Chapter 257
After the three uncles settled down, Tong Zhi'er and Ji Li went back to their yard to rest.

"It stands to reason that the capital is at the feet of the emperor, and bandits dare not treat them."

When Tong Zhi'er was changing clothes for Ji Li, he heard Ji Li say so.

"Do you think there is something strange?"

Tong Zhi'er tied the belt for him, said.

Ji Li nodded, "It's not easy for bandits to be so rampant in the outskirts of the capital! You go to sleep tonight, I'll go and see what they are doing?"

"Well, wait, it's cold at night, add a cloak before going out."

.........

Ji Li didn't interrogate for a long time, and he came back around three o'clock.

Tong Zhi'er felt that the quilt was lifted, and then, the body with the scent after bathing leaned over and hugged her.

Tong Zhi'er wanted to open her eyes, but her eyelids were heavy.

"Go to sleep."

She heard Ji Li say.

Tong Zhi'er thought about it, and it would be the same if he asked again tomorrow, so he fell asleep peacefully.

I don't know if she stayed up all night with Yan'er before or what. When she woke up, Ji Li had already gone to court, and she was the only one in the room. Tong Zhi'er got up and got dressed, and asked Xiao Tao He Qiaoer brought over the toiletries, tidied them up, and went to the guest room.

"Uncle, aunt, Yan'er."

Tong Zhier knocks on the door.

Fang Ruyan opened the door, closed it lightly, and pulled Tong Zhi'er to stand under an old locust tree.

"Father and mother haven't closed their eyes for several nights."

"I didn't quarrel with uncle and aunt just now, did I?"

Tong Zhier said worriedly.

Fang Ruyan shook her head.

"Come on, let's go have breakfast."

Tong Zhi'er asked Xiao Tao to tell the old lady and the others that he would not go to have dinner with the big guys if he had guests.

The meals are very simple, a bowl of millet porridge, a plate of pickles, and a plate of spring rolls, not much different from before Tong Zhi'er got married.

After dinner, Tong Zhier took Fang Ruyan to visit her yard.

Although Tong Zhi'er had a simple breakfast, the decoration in the room was not simple.

Fang Ruyan secretly observed everyone's attitude towards her, and was very happy.

It seems that Zhi'er is doing well here.

"Young lady, the second lady is here."

Qiaoer came in to report at this time.

While speaking, the second lady arrived at the door.

"Second mother."

"Hello Madam."

Fang Ruyan saluted.

The second lady nodded, pulled Tong Zhi'er aside, and asked, "What do you think about our restaurant?"

"Erniang, my cousin is here. After she rests for a few days, we will go to Yipinju."

The second lady blinked, "You mean she is your cousin? She cooks well?"

Tong Zhier nodded.

"Also, this is the menu I drew up. We will use it when we open the restaurant. Erniang will first find someone to make it like this."

Tong Zhi'er handed a stack of papers to the second lady.

The second lady flipped through the pages, and looked at her in surprise, "They are all dishes names that I have never heard of, can it work?"

Tong Zhier smiled, "Of course, I promise, these will become our restaurant's signature dishes."

"OK, then you entertain your cousin, and I'll leave."

Tong Zhi'er sent the second wife out of the house, returned to Fang Ruyan, and told Fang Ruyan that she was going to open a restaurant with the second wife.

"Second sister, no problem." Fang Ruyan said with a smile on her face.

The two came out of the yard, and Tong Zhi'er led her to the garden.

Along the way, Tong Zhi'er asked Tong Zhixin and the others how they were doing, and she was relieved to know that everyone was well.

"By the way, Yan'er, what business does uncle come to the capital for?"

"Well, Dad didn't elaborate, it seems that he wants to buy a house and land in the capital for a family in Qingzhou."

"I'm familiar with the capital, I'll ask someone to inquire about it, and then I'll let my uncle go and have a look."

"Zhier, thank you." Fang Ruyan said excitedly.

Worried about Fang Dalin and Yao Shi, Fang Ruyan only walked around for a while before going back to the guest room, Tong Zhi'er took her there, and went back to the yard by herself.

Ji Li has already returned from court, and is changing into court clothes in the room.

Seeing this, Tong Zhi'er immediately went over to help him.

"Is there any clue about what happened last night?"

"En," Ji Li replied, and after Tong Zhi'er had arranged his clothes, he took Tong Zhi'er's hand and walked towards the table.

"These bandits are really unusual, they were appointed by King Anping."

"King Anping? What does he want these bandits to do?"

Ji Li sneered, "It's nothing more than a dark matter. The emperor has ordered people to take over these bandits secretly. If King Anping has any orders, he will know."

Tong Zhier nodded.

.........

After Fang Dalin and Yao's injuries recovered, Fang Ruyan followed Tong Zhi'er and the second wife to Yipinju.

The news that Yipinju was going to be resold, not only did not reduce the number of tourists, but the number of people who came was twice as high as before.

This is what the second wife told Tong Zhi'er later.

Now entering Yipinju, looking at the full house of guests, Tong Zhi'er only felt that the old owner of Yipinju was really not an ordinary person.

How can the owner of Yipinju be an ordinary person if he can manage Yipinju into one of the best restaurants in the capital and make the guests so full?
"I don't know what the three of you want to eat? We don't have a place here for the time being. The three of you might as well go to the bamboo forest in the backyard for a while. Tea, snacks and fruits are all provided by our shop. The three guests don't have to worry about the extra price. "

The waiter came over and said with a smile on his face.

Tong Zhi'er looked at him, shook his head and said, "We're not here for dinner."

"Where is your owner of Yipinju? Let's buy a store!"

The second lady said excitedly.

Her voice was not low, and she immediately attracted the attention of the guests.

"Okay, the three of you, please wait for a while again, the younger one will invite the boss out."

Xiao Er bent over to salute, and quickly walked inside.

"Yo, come to buy Yipinju?"

"I don't know how the cooking skills are? The cook from last time, the dishes he cooked were really... throwing them to the dogs would not eat them!"

"I don't know what will happen this time?"

"Look at the three women, they don't look like cooks, I guess, it's unpalatable!"

"you----"

The second lady got angry when she heard this, Tong Zhi'er immediately pulled her back, and said in a low voice: "Second mother, people have mouths, it's his business to say what they like, let's just speak with the facts."

"Yes, speak with facts!"

The second lady glared fiercely at the man who spoke just now, and said, "Boy, just keep your eyes open and watch."

"Bitch, what did you say?"

The man became angry from embarrassment and slapped the table to get up.

"What the bitch said about you."

The second lady retorted.

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.

This woman's mouth is unexpectedly so poisonous!
"you………"

"Forget it, forget it." Seeing that the man was going to get angry, his partner pulled him back and persuaded him, "The sage has something to say, but a villain and a woman are hard to raise. Why do you have to meet a woman?"

"Humph……"

The man snorted coldly and stopped talking.

"Hehe, it's the three of you who want to sell my rank."

An old man with gray hair came slowly from inside.

He wears dark blue trousers, a black belt around his waist, and black boots. He has a smile on his face and looks at Mercy, but his eyes are shining like a businessman.

Tong Zhi'er stepped forward, "Yes, Boss Du."

"That girl should also know my rules!"

Tong Zhier nodded.

"Okay," Boss Du gestured to the clerk, and immediately, the clerk removed the partition that separated the hall, revealing a small table.

Pots and pans are readily available.

"I don't know who it is?"

Boss Du looked at Tong Zhi'er and the three of them.

"it's me."

Fang Ruyan walked forward with a blushing face, and whispered shyly.

Boss Du was taken aback.

This girl looked very young, he originally thought that among the three, the second lady should be the oldest one in charge.

It's not that Boss Du despises people.

Ordinary chefs are older people with certain qualifications and experience. I have seen people like Fang Ruyan, but they are all apprentices who work for the master and practice knife skills.

Boss Du was furious, "Three, although I don't plan to continue to do Yipinju, I have worked hard in the capital for many years, and I won't allow you to call an apprentice to humiliate me!"

"Boss Du, we don't mean to insult you or Yipinju. She is not an apprentice. I dare say that her culinary skills are as good as the royal chefs in the palace."

Tong Zhi'er participated in the royal banquet once with Ji Guogong and others, and also tasted the dishes made by the imperial dining room. Compared with Fang Ruyan's, it was indeed a little bit worse.

Boss Du snorted coldly, "Okay, since the girl is like this, then please."Let's talk, Boss Du walked into the hall.

Only then did Tong Zhi'er realize that there was actually a round table in the hall. The table was not big, just big enough to hold a person's bowls and chopsticks.Because her attention was attracted by the full house of guests before, and the second lady was said to be unable to calm down later, she didn't notice this.

"Yan'er, don't be nervous, I've seen your cooking skills before. Even if you can't afford this one, there are other shops."

After all, it was the first time cooking in front of people, Fang Ruyan was very nervous.

Tong Zhi'er's reassurance relieved a lot of the tension in her heart.

"Cousin, I'm going up."

"Ah."

Fang Ruyan walked to the stage, and everyone's eyes followed her. They looked at the second lady, then at Tong Zhi'er, and finally fell on Fang Ruyan, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Haha, it's not shameful to ask such an apprentice to cook!"

"She also said that even the imperial cooks in the palace can't match her skills, that's really shameless!"

"Don't make a pile of shit at that time, the girl's family will lose face and face..."

"you……"

"Er Niang, go and sit over there, I'll go and light a fire for Yan'er."

"...Okay, I won't be angry with them. I'll wait to see them roll their eyes when Yan'er is done!"
