Yan Shuang left as if she had never been here.
Seeing the empty house, Ming Li felt very disappointed.
Coming to Cui Hua Lou and leaving with her virginity, this was simply a slap in the face.
How could he let such a beautiful girl escape from his clutches?
Even the old hen in the kitchen seemed to be a little disdainful of him these days.
It was simply the biggest joke in the world.
Fortunately, he was very busy with work and did not have much time to think.
Ever since he took charge of the kitchen, the Cuihua Brothel's food was famous far and wide. For a time, customers gathered and forcefully made the other three brothels deserted, while the Cuihua Brothel was the best.
The most popular thing was that since Li Ming's live performance of cooking.
Roasted duck, braised pork trotters, boiled cabbage, Buddha jumps over the wall…
Delicacies appeared on the scene one after another. The visual senses, the temptation on the tip of the tongue, and the teasing on the taste buds made the people who had eaten the dishes unable to stop. There were even phenomena of licking the plates.
Licking the plate once might be a ploy, but what about multiple times?
For a time, people were talking about Li Ming, the chef of Cui Hua Restaurant. It was said that this chef was handsome and very loyal to people. Moreover, there was an unwritten rule that he only cooked one dish a day.
No matter if you were a high official or a rich merchant, no matter what, he would only cook one dish a day. After he finished cooking, he would turn around and leave, leaving only his proud back.
There was a popular saying in Lu City: "No matter how much money you spend, don't even think about getting Chef Li to cook another dish!”
People in ancient times did not understand the principle that something was precious when it was rare. Li Ming played it vividly in this era. The more they couldn't get something, the more they wanted to buy it.
"Fragrance Yard's Guo Qianwan ate Chef Li's dishes last night. How can a small fry like him deserve to eat Chef Li's dishes? I earn ten times more money than him every year. I want to eat Chef Li's dishes tomorrow!”
"His dishes are very expensive!"
Don't talk nonsense in front of me. I'm so poor that I have nothing but silver left. Hurry up and call a few carriages for me and put the ingots in them. I want to use gold ingots to suppress everyone.
Rich people were now putting in all their effort. The price of Liming's dishes rose with the tide. The price of a dish was dozens of taels. Even the stir-fried cabbage was priced at more than twenty taels.
Why did this brother only bring a dozen taels of silver? I advise you to go to the Lin family's small shop. You can be a master there for more than ten days.
The most lively atmosphere was when Chef Li and Hu Yingying went on stage at the same time.
Miss Yingying didn't act coy at all. She opened her mouth and began to scold the customers below.
This kind of appearance was unique in the establishment of the brothel. It was actually favored by many men. According to some customers, they were itchy all over if they were not scolded.
The most surprising thing was that a rich old man who had been bedridden for many years was actually scolded awake.
Therefore, Yingying was very popular. However, the real money-making event was the auction segment after she left.
From stockings to underwear, from shoes to clothes, as long as Yingying used them, the price was very high.
Du Shiniang was very good at doing business. She took the things that the other girls had used and said that they were used by Yingying.
Even the original underwear that she had worn before was sold for a record price.
The other limelight was Li Ming.
Chef Li was neither proud nor discouraged. Delicious dishes were served on the table with a raise of his hand.
Every time he brought the dishes to the table, he did not say a word. He casually raised his finger. How many fingers did it represent the price of the dishes?
It was said that there was a rich man who came to Cui Hua Restaurant for a meal for the first time. Li Ming saw it and stretched out four fingers. He immediately shouted,"I'll pay four taels of silver!"”Li Ming poured the food into the swill bucket at that time, which angered all the customers. They directly pressed this pretentious guy to the ground and beat him up.
Summer, May.
The moon was bright and clear. Tonight, it was Li Ming and Hu Yingying who appeared on stage together.
Cuihua Brothel seemed to be quite busy. Every girl was carefully dressing herself up, preparing to do something big tonight.
However, no matter how busy the girls were, they did not forget a young man.
"Ming Bro, this is the orange I just peeled!”
"You even pulled out the tendons on the orange. You're so meticulous!”
"Brother Ming, the customer gave me a lot of tips last night. I'm counting the money until my fingers are bruised. Hurry up and help me take a look!”
"If you can't count, I'll count for you. If it's less, don't blame me!”
"Brother Ming, when you were showering last night, I stole a few glances at you. Your Godly Sea Steadying Needle is really big!”
"It's even bigger than the banana I used a few days ago!”
Ever since Li Ming settled down in Cui Hua Lou, the girls 'money bags became more and more bulging, and their moods became especially comfortable. Everyone was in a very good mood.
He knew how to cook and how to fight poverty. Occasionally, a lewd poem would immediately make the girls run back to their rooms to change their underwear. When the girls were with him, they fully experienced what it meant to fall in love at first sight.
All the girls were eager to give it a try, hoping that they could guide him on the spot in terms of sex, but to their disappointment, none of them succeeded.
As the saying goes,"A rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its nest!"”
Although the girls had failed repeatedly and could not get physical satisfaction. However, being able to be with such a rare man every day was also a kind of enjoyment.
Liming's face was covered in lipstick marks. An outstanding man would inevitably be taken advantage of by many women.
Just as Michael was enjoying the endless luck of a woman, Mrs. Du ran over anxiously and pretended to be angry."You bunch of lazy pigs only know how to revolve around Ming Li every day. If you don't start work, I'll make you drink foot washing water!”
This move stunned the girls. They reluctantly left Ming Li and returned to their jobs.
After everyone had left, Du Shiniang attentively handed over a towel and said softly,""I'm afraid something will happen here tonight!”
"I've already made arrangements. I realized that there were more customers these few days, so I sent Dumb Liu to buy many tables and chairs yesterday!"”
"It doesn't have anything to do with that!"
"When I opened the door just now, I saw Boss Wang from the imperial kitchen come with a large group of people. He looked aggressive." Du Shiniang hurriedly said.”
"Imperial Cuisine?" Ming Li asked curiously.”
Du Shiniang quickly said," That's the biggest restaurant in the north of the city. Boss Wang's background is not clean. When Lu City was just established, he was one of the first batch of people to come from inside the pass. He made a lot of money and colluded with the yamen. Relying on his relationship with the yamen, he kept many underworld people under him. It is said that Hai Wai is supported by him!”
Li Ming now somewhat understood.
He opened a brothel but came to Cuihua Restaurant. This was something that people had to be wary of.
The business of Lu City was very orderly. Different industries were distributed in different areas. For example, brothels were distributed in the fireworks street in the west of the city, and restaurants were distributed in the food street in the north of the city.
Liming had turned the rotten into the magical in Cui Hua Lou, successfully combining brothels and restaurants. Rich people flocked there, and it was definitely a fatal blow to the imperial kitchen, which also did high-end business.
"According to my careful observation, there seems to be a cook among this group of people!”
Du Shiniang asked with a worried expression,"I don't think Boss Wang has anything good to say here. He seems to be here to cause trouble!"”
Bringing a cook to our brothel, isn't this Sima Zhao's intention, everyone knows.
Ming Li clenched his fists and smiled confidently.
"You dare to come and cause trouble?”（）
