Only then did the accountant raise his head and smile, "Yo, storekeeper, you're here."

The young master dressed in silk spat at him, "Get up, little monkey. How much money do you have to waste on me!? Are you an idiot if you don't want to earn money? "

As he cursed his subordinates in a low voice, he smiled at Su Zhi in a flurry of movements.

"Speaking of which, young lady, since you're not a junior from the cold arts, why did you go to that place, Flowerwood Restaurant, where chickens don't lay eggs? If you come to our 'Lover of a Hundred Flavors', then I promise you will have no regrets."

The man waved his fan as he stared at the girl in front of him.

Su Zhi pursed her lips, feeling that the person was looking at her as if he were looking at a rich god. She carefully waved her hand and said, "No need, I'm very afraid that I'm very afraid of growing up. I still prefer a quiet place.

With these words, she hurriedly turned around and left, afraid that she would be tricked by this shrewd young man in front of her.

To be honest, she also wanted to live and eat better, but she only had a few dollars in her pocket, so she had to make long-term plans.

When Su Zhi returned to Flowerflower Restaurant, she remembered the scene at the back of the kitchen and felt goosebumps all over her skin.

The young scholar didn't seem to mind at all as he continued to recite the Four Books and Five Classics, as if he didn't know his hunger.

The dishes were delivered very quickly. The price was one tael of silver, but there was only a plate of plain stir-fried potatoes with shredded potatoes, a plate of fragrant eggplant minced meat, a plate of steamed vegetables with no ingredients and a big bowl of vegetable soup.

Looking at the ingredients, the shop owner with a hundred flavors and a happy expression must have cheated her, but judging from the looks of it, it was indeed enough to arouse a person's appetite. Su Zhi hurriedly ordered her two children to eat together with her.

At this time, the beautiful scholar from the inner courtyard came out while smelling the fragrance.

"It smells so good. The little lady is calling it a 'hundred flavors of Clear Joyous'."

Su Zhi nodded in agreement as she served the food for the two children.

Seeing that the scholar had no intention of leaving, Su Zhi felt a little embarrassed.

"Manager, if you don't mind, come and eat with us."

The scholar sat down across from him and started to fill the bowl with rice.

"Call me Brother Li. My family name is Li and my family name is Li."

While Su was feeding Ah Jin, she also fed the small bean bun. When she heard his big name, she could only nod slightly.

"Young lady, you are not from Xuan City right? I heard you said that you are here to look for relatives. I'm not good at anything else, but I'm familiar with Xuancheng and might be able to help. "

Li Yi picked up a pair of chopsticks to stir-fry the potatoes and said disdainfully: "If you want me to say that the hundred flavors of Clear Joy is a scam, then isn't it just ordinary potatoes with a little red pepper?" You have to call it Golden Silk Red Jade, it's so expensive. "

However, the taste was really good. The cooking skills of a chef were indeed not bad.

Su Zhi said carelessly, "No need to trouble Brother Li."

"How is this trouble? A woman like you dragging two children while you're out, how inconvenient."

Without waiting for Su Zhi to refuse, he continued, "I saw that you weren't very old. I didn't expect you to already be the mother of two children."

Li Yi giggled and stared at A Jin and Little Dou curiously, as if he didn't believe them.

Su Zhi did not explain any further, but he still pursued her relentlessly. She changed the topic, "Big Brother Li's shop must have been passed down by our ancestors, right? From the looks of this place, it must be filled with guests. How did it end up in such a desolate place? "

Saying that, Li Yi lost his cool, slapping the bowl of food and said faintly: "Speaking of it, my ancestors were rich and powerful, but my grandfather was not a good person to start a business, and his family situation has worsened. In my father's generation, Liang Tian's stores had been sold, leaving only this' Flowerful House '. Before his death, father had told me that no matter how difficult the days were, I must not sell this ancestral restaurant. "

"I don't know much about business. I like reading books and I don't like the smell of money. Not long after my father died, the cook and the waiter left. No one wants to stay. "

Hearing this, Su Zhi understood more or less what was going on. From the looks of it, this young scholar was not a poor family who lived like that, but she did not know how long he could last.

"Then did Brother Li take the Imperial examinations?" "If you don't have a customer, how will you do business and earn a living?"

Li Yi scratched his head and laughed in an embarrassed manner. "About this … I've been an Elementary Scholar before, but I'll surely pass the Imperial examinations next year."

Su Zhi smiled and kindly said, "Since Brother Li has no intention of hiding anything from me, then I won't beat around the bush. My surname is Su, and my name is Zhi."

"This name is very good. Li Ting Lan of the shore, would like to stay high and clean."

"Thank you, Big Brother Li, for your praise."

After a moment of silence, Su Zhi could not help but ask again, "Since Brother Li can't sell this shop, why aren't you taking care of it properly? I think this shop is really dirty. Even if the price is cheap, it still won't be able to attract customers. "

Hearing that, Li Yi said righteously, "A gentleman should be far from the kitchen! I am just a scholar, how could I take care of all this? I can look for the waiter after I earn some money in the future. "

"But where are you going to make money now?"

Li Yi said indifferently, "There will always be guests who come to visit."

Su Zhi put down her utensils and sat upright. "Husband, why can't you sweep the world with a single room?"

Li Yi abruptly raised his head when he heard this, then stared at Su Zhi. "Alright!" [How can I sweep the world if I don't sweep the house!] Has my wife ever read the Book of Saints? "

She shook her head and said, "I only know a few words. I just understand some principles."

Hearing this, Li Yi no longer said anything. He actually obediently went into the kitchen to clean up after his meal.

The sound of clinking came from the kitchen, accompanied by the sound of several porcelain bowls shattering on the floor.

After about four to six hours, when Little Dou Bao called for water, Su Zhi went back downstairs to the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water.

When he entered the kitchen, he saw that the place where the marinade was originally messy had already been scrubbed clean. The tableware had been cleaned and placed in the cupboard. The mildewed rice noodles had also been cleaned and thrown away.

"A child is worth teaching." Su Zhi couldn't help but laugh, feeling mischievous about her little thoughts.

It was because she couldn't find a good place to stay that she had to stay in this inn for a few days. She couldn't stand the miasma of the kitchen.

Su boiled some hot water to cool it down before sending it back to the room. Then, she turned around and went down, preparing to make some good food for the children while the Elementary Scholars were gone.

One tael of silver and three dishes for four people to eat. I don't think A Jin is full yet. She just doesn't want to talk about it.

The sound of the books being read had long been inaudible. It was probably because he was too tired from his work and had no idea where he was resting.

Su Zhi closed the door and windows, took out a piece of beef jerky from the storage room, and pickled it with sesame oil and garlic. Then he took a few eggs and steamed them in a bowl. When it was almost done, he cut off a small piece of beef and stir-fried it with salad oil. Then, he added soy sauce to add some fresh meat.

After the eggs were steamed, he put the beef mince that had just left the wok on the surface. A hibiscus egg was quickly cooked.

She carried the steamed egg upstairs and asked the two children to share. She then went downstairs to continue thinking about the dinner.

Elementary Scholar Li was still nowhere to be seen, so no one dared to make a tomato, beef, and asparagus prawns before Su Zhi could do anything. After cutting them into pieces and cooking them with sweet potato powder, they fried them together with the cured meat.

"What is that thing that smells so good?"

Suddenly, a loud shout startled Su Zhi.

When Elementary Scholar Li smelled the scent of food as he barged into the kitchen and saw the three dishes on the stove, his mouth started watering.

"This dish..." It's not full of joy, right? "

Su Zhi nodded and said, "I made the vegetables I bought at the market just now. I can't afford to keep eating from restaurants."

Li Yi stared at her with his two bright eyes, full of worship. He took the chopsticks to taste the flavor and admired her from the bottom of his heart.

"Little Su!" Save me! "

He grabbed Su Zhi's arm as if he was holding onto his life.

Su Zhi raised her eyebrows and squeezed out a smile, trying to ask, "Brother Li couldn't be thinking of keeping me at Flower Mansion as a chef, right?"
