"Come in, I'm in the Yue Shan Room." Hearing someone calling him, Yan Nantian responded instinctively and said. After a while, a boy from Yuelaiju came in, looked at Liu Qiang and Yan Nantian, then smiled at Yan Nantian and said: "As the chef of Yan, there is a young man named Zhou Dawa outside, who claims to be from Yipinju Restaurant. "Brother, I want to see you for something." "What's the matter with him coming to see me so early?" Yan Nantian asked in confusion. "I don't even know. He just said it was an important matter and wanted to tell you personally." The boy said. "Where is he now?" "Because I was young and didn't know if what he was talking about was true. I didn't dare to let him into the restaurant easily, so I asked him to wait for news at the door of the restaurant." The waiter explained. "Okay, take me there now." Yan Nantian urged. Zhou Dawa was waiting for him at the door of Yuelaiju early in the morning. It was obvious that Yipinju had something urgent, and Yan Nantian couldn't help but feel worried. "Chef Yan, please come with me." The boy made an invitation gesture and said. "Yeah." Yan Nantian responded, nodded to Liu Qiang beside him, and then walked quickly towards the outside of Yuelaiju. ?¡ ?The entrance of Yuelaiju Restaurant. Zhou Dawa stood at the door of the restaurant with an anxious look on her face. She looked towards the door from time to time. Her clothes were wrinkled and there was a blood stain on her chest. At this moment, two figures walked out of Yuelaiju Restaurant. Zhou Dawa couldn't help but his eyes lit up. He ran up the steps of the restaurant and said, "Young shopkeeper, you finally came out." Yan Nantian looked at Zhou Dawa and saw him. Looking so embarrassed, he couldn't help but feel a little more worried in his heart, but the waiter in the restaurant was still standing aside, and he didn't rush to ask him. Yan Nantian took out a piece of silver from his arms, handed it to the boy not far away, and said, "Brother, please take this silver to drink tea." "Thank you, Master Yan." He received the gift from Yan Nantian. Silver, the boy's face showed a hint of joy, and his tone and demeanor became more respectful. "Yeah." Yan Nantian was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he, like Liu Qiang, would rise to the level of a master. However, he didn't understand at this time and just responded lightly. The young man was also a smart person. When he saw that Yan Nantian knew the other party and that he probably had something to talk about, he smiled and said, "Master Yan, I won't disturb the conversation between you two. I will leave first." "Okay." Yan Nantian He waved his hand and watched the boy leave. Then he turned to look at Zhou Dawa and said, "Daba, what happened? You came to me so early in the morning." "Young shopkeeper, the secret recipe for making tofu has been revealed. Someone stole it, and my father was also injured," Zhou Dawa said with a cry, as if she had found a backbone. "Uncle Zhou was injured, is it serious?" Yan Nantian said with a concerned look. "My dad's head was broken. The doctor said it's not life-threatening, but he hasn't woken up yet. The old shopkeeper is taking care of him." Zhou Dawa sobbed softly. ¡°Big boy, please tell me in detail what happened.¡± Yan Nantian¡¯s face darkened and he said. "Young shopkeeper, since you left, our Yipinju has hired another chef. This chef's name is Chen Banghe. Last night, this bastard sneaked into the old shopkeeper's room and stole the additives for making tofu. My father happened to discover it. , he severely injured my father and ran away," Zhou Dawa said with an angry look. "Dad, don't worry. Uncle Zhou will be fine. I'll tell the waiter in the restaurant and ask him to ask the shopkeeper for a leave of absence for me. Then I'll go back to Yipinju with you." Yan Nantian's face was livid, and he was filled with anger. It seemed like it was about to burst out. ?¡ ?Wujiang Town, Tudun Hutong, the second courtyard. The courtyard is not large in area. The ground is paved with gravel. There is a sapling planted on the right side and a stone table on the left. There is a man sitting on the stone table. This man is Chen Banghe. There is a teapot on the stone table. Chen Banghe is holding the teapot with both hands and is carefully observing the liquid in the teapot. It feels a bit like salty salt water, but it cannot be pure salty salt water. Otherwise, Yan Yunhua would not have to keep it secret at all. This commonly used thing is placed in the kitchen, but it is not easy for people to find abnormalities. Chen Banghe pondered for a moment, then stretched out the index finger of his right hand, preparing to dip some liquid into it to taste the taste. Before he could touch the liquid, there was a knock on the door: "Dong, dong, dong" Chen Banghe's 'àá' He suddenly stood up, looked warily in the direction of the door, and asked in a low voice: "Who?" "IMr. Zhou, open the door. "A man's voice came. "Wait a minute. " Chen Banghe breathed a sigh of relief, but did not go over to open the door immediately. Instead, he first put the teapot in his hand in a secret place and hid it. After hiding the teapot, Chen Banghe walked over to open the door and looked at the person standing outside the door. A young man turned out to be Zhou Wancai, the young manager of Babao Zhai Restaurant. ¡°Why did it take so long to open the door? Could it be that you are hiding something from me? "After Zhou Wancai walked into the courtyard, he glared at Chen Banghe, glanced at the courtyard again, and asked. "Young master Zhou is too worried. I can hide anything from you, it's just that I am a little slow. "Chen Banghe said perfunctorily. "Chen Banghe, have you got the secret recipe for making tofu? "Zhou Wancai didn't bother about opening the door, but asked about the topic he was most concerned about. "Mr. Zhou, don't be impatient, sit down first and talk slowly. "Chen Banghe smiled, made an invitation gesture, and said. "Chen Banghe, you are quite leisurely. Do you know how many officials are looking for you outside? Zhou Wancai snorted coldly and said. "Master Zhou, we are grasshoppers on the same rope now. If the official catches me, do you think you can get away with it?" " Chen Banghe asked back. "You" After hearing Chen Banghe's words, Zhou Wancai couldn't help but choked, waved his hand and said: "Stop talking about those useless things, quickly give me the secret recipe for making tofu, and then I will make the agreement I'll give you the good money, and we won't owe each other anything in the future. " "Mr. Zhou, do you have any money with you?" "Chen Banghe squinted his eyes, looked at Zhou Wancai and smiled. Seeing Chen Banghe staring at him, Zhou Wancai felt as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake. He couldn't help but shuddered and said, "I didn't take any money. I will wait until the secret recipe for making tofu is determined. Finally, I will naturally give the money to you. " "Mr. Zhou, since you don't have money with you, I won't give you the secret recipe for making tofu. How about handing over the money and the secret recipe next time? "Chen Banghe asked back. "If you don't let me see the method of making tofu, how can I be sure that it is the real secret recipe? " Zhou Wancai asked back. "Mr. Zhou, if you don't believe me, then there is no need for the transaction. Anyway, Babaozhai is not the only restaurant that wants to develop tofu methods. "Chen Banghe said nonchalantly. "Chen Banghe, if you want to cross the river and burn the bridge, don't forget that I planned this matter, otherwise you don't know what tofu is! " Zhou Wancai patted the stone table and asked in a low voice. "Yes, it is precisely because of your favor that I sold you the method of making tofu. Otherwise, where would it be for you Babaozhai? I would have developed the tofu with you. The secret recipe is gone. "Chen Banghe sneered. After hearing Chen Banghe's words, Zhou Wancai suddenly wilted, knowing that he was now in a weak position. After a moment of silence, he said: "Okay, I will go back to raise money now. When the time comes, I will hand over the money and the production of tofu. The secret recipe? " "Mr. Zhou, please wait a moment. "Seeing Zhou Wancai about to get up and leave, Chen Banghe stopped him and said. "What happened? Do you want to regret it? "Zhou Wancai's face changed slightly and he asked. "I'm not regretting it, but I want to change the transaction location. "Chen Banghe Road. "Change the trading location, where? "Zhou Wancai said. "About ten miles east of Wujiang Town, there is a forest with osmanthus trees. There is a small wooden house in the forest, and the trading place is placed there. "Chen Banghe said. "Why do you want to trade outside Wujiang Town? " Zhou Wancai said with a little more vigilance. "As long as you leave Wujiang Town, you will be traveling across the sea. No matter whether you are an official or a first-class person, you can't easily find us. Wouldn't it be more secure to trade? "Chen Banghe said with a smile. Outside Wujiang Town, there is an endless eternal forest. Powerful monsters live in the forest. It has become a common practice for the officials not to go outside the town to capture fugitives. "Humph, the officials of Wujiang Town , I guess you are already wanted. How did you get out of Wujiang Town? "Zhou Wancai snorted lightly and said. "Don't worry about this, I have my own way. "Chen Banghe said with a confident smile.
