Lin Shiyou looked suspiciously at the young man in front of him, he looked simple and honest, how could he suddenly appear to stop them, "Young man, you are being polite, although I won the examination, but due to family matters, I haven't been awarded the honor for the time being , what do you want me to do when you come here today?"

The politeness he said made Wang Lin a little embarrassed. He scratched his head, and the more he thought about it at home, the more he couldn't wait. He came to the academy before noon, "I was rash just now, I'm sorry. I passed the scholar examination a few years ago, but I failed many times in the Juren examination, and I heard that there is a Juren in the village, so I really want to come and visit, and ask for advice if it is convenient."

Li Yu blinked, this is the scholar who came back from the county!

Seeing that he was polite, Lin Shiyou nodded relaxedly, "Brother, you are welcome. If that is the case, let's go to the academy and talk about it."

Wang Lin smiled immediately: "Thank you, Brother Lin!" Then he noticed that Lin Shi had a handsome brother beside him, with fair skin and a pair of eyes shining brightly. All the brothers I've seen are good-looking!

Li Yu was keenly aware of his gaze, and took the initiative to speak: "My name is Li Yu, Mr. Lin is my husband-in-law."

"I'm sorry, I'm being rude." Wang Lin's secretly probing gaze was spotted by Li Yu, and he became more reserved, his face flushed, and he hesitated, "I heard from my mother that Mrs. Lin's elder brother is in the academy. We have opened a cafeteria and the business is booming, so I would like to ask for advice.”

"Dare to love that Wang Xiucai came to learn art from a teacher. Both my husband and I have been targeted by him." Li Yu twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly.

"I heard that Wang Xiucai came back from the county seat. I also want to ask for advice. How is the restaurant business in the county seat? I wonder if brother Wang Lin can help me."

Li Yu wanted to ask a long time ago, it was inconvenient for them to go to the county, and they couldn't go to investigate by themselves, so asking Wang Xiu was the easiest way.

"Of course, I will know everything." Wang Lin responded readily.

"Since we are about the same age, brother Wang Lin can call us by our names in plain language." Lin Shiyou said as he walked.

"okay!"

Wang Xiucai was a straightforward person, so he entered the academy directly with Lin Shiyou, and Li Yu also went to the wing room to prepare ingredients for making steamed buns.

It wasn't until Lin Shiyou began to give lectures to the students that Wang Lin came out of the house and approached Li Yu to talk to him. The brothers in the normal family seldom talked to other men alone. During Li Yu's stay in Lujia Village, everyone also talked to him. Seeing that the brother of the Lin family has a violent personality, no one can bully him, let alone the kind of person who is always in a hurry, and they are all greedy for his craftsmanship. Men, women and children often come to the cafeteria to eat, so naturally there are fewer taboos.

Li Yu also became interested, and kept chatting with Wang Xiucai, "What does Brother Wang Lin do for a living in the county?"

"I usually copy and write letters for a living. On weekdays, I still have to study and prepare for the imperial examination three years later." Wang Lin watched Li Yu move swiftly and live, all kinds of ingredients were prepared, and he Walking around in the room and looking around the cafeteria, I couldn't help asking: "Brother Yu, how did you come up with the idea of ​​running a cafeteria? I think this is a restaurant in the county town! My mother said that everyone in the village came to cheer, and this business can make money !"

Wang Xiucai spoke frankly, and he seemed to be a straightforward person.

"Our Lin family always has to eat and live in the village. It's too late to farm now. I have cooking skills before, so I naturally thought of this method." Li Yu kept moving, glanced at Wang Lin, and found that Wang Xiucai Looking at these ingredients with scorching eyes, he was listening to Li Yu's words seriously.

Li Yu raised the corner of his mouth, "The buns will be steamed in a while, please taste it, brother Wang Lin, and see if my craftsmanship is comparable to the restaurants in the city."

"That's great!" Wang Lin said excitedly: "To be honest, I have lived in the county for these years, and I have been to restaurants a few times, but they are all the best in the city. Taste it!"

Li Yu smiled, "Brother Wang Lin, did you eat any special dishes in the big restaurants in the city?"

"I went to Zuixianju once, and I copied the books for a rich gentry well, and the master invited him for a banquet."

Wang Lin frowned and recalled: "It seems that there are only pots and pans in the dishes on the table. The ingredients on the table are all raw, there are meat and vegetables, and they are boiled in the oven when eating. I went there in winter. My body is warming up!" Just thinking about Wang Xiucai swallowed his saliva, fearing that he would never be able to eat that delicious food again!

This is the most unique dish he has ever eaten. Unexpectedly, Li Yu laughed out loud after hearing this. Wang Xiucai was puzzled: "Brother Yu, have you heard of this dish? You must have seen it often in the capital before."

After all, the Lin family came from the capital, so they must have seen more tricks than the people in the village.

Li Yu shook his head, "Brother Wang Lin, what you're talking about is hot pot. Huziniang and Huzi ate at my house a few days ago."

"I didn't expect Brother Yu to even do this!"

"I also used my own exclusive secret recipe. The soup base of that pot has been adjusted to be spicy, and now it is enjoyable to eat in summer!" Li Yu replied proudly: "It's just that the hot pot is lively when there are many people eating it, otherwise I have already prepared it in the cafeteria."

The more Wang Lin heard it, the more he admired Li Yu. Most brothers only know how to work and have children. How could Li Yu have such knowledge and skills? When he came to their small village, he could make money. When he thought that he had been out for so many years He didn't win the exam, and missed the opportunity to go back to the village to teach. Suddenly, his thoughts were confused, and he couldn't help sighing, and his mood was no longer the excitement and joy just now.

Li Yu felt that the people next to him suddenly became quiet, and asked after consideration: "Brother Wang Lin has returned to the village now, but everything has been arranged." He didn't want to inquire about other people's affairs, but Wang Xiucai looked That's right, Li Yu treated it as a casual chat and talked to him a few more words.

"To tell you the truth, Brother Yu, I planned to teach in the village before I came back, but..." Wang Lin hesitated, not knowing how to answer.

Li Yu instantly understood the meaning of Wang Lin's words. It turned out that he came back late, and the academy already had a husband, and the only viable way to make a living was gone.During these days, Xianggong taught well, and some children came to the academy, but there was no room for them to sit down.

Wang Xiucai did say what was in his heart, but after thinking about it, he couldn't make the decision himself. On the one hand, he had to ask the village chief, and on the other hand, he had to ask the villagers whether they would agree or not.With Juren to teach;

This talent is no longer popular.But if Xianggong asks for leave in the future, someone can replace him, and it won't delay the children from going to school.

While talking, Li Yu's steamed buns were almost ready, and after chatting for a while, Wang Lin helped bring them to the cafeteria, and the villagers came to eat one after another. Li Yu brought him five steamed buns and asked him to taste them. Now Wang Lin is sitting at the table and eating, "It's so delicious, Brother Yu, I've never eaten buns with this stuffing in the county! The ones stuffed with tofu and stuffed with soy sauce are the best!"

Li Yu smiled and nodded, this tofu stuffing should indeed be the only one!

After school in the afternoon, Wang Lin took Lin Shiyou to ask some questions. After he left, it was almost evening, and when he returned to the west wing of Lin's house, Li Yu lay down on the bed and rested.

"Xiaoyu, Lin Xiucai asked me a lot of questions today, always asking me how I passed the exam?" Lin Shiyou said helplessly while rubbing Li Yu's wrist: "He has a straight temper, and he asks whatever he thinks, but he doesn't like it. I don't know how to answer."

"I asked him a lot of questions today!" Li Yu smiled brightly, "But Wang Lin laughed at himself as a poor scholar. Although he has lived in the county for many years and has never tasted any fancy dishes, he has a straightforward personality. We left the village, and the children in the village also have husbands."

Did Lin Shi ask Li Yu why he would leave the village after talking about it, because he also knew that they would not be confined to this place, and would return to the capital sooner or later.

"The village chief came over at noon and said something. In a few days, several academies in the town will hold a joint competition. The villages below will send people to the competition. The children will compete in Cuju, and the teachers in the school will compete in calligraphy. I plan to bring tigers to our academies. Let’s go to participate, then we will go to the town together, what do you think?”

Lin Shiyou discussed with Li Yu.

"Of course it's appropriate. Xianggong has practiced calligraphy since he was a child, and he will definitely win the top prize!" Li Yu sat up excitedly, "What kind of prize do you get if you win? Is it for money?"

Lin Shiyou saw Li Yu's cute appearance, with crooked eyes filled with smiles, so he couldn't help leaning over to touch his forehead, and jokingly said in a low voice: "Xiao Yu is really a money fanatic, if I win you will give me money." What kind of prize am I?"

Li Yu blinked and stroked Lin Shiyou's chin, "We'll wait until you win."

The two of them in the room were talking heart-to-heart when there was a knock on the door suddenly, "Sometimes, Brother Yu, the old man told us to go to the main hall." Outside the door, the wife of the third room came to greet them, guessing what to say .

When the members of the first, second, and third rooms were all gathered, the old man glanced around.

Today, the old man has a smile on his face. Although he is trying his best to stretch himself, he can see that he looks full of energy. It should be a good thing. Li Yu squeezed Lin Shiyou's fingertips, which is what the two of them often have. little action.

"The date of Lin Yanzi's marriage has been set. It will be on the eighth day of next month. There are still three days left. It was agreed before that our Lin family will have a meal together. I will pay for the food, and the three daughters-in-law will be responsible for the preparation. Do you agree?" The old man was in a good mood, and he was also asking for everyone's opinions. Everyone else nodded, and the eldest daughter-in-law curled her lips and winked and said, "Doesn't the Lin family have a cook? Do we still need us to cook?"

"Brother Yu is a junior, so naturally he has no reason to cook for my younger sister!" The old man glanced at Dafang's family with an unhappy expression, "You elders should be responsible, so it's settled!"

Li Yu raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at Mrs. Dafang, with undisguised sarcasm, turned around and pulled Lin Shiyou back to the house. He leaned into Xianggong's ear and said softly: "Xianggong, I want to have a date with you later. Take a bath."

Lin Shiyou agreed with a smile, and cast a sideways glance at Mrs. Dafang. When Mrs. Dafang saw Lin Shiyou's eyes, she felt an inexplicable chill. Her pupils shrank slightly, and her shoulders shivered unconsciously.Her daughter-in-law next to her suddenly let out an "oops" and ran to the toilet in the backyard.

Mrs. Dafang stared in that direction for a long while before she lowered her eyes, "Hmph, since you insist on letting me cook, you can't blame me if you have problems eating it!"
