After the gourmet up dressed as a spoiled man

This dish is a local specialty. In autumn, Li Yu marinated a vat of sauerkraut, and it was marinated after so long

This dish is a local specialty. In autumn, Li Yu marinated a vat of sauerkraut. It took so long to pickle it. That day, he saw the big vat and thought of making a pig-killing dish.

Lin Shiyou didn't believe what Li Yu said, how could raw pig blood be imported.

Seeing that Xianggong was not deceived by him, instead he glanced up and down like a torch, as if he was thinking about how to punish him if he was caught cheating.

"Of course it's fake. It's called blood sausage. It won't be eaten until it's steamed in a pot." Li Yu bent his eyes and quickly explained, his eyelashes trembling slightly. From Lin Shiyou's angle, he could see a small shadow cast by the eyelashes, as if Gently brushing from the apex of the heart, I also felt the itching in my heart.

With a smile on his face, he said, "Then I'll try it later, and I'll have a full meal when I get home at night."

Lin Shiyou deliberately bit the word "eat" very hard, and looked at him with a smile.It took Li Yu a while to realize that Xianggong was making an excuse to torment him again at night.

There was an accident and he was very busy these days, and the two of them hadn't returned to the village for a few days, and he missed his bed at home.Glancing at Xianggong's eyes that were getting deeper and deeper, Li Yu gave a knowing "hmm" like a mosquito, "We'll talk about it tonight."

Back in Lujia Village, Li Yu took a look at the sauerkraut vat first. When he got close, he could smell the sour smell from the natural fermentation and pickling of cabbage. The color of the leaves was yellowish and bright. Move to a small kitchen so the sauerkraut can be stored for the winter.

The next morning, Li Yu was thinking about cooking, and before he opened his eyes, he muttered to ask Lin Shiyou to put some sauerkraut in a wooden barrel, as if he was talking in sleep, and then his voice gradually disappeared after a few more instructions.

Lin Shiyou raised the corners of his lips and lightly pecked at the end of his eyes. Li Yu was coaxed by him to take the initiative a lot last night, and in the end he was so tired that he leaned on his neck and bit his collarbone to make him hurry up. .

Lin Shiyou brushed his sweaty temples, pinned the few strands of his hair behind his ears, and made him lean against the soft quilt before obeying his request.

After tossing around in the middle of the night, a full moon hung outside the window, and the white light of the stars was shining.The moonlight shines in through the window and is reflected on the table. The candles on the table are burned out and the candlestick emits wisps of white smoke.

Lin Shiyou was wearing an undershirt and half leaning against the head of the bed, staring down at Li Yu's profile, and gently stroking the center of his brow with his fingertips.

His eyebrows are beautifully shaped. At this moment, two creases can be clearly seen on the eyelids with his eyes closed. His long eyelashes are trembling slightly, plucking at his heartstrings bit by bit.

Li Yu cried just now, and there was still a watermark at the end of his eyes, Lin Shiyou couldn't help but stretched out his fingers to wipe away the watermark, leaving only a small piece of blush that melted into his skin.The person in front of him was completely asleep at this moment, his thin white fingers were still clutching the bed sheet unconsciously, as if he was in a dream, and he was still uttering a few intermittent babbles.

Lin Shiyou watched quietly for a while, and waited for Li Yu to fall asleep completely before putting on his clothes and getting up to leave the room.The west wing was quiet, and the moonlight shone in the small courtyard. He skillfully went to the kitchen to light a fire and boiled half a basin of hot water and brought it back to the room.

On the bed, Li Yu turned over in his sleep, and kicked the quilt aside, revealing his thin and well-proportioned calves and ankles, which looked like a piece of white jade in the moonlight.

Lin Shiyou tried the temperature of the water to wet the veil, and gently wiped his neck and collarbone. The thin beads of sweat on it were wiped dry, but the few red marks had not disappeared, and the wet veil appeared to be even more so. clear.

Li Yu was easily picked up by his strong arms, and then he changed his direction while lying on his stomach. Lin Shiyou slowly rubbed his slender back. Xiao Yu's waist was thin and flexible, and a pair of big hands could almost hold it , I could feel a slight tremor under my palm when I was emotional just now.

He held the handkerchief and stood by his waist for a long time, staring at the fingerprints with an unclear expression. Li Yu's white hands were folded on top of his big hands, his knuckles turned red with force, and his fingers were intertwined to prevent him from leaving. He restrained himself With his own strength, but still left a mark.

The room was quiet, only the slight breathing sound of the person on the bed. Lin Shiyou felt his heartbeat getting faster and faster. After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief, smiled lightly and shook his head, quickly washed the veil again and wiped Li Yu off quickly. Putting on a snow-white undershirt again, he washed it hastily, then lay down next to him, took him into his arms, and then closed his eyes.

After sleeping until dawn, the chickens in the village began to crow, Li Yu suppressed his sleepiness and told Lin Shiyou to go back to sleep.

Lin Shiyou was full of energy, got up and dressed contentedly, went to pick up sauerkraut in the big vat, and just picked up one when he heard a cough from behind, he was slightly startled, and when he turned around, he saw his parents standing behind with serious expressions.

"Mom, you guys also get up so early, do you want some sauerkraut?"

The two asked without answering, "Did you get up in the middle of the night last night?"

Lin Shiyou put down the sauerkraut and said with a smile: "Father and mother, what are you doing staring at our house without sleeping in the middle of the night? You didn't come to the courtyard, did you?"

"Who cares to look at you? I woke up last night and heard noises in the courtyard. I thought it was a thief. I was so scared that I never let go of it. I called your father up and went out to have a look. " Mrs. Sanfang spoke quickly and said: "After listening for a while, I realized that there was movement in the kitchen. Your father was carrying a stick. We both leaned over the door and saw that it was you. You don't sleep in the middle of the night. Why do you get up! "

Lin Shiyou, who asked this question, didn't know how to answer, but he was speechless when he succeeded, so he could only vaguely say, "What else can I do, I'll boil some hot water."

After all, Mrs. Sanfang is a woman who is more careful than her husband. She looked at it for a moment, and when she saw her son's slightly evasive expression, she immediately understood that she must have been awake to boil water in the middle of the night, and she couldn't figure out what she did. I asked, how did this have something to do with the child's room again!

She couldn't bear to keep asking, so she quickly interrupted Lin Fu, "Let's go, it's okay, we won't wake up at midnight from now on!"

Lin Fu was dazed, and before he finished speaking, his daughter-in-law pulled her sleeves and dragged him away. Just as he was about to ask, his wife said sharply, "It's okay, it's fine, there are no thieves, so don't ask."

Looking at the backs of the two of them, Lin Shiwang seemed to be running away, and he couldn't help but sigh how it happened so coincidentally that his parents saw it again. It seems that water must be prepared in advance at night.

After Li Yu got enough sleep, got up and washed up, he went to the shop with a few barrels of sauerkraut.

Zhang Meng had already delivered the pork, and as soon as Brother Dong entered the kitchen, he saw pieces of blood sausage that Li Yu had poured, and he couldn't tell what it was, so he asked doubtfully, "Brother Yu, how do you eat this? Do you want it cooked?"

Brother Dong is eager to learn, and Li Yu often taught him how to cook when he was helping out. The dishes in the shop are all fresh, most of which people have never seen before, but Li Yu never hides his secrets. Some women came to ask him out of curiosity. He also answered patiently, and he is more willing to teach Brother Dong on weekdays.

Hearing his question, he immediately told him about the production process. The two cut sauerkraut and pork belly together. Li Yu said: "The sauerkraut should be cut into thin shreds, and the root of the sauerkraut should be cut with a vegetable blade. Just cut it into thick slices."

Brother Dong nodded. He learned a lot of cooking methods here, and he tried cooking for Old Man Shen when he went back. The money the two of them earn now is enough for the family. Naturally, the food can be improved.

"This is called blood sausage." Li Yu showed it with a blood sausage. "It's made of pig's small intestine and pig blood. It will be boiled in a pot while sauerkraut is cooked, and it can be eaten with garlic."

Brother Dong and Lin Shiyou reacted exactly the same way, they frowned and couldn't understand that it didn't look like eating, Li Yu's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but suspect that neither of them seemed acceptable, and no one would buy it after making it later What to do?

Li Yu said: "Don't think it looks bad now, it will be fragrant after a while, let's keep two to taste!"

Since Brother Yu said yes, it should be right, Brother Dong smiled and said "ah".

The two cooperated tacitly, washed the sauerkraut, put oil in two large pots, added onion, ginger, garlic and star anise, sautéed until fragrant, put the sauerkraut and stir-fried well, then added half a pot of water, put the sliced ​​meat in and stewed together.

Li Yu only chose pork belly and hind legs, and didn't put pigs into the water, fearing that people would not be able to accept the taste of offal, so two big pots of stewed vegetables plus rice and steamed buns would be enough to sell.

After boiling the pot, reduce the stove fire and simmer on low heat, which can make the dishes more flavorful and have a lot of soup. The sauerkraut and white meat are almost ready to cook. Brother Dong is looking forward to cooking the blood sausage most.

Under his expectant eyes, Li Yu put the blood sausage into the sauerkraut pot. After cooking for half a quarter of an hour, he took a chopstick and pricked it lightly. There was a "squeak" and some pig blood overflowed. It's not cooked through, and the pig's blood has been completely coagulated after cooking for a while.

Blood sausage is the most important thing to heat, it can't be too tender or too old. Li Yu directly fished out the blood sausage and put it aside. Brother Dong sniffed it curiously. There was indeed no bloody smell, only the aroma of sauerkraut.

As soon as the lid of the pot was lifted just now, the smell of meat was wafting in the kitchen. Li Yu cut the blood sausage into thick sections and put it in a bowl with sauerkraut and white meat.

"I see that it says pig-killing dishes on the menu, do you smell the aroma?"

"I've smelled it a long time ago. It smells really good. I just want to try what it is?"

As soon as Li Yu served a few bowls, the people in the front row gathered around, "Is the red meat in that bowl, why haven't I seen it before?"

"Brother Yu is researching a new trick again, what is it used for?"

Blood sausage was new to them, and they couldn't figure it out for a while.Li Yu got an idea, "Since everyone is curious, why not come and guess what ingredients this is made of. I will invite the first guest who guesses right to this meal!"

Those who often come here to eat are those who can taste a few things. When they heard that there is still Caitou, they immediately became excited, and they all looked around the plate and thought, "I think there is a layer of skin on the outside, which looks like intestines!"

"No, no." Another old woman retorted, "Is the intestines still edible? Pig intestines or sheep intestines? I don't think so."

"Then what do you say is inside!"

"Don't worry, let me think about it again."

Several people discussed together but didn't see a way. Li Yu smiled and announced the answer, "This dish is called pig-killing dish, and the red one is called blood sausage. The inside is my seasoned pig blood and the outer layer is pig small intestine."

"Hey, brother Yu's brain is so vivid, how can we ordinary people think of such a way!"

"It's the first time I see this food, I have to have a bowl!"

Big guys always like to pay for novelty things, Brother Dong served a small dish of garlic paste for everyone, blood sausage with garlic paste is the most authentic taste.

The man who just guessed that the outer layer was intestines couldn’t wait to sit down and picked up a piece of blood sausage and tasted it. The intestine skin was chewy, and the pig’s blood was smooth and tender. It had the aroma of chopped green onion and pepper powder. It melts when chewed. The pork belly stewed together is fat and thin, and it tastes delicious but not greasy when dipped in garlic.The pig-killing dishes have both vegetables and meat, and the sauerkraut stewed in the meat soup is more delicious. It absorbs the mellow aroma of fresh pork and has the unique taste of blood sausage. It is fragrant and relieves greasiness.

The man swallowed a few mouthfuls abruptly, the dishes were just hot out of the pan, and he chewed them all before slowly savoring them. He sighed loudly: "It's really delicious, you have to taste it, Brother Yu will give it to you later." I'll take three bowls, and I want to take them home for dinner!"

"okay!"

He yelled at the other people to buy a bowl, ten cents a bowl would not lose money anyway, it looked like it would be delicious.

There are few blood sausages in the first place, and everyone wants to try them out, and they are sold out in a short time. People in the queue behind only bought some sauerkraut and white meat, and they praised it again and again.

The guests at several tables in the house left after eating and drinking. There was not even soup left in the two pots of braised sauerkraut. Li Yu only left two blood sausages in advance, and steamed five more with the remaining few buns. Eggs, three people have lunch.

Lin Shiyou took a whole blood sausage and put it in a food box, Brother Dong subconsciously waved his hand and refused, "Don't spend the money on the shopkeeper, my father can't eat so much."

"Oh, this is a new thing, let old man Shen try it!" Li Yu's eyes flashed, and he thought of something, and said casually: "Besides, someone comes to your house every day, let him try it too."

Brother Dong's eyes were clear and he blinked a few times before he realized it, his face turned red quickly visible to the naked eye, and he said, "Brother Yu, don't make fun of me!"

After one night, when he thought about it, he still felt that it was unreal. Yesterday Liu Yuanwai sent him home, and he lowered his head and couldn't speak during the journey, his face was as red as a boiled shrimp.

When he was almost home, he dared to take a peek at Yuanwai Liu's face. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his amber eyes clearly reflected his figure. Brother Dong glanced at him as if he had been scalded, and hurriedly opened the courtyard door and entered. .

Member Liu was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself that Brother Dong would not keep silent in the future, and suddenly the door opened a gap, and Brother Dong's thin white fingers poked at the side of the door, revealing half of his face, and whispered, "Thank you." " Immediately withdrew his hand, and the courtyard door closed with a bang.

Brother Dong was immersed in his own thoughts, so naturally he didn't hear the voice of others calling him. Li Yu looked at Brother Dong's ecstasy, looked at Lin Shiyou and couldn't help but smile.

After eating, Lin Shiyou cleared the accounts for the past few days. Since Wu Ming spread the rumor, there have been many customers in the store, and the daily income has also increased significantly. Last month, he gave Brother Dong three coins a month. Money, Zhang Meng and Li Qing's two coins, the efficiency of the store has become better, and it is inseparable from the help of several employees. He and Xiaoyu have already discussed, and we will give everyone some salary increases this month.

Lin Shiyou set aside money and put it on the table, and Li Yu specially prepared a beautifully embroidered small purse for wages.

Last month, when I got my wages, Brother Dong saved up half of it. He thought about returning it to the pharmacy when his father recovered from his illness. This time, he felt that the bag was heavy as soon as he got it, and it was much more than before.

Seeing him standing there blankly with puzzled eyes, Li Yu chuckled lightly and said, "We'll give everyone a wage increase this month, and there's five renminbi in it."

Brother Dong was overjoyed, "Thank you shopkeeper!"

He has never received so much money before, working here with Brother Yu is very easy, he can go home after noon every day, and he can still get so much money in a month, the more he thinks about it, the more he feels embarrassed.

"Brother Yu, is this too much money?" Brother Dong asked earnestly while clutching the small bag, "I didn't do that much work either!"

Li Yu laughed with a "puhchi" and said, "Who thinks it's too much for a wage increase? You can take it at ease, Zhang Meng and the others have also raised it. You have helped me a lot on weekdays. I will teach you how to do it in the future." Dish, let’s work together to do better together!”

Others are afraid of being stolen if they have a skill, but Li Yu offered to teach it. Brother Dong nodded and thanked him for his kindness.

When Zhang Meng and Zhang Meng came, Brother Dong had already left first. They were just happy after receiving the monthly money. After seeing the money, they widened their eyes excitedly. Even Li Qing was surprised and said: "Shopkeeper, you Give the two of us four renminbi, even the guys in Bawanglou don’t even have that much wages!”

Li Yu and Lin Shiyou exchanged glances, both of them could see the puzzlement in each other's eyes, how could their tricks be so honest, and they felt flattered by a raise in wages!

"Just take it, work hard, and the price will increase in the future!"

Ever since Zhang Meng and Li Qing recognized Lin Shiyou as their eldest brother, they have completely calmed down. They are no longer gangsters on the street doing nothing all day long, and saving money even if they make money. Where is the daughter-in-law?

He often envied the relationship between the two shopkeepers, if only he had a wife at home, and someone who knows the cold and the hot will be hurt, no matter what you say, it would be better if the wages are more, and the work will be more energetic!

"Don't worry about the shopkeeper, we brothers promise to work hard!" The two voices were loud, and after shouting in unison, they immediately went to the kitchen to clean up.

Lin Shiyou nodded slightly. It is indeed a good thing that the two of them can change for the better. Li Yu raised his mouth and put his chin on his arm to tease, "Master, it is thanks to you for taking in two younger brothers. Look at their current appearance, they are really decent. son."

Lin Shiyou said: "Just treat it as a good person and a good deed."

In the afternoon he went to the academy, and the shop was also idle. Li Yu planned to take a nap in the small room behind the kitchen.

Brother Dong quickly pushed open the courtyard door with the food box in hand. Father Shen was gathering firewood. He went to the foot of the mountain to pick up a cart of wood in the past few days, which was enough to survive the winter.

"Brother Dong is back!" Father Shen hurriedly put down his ax to pick up the food box in Brother Dong's hand and went back to the house, "Brother Yu brings me so much every day, how can I finish eating this child? .”

"Father, it's not that you don't know. Our shopkeeper is kind and wants you to taste all the delicious food. Today's food is special. You have never seen it before."

Brother Dong joked, "Guess what this is?"

Since when did Father Shen have researched food, he would be satisfied with a steamed bun that could fill his stomach, but seeing this dish was really strange, he frowned and tasted it tentatively, and couldn't help but widen his eyes and nod, "It's really good , it tastes delicious, but I can't guess your father, so tell me quickly."

"Father, this is called blood sausage. It is made of pig blood and pig intestines. Brother Yu is amazing. You can think of it."

Father Shen ate steamed buns with pig-killing dishes. He was not hungry at first, but he ate three dry food in one meal. He rubbed his stomach and licked his lips, still thinking about it.

Brother Dong told him about the wage increase after eating with him, but Father Shen was overjoyed, "Father will save these money for you, and when you get married, I will leave it to you to live."

In the past, Father Shen seldom mentioned the aspect of his son's marriage. Firstly, he was ashamed to say so, because he blamed himself for dragging down the family, and secondly, he was afraid that Brother Dong would think too much. Now that life is getting better, this matter has to be considered.

"Father, what are you talking about? This money is for honoring you. You have the final say on what to buy." Brother Dong changed the subject, "I can make more money."

Father Shen waved his hand and went to the courtyard again, picked up the ax and started chopping firewood. Brother Dong piled it up in the corner, when Father Shen suddenly asked, "Is Mr. Liu interested in you?"

He didn't raise his head when he spoke, and kept staring at the wooden stake, as if he was just asking casually, but Brother Dong was frightened. side.

"You child, what are you afraid of!"

Father Shen knows his son well. Brother Dong has been an honest child since he was a child, obedient and sensible. When he grows up, he is even more simple-minded, unguarded against others, and easy to trust others.

They have known Liu Yuanwai for two months. Brother Dong has no thoughts, but he can see that Liu Yuanwai delivers medicine at home every afternoon. I also tasted it, there are so many clerks in the pharmacy, how can the shopkeeper run errands every day, he must have his own purpose.

He thought hard for a few days, and looking at his son's face, he suddenly had a bold idea in his heart, and he couldn't ask rashly, so he could only pay more attention to observe when Mr. Liu came out, and he saw it. My brother thought about it and cheated just now. Seeing his son's flustered appearance, this is indeed the case.

Father Shen asked harshly, "Has he expressed his heart to you?"

"Father, don't ask, the horoscope has not been written yet!"

Brother Dong has been quite shy in the past two days. At this time, when his father asked again, he didn't want to twitch, but he didn't know how to answer, so he could only reply: "Mr. Liu told me yesterday, I... I agreed first." Get along with each other, Dad, I didn't deliberately hide it from you!"

"You child, father can still blame you for failing." Father Shen beckoned for his son to come over, Brother Dong immediately showed a smiling face and snuggled up to his side.

"Father is afraid that you will lose money. I have inquired about it. Mr. Liu lives alone in such a big house in the town, and there are shops at home to do business. I heard from the townspeople that all the elders of his family live in the capital. It's the ancestral property that let him take care of it when he has nothing to do, he is not an ordinary family like us, if he takes a fancy to your appearance to fool you, you will feel better in the future."

Father Shen opened up his mind and wanted to remind his son that he does not want his son to live a life of prosperity and wealth, it is enough for the two of them to live without worrying about food and clothing.

The more wealthy the young master is, the more he can't control himself, his son feels sorry for himself, who can say for sure what will happen in the future!

Brother Dong lowered his head and stared at the upper of the shoe, his mind was full of thoughts. He also thought of what his father said. The worst result was a dream. He woke up this morning and made up his mind. Liu Yuanwai was right. How will you know if you don't try?Since he chose to separate one day, it would be fine, and he doesn't regret it.

He told Father Shen truthfully what he thought in his heart. Father Shen stroked the top of his son's head and sighed softly looking at Brother Dong's gentle and firm eyes. He naturally supported his son. He decides for himself.

On weekdays, Liu Yuanwai is polite and polite, he speaks calmly and does things calmly, and since he can do business, he is also a person with a lot of eyes. Brother Dong and him can live without suffering from outsiders.

But all fathers have this thought, "Brother Dong, if Liu Yuanwai dares to betray you, father will chop him with this ax and vent his anger for you!" He also waved the small ax decently , Brother Dong was so teased that he couldn't stop giggling, with tears at the end of his eyes, he thought to himself, hoping that his choice was not wrong.

People just got a new food, and the freshness is in full swing, and the number of people queuing up is half as high as before. Li Yu had expected this to happen, and yesterday he asked Zhang Meng to go to a few more butcher shops to buy pig blood and small intestines. , Zhang Meng brought three pots of pig blood early in the morning, enough to make four or five pots of pig-killing dishes.

Li Yu patiently taught Brother Dong to fill the blood sausage. He learned quickly. He made two and put them in the sauerkraut pot. The pot was bubbling and the pork belly was already cooked. It's ready to cook.

The few customers who came to the shop in advance to occupy seats couldn't wait just to smell the smell. An old man swallowed dryly and spit and said in a low voice: "I bought a bowl yesterday, and I brought my old lady here early today. Now, you smell the fragrance in this room, it smells even better than yesterday!"

"Old man Zhang, I think you are just a glutton, and you still want to eat every day when you are old." Several people who knew him mercilessly teased him, and the old woman snorted and replied: "We old couple have money. At such an advanced age, if you still have good teeth, you won’t have to eat more delicious food, and it’s not a waste of your time in the world.”

After she finished speaking, the people beside her also nodded in agreement, "What the aunt said is that dry food buns are not as fragrant as killing pigs and vegetables!"

The front hall was chatting lively, and the dishes in the back kitchen were out of the pot. Lin Shi had a cash register, and Li Yu and Brother Dong served the dishes. In less than half an hour, the pots of sauerkraut were all sold out.

Lin Shiyou went to the academy after finishing his work in the store. Today, the old dean brought him a stack of manuscripts and told him to go to the bookseller to negotiate a contract. There was nothing wrong with the store, so he went out without worry after eating. the door.

Before Li Yu woke up from his nap, he felt itchy on his face, as if a small bug was crawling. He forced himself to open his eyes, and saw that Xianggong's fingertips were stroking his hair.

Li Yu said "Oh", "You're back so soon?"

Lin Shiyou said in a warm voice, "See what I brought you?"

"This is the recipe given to me by the bookseller Boss Qian. He said that this book was very popular when it was released a while ago. It sold very well in the county town. We couldn't buy it in our town. I saw that I specially gave me a copy in the past. .”

When Li Yu heard that it was the recipe, he immediately became energetic. He flipped through a few pages, and found that the first few dishes were indeed at the level of the signature dishes of a big restaurant, and the ingredients used in the more complicated production steps were also high-end ingredients.The follow-up is some small Maocai, which can be prepared in a home-cooked restaurant.

He read it carefully twice again, and the quality of the content of this book was not as good as the cookbook in his little luggage.

"Is the same person wrote the recipe, Xianggong? Does the person who wrote the recipe make money?"

Li Yu had an idea in his heart, since others can post recipes, can these creative dishes that he made can also be gathered together to publish a book?

"Xiaoyu wants to publish a book?" Lin Shiyou asked doubtfully, "You have developed so many new tricks and people like it, I will ask Boss Qian some other day! Maybe publishing a book will really work!"

Li Yu's eyebrows were curved, and his black eyes flickered, "A few days ago when I taught Brother Dong to cook, the things he couldn't remember were all written down with pen and paper. Isn't this the recipe! I How could I have never thought that if we can distribute the book, we will definitely make a lot of money, and these new dishes will definitely be popular!"

He spoke excitedly, Lin Shiyou looked at him with gentle eyes and a smile, the two were discussing the recipe, when there was a clear and clear voice at the door.

"Brother Xiaoyu, are you at home?"

When Li Yu went to the front hall, he saw that Dongxue had brought Lu Yuanyuan over. Lu Yuanyuan was wearing a goose-yellow skirt today, with a sky-high dome on her head, not to mention how cute she looked.

She ran over with short legs and said, "Brother Xiaoyu, I have delivered a letter to you."

"Yuanyuan is really doing well, there will be news so soon." Li Yu took the envelope and touched the top of Lu Yuanyuan's head.

The little girl happily turned around a few times and asked: "Brother Xiao Yu, do you think my new dress looks good? Daddy bought it for me!"

"It's so pretty, the skirt is the best for Yuanyuan, and she looks like a little beauty in it."

Li Yu knew what the little girl liked to hear, so Lu Yuanyuan covered her face and smiled sweetly as soon as she said the words.

Lin Shiyou silently took snacks and put them on the table. After all, Lu Yuanyuan was young, and she was immediately attracted by other things, and she just forgot about other things.

Seeing this, Dong Xue smiled lightly and said, "Miss has been thinking about delivering the letter for a long time. I was afraid that the shop was busy in the morning and we would be too disturbed, so I came here at this time. The master gave us the letter last night."

Lin Shiyou opened the envelope and only wrote the time and place of the competition, but nothing else.Li Yu leaned over and glanced in surprise, "The competition in the county is really mysterious, why is there nothing?"

Dongxue explained: "Master inquired in the county, the rules of this competition is a lottery system, and it may be troublesome to unify the competition with a large number of applicants.

Therefore, the form of random drawing is adopted, and the preliminary competition is a group of two people, who cook with uniform ingredients.The content of the semi-finals and finals has not yet been announced. I heard that many chefs and foreigners have come to the town, and there must be masters among them. Run to watch the fun. "

"Alien?"

"Where are the foreigners who often come to Lushan County from? Li Yu doesn't know much about the county, but Dongxue knows more about the locals." The general foreigners are people from outside the Great Wall. They run butcher shops selling beef, mutton and some Small restaurants, people in the county also like it very much. "

Li Yu nodded slightly, and before he could respond, Dongxue said again: "There is a popular contestant named Mu Yun, who is said to be nicknamed Saibei Kuangdao. It's a hard dish, so someone has already bet that he will win the championship this time. There are also a few chefs who came back from the capital, but because it is a random draw, you don't know who your opponent is. Wait until the day before the competition Only two people will be notified. The judges for the competition are all from the yamen and some owners of restaurants. The 100 taels of silver are also given half by the yamen and the big restaurant."

Dong Xue talked so much at once, Lin Shiyou handed her a glass of water at the right time, Lu Yuanyuan lay on the pile of snacks and ate her mouth full of snack scum, she couldn't care about what others said.

"The master also told me to tell you not to worry, he will bring back any news, it is still early and there are five days to prepare.

But the competition system is quite special, the ingredients are all selected on the spot, you only know your opponent but you don’t know what kind of dish to cook, so the competition is very difficult, and the big casinos have already started betting when they are full. "

As soon as Dong Xue finished speaking, Li Yu and his wife understood that the format of the competition had never been seen before. It was not as simple as the competition in the town. Since it was a competition in the county, there must be some new tricks.

"I think this kind of arrangement can be said to whet people's appetite, and the gimmick will naturally attract a large number of people to watch the fun."

Li Yu lazily said: "There might be a dark horse among these contestants."

Lu Yuanyuan wiped the crumbs from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve, "Brother Xiao Yu, don't worry, you will definitely win."

Li Yu was in a happy mood and stretched out his little finger to hook her, "If brother Xiao Yu wins, I will buy you a table of delicious food."

"Great!"

In the past few days, the enthusiasm of the guests for the pig-killing dishes has only increased. It just so happened that there was nothing to prepare for the competition.

On the day of the competition, Brother Dong and Yuanwai Liu were ready to go with them. Yuanwai Liu asked the coachman to drive over in his own carriage and sent them to the county seat.

Maybe it's time for a competition. The crowds on the street are bustling with people, all kinds of shouts and applause from jugglers merge together. There is a juggler on the side of the road who is jumping through a ring of fire. I saw that person with his upper body fast running through the two connected ones. Ten rings of fire came out unscathed, and the fire was real fire, which could be ignited by throwing wood over it.

Everyone threw copper coins one after another. Brother Dong and Li Yu saw each other for the first time. They stared at each other and couldn't take their eyes off. Wen, a few people walked and watched along the street, and they only felt that it was very lively when they were in it.

Brother Dong had never been to the county seat before, so he was surprised to see everything. He stared wide-eyed and looked left and right. There were many people on the street. Member Liu held a fan in one hand and tentatively shook Brother Dong's hand with the other.

The distance between the two drew closer, Brother Dong was startled for a moment, and then his fair cheeks were stained with a faint blush, he hesitated for a while but didn't push him away, Yuanwai Liu secretly raised the corners of his mouth and clenched it tighter.

A group of people arrived at the competition venue in the county, and there were already many people around to watch the excitement.Li Yu was scheduled to compete in the afternoon. The morning competition was over, and the casino below the stage was betting on the afternoon prize. Lin Shiyou glanced at it casually, and there were almost a few hundred taels of silver on the table.

Li Yu glanced at the gambling table from time to time, Lin Shi could tell from his expression that Xiao Yu wanted to join in the fun again.

He turned his head to Li Yu's ear and whispered, "Let's pay ten taels of silver for a while, is that enough?"

Li Yu was obviously satisfied and winked mischievously at him.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the manager knocked on the gong and called his name: "Everyone, be quiet, No. 76 Li Yu, No. 100 Mu Yun, are both contestants here? Come on stage when you come."

The name Mu Yun sounds like a literati, but before Dongxue said that this person has the title of Saibei Crazy Saber, he must be a martial artist.

Sure enough, a tall and burly man came on the stage. Li Yu also met many people in the village and town, and he had never seen such a strong man.

He was wearing special costumes, and some animal bones and bells were hung on the animal belt wrapped around his waist, and the bells jingled when he walked.There is no hair on the head, only a piece of hair on the top of the head is tied with a small chirp, which is somewhat similar to Lu Yuanyuan's soaring hair.There is a beard on the side of the face, the eyes are slightly narrowed, and the eyebrows are rough, and the cheeks are a little red and bloodshot. Perhaps it is often exposed to the wind and sun, and the face is darker than others.

He slammed his kitchen knife into the cutting board with a bang.This move stunned the people below, and the acquaintances began to applaud, "Mu Yun is the most powerful cook of ours, with a superb knife skill, he will definitely win this time!"

"Okay! I'll bet on him too. I've never heard of the guy on the other side, and he doesn't look like a good cook with his small body!"

"I've bought meat from his store. This guy is good at knives! Look at his posture, that guy is obviously too weak."

People in the county town have heard of Mu Yun's name more or less. On the other hand, Li Yu is a brother and has never been to the county. Naturally, other people don't know him and no one cheers for him. Only Lin Shiyou and Dong Geer three People cheer for him.

The cook named Mu Yun obviously didn't like Li Yu either, he folded his arms and snorted coldly: "A little brother dares to challenge me, do you know my name? Saibei Kuangdao is talking about me!"

Li Yu rolled his eyes and said casually: "The culinary skills of the chef competition are not nicknames."

What's so great about Saibei Crazy Saber!
