“Pei, you cannot reveal your intentions or you will lose your last role in the family. Your father may ask you to get married immediately. If you can act like Su Erya when outside all the time, there is no need to worry about your marriage.”
What her mother warned rang through Su Zipei’s ears. Her cool reason returned.
At this time, her father said, “Zipei, you made many mistakes before, but I didn’t blame you. You need to do a good job in front of the Zhu and Yang Families this time. Don’t damage the reputation of our Su Family.”
As her father’s tone was mild, Su Zipei felt better and nodded obediently, “Daddy, rest assured. I will be careful.”
Seeing his obedient daughter, Su Huanli became more relaxed. Children will grow up sooner or later. After experiencing so many things, Zipei finally understood how to care for her family.
“Your Second Sister is intelligent and a rare genius. She will probably become a famous fe
Time passed as Su Erya studied Nothing Unusual.Finally, the Baiwei Building, decorated with lanterns and festoons, was ready for its grand reopening. As soon as the waiter opened the door, a large number of customers flooded in!The entire Baiwei Building had a different layout, after being refurbished under the cooperation of the three families. The large sign placed on the shopkeeper’s counter struck people most.“Beggar’s Chicken!”“Is that the new top dish?!”“Strange name.”The guests seated themselves and kept talking. Seeing the bottom of the sign, someone suddenly screamed, “Are you kidding me?! Fifty taels for a dish of Beggar’s Chicken? Shopkeeper, why don’t you rob someone else?”This scream attracted other guests’ attention. The noises of protest grew louder. Other guests began to scold.“What kind of chicken is worth fifty taels? It doesn’t cost that much money to sp
Hearing what the shopkeeper said, everyone was shocked. Wasn’t this delicious chicken the famous top dish?Are you kidding?The shopkeeper continued, “The real Beggar’s Chicken has strict requirements for the duration and degree of heating. Only when the miss of the Su Family, that is, the owner of the restaurant, spends a large amount of time cooking it by herself can the real dish be made. Unfortunately, the miss of the Su Family is still young. How much could she possibly make on her own? So, the miss figured out the way to reduce the process and increase the output. As a result, everyone just tasted the Beggar’s Chicken which is a less flavorful version.”“It turns out that the miss of the Su Family is a genius.” Mr. Zhou was moved to tears, “Such a chef! I hope to see her someday.”“Thus…”The shopkeeper pointed at the sign placed aside, “The price of the real Beggar’s Chicken at 50 taels isn’t high at all. Our re
The Baiwei Building was still as prosperous as it had been the day before. Su Zipei stayed in the restaurant all day and didn’t find an excuse to go back until night fell.When she arrived at the Su House, the sky was already dark. Su Zipei looked at the Jinyuan Court from afar and found that there were not many guards. She carefully hid herself and covered herself up with flowers and plants. After a few minutes, she ran quickly with her eyes flashing.In the darkness, a young guard saw the scene and hesitated to ask, “Captain, I just saw the Third Miss...”“Kid, only take charge of safety, and don’t involve yourself in other things. Are you clear?”The young guard touched his head and didn’t fully understand, but he did not jump out to stop the Third Miss’s way.“It was so easy to come out. It seems that Erya is not as valued by Dad as I imagined. Relaxing her nerves, Su Zipei crossed the cold and cheerl
The guests who came here for the Beggar’s Chicken looked on with folded arms. They had positive thoughts about Baiwei Restaurant before, but after hearing the quarrel, they instantly changed their minds.“I also think it’s expensive according to them...”“Yeah, the most expensive dish in Baiwei Building before was the Fragrant Rice. But now the price of the Beggar’s Chicken is ten times more than the Fragrant Rice.”“I’m getting cheated by this profiteer. Baiwei Building, give my money back!”“Baiwei Building, give my money back!”“Give my money back!”Under the push of a group of people who had ulterior motives, the crowd grew angrier. It was too noisy to eat for the guests on the second floor. They could only leave with disappointment.“Calm down please! Calm down please!”The manager of the restaurant was overwhelmed, pushed and shoved by the crowd, and nobody saw who threw the
Su Huanli was shocked and confused by the sudden trouble. He did not expect the source of this trouble to be other restaurants.“I was so angry that I became confused. Wu, forget about it.” Su Huanli sighed and patted the shoulders of the shopkeeper.Though Shopkeeper Wu was sad, he politely said, “You were too serious.”“From my point of view...” He Shi interjected, “There is no need to worry. People such as Mr. Zhou do not lack money, so they will not be bribed by other restaurants. So long as Miss Su performs normally tomorrow, she will surely win. Maybe our restaurant will gain more status.”Speaking of this, He Shi laughed, “I haven’t tasted the Beggar’s Chicken cooked by Miss Su. I really want to taste it.”Su Huanli was speechless and did not know what to say. Su Zipei, who was eavesdropping outside the door immediately turned overjoyed and shouted, “Daddy, what are you talking about?”He Shi looked
After four hours of roasting, everyone dozed off and even Su Huanli fell asleep with peace of mind. Only the seven chief cooks and He Shi who stood at the back of the kitchen still had a fixed gaze.He Shi’s face was extremely terrible looking, as a sense of deception and embarrassment filled his heart. He even began to doubt whether his original decision to change jobs was right or not.“Clang!”Fang Yuan knocked on gongs and drums, and everyone woke up immediately. Su Zipei struggled to lift the grill and removed the roasted Beggar’s Chicken from the grill on a plate.“I’m done!” Showing a lovely smile, Su Zipei’s clear voice resounded through the site, “Have a taste, seniors.”Mr. Zhou rubbed his eyes and saw that the color of the soil ball was darker than the usual dish the restaurant served. His eyes quickly brightened up, “Be Quick. Give it to everyone!”“Go ahead right now!” The shopkeeper urged Fan
Cooking was so easy for Su Li. She mastered both the cutting technique as well as duration and degree of heating so well that the eight judges sitting on the judging table, He Shi, and ordinary people standing behind to watch the scene of bustle, were all fascinated.“Her cooking can be described as natural and smooth. If she can practice martial arts, she may show an even higher level of talent...”Fang Yuan was fascinated. He was surprised to see a trace of harmony between man and nature in Su Li’s cooking.She used the same ingredients and the same steps. Yet the performance of the Third Miss and the Second Miss could be described as completely different. When people saw Su Li’s skillful handling of food materials, they could not help exclaiming and didn’t doze off for nearly six hours.“You have waited for too long.”Su Li put away the roasted Beggar’s Chicken and smiled sweetly, saying, “Can anyone help me knock i
When Su Li saw the restaurant was full of diners, she asked, “Uncle He, is everything okay?”He Shi smiled loudly, “Thanks to you, the restaurant business is pretty good. I earn more money than ever before...”“That’s good. I am here today for something else. I heard that Fang Yuan has a sister. The place where they live is not very safe. I see that a lot of helpers’ rooms are empty. I want to arrange a single room for them.”After He Shi heard these words, he was shocked and happy, “I see. That’s the reason why Fang Yuan wants to go home every day. I thought he was lazy. If you care about the restaurant helpers, and the restaurant will be prosperous in the future... Without further ado, I’ll call him here.”“Sorry to trouble you.” Su Li nodded and thanked him.After a while, He Shi smiled and walked to her together with Fang Yuan, who was confused.“Miss, I must go back to work. The kitchen is busy.” He S
