The old man said no more and left.

These words made Liu Mo freeze.

What does it mean to hire another chef?

Analyze carefully.

First of all, this old man knew Dong Xusheng and guessed it by eating the food he cooked?

The reason for saying this is that the old man knows Dong Xusheng's character?

This is completely a guess. Master Dong has been quite loyal to me so far.

I hired a chef out of nowhere, and it would cost money to support him. It would hurt other people’s feelings!

Moreover, I cannot make public what this old man said to me!

With his brows furrowed, Zhao Da stepped forward and said, "Uncle, what did this old gentleman say to you in private?"

"It's okay, go ahead and get busy!" Liu Mo said.

Unable to affect the other guys, he had to adjust his mentality.

Business was normal on this day, and Liu Mo was not in the mood to care about losses, so the Buddhist shopkeeper just let him be.

At the end of the day, there were no customers in the store.

Since the two got married, they have never enjoyed their honeymoon, so Liu Mo simply asked Lin Shiqi to go out for fun.

Lin Shiqi put on a veil, hired a carriage, and came to the place recommended by Wang Xiaoqi, which was also the Zhishui Lake most visited by literati in Rongcheng.

Zhisui Lake is divided into several water surfaces by four naturally formed dams. There are three islands in the lake. The Zhisui Mountains are centered on the lake and can be divided into four levels from near to far.

Willows line both sides of the road. On both sides, there are waves and cruise ships. In the distance, there are mountains with empty sky and green indigo.

Renting a small boat, the two of them went boating on the lake. Looking at such beautiful scenery, and having a beautiful daughter-in-law like Lin Shiqi by their side, all the troubles in the world were gone, and Liu Mo just felt like he was living a life like a god.

"Husband, are you worried about something?"

"Oh? Why did you say that?" Liu Mo was very surprised.

"At noon, after the old gentleman whispered a few words to you, husband, you seemed to be worried." Lin Shiqi said, "Although you, husband, tried your best to hide it, I still... can tell."

Sure enough, a girl who loves you always observes very carefully.

"You are really my good wife, you have seen through all this." Liu Mo smiled, and then slowly said the old man's words.

When Lin Shiqi heard this, she frowned. "Husband, do you believe it?"

Liu Mo nodded, "That old man doesn't seem to be lying."

If it was a plan to alienate other colleagues, why would they send such a special old beggar?

"It is essential to be on guard against others," Lin Shiqi also agreed, "Husband, I have an idea. 'Jingshui Pavilion' currently has one chef, two assistant chefs, and three people cutting and preparing vegetables.

It’s really hard to be busy when business is good…”

"Recruit another one?"

"No." Lin Shiqi shook her head, "In any store, the chef is the top priority. To be honest, Master Dong and I have no ill intentions towards him, but he is not related to you or me."

"You mean..." Liu Moruo realized something, "Find someone who is truly one of your own and ask him to learn cooking?"

"Um."

This suggestion sounds very unreliable. There is such a big restaurant, and now you start learning to cook?

"Husband, we are not in a hurry to make a profit now!" Lin Shiqi made the point.

"I've thought about this." Liu Mo answered him, "I'm thinking about the candidates."

In the Great Xia Dynasty, Liu Mo had no relatives or friends, so finding a reliable person became the most troublesome thing.

Zhao Da is currently the most loyal, but like Dong Xusheng, he is neither a relative nor a friend. Moreover, he is a martial artist and is not suitable.

Same thing with the other guys.

Lin Shiqi was from a very high background, so how could her relatives and friends lower their status to become a cook.

Doing it yourself is not advisable.

The reason is very simple, a person's energy is limited and he can't keep busy!

It seems that the beer issue has to be included in the marketing plan in advance.

So he mentioned the beer to Lin Shiqi.

That night, my mind was on Landlords, but I didn't take it all to heart.

When she mentioned this, Lin Shiqi's face turned red and she spoke about Liu Mo with a hint of reproach.

I know about Landlords all day long! ! !

Now, I’m not in the mood to talk anymore!

Liu Mo coaxed her for a while, and then Lin Shiqi revealed the matter.

It turned out that when Lin Shiqi's uncle came to visit the old lady in Lanyang, he brought some malt wine with a very weak taste.

However, such an alternative, which has no aroma of wine and is not mellow, is naturally difficult to reach the level of elegance.

Ale... isn't beer brewed from malt?

Upon further questioning, questions also arise.

Lin Shiqi's uncle was doing business in the capital, so it was difficult to inquire about the origin of the beer.

Liu Mo is not a god. He only knows the raw materials needed for beer, but he has never brewed it himself.

In this different world, it is impossible to brew beer solely relying on Baidu's knowledge, unless you have a golden finger!

"Husband, why don't I go to the capital in person to see my uncle and ask him in person?"

"Of course not." Liu Mo refused.

The capital is more than half a month's ride away from Rongcheng. Can I rest assured that a girl like you is traveling so far?

I don’t know if the old lady has returned to Linyang.

"I will revise a letter and send it back to Linyang. If the old lady comes forward, your uncle will naturally take it seriously." Liu Mo said, "There is no rush at this moment anyway."

That was how things were settled.

Then the two of them went boating on the lake and played until dusk.

This day became an unforgettable day for Liu Mo. Decades later, when he recalled it, he felt full of happiness.

It was getting late, and the two of them took a carriage back to the restaurant.

As soon as I got off the carriage, I saw that "Jingshui Pavilion" was surrounded by many people.

Just as he was surprised, he heard Xin'er's cries penetrate his cochlea.

"What's going on? Someone is bullying my second wife?"

He hurriedly pushed through the crowd and walked in, only to see Xin'er's face was full of tears and her body was shaking.

When she saw Liu Mo, she immediately screamed and started sobbing.

Liu Mo stepped forward and held her in his arms. She was trembling all over.

"What happened?" Liu Mo asked sharply.

"Uncle, this person is teasing Xin'er." Zhao Da grabbed a middle-aged man.

"Nonsense, I am not teasing her, she is clearly seducing me." The man quickly defended, "An unmarried girl comes to show off in front of a big man. What is it if it's not seduction?"

The man shouted, "Besides, this bitch stole my silver!"

Liu Mo suppressed his anger, pulled up a stool and sat down, listening to everyone in the store explain what happened.

Xin'er has never wanted to be regarded as a "flower vase" and always helps in the store.

Liu Mo couldn't persuade him, so he had to let her do it.

But today, when the man in front of him saw Xin'er's beauty, he started teasing her.

Xin'er has had low self-esteem since she was a child, and she doesn't dare to resist when others bully her. The man became bold and took it upon himself to touch Xin'er's butt.

Under such humiliation, Xin'er screamed anxiously and angrily, causing Zhao Da to take action and give the man a severe lesson.

did not expect. This evil man complained first, falsely accusing Xin'er of seducing him and stealing his money bag.

After understanding what happened, Liu Mo didn't get angry and just observed the man carefully.

This man's face was wretched and arrogant, and one could tell at a glance that he was a scoundrel.

After adjusting his mood, Liu Mo stepped forward: "I wonder how much silver it is?"

"What?" Zhao Dayi was shocked when he heard this, "Uncle, do you want to pay him compensation?"

Liu Mo smiled, is it possible?

The second wife who bullied me, it would be strange if I didn’t torture you to death!
