Chapter 129
Xiao Yuzhuo looked calm, "Have you asked someone to inquire about the latest dishes of Cyclamen?"
"I've inquired about it, and it's exactly the same as the dishes on the lady's food table!" Shopkeeper Sun frowned.
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "Don't panic, since I'm here, I'm here to settle this matter, and I won't run away."
Shopkeeper Sun arched his hands and supported his old waist, "Sun said something disrespectful earlier, and he was in a hurry all his life. If there is something offended, I hope my wife will forgive me!"
"Sometimes misunderstanding is inevitable, adversity is not terrible, and helping each other is the most important thing," Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, "Have you ever asked someone to copy Cyclamen's recipe?"
Shopkeeper Sun shook his head, "Cyclamen has changed the names of the dishes ordered by the lady. The names are different, but the dishes are all exactly the same as mine in Juxian Building! And his dishes are cheaper than the ones set by the lady at the beginning. But it's a bit high... Those who can't afford the dishes of Juxian Tower have gone to Cyclamen now!"
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded.
"Otherwise..." Shopkeeper Sun pondered for a moment, "Shall we lower the price too?"
Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head slowly, "It is not advisable to lower the price."
"Then just wait for the cyclamen to steal all the business?" Shopkeeper Sun was anxious.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled slightly, "Shopkeeper Sun, don't worry. I went out a few days ago and didn't know about it. I'll go to Cyclamen to see the situation. It's not that I'm greedy for the profit on the vegetable price and don't let go. It’s the decoration of Juxian Building, the style is here, and if you lower the price rashly, you will only lower your status. The place that was originally far better than Cyclamen, because of the price reduction, will become the same level as Cyclamen.”
Shopkeeper Sun cupped his hands, "Since the boss has opened his mouth, it is natural for the boss to make the decision."
For dinner, Xiao Yuzhuo took the maid to Xianke to have dinner.
As soon as they arrived at the door, they happened to meet Guan Sanye and Jing Yannian and his party.
"Oh, what a coincidence, did you meet Lady Jade here again?" Guan Sanye greeted her with a smile.
Xiao Yuzhuo saw the little woman walking down from the carriage behind Jing Yannian with Chong Wu in her arms. She looked at the child in the lady's arms reluctantly, but in the end she only nodded slightly as a greeting.
Guan Sanye stretched out his hand to please.
Xiao Yuzhuo reciprocated the gift, he didn't show politeness to him, he went ahead and entered the cyclamen.
I never thought that the business of cyclamen is booming.
Knowing that Mr. Guan is a great person, they managed to find out who they were, and vacated a large private room for Mr. Guan, but there was no private room for Xiao Yuzhuo.
"If the lady doesn't dislike it, why don't you eat together?" Guan Sanye said politely.
Xiao Yuzhuo saw that Chong Wu was staring around, as if he was very interested in the excitement here, so his heart softened and he readily agreed.
Jing Yannian's gaze stayed on her all the time. Although the two did not speak, they were paying attention to each other.
Entering the private room, Guan Sanye said with a smile: "I heard that Cyclamen has recently added a lot of dishes that I have never seen before. If there is anything new to eat, feel free to serve it."
Xiao Er hastily bowed and smiled in response.
Xiao Yuzhuo paid attention to the menu, and there was nothing to be seen in the name of the dish, and it seemed that there was no similarity with the name of the dish she got.
There is a food table in front of each person.
Jing Yannian was sitting next to Guan Sanye, and she was sitting opposite Jing Yannian.
She started with the little woman holding Chong Wu.
Chong Wu kept trying to stand up, but the little woman seemed to want to tell Chong Wu to lie down.
Xiao Chongwu refused, and kept struggling, unwilling to settle down.
Xiao Yuzhuo felt uncomfortable even looking at it, and said with a side face: "Ask me to hug you?"
The little woman embraced Chongwu and refused.
Zhuxiang took a step forward, reaching out to take Chongwu.
The little lady hugged her arms even tighter.
Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help but glared at her.
The little woman immediately felt wronged and said: "Mr...."
Her own son was held in someone's arms. She wanted to hug her, but was it difficult?
Xiao Yuzhuo was a bit depressed, but she had a way to bring the child over with a smile, and she didn't have the mind to use those methods at the moment.
Jing Yannian frowned and glanced at the little woman, but he didn't yell at the little woman, but said to Xiao Yuzhuo unhurriedly: "Look, is the child more important, or other things more important?"
"This is not a contradiction in the first place, but Mr. Lang insisted on putting them on the opposite side." Xiao Yuzhuo said softly.
Jing Yannian hooked the corner of his mouth, "Why don't you contradict, loyalty and filial piety are also in a dilemma? If you gain something, you must lose something."
Xiao Yuzhuo was even more depressed. Seeing that he deliberately made things difficult for her, she had no choice but to turn her head to the little woman and say, "The child just wants to stand up now so that he can raise his eyes to see the excitement. You always Hold him in your arms, and he will not be happy."
The little woman was startled when she heard the words, seeing that Jing Yannian was staring at her, and the little man in her arms was already bored, curling her lips as if she wanted to cry.
She had no choice but to hold the child upright so that the child could stand on her lap and look around.
Xiao Chongwu has been staring at Xiao Yuzhuo, maybe blood is thicker than water, and there is intimacy in his bones.
Or maybe Xiao Yuzhuo is the prettiest one here.
He looked at his mother and was still babbling.
Xiao Yuzhuo's heart felt soft and sore.
The meals came to the table quickly, because each person had a food table, and the portions of the dishes on it were not large, but there were many types.
Xiao Yuzhuo withdrew his thoughts, after Guan Sanye moved the chopsticks, everyone also picked up the chopsticks.
"This dish is exquisite and tastes good, I've never seen it before!" Guan Sanye said with a smile.
Xiao Yuzhuo tasted it with a smile on his face, "Third Master, you have never been to Juxian Tower, have you?"
Guan Sanye looked up at her, "Juxian Building?"
The entourage beside him hurriedly whispered something in his ear.
Guan Sanye laughed, "Oh, the decoration of Juxian Tower is exquisite, but its reputation is not as good as this cyclist's? The lady mentioned it, but what's so special about it?"
"The reputation is not as good as Xiankelai. That was in the past. The third master probably hasn't been to Wancheng for a long time. Today's Juxian Building is different from the past. These dishes are also available in Juxian Building, and they are far better than Xiankelai. Woolen cloth!"
When Guan Sanye heard the words, he nodded with a smile and didn't say much.
Jing Yannian looked at Xiao Yuzhuo deeply, with a lot of meaning.
Xiao Yuzhuo finished his dinner and reluctantly watched the little woman get into the carriage with Chong Wu in her arms. After the carriage left, she let out a long sigh and climbed into her own carriage.
The servant girls could see her helplessness, but they didn't know how to comfort her.
Fortunately, her emotions were quickly calmed down by myself, or she hid it away, with a calm smile on her face, as if nothing could disturb her mind.
It was getting late, but she still went to Juxian Building first.
Shopkeeper Sun is waiting for her in the building.
"Take out the new dishes and menus that Juxian Building has launched." She said to Shopkeeper Sun.
Shopkeeper Sun followed his word.
Xiao Yuzhuo looked at the dishes one by one, and snorted softly, "The dishes that Cyclamen is offering now are all made in Juxian Building, but there are no dishes in my recipe that Juxian Building has never made."
Shopkeeper Sun snorted and nodded repeatedly, "My lady's recipes have been kept by Mr. Sun, and the dishes made in the kitchen are all copied by Mr. Sun on a piece of paper for them to see."
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "In this way, I can rest assured of Shopkeeper Sun, and Shopkeeper Sun can rest assured of me."
Shopkeeper Sun said with embarrassment, "You are the owner, so there is no reason for me to be worried about you. Sun is really stupid!"
"Then watch the people in the kitchen carefully." Xiao Yuzhuo said, "I will come again before noon tomorrow, and I will go to the kitchen to have a look."
Shopkeeper Sun looked serious, "Could it be the chef..."
Xiao Yuzhuo chuckled, "Shopkeeper Sun, you don't have to be too nervous. I have tasted the dishes of Cyclamen, and they taste quite different from those of Juxianlou. The dishes all look the same, they are all those spices. Those side dishes, oil temperature, heat, and even the order in which the spices are added... are slightly different, and the taste of the dish will be different."
Shopkeeper Sun nodded repeatedly. Although he doesn't know how to cook, he has been running restaurants for many years, so he still knows a thing or two about these principles.
"Otherwise, wouldn't everyone be a chef?" Xiao Yuzhuo said softly.
Shopkeeper Sun looked solemn, but Xiao Yuzhuo was calm and relaxed.
Seeing that the owner was so confident, shopkeeper Sun's heart finally fell to the ground.
Xiao Yuzhuo left Juxian Tower, just after he left the back door, before reaching the entrance of the alley, someone stopped the carriage.
Liu Lanxue lifted the curtain and looked outside, but was taken aback, "Look, lady, it's that gentleman."
Xiao Yuzhuo looked out along her hand, but saw Jing Yannian standing beside the carriage.
The light of the lantern under the eaves and the tranquil moonlight fell on his face, making his whole body hazy as if with a halo.
Xiao Yuzhuo got up and got out of the car, "Why are you here?"
Jing Yanyou snorted, "You are so good at eating, I wonder why you would go to Cyclamen to eat? And why would you recommend Juxian Tower during the banquet?"
Xiao Yuzhuo pursed his lips.
"So you are the owner of Juxian Tower?" Jing Yannian snorted, "Are you so interested in profit?"
Xiao Yuzhuo glanced at him and raised his eyes to look at the bright moon.
"It doesn't matter if you say I'm interested in profits, or you say I'm restless in the room. I just know what I want." Xiao Yuzhuo said slowly.
The cold moonlight made her voice cool to the ear, as if it carried the coolness of the silent night.
"I can't see through you more and more, and can't see what you want?" Jing Yannian said with a frown.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, "If you are willing to stand side by side with me instead of asking me to follow you step by step, you will understand what I want."
Jing Yanyou snorted, "Side by side? Standing side by side, how can I stand in front of you and protect you?"
Xiao Yuzhuo rolled his eyes, "I'm not a child who needs you to protect me all the time, can't you see that I'm trying to become a person who can protect myself and the one I love?"
"Since that's the case, what's the point of being a man, little girl?" Jing Yannian retorted.
Xiao Yuzhuo chuckled and didn't bother to talk to him anymore.
"Xiankelai stole the dishes from Juxian Building?" Jing Yannian asked suddenly, "Xiankelai dared to do this, but it was because you were bullying. How about this, let me help you find out who betrayed Juxian Lou's dishes, help you to deal with cyclamen, you honestly put down these outside business, don't show your face again..."
"Thank you for your kindness!" Xiao Yuzhuo interrupted him immediately, and said with a smile, "General, when you give alms, can you lower your head to see if others need your kindness? You thought it was kindness, but you never thought about others Do you feel it?"
Jing Yannian frowned, "Do you think this is charity?"
"You are condescending and arrogantly telling me how to help me, what is it if it is not alms?" Xiao Yuzhuo snorted softly, "However, I don't need your alms. If you really give me alms, why don't you return Chongwu to me."
"Now I'll give him back to you. If someone comes to snatch him, you might protect him?" Jing Yannian asked coldly.
Xiao Yuzhuo bit her lower lip, turned around and climbed into the carriage, and left without saying a word.
A few steps away from Jing Yannian's carriage, she suddenly leaned out the window, "One day, I can! Not only will I take him with me, but I will also let others know who he is! Let him live a dignified life in the big world." Xia! You don’t have to hide all day long!”
The carriage went away, only the sound of rolling wheels under the moonlight, gradually drifting away.
Jing Yannian stood for a long time, clenched his fists.
Xiao Yuzhuo still did not return to Yue Palace.
She returned to Wancheng with Guan Sanye's men, and Guan Sanye even asked someone to give a gift to the King of Yue.
King Yue accepted the gift, and turned a blind eye to Guan San's matter. He never expected that Xiao Yuzhuo would sneak into Wancheng like this.
You don't have to live in the Yuewang Mansion, although her house has only two entrances, it can't be compared with the Yuewang Mansion with gardens, rockery, pavilions and pavilions.
But Xiao Yuzhuo still felt that he was much more comfortable here.
The next day she set off directly from the small courtyard to Juxian Building.
This unfettered day is really very comfortable.
Once upon a time, all she wanted was that simple, a little money, a small yard, and a simple and comfortable life.
But not now, she must force herself to move forward, so that she can be stronger, so that her wings can be full, so that she can protect those close to her.
It was still early when she came to Juxian Building, and there were no diners in the building yet.
However, the kitchen is already busy, and the chefs and assistant cooks are washing and preparing vegetables.
Xiao Yuzhuo changed into a coarse cloth bunt in the backyard wing room, and his hair was neatly tied up in a simple bun like a man's.
When she got to the kitchen, the kitchen boys failed to recognize her.
I thought it was the handsome chef newly recruited by the shopkeeper.
Only the chef recognized her at a glance.
She smiled and shook her head at the chef.
The chef invited her aside quite nervously, "Boss, why are you dressed up like this? It's cold outside, but it's hot in the kitchen. After a while, the cooking fume is choking again."
Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head, "It's okay, I've heard about the cyclamen coming. You just cook your dishes later, and I'll see if there are any cooks in this group who can eat two meals."
The chef hurriedly bowed his hands to her secretly, "My boss told the villain, I really trust the villain! The villain is grateful to the boss!"
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded at him, "How could I doubt you? If you leaked the recipe to Cyclamen, why would the food not be so far behind? Your craftsmanship is far superior to Cyclamen! Stealing them is as good as stealing them." Not like!"
This is not only trust, but also praise and praise.
The chef clasped his hands and nodded, he was so excited that he didn't know whether to be humble or thank the boss for his appreciation.
Xiao Yuzhuo winked at him, "Okay, let people see it again! I'm just a helper now!"
"Well," the chef nodded repeatedly, "Today, a villain is going to cook sweet and sour fish. He has never done it before, so he will definitely pay attention to it!"
Xiao Yuzhuo gave him a thumbs up.
Xiao Yuzhuo didn't kill fish, she was good at knives and was assigned to chop vegetables.
Not long after the signboard for this new dish of sweet and sour fish was posted, someone ordered the name of this dish.
The chef took a look at Xiao Yuzhuo, and called her to help the cook.
Xiao Yuzhuo put down the work in hand and kept paying attention to everyone in the kitchen when helping.
Everyone is busy with their own work, and it seems that no one pays attention to how the chef here makes sweet and sour fish.
There are many pots and stoves in the kitchen, and some helpers who can do their own work also start cooking.
Xiao Yuzhuo's eyes flicked past the crowd from time to time.
Suddenly a young man caught her attention.
When she was squinting and observing calmly, Zhu Xiang suddenly broke in and sought her out.
Xiao Yuzhuo had no choice but to leave the kitchen, "What's the matter?"
"Shopkeeper Sun said that a distinguished guest has come, and he is in the private room on the second floor. He can't greet you, and the distinguished guest invites you to come over." Zhuxiang said hastily.
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback for a moment, "Your guest? Who is it?"
Zhuxiang leaned against her ear, muttering in a low voice.
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned slightly, and went directly to the second floor without changing his clothes.
Sure enough, there was someone sitting in the private room, waiting for her.
Shopkeeper Sun stood by the table with a worried expression.
Xiao Yuzhuo was about to salute, but when he saw that he was dressed in men's clothes, he simply stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Hey, it's the third master and Vice-Clan Master Jing who are here? Why didn't you notify me in advance, the greeting is not good, it's rude and rude!"
Guan Sanye stared at her, was stunned for a moment, then stroked his chin and laughed, "Ms. Yu is really a handsome little gentleman dressed like this!"
Jing Yannian had a gloomy face, staring at her deeply.
Xiao Yuzhuo glanced at him, but ignored him, "I'll take a look in the kitchen, it's rare that the third master is willing to appreciate it, so I should personally cook some special dishes for the third master."
"Hey, Miss Yu still has this skill? Then I have to try it!" Guan Sanye said with a smile.
Xiao Yuzhuo said a few words of politeness, told shopkeeper Sun to serve good tea, and then went to the kitchen to make dishes by himself.
Why did Jing Yannian come to Juxian Building with Guan Sanye?
Xiao Yuzhuo was not sure for a moment.
Anyway, it must be more than just eating.
No matter what his purpose is, anyway, for this kind of person, it is better to make friends than to make enemies, and there is no need to worry about what he does if he is not rude.
Xiao Yuzhuo rolled up her sleeves and cooked the dishes by herself, and the boys in the kitchen knew that she was the jade lady who borrowed the kitchen that day and is now half of the owner.
She also cooked sweet and sour fish, and several other dishes that were already on the menu.
The chef was on the sidelines and followed suit as a helper.
The chef thinks that he has cooked these few dishes very well, but cooking may be a matter of talent.Obviously Xiao Yuzhuo, a foodie, has a talent for cooking.
It is clearly the same ingredients, the same dishes, even the same pot and stove, and the same fireman.
However, the dishes made by Xiao Yuzhuo are even more mouth-watering.
The color and fragrance are impeccable.
Xiao Yuzhuo asked the servant girl to bring up some dishes she made by herself.
She went to the wing room to change again, and then went to the private room on the second floor.
Guan Sanye and Jing Yannian have already moved their chopsticks.
Seeing her, Guan Sanye was going to put down his chopsticks to say hello, but he just served that dish, it was too tempting.
He couldn't bear it anymore, and took another chopstick before stopping.
"No wonder the lady said that Juxian Restaurant has better dishes than Xiankelai, it really is!" Guan Sanye gave a thumbs up, "However, for the same dishes, Juxian Restaurant is much more expensive than Xiankelai?"
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled slightly, "It looks like the same dishes, but Juxian Building uses real ingredients, and every dish is guaranteed to be the freshest, with a little yellow leaves, all of which are washed clean. Things that look the same, but It is definitely a different quality. Only such carefully selected and carefully prepared dishes are suitable for diners with status and taste like Guan Sanye."
Guan Sanye raised his finger at her, and smiled at Jing Yannian, "Look, how is it? I just said that Miss Yu is not an ordinary little lady, right? My Changqing Gang needs to be like her, like Xiuyuan, who is not like you. Ordinary people!"
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback when he heard the words, why, Guan San is also planning to recruit himself?
Tell her to become a member of the Evergreen Gang?
"When we were in the posthouse last time, Miss Yu said to cooperate. Let me ask Miss Yu, is she interested in joining my Evergreen Gang?" Guan Sanye asked with a smile.
Xiao Yuzhuo glanced at Jing Yannian.
He kept pursing his lips, his handsome face was full of displeasure.
It can be seen that this was Guan San's idea, and he did not make any suggestions.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled slightly, "Then what position does the third master plan to give me? If I'm under Jing Lang, I won't do it!"
she said half-jokingly.
Jing Yannian was immediately annoyed. What do you mean she won't do anything when she is under him?
Still have to sit on an equal footing?
Guan Sanye laughed loudly, "Yu Niangzi is really a strong character! But my Evergreen Gang has never had a female deputy leader, this... Yu Niangzi put me in a difficult position."
Is this disagreement?
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, and didn't force it, "A female assistant gang leader suddenly appeared, and it's hard to convince the crowd."
Guan Sanye nodded again and again, "Yes, my lady is thorough."
"But I'm afraid I'm not suitable for other positions." Xiao Yuzhuo said with a smile, "It's better for the third master to talk to me about the specific cooperation. As for the matter of joining the Evergreen Gang, we can wait until we are familiar with each other before discussing it in the long run."
Guan Sanye frowned and hesitated for a while, "Alright! I have something here that I want to deliver to my wife. Wancheng is the boundary of His Highness King Yue, and there are garrison generals sent by the emperor here. The power is complicated. If my wife After finishing this matter, Guan must thank the lady again."
"Please tell me." Xiao Yuzhuo said.
"Madam, please help me reopen the Zuixiang building." Guan Sanye said with a smile.
Xiao Yuzhuo was slightly taken aback.
Jing Yannian clapped the case and said, "No way!"
Both Guan San and Xiao Yuzhuo looked at him in astonishment.
"Business is nothing more than opening a restaurant. If you even open a brothel, what's the point?" Jing Yannian gritted his teeth.
Guan San smiled slightly, "Xiu Yuan, don't you have such a big prejudice? The earliest brothel was opened by Prime Minister Guan Zhong! How is it? Isn't Guan Zhong still the prime minister?"
Jing Yannian's face was ugly.
Seeing that Xiao Yuzhuo did not agree.
Guan San continued to speak: "What's the advantage of opening a brothel? Private brothels are mixed with good and bad people, and there are everyone. The news here is the best. If you want to inquire about anything, you can inquire here. Secondly, brothels are the best way to make money. It’s not a rumor that a fast place spends a lot of money for a confidante. Again, if you don’t open a brothel, someone will open it, because there is demand. The brothel you open can guarantee that you will not force women into prostitution. Forcing the nobles to sell their bodies, you are not in charge of other people's brothels!"
Seeing Xiao Yuzhuo drooping his eyes, he seemed to be thinking.
Guan San went on to say: "Miss Jade is upright, if this matter is in the hands of Madam Yu, she must be different from others, and it can be considered that Madam Yu has done a great deed for those little ladies who have no way out and have no other choice but to sell themselves Already!"
"Okay!" Xiao Yuzhuo looked up with a smile suddenly, "You speak to my heart! I agree with you!"
"You..." Jing Yannian's face was extremely ugly because of her anger, "Don't you want others to respect you? What kind of place is a brothel? How can you talk about respect if you are contaminated by this kind of place?"
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, "Women in a brothel are not human anymore? Even the third master said that if I were asked to open a brothel, it would be different from other places. Jing Lang can also see if I will be desperate if I want to open a brothel." woman, and then pushed into the pit of fire? Am I only greedy for money and profit, and have no principles!"
Guan Sanye looked at Xiao Yuzhuo and suddenly clapped his hands and laughed, "Yu Niangzi asked Guan to think of a word, a hero among women. Xiuyuan, just wait and see, if she can't do what she said, then you come again If you question her, will she have nothing to say?"
Jing Yannian pursed his lips, feeling displeased, but he finally did not taunt Xiao Yuzhuo in front of Third Master Guan.
Guan Sanye naturally knew that the two had a close relationship.
He ate and drank enough, so he took a step ahead with his entourage.
Leave the private room for Jing Yannian and Xiao Yuzhuo.
Jing Yannian snorted, "Did you make up the basket in your own restaurant? Are you still taking on other people's work?"
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled slightly, "Don't bother you, I will make up my own basket."
"Say something nice to me, won't I help you?" Jing Yannian said, pointing his fingers at her.
Xiao Yuzhuo snorted softly, "Help me? Then tell me, I can't do anything without you? Just go home and stay?"
Jing Yannian didn't say anything, but it was clear in his eyes that this was the meaning.
Xiao Yuzhuo snorted softly, "Zhuxiang, please call shopkeeper Sun, and then call the boy in the kitchen who is in the gray clothes who burns the fire."
Jing Yannian raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Why, just grab someone and say you've made up for it? I'm easy to fool and deceive myself, but I'll fool you."
"Thank you for the reminder, Vice-Clan Leader!" Xiao Yuzhuo said with a smile.
Seeing her relaxed face, Jing Yannian couldn't help feeling depressed.
Shopkeeper Sun and the boy came over.
Seeing that young man, shopkeeper Sun was slightly taken aback, "Yang Daner, it's you?"
The boy named Yang Dan'er, with a wrinkled face, glanced at shopkeeper Sun, then at Zhuxiang, bowed his head and said nothing.
He didn't know if he was guilty, but he didn't dare to look at Xiao Yuzhuo.
Jing Yannian's fierce aura was too strong, and he didn't dare to glance at it.
"Is this the person you suspect?" Jing Yannian glanced at Xiao Yuzhuo and asked with a smile.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled slightly, "It's not doubting, I'm sure it's him."
"Yang Dan'er! I treat you well!" Shopkeeper Sun said sharply.
Yang Dan'er was pushed to kneel on the ground by Zhuxiang's dexterity.
He lowered his eyes, but stiffened his neck and didn't speak.
"Your attitude is to admit that you have betrayed the recipe of Juxian Building, but you are unwilling to accept it?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked slowly.
Yang Dan'er still didn't speak.
Zhuxiang wanted to kick him, but Xiao Yuzhuo raised his hand to stop him.
Shopkeeper Sun looked ashamed, cupped his hands and said to Xiao Yuzhuo: "I am ashamed, he is my cousin. His family lives in the village. Because his family is poor, his parents sent him here. I want to be a boy. It's better to learn a craft, so I arranged him in the kitchen, thinking to let him help the cook, and after learning it, he will also be a master chef and be able to take care of himself. Even if he leaves me and Juxian Tower, he will be able to do so with this skill. I can't die of hunger."
Shopkeeper Sun let out a long sigh as he spoke, as if out of breath, he stepped forward and grabbed Yang Dan'er to beat him.
Xiao Yuzhuo persuaded with a smile.
"But is there any urgent need for money in your family?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked.
Yang Dan'er shook her head.
"It's really disappointing, not motivated at all! Your parents entrusted you to me, expecting you to learn well! You are embarrassing to me! As soon as possible, spit out all the benefits that Cyclamen has given you, and clean up your Bedroll, get the hell out of here!" Shopkeeper Sun scolded.
Xiao Yuzhuo asked that Yang Daner in Daliang, "How old are you this year, are you fifteen?"
"Back to my wife... the villain is thirteen." Yang Dan'er said.
Perhaps Xiao Yuzhuo never asked anyone to beat or scold him, and he spoke softly, which made him soften his attitude.
Xiao Yuzhuo sighed softly, only thirteen?You're only in the second year of junior high now, right?
I remember when she was in the second year of junior high school, her parents didn't even want her to wash a bowl, and they didn't hand her an apple until she had peeled it.
"At such a young age, I have to leave my parents and come to Wancheng to be an apprentice in such a big restaurant, isn't it very hard?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked.
Probably no one has ever asked him, it is very hard.
Yang Dan'er was taken aback for a moment, then looked up at Xiao Yuzhuo in surprise.
Seeing the lady in front of him was much more beautiful than when he was looking at it in the kitchen, his immature face couldn't help but blush, "It's not hard...the villain sold the recipes to Cyclamen, not because he was greedy for money!"
"It's not because you're greedy for money, why?! I think you really want to piss me off! You don't have to quibble! An apprentice like you dares to take you without that shop. Go back as soon as possible, and don't lose your parents in Wancheng again." face!" Shopkeeper Sun said angrily.
He probably felt that this cousin made him severely humiliated in front of his boss.
Xiao Yuzhuo waved his hand, "Shopkeeper Sun, don't be angry, tell him to finish what he has to say, how can such an older child not make mistakes? If there is, then change it."
Yang Dan'er suddenly stopped sticking her neck, and kowtowed to Xiao Yuzhuo solemnly, "Back to my wife, the villain is just so angry... The villain can clearly learn to cook, but they all say that the villain relies on Those who came in through the relationship with the shopkeeper came in through the back door. The villains were not asked to learn how to cook, and they were not even asked to cut and wash vegetables. "
Lighting a fire is the most insignificant thing in the kitchen, the most humble thing.
In a big family's house, only the lowest maid who doesn't care and has no connections can burn fire, so "burning fire girl" means that this person is lowly.
"You really sold the recipes of Cyclamen to them?" Xiao Yuzhuo said suddenly.
Yang Dan'er kowtowed, "It's a villain...The villain is convicted, my lady should report to the officials to arrest the villain, and the villain will definitely confess to the cyclists, so they won't be allowed to seize the business of Juxian Tower again."
Xiao Yuzhuo didn't take his words, but asked, "You just took a sneak peek, and you know what to do with those dishes?"
Yang Dan'er nodded and nodded, "I'm watching carefully. I also pay attention to what the chef uses and when to add it. But sometimes they always interrupt, and sometimes they even ask me to light two or three fires. I don't remember. So accurate."
(End of this chapter)
Xiao Yuzhuo looked calm, "Have you asked someone to inquire about the latest dishes of Cyclamen?"
"I've inquired about it, and it's exactly the same as the dishes on the lady's food table!" Shopkeeper Sun frowned.
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "Don't panic, since I'm here, I'm here to settle this matter, and I won't run away."
Shopkeeper Sun arched his hands and supported his old waist, "Sun said something disrespectful earlier, and he was in a hurry all his life. If there is something offended, I hope my wife will forgive me!"
"Sometimes misunderstanding is inevitable, adversity is not terrible, and helping each other is the most important thing," Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, "Have you ever asked someone to copy Cyclamen's recipe?"
Shopkeeper Sun shook his head, "Cyclamen has changed the names of the dishes ordered by the lady. The names are different, but the dishes are all exactly the same as mine in Juxian Building! And his dishes are cheaper than the ones set by the lady at the beginning. But it's a bit high... Those who can't afford the dishes of Juxian Tower have gone to Cyclamen now!"
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded.
"Otherwise..." Shopkeeper Sun pondered for a moment, "Shall we lower the price too?"
Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head slowly, "It is not advisable to lower the price."
"Then just wait for the cyclamen to steal all the business?" Shopkeeper Sun was anxious.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled slightly, "Shopkeeper Sun, don't worry. I went out a few days ago and didn't know about it. I'll go to Cyclamen to see the situation. It's not that I'm greedy for the profit on the vegetable price and don't let go. It’s the decoration of Juxian Building, the style is here, and if you lower the price rashly, you will only lower your status. The place that was originally far better than Cyclamen, because of the price reduction, will become the same level as Cyclamen.”
Shopkeeper Sun cupped his hands, "Since the boss has opened his mouth, it is natural for the boss to make the decision."
For dinner, Xiao Yuzhuo took the maid to Xianke to have dinner.
As soon as they arrived at the door, they happened to meet Guan Sanye and Jing Yannian and his party.
"Oh, what a coincidence, did you meet Lady Jade here again?" Guan Sanye greeted her with a smile.
Xiao Yuzhuo saw the little woman walking down from the carriage behind Jing Yannian with Chong Wu in her arms. She looked at the child in the lady's arms reluctantly, but in the end she only nodded slightly as a greeting.
Guan Sanye stretched out his hand to please.
Xiao Yuzhuo reciprocated the gift, he didn't show politeness to him, he went ahead and entered the cyclamen.
I never thought that the business of cyclamen is booming.
Knowing that Mr. Guan is a great person, they managed to find out who they were, and vacated a large private room for Mr. Guan, but there was no private room for Xiao Yuzhuo.
"If the lady doesn't dislike it, why don't you eat together?" Guan Sanye said politely.
Xiao Yuzhuo saw that Chong Wu was staring around, as if he was very interested in the excitement here, so his heart softened and he readily agreed.
Jing Yannian's gaze stayed on her all the time. Although the two did not speak, they were paying attention to each other.
Entering the private room, Guan Sanye said with a smile: "I heard that Cyclamen has recently added a lot of dishes that I have never seen before. If there is anything new to eat, feel free to serve it."
Xiao Er hastily bowed and smiled in response.
Xiao Yuzhuo paid attention to the menu, and there was nothing to be seen in the name of the dish, and it seemed that there was no similarity with the name of the dish she got.
There is a food table in front of each person.
Jing Yannian was sitting next to Guan Sanye, and she was sitting opposite Jing Yannian.
She started with the little woman holding Chong Wu.
Chong Wu kept trying to stand up, but the little woman seemed to want to tell Chong Wu to lie down.
Xiao Chongwu refused, and kept struggling, unwilling to settle down.
Xiao Yuzhuo felt uncomfortable even looking at it, and said with a side face: "Ask me to hug you?"
The little woman embraced Chongwu and refused.
Zhuxiang took a step forward, reaching out to take Chongwu.
The little lady hugged her arms even tighter.
Xiao Yuzhuo couldn't help but glared at her.
The little woman immediately felt wronged and said: "Mr...."
Her own son was held in someone's arms. She wanted to hug her, but was it difficult?
Xiao Yuzhuo was a bit depressed, but she had a way to bring the child over with a smile, and she didn't have the mind to use those methods at the moment.
Jing Yannian frowned and glanced at the little woman, but he didn't yell at the little woman, but said to Xiao Yuzhuo unhurriedly: "Look, is the child more important, or other things more important?"
"This is not a contradiction in the first place, but Mr. Lang insisted on putting them on the opposite side." Xiao Yuzhuo said softly.
Jing Yannian hooked the corner of his mouth, "Why don't you contradict, loyalty and filial piety are also in a dilemma? If you gain something, you must lose something."
Xiao Yuzhuo was even more depressed. Seeing that he deliberately made things difficult for her, she had no choice but to turn her head to the little woman and say, "The child just wants to stand up now so that he can raise his eyes to see the excitement. You always Hold him in your arms, and he will not be happy."
The little woman was startled when she heard the words, seeing that Jing Yannian was staring at her, and the little man in her arms was already bored, curling her lips as if she wanted to cry.
She had no choice but to hold the child upright so that the child could stand on her lap and look around.
Xiao Chongwu has been staring at Xiao Yuzhuo, maybe blood is thicker than water, and there is intimacy in his bones.
Or maybe Xiao Yuzhuo is the prettiest one here.
He looked at his mother and was still babbling.
Xiao Yuzhuo's heart felt soft and sore.
The meals came to the table quickly, because each person had a food table, and the portions of the dishes on it were not large, but there were many types.
Xiao Yuzhuo withdrew his thoughts, after Guan Sanye moved the chopsticks, everyone also picked up the chopsticks.
"This dish is exquisite and tastes good, I've never seen it before!" Guan Sanye said with a smile.
Xiao Yuzhuo tasted it with a smile on his face, "Third Master, you have never been to Juxian Tower, have you?"
Guan Sanye looked up at her, "Juxian Building?"
The entourage beside him hurriedly whispered something in his ear.
Guan Sanye laughed, "Oh, the decoration of Juxian Tower is exquisite, but its reputation is not as good as this cyclist's? The lady mentioned it, but what's so special about it?"
"The reputation is not as good as Xiankelai. That was in the past. The third master probably hasn't been to Wancheng for a long time. Today's Juxian Building is different from the past. These dishes are also available in Juxian Building, and they are far better than Xiankelai. Woolen cloth!"
When Guan Sanye heard the words, he nodded with a smile and didn't say much.
Jing Yannian looked at Xiao Yuzhuo deeply, with a lot of meaning.
Xiao Yuzhuo finished his dinner and reluctantly watched the little woman get into the carriage with Chong Wu in her arms. After the carriage left, she let out a long sigh and climbed into her own carriage.
The servant girls could see her helplessness, but they didn't know how to comfort her.
Fortunately, her emotions were quickly calmed down by myself, or she hid it away, with a calm smile on her face, as if nothing could disturb her mind.
It was getting late, but she still went to Juxian Building first.
Shopkeeper Sun is waiting for her in the building.
"Take out the new dishes and menus that Juxian Building has launched." She said to Shopkeeper Sun.
Shopkeeper Sun followed his word.
Xiao Yuzhuo looked at the dishes one by one, and snorted softly, "The dishes that Cyclamen is offering now are all made in Juxian Building, but there are no dishes in my recipe that Juxian Building has never made."
Shopkeeper Sun snorted and nodded repeatedly, "My lady's recipes have been kept by Mr. Sun, and the dishes made in the kitchen are all copied by Mr. Sun on a piece of paper for them to see."
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "In this way, I can rest assured of Shopkeeper Sun, and Shopkeeper Sun can rest assured of me."
Shopkeeper Sun said with embarrassment, "You are the owner, so there is no reason for me to be worried about you. Sun is really stupid!"
"Then watch the people in the kitchen carefully." Xiao Yuzhuo said, "I will come again before noon tomorrow, and I will go to the kitchen to have a look."
Shopkeeper Sun looked serious, "Could it be the chef..."
Xiao Yuzhuo chuckled, "Shopkeeper Sun, you don't have to be too nervous. I have tasted the dishes of Cyclamen, and they taste quite different from those of Juxianlou. The dishes all look the same, they are all those spices. Those side dishes, oil temperature, heat, and even the order in which the spices are added... are slightly different, and the taste of the dish will be different."
Shopkeeper Sun nodded repeatedly. Although he doesn't know how to cook, he has been running restaurants for many years, so he still knows a thing or two about these principles.
"Otherwise, wouldn't everyone be a chef?" Xiao Yuzhuo said softly.
Shopkeeper Sun looked solemn, but Xiao Yuzhuo was calm and relaxed.
Seeing that the owner was so confident, shopkeeper Sun's heart finally fell to the ground.
Xiao Yuzhuo left Juxian Tower, just after he left the back door, before reaching the entrance of the alley, someone stopped the carriage.
Liu Lanxue lifted the curtain and looked outside, but was taken aback, "Look, lady, it's that gentleman."
Xiao Yuzhuo looked out along her hand, but saw Jing Yannian standing beside the carriage.
The light of the lantern under the eaves and the tranquil moonlight fell on his face, making his whole body hazy as if with a halo.
Xiao Yuzhuo got up and got out of the car, "Why are you here?"
Jing Yanyou snorted, "You are so good at eating, I wonder why you would go to Cyclamen to eat? And why would you recommend Juxian Tower during the banquet?"
Xiao Yuzhuo pursed his lips.
"So you are the owner of Juxian Tower?" Jing Yannian snorted, "Are you so interested in profit?"
Xiao Yuzhuo glanced at him and raised his eyes to look at the bright moon.
"It doesn't matter if you say I'm interested in profits, or you say I'm restless in the room. I just know what I want." Xiao Yuzhuo said slowly.
The cold moonlight made her voice cool to the ear, as if it carried the coolness of the silent night.
"I can't see through you more and more, and can't see what you want?" Jing Yannian said with a frown.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, "If you are willing to stand side by side with me instead of asking me to follow you step by step, you will understand what I want."
Jing Yanyou snorted, "Side by side? Standing side by side, how can I stand in front of you and protect you?"
Xiao Yuzhuo rolled his eyes, "I'm not a child who needs you to protect me all the time, can't you see that I'm trying to become a person who can protect myself and the one I love?"
"Since that's the case, what's the point of being a man, little girl?" Jing Yannian retorted.
Xiao Yuzhuo chuckled and didn't bother to talk to him anymore.
"Xiankelai stole the dishes from Juxian Building?" Jing Yannian asked suddenly, "Xiankelai dared to do this, but it was because you were bullying. How about this, let me help you find out who betrayed Juxian Lou's dishes, help you to deal with cyclamen, you honestly put down these outside business, don't show your face again..."
"Thank you for your kindness!" Xiao Yuzhuo interrupted him immediately, and said with a smile, "General, when you give alms, can you lower your head to see if others need your kindness? You thought it was kindness, but you never thought about others Do you feel it?"
Jing Yannian frowned, "Do you think this is charity?"
"You are condescending and arrogantly telling me how to help me, what is it if it is not alms?" Xiao Yuzhuo snorted softly, "However, I don't need your alms. If you really give me alms, why don't you return Chongwu to me."
"Now I'll give him back to you. If someone comes to snatch him, you might protect him?" Jing Yannian asked coldly.
Xiao Yuzhuo bit her lower lip, turned around and climbed into the carriage, and left without saying a word.
A few steps away from Jing Yannian's carriage, she suddenly leaned out the window, "One day, I can! Not only will I take him with me, but I will also let others know who he is! Let him live a dignified life in the big world." Xia! You don’t have to hide all day long!”
The carriage went away, only the sound of rolling wheels under the moonlight, gradually drifting away.
Jing Yannian stood for a long time, clenched his fists.
Xiao Yuzhuo still did not return to Yue Palace.
She returned to Wancheng with Guan Sanye's men, and Guan Sanye even asked someone to give a gift to the King of Yue.
King Yue accepted the gift, and turned a blind eye to Guan San's matter. He never expected that Xiao Yuzhuo would sneak into Wancheng like this.
You don't have to live in the Yuewang Mansion, although her house has only two entrances, it can't be compared with the Yuewang Mansion with gardens, rockery, pavilions and pavilions.
But Xiao Yuzhuo still felt that he was much more comfortable here.
The next day she set off directly from the small courtyard to Juxian Building.
This unfettered day is really very comfortable.
Once upon a time, all she wanted was that simple, a little money, a small yard, and a simple and comfortable life.
But not now, she must force herself to move forward, so that she can be stronger, so that her wings can be full, so that she can protect those close to her.
It was still early when she came to Juxian Building, and there were no diners in the building yet.
However, the kitchen is already busy, and the chefs and assistant cooks are washing and preparing vegetables.
Xiao Yuzhuo changed into a coarse cloth bunt in the backyard wing room, and his hair was neatly tied up in a simple bun like a man's.
When she got to the kitchen, the kitchen boys failed to recognize her.
I thought it was the handsome chef newly recruited by the shopkeeper.
Only the chef recognized her at a glance.
She smiled and shook her head at the chef.
The chef invited her aside quite nervously, "Boss, why are you dressed up like this? It's cold outside, but it's hot in the kitchen. After a while, the cooking fume is choking again."
Xiao Yuzhuo shook his head, "It's okay, I've heard about the cyclamen coming. You just cook your dishes later, and I'll see if there are any cooks in this group who can eat two meals."
The chef hurriedly bowed his hands to her secretly, "My boss told the villain, I really trust the villain! The villain is grateful to the boss!"
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded at him, "How could I doubt you? If you leaked the recipe to Cyclamen, why would the food not be so far behind? Your craftsmanship is far superior to Cyclamen! Stealing them is as good as stealing them." Not like!"
This is not only trust, but also praise and praise.
The chef clasped his hands and nodded, he was so excited that he didn't know whether to be humble or thank the boss for his appreciation.
Xiao Yuzhuo winked at him, "Okay, let people see it again! I'm just a helper now!"
"Well," the chef nodded repeatedly, "Today, a villain is going to cook sweet and sour fish. He has never done it before, so he will definitely pay attention to it!"
Xiao Yuzhuo gave him a thumbs up.
Xiao Yuzhuo didn't kill fish, she was good at knives and was assigned to chop vegetables.
Not long after the signboard for this new dish of sweet and sour fish was posted, someone ordered the name of this dish.
The chef took a look at Xiao Yuzhuo, and called her to help the cook.
Xiao Yuzhuo put down the work in hand and kept paying attention to everyone in the kitchen when helping.
Everyone is busy with their own work, and it seems that no one pays attention to how the chef here makes sweet and sour fish.
There are many pots and stoves in the kitchen, and some helpers who can do their own work also start cooking.
Xiao Yuzhuo's eyes flicked past the crowd from time to time.
Suddenly a young man caught her attention.
When she was squinting and observing calmly, Zhu Xiang suddenly broke in and sought her out.
Xiao Yuzhuo had no choice but to leave the kitchen, "What's the matter?"
"Shopkeeper Sun said that a distinguished guest has come, and he is in the private room on the second floor. He can't greet you, and the distinguished guest invites you to come over." Zhuxiang said hastily.
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback for a moment, "Your guest? Who is it?"
Zhuxiang leaned against her ear, muttering in a low voice.
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned slightly, and went directly to the second floor without changing his clothes.
Sure enough, there was someone sitting in the private room, waiting for her.
Shopkeeper Sun stood by the table with a worried expression.
Xiao Yuzhuo was about to salute, but when he saw that he was dressed in men's clothes, he simply stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Hey, it's the third master and Vice-Clan Master Jing who are here? Why didn't you notify me in advance, the greeting is not good, it's rude and rude!"
Guan Sanye stared at her, was stunned for a moment, then stroked his chin and laughed, "Ms. Yu is really a handsome little gentleman dressed like this!"
Jing Yannian had a gloomy face, staring at her deeply.
Xiao Yuzhuo glanced at him, but ignored him, "I'll take a look in the kitchen, it's rare that the third master is willing to appreciate it, so I should personally cook some special dishes for the third master."
"Hey, Miss Yu still has this skill? Then I have to try it!" Guan Sanye said with a smile.
Xiao Yuzhuo said a few words of politeness, told shopkeeper Sun to serve good tea, and then went to the kitchen to make dishes by himself.
Why did Jing Yannian come to Juxian Building with Guan Sanye?
Xiao Yuzhuo was not sure for a moment.
Anyway, it must be more than just eating.
No matter what his purpose is, anyway, for this kind of person, it is better to make friends than to make enemies, and there is no need to worry about what he does if he is not rude.
Xiao Yuzhuo rolled up her sleeves and cooked the dishes by herself, and the boys in the kitchen knew that she was the jade lady who borrowed the kitchen that day and is now half of the owner.
She also cooked sweet and sour fish, and several other dishes that were already on the menu.
The chef was on the sidelines and followed suit as a helper.
The chef thinks that he has cooked these few dishes very well, but cooking may be a matter of talent.Obviously Xiao Yuzhuo, a foodie, has a talent for cooking.
It is clearly the same ingredients, the same dishes, even the same pot and stove, and the same fireman.
However, the dishes made by Xiao Yuzhuo are even more mouth-watering.
The color and fragrance are impeccable.
Xiao Yuzhuo asked the servant girl to bring up some dishes she made by herself.
She went to the wing room to change again, and then went to the private room on the second floor.
Guan Sanye and Jing Yannian have already moved their chopsticks.
Seeing her, Guan Sanye was going to put down his chopsticks to say hello, but he just served that dish, it was too tempting.
He couldn't bear it anymore, and took another chopstick before stopping.
"No wonder the lady said that Juxian Restaurant has better dishes than Xiankelai, it really is!" Guan Sanye gave a thumbs up, "However, for the same dishes, Juxian Restaurant is much more expensive than Xiankelai?"
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled slightly, "It looks like the same dishes, but Juxian Building uses real ingredients, and every dish is guaranteed to be the freshest, with a little yellow leaves, all of which are washed clean. Things that look the same, but It is definitely a different quality. Only such carefully selected and carefully prepared dishes are suitable for diners with status and taste like Guan Sanye."
Guan Sanye raised his finger at her, and smiled at Jing Yannian, "Look, how is it? I just said that Miss Yu is not an ordinary little lady, right? My Changqing Gang needs to be like her, like Xiuyuan, who is not like you. Ordinary people!"
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback when he heard the words, why, Guan San is also planning to recruit himself?
Tell her to become a member of the Evergreen Gang?
"When we were in the posthouse last time, Miss Yu said to cooperate. Let me ask Miss Yu, is she interested in joining my Evergreen Gang?" Guan Sanye asked with a smile.
Xiao Yuzhuo glanced at Jing Yannian.
He kept pursing his lips, his handsome face was full of displeasure.
It can be seen that this was Guan San's idea, and he did not make any suggestions.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled slightly, "Then what position does the third master plan to give me? If I'm under Jing Lang, I won't do it!"
she said half-jokingly.
Jing Yannian was immediately annoyed. What do you mean she won't do anything when she is under him?
Still have to sit on an equal footing?
Guan Sanye laughed loudly, "Yu Niangzi is really a strong character! But my Evergreen Gang has never had a female deputy leader, this... Yu Niangzi put me in a difficult position."
Is this disagreement?
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, and didn't force it, "A female assistant gang leader suddenly appeared, and it's hard to convince the crowd."
Guan Sanye nodded again and again, "Yes, my lady is thorough."
"But I'm afraid I'm not suitable for other positions." Xiao Yuzhuo said with a smile, "It's better for the third master to talk to me about the specific cooperation. As for the matter of joining the Evergreen Gang, we can wait until we are familiar with each other before discussing it in the long run."
Guan Sanye frowned and hesitated for a while, "Alright! I have something here that I want to deliver to my wife. Wancheng is the boundary of His Highness King Yue, and there are garrison generals sent by the emperor here. The power is complicated. If my wife After finishing this matter, Guan must thank the lady again."
"Please tell me." Xiao Yuzhuo said.
"Madam, please help me reopen the Zuixiang building." Guan Sanye said with a smile.
Xiao Yuzhuo was slightly taken aback.
Jing Yannian clapped the case and said, "No way!"
Both Guan San and Xiao Yuzhuo looked at him in astonishment.
"Business is nothing more than opening a restaurant. If you even open a brothel, what's the point?" Jing Yannian gritted his teeth.
Guan San smiled slightly, "Xiu Yuan, don't you have such a big prejudice? The earliest brothel was opened by Prime Minister Guan Zhong! How is it? Isn't Guan Zhong still the prime minister?"
Jing Yannian's face was ugly.
Seeing that Xiao Yuzhuo did not agree.
Guan San continued to speak: "What's the advantage of opening a brothel? Private brothels are mixed with good and bad people, and there are everyone. The news here is the best. If you want to inquire about anything, you can inquire here. Secondly, brothels are the best way to make money. It’s not a rumor that a fast place spends a lot of money for a confidante. Again, if you don’t open a brothel, someone will open it, because there is demand. The brothel you open can guarantee that you will not force women into prostitution. Forcing the nobles to sell their bodies, you are not in charge of other people's brothels!"
Seeing Xiao Yuzhuo drooping his eyes, he seemed to be thinking.
Guan San went on to say: "Miss Jade is upright, if this matter is in the hands of Madam Yu, she must be different from others, and it can be considered that Madam Yu has done a great deed for those little ladies who have no way out and have no other choice but to sell themselves Already!"
"Okay!" Xiao Yuzhuo looked up with a smile suddenly, "You speak to my heart! I agree with you!"
"You..." Jing Yannian's face was extremely ugly because of her anger, "Don't you want others to respect you? What kind of place is a brothel? How can you talk about respect if you are contaminated by this kind of place?"
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled, "Women in a brothel are not human anymore? Even the third master said that if I were asked to open a brothel, it would be different from other places. Jing Lang can also see if I will be desperate if I want to open a brothel." woman, and then pushed into the pit of fire? Am I only greedy for money and profit, and have no principles!"
Guan Sanye looked at Xiao Yuzhuo and suddenly clapped his hands and laughed, "Yu Niangzi asked Guan to think of a word, a hero among women. Xiuyuan, just wait and see, if she can't do what she said, then you come again If you question her, will she have nothing to say?"
Jing Yannian pursed his lips, feeling displeased, but he finally did not taunt Xiao Yuzhuo in front of Third Master Guan.
Guan Sanye naturally knew that the two had a close relationship.
He ate and drank enough, so he took a step ahead with his entourage.
Leave the private room for Jing Yannian and Xiao Yuzhuo.
Jing Yannian snorted, "Did you make up the basket in your own restaurant? Are you still taking on other people's work?"
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled slightly, "Don't bother you, I will make up my own basket."
"Say something nice to me, won't I help you?" Jing Yannian said, pointing his fingers at her.
Xiao Yuzhuo snorted softly, "Help me? Then tell me, I can't do anything without you? Just go home and stay?"
Jing Yannian didn't say anything, but it was clear in his eyes that this was the meaning.
Xiao Yuzhuo snorted softly, "Zhuxiang, please call shopkeeper Sun, and then call the boy in the kitchen who is in the gray clothes who burns the fire."
Jing Yannian raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Why, just grab someone and say you've made up for it? I'm easy to fool and deceive myself, but I'll fool you."
"Thank you for the reminder, Vice-Clan Leader!" Xiao Yuzhuo said with a smile.
Seeing her relaxed face, Jing Yannian couldn't help feeling depressed.
Shopkeeper Sun and the boy came over.
Seeing that young man, shopkeeper Sun was slightly taken aback, "Yang Daner, it's you?"
The boy named Yang Dan'er, with a wrinkled face, glanced at shopkeeper Sun, then at Zhuxiang, bowed his head and said nothing.
He didn't know if he was guilty, but he didn't dare to look at Xiao Yuzhuo.
Jing Yannian's fierce aura was too strong, and he didn't dare to glance at it.
"Is this the person you suspect?" Jing Yannian glanced at Xiao Yuzhuo and asked with a smile.
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled slightly, "It's not doubting, I'm sure it's him."
"Yang Dan'er! I treat you well!" Shopkeeper Sun said sharply.
Yang Dan'er was pushed to kneel on the ground by Zhuxiang's dexterity.
He lowered his eyes, but stiffened his neck and didn't speak.
"Your attitude is to admit that you have betrayed the recipe of Juxian Building, but you are unwilling to accept it?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked slowly.
Yang Dan'er still didn't speak.
Zhuxiang wanted to kick him, but Xiao Yuzhuo raised his hand to stop him.
Shopkeeper Sun looked ashamed, cupped his hands and said to Xiao Yuzhuo: "I am ashamed, he is my cousin. His family lives in the village. Because his family is poor, his parents sent him here. I want to be a boy. It's better to learn a craft, so I arranged him in the kitchen, thinking to let him help the cook, and after learning it, he will also be a master chef and be able to take care of himself. Even if he leaves me and Juxian Tower, he will be able to do so with this skill. I can't die of hunger."
Shopkeeper Sun let out a long sigh as he spoke, as if out of breath, he stepped forward and grabbed Yang Dan'er to beat him.
Xiao Yuzhuo persuaded with a smile.
"But is there any urgent need for money in your family?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked.
Yang Dan'er shook her head.
"It's really disappointing, not motivated at all! Your parents entrusted you to me, expecting you to learn well! You are embarrassing to me! As soon as possible, spit out all the benefits that Cyclamen has given you, and clean up your Bedroll, get the hell out of here!" Shopkeeper Sun scolded.
Xiao Yuzhuo asked that Yang Daner in Daliang, "How old are you this year, are you fifteen?"
"Back to my wife... the villain is thirteen." Yang Dan'er said.
Perhaps Xiao Yuzhuo never asked anyone to beat or scold him, and he spoke softly, which made him soften his attitude.
Xiao Yuzhuo sighed softly, only thirteen?You're only in the second year of junior high now, right?
I remember when she was in the second year of junior high school, her parents didn't even want her to wash a bowl, and they didn't hand her an apple until she had peeled it.
"At such a young age, I have to leave my parents and come to Wancheng to be an apprentice in such a big restaurant, isn't it very hard?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked.
Probably no one has ever asked him, it is very hard.
Yang Dan'er was taken aback for a moment, then looked up at Xiao Yuzhuo in surprise.
Seeing the lady in front of him was much more beautiful than when he was looking at it in the kitchen, his immature face couldn't help but blush, "It's not hard...the villain sold the recipes to Cyclamen, not because he was greedy for money!"
"It's not because you're greedy for money, why?! I think you really want to piss me off! You don't have to quibble! An apprentice like you dares to take you without that shop. Go back as soon as possible, and don't lose your parents in Wancheng again." face!" Shopkeeper Sun said angrily.
He probably felt that this cousin made him severely humiliated in front of his boss.
Xiao Yuzhuo waved his hand, "Shopkeeper Sun, don't be angry, tell him to finish what he has to say, how can such an older child not make mistakes? If there is, then change it."
Yang Dan'er suddenly stopped sticking her neck, and kowtowed to Xiao Yuzhuo solemnly, "Back to my wife, the villain is just so angry... The villain can clearly learn to cook, but they all say that the villain relies on Those who came in through the relationship with the shopkeeper came in through the back door. The villains were not asked to learn how to cook, and they were not even asked to cut and wash vegetables. "
Lighting a fire is the most insignificant thing in the kitchen, the most humble thing.
In a big family's house, only the lowest maid who doesn't care and has no connections can burn fire, so "burning fire girl" means that this person is lowly.
"You really sold the recipes of Cyclamen to them?" Xiao Yuzhuo said suddenly.
Yang Dan'er kowtowed, "It's a villain...The villain is convicted, my lady should report to the officials to arrest the villain, and the villain will definitely confess to the cyclists, so they won't be allowed to seize the business of Juxian Tower again."
Xiao Yuzhuo didn't take his words, but asked, "You just took a sneak peek, and you know what to do with those dishes?"
Yang Dan'er nodded and nodded, "I'm watching carefully. I also pay attention to what the chef uses and when to add it. But sometimes they always interrupt, and sometimes they even ask me to light two or three fires. I don't remember. So accurate."
