Su Chunshan saw that the scholar in the green shirt was holding a copy of "Spring and Autumn" in his hand, and while reading it, he was taking notes on the paper next to him, so he stepped forward to say hello: "Hello this brother, are you also going to take the exam together this autumn?" ”

With the action of making a gesture, Su Chunshan, who bowed his head slightly, saw the notes written by the scholar in the green shirt on the paper.

It's not so much a note taken while reading a book, but a note written after tasting a medicinal meal.

Because the paper is densely filled with half sheets, listing the recipe of the food, the taste and the feeling after eating.

A reader, holding "Spring and Autumn" in his hand, read it carefully, and put on a look of taking notes while seeing, but what was written on the paper was not an understanding note related to poetry and songs, but a recipe for medicinal diet, Su Chunshan had to wonder what the purpose of the scholar in the green shirt was so coquettish.

Although Su Chunshan was puzzled, he still finished renting the action and talked to the scholar in green shirt quietly.

"Brother Tai, you are watching "Spring and Autumn" below, and there are "Analects" and "Book of Rites" on the table. I focus on poetry to give scholars, so I guess that you, brother, should be preparing for this year's autumn exam. ”

The scholar in the green shirt was concentrating on writing notes, and was very surprised by Su Chunshan's initiative to come forward to say hello, and the scholar who was taken aback was quick to fold the paper on the table and put it away in his arms, and it took a long time to answer Su Chunshan: "Haha...... Yes, yes... I'm preparing for the autumn exams. ”

“…… Okay, I wish my brother Tai can be a horse and a flat river, and Toad Palace will win the laurels. Su Chunshan made another move, left the front hall, and asked Shopkeeper Liu to find a reason to go to the toilet, and Shopkeeper Liu took Su Chunshan to the backyard.

Halfway through the way where Shopkeeper Liu took Su Chunshan to the latrine, Su Chunshan interrupted Shopkeeper Liu's lead and asked to see Su Jiudong.

Shopkeeper Liu was also taken aback by Su Chunshan, and thought that Su Chunshan was going to make trouble with Su Jiudong like the rest of the Su family, but he suddenly lost the pleasant face he had just now with Su Chunshan, changed his face in the color of his clothes, and was about to teach Su Chunshan a few words.

"I have something important to tell Sister Jiudong...... I found that in the medicinal diet hall, there may be other restaurants sent by our medicinal diet hall to spy on the medicinal diet work. Su Chunshan lowered his voice and said in the ear of Shopkeeper Liu.

The matter was serious, and Shopkeeper Liu didn't dare to delay, so he led Su Chunshan into the back kitchen and found Su Jiudong to discuss. Su Chunshan reported to Su Jiudong what had just happened.

"You're saying we have commercial spies in the Pharmacy?" After Shopkeeper Liu was startled by Su Chunshan, Su Jiudong was also taken aback by Su Chunshan's discovery.

Su Jiudong knew that there were also fine works in ancient times, but it was the first time that commercial spies between the catering industry had been encountered.

Su Jiudong couldn't imagine that his small medicinal restaurant would be regarded as a thorn in the side of other restaurants, and the situation was even serious to the point where he needed to send commercial spies.

"Are you sure he wrote the recipe for the medicinal diet on that piece of paper?" Su Jiudong was still a little incredulous about this situation. The Jonway Medicinal Restaurant that he opened has nothing to do with other restaurants in the county, so how can it stimulate those restaurants to send spies?

Su Chunshan nodded heavily: "Yes, I see it very accurately." ”

"I also think that the scholar in the green shirt is a fine work sent by another restaurant. Our family's business is booming, and it does affect their business, and they are red and jealous. Shopkeeper Liu pondered for a while, and finally asserted.

Tsing Yi scholars go to the medicinal food hall on time every day at noon, and each time they order different medicinal foods, and the first ones they order are the new products launched on the same day or in the season.

If it can be determined that the scholar in the green shirt is a commercial spy, Su Jiudong's doubts about the scholar in the green shirt before will also make sense.

Order a different medicinal diet every time, and give priority to new products, probably to see what the configuration of the new medicinal diet dishes is. Pretending to be a scholar is just a disguise, just to pretend to be a diligent student, and take the opportunity to write down the ingredients and recipes of the medicinal diet, and then write them down.

As for the cheap and expensive dishes before, I ordered them naturally, so that I could eat all the dishes in the medicinal restaurant.

Because he is not a real hard-working scholar, it is estimated that the restaurant owner behind the scenes will reimburse the Tsing Yi scholars for each meal, so the Tsing Yi scholars dare to order those expensive dishes.

"No wonder every time he eats, it takes nearly an hour or so to finish eating, it turns out that he wants to carefully taste the ingredients and medicinal materials in the medicinal diet."

Shopkeeper Liu expressed his opinion, and secretly blamed himself for having been in business for many years, but he couldn't see through the words and deeds of the Tsing Yi scholar in the past.

"Thank you Brother Chunshan today, if you didn't happen to find out, I'm afraid we would all be deceived by that person." Su Jiudong sent Su Chunshan to the front hall and thanked Su Chunshan again.

"After he finishes eating, I'm still bothering Brother Chunshan, you can come up and talk to him, it's best to take the opportunity to approach him and find out where he came from."

"Okay, I'll go." Su Chunshan and Shopkeeper Liu walked into the front hall, and the green-shirted scholar in the corner was long gone.

The shopkeeper who ran the hall in the medicinal food hall said that the scholar in the green shirt, as usual, had eaten for almost an hour, and left after eating the medicinal food, and had just left. Trade Winds Literature Network

Shopkeeper Liu glanced at Su Chunshan, Su Chunshan understood, looked left and right out of the medicinal restaurant, and found the back of the scholar in green shirt on the corner of the street, and immediately followed.

Su Chunshan was worried that he would be discovered by the scholars in the green shirts, so he didn't dare to follow too closely, and only dared to keep a distance of about twenty people.

I saw the scholar in the green shirt walk into a medicine shop, and when he came out again, he carried two packets of wrapped medicine bags.

The scholar in the green shirt walked further, turned right into the market street in Qishan County, picked and bought pork, mutton and two handfuls of green vegetables from the street stalls, and then looked down at the paper with folded marks in his hand, entered a coarse grain store, and packed a small bag of white coarse grain paper and came out.

Because he was holding too many things in his hand, the Tsing Yi scholar slowed down, carefully took all his things, and slowly left the market street.

Su Chunshan saw that the scholar in green shirts was about to disappear into the market street, and hurriedly rushed into the coarse grain store, and asked the shopkeeper what coarse grains the scholar in green shirts had bought just now.

After getting the answer, Su Chunshan quickly rushed out of the market street, looked around the two-point street, and finally saw a green shirt disappearing into a small alley.

Su Chunshan chased into the alley and saw the scholar in the green shirt knocking on a black wooden door with a bunch of things, and after a while, someone came to open the door and welcomed the scholar in the green shirt in.

Su Chunshan took advantage of the opportunity that there was no one around, and secretly walked forward to take a closer look, wanting to see if there was a mark on which family's private house near the black wooden door, but there was no mark.

Su Chunshan lost not only the small alley, but also looked at the surrounding buildings, and estimated that the portal in this alley should be the back door of the shops along the street on both sides, so he walked to the block on the right to check.

After tracking for a period of time, Su Chunshan found that it was close to the vicinity of the county office, with more and more pedestrians and traffic, and several restaurants on both sides of the road were open.

Excluding the restaurants across the street, only the three restaurants on the left are very suspicious.

Based on the appearance of the observation building and the distance corresponding to the door in the alley, Su Chunshan probably knew in his heart which restaurant the scholar in green shirt had finally entered.

Su Chunshan returned to the Yongyuan Medicinal Diet Hall with the answer, found Su Jiudong and Shopkeeper Liu, and said his inferences and guesses.

After the man left the medicinal restaurant, he first went to buy medicinal herbs, then went to the market to buy some ingredients, and then went to the coarse grain store. I went to ask the shopkeeper of the coarse grain store, and the shopkeeper said that he had bought a small bag of barley. ”

"What ingredients did he buy?" After going out, I immediately bought medicinal ingredients, and it is estimated that I will wait until I go back and test it according to the medicinal diet I ordered today. Su Jiudong asked Shopkeeper Liu to check what medicinal dishes the scholar in Tsing Yi ordered today.

"I saw him buy pork, lamb and some vegetables."

Shopkeeper Liu took the menu ordered by the scholar in Tsing Yi today, and Su Jiudong looked at the dishes on the order list one by one.

Barley porridge, pork medicinal diet, angelica mutton soup...... The dishes ordered by the scholar in Tsing Yi today all correspond to the ingredients he bought on the market street after leaving the medicinal restaurant.

At this time, it was indeed confirmed that the scholar in the green shirt bought medicinal herbs and ingredients and went back, trying to make the same medicinal dishes according to the recipe he had tasted during the day.

Shopkeeper Liu made a rough estimate in his heart, and the scholar in the green shirt had lunch in the medicinal restaurant every day, and recently, he came for a total of six days. Ordering three dishes a day, 3618, the Tsing Yi scholar ate a total of 18 medicinal meals in the medicinal diet hall, and it is possible that the experimenter will make 18 medicinal dishes after returning home.

At present, Yongyuan Medicinal Diet Hall has launched a total of 26 medicinal diets, and there are 18 medicinal diets that have been learned to be made by Qingyi scholars, almost including all the medicinal diet dishes in the Medicinal Diet Hall.

There was a thief who had been stealing recipes under his nose without knowing it, and even thought that the man was a serious reader...... It's scary to think about it.

Su Jiudong and Shopkeeper Liu didn't say a word, and the embarrassed Su Chunshan broke the silence by saying the final result: "In the end, he entered a small alley, which should have entered the back door of a restaurant called 'Lin Sheng Restaurant'." ”

"Lin Sheng's restaurant?" The name of this restaurant was both unfamiliar and familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but Su Jiudong couldn't remember it for a while.

"Where is Lin Sheng's restaurant located in the county?" In the end, Su Jiudong could only blame himself for not being able to remember where he had heard the name of this restaurant.

"Is it the Lin Sheng restaurant near the south gate of the city?" Shopkeeper Liu answered first.

Shopkeeper Liu is very familiar with the name of this restaurant, he used to be an apprentice next to the shopkeeper in this restaurant, and he also accumulated experience in this restaurant, and finally relied on these experiences to mix up the strength of the shopkeeper to make a living.

Su Chunshan shook his head and corrected the accurate answer: "No, it's at the Lin Sheng Restaurant near the Ya in Chengdong County." ”
