Facing Ye Fei's concerned inquiry, Jiang Yu felt a warmth and felt a little sore in his heart.

An An was sleeping peacefully in the house, and Ye Fei was finally attracted to this family.

At this moment, she felt extremely happy.

Early the next morning.

Ye Fei got up and after washing, he made breakfast, which was yesterday's leftovers.

He also mixed the uneaten rice with water to make porridge, and drank two large bowls of soup together.

The rest was placed on the steamer for Jiang Yu and An An to warm.

After finishing breakfast, Ye Fei found a wooden barrel, half of which was broken. Fortunately, there was no hole in the bottom of the barrel and some water could be put in.

Ye Fei took the eel out of the tank and put it in, and poured some water into it to keep it moist so as not to dry out.

As for the turtles, he put them in wooden basins and covered them with boards to prevent them from escaping.

A cart was filled to the brim.

Fortunately, most of the way to the county seat was downhill, so it wasn't very strenuous. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to push it because it was so heavy.

After fixing everything, and seeing that it was not too early for the sky to get dark, Ye Fei packed up and prepared to set off.

Walking along the mountain road, it took Ye Fei an extra hour this time.

There is no other reason.

Just when I was passing by a mountain col, I saw a dense bamboo forest not far away, and the growth of bamboo shoots was particularly gratifying.

Ye Fei couldn't help but pick up a few.

Not far away there was another patch of wormwood that had just sprouted. I couldn't hold it back and was delayed for another long time.

How could I let go of this dish that was delivered to my door?

By the time he arrived at Yun County with his things, it was already eight or nine o'clock.

The aunt at Qianmen Street thought he wasn't coming.

Seeing that Ye Fei's wife and daughter didn't come today, he couldn't help but ask.

"Why did you come alone today?"

"After selling vegetables all day yesterday, you know how hard it is."

It sounds like she was accusing Jiang Yu of not being able to bear hardships, but he stopped selling vegetables after a day.

Ye Fei smiled and said with a gentle expression when he mentioned his wife and children.

"She still has to take care of her children and do housework at home, so I can do that."

"Besides, no one works harder. Everyone has their own things they are good at."

When Ye Fei said this, the old aunt smiled brightly and said that Jiang Yu was lucky and Ye Fei was a capable person.

Ye Fei didn't say anything more, he just played with the dishes on the cart.

On the way here, Ye Fei quickly recalled the information from this period of time in his mind.

If he remembered correctly, Master Zhao from Zuixianju was researching new dishes during this time.

I finally worked out a new dish, but my ungrateful apprentice sold it out, so I turned around and gave the menu to Cyclamen across the street.

Cyclamen not only accepted the order, but also rushed to include this dish in the recipe before Master Zhao.

After he was discovered, he even accused Master Zhao of sending someone to steal the recipe.

For a time, the reputations of Master Zhao and Zui Xianju were affected.

This also led to Xu Yuan slowly replacing Zhao Youquan's position.

The main ingredients of the dish are eel and soft-shelled turtle.

Ye Fei heard the gossip later when he ate this dish in Cyclamen.

So this time he decided to rescue Master Zhao and use this line to realize his first step in making a fortune.

This time, good people will be rewarded.

...

Zuixianju's back kitchen.

Master Zhao was busy in the steaming kitchen, constantly turning the pot in his hand.

A group of people stood behind him, all wide-eyed to see what was in the pot.

Zhao Youquan's ability to take the helm in this drunken fairy house is not all due to his extraordinary cooking skills.

What's more important is that he has a spirit of research and develops new dishes every few months.

This also brings an endless stream of guests to Zuixianju, and the business is in full swing, which is enviable.

It was in the morning and there were not many customers in the store.

Zhao Youquan was not very busy and began to study new dishes.

This time he is going to make a dish, stir-fried with eel and soft-shelled turtle.

Since it is still in the research stage, he has to adjust every step, whether it is in terms of taste or meat quality, he has to accurately control it.

Several apprentices stood behind and looked at it very seriously. Xu Yuan even looked at the pot without blinking, with a more meaningful expression on his face.

Zhao Youquan was an upright person and did not hide his cooking. He was not worried about others saying that he was teaching his disciples to starve to death.

Just when he was almost fired, the steward came from the front hall and found him with an anxious look on his face.

"Master Zhao, go and have a look. There is a customer upstairs who wants to see you by name. He must be saying that there is something wrong with one of your dishes."

Hearing this, a group of people in the kitchen were stunned.

You must know that under Zhao Youquan, everyone can only say that it is delicious, and no one dares to say that there is something wrong with the food he cooks.

Sure enough, when Zhao Youquan, who was cooking, heard someone say this, his expression immediately changed.

He quickly put down the dish he was studying, handed it to his apprentice Xu Yuan, and followed the steward out of the kitchen.

Before leaving, I told you again and again to control the heat and just add a little salt.

Xu Yuan promised to be respectful on the surface, but when Zhao Youquan left, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

This was a plan they had prepared long ago.

It turns out that he had already made an agreement with the people from Cyclamen, and the new dish Zhao Youquan studied this time was his certificate of nomination.

When the several assistant cooks saw Zhao Youquan handing the dishes to Xu Yuan, they all felt hopeless and scattered to do their own things.

He also didn't forget to say a few nice words, hoping that Xu Yuan would be able to help him a bit after he succeeded Zhao Youquan.

Xu Yuan agreed with a smile, but in his heart he looked down on these people like him.

But when Zhao Youquan finished taking care of the things upstairs and returned to the kitchen, he saw all the cooks gathered around with ugly expressions on their faces.

Zhao Youquan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly walked in, pushing away the people watching the excitement.

I saw Xu Yuan standing there with a bewildered face, looking pitifully at Zhao Youquan who came back.

"Master, this dish seems to be smashed."

Zhao Youquan didn't believe that there could be something wrong with the dishes he carefully prepared.

Pushing Xu Yuan away, he took a pair of chopsticks, picked up a bite, and threw it into his mouth.

With just one mouthful, Zhao Youquan's face wrinkled up and he vomited it out quickly.

"Why is it so painful?"

No one had time to stop him, and everyone turned their faces away after hearing this.

Xu Yuan said with a bitter look on his face.

"Master, I don't know what's going on. I followed your instructions, added some salt and served it. I thought it was a dish master studied, so I wanted to try it out, and this is the taste."

The waiters on the side also rushed to help.

"Yes, when we saw him vomiting it up, we were very curious. Everyone was guarding it, and nothing went wrong. Why is it so painful that he can't import it?"

These words hit Zhao Youquan's heart.

Doesn't this mean that it's definitely not their fault? If you want to blame it, you can only blame his food.

The group of people in the kitchen had different thoughts, and Zhao Youquan had known it for a long time.

Now that the idea has come to his head, this matter must not be tolerated.
