After the gourmet up dressed as a spoiled man

After Zhou Mingting drank two pots of tea, Lin Shiyou brought a plate of dim sum from the back kitchen.

"Brother Yu is researching new tricks again?"

He picked up a piece of pastry with red bean filling, tasted it, and couldn't stop boasting that Lin Shiyou knew that his friend was talking endlessly and kept nodding along with him, until he heard Zhou Mingting mentioning Sun An, his eyelids trembled for a moment.

"He went looking for you again?" Lin Shiyou asked suspiciously, "He came once on the day the shop opened, and left after a few words of greeting. I never saw him again."

Zhou Mingting wiped the crumbs from the corner of his mouth, curled his lips: "More than once, these days, he either came to my house to look for me or met me on the road. I can see him next door when I go to a teahouse. Do you think this kid is in the house?" Follow me?"

Lin Shi became serious. When Sun An was with them in the past, although he was not as cheerful and talkative as Zhou Mingting, he also liked to talk, but he always said it to Lin Shiyou. He just nodded in agreement with Zhou Mingting's words, and privately I haven't even visited the mansion.

Zhou Mingting also said in the letter that since he left Beijing, Sun An didn't say hello when he saw him. Why did he suddenly deliberately approach him these days?

"What did he ask you for? Have you asked about anything?"

"Old Lin, you are really good at predicting things. You are the one he inquired about." Zhou Mingting leaned on the chair carelessly, and said word by word: "At first he didn't tell the truth, and I didn't bother to talk to him. Later, I saw my attitude. I just asked some questions about you in a perfunctory manner, saying what you are busy with recently, do you have any idea of ​​getting fame, did you go to the government to inquire about raising people's fame, and did anyone from the government come to you. "

"Lin always asked a lot of things. I asked him why he didn't come to ask you in person. He said he was afraid that you would be busy in the shop and dare not disturb you."

"Old Lin, what do you think?"

Zhou Mingting babbled, Lin Shiyou frowned after hearing this, and stared at the steaming teacup, wondering what he was thinking about. Sun An might have heard some rumors and was eager to test his attitude, but he didn't dare to ask in person I had no choice but to go to Zhou Mingting for side-talking.

Lin Shiyou was thoughtful, "His uncle is an official in the Ministry of Rites, and he will definitely tell him any news, but he only came to ask me if there was something wrong with my fame. Is the fame going to be revoked?"

"No way, you didn't see his cautious look, as if he couldn't reveal any information." Zhou Mingting squinted his eyes and recalled Sun An's attitude, "And his tone obviously couldn't hide it. Worrying, it doesn't seem like you are going to have an accident, but it seems that he is about to face a catastrophe."

Zhou Mingting recalled the last time he saw Sun An in the corner of the tea house. A young man who looked like a scholar was sitting opposite him.

I heard that he passed the examination of scholar a few years ago but failed many times. The family only hoped that he could become an official, but he couldn't bear the money and had no connections. Now that he and Sun An are together, what can they do?Is it through him?

After he finished speaking, he drank a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and saw Lin Shiyou's eyes were stern and staring ahead. His pair of deep eyes were like a bottomless pool of water.

Zhou Mingting glanced at his friend's face, gently pushed his arm and asked curiously, "Old Lin, did you think of something?"

Lin Shiyou was pulled back to his senses by his voice, and thought for a moment, "You said that the son of the Zhang family fell in love with Sun An, but Sun An is just a young master who has no worries about food and clothing. He has no right in his hands. Everything depends on him." Relying on his uncle, the Ministry of Rites is in charge of the student assessment, if they want to do something in it, maybe they can do it without anyone noticing, it depends on whether anyone suspects and exposes it."

"You mean that Sun An is so anxious these days because he is afraid of being exposed? Could it be that he has done something wrong?" Zhou Mingting also thought of this. He looked at his friend and suddenly thought, "Then your reputation is not abolished and no one will touch it." , Is it their fault? Do you want to use an impostor?"

"Find someone to replace your fame and spend money to open up relationships and arrange a small official?"

The more he guessed, the bolder he became, his eyes were slightly dazed, and he couldn't believe it.

Lin Shiyou looked at him lightly, and there was a child-teachable gratification in his eyes.

"Huh? This?"

Zhou Mingting leaned over in a low voice, "They really dare to do this? But isn't your fame still left there?"

"I guess it's not easy to operate, and it also needs an opportunity. Since Sun An is inquiring about me, it means that these days are not peaceful. Someone found out here, so he is worried."

Lin Shiyou had a bold guess in his heart that his fame was the reason. If someone really paid for fame, then someone would pay for an official position. He thought of the fourth uncle's family, maybe the exile of the Lin family had something to do with these things!

"Didn't you say that my uncle's position was replaced by a young man, what's his name?"

Zhou Mingting scratched his head, leaned back and looked at the roof, thought for a while, then patted the table and said: "I remembered, his name is Zheng Mingyang, and his family is also in business, oh yes! He also knows Sun An, Sun An did not?" The time I greeted him was with him, drinking and talking and laughing at the same table!"

This can be regarded as linking all the news that they have inquired into. These things seem to point to one thing in the dark, that is, some officials are manipulating the scientific examination to buy officials.

Zhou Mingting fell silent for a moment, and looked around. People were all eating hot pot intently, and the guys were busy coming and going, but no one paid attention to their conversation.

He breathed a sigh of relief slowly, "Old Lin, this is just our guess, there is no proof yet, don't be impulsive!"

Lin Shi responded with a chuckle, "You still don't understand me? Since when did I do something impulsive, since Sun An was in a hurry, it means that someone has found out about them, and now they want to Bao was also worried that someone would stab him in the back, so he might be so busy!"

Zhou Mingting saw that the expression on Lin Shiyou's face did not seem to be fake, so he nodded, and the anxiety in his eyes dissipated, and he told him, "If you have anything to discuss with me, I will go and inquire about it for you. If Sun An comes looking for you, you can handle it too."

Lin Shiyou: "I understand, don't worry."

The two chatted for a while, Zhou Mingting kept talking, saying that he would eat for a while when he was tired, Li Yu brought him a few snacks, and ate up all of them.

After eating and drinking, Zhou Mingting left at noon, taking a few more packs of pastries.

In the evening, after finishing the accounting, Lin put the 30 taels of silver into the box, and Li Yu made a list of ingredients needed for tomorrow, and handed it over to Zhang Meng.

Back at the Lin residence at night, Lin Shiyou told Li Yu what he had said to Zhou Mingting during the day.

Li Yu took a bath and sat on the low bed next to the bed to write recipes. He wrote out the draft first, and Lin Shiyou was in charge of copying it. During these days, he thought of many new dishes, and some of them had already been cooked in the shop. Yes, received unanimous praise.

Boss Qian also sent several letters asking him to start preparing for the next cookbook, and if it goes well, he will produce a few more.

Especially with the name of the shop, it is easy to publicize. Now that more than half of it has been accumulated, another book will be published when there is enough quantity.

Ever since they opened their shop in the capital, it has become even more difficult to find a book of recipes. All major bookstores are out of stock. If you want to buy a recipe, you have to pay a deposit in advance. Unexpectedly, the boss here is also very good at hunger marketing!

But it has nothing to do with Li Yu, he is only responsible for the cash register. The first cookbook earned 350 taels just by delivering it to the couple. The next cookbook needs to be carefully prepared.

He wrote the last word, put the brush on the table, and asked, "Your husband, do you mean to suspect that someone is doing illegal things behind the scenes?"

Lin Shiyou took the manuscript and spread it on the table before reaching out and hugging Li Yu back to the bed, "We are also guessing, but looking at Sun An's recent actions is arousing suspicion, let's wait and see if he will show his little smile on his own. Tail."

"If he has a guilty conscience, he will come to you sooner or later, and he can only rest assured after asking in person."

Li Yu thought of this instantly. It is always unreliable to inquire with others, so it is better to try it yourself.

He turned over and got into the quilt. The quilt was prepared by Zhou Mingting. The best material was soft and comfortable to stick to his body. The house was burning with earth dragons. Lin Shiyou hugged him every day, and Li Yu felt warm , For the first time, I had the idea that winter is not difficult to endure!

Lin Shiyou was still talking in his ear, and he patted Li Yu's back with his big hands, moving gently like putting a child to sleep.

After a while, Li Yu's voice that cooperated with him gradually lowered. When he looked down, the person in his arms had already closed his eyes.

He brushed away the hair from Li Yu's cheeks, revealing his smooth and fair forehead, stared at his eyelashes, and couldn't help thinking in his heart, Xiao Yu was sleepy after taking a bath at night recently, and fell asleep after lying down for a while. When I am free in the shop, I want to take a nap, and I often yawn when I am cooking, as if I can't wake up.

Lin Shiyou thought about it and began to reflect. He didn't torment Xiaoyu uncontrollably recently. He even let him sleep for an extra hour in the morning. Could it be that he was sick?

Li Yu didn't go to the store until noon the next day. After lunch, he went to the back room to catch up on sleep. When Lin Shiyou asked about it, Li Yu waved his hand indifferently and patted him on the shoulder to ensure that he was in good health. It was only winter. People tend to get tired easily, but it's more obvious to him, just sleep a little longer and he'll be fine.

Lin Shiyou worriedly wanted to take him to see a doctor, but Li Yu acted coquettishly and refused to go, and finally fell asleep tired after tossing for a long time.

It seems that I have to find a reliable doctor to come to the house to take a look.

After sleeping until the afternoon, Li Yu's stomach growled. Not only was he able to sleep recently, but he also had a big appetite. He touched his face and measured his waist, comforting himself that nothing had changed before rubbing his eyes and going to the kitchen to find something to eat.

Brother Dong was drinking tea, patted his face while drinking, and looked extremely sleepy, Li Yu approached him with a chuckle, "What's the matter, go to sleep for a while if you're sleepy."

Brother Dong blushed when he heard him ask such a question, and said dodgingly, "I'm not sleepy, I just want to drink tea."

Brother Dong can't lie, he always looks like this when he tells lies, Li Yu raised the corner of his mouth and leaned next to him and asked softly: "What's the matter? I can see that your eyes are turning blue, you haven't had a good rest recently ?”

He touched his eyes subconsciously, "Really? Brother Yu, does my face look ugly?"

Brother Dong's voice was urgent, and Li Yu also looked at it carefully for a while. His skin was fair, his big eyes were round at the moment, the tip of his nose was straight and his lips were ruddy. It looks like he didn't sleep well at night.

Brother Dong was relieved to hear him say that, and muttered, "It's all Liu Jingtai's fault!"

"Huh? What's the matter with him?"

The air was suddenly quiet for a moment, and the two looked at each other, and they both saw shame in each other's eyes. Li Yu understood in his heart that it must be Liu Jingtai who tossed Brother Dong at night and couldn't sleep well during the day to be so sleepy.

Li Yuqing coughed, then thought about it but why is she still so confused after sleeping well!

Brother Dong was silent for a long while and changed the subject, "My father will go to the capital tomorrow, and he brought a few baskets of wild vegetables. Mr. Zheng, who often comes to eat, is good at this. It's no problem to sell him a basket this time."

"Brother Dong, you reminded me that we still know Mr. Zheng!"
