"I'm so confused! Madam is so cruel that she left Erya outside. Sigh... How will I face Erya in the future..."
Su Huanli walked back and forth in the house, thinking about strategies: "If Erya harbors resentment, the last 10% of Baiweilou's profit will be lost. No, even if I can't punish Madam and Zipei for this matter, I still have to give Erya adequate compensation... "
In Jinyuan, Su Li was squatting on the ground separating ingredients and poisonous weeds.
Just in case, she only mixed a small amount of poisonous weeds into the album, and did not list all the medicinal materials in the Poison Scripture. But even so, with these poisonous weeds, she could refine many gadgets.
As for Su Huanli, she didn't have enough time to care about him, so it was just a matter of convenience to make him feel uneasy. If she could use this to gain a greater advantage, that would be an unexpected surprise.
"Miss, I'm back."
A familiar voice came from outside. Su Li looked up and saw Nanny Li walking in hesitantly, carrying a basket and a few freshly picked lotus leaves in her hand.
"Miss, the lotus leaves are in full bloom in summer. I found it with almost no effort, but this yellow mud..."
Grandma Li opened the basket, revealing the wet yellow mud inside, and said with a strange look on her face: "The yellow mud is so dirty, can you really... cook?"
Su Li smiled slightly and did not answer, but just ordered: "Nanny, don't let the mud dry, so it won't stick. The lotus leaves need to be washed very clean. I'm almost ready here. Now, grandma, you go to town. Find a hen with a yellow beak, yellow feet, yellow feathers, a small head and a big body, fat and tender."
"Oh! I'll go right now, slave..."
Nanny Li quickly dealt with the lotus leaves and yellow mud, wiped her hands, and saw the old housekeeper waiting outside Jinyuan when she went out.
"Mother Li, if Second Miss needs anything, just let us know. There are many guards and they are powerful, so it will be easy to find anything."
When Grandma Li heard this, she was immediately pleasantly surprised and said, "That's really great. I was still worried about why I found such a strange hen."
"Hen?" Butler Li was very happy when he heard this. The second lady was indeed going to be the main course.
After receiving the instructions from Grandma Li, the entire Su family immediately started to operate. At the same time, the other two families also received the news immediately.
"Hen, in just a few days, the girl from the Su family has developed a new dish? If she were an ordinary woman, she would still be in shock of being assassinated."
Yang Li received the news and was filled with doubts.
"Yes, Dad, I heard that Su Zipei's nanny also went to pick lotus leaves and dig out yellow mud. No one knows what kind of dish Su Zipei wants to make."
Yang Wei immediately added from the side that he had made a big mistake regarding Baiweilou. If he didn't make up for it, even the head of the Yang family wouldn't be able to get his turn, let alone marry Su Erya!
"Hmph! When the dishes come out, they need to be approved by my Yang family and Zhu family, otherwise Su Huanli won't get a penny of the last 10% of the profit!"
Yang Li said, when he saw the bearish look on his eldest son's face, he suddenly got angry and cursed: "It's not enough to succeed but it's easy to fail! If it weren't for your boy's greed for beauty, how could Baiweilou let them two If you intervene, get out of here and reflect!"
Yang Wei was extremely afraid of his father, but after being yelled at like this, he immediately retreated in a fit of piss.
Yang Li sat in the empty hall and suddenly sneered, "You want to cook with yellow mud?! This yellow-haired girl who doesn't know the heights of the world really thinks of herself as a genius."
“It’s absolutely impossible to cook with yellow mud!”
The same voice sounded in the Zhu family. Butler Zhu said firmly, "Master, although the Su family used hens, if yellow mud is added to the chicken, who would want to eat it? I'm afraid even beggars would. I feel disgusting! The yellow mud is the biggest failure of this dish. After a few days of tasting and evaluation of the dish, it must be the failure of the Su family. The remaining 10% of the profit depends on how the master negotiates with the Yang family."
"Haha, it is so irrational for Su Huanli to put all his treasure on his daughter. How old is that little girl? After two consecutive lucky successes, I am afraid she has long forgotten who she is." Zhu Rongkun looked like he had pearls of wisdom in his hands. He said, "The Yang family is nothing to worry about. They sent killers recklessly before, which was inconsistent with morality. Of the last 10% of the profit, our Zhu family will get at least 70% of it!"
"My master is wise. After Su Zipei's failure, the cook I hired from the county should arrive. By then, I might be able to squeeze profits from the other two families!"
"Hahaha… "
The laughter of the master and the servant echoed in the main room.
…
But Su Huanli panicked when Su Li wanted to cook with yellow mud. Could it be that Erya really had hatred in her heart and wanted him to fail on purpose? !
Su Huanli's heart ached at the thought of losing all his precious money, and he rushed to Jinyuan regardless of the guilt in his heart.
At this moment, the sun is shining brightly.
The ground of Jinyuan is covered with various medicinal plaques, which make subtle popping noises from time to time under direct sunlight, filling the whole yard with a mixed fragrance.
Seeing this scene, Su Huanli felt a little relieved. At least Erya made good use of the ingredients he ordered people to find instead of throwing them away casually.
Under the green shade covered by vines, Su Li held a book in her hand and was studying it carefully. Although her recent practice of the fourth level of Guigu Ming Sutra went smoothly, she had many insights that she could not digest. Therefore, she could only postpone her practice progress and use reading to digest the inspiration. .
"Dad, why are you here?"
Seeing Su Huanli coming over, Su Li stood up and said with surprise.
Su Huanli exhaled, sat down at the stone table, and said in a deep voice: "Erya, tell me the truth, are you sure about the new dishes?"
Su Li pursed her lips and said nothing. Seeing that she had fallen silent, Su Huanli felt his scalp tighten and spoke faster:
"Erya, if you are still resentful because dad kicked you out of the house before, dad will compensate you for whatever you want! But you must not make any mistakes when it comes to new dishes. This is related to the future of the Su family! If we can really run Baiweilou, we will have enough strength to support your elder brother to go further in his official career, Erya, you must not be confused!"
"Dad, you misunderstood!"
Su Li waved her hands hurriedly, as if she was frightened by Su Huanli's tone, "My eldest brother told me what happened before. Now the misunderstanding has been explained clearly and I have been saved by my eldest brother. As a son and daughter of the Su family, how can I hold a grudge in my heart. It's just that the dish that the child wanted to cook was absolutely impossible without qualified hens, so the child didn't say anything."
"So you were worried about finding the right ingredients!"
Su Huanli was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized that the girl from home was still worried about the Su family. He was really worrying in vain.
"Erya, you really scared dad to death. It's just ingredients. Dad will find them for you even if he searches through the chicken coops in Dasu Town. Don't worry, dad will send more people right now!"
Su Huanli came worriedly and left as if he was beaten to death, which aroused the surprise of many guards.
Butler Li saw this and couldn't help but smile. The master was still so suspicious that he still refused to completely believe Erya at this time.
But... can Erya really put aside her past grudges and concentrate on working for the Su family
Even though the well-informed housekeeper Li thought he had seen Su Erya's true nature, he still had a big question mark in his heart. Because people change.
For several days, the three families of Su, Zhu, and Yang were looking for three yellow chickens, but they searched all over Dasu Town and could not see any of them.
"Could it be that Su Huanli is deliberately making things difficult for us? If he can't find the three-yellow chicken, he can still find an excuse even if he can't cook a popular dish?"
Yang Li couldn't help but guess, and immediately his heart changed, and he ordered: "Keep looking! If you can't find it in Dasu Town, go to the county town. If you can't find it in the county town, then Su Huanli must be playing a trick on me. Then I will definitely Collaborate with Zhu Rongkun to find an explanation from him!"
At this time, a servant suddenly broke in from outside and announced: "Sir, the three yellow chickens have been found!"
Yang Lilao's eyes widened, there really is such a hen.
In Jinyuan, Nanny Li held a clucking hen and said excitedly: "Miss, I found it! Look at its yellow mouth, yellow feet, yellow hair, small head and big body, exactly as the lady said .”
"Erya, what do you think of this chicken?" Su Huanli's eyes were bloodshot. It was obvious that he had not slept for several nights because he was looking for the hen.
Su Li touched the soft and shiny feathers of the three-yellow chicken. After a long moment, she nodded and said, "Not bad! It's the three-yellow chicken I want. Aunt Li, come and process the ingredients with me."
After saying that, Su Li turned to look at Su Huanli and said with concern: "Dad must be very tired these days, so why not take a break while the child is cooking. When the child is done, let Nanny Li call you up. What do you think?"
Su Huanli showed a pleased smile and said, "Erya still knows how to love daddy, okay! Daddy will go and rest now."
When Su Huanli left Jinyuan, his body was a little unstable. If he kept struggling for a few more days, he might get seriously ill.
In the kitchen, Su Li picked up the knife with a scared look on her face. After a while, she couldn't bring herself to do it. Aunt Li looked on and laughed. She had forgotten that the young lady had never killed anyone since she was a child.
"Miss, let me do it. Whatever you say, I will do it."
Grandma Li couldn't help but say. Su Li sighed with a pale face, handed the knife in her hand to the former, and said dejectedly: "Well, Grandma must be careful not to make any mistakes."
"Um!"
Following Su Li's instructions, Nanny Li quickly killed the hen, removed the feathers, then made a small opening through the back door of the hen, removed the internal organs, washed them, and placed the whole, clean chicken in front of Su Li.
After Su Li checked it, he warmly ordered: "Mommy, there is some seasoning I just ground on the table in the study. Go get it."
Aunt Li ran out of the kitchen without doubting his presence. Su Li's eyes flashed, and she immediately picked up the kitchen knife and quickly broke the hen's wings, leg bones, and shins with the back of the knife. There was no damage to the chicken skin.
"Miss, is this it?"
At this time, Nanny Li came back with a white porcelain bottle. Su Li took it with a smile and put it aside, "Yes, this is it."
Aunt Li was confused. Why did she bring it over but the young lady didn’t use it
