Reborn Just To Be a Big Shot Family Freeloader

I never expected that shopkeeper Wu would be so enthusiastic after not seeing him for a few months.

Brother Monkey thought to himself, what a good day is today? Shopkeeper Wu and Shopkeeper Yi are both vying for a treat?

Alas, if I had known about those overseas goods, I would have given some of them to Shopkeeper Wu.

Brother Monkey smiled and said: "You are too polite. Let's just eat whatever we want. Your business is very important, how can you just let the chef cook for us?"

Shopkeeper Wu waved his hand: "You three are the most important guests of Zhiweilou. If you are polite to me, you are looking down on me."

Brother Monkey then gave up.

However, he didn't want to owe others favors. He thought that he had researched a lot of recipes. How about sending a few more dishes to Shopkeeper Wu?

Shopkeeper Wu personally sent the three of them to the private room and asked the waiter to bring the menu. Brother Monkey ordered a few dishes according to the old man's taste, and then shopkeeper Wu went.

Brother Monkey asked his slave to ask for pen and ink, and wrote ten dishes' recipes. Two dishes were given as gifts, and the other eight dishes were given at the last price. He asked shopkeeper Wu if he wanted to buy them.

Ji Nu took the recipe to shopkeeper Wu, who almost lost his temper because of this unexpected surprise.

Really, although he had a little expectation, he didn't expect it to come true.

This meal was indeed the investment with the greatest return rate in his life.

The two recipes just given away are worth a thousand taels.

The chef who got the new recipe worked hard to cook the dishes ordered by the three distinguished guests to the highest level in his life.

When the old man took the first bite of the dish, he was still wondering: "I usually order this dish when I come to Zhiweilou. Why do you think this dish tastes so good today?"

After hearing this, Brother Hou, Lingsu, and Jinu each took a chopstick and tasted it. Especially Jinu, who was the most familiar with the old man's favorite dishes, nodded and said, "It tastes better than usual. I didn't listen." Speaking of Zhiweilou changing its chef? Is it possible that the master chef’s skills have made another breakthrough? If so, I’ve been ordering meals from Zhiweilou for my husband recently.”

The old man was in a good mood: "Okay, we don't lack this little money either."

Brother Monkey was also in a good mood. Not only did he taste a very high-quality meal, but he also earned several thousand taels of silver.

After lunch, the four of them returned to Rendetang. Brother Monkey didn't stay too long. He agreed on a time to pick up Lingsu and drove his donkey cart to the county government office.

Since Brother Hou was here to give a gift, he didn't go to the front office and went straight to the family area in the backyard of the county office. When Mrs. Li heard that Brother Monkey was visiting, she hurriedly asked someone to invite him in, and then sent someone to the front office to call Li Xingjian.

Brother Monkey was only thirteen years old, and the two families had known each other for generations, so there was nothing to avoid. Mrs. Li met Brother Monkey in person, and Brother Monkey received the courtesy, and the two sat down to talk.

Brother Monkey was still wondering: "Why don't you see Junior Brother? Xiaoxun asked me to pick up Junior Brother back today. My homework has been delayed for a few days, and my eldest cousin is urging me to go back to class."

Mrs. Li smiled and said: "Hey, I asked you kid to make this trip for him. I originally said that Su'er wouldn't come to pick him up today, so I sent someone to take him there tomorrow morning. That little boy is rare. After being at home for a few days, he couldn't rest and ran out to play. I've already sent people to the streets to look for him."

"Ah, it's not just to pick up my younger brother. Didn't I make a detour to Yingzhou on the way back from the capital? The seafood there is good, and there are also some exotic things that look good, so I bought some. By the way I’ll send some to you and Uncle Shi to try. If it’s just a local ritual from the capital, I won’t send it to you.”

Mrs. Li smiled and said: "Oh, you kid, you speak so honestly. But why did you take a detour to Yingzhou?"

"I met a friend and made an appointment to go play. I couldn't refuse, so I took a trip. I was lucky enough to get some fruits from the sea. They taste extremely sweet and can nourish the body. I thought about how Uncle Shi was preparing for us all day long. Don't you think the people of Dongfang should take good care of it after working hard? That's why it was brought here. Uncle Shi is in good health, which is a blessing for us in Linjiang."

Mrs. Li was amused when she heard this: "You kid, you are so good at talking. If your uncle hears this, he might have a few more drinks at night. People outside call him Li Papi."

Brother Monkey scratched his head: "You also know this?"

Mrs. Li laughed loudly: "Do you still know?"

Brother Monkey comforted him sincerely: "You are wrong. It's not the people outside who call it that, it's the wealthy families who call it that. We, the people in Linjiang, all love Uncle Shi. They all say that Uncle Shi is the best in Daxia." As for the parent officer. He is worthy of the word 'parent'."

Li Xingjian just entered the room when he heard what Brother Monkey said, and he immediately laughed: "If this is true, it will not be in vain that I was scolded as Li Papi for several years in Linjiang. Parents are officials, parents are officials, if they have no parental heart for the people, That person is not worthy of being called a parent official by the people."

Brother Monkey quickly stood up to greet him.

Li Xingjian waved his hand: "No courtesy."

He also asked Brother Monkey where he had been in the capital, what he had seen and heard, and what his impression of the capital was.

Brother Monkey could only scratch his head at this: "As soon as I went to the capital, after my parents settled down, I was sent back and I didn't even visit the capital."

Li Xingjian smiled and said: "That's probably because I'm afraid that you, a naughty boy, will get into trouble in the capital. Your father has just entered the Hanlin Academy, so he can't give you a guarantee. Don't look at the fact that your boy is now a grandmaster. Where is the capital? Linjiang is different, there are many monks, many of whom are higher than you."

Brother Monkey felt that he was wronged. Is he that kind of person?

But when it comes to monks, Brother Hou said: "I heard from Xiaoxun that Chudi wants to practice? I have seen it before. Chudi has the qualifications to practice, and his qualifications are not bad. He is not inferior to Xin Ruoxia. What? If you are willing, you can practice with me, I can teach him for a few years."

Li Xingjian and Mrs. Li were overjoyed when they heard this, and were so excited that they were almost speechless: "Seriously? Chu'er's qualifications are really better than those of Young Master Xin? Are you really willing to teach him?"

Brother Monkey said with a smile: "I don't dare to tell lies to Uncle Shi and Auntie. Brother Chu's cultivation aptitude is indeed good, he can barely be considered a genius."

Li Xingjian gave him a resentful look: "Can you remove the word "reluctantly"?

Brother Monkey laughed: "Compared with others, of course he is a genius, but this is not the case. Is there still me as a control group? Don't worry, compared with me, being able to say that he is a 'reluctant genius' is already a very high evaluation. . However, as agreed, I will only teach my junior disciple how to practice, but I will not accept disciples. If I really accept my junior disciple as my disciple, wouldn’t this mess up the seniority?"

Li Xingjian nodded at him dumbfounded.

Mrs. Li's face was also filled with an unstoppable smile: "Auntie, thank you so much. Based on the friendship between your uncle and your father, I shouldn't be related to you, but aunt still wants to say, you What do you want? You must give me a chance to thank you!"

Brother Monkey thought for a while and then scratched his head in embarrassment: "There's nothing I want. If it really doesn't work out, aunt, if you want to thank me, the two snacks you had at home last time were pretty good. Can you give me the recipe?"

The couple waited for a long time and just said this. They were speechless for a while. Mrs. Li waved her hand grandly: "What are two dim sum recipes? I'll give you all my recipes later!"
