Chapter 342 I heard that I am the best (29)

Not to mention the Song family's plot against Mu Yunchao, these are things that Mu Yunchao should worry about and have nothing to do with Zhou Shichu.

Several months after she divorced Li Wei, she finally met him again.

Of course, it’s not that Li Wei suddenly “realized” that he liked his ex-wife Zhou Shichu a few months after the divorce. They are not the male and female protagonists in a wife-chasing funeral pyre, so naturally there is no such “romantic treatment”.

The reason is simple, it's just because of the desire for food.

Although Aunt Qian learned some cooking skills from Zhou Shichu, the difference in seasonings and personal cooking skills meant that the dishes she cooked were not as delicious as those made by Zhou Shichu. Although they were already very good compared to those made by others, Li Wei and Li Ji had both tasted the highest-level delicacies made by Zhou Shichu, so how could they be satisfied with ordinary delicacies?

Therefore, Li Ji always made a fuss at home and insisted that Zhou Shichu go back to cook for him. How could this be possible? Only a spoiled child like Li Ji would be so "innocent" to ask his former stepmother to go back to cook for him. Li Wei finally beat him up several times, and he stopped talking about it.

But recently, Aunt Qian has been asked to come to Zhou Shichu's restaurant to buy food many times. Aunt Qian was a little embarrassed when she first came, but Zhou Shichu always greeted her with a smile. She gradually returned to normal and even took the opportunity to chat with Zhou Shichu when she came to buy food.

Of course Zhou Shichu would not have any dislike for her as a servant of the Li family. She was a guest who came to take care of their business. She was happy to see Aunt Qian, so how could she be angry with her because of Li Ji?

"I want two braised pork elbows and a roast chicken." Li Wei took out the money while instructing the waiter.

Zhou Shichu was counting the bills behind the counter. When she heard his familiar voice, she looked up unexpectedly. Li Wei also noticed her after he finished speaking, and his expression froze for a moment, but he had a cold face anyway, so it didn't make any difference whether he was froze or not.

Li Wei nodded to Zhou Shichu and asked for some small talk: "Are you in the store?"

"Yes." Zhou Shichu nodded. Although they divorced because of Li Ji's education issues, there was no deep hatred between them. It could be considered a peaceful breakup, so they could talk calmly when they met.

"Captain Li, would you like to buy some sausages?" Zhou Shichu pointed at a bunch of air-dried sausages hanging in the store and asked, "This is a new food I made. It contains pork and various seasonings that are mashed up, stuffed into sausage casings and dried. It tastes great and can be stored for a long time. You can cut it into slices and steam it and eat it directly. It is also very delicious if you stir-fry it with bamboo shoots, garlic sprouts and other side dishes... Captain Li, why don't you buy some and try it?"

Zhou Shichu said with a smile, and started to promote his sausages to Li Wei, "This is a new food, and the people of Cuicheng have never seen it before. They are curious but dare not try it first, so Zhou Shichu had to start promoting it."

Li Wei nodded and agreed very happily: "Okay, then I'll take three." He thought they were sold one by one, not by weight.

"Then Xiao Cui, quickly get Captain Li three of the biggest and best sausages." Zhou Shichu immediately ordered with a smile on his face.

As expected, the waiter Xiao Cui quickly took out three sausages that were as thick as a child's arm and one and a half feet long and weighed them for Li Wei.

"Finally sold some!" After Li Wei left, the waiter Xiao Cui sighed. There was nothing he could do. Zhou Shichu had hung these sausages for several days, but only a few were sold. There were many people asking about them, but no one dared to buy them because they hadn't tasted them. After all, the price was not low.

"Don't worry. As long as a good thing becomes famous, you won't have to worry about selling it in the future." Zhou Shichu was not too worried about the sales of sausages. Even if the people of Cuicheng really didn't like it, she could keep it for herself. After all, the shelf life of sausages was long.

Zhou Shichu bought several pigs and took them to the farm to make these sausages. After all, the quantity was quite large and could fill up several rooms, so they could only be made in the farm where there was enough space.

"Xiao Cui, tomorrow we will steam a sausage in the store, cut it into small pieces, and let the customers try it for free. I don't believe they won't like it after trying it!" Zhou Shichu thought of this idea and said. The smell of steamed sausage is also overbearing and tempting enough, and he doesn't believe it won't attract people.

Sure enough, the next day, as the aroma of the steamed sausages spread, the sausages that had been hanging in the store for several days with no one interested in buying them were sold out in less than a day. Other customers who didn't buy any even reminded the store to remember to restock them in time.

Zhou Shichu counted the silver happily, waved his hand, and asked people to buy a few pigs to make sausages. Not only sausages, but also smoked sausages could be made. Some people like the taste of smoked sausages.

After Li Wei brought the sausages home, he asked Aunt Qian to cook them according to the method Zhou Shichu told him. Sure enough, the sausages were delicious after a simple frying. Li Ji ate them with his mouth full of oil and kept shouting that he would buy more in the future.

When Li Wei returned to the barracks the next day, he somehow went back to the kitchen to get a sausage, ready to bring back to the barracks to improve the food. The food in the barracks could only fill the stomach, but the taste was not good. Although Li Wei had eaten grass roots and tree barks, he didn't want to abuse himself if he could eat well, so he took the sausage with him. He only ate it once, and he couldn't forget it. He didn't know when he would come back next time, so it was good to take one to satisfy his craving.

He planned to eat the sausage after half a month or a month, after all, the sausage would not go bad if stored. But one night when he didn't have to be on duty, his colleagues came to him for a drink. After drinking for a while, he said that there was only wine but no food, and his mouth was very bland. It would be better if there were some snacks to go with the wine, such as peanuts and edamame, to satisfy his craving.

Li Wei immediately thought of the sausage he had hidden.

But he was reluctant to give it up. After all, he only had one sausage, and there were four or five grown men here. How could one sausage be enough to share? So he silently swallowed the words in his throat.

However, some of his colleagues who came to drink with him were not content. After a few drinks, they became drunk and crazy and insisted on dragging Li Wei to compete with them.

Before they left the tent, they started fighting inside. During the fight, they didn't know what happened, but the sausage flew out and fell at the feet of several colleagues who were watching the fun and shouting nearby.

"What is this? It's hard and dry!" A centurion named Zhao picked up the sausage at his feet, looked at it again and again, but couldn't figure out what it was, so he asked in confusion.

"Let me see!" Another man named Liu snatched the sausage, took a few glances at it, and sniffed it, shouting, "Li Wei, what kind of intestines are these? Pig intestines, sheep intestines, or cow intestines? They've been dried up like this, why are you keeping them?"
