Chapter 414 Work

Ye Lulu smiled and said, “You’re the auntie from the Li family, right? It’s true that you’ve cooked for many years, but how is cooking at home the same as cooking in a restaurant?”

After experiencing this scene as soon as she returned to the village, Ye Lulu already understood the mentality of most people in Yunwu Village. She only spoke to them politely.

Women from farmer families, or rather, most ordinary families, had cooked for decades. Not to mention anything else, even in the modern era, how could the home-cooked dishes be compared to the dishes made in restaurants outside? Furthermore, in ancient times, farmers and people in the mountains were poor. Families might only have the simplest stews daily. How could they go to the shop to be chefs?

Chefs were professionals who had specialized skills. Otherwise, how could there be things such as apprentices and chefs for thousands of years?

Therefore, Ye Lulu was speechless at what this auntie from the Li family had said.

Unexpectedly, not only did that auntie from the Li family not retreat, but she also looked at Ye Lulu with even more contempt. She rebutted, “What are you talking about? A beggar from a foreign land like you can open a shop and cook even though you’re only in your teens. If you can be a chef, doesn’t that mean that I’m better at it? If you’re qualified, then I can definitely cook much better than you.”

It was simply unbelievable.

No one was willing to be insulted in front of others like this. This even happened a few times.

Moreover, the other party wanted to take advantage of her.

How shameless?!

Ye Lulu laughed in anger and said, “Mother Li, I’m from a foreign land, which means you don’t know what my family does. I can open a restaurant because I come from a chef family and we own a restaurant. I have the special recipes, so I can open a restaurant.”

“Why? Are you more powerful just because you’re older?”

“Let me ask you. How are pork trotters prepared? What dishes can be prepared with geese? What should be done with mutton so that it doesn’t smell fishy? What dishes can be made with pig stomach and chicken? Answer me. Can you answer me?”

Ye Lulu’s rude questions were not only mocking but they were a legit series of questions.

The Li family’s auntie could not argue because she was speechless. She was completely stunned by Ye Lulu.

How could people in the mountains have had the chance to eat geese and mutton? Even if they had, it was extremely rare.

She knew about pork trotters. Her family knew how to cook them as well, but they only did it once a year. Every time Auntie Li cooked, in order to not waste any seasonings, she would stew it in plain water and eat it with meat sauce.

The secret recipe was not important. What was important was not to waste ingredients.

Auntie Li naturally knew that her methods were not presentable at all. Who would like to eat pork trotters boiled in plain water?

Then, there were geese, mutton, pig stomach, and chicken. It was extremely rare for these farmers to eat them. How could Auntie Li say anything? Her words were arrogant just now, but they were immediately exposed.

To put it bluntly, she had always habitually looked down on Ye Lulu.

Ye Lulu was about to die from laughter from this group of villagers. They must have heard that her shop was hiring chefs for twenty taels of silver a month, so they surrounded her with green eyes.

However, this had already happened a few times. Why did this group of people think that they could use their relationship of being in the same village to take advantage of her?
