Yunmeng Ballad: I opened a restaurant in the Warring States Period

When returning to Yunmengju, Maimai thought about it, and finally told Chu Yunmeng what he saw in Deyue Tower today.

She knew that her master didn't like rebellious people, but things hurt others. Seeing that Ah Yue, who was originally of similar status to her, was so miserable because of a single thought, she couldn't bear it.

"I know what you're thinking..." Chu Yunmeng was silent for a long time, and finally spoke.

"You should know that I hate betrayed people the most. If I hadn't discovered it early, Yunmengju might not have been able to open very early. Then maybe it was me who fell into that situation, and you might still be in the hands of others , tossing and falling..."

What he said made Maimai feel sad, so he stopped talking and left again and again.

Xiaomi, who accidentally overheard the conversation between the two, quickly caught up with Mai.

"Why are you mentioning that person? With such bad intentions, it's better to think about how to help the master share some burdens."

Xiaomi was very dissatisfied with Mai Mai for making Chu Yunmeng sad, and his tone was very bad.

Although she handled things safely and seemed weak and weak, she had a clear love and hate in her bones, and she couldn't rub the sand in her eyes.

He was more ruthless than Chu Yunmeng.

Because she had stayed in a place like the Chu Palace, she knew how unpredictable the consequences of a momentary woman's benevolence would be.

She knew that the master had had a hard time before. Although he seemed to be respected, he had to endure all kinds of attacks, both open and secret.

Now hiding in the market, doing what you like, and staying away from all disputes, it's not as easy as it seems on the surface.

She knew very well how much effort it would take to balance such a big booth while avoiding the eyes of interested people.

Sometimes when she got up in the middle of the night, she could still see the lights in the master's house on.

Although all the different sections are distributed to everyone, the real decision-making and solution are the master alone.In fact, they are all just helping to share some physical work.

"Master is right. If Ah Yue had succeeded in the past, she would be the one who suffers now. I don't know which master's family beat us up and sold us at will. How could we have a good life now..."

Xiaomi burst into tears: "You thought that person was pitiful and came to plead for mercy. When the master was alone looking for new ingredients, developing new dishes, cooking Yunmeng delicacies, and dealing with Cheng Yin and those people, where were you? Just helped the master share a little bit, and came to trouble her with these messy things again!"

Wheat also seemed to realize that his behavior was inappropriate, and was silent for a while, but he couldn't help but argue:

"I just... Just seeing her reminds me of my past."

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help covering his mouth and began to cry, big teardrops fell down.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Xiaomi panicked: "I just... just said a few words to you, and I didn't really want to do anything to you..."

"Xiaomi, when I heard the manager of Deyuelou beating her and saying vicious words, I remembered my past..."

Before Xiaomai finished speaking, the words in his mouth were blocked by sobs again.

It seems that Mai Mai has really lived through a lot of hard times, Xiaomi thought while stroking Mai Mai's back with his hands, it took him a long time to catch his breath, and continued to sob and choke.

"Because my family was poor, I was sold into a noble family by my parents and became a female singer. I was originally delicious and comfortable, and the master's son was gentle with me. For this reason, I was so stupid as to thank my parents for finding me a Good place to stay."

Mai Mai twitched the corners of her mouth, as if laughing at her ignorance: "But when I started frequenting banquets and entertaining the guests, everything changed. I completely became a plaything, not only for the host to play with, but also for the host. Being bullied and beaten by guests."

"After the master got tired of me, he casually stuffed me into the person he wanted to win over like throwing a broken bowl." Mai Mai covered her face and continued whining.

"Since then, I have been turned around by different masters. It's really like a decoration. No master has ever treated me as a human being. They scolded them when they were happy, and beat them when they were unhappy."

Mai Mai continued to wipe away tears: "The strength of the beating is stronger than that of the steward of Deyuelou; the words he said are also more vicious than the steward of Deyuelou... In the end, he even sold me to the military market (1)..."

"If it weren't for being beaten to disfigurement and thrown back into the slave market, I might have spent my entire life in darkness." Mai let go of the hair that had been hanging on the side of her face, and took off her clothes.

Xiaomi was surprised to find that there was a long scar on the side of Mai Mai's face, which she and Yunmengju had never noticed before.

But without the cover of the clothes, Mai Mai's back and front abdomen were covered with criss-crossing scars.It appears to have been struck with thorn strips.

Xiaomi caressed these scars, trembling: "I'm sorry, Mai, I don't know you have suffered so much, I shouldn't scold you..."

"No, you're right!" Mai Mai stopped Xiaomi's words: "Without my boss, I would still be living in a dark life. My boss is my reborn parents, but I feel sorry for the person who almost made her go home. Sympathize with her."

"I really didn't consider the issue from the perspective of my boss, and I was very impatient. I'm sorry for my boss." Mai Mai trembled again: "But at that time, it was just a ghost, and I felt as if I saw myself back then."

"Don't worry, Master is a magnanimous person." Xiaomi continued to comfort: "Since she said the truth, she is definitely not angry with you."

Mai no longer expresses her uneasiness to Xiaomi.

Maybe she settled down after venting her emotions, or maybe she was too embarrassed to ask Xiaomi to comfort her, so she fell silent.

I just thought in my heart that the damage to my boss has already been done, and no matter how much I am sorry, it will not help. In the future, I can only repay my boss by working harder.

But early the next morning, Chu Yunmeng took her to Deyue Tower.

She and Li Dong's family talked for a long time in the reception room, and they didn't come out until noon.

"We have discussed with Li Dong's family that Ah Yue can be redeemed, but Yunmengju won't want her, and I won't want her either." Chu Yunmeng said to Mai Mai: "You decide how to deal with it. But everything related to Yunmengju must not be handled by her at all; and the matter of Yunmengju must not be revealed to her."

Mai was completely stunned.

She didn't expect that her master would still remember what she said casually; what's more, she didn't expect that even though she didn't like Ah Yue very much, she still rescued her from the dire straits.

This master, she has nothing to say.

From this moment on, Mai Mai was completely convinced by Chu Yunmeng.

The habit of keeping a point for everyone, which was formed by rolling in the wind and dust before, was also forgotten. From now on, as long as the master needs it, she is willing to give everything of herself.

Mai Mai didn't dismiss Ah Yue casually, but consulted Chu Yunmeng for his opinion in detail.

Following Chu Yunmeng's suggestion, she didn't let her do anything, but let her go to the market, and at the same time held Ah Yue's body deed in her hand, and could ask Ah Yue to do things for her at any time.

Of course, Ah Yue was not given any financial help, to see how she would live and make choices.After a period of investigation, we will consider how to arrange Ah Yue.

After Xu was deceived once and suffered a lot of torment, Ah Yue's whole body sank.

She found a place to stay in a ruined temple on the outskirts of the city, and after a few days of rest, she went to a medium-sized restaurant to find a job as a helper.

Every day on the fourth watch, I go to the restaurant to order food, and do all the big and small jobs, and I don’t leave until the middle of the month.

The business of the restaurant is improving day by day, the boss is grateful to Ah Yue, and raises all the treatment for him.

Ah Yue's life gradually improved.But except that she changed her residence closer to the restaurant, everything else remained the same.

Still in the Jingchai sarong, the house is bare, and I go out early and return late to manage restaurants with all my heart.

Mai Mai sees everything about Ah Yue.But she didn't bother Chu Yunmeng anymore, but secretly figured out how to arrange Ah Yue better in the future.

It seems good to let her continue to maintain her current state, but everything needs to be discussed with her.
