Yunmeng Ballad: I opened a restaurant in the Warring States Period

Chapter 52 Catching a House Thief

Whether the formula leaked or not needs time to verify.

Just wait for more than ten days to see if Yuelou can continue to launch dishes with Yun Menglu, and then we will know whether the rumors are true or not.

And if Yun Menglu is lost, you have to check the number of Yun Menglu carefully.

Going into the cellar to check, the number of Yun Menglu has not decreased.The only doubt is that Yun Menglu seems to be using it very quickly recently.

Two or three times, she felt that she took out a new cup of Yunmenglu and used it up the next day.If the problem lies here, then A Yue and A Yun who have been staying in the back kitchen and Wu Gu who is helping in the kitchen are all suspects.

After making up his mind, Chu Yunmeng stepped up his management of Yunmenglu.Every day, she handles the spoon by herself, and when the fire is turned off in the kitchen, she will lock Yun Menglu again; at the same time, she takes back the key from Wugu's hand in the name of preventing Yun Menglu from leaking out.

Once bitten, twice shy.In order to prevent rice vinegar, cornel powder and other seasonings from leaking out, she will put away all the seasonings after cooking.

After waiting like this for ten days, the Deyue Banquet incident in Deyue Tower had already subsided.

Except for the two days after the Deyue Banquet, which tasted like Yunmenglu, there was no movement in Deyuelou.

Yunmeng was in the middle, while Chu Yunmeng saw that someone's complexion was getting worse and worse.

After a fire break in the back kitchen, she saw Ah Yue sneaking out of Yunmengju and meeting someone at the corner of the street.

"What else are you doing here? At the beginning, we agreed that we would only do it once, but now the boss is very strict. If I am found out, I will have no way to survive." Ah Yue complained endlessly.

"Take another shot. After I succeed, I will take you to Deyue Tower to eat and drink. You don't have to be a slave anymore, and you will be ordered around by others." A low male voice came.

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of Ah Yue and the man acting like a baby.

After listening for a while, Chu Yunmeng immediately walked away, making up his mind.

Two days later, in the middle of cooking, Chu Yunmeng called Wu Gu to take over on the grounds of a stomachache, and then disappeared in the back kitchen, not returning for a long time.

Wu Gu had to take care of the hall and cook at the back, so he was in a hurry.But after the dishes are fried, they have to be served, otherwise the taste will be affected.After making a choice between the two sides, he left the kitchen with the cloud dew mushrooms he had just made, and went to the front hall.

As soon as Wu Gu came out of the kitchen, Ah Yue, who had been washing vegetables, got up in a hurry, picked up the cup she had prepared earlier, and quickly poured Yun Menglu into her own cup, leaving only a little bottom.Then pretend to wash vegetables.

When the back kitchen turned off the fire again, Ah Yue sneaked out of Yunmengju, and met men on the street again.

As soon as she handed over the cup containing Yun Menglu, Song Butou appeared in front of her eyes.From behind came Chu Yunmeng's questioning: "Ah Yue, what are you doing?"

Ah Yue shook her hand, and the cup in her hand was about to fall to the ground.The man on the opposite side quickly caught the cup with quick eyesight and hands.

Song Butou was even more agile, grabbing the man's shoulder and blocking the way.

"Treasurer Chu sues you for stealing Yun Menglu, and you all come with me to Cheng Yin's Mansion."

The man's identity was quickly found out by Song Butou. He was the son of the shopkeeper of Deyuelou, and he was currently in charge of purchasing in Deyuelou.

Under the strong request of the suffering master Chu Yunmeng, the owner and shopkeeper of Deyuelou were quickly invited into Chengyin's mansion.

The shopkeeper of Deyuelou was sweating profusely and faltered when asked; the owner of Deyuelou was angry and clamored to kill relatives and fire the shopkeeper.

Chu Yunmeng watched quietly, and snorted coldly: "Boss Li, how you deal with shopkeeper Wu should be discussed internally. Now it is you Deyuelou who stole Yunmenglu from Yunmengju. You sang such a song before." There is a big show, saying that it is the secret sauce that I got, and the feelings are so obtained, and I still yell around, I am afraid that it is not my own thing."

"As the sufferer, my original request was to have Deyuelou feast all the elders in the city, clarify the truth, and apologize to Yunmengju."

"Impossible!" Li Dongjia blurted out.

"That being the case, then we might as well make a deal." Under Li Dong's puzzled eyes, Chu Yunmeng said slowly: "Deyuelou thinks highly of Yunmenglu so much, it's better to be upright than to secretly engage in some small tricks that won't last long." Brightly buy from me, Yunmengju."

Shopkeeper Wu's face suddenly showed joy, and he nodded fiercely towards Li Dong's family.But Chu Yunmeng's next words extinguished half of his joy.

"Sign a contract of five hundred cups at a time, one gold per cup, and one settlement; all dishes using Yunmenglu must be named after Yunlu, and explain to the diners that Yunlu is purchased from Yunmengju.

It is up to you to decide whether to renew the contract and how much to order, but Yunmengju has the final say on whether to agree.But if there is another theft, I can only implore Song Butou to report to Cheng Yin and make a public judgment. "

Looking at the expressions on the faces of Li and Wu, Chu Yunmeng was decisive: "Either apologize publicly, or buy Yunmenglu, and then steal, and never let it go."

The faces of Li and Wu kept changing, after discussing for a long time, Li Dongjia finally nodded: "Okay, we will buy Yunmenglu, and we will settle the deal with you tomorrow."

"Boss Li, my Yunmenglu is hard to buy. It has never been found in the market. You definitely earned a piece of gold."

Chu Yunmeng smiled but didn't smile: "In addition, I will give you a gift. Since Ah Yue wants to go to Deyue Tower so much, let her go with you after the payment is settled tomorrow."

In fact, Chu Yunmeng made the decision to abandon Ah Yue very difficult.After all, she does guard against her a lot, and only asks her to do some chores. Compared with the emphasis on grains, the contrast is very sharp. People with a little bit of enthusiasm will inevitably be dissatisfied, and even rebellious.

But later she obviously changed. For her sensitive thoughts, she even bought Ayun to share chores. Why did she suffer such betrayal instead?
Even if you are angry or injustice, can't you communicate clearly your appeal face to face?It is really unforgivable to use this as an excuse to betray.

She was unfaithful once, and she dared not use it again.

Besides, if nothing is done, Yunmengju will soon become a sieve.In the field of diet that is very particular about unique recipes, Yunmengju will no longer have a place.

Not to mention finding where she came from, how she survived in this huge Yingdu is a problem; she might even be the same as Xiao Yezi and the others.

So no matter how Ah Yue begged, Chu Yunmeng would not let go.

"Ah Yue, I know that you may feel that I treat you less than Wugu, which is why you feel betrayed. But he is different from you. He is my apprentice, he is free, and he is also talented. It is normal to have a preference. But what about you? Compared with the female slaves of other families, I think I have already treated you as a half-sister, and you still do such inhumane things." Chu Yunmeng burst into tears.

"My original plan was to let you go free when Yunmengju is more stable and you want to start a family. But, you let me down so much..."

Speaking of this, Chu Yunmeng quickly turned around and wiped her tears, her tone was cold: "When you leave, I will give you a sum of money. This is my last kindness to you. From now on, whether you are good or bad, follow me Irrelevant any more."

The next day, Deyuelou sent shopkeeper Wu to sign the contract. After the two parties concluded the contract, Chu Yunmeng took out the remaining ten cups of Yunmenglu, charged a deposit of two hundred gold, and agreed that the money and goods would be settled in half a month.

Fortunately, Chu Yunmeng prepared it in advance, and the third batch of Yunmenglu brewed just happened to be fully fermented ten days later.In addition to the 490 cups to be given to Deyuelou, there are nearly a hundred cups left.

After getting all the five hundred gold, Chu Yunmeng simply shut down for half a month to prepare for the next step.
