Chapter 121 Barbeque Stall
The sunlight outside the window shines through the gauze and shines on every corner of the study.
Ji Yunlin glanced at the five silver ingots on the table with disdain, then glanced at Lu Yundi with a scornful smile on his lips.
Lu Yundi sat on a mahogany chair, wearing a light blue silk dress. She had picturesque features and an elegant temperament.
Facing Ji Yunlin's contempt, she just smiled slightly, with unfathomable wisdom in her eyes.
"Master Ji, what do you mean?" Lu Yundi asked softly, his voice as gentle but firm as a spring breeze blowing across the water.
Ji Yunlin put away his smile and said seriously, "Madam, do you know what these five silver ingots represent?"
Lu Yundi nodded slightly and said, "Master Ji, these five silver ingots are just trivial things. How can they represent the wealth of the Yan Mansion?"
Ji Yunlin sneered and said, "Madam, you are wrong. Although these five silver ingots are small, they represent the reputation of the Yan Mansion. If you tamper with them, won't it damage the reputation of the Yan Mansion?"
Lu Yundi smiled lightly, with a sly look in his eyes: "Master Ji, you misunderstood. These five silver ingots are just a small token of appreciation from the Yan Mansion to thank you for your guidance of my son. As for the reputation of the Yan Mansion, I believe you will not question it because of such a small matter."
Ji Yunlin frowned. He didn't expect Lu Yundi to be so clever. He was speechless for a moment.
"Master Ji, look at this study, do you feel that something is missing?" Lu Yundi changed the subject and pointed to the books on the bookshelf.
Ji Yunlin looked around and said, "Madam, this study has a rich collection of books. I wonder what is missing?"
Lu Yundi smiled gently and said, "Master Ji, have you ever noticed that there is only one copy of the Book of Changes missing from the bookshelf in this study? The Book of Changes is a classic work of ancient my country. If there is a copy in the study, I believe it will make it more perfect."
Ji Yunlin was slightly stunned. He did not expect Lu Yundi to mention the Book of Changes. He pondered for a moment and said, "Madam, what you said makes sense. However, the Book of Changes is a profound work and is very important. If I want to put a copy in my study, I must be confident enough to master it."
Lu Yundi's eyes flashed with praise, and he said, "Master Ji, I believe in your talent. I am willing to give you this Book of Changes, and I only hope that you can reach a higher level in academics."
Ji Yunlin looked at Lu Yundi, secretly admiring her wit and courage. He said in a deep voice: "Madam, you trust me so much, I will definitely live up to your expectations. I accept this "Book of Changes"."
After that, Ji Yunlin picked up five silver ingots from the table, handed them to Lu Yundi, and said, "Madam, I will return these five silver ingots to you in their original form. In the future, if you have any academic questions, I will do my best to answer them for you."
Lu Yundi took the silver ingot, smiled gently, and said, "Master Ji, I feel a little embarrassed that you are so polite. I hope you can give me more guidance in the future."
……
The next morning, the morning mist on Kowloon Street had not yet completely dissipated, but Lu Yundi's barbecue stall was opened as soon as she said she would. Her figure seemed even more resolute in the hazy smoke, as if this small stall was her fortress against the wind and rain of the world.
"Madam, today's business will definitely be better than yesterday." The maid Lu Hulu said excitedly while arranging the tables and chairs.
Lu Yundi smiled slightly, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Lu Hulu, do you think yesterday was not good enough?"
Green Gourd bit his lip and answered carefully: "Yesterday's business was already very good, but Madam, your craftsmanship is so good, I believe more people will come to taste it today."
Lu Yundi gently patted Lu Hulu's shoulder, his eyes full of praise: "You are always so good at talking, Lu Hulu, you are my most capable assistant."
At this time, a customer came over, and Lu Yundi immediately threw herself into the work. Her skillful technique and the aroma of the baked food attracted many passers-by to stop and look.
"Madam, these skewers are so delicious!" exclaimed an old customer.
Lu Yundi smiled and replied: "Thank you for the compliment. This is what I should do. Please try this new flavor to see if it suits your taste."
The old customer took a bite and nodded in praise: "This taste is unique and extremely delicious!"
As time went by, the barbecue stall business became better and better, and people were constantly coming and going on Kowloon Street. Lu Yundi and Lu Hulu were very busy, but they were in a very good mood.
"Green Hulu, look over there, that young man seems very interested in our skewers." Lu Yundi said, pointing at a young man in the distance.
Green Gourd looked up, with a flash of surprise in his eyes: "That young man has an extraordinary temperament, he must be a noble young man. Madam, should we go over and introduce him to him?"
Lu Yundi smiled slightly: "Okay, let's go and try it."
They walked up to the young master, and Lu Yundi said respectfully, "Hello, young master. This is our new barbecue skewers, with a unique taste. Would you like to try it?"
The young man looked at Lu Yundi, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes: "Your craftsmanship is indeed good, I am willing to try."
Lu Yundi personally grilled a skewer for the young master and handed it to him: "Young master, please enjoy it."
The young master took a bite and immediately showed a surprised expression: "This taste is really wonderful, I have never tasted such delicious food."
Lu Yundi and Lu Hulu smiled at each other, their hearts filled with joy.
As the sun gradually set, the barbecue stall's business gradually quieted down. Lu Yundi and Lu Hulu packed up their stall and prepared to go home.
"Madam, we made a lot of money today!" said Green Gourd excitedly.
Lu Yundi looked at Lu Hulu with a smile and said, "Lu Hulu, we need to do a better job in this business and let more people know about our delicious food."
As night fell, the lights on Kowloon Street gradually lit up. Lu Yundi and Lu Hu returned to the Mansion of the Loyal and Brave Marquis with a full harvest.
The next day, inside the Lu Mansion, the morning light shone through the thin window paper and poured into the room with carved beams and painted buildings.
Mrs. Lu sat on a rosewood armchair, with a piece of roasted meat on the table in front of her, which was specially sent by Lu Yundi. Her eyes revealed fatigue and anger, and the teacup in her hand trembled slightly.
Lu Yundi walked in lightly, her steps were brisk and there was a faint smile on her face, as if she was unaware of Mrs. Lu's anger.
Mrs. Lu glanced at her coldly, with dissatisfaction in her tone: "Yun Di, what do you mean by this?"
Lu Yundi was slightly startled, then she covered her mouth and chuckled, with a hint of cunning in her smile: "Mother, you didn't seem very happy last night, I think this barbecue may bring you some comfort."
Mrs. Lu frowned, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes: "Do you think this can make up for your mistakes?"
Lu Yundi's smile faded slightly. She sat down opposite Mrs. Lu and said in a gentle voice, "I know my actions last night made you angry, but I really just wanted to add some joy to the mansion."
"Happy?" Madam Lu sneered, "Do you know that what you did last night has caused a lot of talk in the whole mansion?"
