As the saying goes, to tell a lie, it takes a hundred lies to get around.

Gu Changning is facing such a problem at the moment.

She could easily deceive her brother and the people at Chen Kee Restaurant, because they hadn't read the book Omniphagia, so it was up to her to say it.

But A-Niang is different, this book was originally left by her grandfather to A-Niang, although she has never seen A-Niang turn over this book, but maybe A-Niang has memorized the content of it, and there is no need to re-open it?

Gu Changning procrastinated with small steps, trying his best to come up with a solution in his mind, but after a while, he only wrinkled his little face, hesitantly walked to the door of Yang Huiyun's room, carefully poked out his little head, and looked inside.

I don't know what A-Niang is doing at this moment......

Yang Huiyun was sitting on the kang folding the clothes she had taken back, and she glanced at it inadvertently, and suddenly saw a small head at the door, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at it, and said quite strangely: "Are you back?" What are you doing lying on the door? Can the fungus be sold? ”

"Well, I sold it for a penny and six cents!" Gu Changning smiled twice at Ah Niang, straightened up and walked in, and asked tentatively, "Ah Niang, can I ask you a question?" ”

"Huh? What's the problem? ”

Yang Huiyun was very surprised when she heard that she sold the fungus for one dollar and six cents of silver, she thought that no store would want such a thing, but she didn't expect her to sell it all, which made her a little surprised.

It's just that this surprise is not over, and I heard Gu Changning say that she had something to ask her, Yang Huiyun wondered.

"Auntie, that omnivorous book...... Do you remember what was written on it? "The first step of the temptation is to make sure that A-Niang still remembers what was recorded above!

Yang Huiyun's hand in sorting out her clothes paused, and she looked at her daughter puzzled: "Why do you ask that?" ”

"Well, it's nothing, it's just that I found out that there were a few pages missing from this book, so I came to ask for it when I was curious......" Gu Changning blinked, trying to make himself look less suspicious.

"Really?" Yang Huiyun was surprised when she heard this, "I haven't read that book carefully, I don't know what was written in it, since your grandfather died, I have been pressing this book in the cage and haven't moved." ”

"Haven't you seen it?" Hearing this, Gu Changning's eyes lit up, and he opened wide, hiding the excitement in his heart and said, "I thought that my grandfather had read all the books left by my grandfather." ”

"The Omnivorous Book is full of recipes, and our family doesn't plan to open a restaurant, so I think what's going on." Yang Huiyun didn't take it seriously.

Gu Changning looked at his mother's gentle side face, a flash of inspiration, and he came up with a plan, deliberately made the appearance that he had done something wrong, and said to A-Niang: "Then A-Niang, I want to say one thing, you promise me first, don't be angry with me!" ”

"Okay, A-Niang won't be angry with you, you can say it." Looking at Gu Changning's flattering little appearance, Yang Huiyun smiled and said.

"That's it...... This time, I went to Donghuang Town to sell fungus and also sell a recipe. Gu Changning didn't dare to say it too carefully, he was afraid that A-Niang would take a look at the book if he was interested, so he could only say vaguely, "I sold the fungus in a restaurant in Donghuang Town, and this restaurant just bought a kind of fish from Jiangnan, and they were worried that they didn't know how to cook it, I happened to read it in the omnivorous book, so I told the young owner of the restaurant in detail about the recipe for handling the fish, and the young owner gave me ten taels of silver in order to express his gratitude......

The voice gets quieter and quieter, and finally it becomes more like a mouth in it.

Yang Huiyun didn't take it seriously at first, but when she heard Gu Changning say that the other party gave her ten taels of silver, her face changed suddenly, and she said in a deep tone: "Ning Ning!" ”

"A-Niang promised me not to be angry!" Gu Changning was afraid that she would ask, so he hurriedly took her previous words and gaged her.

Yang Huiyun paused, thinking of this stubble, and said helplessly: "A-Niang is not angry with you, just ......"

"It's good that A-Niang isn't angry, then it's no problem." Gu Changning intercepted her words, took off his shoes and climbed onto the kang and smiled at Yang Huiyun.

"A-Niang is not angry, but these ten taels of silver are not trivial, not a small amount, how can you take it!" Looking at her daughter's bright smiling face, Yang Huiyun deliberately said with a straight face, scaring and scaring her.

It's just a matter of a recipe, where it's worth taking ten taels of silver!

She is afraid that her daughter will develop the problem of being above the top, and she thinks that the money is too easy to come by, and she will form a lazy and picky temperament, which is not good.

Gu Changning couldn't say it, but he could only take the words stubbornly: "I didn't take the initiative to ask for this silver, I don't believe A-Niang to ask my brother if it was given to me by the young owner." I wasn't going to accept it, but the young owner also said that he wanted to recognize me as a younger brother, if I hadn't refused, A-Niang was afraid that she would have another son, this is a good thing, half the eldest son eats the poor old man, but I saved a lot of rations for our family! I have already rejected the kindness of the young owner to recognize my brother, if I refuse to accept this money again, I am afraid that people think we want more, so I have not refused! ”

"It's again." Yang Huiyun glanced at her daughter angrily, "The young master of a big family, where do you still need our family's rations." ”

"It's really A-Niang! He was so enthusiastic! Gu Changning hurriedly shouted for himself, "I don't understand what these rich people think, I just taught them a dish, and they can exaggerate it like this, but I was frightened, and I just wanted to get out of there quickly, so I hurriedly took the money and escaped." ”

Anyway, it's right to put the problem on Chen Jinshu.

"It's normal, the children of rich families don't know the hard work of making money, and there is no shortage of money at home, so it is naturally easy to be grateful and generous." Yang Huiyun thought about it and felt that it might be the reason.

"So that's the case, or A-Niang knows more." Gu Changning hurriedly put on a high hat for Yang Huiyun, with a dog-legged face, trying to corrode A-Niang's will psychologically.

"You, you." Yang Huiyun couldn't help this little dog's leg, and her slender fingers tapped her forehead and said helplessly.

"Hehe, what should I do with these ten taels of silver?" As she spoke, she took out the silver and handed it to A-Niang.

Yang Huiyun looked at this bag of silver, and to be honest, she was not unmoved.

She thought about it, this matter is also what the young master is willing to do, if her child doesn't steal or rob, she will take the money.

Although in Yang Huiyun's mind, a recipe far from ten taels of silver.

But when rich people go out for a meal, they will give a few taels of silver, for them, this recipe may be really important, and for them, these ten taels are just a meal.

Thinking about it like this, she felt that there was no problem, so she took the silver and said, "This silver will be put in A-Niang's place first, and there will be no need to worry about running out of money when the family needs it in the future." ”

"Uh-huh." Gu Changning nodded again and again like a chicken pecking rice, and behaved very well-behaved.

"As for Omnivorous, Ah Niang told you that this time is just an exception, not every recipe recorded above can be sold at such a high price, understand?"

"I understand, this time we are also lucky, just in the case of people in a hurry to help a little favor, the fish from the south of the Yangtze River has been floating on the water for several days, there are few surviving, if you can't do it as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will be in vain, so this recipe can be sold so high, the same thing is difficult to have a second time, A-Niang, I understand."

Seeing that her daughter was so transparent and intelligent, Yang Huiyun nodded with satisfaction.

She was afraid that her daughter would develop a greedy and cheap temperament.

"Then Auntie, I'll go and get busy first, I haven't watered the vegetable patch in the backyard yet, and the chicken coop hasn't been added with water and food, I have to finish it before I can prepare dinner." Gu Changning saw that the matter was perfectly resolved, and was ready to slip away.

"Okay, then you can go quickly." Yang Huiyun nodded.

Gu Changning turned his back to A-Niang, stuck out his tongue in fear, and quickly left the main house with a saved expression.

***

The carriage stopped in front of the Chen Mansion, Chen Jinshu couldn't wait for the coachman to bring the footstool, jumped directly from the carriage, hurriedly passed through the gate of the Chen Mansion, and walked straight to the mother's courtyard.

"Young Master......"

The little guy in charge of guarding the door of the Chen Mansion was just about to salute him, but he saw him go past him into the inner courtyard without looking back, with a solemn expression on his face, which looked a little scary.

Seeing this, the little girl scratched his head, and didn't dare to come forward to speak, so he had to pretend not to see it and continue to guard the gate of the Chen Mansion.

"Steward Chen, you check it carefully again to see if there is anyone missing from this list, and if there is any omission, you must make up for it in time."

At this time, Mrs. Chen sat elegantly at the square table in the main room of her courtyard, and the mother-in-law who was waiting for her stood aside without squinting, and she handed the post in her hand to the housekeeper and told her again and again.

"Don't worry, madam, I'll check it carefully." Steward Chen assured.

"Well, oh yes, all those puffer fish I bought a few days ago were used at this banquet." Mrs. Chen thought of the dozen or so fish she had bought yesterday, and changed her mind to add this dish to the menu.

She had tasted it yesterday and found that the meat was indeed delicious, and it was used to entertain guests, and it would surely satisfy everyone.

"Yes......"

Steward Chen didn't eat the puffer fish meat, so I don't know how it tasted.

But since Mrs. returned to the house yesterday, she has been praising her, which has aroused the curiosity of the young master, and he can't help but rush to Donghuang Town early this morning, ready to ask someone to make one for him to taste.

Steward Chen thought that the taste should not be bad, so the dish was decided by Mrs. Chen.

He was about to receive the order to go down, Chen Jinshu had already strode in, his head was slightly sweaty, and he shouted anxiously: "Uncle Chen, slow!" ”

"Young Master?" Steward Chen was stopped by this shout, and couldn't help but stop, watching the young master walk in suspiciously.

"You can't add this dish, mother, do you know that we were designed?!" Chen Jinshu shouted to Steward Chen, and immediately looked directly at his mother and said solemnly.

"Design? What design, what are you talking about? Mrs. Chen was confused by her son's behavior and wondered.

"Mother, do you know that puffer fish is poisonous?"

"Poisonous?" Mrs. Chen was taken aback and looked at her son in surprise, "Where did you hear that?" How can it be poisonous, my mother only tasted the puffer fish meat yesterday, you see, isn't my mother still standing here well? ”

"That's why I said that our Chen Mansion was secretly calculated!" Chen Jinshu said with an ugly face, "I have confirmed that the puffer fish is poisonous, and the reason why my mother is okay after eating it is because the ingredients have been specially handled, and the poisonous parts are picked and the non-toxic ones are left, but this person did not tell us how to pick them, and the method he taught the restaurant chef is actually problematic!" ”

"Y-What did you say?" Mrs. Chen looked at her son in horror.

Several people in the same room also changed their expressions when they heard this.
