Cooking was not difficult for Su Li at all. Whether it was the knife skills or the heat, they were all mastered to the peak. The eight people sitting on the judges' seats, He Shi and the ordinary people standing behind to watch the fun were all fascinated.
"It turns out that cooking can also be described as smooth. If she practices martial arts, maybe she will be more talented …"
Fang Yuan was fascinated. He even saw a trace of the realm of the integration of nature and human beings from Su Li's cooking. He couldn't help but be surprised.
The same ingredients, the same steps. The performance of Su Zipei and Su Li could be described as heaven and earth. When people saw Su Li's ingenious handling of ingredients, they couldn't help but exclaim. No one dozed off for nearly three hours.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Su Li put the roasted Beggar's Chicken and turned back with a sweet smile. She said, "Who can help me knock it open? I'm a little tired. I'm afraid that I can't master the strength well."
As soon as she said that, a group of waiters all looked at Fang Yuan. Although they couldn't wait to fly to the Second Miss immediately, they didn't have the skills. So, they didn't want to make a fool of themselves in front of the Second Miss.
Fang Yuan's face turned red. He walked forward and picked up the hammer without saying anything.
"It turns out that you are really here. I also asked the mammy to inquire about your whereabouts."
Su Li said softly. Fang Yuan's ears turned red and the hammer almost missed. He knocked the mud shell and ran away. It seemed that he was running away.
Everyone had been firmly attracted by the fragrance and didn't notice the small movements of the two.
This was a fragrance that was enough to make people lose their minds!
"I'll do it first!"
Mr. Zhou was drooling. He rushed to the table and cut off most of the chicken with a knife.
"Shameless!"
The other seven chefs suddenly became angry and rushed to grab it together. The scene suddenly became chaotic. The ruffians in the crowd didn't remember to continue to bewitch people. They rushed to grab the chicken that was still steaming.
"Guards, I'm going to be crushed to death!"
Fortunately, the constables were strong-willed and soon separated the crowd. Looking at the dirty Beggar's Chicken that had fallen on the ground, everyone couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Now, no one has anything to eat."
Mr. Zhou almost cried. A beggar's eyes lit up. He struggled to break free from the constable's restraint. In the exclamation of the crowd, he directly picked up the Beggar's Chicken on the ground and ran away, leaving only the lingering fragrance lingering in the nose.
"Senior Zhou, you don't have to do this." Su Li stood out and seemed to be scared by the scene just now. She said in a timid voice, "I remember that Mr. Zhou ranked first in the order of the precious Beggar's Chicken. Tomorrow I will make a precious Beggar's Chicken and send it to you. "
Mr. Zhou was overjoyed. "Thank you, Miss Su. I'll go back and wait for your good news."
"After seeing Miss Su Li today, I know that there is always someone better than me. The seven of us are convinced. If there's a chance in the future, we hope to learn from Miss Su. "
The seven chefs came over and said with a smile. Su Li hurriedly saluted, "I dare not. Su Li is young. I should ask you for advice."
"Hahaha …" The seven of them laughed heartily upon hearing such compliments.
After exchanging some pleasantries, the disturbance in the restaurant completely subsided, and the chefs of the restaurant took their leave.
The simple and honest man didn't say anything and left with a face of regret. In front of the absolute delicacies, no conspiracy or trick could bring down the Baiwei Building. In addition, there was a cooking genius who was as beautiful as a fairy … The task given by the county magistrate was a complete failure.
The next day, the Baiwei Building reopened and the business was more prosperous.
Many waiters found that there were many childes who came to the restaurant for dinner. These childes looked around when they came in and were absent-minded when they ordered dishes. It was obvious that they had ulterior motives.
The shopkeeper smirked and took these childes to order all the signature dishes. When they were impatient, he explained, "Childes, the miss of the owner of the restaurant usually studies at home and occasionally comes to the restaurant. Now the miss is not here. I'm afraid that you will be disappointed. "
Although those childes didn't like it, they pretended to be generous and said that it didn't matter and they would come again another day. The shopkeeper also took the opportunity to get a lot of benefits. He was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth all day long.
Su Li became busier. She practiced and read in the morning and cooked in the afternoon. She didn't have time to check the operation of the restaurant until the evening. But even so, she would personally check the accounts of the restaurant every day and then give them to Su Huanli.
Su Huanli regretted that he impulsively handed over the management of the restaurant to Su Li that day. But when he found that the business of the restaurant became better than before, he immediately felt lucky.
In addition, Su Li submitted the accounts every day, which made Su Huanli feel that everything was under control. With someone doing chores for him, he was much more relaxed and had more time to care about the operation of the silk store.
By the way, because of the relationship between the restaurant, the cooperation of the three families became closer. In addition, some people deliberately flattered Su Li because of her beauty. The silk store of the Su Family also opened a new way and the business was much better.
After the business of the restaurant stabilized, Su Li added the Fried Glutinous Rice Balls with Sesame to the dishes of the restaurant. The price was still three hundred copper coins. This move immediately won the praise of the people in the Dasu Town.
"I haven't eaten the Fried Glutinous Rice Balls with Sesame for a long time. Miss Su is really fast."
"I thought that the price of the Fried Glutinous Rice Balls with Sesame would be higher. I didn't expect that the price was not increased. Miss Su is really conscientious in doing business."
"Our Dasu Town is really blessed to have such a person as Miss Su. The delicious food here is much more than that in other towns!"
"…"
For a time, there were voices of praise for Su Li everywhere. Su Li's fame and prestige both soared. If it was in the past, people in the Dasu Town did not know that there was such a person as Su Li. But now, if someone said that he did not know Su Li, he would be despised by others. The change before and after could be seen.
After finishing this thing, Su Li kept a low profile. She read and learned to read every day and tried not to show her face when she went out. Qi Xianqing, who had been observing in the dark, could not help but praise her.
In many praises, she was neither arrogant nor impetuous and still lived like an ordinary person. Even those adults who had been through hardships in Jianghu might not be able to do that. But his little apprentice did it!
He could die in peace to have such an excellent apprentice in his old age.

"Miss, the shopkeeper sent the accounts."
One afternoon, Mammy Li came in and shouted.
Speaking of which, she was the one who had the most comfortable time of the month. Since the miss took over the restaurant, her status among the mammies also rose sharply. She had a tendency to surpass the personal mammy of the First Madam. Now, those maids who used to roll their eyes when seeing her would all stop and respectfully call her Mammy Li.
Although she did not understand how such a big piece of meat of the restaurant came into the hands of the miss, it did not prevent her from being happy for the miss. Now, the First Madam could no longer bully the miss.
In the room, Su Li stopped humming and put away the Poisonous Sound Insect. Then she said, "Let him in."
Hearing this, the flattering shopkeeper immediately put on a smile and went to Su Li to present the account book.
"Miss, this is the account of the restaurant today. Please have a look."
Su Li took it and turned it page by page. The study was extremely quiet. The shopkeeper did not know why he suddenly felt uneasy.
Even the Old Master could not see it. Second Miss … could not see it?
"Shopkeeper Wu."
Su Li suddenly said. The shopkeeper was shocked and quickly replied, "I am here!"
Su Li smiled gently and said, "Shopkeeper Wu, don't be nervous. Speaking of which, you have worked for our Su Family for less than three months. "
"Miss, you are right." Shopkeeper Wu was relieved and said with a smile, "My former boss is Minister Li."
"The restaurant is very busy these days, and I have schoolwork. Shopkeeper, you have worked hard. " Su Li apologized, "I remember that your monthly salary is no more than twenty taels. I can give you ten taels. What do you think?"
Shopkeeper Wu was overjoyed and kowtowed again and again, "Thank you, Second Miss. Second Miss, you are really the reincarnation of Buddha!"
"Shopkeeper Wu, you don't have to do this. I have also made comments on the account book. You can send it to my father." Su Li handed out the account book. Shopkeeper Wu quickly took it with both hands and left respectfully.
After Shopkeeper Wu left, Mammy Li sighed, "Fortunately, Shopkeeper Wu is here. Otherwise, you will have a hard time."
Su Li nodded slightly, but her smile was inexplicably meaningful.
Shopkeeper Wu retreated to the outside of the Jinyuan Court, and the joy on his face gradually faded.
"It's just ten taels … Do you really think I will be grateful?"
Shopkeeper Wu looked sullen. It was really shameful for him to bow to a teenage girl.
After wandering in the Su House for a while, Shopkeeper Wu calmed himself down and put on a smile again. Then he hurried to the Main Courtyard.
Su Li tidied up the table and got up to inform Mammy Li. Then she took the carriage specially arranged by the Su House to the town as usual.
The weather was slightly hot, and there were blooming rape flowers along the road. Su Li lifted the curtain of the carriage and gently leaned on the back of the chair. There was a rare trace of tiredness in her black eyes.
During this time, Zhu Yan and Su Zipei were completely quiet and well-behaved. Su Li didn't know whether they were too shocked before or they had other plans. However, according to the old butler, Zhu Yan still went out from time to time. But no matter how they investigated, they couldn't find her whereabouts.
"Compared with the Zhu Family, the foundation of the Su Family is still too weak."
Su Li put one hand on the edge of the window, and her slender fingers gently tapped the window, making a "dong dong" sound. Her eyes flickered, and no one knew what she was thinking.
When they arrived at the Dasu Town, the carriage stopped at the back door of the Baiwei Building. Su Li calmly walked into the Baiwei Building. When the helper who was adding firewood to the boiler saw her, he immediately stood up and wiped his face. Then he respectfully and loudly said, "Hello, Second Miss!"
"Hello, Second Miss!"
"…"
Along the way, every helper deliberately stopped to salute. Su Li always responded with a faint smile. Those helpers immediately worked harder as if they were injected with chicken blood.
It was not simply because of her beauty. On the second day when Su Li took charge of the Baiwei Building, she not only immediately issued a month's salary, but also doubled the salary of all helpers.
"Second Miss, you are here!"
He Shi wiped his hands and came out of the kitchen. He shouted enthusiastically with respect and even reverence on his face.
This month, he asked Su Li for a lot of cooking skills. He found that every word Su Li said seemed simple, but it could bring him infinite inspiration. She was a real master of cooking! Compared with her, his realm was really too low.
