Yun Yuan deliberately wanted to compete with me, as if she would be happy if I was unhappy.

She often followed me, made sarcastic remarks to me, and even climbed a ladder to peek into my house, coveting my braised pork recipe.

I was very careful and ground the powder into fine powder. Not only Yun Yuan couldn't tell what recipe I used, but even other restaurants couldn't tell.

There are not many kinds of spices that are commonly used nowadays. Most of the spices I use are bought from pharmacies. I was very careful when buying them. I went to several pharmacies to buy them all. I also added other medicines to confuse them so that they could not crack them in a short time.

I was making money every day, and my living standard was getting better and better. I renovated my house and bought a shop. At that time, the shop owner's son owed a lot of money, and the gambling house said that if he didn't pay back the money, he would chop off his son's hands, which was a good deal for me.

I feel like even the heavens are helping me. When I work hard enough, the whole world gives in to me.

The shop is next to the academy. It is quite small and not suitable for living. I go out early and come back late every day.

At noon, Ji Shen will bring people to the restaurant for lunch. I have allocated a private room for him so that he can dine at any time.

The braised meat I sell is unique in Qingcheng. Many people are jealous of me. I am afraid of being coerced, so I thought of Ergouzi. Although he is an uneducated gangster, he is physically strong and knows martial arts. In addition to protecting me, he can also do odd jobs in the store, picking up dishes and chopsticks.

I pay him well and he listens to me most of the time.

Summer is here, and I accidentally discovered a kind of early-ripening grape on the mountain. It has good quality and strong fruity aroma. There is a whole area of ​​it, and an idea came to my mind.

I decided to spend half a month picking wild grapes and making them into wine.

Yun Yuan started making trouble again. Relying on Ji Zhang's money, she blatantly snatched grapes from me, charging one penny per pound. Many people went up the mountain to pick grapes for her, so the number of grapes I could pick became less.

I was angry at her for wasting such a precious resource. The grapes that were useless in her hands were invaluable wine to me. She harvested them for two days, and Ji Zhang died.

I thought to myself that she deserved it. Without Ji Zhang, I wonder how she can still show off. I'm afraid she will be out of money in a few days.

Sure enough, she was quiet for two days.

On the third day, with the intention of watching the fun, Ji Shen and I went to see her, under the pretext of bringing some money for incense, but in fact I didn't bring any money, as I thought she wouldn't accept it given her pride.

She is still so arrogant. She doesn't seem sad at all when Ji Shen died. She even said in public that I was the one who killed her mother, and that I was also responsible for her father's death.

I denied it and she made me swear.

To be honest, I am quite taboo about this. Having experienced reincarnation, I think maybe there really are gods and ghosts in this world?

Yun Yuan kept biting me, everyone was looking at me, and I could only swear.

Unexpectedly, a bolt of lightning struck from the sky. Although it didn't hurt me, I was really scared.

What was that feeling like? My heart and soul were shaken, and for a moment I truly felt like I was seeing relatives from my past life.

I don't know how I got back. Since this incident, everyone looked at me strangely, but they still had to please me because Ji Shen was the only scholar in the village and they would have to rely on him in the future.

Ji Huai came back and heard Ji Shen say that he was doing business outside. I didn't take him seriously. Which good man who is successful in business would still wear a coarse cloth shorts?

Yun Yuan never gave up on buying grapes from the village. I waited for a few days and finally couldn't wait any longer and bought grapes from the villagers.

Although I don't make braised meat to sell, I still have to cook and send it to Ji Shen. As a result, I don't have enough time. I am often busy until late at night and have to get up early the next day.

Even though I tried so hard, I still couldn't handle all the grapes I harvested a few days ago. After throwing away half of the wild grapes, I had to limit my purchases. I knew these actions would offend some people, but I had no choice.

Yun Yuan climbed over the wall and tried to steal my wine-making technology, but I lied to her and said I was making grape jam and asked her to put a lot of sugar in it.

Sugar is a rare commodity here. It would be best if she lost all her savings. Then we can see how she will go against me in the future.

After picking the wild grapes, I continued to go to Qingcheng to sell braised meat.

After accumulating experience over the past period of time, many college students have become my loyal customers. Every time it is meal time, my shop is crowded with people, and I feel a sense of accomplishment.

But the good times didn't last long, Yun Yuan actually came to my shop to cause trouble.

What's wrong with being looked at by men? If she doesn't want others to see her, then she shouldn't go out. She looks so charming and seductive, and at first glance she is a foxy woman. And Ji Shen, who is following her, looks at her with eyes that are definitely not innocent.

I disdain it. She is indeed a dodder. She cannot live without a man. Such women are looked down upon in modern times. But I am different. I am the heroine.

Yun Yuan said that my braised meat was not good, so I took the opportunity to make a bet with her and let her marry Ergouzi.

I wouldn’t have been so anxious before, but I found that Mu Xingzhi seemed to have taken a fancy to Yun Yuan.

There are many people who are chasing Yun Yuan's beauty. I have no doubt that even if it is her second marriage, Yun Yuan can still marry well.

I won't allow Yun Yuan to use her beauty to stir up trouble.

It was not until now that I understood that beauty is a powerful weapon. Even if a woman can do nothing, there are still many people willing to support her.

This is a world where looks matter.

Yun Yuan and I agreed to compete at Huai Shang Restaurant, but I lost.

Not only did I lose the shop, I also lost two hundred taels of silver, and was back to the days before liberation overnight.

And Ergouzi, he disappeared, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth, and this person can never be found again.

After the competition, everything went wrong for me, and I also had disagreements with Ji Shen.

He has not experienced the same hardships as I have, and is a bit out of touch with the world. He is arrogant and looks down on everyone. His mind is full of romantic things, and there is no trace of the fireworks of life.
