Li Yu didn't expect that when he returned to the store, he would meet two people he hadn't seen for a long time.
One is Lu Siwei, who often comes to their restaurant to eat and take away. He can be said to be a regular customer of the restaurant, and he comes whenever the academy is closed.
What Li Yu didn't expect was that he brought a girl this time, and this girl was an acquaintance of Li Yu - the girl who came to see Lin Jiang last time.
"Mr. Lu, are you coming to eat?"
Li Yu was quite familiar with him, but he was a picky eater. Every time he came to eat, as long as Li Yu was not busy at home, he would ask her to cook for him.
After a few visits, he became familiar with the people in the store.
"Yes, Auntie. I had nothing to do today, so I brought my sister out for a walk and wanted her to taste your cooking. I didn't expect you weren't in the store."
"Well, that's nothing. Just sit there and wait for me. I'll make you one of my specialties."
After saying that, he went into the kitchen.
What she didn't know was that the girl outside was blaming her brother.
"Brother, what are you doing? The old lady just came back from outside and you asked her to cook. What are you thinking?"
"Ah? I didn't say that. Didn't Auntie say that herself?"
Lu Siwei was puzzled.
·····
Idiot! Lu Xinzhu thought.
Her brother really has nothing to show for himself except studying.
He said angrily, "It's because you are a special person and a regular customer that I went there in person.
There are no customers in the store right now, and there's a chef in the kitchen, so it's not your turn to cook, okay? They were just being polite. But you can't even tell the difference, why don't you stop them?
Is this still possible? Lu Siwei was embarrassed. He didn't mean it.
Let’s take Lu Siwei, a person who loves delicious food and is smart in studying.
But he is a naive person when it comes to interpersonal relationships.
His mother often worried, what should she do in the future?
Not even as good as his seemingly innocent sister.
Li Yu had no idea that the brother and sister were discussing her, and she didn't think too much about it.
She went into the kitchen and saw a fish, so she took out some pickled cabbage and planned to make pickled fish.
This dish is not spicy and is suitable for both men and women.
But she knew that many ladies from wealthy families didn't eat spicy food.
Lu Siwei has been here more often, and almost everyone in the store knows his identity. He just told Li Yu that he came with his sister.
Li Yu was certain that this girl was the only daughter of the county magistrate and his wife - Lu Xinzhu!
Yang Liu and Lin Fei were in charge of the dishes they had just ordered, while Li Yu was absent-mindedly making the pickled fish.
She was wondering if this girl was here to see Lin Jiang.
If this girl really wanted to marry Lin Jiang, she didn't know whether to say that Lu Xinzhu had no taste or that her son was too charming.
Moreover, the gap between the two families is quite large. Although the county magistrate is a small official for officials, it is not small for their family.
What qualifications do these country folk have to marry an official?
Moreover, in the eyes of outsiders, Lin Jiang is now just a waiter who runs errands for his brother.
The county magistrate is equivalent to the modern rank, that is, the deputy county magistrate of a county.
Li Yu felt that she was worried to death.
"Auntie, don't you have waiters in your restaurant? Why are you and the shopkeeper serving the dishes?"
Lu Xinzhu said this when Li Yu brought out the pickled fish.
Here we come!
Li Yu said that she believed that Lu Siwei came to eat.
But it’s a different story for Lu Xinzhu.
Before Li Yu could answer, Lu Siwei spoke.
"How is that possible? The shopkeeper's younger brother usually helps out. I've seen him several times when I came here."
Li Yu smiled and answered yes.
"Maybe there are fewer customers now, so he's not helping out. He was always there when business was good. Otherwise, can the shopkeeper handle it all by himself? Isn't that right, Auntie?"
Seeing that Lu Xinzhu was so angry at his brother that he couldn't speak, Li Yu forced himself to smile and said, "That's right."
After she left, Lu Xinzhu pinched her brother and said with gritted teeth.
"If you don't speak, no one will think you're dumb. I didn't ask you, so what are you grabbing?"
?
Lu Siwei felt aggrieved. You just said that I was ignorant and troubled the aunt to cook.
Now I take the initiative to answer questions for the old lady, but it doesn’t work again.
I really don't understand what my sister is thinking. Of course, I can only think about it in my heart. If I say it out loud, I will be the one who suffers in the end.
Forget it, let’s eat! The food is getting cold.
Thinking of this, he first tasted the pickled fish.
Delicious! Can fish be made sour?
The thinly sliced fish was sour, spicy, and tender. Even the pickled vegetables were delicious.
Lu Siwei's performance was not an exaggeration, as there seemed to be no such dish as pickled fish here.
Li Yu did not add it to the restaurant’s menu, the main reason being that there was no sauerkraut.
Here, sauerkraut is made by poor families in the countryside when they have no vegetables to eat in winter. It was Wang who gave it to her family.
Li Yu doesn’t know how to pickle sauerkraut at all.
The reason for making this dish today is that the weather is gradually getting warmer and the sauerkraut can only be kept for a few days, so Yang Liu took it out to make buns and sell tomorrow morning.
It just so happened that Li Yu saw it, there happened to be a fish, and it just so happened that Lu Siwei and his sister came.
It just happened to give them a treat.
