One day, Su Luo transmigrated and became the mother of two children. Not only was she mentally deficient, but she was also a widow. The family was destitute, living in an abandoned tile kiln by the...
"Madam, your two children are so adorable, would you like to change them into new clothes and wear them out?" the shop owner's wife asked.
Actually, Yan Chuan and Yi Huan were wearing clothes that Su Luo had bought for them last time. They weren't old, but since I was wearing new clothes myself, I decided to let them change into them so they could have a good time.
"OK!"
Su Luo looked at the two of them: "Chuan Chuan and Huan Huan, shall I help you change into your new clothes?"
The two shook their heads and said at the same time, "We can change it ourselves."
I bought twenty catties of rice at the rice shop. The chives in the field have also sprouted. I'll buy some flour to take home and make dumplings later.
After a morning of strolling around, the two little ones were quite happy. Su Luo stopped in front of a restaurant, not because of how luxurious it was, but because of the notice posted at the entrance.
The sign read: "Seeking culinary recipes from around the world at a high price!"
The requirements are that the dishes must be fresh, and that they must be visually appealing, fragrant, and delicious; none of these qualities can be lacking.
Then look at the restaurant's name, "Fu Man Lou," it's a good name.
Su Luo has been researching food for ten years. While others in the apocalypse were drinking nutrient solutions, she had her own space to replenish her supplies. She could grow whatever she wanted to eat in her space, so she has quite a bit of experience.
"Chuan Chuan, Huan Huan, today at noon, Mom will take you to eat at the biggest restaurant in Yongle County."
Yan Chuan and Yi Huan didn't know how much money it would cost to eat at a restaurant, but looking around, the food here looked delicious.
Upon entering Fumanlou, the waiter immediately greeted us, "Please come in, sir. Would you prefer a private room or to dine in the main hall?"
Su Luo looked at the corner seat and said, "Let's eat here."
"Alright!"
The waiter pointed to the dishes on the counter and asked Su Luo, "What would you like to eat, sir?"
Looking at the menu, Su Luo asked the waiter, "What are the best dishes in your restaurant?"
The waiter smiled and said, "Sir, our dishes are the best in Yongle County and even in several nearby counties and prefectures. But if this is your first time here, I can recommend a few dishes to you."
"Thank you, please..."
The waiter slung a dishcloth over his shoulder and began, "Koi in the Embrace is our signature dish. Since you have a child with you, we would also like to order He Xian Steamed Pork, Longjing Shrimp, and Thousand-Layer Chicken Soup..."
The waiter was very good at recommending dishes based on the situation, so Su Luo ordered the dishes he suggested.
If she wants to sell recipes, she needs to first see what the dishes are like here, so that she can negotiate the price of her own dishes.
Anyway, the notice didn't specify how much money to buy a recipe, so the restaurant owner must have thought of that and priced it according to the taste.
When the dishes were served, Su Luo realized that the names were names, and the dishes were dishes.
The koi in my arms is just steamed carp, pale in color, and with a strong fishy smell after one bite.
Lotus leaf steamed pork is simply pork meatballs steamed in lotus leaves, nothing special.
There were also shrimp and chicken soup, which were barely palatable.
It seems she has another way to make money, and she needs to think carefully about how to maximize this business opportunity.
"Mom, this dish isn't as good as yours."
"Little sister, you're not allowed to be picky about food."
Yi Huan has become quite picky about the food Su Luo has been cooking lately.
Even if Yan Chuan doesn't like it, he won't waste food.
Su Luo: "It really doesn't taste good."
Upon hearing Su Luo's words, the manager of Fu Man Lou immediately became displeased.
When it came time to pay the bill, the shopkeeper said to Su Luo, "Four dishes, twenty taels!"
Twenty taels? This dish is so awful, yet it costs only five taels. I don't know what the people who come here to eat are thinking. Do they have too much money to spend?
Su Luo didn't pay immediately, but instead politely asked the innkeeper, "Does the recruitment notice for the dishes at the entrance of your restaurant still stand?"
The innkeeper saw that Su Luo had finished her meal without paying and then complained that the food was bad; it was obvious she was trying to dine and dash.
Don't they know whose territory Fumanlou is? Even if the county magistrate came, he would have to behave himself.
"Sure, write down the recipe and our kitchen will make it. If it's excellent, it will naturally be included in our Fu Man Lou menu."
There are plenty of people selling vegetable recipes at Laifu Manlou, all sorts of random and common dishes. If the owner didn't dislike the food from Yongle County, why would he put up this notice?
Su Luo sneered: "I'll write down the recipe for you, and you'll make it? If you can't do it well, does that mean I'll leave and you'll leave the recipe behind?"
Hmph! Does Fumanlou think people are idiots? They even write out prescriptions for them, trying to get someone else's prescriptions for free. How are they any different from Mingqiang?
"How dare you speak like that! Pay up and get out of here. Fu Man Lou doesn't welcome you."
Yan Chuan and Yi Huan stood beside Su Luo, and they couldn't believe that the shopkeeper didn't seem like a good person.
Su Luo stood in front of the two children and coldly said to the shopkeeper, "Is this how Fumanlou treats its customers?"
The shopkeeper was not to be outdone. He glanced at the thugs behind him, and two of them suddenly surrounded Su Luo.
The innkeeper sneered, "Only those who pay for their meals are customers. Anyone who tries to dine and dash will be beaten to death."
When Ah Xu went downstairs to get pastries for Nangong Qing, he happened to see this scene. When he saw that the person with the child was Su Luo, he gripped his sword tightly and came over, asking, "What happened?"
When the two thugs saw that it was Ah Xu coming down, they quickly left.
The shopkeeper's attitude towards Ah Xu was a complete reversal. He smiled and said, "Oh, it's Ah Xu in charge. There's nothing wrong here. It's just a woman who wanted to dine and dash. We can handle it."
Want to dine and dash? Su Luo?
Ah Xu had witnessed Su Luo kill someone, leaving no trace of the body. How could someone like her dine and dash? This woman was someone the young master wanted to investigate. This innkeeper almost ruined the young master's important plans.
Su Luo despised this kind of person the most, who bullied others by relying on his power. She threw twenty taels of silver on the counter with her right hand, her eyes full of contempt.
"You despicable person!"
The shopkeeper was taken aback when he saw the twenty taels of silver. He knew he could deal with people he disliked, even if they had money, but now they were in front of Ah Xu...
He was just accusing someone of dining and dashing, and now that person has immediately produced the money, isn't that a slap in the face?
"You're judging people by their appearance!" Su Luo's voice was cold and clear.
Her voice wasn't loud, but it resonated deep within Ah Xu's heart. He knew from the bottom of his heart that Su Luo was not someone to be trifled with.
Before the shopkeeper could even get his hands on Su Luo's one hundred tael silver note, Ah Xu snatched it away and handed it back to Su Luo with both hands.
"Madam, since you had an unpleasant meal at our shop, we'll waive the bill and you can take the money back."
"Ah Xu, you..."
When the shopkeeper saw Ah Xu doing this, he wanted to stop him, but he held back the words he was about to say.
"Are you in charge here?"
Judging from the manager's attitude towards Ah Xu, this person must hold a significant position in Fu Man Lou.
"No, my young master is the owner of this restaurant."
Su Luo placed the silver back in front of the shopkeeper and said, "I will pay the amount I owe, but remove the deceptive notice at your door to prevent others from being cheated."
