"father."

After seeing the person who was speaking clearly, Wu Chunlai wanted to slap himself in the face and said carefully: "How come you are here?"

"Wu Chunlai, I know I am your father. Didn't you tell me to get out just now?" Wu Zhendong strode over, grabbed Wu Chunlai's neck and scolded.

The reason why Wu Zhendong was angry was not because he was offended by his son, but because he had just discovered the huge business opportunity of tofu and was convincing the Yan family's grandchildren to cooperate with him, but was disturbed by Wu Chunlai.

"Dad, I didn't know that you were in the side hall. This kid deliberately provoked it." Wu Chunlai looked bitter and pushed the blame to Yan Nantian, and said intimidly:

"This kid must have wanted to embarrass me. If I had told me in a low voice that the old man in the side hall would have been, I would have gone in long ago. As for such a big joke?"

"Stop talking nonsense. What's your attitude just now? Why don't you apologize to the young manager quickly?" Wu Zhendong opened his mouth and scolded him. The tofu in his mouth splashed out, splashing Wu Chunlai's face in front of him.

Wu Zhendong had just eaten stinky tofu, and his mouth was full of smell of stinky tofu. The two of them were less than one foot apart, and their tone was sprayed on Wu Chunlai's face, almost killing Wu Chunlai.

"Dad, why do you ask me to apologize to this kid? The Yan family still owes our family rent." Wu Chunlai said a little dissatisfied when he heard Wu Zhendong's words.

"You are just thinking about the rent. Can you have some promising interest?" Wu Zhendong scolded.

Wu Zhendong has been doing business all his life, and his vision is extraordinary. Once the ingredients such as tofu are mass-produced, they will get more than one million benefits. Now it is too late to curry favor with the grandchildren of the Yan family. If it is ruined because of a small amount of 100 taels of silver, he will have the intention to kill Wu Chunlai.

Seeing that I was angry, Wu Chunlai dared not act rashly. He bowed his head and was scolded like a primary school student. He didn't dare to say a word at all, which caused several diners to sneer:

"This fat man Wu is very good at caring. After pretending to be a master for a long time, he scolded me."

"That's right, they are all old neighbors in the town. Fatty Wu doesn't even care about anything, and he actually wants to rent the restaurant to outsiders."

"I heard that Mr. Wu is so powerful, it's so good to have this fat man."

Hearing the sneer of everyone, Wu Chunlai's face turned red, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. He said with courage: "Dad, what's wrong with you? What kind of ecstasy soup did the Yan family give you?"

"Shut up, there is no place for you to talk here. This restaurant is only rented to Yipinju. If you dare to come to Yipinju again to cause trouble, I will expel you from the Wu family." Wu Zhendong cursed.

"Dad, don't be angry, I'll just listen to you." Wu Chunlai shivered and said hurriedly.

"Shousing manager, today's affairs are offensive. I will take my bad boy home first and come to apologize tomorrow. I hope you can think about the business we are discussing just now." Wu Zhendong's attitude was very low and he said politely.

"Old Wu is polite. It is natural to collect rent for housing. The rent for the restaurant tomorrow will be collected. I'm waiting for the big car." Yan Nantian bowed and said.

"The rent is not urgent, you can do business safely and say goodbye." The matter is so much like this, and Wu Zhendong couldn't continue to stay here. He gave Wu Chunlai a wink and walked outside Yipinju.

Wu Chunlai followed his father like a defeated rooster. When he came, he was aggressive and arrogant, but when he left, he was disgraceful. He felt so uncomfortable.

"Dad, what's wrong with you? Why are you so polite to the grandparents and grandchildren of the Yan family?" After leaving Yipinju, Wu Chunlai asked carefully.

"Because only Yipinju can make tofu." Wu Zhendong said.

"So what? What does it have to do with our Wu family?" Wu Chunlai asked.

"Silly." Wu Zhendong scolded and explained: "It is vaguely expensive. Any monopolized item will generate huge benefits, and the same is true for tofu."

"Dad, do you want to run a tofu business?" Wu Chunlai thought for a moment and asked.

"This is not a place to talk, let's talk about it when you go home." Wu Zhendong said a word and then got into his own carriage.

...

After watching the Wu family’s father and son leave, Zhou Dacheng came to his senses and said incrediblely: “Sister-in-law, the rent matter is solved like this.”

A smile appeared on Yan Nantian's face and did not answer Zhou Dacheng's words. He did not expect things to develop like this. Wu Zhendong's sensitivity and mind to business opportunities also surprised Yan Nantian.

After learning that only Yipinju could make tofu, Wu Zhendong became interested in tofu and proposed to cooperate with Yipinju to make the big tofu market together.

Yan Nantian did not agree to Wu Zhendong, nor did he clearly refuse the prescription. As long as the tofu production method is not leaked, Yipinju can be invincible.

After thinking for a while, Yan Nantian found that the man who came with Wu Chunlai had not left yet, and asked, "I don't know what to call this guest official?"

"I'm going to disturb your store." Wang Xuefu said with an embarrassment.

What happened just now happened so suddenly that not only made Wu Chunlai confused, but Wang Xuefu was also very embarrassed, and it was not easy to leave with the Wu family and his son, but just stood there stupidly.

"If so, if you guess well, Brother Wang will be the new tenant Wu Chun is looking for." Yan Nantian tentatively said.

"Haha." Wang Xuefuqiang squeezed out a smile and said in response to the question: "Young shopkeeper, I heard that Yipinju has made a new dish. I want to try it, but I don't know if it's okay?"

Seeing that Wang Xuefu did not answer directly, he did not leave immediately, but instead prepared to stay and taste the dishes. Although Yan Nantian was a little disgusted, he was not good to drive him out in public and said:

"The visitor is a guest, can I drive you out?"

...

Wujiang Town, Babaozhai Restaurant.

Zhou Bajing sat at the table, holding a teapot in his hand, drinking herbal tea in big mouthfuls. Even so, it was still difficult to extinguish the flames in his heart.

After Yipinju made tofu dishes, the hot business made Zhou Bajing jealous. Today, Wu Zhendong arranged another dish, which further strengthened his determination to develop tofu.

Zhou Bajing took another sip of herbal tea, glanced at his son standing next to him, and asked, "I asked you to check before, what are you doing now in the relationship between Yipinju and Lingchu Zhou Xuebin?"

After hearing his father's question, Zhou Wancai hurriedly bowed and replied: "Dad, according to the investigation of the entourage I sent, it is said that Yan Nantian was appreciated by a spiritual chef after he made the tofu. He is likely to accept Yan Nantian as his apprentice."

"What, I was accepted as an apprentice by Lingchu!" Zhou Bajing was shocked, stood up from the stool, and asked, "Where did this news come from? Can you be sure?"

"I found out from the market and don't know the exact source of the news." Zhou Wancai said truthfully.

"Then you continue to investigate and make sure to clarify the relationship between Yipinju and Zhou Xuebin." Zhou Bajing ordered with a solemn look on his face.

"Don't worry, I will always arrange for people to pay attention." Zhou Wancai responded, glanced at his father, and asked, "Dad, what should we do now? Should we continue to send people to stare at Yipinju?"

"No, Lingchu is not something we can mess with. As long as we don't understand the relationship between Yipinju and Zhou Xuebin, we must not use excessive means." Zhou Bajing said.

"Dad, then do we have to give up developing tofu?" Zhou Wancai said unwillingly.

"It's not to give up, but to change the method." Zhou Bajing pondered for a moment and asked.

If it were a normal thing, Zhou Bajing would never risk offending Ling Chu, but the interests and prospects of tofu were too tempting, making Zhou Bajing unable to give up.

"Steal the teacher's post!" Zhou Bajing raised his eyebrows, and a light flashed in his eyes.

"Stealing the teacher's post! Isn't that Ling Chu's method?" Zhou Wancai asked in surprise after hearing his father's words.

"Stealing Tie" is a term in the chef industry. It was passed down from Lingchu. It is considered a cooking competition between Lingchus. It is rarely used by ordinary chefs and restaurants.

The so-called "stealing teacher's post" means that if a restaurant wants to learn the dishes from another restaurant, it must openly send a "stealing teacher's post" and then buy the dishes ten times the price, so that its chef can obtain the recipe and ingredients of the dish by tasting the dishes.

This rule occurs because Lingchu recipes are extremely precious, and each dish is very expensive. Sometimes, fierce and bloody battles often occur in order to compete for a recipe, resulting in unnecessary casualties.

Therefore, this rule was set among Lingchus. In this way, both the stolen masters and the restaurants where the stolen masters can obtain certain benefits and opportunities, which eases the struggle between Lingchus to a certain extent.
