Chapter 198 Shopkeeper Xinglong takes the bait

Shen Nuanning occasionally went to town.

The business of Liu's Inn is getting better and better day by day.

The two made an appointment to meet at Liu Yan's restaurant.

Two big inns are fighting, so the small restaurant will naturally not be affected. They are not close to each other, so people who don't want to go too far will naturally come here, and the markets are also different.

Liu Liu told her, "You wouldn't know it if you didn't come here. The day after these dishes were launched, the inn was extremely busy. There are many people queuing up every day."

"Not to mention the other two dishes, breakfast guests must order the sesame balls! Those on the go must order the jerky! There are always people asking about how to make the jerky."

Shen Nuanning came up with an idea, "We can get a number plate and let the guests sit and wait. Otherwise, the guests will be resentful."

"That's a good idea. Let them hold the sign so that they don't get angry. But it will only be so lively for a month or two. After that, the guests will get used to it and it shouldn't be so busy."

Liu Liu smiled at her, his eyes round, "Speaking of which, do you have any plans to invest in shares? Our inn will give you 10% of the shares. You don't have to pay. You can just provide recipes occasionally."

Shen Nuanning raised her eyebrows, "That's what you had in mind."

As expected of a businessman, he could smell the scent of Fang Zi, and knew that by tying her up, he was tying up many Fang Zi, which meant that he was tying up a lot of money.

When she was collecting supplies in her previous life, she did collect a lot of books, including cookbooks and the eight major Sichuan and Cantonese cuisines, but she had never read them.

The dishes she knew how to memorize were just because she liked eating them.

"Let's talk about it after the matter is done." She winked at Liu Liu.

Liu Liu guessed that after her nephew left Xinglong Inn, it would be the best choice to work as a cook at Liu's Inn. With her nephew in hand, there was really no rush.

She gloated, "Xinglong's recent customers are really bad. My people who inquired about it said that the shopkeeper was so anxious that he was afraid that he was going to do something."

Shen Nuanning was still afraid that he would not make any move.

"Eat, eat!"

After Liu Liu finished speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and picked up the vegetables frantically, stuffing them into his mouth frantically.

He had obviously made a lot of money recently and his face was glowing, but he looked like he hadn't eaten in a few days.

Shen Nuanning was stunned.

"Is it that delicious?"

As soon as she started eating, the inn boy standing outside came over and said with a confused look on his face, "Miss!"

Liu Liu's face turned dark immediately, "Why, I'm just having dinner with my good friends, do I still need your help?"

"The old lady said..."

Liu Liu's face turned darker, and he took a few mouthfuls of rice to express his displeasure.

Shen Nuanning held her chin and asked, "What did the old lady say?"

"Miss, you can't eat food from outside, you can't eat meat, you have to lose weight!" The young man said aggrievedly.

It seemed to the old lady that she was so fat because she ate too much meat, which even affected her health.

She suddenly burst into laughter.

Liu Liu glared at her, "It's not all because my grandma heard what you said that day! Otherwise, why would I suffer such torture!"

"I'm just reminding you in a friendly way. Otherwise, if I wait until you are really sick, it will be too late."

She said to the little boy, "When I write down a weight loss recipe, you give it to your old lady and ask her to supervise your lady's weight loss."

To lose weight, you need to sweat and detoxify every day, consume energy, and eat small meals frequently to shrink your stomach little by little.

The little boy looked at her with grateful eyes.

-

And the other side.

It was already past lunch time, and there were still many guests sitting in Liu's Inn. Three or two friends sat together to eat and chat, which was very lively.

"This braised pork is truly amazing! It's fat but not greasy, and very tasty. It's worth savoring!"

"These sesame balls are fragrant, crispy, very sweet, and so delicious."

As soon as the new dish entered the mouth, it immediately captured the taste buds of the guests. The guests' eyes lit up and they immediately started an elegant battle for chopsticks.

"The new dishes that Liu's Inn has recently served are really top-notch, but Xinglong next door can't compare. I heard that they have a new chef. I don't know where the chef came from, but he is so good!"

And the chef at this time.

The boy shouted, "Chef Guan, someone is looking for you at the back door, saying he is your relative!"

"You guys get busy first, I'll be right back!"

Chef Guan wiped the sweat from his forehead, dropped his work, and walked towards the back door.

He said he was a chef, but actually the boy had a somewhat mocking tone, because he was wearing chef's clothes and actually doing odd jobs.

Although Liu Liu kept him, he refused to let him go to the table. The person who came to the back door was an old acquaintance of Chef Guan.

"Chef Guan, long time no see!"

Isn't he just shopkeeper Xinglong's bastard?

Chef Guan slowly wiped his hands, raised his chin and said, "It's you, what are you doing here?"

Shuanzi gritted his teeth and secretly cursed the man in front of him for his success.

He wondered how this damn cook, who had been working in Xinglong for five or six years and had no skills, came up with new recipes at Liu's Inn and helped Liu attract so many guests.

"Chef Guan, I came to see you. I heard that you have made a new dish."

Chef Guan was noncommittal, "So what, what does it matter to you?"

Shuanzi endured the frustration and said, "The shopkeeper misses you so much. I hope you can return to our own inn."

These words made Chef Guan angry. He sneered, "Didn't your shopkeeper drive me out personally? He even asked a young boy to replace me. What did I say at that time? Let you kneel down and beg me to go back.”

Shuanzi wiped his sweat, but his eyes brightened, "How could you? The shopkeeper was so angry at that time. As soon as you left, he immediately regretted it. He just couldn't bear to lose his face. Our relationship for five or six years was a Can a hairy boy compare?"

Seeing this little guy being so low-key, Chef Guan felt relieved and snorted, but his tone was not so harsh.

Shuanzi struck while the iron was hot, "If you want to come back, the shopkeeper will hire you with a high salary immediately. I respectfully invite you to come back! Let's make an appointment at a time and place. Let's discuss the details then?"

-

Liu Liu's face turned darker, "I'm leaving and ignoring you!"

Shopkeeper Liu was at the counter. She nodded slightly, called uncle, and then left.

Shen Nuanning followed her out.

"By the way, what's the grudge between your family and Shopkeeper Liu?"

Liu Liu glanced at her and said, "How do you know we are related?"

Her expression changed slightly, "I can't tell, you are really capable."

Shen Nuanning said, "Just tell me."

Liu Liu thought for a while, "Actually, there's nothing that can't be said. They are all grievances from a long time ago. I wasn't born yet at that time. My uncle's wife was pregnant. I heard that she was tortured by my grandma, and then she was killed. My uncle was very angry with her and left the house."

Shen Nuanning's eyes widened slightly, "What about Liu Yan and her mother?"

"She was married later. However, my grandma did have a bad temper. I don't know how she was tormented, so she lost two lives at once. My grandma must also be very sad. Over the years, this matter has not been mentioned in the family. I'm afraid my grandma will be sad."

For this reason, grandma did not dare to persuade her uncle to go home, which would be harmful to both of them.

Shen Nuanning didn't have much to say.

The two separated, and Shen Nuanning did not forget to say, "Run more and exercise, you will not be able to eat anymore!"

This caused Liu Liu to glare at her angrily.

On the way from the county to home.

Shen Nuanning took out a lot of food and sugar from the space when no one was around. She had a lot of inventory in the space. She occasionally took out some to add to the family's meals. Children like to eat candy. She grabbed a handful of candy, and the village The children would surround her and fight for her.

Return to the village.

A child who had been waiting saw it and immediately shouted, "Aunt Ning is back!"

"Sister-in-law is back!"

Shen Nuanning began to take out candies from her pocket, "Sister-in-law, I want them too!"

A group of children as tall as her waist stretched out their little hands toward her, and she gave a few pills to each of them.

"Thank you, Auntie Ning!"

"Thank you, sister-in-law!"

After everyone left, Xiao Wu still stood there and called her sister-in-law sweetly.

Shen Nuanning took out a bag of sesame balls for him, which Liu Liu packed for her.

"Thank you, sister-in-law!"

Xiaowu also ran away.

Shen Dalang led his brothers to open up wasteland at the foot of the mountain.

Farmers depended on the land for their livelihood, and land was the most important thing. Therefore, Old Shen would urge the Shen brothers to go to the fields as long as they were not busy.

Old Shen was a good farmer. He found a piece of wasteland that was easy to open and started working on it.
