Li Yu was dressed in light blue clothes, his black hair was tied up with a corner cloth scarf, his eyebrows were slender, his nose bridge was straight, his skin was soft and delicate, and anyone could see him as a gentle-looking guy, but at this moment his black eyes swept away. , Chen Liang on the opposite side was too frightened by the cold look in his eyes to dare to refute, he took a step back and shook his lips, unable to utter a word.

"What? I have nothing to say?" Li Yu glanced at him sarcastically, and raised the corner of his mouth, "So you admit it? You paid 30 taels of silver to murder me, so that your brother can become the winner without any effort. You This is a good abacus! You are famous and have made money, if something happens to me, why don’t you think that the money will be hot to your hands, and you are not afraid of someone knocking on the door at night?"

Li Yu's slightly narrowed eyes exuded a cold and sharp cold light, every word he said was like someone holding a small hammer "da da da" to the hearts of the two brothers, and their hearts couldn't stop trembling.

Chen Liang pretended to be calm and was able to deal with it, but Chen Ming felt as if a gust of cold wind swept over him just by looking at it, his heart was chilled instantly, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly formed on his back. He swallowed dryly and whispered: "We made a mistake. , you shouldn’t be distracted.”

"you!"

Chen Liang suddenly turned around and looked at his younger brother, "The guy who didn't do enough, but failed!"

If the two of them gritted their teeth and refused to admit it, they could still deal with the people in the yamen for a while. They didn't expect Chen Ming to be so unconvinced that he was scared to death by a brother's few words.

Now that Chen Ming has admitted it, the evidence is complete, and if he did something wrong, he must bear the consequences. Ding Butou directly hooked his hands, and the policeman quickly arrested the two of them and was about to take them back to the Yamen for trial.

Member Liu took Ding Tuotou aside and explained a few words, Ding Tuotou grinned and said, "Don't worry, Brother Liu, these two guys will definitely be arranged in prison."

"Thank you so much, I'll treat Brother Ding to a drink some other day."

The two men and the two brothers were taken away, everyone opened their mouths wide before reacting, and couldn't help but sigh, so many things happened in the first culinary competition held in the county, maybe the date was chosen wrong!I'm afraid it's not Feng Shui!

I thought that the first two rounds would be some oolongs at most, but I didn't expect that in the finals, there would be evil things like buying murderers.Fortunately, the grievance has its culprit, the debt has its owner, and the two men identified it, otherwise how could we find evidence with this little brother!But this brother Yu is quite fierce, Chen Liang was so scared that he couldn't speak without looking at it just now.

People immediately looked at Li Yu with more sympathy than admiration.

Li Yu didn't care what everyone thought of him, the two brothers deserved what they did, but luckily the people in the carriage were fine today.

In case Liu Yuanwai and Brother Dong were also injured, wouldn't he be able to absolve himself of the blame? How could he and Mr. Xiang feel at ease!

The excitement ended like this, and people turned their attention to the awards. This time, the Yamen also participated in the competition. The master came forward to read the encouragement letter written by the county master, and personally awarded Li Yu a prize of 100 taels of silver.

Li Yu adjusted his expression, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, like everyone bowed and thanked, and then stepped off the stage.

The owners of several restaurants wanted to chat with him, and asked their own cooks to teach them about cooking. Li Yu thought about Lin Shi's hasty response and left quickly.

Lin Shiyou and Brother Dong were standing next to the carriage. When they saw Li Yu coming over, they immediately stretched out their uninjured hands to embrace him. He kissed Li Yu's forehead, "Xiao Yu is so powerful, you look like a murderer just now. Even more powerful!"

Li Yu was still shy at first, but after carefully savoring his words, it was obvious that he was teasing himself again. He laughed silently, and urged: "Sir, don't make fun of me, the wound doesn't hurt anymore? Let's go to the clinic!"

Lin Shiyou put his arms around his shoulders, looked at him with deep and hot eyes, "I listen to Xiaoyu."

Feeling relaxed after the match, Li Yu put the money into a small bag, and the 100 taels really made a difference, it was heavy to carry.

Brother Dong was even more happy for him, "Brother Yu is really a blessed person. In the morning, you said that the left eye would make money and the right eye would cause disaster. You were right, but now it's a safe bet. !"

After hearing him mentioning Li Yu, he recalled the nonsense he had said in the morning. He was fine, but Xianggong blocked him, and he couldn't help sighing: "Brother Dong is right, you can't talk nonsense in the future!"

Seeing his expression, several people smiled happily. Lin Shiyou leaned on the soft cushion and rubbed Li Yu's hand lightly. Seeing his eyes sparkling and clear like spring water in a pool, he immediately felt much better. , secretly sighed and relieved.

When we arrived at the clinic, the staff invited Master to treat Lin Shiyou's injuries. The man who came was a young man. When he saw Mr. Liu, he bowed politely and said, "Why are you here, please sit down!"

Lin Shiyou and Li Yu glanced at each other, and then glanced at the plaque of the medical clinic. Their eyes revealed the same thought. Could it be that this medical clinic is also owned by Yuanwai Liu's family?

"Brother Lu, you're welcome. My friend's arm is injured, please show him." Mr. Liu just exchanged some greetings, and when he turned around, he saw several people looking at him with the same curious eyes, and couldn't help touching his face, " What's wrong with you, is there something on my face?"

Nothing, just lamenting how much property the rich have!

The doctor ordered the clerk to take the medicine box, and looked at the wound while untying the gauze. After a long while, he explained seriously: "The wound is not deep, and it was bandaged in time. The blood has already coagulated. Change the dressing once a day, and apply some more wound medicine in half a month. get well."

Li Yu nodded and made a note of it. The wound was on his forearm, and it would definitely hurt if he used force. He didn't need to do heavy work at ordinary times, so he could burn the bath water by himself in the future!

Lin Shi could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his appearance, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, his heart throbbed suddenly, although this injury was nothing, it really frightened Xiao Yu, so he had to coax him well when he went back at night.

A few people returned to Lutai Town without staying in the county. The shop was not open, and Brother Dong also went home to rest.

Lin Shiyou said: "Xiaoyu, don't let my parents see my wounds, don't let them worry."

"I know, I won't let you work in the future." Li Yu leaned on the table with his chin propped up and looked up at him, with undisguised distress in his eyes.

"Don't worry, it's really fine." Lin Shiyou raised the corner of his mouth, "Our family doesn't have any heavy work, so we don't delay housework."

"Who said that there is no need to burn the bath water tonight, and I will wash the dirty clothes."

Lin Shi nodded, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, slowly leaning forward to get closer to his ear, with deep eyes that made people hold his breath, but his voice was low and hoarse, "Will you take a bath for me tonight? "

He watched with great interest as Li Yu's face gradually turned crimson, his eyes flickered, with a little confusion, he replied vaguely, "Listen to Mr.

Li Yu couldn't help teasing, the roots of his ears felt a little hot, Lin Shiyou's hand touched his fingertips, with a numb itching, Lin Shiyou's throat rolled, and a moist hot spot was printed on the side of his face holding him. kiss.

Some of Lin Shi's wounds could not be wetted with water, but he was reluctant to let Li Yu do the work of burning fire and carrying water, so naturally he would not rest if he could help.

After being raised in the village for two days, Li Yu planned to go to the shop in the town to settle the accounts for these days, and won another 100 taels in the competition, which should be quite a lot.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the shop, he saw a group of people pointing at the plaque in front of the door. They were all unfamiliar faces. Li Yu was worried that it might be the brothers from the county who came out to cause trouble!

When I got closer, I saw that people were discussing why the shop was not open, "They said it was this shop, why it has been closed for two days! I also rushed to nothing yesterday!"

"I just came today. I heard from people in Lutai Town that they won't be able to buy it after noon, so I came here early!"

"I just want to eat the barbecue that day's game, it smells so good!"

Lin Shiyou chuckled, it turned out that he wasn't looking for trouble, but food.

Li Yu stepped forward and said politely: "The big guys are all from the county seat. We rested for two days, and the shop will only open tomorrow. Let's join us tomorrow if you want to eat anything!"

"Can we make barbecue, we all want to eat it!"

A woman pointed to the child and said with a smile: "My child smelled the fragrance that day and went home and talked about it. We have come twice, so we are looking forward to the shopkeeper's arrival!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I want to eat barbecue. I heard from the people in the town that there are many new tricks in the store. We have never tried it after hearing the name!"

Li Yu secretly sighed that no one could refuse a barbecue, so I will make this tomorrow!

Seeing that the shopkeeper agreed, all the people got into the carriage and went back to the city. The rich and the rich can run so far just because of stuttering!

Lin Shiyou took out the money box to settle the accounts, "If there are more people from the county, then our daily income will be increased."

He flicked the abacus with his fingers, "Since the opening of our shop, we have earned a total of 140 taels, plus 100 taels from the King of Chef competition and 50 taels from gambling, a total of 290 taels. Before that, we earned 40 taels in the village. Now we have There are already 300 taels of silver."

"So much money!" Li Yu seemed to be in disbelief. Every day he heard from the gentleman that the income was more than three liang and the cost was less than one liang. A handful!

Of course, it's far worse than Yuanwai Liu...

Seeing his excited appearance, Lin Shiyou wanted to count the money on the spot, so he raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Before I heard that your money was exchanged into bank notes, let's go home and count."

Li Yu was satisfied when Lin Shiyou was happy, and seeing Xiao Yu's lively face, he was also very happy in his heart.

The two were talking about money when a loud voice sounded from the shop door, "Brother Lin, I have a big deal!"

"Brother Qian, come and have some tea." Lin Shiyou and his wife turned around and saw Boss Qian entering the door panting, with a hearty smile on his face.

Boss Qian had a cup of tea and coughed a few times before excitedly saying, "Brother Lin, do you know that Brother Yu has become famous in the county after winning the game. In the past two days, everyone said that there is a brother in Lutai Town. Just sell new food, there are no other places, many people have asked about it, you are going to make a fortune! I have an idea, I didn’t give you a cookbook a while ago, to tell you the truth, it’s just this book I earned that amount!"

While talking, he stretched out his palm and spread his five fingers pretending to be mysterious. Li Yu pondered for a while and asked tentatively, "You made 50 taels?"

"Oh, how can I!" Boss Qian curled his lips and raised his chin with a look of satisfaction visible to the naked eye. "It's not worth showing off to you for making such a small amount of money. It's 500 taels! My book has already been sold in the capital."

Li Yu opened his mouth slightly, and looked at Lin Shiyou in tacit understanding. He didn't expect a recipe to make so much money!

He still had this idea that day. He taught Brother Dong almost as much as usual, and Brother Dong wrote down the recipes of many dishes carefully. Wouldn't he be able to publish the book if he had the opportunity?

Lin Shiyou sighed and said: "Boss Qian really knows how to do business, and he has a keen eye for knowledge. I don't know why Brother Qian came to see us?"

"Brother Lin, don't pretend to be confused with me!" Boss Qian chuckled, "I'm here just for brother Yu's recipes, write down all the new dishes you cook on weekdays and give them to me. I'll publish a book for you, let's also come up with a cookbook, it's sure to be a hit, and you can earn 500 taels just with this freshness!"

He said with certainty that the regular cookbook could be sold out that day, let alone Li Yu's tricks!

Moreover, Li Yu has just won the title of King of Chefs, and it is the time when the popularity is at its peak. Taking advantage of this time will definitely make a lot of money, and it will make them more famous. By then, the money will also come and the fame will be gained. Isn't it a win-win!

"Brother Lin, you two, think about it carefully, is this the truth?"

Boss Qian is worthy of being a businessman, he said the key in just a few words, who would have trouble with Qian, even if many people posted the recipes, they might not be able to make the taste of Li Yu's dishes, the business would not be affected, and there would be a steady stream of energy To make money for books, he expected that anyone with a good mind would agree, let alone Li Yu and Lin Shiyou, a shrewd couple.

It just so happened that Li Yu also had the same intention, and he could get an extra sum of money without any effort, but he didn't know how Boss Qian divided it.

Lin Shiyou also had this concern. When Boss Qian came to them, he was naturally entrusting him with the publishing rights. If it was assigned to someone else, how would the profit and share be calculated?

Boss Qian glanced at them, and the two were silent for a long while. He immediately knew what these two smart people were planning, "Don't worry, since it's in my hands, I'll remember every single stroke. The study room is full of account books, and I can find out where each batch of books went and how much they sold, and I can check everything, and I can’t miss a penny from you! I can guarantee this, after all, I also want to make money!"

Boss Qian is indeed a straightforward person. He doesn't beat around the bush when he speaks, and Lin Shiyou doesn't hold back anymore. He said directly: "Since Brother Qian has spoken, then we agree. Let's talk about the split!"

Lin Shiyou knew that these booksellers had their own ways and rules, and most of the scholars who wrote books were divided into [-] or [-] cents, and many profiteers directly bought them out with more money, and all the money they earned in the future went to him. wallet.

"I said earlier that I love to deal with smart people like Brother Lin. Since I call you brother, I have to take care of you. Let's buy it now, [-] to [-] percent. How about I six and you four?" Boss Qian asked. Slapping the table to make the decision, "You can go and inquire. There are no such high prices in the nearby counties. I'm the one who likes you, and I have a unique sense of smell. Brother Yu's book will definitely be a hit! At that time, money will rush into our wallets!"

His rhetoric successfully made Li Yu laugh out loud. He dreamed of getting rich before he even started selling books. Boss Qian was really interesting, but the price was really high, and they had no reason to refuse.

Lin Shiyou cupped his hands and replied: "Thank you, Brother Qian. We have expressed our love as husband and wife. Do you have any other requests? Brother Qian, let's talk about it together."

Boss Qian was grinning from ear to ear. He had long wanted to find Li Yu to publish a book, just in time for the cooking competition to be held in the county town. Isn't this the most appropriate opportunity for publicity?

He confessed some more things, and finally decided to collect the manuscript within seven days. Unlike the novels written by literati, the recipes need to be reviewed and revised. As long as the contents of the dishes are okay, they can be published.

Once the contract is made and both parties have signed their fingerprints, the deal is considered complete.

"Brother Lin, I would like to congratulate you first, just wait, we two brothers will definitely make a fortune by working together!"

"Lend your blessings."

Boss Qian squinted his eyes with a smile, and after talking so much, he lost his mouth and left after drinking another cup of tea. He was in a hurry to contact the printing people.

Li Yu breathed out a sigh of relief, he didn't expect to meet two good things when he came to the town today.

"Sanggong, you said we are really lucky, and we met noble people." Li Yu's eyes were crooked with a smile, and he couldn't help but enjoy that he was able to publish a book. It would be even better if he became popular, and more people Knowing the practice of these delicacies can be considered as popularized in ancient times.

"Xiao Yu is the lucky star of our family." Lin Shiyou stretched out his hand to touch the top of his smooth hair, it felt silky to the touch, stroked his palm a few times, and couldn't help touching Li Yu's ear again, the earlobe was soft like white jade Delicate, Li Yu felt itchy and moved dishonestly, being bound by Lin Shiyou and unable to move.

Li Yu was about to quarrel with him for a while, when he heard a painful cry from the top of his head, he suddenly remembered that Xianggong's arm was still injured, so he obediently lay in his arms and let him move, Lin Shiyou collapsed where he couldn't see The corners of his mouth were pursed to hide the smile on his lips, and the other hand kept moving, stirring fire on Li Yu's body, until Li Yu couldn't stand it and murmured for him to stop.

In the evening, Lin Shiyou confessed that Zhang Meng would deliver food as usual tomorrow, and that he would go to the store earlier to skewer together, planning to double the amount than usual.

Early the next morning, Brother Dong came, bringing with him a basket of wild vegetables that Father Shen dug when he went up the mountain to pick up wood, Li Yu felt surprised.

Winter is coming soon, and there are wild vegetables on the mountain?

Brother Dong smiled and explained, "This is unique to our Lutai Mountain. It only grows in the season when winter is approaching. If you find one on the mountain, you can dig a large area. When I was young, my father often dug this vegetable. There is nothing else in winter. For food, just eat the vegetable dumplings or porridge made with this, it is more fragrant than ordinary wild vegetables, and many rich people even buy this specially!"

Zhang Meng scratched his head and answered, "I also eat it often. I can dig a basket and prepare it for the winter. It can also be pickled into small pickles. Brother Dong reminded me that Li Qing and I have to go after work." Went to the mountain to dig a few boxes of wild vegetables and saved them."

Li Yu picked up a wild vegetable and looked at it, and tried making some vegetable dumplings another day.

A few people worked together for an hour, and it was over. It was still early, and there was already a lot of noise outside the shop. People in the town were also waiting for the shop to open, and they all came early to wait.

Seeing the shopkeeper approaching, several regular customers congratulated, "Brother Yu is really good, and he can win the cooking competition in the county!"

"That's right, Lutai Town has won glory! The first chef king title was taken away by people in our town!"

"My relatives in the county are asking me about it, and they all come to visit Li Linji. Boss, I will give you a lot of publicity!"

"And I heard that the opponent played dirty tricks during the game, but you deserve it if you lose!"

"We came from the county seat, and finally waited until the shop opened!"

Several people were chatting lively, and Li Yu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he heard it for a while, "Thank you guys for your support, and there are also many guests from the county town, today I bought barbecue and sent sour plum soup, the barbecue is enough!"

"The boss is so generous, then I have to eat more!"

Before noon, there were three long queues in front of the gate, so Li Yu didn't wait any longer, and directly set up a shelf to start grilling. Brother Dong was helping at the side, and the two of them could grill together.

People from the county had never seen this posture before, and they all looked out curiously. After a while, the fragrant meat skewers were grilled, and there were also various vegetable skewers, which tasted unique when brushed with secret sauces. You can smell the meat.

Several people have already stretched their necks and waited, and there is a free drink, which tastes clear and refreshing. I heard that it is made of medicinal materials, but it is not astringent at all. After a sip, it only feels sweet and fragrant. It is delicious when paired with barbecue Soothing and comfortable.

Most of the people sitting in the room are guests from the county seat, and people at several tables boasted while eating, "It's so delicious! I haven't eaten it before!"

"We are really in the right place, we will try something else another day!"

A woman asked Li Yu with a lively smile, "Shopkeeper, how do you cook these dishes, can you teach me?"

"What the hell, you still want to learn from a teacher!" The man next to him rolled a string in one bite, threw the stick and interrupted in a rough voice, "All the dishes made by other chefs have secret recipes, and they will not be passed on. If others learn What if we want to grab business!"

Li Yu shook his head, it's not that exaggerated, everyone loves delicious food, and if everyone knows how to cook it, everyone will have a good time.

Boss Qian has already decided on the publication of the book. They were sorting out the manuscript yesterday. Brother Dong and Xianggong are helping to transcribe it. The recipe will be published soon.

Thinking of this, Li Yu first explained to everyone, "Don't worry, I've written down the recipes for these fancy dishes, and I'll publish a book in a few days, and when I buy the recipes, everyone will cook them at home!"

The people in the town were shocked and said: "Brother Yu is going to publish a book! Oh, why are the couple so smart, and they have figured out a way to make money again!"

After he finished speaking, a burst of laughter broke out in the crowd, anyone who knows how to do business can make money at any time.

The shop is really hot today, with twice as many customers as usual. All the ingredients they prepared are sold out. From time to time, people from the county drive a carriage to eat, and some who come late only buy the last bowl of sour plum soup. Unfortunately, they drive back. .

Lin Shiyou went to the academy in the afternoon, and Li Yu and Brother Dong rubbed each other's shoulders. The only disadvantage of having too many guests was that they had to stand all the time grilling skewers. After a long time, they really ached all over.

In Yipin Academy, the old dean first congratulated Brother Yu for winning the championship, and then explained a few words about the manuscript. When he heard that Li Yu was going to publish a recipe, he nodded in relief, "You husband and wife really have ideas, Boss Qian is reliable , what he does will surely be accomplished.”

After speaking, he remembered something and whispered: "Come with me to the study, the capital has replied."

The author says:

Brother Yu: "I'm also a millionaire!"

Lin Shiyou: "Compared to Yuanwai Liu?"

Brother Yu: "Why don't we compare with Brother Dong, Zhang Meng and Li Qing..."

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
