There is a happy inn in the capital.

Chapter 277 Who's the Cricket?

She was about to kneel down after she finished speaking when Li Shuchen quickly helped her up, saying, "I'll accept it, don't kneel. I don't like people kneeling to me all the time."

Upon hearing this, Muqi insisted on finishing kneeling, then stood up with a smile on her lips and stood beside Li Shuchen, her body no longer tense but relaxed and at ease.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Zhi'an laughed and said, "I'll give you my stove; anyway, I can't roast a whole lamb well, so it's useless to keep it."

Li Shuchen raised an eyebrow: "Once the inn serves roast whole lamb, I'll treat you."

Cheng Zhi'an smiled faintly and said, "I'll be waiting for that day."

"Eat quickly, it'll get cold soon."

Li Shuchen devoured the roasted whole lamb, then turned to Muqi and said, "Muqi, your roasted whole lamb is absolutely delicious, with perfect color, aroma, and taste! It's fantastic!"

After saying that, he gave Muxi a thumbs up.

This was probably the first time Muqi had been praised, and her face flushed slightly as she replied somewhat awkwardly, "It is Muqi's honor that Miss likes it."

The two ate a lot of meat, but still left a lot.

Li Shuchen stared at the remaining whole roasted lamb and said, "How about we each take half to go?"

Cheng Zhian smiled and said, "This meal is enough for me, you can take it all with you."

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen's lips curled into a wide smile: "Then I won't be polite, waiter, pack it all up."

"Welcome, sir/madam."

After the waiter finished packing, Grape and Muqi each carried two large bags and followed behind Li Shuchen.

Li Shuchen went downstairs to the counter: "Boss, check please."

Shopkeeper: "This young master has already paid."

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen looked at Cheng Zhian and asked, "When did you get married? How come I didn't know?"

Cheng Zhi'an: "You were so engrossed in watching others that you didn't realize when I went downstairs."

Li Shuchen crossed his arms and snorted, "Tch."

Turning to walk out of the shop, she overheard the owner mutter, "That girl is a fool, insisting on having a female clerk."

"She's always been an idiot, and you're only just realizing that now?" someone nearby chimed in.

The boss shook his head dismissively: "No wonder."

Li Shuchen turned around and glanced at the shop owner, then shouted, "Hey boss, I haven't gone far yet, I'm not deaf! You dare bother me? I'll make you regret this! We'll see!"

He then strode away from that filthy place.

Halfway there, Li Shuchen suddenly asked Cheng Zhian, "How much did you spend?"

Cheng Zhi'an: "One thousand two hundred taels of silver"

"What? Twelve hundred taels of silver? Did we just have a state banquet?"

Li Shuchen was shocked and bewildered; his lips were trembling.

Cheng Zhi'an explained, "A whole roasted lamb costs one thousand taels of silver."

Li Shuchen frowned upon hearing this: "Are sheep really that expensive?"

Cheng Zhian: "A single lamb isn't expensive, but since he's the only place in Beijing that knows how to roast a whole lamb, the price is naturally higher."

Li Shuchen crossed his arms, clearly unconvinced: "It's just a secret marinade, that's all. I don't find it anything special. Give me the spices and I can make it myself."

Cheng Zhian: "There is no cumin in Beijing."

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen paused for a moment: "No wonder no one can make it. It turns out there's no main ingredient. Where did the shopkeeper get it from?"

Cheng Zhian said calmly, "Perhaps it was given to me by that 'wealthy young master'."

In all honesty, Li Shuchen never gave the restaurant owner cumin.

However, she could claim to be a 'wealthy young master' who visited the Happiness Inn at night and gave her extremely precious cumin spices.

That's great, she's got an excuse now, so it doesn't seem out of place for her to suddenly pull out cumin.

Li Shuchen parted ways with Cheng Zhian, feeling happy as she walked towards the backyard of the Happiness Inn.

Aunt Wang

"Oh, what can I do for you, Miss?"

Aunt Wang came out of the kitchen.

Li Shuchen pulled Mu Qi aside and said, "This is Miss Mu Qi. She will be working in the kitchen from now on. Please show her around the inn."

Cook Wang: "Yes, Miss."

"Also, these whole roasted lambs were shared among everyone."

As soon as Li Shuchen finished speaking, two small heads popped out from the kitchen doorway.

"Roasted whole lamb? It really tastes like roasted whole lamb!"

In early summer, she sniffed hard, a look of bliss on her face.

Wang Shuang'er strode out, took the roasted whole lamb from Grape's hand, and said with a smile, "Since Miss has spoken, let's try it!"

Grape laughed and said, "Okay, okay, Muxi, you should eat with us too."

Muqi was a little stunned when she heard this. Could she really eat such expensive food? Why didn't anyone seem surprised about it?

Li Shuchen patted Mu Qi and said, "Don't be shy, make yourself at home. Join them in tasting the food and try your own cooking."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xia ran over and grabbed Mu Qi's hand, saying, "You made this whole roasted lamb! You're amazing!"

Muqi blushed and stammered, "It's alright."

Seeing that everyone was getting along well, Li Shuchen turned around and returned to the Sanbao Hall, where he carefully put away Muqi's indenture.

It was almost dark by then. We ate, took a bath, turned off the lights, went to bed, and drew the curtains.

Open the system store and search for cumin powder.

[Cumin seeds: 10 coins per pound]

[Cumin powder: 15 coins per pound]

So cheap! I impulsively ordered 200 jin (100 kg) of cumin seeds and 100 jin (50 kg) of cumin powder, which only cost me 2500 yuan.

After thinking about it, I realized I still needed some delicate glass bottles to hold the flower essential oils, so I ordered thirty bottles in 30ml, thirty bottles in 50ml, and thirty bottles in 100ml sizes.

There are also one hundred 5ml mini glass bottles.

These glass bottles come in various colors and are exquisitely beautiful; one could buy them just for the bottles themselves.

After buying the items, Li Shuchen turned to face the wall, intending to go to sleep, and thought to himself...

"Little Jizi, please put the cumin in front of the window and the glass bottle on the octagonal table."

【...】

Not hearing a reply, Li Shuchen muttered to himself, "Little Jizi, please put the cumin in front of the window and the glass bottle on the octagonal table."

【...】

What happened? Did Xiao Jizi crash? Did the outer space system kill it? Oh my god, no way?

Li Shuchen suddenly sat up and tried calling out several more times, but still received no response. He pulled back the bed curtains and saw a pile of things on the floor, and suddenly felt relieved.

As long as the system is still usable, Xiao Jizi is fine.

He then got out of bed, placed the two hundred pounds of cumin on the floor in front of the window, and carefully picked up the glass bottles one by one and placed them on the octagonal table.

After she finished, she remembered that Xiao Jizi was in a deep sleep recovering her energy and couldn't help her.

I felt safe and went back to bed to sleep soundly.

……

"Miss, Miss, it's time to get up! Didn't you say you were going to buy lamb? If you don't go now, you won't be able to buy any."

Grape gently pushed Li Shuchen

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen abruptly stood up, rolled out of bed, and washed up.

"Miss, what's that by the window? It smells so good, like the seasoning from yesterday's roasted whole lamb. And how did this pretty little bottle come about? It's so exquisite."

The grapes smelled the spices, touched the glass bottle, and were incredibly curious.

Li Shuchen was washing his face, his eyes still closed, and blurted out, "The wealthy young master came to see me last night."

Grape was taken aback upon hearing this, then exclaimed happily, "These were all brought by wealthy young masters! No wonder they're so rare. Miss must have spent a lot of money!"

"That's right, it's all gone, not a single penny left."

Li Shuchen wiped his face with a towel and said calmly.

Grape scratched her head, puzzled, and asked, "Grape lives in the young lady's side room, so why didn't I hear a thing?"
