Jiujiu didn't expect that Wang Cuilian, who was so angry that she passed away because Li Qian lost Li Fugui's kitchen knife and cookbook, would say such words to her. It really surprised her.
Jiujiu's surprised expression was seen in Wang Cuilian's eyes. It just so happened that Jiujiu was secretly determined to open Drunken Spring Brothel.
If Jiujiu didn't have the slightest intention of opening Drunken Spring Brothel, even if Wang Cuilian chose to give it up because of her motherly love, she would still be a little unwilling.
But at this moment, Jiujiu sincerely wanted to open Drunken Spring Brothel, so Wang Cuilian gave it up very easily.
Jiujiu wanted to open Drunken Spring Brothel again, but Wang Cuilian didn't want to. This instantly put Jiujiu in a difficult position.
Wang Cuilian was her mother now, so her wishes were quite important.
Because of Wang Cuilian's unwillingness, Jiujiu could only think of a way to persuade Wang Cuilian to let her continue opening the restaurant.
Just as Jiujiu was thinking of how to persuade Wang Cuilian, the door was slammed loudly.
Along with the deafening sound, there was a burst of ear-piercing abuse. "Li Fugui, come out! Li Fugui, you ungrateful thing, come out! Even if I, Lin Guangye, have to fight to the death, I will uncover your true face, you hypocrite!"
Needless to say, this was Lin Guangye, who used reverse psychology to force Li Qian to compete with his daughter in cooking.
Although Li Fugui didn't mention it, Jiujiu was able to piece together the relationship between Lin Guangye and Li Fugui from Li Qian's memories based on Lin Guangye's curses and the rumors circulating in the streets.
Lin Guangye and Li Fugui both learned cooking from Lin Guangye's father.
Lin Guangye was smart, so as long as his father taught him something, he would be able to learn it in one go.
Li Fugui wasn't as smart as Lin Guangye, so he could only rely on constant practice to catch up.
In some aspects, intelligence could indeed bring him a lot of convenience. However, when it came to actual operations, no amount of cleverness could compare to practice.
In theory, Lin Guangye was indeed a hundred times better than Li Fugui. But when it came to cooking, Lin Guangye was at a disadvantage.
Lin Guangye panicked when he saw that the food he had painstakingly made was not as good as Li Fugui, whom he had never liked.
He began to anxiously try to improve his cooking skills through constant practice.
However, culinary skills were not something that could be saved if one did not work hard on a daily basis or cramming at the last minute.
No matter how hard Lin Guangye worked, his culinary skills were still lacking compared to Li Fugui's.
Lin Guangye's father, Chef Lin, only had Lin Guangye and Li Fugui as his disciples.
Although Lin Guangye was his own son, Chef Lin was not the kind of person who paid much attention to bloodline inheritance. Compared to Lin Guangye's petty cleverness, he preferred Li Fugui's steadiness and hard work. Therefore, he chose Li Fugui to be his successor.
Li Fugui had studied cooking under Chef Lin for fifteen years. After he finished his studies, he brought along the golden kitchen knife and recipe book that Chef Lin gave him and came to the capital alone.
When Li Fugui arrived in the capital, he did not have more than one tael of silver on him.
Li Fugui worked as a coolie, carrying burlap sacks. After working hard for half a year, he bought a small shop and started to open a restaurant.
It was just like how Li Fugui felt that with Li Qian's craftsmanship, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Li Fugui's culinary skills were so good that even the small restaurant was full of people.
When he had money, Li Fugui directly bought the house that he rented and expanded it bit by bit, slowly turning it into the current Drunken Spring House.
In terms of relationship, Jiujiu should call Lin Guangye Martial Uncle.
To Li Fugui, the golden kitchen knife and recipe book in his hands were given to him by Chef Lin.
But to Lin Guangye, Chef Lin was his biological father. Chef Lin's things were his things.
The golden kitchen knife and recipe book in Li Fugui's hands should be his. Li Fugui must have used some unknown and despicable method to deceive his father and make his father give him the golden kitchen knife and recipe book.
In the past, with Chef Lin suppressing him, Lin Guangye did not dare to be impudent. Some time ago, Chef Lin passed away from illness. Without anyone to suppress Lin Guangye, he immediately showed his true colors. After Chef Lin's death, he aggressively came to the capital to find Li Fugui.
He wanted to take back the golden kitchen knife and recipe book from Li Fugui.
In Lin Guangye's opinion, the reason why Li Fugui was able to change from a small chef to a big chef of Drunken Spring House was because of the golden kitchen knife and recipe book in his hands.
Without the golden kitchen knife and recipe book, Li Fugui would show his true abilities.
After Lin Guangye arrived in the capital, he asked around in all sorts of ways. He wanted to know himself and his enemy and win a hundred battles.
But what he did not expect was that not long after his father passed away, Li Fugui also died. Now, he only had a wife who did not know anything and a daughter who was only fourteen years old.
When ordinary people heard the news of Li Fugui's death, they would more or less have some compassion.
However, Lin Guangye didn't have the slightest bit of compassion. Instead, he felt that the reason why Li Fugui died was entirely because he snatched the recipe that shouldn't have belonged to him.
And now that Li Fugui and his father, Chef Lin, were dead, no one in the world would know the origin of Li Fugui's golden kitchen knife and recipe book.
Then, wouldn't everything be up to him to say?
If he wanted to say that Li Fugui was good, then Li Fugui was good. If he did not want to say that Li Fugui was good, then Li Fugui was a shameless and treacherous person.
Lin Guangye thought for a long time in his heart about how he would righteously snatch back the golden kitchen knife and recipe book. Only then did he bring Lin Xiao to break down the door.
Lin Guangye wanted to let the neighbors know that he was the true heir of the golden kitchen knife, so the sound of the door breaking was very loud. The sound of his shouting could even shatter people's eardrums.
But fortunately, Wang Cuilian had just drunk the medicine that Jiujiu brewed for her not long ago. Because Wang Cuilian had been restless recently, Jiujiu had specially added some sleeping ingredients, so Wang Cuilian had not woken up yet.
However, if Lin Guangye continued to break down the door like this, Wang Cuilian would definitely wake up.
Jiujiu quickly ran to the door and opened it. Looking at the people standing at the door, she said expressionlessly, "Who broke the door?"
Seeing that the person who came was a little girl who was still wet behind the ears, Lin Guangye only felt that his plan was in the bag in an instant.
Even if Li Fugui came, he would not be afraid, let alone this little girl.
As soon as Lin Guangye opened his mouth, Jiujiu saw Lin Guangye who was wearing a green cloth shirt and had a small mustache.
