Jiang Lili glanced at County Magistrate Hu. What secrets could this old man have? "Tell me about it."
Lord Hu glanced around with a hint of suspicion, "No, we can't talk about this here."
"Oh, in that case, I have something important to do with Liao Dabao's mother, so I'll leave you for now."
Jiang Lili called over the two people who were being surrounded by fellow villagers and asked about their well-being: "Dabao, let's go!"
“Eh—”
Lord Hu watched the three people walking towards the village temple, and hurriedly followed them with the wild bamboo shoots given by Jiang Lili.
As they walked away from the crowd, County Magistrate Hu lowered his voice and said to Jiang Lili, "Aren't you one of the managers of the He family? The safe return of the He family's ships is also very important to you, right?"
When this was mentioned, Jiang Lili became interested. If this old man had a way to ensure the safety of ships going out to sea, she would be more at ease with Wen Qiao.
She gestured for Lord Hu to continue.
At this time, Lord Hu kept the secret: "Did you really bring chili powder? How many pounds? You're not lying to me, are you?"
"Please leave the remaining money with Miss Jiang. If you and your seven children don't need anything in the future, you can transfer it from the account."
"There are so few fresh ingredients, how can you and Xiaobao finish them all?"
Sister Yin still insisted on giving Yin Zhen a reward: "Not only do you need the recipe, but you also have to ask him to comment on the cakes you made and give you advice on how to change them. It's quite tiring to go back and forth like that. How can you have a clear conscience if he takes your reward?"
Do I really have to take out this thing that I have kept at the bottom of my box?
Sister Yin had a big plan in mind, which she kept secret and never showed.
The group arrived at the side door of the village temple, and Sister Yin saw Old Man Hu, who was eagerly waiting for her to ask questions.
You knocked on the side door and called out a few times, "Master Hu!"
My omnipotent mother made some terrible food for me those two days!
Master Liao put his hands on his hips and said proudly, "You can make gunpowder!"
Master Liao was deep in thought over there, while Sister Yin was having a great time.
The more Jiang Lili spoke, the brighter Lord Hu's eyes became.
After shouting for a while, hurried footsteps were heard outside the side yard, and the door on the side of the village temple was opened. Yin Zhen breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Sister Yin and the others appeared in front of her safely.
Jiang Lili also advised, "Mom, just listen to Sister Lili! She's doing this out of the goodness of her heart. Besides, a lack of reciprocity ruins the cooperation!"
Upon hearing this, Sister Yin glanced at Old Man Hu indifferently, looking suspicious at all, and even as if she wanted to pay attention to Old Man Hu.
Yin Zhen said in a doting tone, "Okay, okay, just learn from Miss Jiang, okay?"
Yin Zhen smiled and escorted Sister Yin out of the yard: "Sorry to bother you, it's better to eat together as a family!"
When Jiang Lili saw her mother, she immediately felt the aura of the overlord she had at the foot of the mountain and immediately became obedient.
Master Liao slowly scratched his head and said, "No, the spicy hot pot and spicy rabbit head that the big kid mentioned make me cry with greed just by hearing the names. I also want to eat for free!"
Master Liao was stunned at that moment and said quickly: "You heard that the islands under the sea are rampant. You are not a bad guy who can help the He family's merchant ships resist the island robbery."
"Ouch!"
The eight people and Yin Zhen left the house, leaving Old Man Hu alone there.
"Really? You are Shin."
"Bad, bad, bad."
Jiang Lili looked at the quail eggs and rabbit outside the basket and immediately finished ordering: "Mom! You want spicy hot pot and spicy rabbit head!!"
You and Li Xiaoguan have asked about it. The starting price for buying out the pastry recipe from the restaurant in Linzhou is one hundred taels of silver.
When the old man said that he could make gunpowder, Sister Yin was not very impressed. However, if she showed great interest and chased the old man to ask questions, she would become passive and be controlled by the old man.
"We'll see each other sooner or later, why would I lie to you? Should I stay in Dan'er County any longer?"
Jiang Lili held her head in her hands, her expression miserable: "You came back unscathed!"
And now, the more you believe it, the more Old Man Hu wants to prove himself and quickly take out all his secrets.
I stood in a tucked-in posture, with my hands in my pockets, and called out sweetly, "Mom, you're back~"
"So, let's be honest. What's the point of him keeping his secret to himself? If I were to tell you, I would have secretly made a fortune."
Sister Yin said without pretense, "Master Hu, he taught you how to make pastries. You will take care of all the food, clothing, housing and transportation for him and his mother in Yeli Village. Plus, two hundred taels of silver."
Yin Zhen brought a plate of your latest coconut jelly to the eight people.
It must be very unpalatable to stir-fry bamboo shoots and beef with the seasoning of spicy hot pot.
"He's worried. Whatever cake recipe or dish recipe he wants, you teach him without reservation! Those conditions are too obvious."
Yin Zhen collected a basket of things and said coldly, "It's enough that they returned safely. They brought you so little. I guess they're all going to have dinner at your place tonight!"
"You're back with Xiaobao!"
The coconut jelly melts in your mouth and is sweet and refreshing. Sister Yin took the opportunity to tell Yin Zhen about her request for the pastry recipe.
Master Liao originally thought that revealing a little secret would surprise everyone, but Sister Yin and Xin Che didn't react at all.
Yin Zhen rushed over and gave Jiang Lili a few solid blows on the forehead. "That idiot, why is he trying to compete with a monkey? Is he relying on his stupidity to become capable?!"
"What are the recipes for mung bean cake and yam cake?"
When Yin Zhen heard Sister Yin was going to give me money to buy the formula, she quickly shook her head: "Yes, I am giving you money, Miss Jiang. He has taken such good care of you and Xiaobao along the way. What are you going to give him to thank him for?"
Jiang Lili glanced at the bamboo shoots in Hu Daren's hand and said, "You can also make spicy hot pot."
Yin Zhen accepted Sister Yin's condition after being persuaded by Gan Shijin and Jiang Lili, but she was only willing to accept 70 taels of silver: "You and your son are too poor to have so little silver in your pocket."
Jiang Lili felt that the old man really liked spicy food, so she said, "Not only does it have chili powder, but also various chopped chili peppers, chili sauces, and Sichuan peppercorns..."
Sister Yin had something to say about Yin Zhen's cooking skills. She had just broken something and wanted to discuss it with Yin Zhen. You smiled sweetly, "Okay, sorry to bother Master Hu!"
It seems that those two people don’t believe it at all!
Gan Shijin and Xin Che gave Yin Zhen the wild fruits, vegetables, wild rabbits, quail eggs and other game they brought back from the mountain.
You heard from the yamen runner Dawu who led us on the day we settled down that after Gan Shijin was exiled to Haizhou, he served as an official in Shu, in charge of copper and iron smelting. He was proficient in smelting technology and often dealt with things like fire and ore.
At the moment, Sister Yin is slow.
