This meal, for Huang Rong, was naturally not considered top-notch deliciousness, but she didn't know why, she was very happy and satisfied eating it.
A quarter of an hour later, the two of them had finished all the food.
"Are you full?"
"Hmm! I'm full!"
"Then I'll clean up, let's go fishing again."
"Okay! I'm definitely going to catch more fish than you this afternoon!"
Huang Rong was full of confidence.
An hour later.
"I caught five, you only caught three, it seems I won."
The settlement was completed, Lu Yu successfully won.
"Humph! This is all because your spare fishing rod is not easy to use, so I lost. I'll make a fishing rod myself tomorrow, and we'll compete again."
Huang Rong was not convinced, she felt it definitely wasn't her fault.
"Alright. Maybe I can mooch off another meal tomorrow."
Lu Yu naturally had no objections.
Winning, he would make a fortune; Losing, he would still have a beauty to accompany him for dinner, it wouldn't be a loss either way.
"You can dream. Tomorrow I'm definitely winning."
Huang Rong was full of confidence.
"Then let's decide the winner tomorrow. It's getting late, I'll send you back and bring the fish over. The fish from this morning wasn't enough, these fish will make up for it."
"Okay!"
Tongfu Inn.
Kitchen.
Lu Yu brought over the fish he had just caught in the afternoon, while Huang Rong went back to her room to tidy up.
As soon as he entered the kitchen, Lu Yu smelled some strange smells.
Then he saw eight strange dishes on the table beside the stove.
Subconsciously, he used the Aura Appraisal Technique, and Lu Yu was stunned.
Because above these eight dishes, there was actually a golden glow of luck!
Although the golden glow of luck on them was thinner than the Double-edged Set, it was still a lucky item.
"Little Lu! You're here."
Li Da Zui saw Lu Yu and spoke.
Hearing this, Lu Yu turned his gaze to him.
Only to see that Li Da Zui was somewhat dejected, as if he had just suffered a setback.
"What's wrong with you?"
Lu Yu asked curiously.
"Ugh, don't mention it. I wasn't developing new dishes, was I? I listened to Lao Bai's suggestion, changed the steamed to braised, and the boiled to fried, hoping for a surprise.
But after making it, not only was there no appearance, but also no taste, it was so bad it was unbearable. My new dish development was completely a failure."
Li Da Zui said dejectedly.
Hearing this, Lu Yu understood what was going on.
It turned out that these eight dishes were Li Da Zui's legendary dishes.
Of course, these famous dishes were not because they were delicious, but because they were dark enough.
Spicy Fish Scales, Glutinous Rice Wine Turnip Skins, Braised Pang Da Hai, Deep-fried Cucumber, Steamed Yellow Croaker, Charcoal-grilled Sow's Trotters, Egg Drop Soup, and Rock Sugar Fat Intestines!
No wonder he felt a little familiar when he saw them.
"It doesn't look very appetizing."
Lu Yu laughed.
But he was very envious now.
Because these were all lucky items!
And eight of them!
He's going to be rich.
"Ugh, I'll just throw away these dishes quickly. If the Boss sees them, he'll definitely say I'm wasting ingredients and will fine me again."
Li Da Zui said as he was about to throw away the dishes.
Lu Yu's mind stirred, and he said, "Big Mouth Brother, give me these dishes. Maybe they can be used as fish bait."
"Hmm? Alright. Then take them. I have a food box here, you can use it to take them home."
Hearing this, Li Da Zui didn't refuse, since they were already ruined, if Lu Yu wanted them, he could just give them to him.
Eight lucky items were successfully obtained, Lu Yu was overjoyed.
This time, it really was effortless.
"Little Lu, do you think I might lose my job after a while?"
Li Da Zui's words were filled with worry.
"How could that be? We've all lived together for so long, we have feelings. Boss Tong is a person who values feelings, how could she let you go?"
"But with Huang Rong appearing, my status has dropped a lot. After a while, she might not even let me be the chef.
What else would I stay here to do?"
"You don't need to worry about this. Miss Huang won't stay in Seven Heroes Town for long. At most a few months, she'll leave."
"Really?"
Li Da Zui was filled with joy at the news.
"Of course it's true. Look closely, does Miss Huang look like a girl from a poor family?"
"Doesn't look like it."
"Right, so she's just looking for fun, staying here temporarily, when she's had her fun, she'll naturally leave.
So you don't need to worry at all.
Moreover, if I were you, I would definitely curry favor with Miss Huang during this period."
"Curry favor with her? Why?"
Li Da Zui asked in confusion.
"Think about it, her cooking skills are so good, if she can teach you a trick or two, won't your cooking skills improve? When your skills improve, the Inn's business will definitely get better too.
Although you won't be promoted, a raise is definitely no problem.
So, to put it bluntly, Miss Huang won't hinder your work at the Inn, she's actually a great opportunity for you."
The more Li Da Zui listened, the more he felt it made sense, then he slapped his thigh and said, "Right! You're right! You're a scholar after all!
From today on, I'll help Miss Huang! I'll observe and learn well."
"That's right."
Lu Yu smiled.
Just at that moment, Huang Rong came in.
"Big Fatty, the Boss asked me to come make dinner, you have to let me use the kitchen."
Huang Rong was a smart person, she naturally knew that her arrival was a considerable pressure on Li Da Zui.
But she was too lazy to explain anything to Li Da Zui.
After all, she had seen his hostility towards her clearly before.
This morning, Huang Rong wanted to go into the kitchen to make something to eat, but Li Da Zui directly kicked her out.
He said according to Boss Tong, she could only use the kitchen at night, not during the day.
This made Huang Rong furious.
If it were before, she would have already started thinking of ways to prank Li Da Zui.
But this time, for Lu Yu's sake, she wouldn't hold a grudge against him over these trifles.
"Okay! Miss Huang, the kitchen is yours. I'll help you out, shall I?"
Li Da Zui greeted her with a smile, even a little ingratiating, his attitude was a complete 180-degree turn from before.
This made Huang Rong very puzzled.
She glanced at Lu Yu beside her, and Huang Rong immediately understood.
It must have been Lu Yu who did something.
"Okay, then you go kill a chicken first."
Huang Rong said.
"Okay! No problem!"
Li Da Zui left the kitchen and went to the backyard to pick out a chicken to slaughter.
"What did you say to Big Fatty? His attitude suddenly changed so much?"
Huang Rong seized the opportunity to ask Lu Yu.
Lu Yu immediately repeated what he had just said to Li Da Zui to Huang Rong, and Huang Rong understood.
"I never said I was going to teach him. Looking at him, he doesn't seem very intelligent, he wouldn't be able to learn my dishes."
"It's okay, he's learning from you, whatever he can learn is his good fortune, you haven't asked him to be your disciple."
"Alright. For your sake, I reluctantly agree. But I want to eat the steamed fish you made tomorrow."
Huang Rong smiled.
"No problem! That's settled."
