Chapter 69: Poaching
It’s different from usual and I can’t stand it!
She only has one son, Zhou Weizhi, and now she only has one grandson, Zhou Ruoyi.
No one can touch Zhou Ruoyi!
"I understand my mother's dilemma," Li said. "If it wasn't for Yi'er, I wouldn't want to cause such a scene with my second and third brothers, and let others laugh at me."
"But they dared to harm Yi'er in this matter. I don't know what they will do in the future. They need to be severely punished and lose their reputation so that they know the consequences of doing these things."
"Mom, I think Yi'er is blessed by God this time. He can be said to have escaped death. I really can't keep him by my side anymore. Why not separate the second and third rooms?"
The old lady thought for a moment and nodded, "I originally thought that we would all live in the old house. When outsiders see us, it would be a great honor for the Zhou family to see us living in harmony. I never thought..."
"Well, your father has been gone for some time, and this family should have been divided up earlier. Let's take this opportunity to divide it up. If they cause any trouble outside in the future, it will have nothing to do with us."
"Mother is absolutely right. That's exactly the point."
Seeing that the old lady nodded in agreement on the division of the family property, Mrs. Li also breathed a sigh of relief.
After talking for a while, seeing that the old lady was also a little exhausted, Li sent her back to the yard to rest.
Then he ordered people to keep an eye on the county government office, and finally brought the boiled medicine to Zhou Ruoyi.
Zhou Ruoyi was awake now. Although his complexion was extremely bad, he was in better spirits. He did not need Li to feed him. He drank the bowl of medicine clean by himself.
After he finished drinking the medicine, Lian Qiao had already brought over the cooked porridge and side dishes so that Zhou Ruoyi could take some.
"lady."
While Zhou Ruoyi was drinking his porridge, Lian Qiao came up to Li and whispered, "Yunzhi Pavilion just sent some lotus seed paste and egg yolk pastry and a few cakes. I saw that they were what Madam likes to eat, so I paid for them."
"Okay." Li nodded. "Yier likes to eat yam cakes stuffed with jujube paste. Remember to save a few more pieces for Yier to eat when he gets better. For the rest, each of you can pick some and send them to the old lady."
"By the way, if you have time, go to Yunzhizhai and tell them that if we need any snacks, they will send someone to get them, so we don't have to bother them to deliver them back and forth."
"Yes." Lian Qiao agreed and placed a few pieces of lotus seed paste and egg yolk pastry on the table next to her. "Madam has been busy for so long, worried about Master Yi's affairs. She must be a little hungry now. Eat two pieces first to fill your stomach. It's getting late. I'll go and tell someone to prepare dinner."
"Go ahead."
After Lian Qiao left, Li picked up a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth.
The pastry on the outside is extremely crispy, the lotus paste on the inside is soft and glutinous, and the salted egg yolk is fresh and delicious. The whole dessert tastes very delicious.
However, this delicious and sweet snack is not sweet enough when eaten.
As Li was eating, she sighed and put the remaining half back on the plate.
Here, the old lady returned to her room and leaned on the couch to rest.
Zi Su beside him presented the things that Lian Qiao had brought over, and also poured a cup of hot Tremella tea.
The old lady took two bites of the cloud cake, suppressed it with some white fungus tea, and could not help but nodded, "This cloud cake has to be the best from Yunzhizhai."
"Yes." Zi Su nodded repeatedly. "In the entire Qinghe County, Yunzhizhai's pastries are the most delicious. The eldest lady also likes them very much. Yunzhizhai also sends all kinds of pastries to us every day."
"This Yunzhizhai really knows how to do business." The old lady nodded.
"Of course not. Yunzhizhai is an old brand with a great reputation. Yun Yongnian is young and knows how to deal with people. I heard people say that the two people in the Yun family who don't know how to do business gave birth to Yun Yongnian, who has business experience. This is also a blessing from God."
Business is about permanence.
The old lady narrowed her eyes. ——After Su Yujin returned, she lay down and rested for a while.
She had stayed at Zhou's house for half a day. She was busy seeing patients and had also uncovered a mastermind. She was really exhausted now.
Seeing this, Ai Cao and Mother Liu simply turned up the heat on the floor heating in the house, and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner so that Su Yujin could eat when she woke up.
The tender and soft salted egg yolk shrimp and tofu stew, the refreshing stir-fried lotus root shreds that go well with rice, the crispy fried mushrooms sprinkled with five-spice powder, the brightly colored and fragrant braised chicken wings, the staple food is scallion pancakes, and the soup is red date rice porridge.
Su Yujin slept until it was completely dark before getting up. She had dinner with Ai Cao and Mother Liu, but felt that she had not slept enough, so she went back to sleep.
The next morning, just after eating the fried sugar cakes made by Liu's mother and drinking the tofu pudding cooked with mugwort, Zeng Dayong arrived.
"Girl, Master said he has something to do, please come over."
"Uncle Zheng is really diligent. It's only been a few days and he already has new dishes for tasting?" Su Yujin joked, "Didn't you just say a few days ago that if you ask me to taste a dish, I have to say that the well has become a spirit. Why didn't you say that this time?"
Zeng Dayong scratched his head, "This time, it's not the well that has become a spirit, it's the wall that has become a spirit."
"The wall has become a spirit?" Su Yujin was stunned.
"Yes, there is a spirit at the base of the wall, so the master asked me to invite the girl over, and it would be better if you bring a shovel with you." Zeng Dayong said with a smile.
Bring a shovel...
Poaching? When Su Yujin arrived at the kitchen of Huibinlou, Zheng Mingyuan laughed, "It seems that the boss also values me very much. As soon as he heard about this, he came here immediately. Isn't it more useful than a well becoming a spirit?"
"Uncle Zheng always teases me." Su Yujin smiled, "Uncle Zheng, tell me, what's going on?"
"Literally."
Zheng Mingyuan said, "Last night, the guests who were drinking in front had basically all left. The shopkeeper Qian from Fuyunlou came and said that the pearl glutinous rice chicken in our restaurant was the most delicious, much better than their Shenxian chicken. He had to meet the chef of Huibinlou no matter what."
"We were originally colleagues, and he came to see me. The matter here was a little uncertain, but because we were colleagues, we had to be more cautious. Shopkeeper Wu came to call me and told me that I didn't need to be too polite to him and just went through the motions."
"As a result, when the shopkeeper Qian saw me, he sent the shopkeeper Wu away and talked to me alone. He said that he wanted to invite me to work as a chef in Fuyun Restaurant. He also said that as long as I came, he would name any price."
"This guy is really straightforward in digging into someone's corner." Su Yujin chuckled, "Then what did Uncle Zheng say to him?"
"What else can I say? I just want to work to earn money, so I will work for the boss who pays me the most..."
I played mahjong from 8:00 to 12:00 yesterday, and when I counted the winnings, I found I had won five dollars...
