in his heart just now, the housekeeper might let him stay at his house to cook for Wei Xiuya.

The salary offered is also very high, 30 taels of silver is [-] taels of silver. You must know that the monthly salary of many maids and servants from rich families is only a few taels of silver.

The salary is high, but it's a pity that Lingshu doesn't want to imprison himself in this noble compound.

So Lingshu shook his head and said politely: "Housekeeper Wei, the young master in your house had a good meal this time, but I took a chance and made some food that the young master has never seen before. If you eat the same thing every day, it will be delicacies from mountains and seas." I will also get tired of eating, what you said, I can't promise."

Wei Yuanwu was anxious, and was about to speak, when Ling Shu interrupted him: "Thank you for looking up to me, I do have some different ideas from ordinary people when it comes to eating here, but I can't promise myself You can always innovate, and always have novel food for Master Wei to eat, don't you have this worry in your heart? Master Wei will get tired of it one day."

"To be disrespectful, your young master is suffering from a serious illness, and what you are doing is treating the symptoms rather than the root cause," Lingshu said sincerely, "Otherwise, I will teach the cooks in your house how to make cakes and milk tea. Don't make it for Young Master Wei every day, I'm afraid he will get bored in a few days, just make it every now and then to adjust the taste."

Wei Yuanwu pondered for a long time, and had to admit that what the shopkeeper Xiaoling said was very reasonable, and he was a little curious. The shopkeeper Ling was so sensible, he really didn't look like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.

"That's fine too," Wei Yuanwu nodded, "Then follow me to the kitchen."

Lingshu kept his eyes open and said: "I'm not afraid that you will laugh at me for being petty. I want to sign a contract with you. I will teach you these two kinds of food to cook in your house. You can only cook them in the Weifu, and you can't let them go outside, let alone eat them. Use it to make a profit. You know, those small businesses in my family rely on snacks to make money."

"Treasurer Ling's request is very reasonable." Wei Yuanwu didn't think there was anything wrong with Lingshu's words. If any company has real craftsmanship, which one hides the recipes and drawings, even in the capital, there are some Many wealthy merchant families live their lives with their ancestral handicrafts.

Don’t look at the two snacks of cake and milk tea, which may seem inconspicuous, and the method is not complicated, but they are novel. There are no such foods in the capital. Daqing has never had them before. If they are taken outside, they will definitely become popular for a while .

Wei Yuanwu personally wrote a deed, Lingshu read the content carefully, and felt that there was nothing to add, so he pressed his fingerprints.

Wei Yuanwu thought that Lingshu was a country boy who might not know how to read, and wanted to read it to him, but he was a little surprised that Lingshu could read.

In the Daqing Dynasty, reading and literacy was not a small expense, not to mention the tuition fees for the husband, even the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were not affordable for ordinary farmers.

It seems that the family of the treasurer Ling in Yanjia Village does not look like a wealthy family, but I don't know how the treasurer Ling can read and write?

Such doubts circled Wei Yuanwu's mind, and he became more and more suspicious that Lingshu was a child of a wealthy family living outside.

Ling Shu didn't take this to heart, the deed was in duplicate, he took one copy in his arms, followed Wei Yuanwu to the kitchen, taught the cooks how to make cakes and milk tea, and then sat in Wei's mansion The carriage returned to Yan's Village.

When I got home, it was already evening.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw the scene of the villagers who came to help in the small yard working in full swing. The little nephew shouted brightly, "Uncle is back!" He trotted into the main room to tell his parents that there was a rising fire in the kitchen. Smoke curls up.

Lingshu only felt a fever in his heart, and he relaxed after being tense for a long time.

It's better to stay at home.

The helpers greeted Lingshu one after another: "Lingshu is back."

"Are you back?"

"Who is that master at noon? What are you doing?"

"Looking at Lingshu like this, he must have made a lot of money."

Ling Shu smiled and said, "The man's surname is Wei, he is the housekeeper of a family in the town, he asked me to cook a meal for him and gave him some money."

Suddenly someone was surprised and said: "Oh, a butler is so magnificent?!"

"I'm not familiar with it, that's what the butlers of big families do."

Ling Shu didn't speak any more, and let them discuss. He entered the main room, followed by Yan Youfu, the father of the Yan family, and Yan Dachuan, who had been busy all the time.

Yan Dachuan asked: "That person didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

Yan Youfu was also full of concern.

Lingshu's heart warmed, and he said, "No, what's so embarrassing about just cooking a meal, the housekeeper gave me ten taels of silver back, here."

Lingshu took out the silver ingot and showed it to his father and elder brother.

This time the two of them saw Yinzi, and they were no longer surprised, after all, it wasn't the first time they met.

It's just that Yan Youfu was still speechless: "Just cook a meal and give ten taels?! Didn't the Wei family's money fall from the sky?!"

On the contrary, Yan Dachuan said with a serious expression: "Little brother, the housekeeper Wei gave so much money, is there... is there anything wrong with it? Even I, who have never read a book, know that there is nothing in the sky for nothing. Pie, the Wei family, are you trying to plot something with us?"

"That's right, the money given is too generous!" Yan Youfu agreed with the elder son's opinion when he heard it, "Didn't he follow our family's hawthorn sauce recipe?"

Lingshu smiled helplessly: "It's really not what you think, the little money we earn from selling hawthorn sauce, people will not pay attention to it at all, the Weifu alone is probably half the size of Dingchun Town Well, he is from the capital, in my opinion, someone from the Wei family should be a high-ranking official in the capital, our family's business is really not enough in their eyes."

Yan Dachuan frowned, "Little brother, you know more than us, you just have to know it in your heart, in short, you must not be bullied."

Ling Shu nodded obediently.

His godmother Chen Guihua and sister-in-law Chen Lanzhi came in with food, followed by the two younger ones, the whole family sat together for dinner.

Yan Youfu couldn't help showing off with the ten taels of silver: "Look at our family, Ling Shu, who went to cook a meal for others and earned ten taels of silver!"

Chen Guihua said angrily: "If you haven't put away the silver, what's the point of shaking it? Do you understand if the money is not in vain?"

Yan Youfu snorted and said, "Isn't it okay to have a look? There are no outsiders at home."

"I see, our family has a bit of wealth now," Chen Guihua shared a good meal with everyone, and said, "Lingshu is not young anymore, shouldn't it be time to talk about a daughter-in-law?"

Yan Youfu nodded again and again, "It's time to talk about the daughter-in-law, Lingshu needs someone to take care of her."

Lingshu was agitated, and hurriedly said: "No, mother, I'm still young! I don't want to get married yet!"

Oh my god, he's really young, okay?At his home planet, he is still underage at this age!

However, in the Daqing Dynasty, it was too common to get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Most boys got married before, and girls could start talking about their in-laws after they were ten years old, and they married when they were fifteen or sixteen.

But Lingshu couldn't accept it!

Then I heard Chen Guihua say: "You child, what nonsense are you talking about? Look at our village, which kid doesn't start to look after girls at your age? Mother doesn't want you to get married now, but you should always prepare for it." It's done. Now that our family is rich, my mother will definitely prepare more dowry gifts to marry you a good daughter-in-law."

The point is that I don't like women, mother!

The author has something to say: Lingshu: I don't like women!

Wei Xiuya: Yes, my wife only likes me!
