The next day, Lin Yuelan took Xiao Twelve to the town early in the morning.
Little Twelve carried some prey on his back.
These prey were brought from Houshan these days. Some of them were kept, but they still couldn't finish it. Therefore, Lin Yuelan planned to give some to Yuelai Inn for free.
Anyway, it's a partner, and it's not worth much. I gave it to Yuelai Inn, and I gave it some favors, so I was a little happier.
Lin Yuelan and Little Twelve went to town in their ox cart.
Back then, when Lin Yuelan bought a cow from the town, the people of Lin Village were both envious and jealous.
This dead girl, these days are really getting better and better, and in a short period of time, I bought a cow.
These days, buying a cow is much more expensive than buying a person.
For example, buying a strong servant costs 22 taels of silver, but buying a cow costs at least 30 taels of silver, which is still the kind of cattle that has some problems or is not of good quality.
A slightly better cow would cost forty or fifty taels of silver, so people in the countryside would never be able to buy this cow in a lifetime.
Lin Yuelan's original intention of buying cattle was to open up wasteland. However, Ning'an Town is a little far away from Linjia Village, and relying on 11 carriages every day makes Lin Yuelan feel a little tired. Make yourself tired.
The two put the bullock cart, and then, directly carrying the prey, they came to the Yuelai Inn.
As soon as she saw Lin Yuelan, the shopkeeper greeted her and said with a smile, "Miss Lin is here!"
This shopkeeper is no longer the shopkeeper last time.
Last time, the shopkeeper caused Liu Qi to check the accounts because of Xiao Er's humiliation of the guests. As a result, it was found that the shopkeeper had deducted a lot of money. How could such a person who is not a bad person be the shopkeeper of the Yuelai Inn.
Liu Qi dismissed the shopkeeper without hesitation, as well as the junior.
This new shopkeeper is actually the director of other industries in the Liu family, but Liu Qi directly transferred him to be the shopkeeper.
Lin Yuelan had been here once before, and the shopkeeper knew that this girl was on good terms with the young master's family, so she was more close and ingratiating.
Immediately, his eyes were aimed at the prey raised in Little Twelve's hands.
Lin Yuelan pretended not to see Shopkeeper Liu's eyes, and asked lightly, "Manager Liu, has your young master come over?"
The Liu family's industry is not only the restaurant of Yuelai Inn, but also other industries. Liu Qi only comes over occasionally.
Shopkeeper Liu said with a smile, "Has the young master come over? However, the eldest lady also came, arguing that the eldest young master Yue went to buy jewelry."
Lin Yuelan nodded, indicating that she understood.
She motioned to Little Twelve to hand over the four pheasants and the four hares to Shopkeeper Liu and said, "Manager Liu, these are pheasants and hares that were caught from the bottom of the mountain, please accept them."
For fresh wild animals, Yuelai Inn rarely refuses to accept them, and the price is fair.
Shopkeeper Liu immediately motioned to Xiao Er, took the things in Xiao Shi's hands, put them in the kitchen, and waited for the guests to order.
According to the time it is only ten o'clock in the morning, there should be no guests or very few guests coming to eat so early.
But Lin Yuelan looked at the hall, every table was full of people, and from time to time someone shouted, "Little Er, let's have a share of braised carp!"
"Okay, guest officer, wait a moment!"
"Little Er, have a crucian carp soup!"
"A sweet and sour fish!"
...
Almost all the people in the living room are ordering fish.
Is this fish so delicious? Before lunch time, I came to eat fish.
Seeing Lin Yuelan's somewhat puzzled eyes, the shopkeeper Liu immediately stepped forward and explained, "Since knowing that this fish can be made so delicious, many people originally came to eat fish with a try, but they didn't expect that once they eat it, a lot of fish will be eaten. People fall in love with the taste of this fish."
As he said that, Manager Liu's eyes were also fixed on the various fish on the guests' table, and he said excitedly, "Later, more and more people know that the fish made by Yuelai Inn is simply delicious on earth. , the price is a bit expensive, but it is fair, but each dish is limited to 50 servings per day, many people want to eat, but can only wait for the next day. Therefore, some people want to eat the fish of the day. , will come to line up early in the morning.”
He had lived half his life and had never seen this business do that, and do it so well.
It is sold in limited quantities every day, and the supply exceeds demand every day. Every day, it arouses the curiosity and appetite of the guests, and there is a feeling of never getting tired of eating.
In this way, sales can be maintained every day, and profits have grown exponentially.
If it is not limited to sell every day, how many are sold, the guests must not be new to these dishes, and they will soon tire of eating such dishes.
Such a sales method is really unheard of for them.
Lin Yuelan nodded and said, "Well, it looks good."
Shopkeeper Liu said with a smile, "Yes, it was Miss Lin's good idea that made Yuelai Inn's business more and more prosperous."
Lin Yuelan smiled and said, "Manager Liu, you really know how to talk!"
Shopkeeper Liu smiled but should not.
After a while, Shopkeeper Liu immediately thought of something, and then asked a little ingratiatingly, "Miss Lin, that soy sauce is almost gone now, look..." When will you bring the soy sauce over?
Lin Yuelan nodded and said, "I'm here to deliver soy sauce today."
As she said that, she took out a porcelain jar and bottle from her bag and handed it to Shopkeeper Liu, "I think it's almost the same."
Shopkeeper Liu took it over and was about to say something when suddenly there was a commotion in the hall.
"Ouch, my stomach hurts, my stomach hurts..." A man with dark skin, a thin body, and frowning eyes suddenly rolled on the ground while covering his stomach, and shouted, "Ouch, it hurts to death, this The fish is poisonous, this fish is poisonous, I am poisoned..."
When he shouted, all the guests in the hall looked at the man rolling on the ground in surprise, and some of the guests holding chopsticks did not dare to use them.
"Everyone, don't eat it, this fish is poisonous, this fish is poisonous..." The man kept yelling, full of anger, "This store is hurting people, and it even used poisonous fish for me to eat!"
Everyone put down their chopsticks in unison.
Shopkeeper Liu walked towards the poisoned person, lowered his head and asked, "This guest, what's the matter with you?"
When he saw the person clearly, Shopkeeper Liu's expression changed slightly, but he remained polite!
"What else can you do?" the man replied loudly, "I've eaten the fish here, and now I have a stomachache, your fish must be poisonous! Your hearts are so dark, you even brought poisonous fish to the guests!"
Lin Yuelan also walked forward and stood next to Shopkeeper Liu, with a sneer on her lips, and looked at the troublemaker coldly.
After listening to the shopkeeper Liu, he immediately said solemnly, "This guest, every fish in the Yuelai Inn is a carefully selected carp, crucian carp, grass carp and large head carp. These four species of fish are not unique. With any poison. Where does this poisonous fish come from, let the guests eat it?"
Although the road to eating fish has already been started, Lin Yuelan only let Yuelai Inn get these fish first, and after the guests are bored, basically every cycle is 15 days, and then other kinds of fish will be added step by step.
After the poisoned person heard the words of shopkeeper Liu, the pain became even more severe.
He still covered his stomach with one hand and shouted loudly, "Oh, oh, it hurts me, it hurts me. I don't care if your fish is poisonous or not, but I just ate the fish in the inn. , your stomach hurts, your fish is poisonous. What a black-hearted shopkeeper!"
Shopkeeper Liu looked at the very clean and empty plates on the dining table, and he had a problem in his heart.
It seems that this is not really poisoning at all, but purely to cause trouble.
Shopkeeper Liu continued to ask, "Then what do you want for this guest?"
The man answered quickly and said, "Compensation, must be compensated!"
In order not to disturb other guests, Mr. Liu nodded and said, "That's fine, I'll give fifty copper coins. Little Er, go to the counter and get fifty coins, and show this guest a doctor to prescribe painkillers. "Fifty coppers are actually enough.
"Okay!" Xiao Er responded immediately. Then, he quickly took out fifty copper plates from the counter, walked up to the man, and said, "Guest officer, here it is!"
As soon as his face darkened, he roared at the shopkeeper Liu, "How about you beggars? Fifty copper coins are not enough to order a fish from your place! Hmph, I'll say you are a black-hearted black shop. The guests eat fish. Poisoned, just thought of fifty copper coins and sent you away, you let everyone comment, is there any reason for this?"
Some unidentified guests nodded, expressing their agreement with what they said.
Shopkeeper Liu immediately asked seriously, "Then how much do you want to compensate this guest officer?"
The man held out a hand.
"Five taels?" Liu shopkeeper asked.
"You sent the beggars back, five taels, five hundred taels!" the lion shouted angrily.
As soon as his words came out, everyone gasped.
Five hundred taels, he really dared to open this mouth.
He was not made of gold and silver, and he even asked for five hundred taels of compensation, and if he had paid five taels, he had already been extorted an exorbitant price.
You know, three taels of silver is enough to feed a large family for half a year.
"After losing the money, you Yuelai Inn will apologize publicly, and you will not be allowed to make fish from now on. Otherwise, I will come here every day to make trouble and let everyone in Ning'an Town know that the fish in this Yuelai Inn is poisonous. Let's see if anyone else comes to eat here!" the man said threateningly.
Shopkeeper Liu was simply amused by this shameless guest.
He didn't get angry but smiled and said, "Oh, this guest officer, it seems that you haven't understood what I said before. Okay, let me say it again, the only fish sold by Yuelai Inn are carp, crucian carp, grass carp and big head. Fish, tell me, are these fish poisonous?" The second half of the sentence was asked of all the guests.
"Everyone has been eating these fish for half a month, and no one has heard of poisoning? Why after half a month, someone was so angry that they shouted that they were poisoned. Not only did the lion ask for five hundred taels of compensation, I also want Yuelai Inn to apologize, and what is even more irritating is that it is clearly stated that Yuelai Inn is not allowed to make fish anymore.
How ridiculous! "
The shopkeeper Liu said plausibly, and the guests in the hall whispered to each other, and immediately understood that someone was framing the Yuelai Inn!
Soon, someone stood up and said, "The shopkeeper, I have eaten fish here for more than half a month, whether it's carp, crucian carp, grass carp or big head carp, look at me, don't I stand here well? ? Guys, are you like this too?"
"Yes, I also ate fish here for more than ten days. Not only did nothing happen, but I found that my body became better and stronger."
"Yeah. I found my body the same way."
...
The guests in the hall, your words, and my words, have unanimously proved that the fish made by Yuelai Inn is not poisonous at all.
The man looked at the noisy hall, and the situation became more and more unfavorable for him. As soon as he gritted his teeth, he simply lay on the ground and rolled on the ground, and continued to curse, "This black-hearted man, he was poisoned after eating his food. Contrasting black and white, to slander me as a victim..."
Rolling over and over again, screaming and screaming in pain, all of them wanted to prove that he was indeed poisoned by the Yuelai Inn.
For such a rogue, shopkeeper Liu has a black line on his forehead.
Just when she was about to report to the official, Lin Yuelan suddenly stood up.
She squatted down very much, with a worried face, and said to the man, "Uncle, do you really hurt?"
"Ouch..." the man shouted loudly, "Little sister, uncle hurts so much, uncle hurts so much!"
Lin Yuelan nodded, then took the man's hand, made a gesture of feeling the pulse, and then put his hand down, and then she said very seriously, "Well, uncle, you are indeed poisoned, and The poison in it is very powerful, and the poison is about to erode the internal organs."
As soon as Lin Yuelan's words came out, everyone in the hall was stunned.
Even more puzzled is the shopkeeper Liu.
He walked to Lin Yuelan's side and whispered to Lin Yuelan, "Miss Lin, this person is obviously deliberately set up to frame the Yuelai Inn. He is screaming stomachache now, it must be fake, how could he be poisoned?"
Lin Yuelan also whispered back, "Treasurer Liu, don't worry, just wait and watch the play!"
Although the shopkeeper Liu was a little suspicious, he knew that this little girl Lin Yuelan was a smart child with ideas. Since she said so, then he should wait and watch the play.
When the man heard Lin Yuelan's words, he immediately panicked.
He was not poisoned, he knew in his heart.
However, when the giant poison in his body was revealed from another mouth, he suddenly panicked.
But when he thought of the five hundred taels of silver, he immediately echoed in shock and said, "What, am I so deeply poisoned now?"
Those who were watching the theater were very suspicious.
They had already heard of Lin Yuelan's name.
In addition to being a Hercules, Lin Yuelan is also the nemesis of Kefke's relatives, and it has spread all over the city in this small Ning'an town.
However, they have never heard that this child is good at medicine.
A guest stood up and asked suspiciously, "Miss Lin, you're not just smack, right? You obviously don't understand medicine."
Immediately, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the man, and said, "Look at this man, except covering his stomach, shouting that his stomach hurts, he is full of anger, and his face is no different from ordinary people. At first glance, he is pretending to be poisoned, okay. The rogue who corrupts the money of the inn!"
In fact, among these guests, their hearts are also clear.
Knowing that this person wants to corrupt Yuelai Inn's money, but also to ruin the reputation of Yuelai Inn, to prevent Yuewei Inn from making fish, just to prevent Yuewei Inn from stealing the business of other inn restaurants.
Therefore, it is obvious that this person was sent by the opponent of Yuelai Inn.
It's just that, these customers, of course, won't say it.
Lin Yuelan shook her head and said, "No, I'm studying medicine now. Although I can't see those incurable diseases, I can still treat some minor illnesses and pains. However, this person is quite special. His pulse It's very disorderly, and it seems to be going back to the west at any time. Therefore, I conclude that he is deeply poisoned. If the toxin is not excreted in time, it is very likely that he will not wake up in the next moment."
If you can't wake up, you're dead.
This is self-evident!
"Impossible!" The man screamed in panic and panic, "I'm obviously not poisoned, why can't I wake up at any time?"
As soon as his words fell, the whole hall was silent!
By the time he had reacted to what he had said, it was too late to cover his mouth.
"Oh, uncle, it turns out you're not poisoned!" Lin Yuelan nodded knowingly, "Actually, I just said it casually. Because, some time ago, I saw a patient with the same stomach pain as you in Dr. Lin's office. , and then, Doctor Lin told him that he might die at any time. I thought that was the case with you, so I'll just tell you what Doctor Lin said!" Doctor Lin is the shopkeeper of the Lin family pharmacy.
As soon as Lin Yuelan's words fell, there was a quiet crowd in the hall. After being stunned for a moment, the hall immediately burst into laughter.
"Haha, interesting!"
"Haha, this girl Lin is really smart. She can think of such a way without self-introduction. It's really high!"
"Oh, it's just a pity. Such a smart and capable girl is a nemesis. Otherwise, it would be a blessing for any man to marry."
...
When the man who pretended to be poisoned reacted, he immediately got up from the ground, and shouted to Lin Yuelan in anger, "You **** girl, let you ruin my good deeds, see if I don't teach you a lesson, you don't even know about me, uncle. Great!"
After speaking, he stretched out his legs and kicked Lin Yuelan's stomach, as if he wanted to kick Lin Yuelan to the ground.
Others looked at it and immediately exclaimed, a little worried.
After all, this little brat is an adult, and Lin Yuelan is a child. If she kicks it down, it will cost her half her life if she doesn't die.
"bump!"
Contrary to what everyone expected, the person who fell and lay on his back was a small yakusan.
"good!"
At this moment, they remembered that this child has magical powers and can stun a big tiger with one punch, so it is an easy task to knock down an adult man.
Xiao Yingsan fell like a tortoise king with his feet up in the sky, and everyone laughed again.
Of course, their laughter is to laugh at the small yakusan.
Shopkeeper Liu also laughed and walked up to Xiao Ying San and said sternly, "Lai Xiao Wu, I don't care if you want to come to Xueyuelai Inn on your own whim, or if someone asks you to come here to make trouble. , ruin the reputation of Yuelai Inn. But, I want to tell you, this is only once. If there is another time, then you can wait for the lawsuit to enter the yamen!"
As the largest restaurant in Ning'an Town, Yuelai Inn has always had a good business. Even though some time ago, due to improper employment, the business has declined, but Yuelai Inn is still the best in business.
It's just that business was good in the past, and the business of other restaurants was stable. In this way, they were competing with each other, and they were at peace with each other.
But since working with Lin Yuelan to develop new dishes, the business of Yuelai Inn has become more and more popular day by day, stealing the business of other restaurants. If this continues, those restaurant owners will definitely not want to.
Therefore, they jointly thought of a trick, which is to ruin the reputation of Yuelai Inn first, and then stop them from selling fish, so that they might be able to jointly suppress Yuelai Inn. Come to the inn, it's closed.
Of course, the premise of doing all this is to kill Yuelai Inn, otherwise, it is very likely that revenge is waiting for them.
But it was obvious that they had done all the calculations, and they didn't count that Lai Xiaowu didn't take the medicine that really hurt him, and in the end, his stupid words were tricked out.
Lai Xiaowu was warned by shopkeeper Liu, got up from the ground, and said fiercely to Lin Yuelan, "Stinky girl, wait for me!"
Afterwards, he fled away from the Yuelai Inn in embarrassment.
Shopkeeper Liu immediately clasped his fists towards Lin Yuelan and said gratefully, "Thank you Miss Lin for her witty rescue!"
Otherwise, being haunted by Lai Xiaowu for a long time will seriously affect the guests' mood and appetite.
Although he knew that Lai Xiaowu was pretending to be poisoned, he still needed a certain amount of time to find evidence to prove that he was not.
Fortunately, this Lai Xiaowu's mind was unstable, and Lin Yuelan was able to convince him in just a few words.
Lin Yuelan waved her hand and said, "Manager Liu, you are too polite, I didn't do anything!"
Then she said to Shopkeeper Liu solemnly, "It's better for Shopkeeper Liu to find out who is behind the scenes as soon as possible, otherwise if you can prevent this time, you may not be able to prevent the next time!"
The matter of Lai Xiaowu, at first glance, is instructed by others, the purpose is obvious and easy to see!
Shopkeeper Liu responded immediately, "What Miss Lin said is!"
After Lin Yuelan and Xiao Twelve came out, they heard Xiao Twelve's chattering praise, "Miss Lin, you are really smart! You are smarter than our boss!"
Lin Yuelan rolled her eyes indecently, and said coldly to Little Twelve, "Is your boss very smart? To compare him with me, eh!"
Xiao Twelve was shocked to realize that she had said something wrong, and immediately covered her mouth and shook her head at Lin Yuelan.
They were muttering in their hearts, in fact, their leaders were really smart, otherwise they wouldn't have beaten the enemy to pieces.
However, he didn't dare to say it again. If she said it, Miss Lin would be unhappy, but what happened?
Along the way, Little Twelve kept his mouth shut and followed behind Lin Yuelan until he reached the door of Jinyun Pavilion.
