Chapter 52 Catching the Family Thief

It will take time to verify whether the formula is leaked.

As long as we wait for about ten days and see if Yue Lou can continue to introduce Yun Menglu's dishes, we will know whether the rumors are true or false.

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

After going into the cellar to take stock, we found that the number of Yun Menglu was not small. The only doubt was that the recent Yun Menglu seemed to be used up very quickly.

Two or three times, she felt that she had just taken out a new cup of Yunmenglu and used it up the next day. If the problem lies here, then Ayue and Ayun who have been staying in the back kitchen and Wugu who are helping in the kitchen are all suspects.

.

After deciding on the idea, Chu Yunmeng stepped up her management of Yun Menglu. Every day, she would cook the dishes herself. When the fire in the kitchen was turned off, she would lock Yun Menglu up again. At the same time, she took back the grains in the name of preventing Yun Menglu from leaking.

Key in hand.

Once bitten by a snake, she will be afraid of wells for ten years. In order to prevent the rice vinegar, dogwood powder and other seasonings from leaking out, she will put away all the seasonings after finishing the cooking.

After waiting like this for ten days, the storm of the Deyue Banquet in Deyue Tower has long since subsided.

Except for the introduction of dishes with the flavor of Yunmenglu two days after the Deyue Banquet, there was no news in Deyue Tower.

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

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

"What else are you doing here? I promised you that I would only do it once, but now my boss is very tight on me. If I'm found out, I won't be able to survive." Ah Yue kept complaining.

"I'll do it again, and if I succeed, I'll take you to the Deyue Tower to eat and drink, and you won't have to be a slave anymore. You'll have to be a lowly servant and do whatever you want." A low male voice came.

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of Ah Yue and the man acting coquettishly.

After hearing this for a while, Chu Yunmeng immediately walked away and made up her mind.

Two days later, while Chu Yunmeng was cooking, he called Wu Gu to take over because of his stomachache. Then he disappeared into the kitchen and did not come back for a long time.

Wu Gu had to take care of both the lobby and the kitchen, so he was in a hurry. But after the vegetables were fried, they had to be served, otherwise the taste would be affected. After making a decision, he walked out of the kitchen with the newly prepared cloud dew mushrooms and went to the front.

Hall.

As soon as the grains came out of the kitchen, Ah Yue, who had been washing vegetables nearby, stood up in a hurry, picked up the cup that had been prepared, and quickly poured Yun Menglu into her own cup, leaving only a little bit at the bottom. Then she pretended to wash vegetables again.

When the kitchen stalled again, Ah Yue sneaked out of Yunmengju and met the man on the street again.

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

Ah Yue's hand shook and the cup in her hand was about to fall to the ground. The man opposite had quick eyesight and quick hands to catch the cup.

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

"Shopkeeper Chu accuses you of stealing Yun Menglu. You all come with me to the Cheng Yin Mansion."

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

At the strong request of the sufferer Chu Yunmeng, the owner and shopkeeper of Deyue Tower were quickly invited to Cheng Yin Mansion.

The shopkeeper of Deyuelou was sweating profusely and hesitated when asked. The owner of Deyuelou had an angry look on his face and shouted that he wanted to fire the shopkeeper out of righteousness.

Chu Yunmeng watched quietly and snorted coldly: "Dong Li, how do you deal with Shopkeeper Wu? It's up to you to discuss it internally. Now it's you who have stolen Yunmenglu from Yunmengju. You sang that before.

He made a big show and said that he got the secret sauce and the relationship, and he still shouted about it everywhere, maybe he didn't regard it as his own thing."

"As the sufferer, my original request was to have Deyuelou hold a banquet for all the city's elders, clarify the truth, and apologize to Yunmengju."

"Impossible!" Li Dongjia blurted out.

"In that case, we might as well make a deal." Under Li Dongjia's puzzled eyes, Chu Yunmeng said slowly: "Deyuelou thinks so highly of Yun Menglu, instead of sneaking into some small tricks that won't last long, it's better to be upright.

Brightly purchase from me, Yunmengju.”

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

"Sign a contract for five hundred cups at a time, pay one gold per cup, and settle it once. All dishes using Yunmenglu must be named after Yunlu, and explain to diners that Yunlu is purchased from Yunmengju.

It is up to you to decide whether to renew the contract and the order quantity, but it is up to Yunmengju to decide whether to agree to it. But if he steals again, I can only ask Mr. Song to report it to the city Yin and make a public judgment.

"

Looking at the expressions on Li and Wu's faces, Chu Yunmeng said firmly: "Either apologize publicly, or buy Yunmeng Lu and start stealing again. I will never give up."

The faces of Li and Wu kept changing. After a long discussion, Dongjia Li finally nodded: "Okay, we will buy Yun Menglu and we will be married to you tomorrow."

"Li Dongjia, my Yun Menglu is worth a thousand dollars. It has never been seen on the market. You will definitely make a profit for one gold."

Chu Yunmeng said with a smile on her face: "In addition, I also give you a gift. Since Ah Yue wants to go to the Yue Tower so much, let her go with you after the two marriages are completed tomorrow."

In fact, it was very difficult for Chu Yunmeng to make the decision to abandon Ah Yue. After all, she did guard against her a lot and only asked her to do chores. Compared with the importance she attached to grains, the contrast was very clear. Anyone with a little ambition would be disappointed.

It is inevitable to be dissatisfied and even rebel.

But later on, she obviously changed. For her sensitive little thoughts, she even bought Ayun to share the chores. Why did she suffer such betrayal?

Even if you are angry and grievances, why can't you communicate your demands clearly in person? Using this as an excuse to commit betrayal is really unforgivable.

Once she was unfaithful, she would not dare to use it again.

Moreover, if it is not dealt with, Yunmengju will soon become a sieve. In the food field that pays great attention to unique formulas, Yunmengju will no longer have a place.

Not to mention finding where she came from, how she survives in this huge city of Ying is a problem; she might even be like Little Ye Zi and the others.

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

"Ah Yue, I know you may feel that I am not as kind to you as I am with you, so you feel betrayal. But he is different from you. He is my apprentice, a free man, and has talent. It is normal to have preferences. But what about you?

"Compared with female slaves from other families, I consider you to be half a sister, but you still do such unkind and unjust things." Chu Yunmeng burst into tears.

"My original plan was that when Yunmengju was more stable and you were about to start a family, I would let you go free. But, you disappointed me so much..."

Having said this, Chu Yunmeng quickly turned around and wiped away her tears with a cold tone: "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, you will follow me.

It’s no longer relevant.”

The next day, Deyuelou sent shopkeeper Wu to make a contract. After the two parties concluded the contract, Chu Yunmeng took out the remaining ten cups of Yun Menglu and collected a deposit of two hundred gold. It was agreed that the money and goods would be paid in half a month.

Fortunately, Chu Yunmeng had prepared it in advance, and the third batch of Yunmeng Lu brewed just finished fermenting ten days later. In addition to the 490 cups that were given to Deyuelou, there were nearly a hundred cups left.

After acquiring all the five hundred gold, Chu Yunmeng simply closed down his business for half a month to prepare for the next step.
