Chapter 46: It's Her Turn to Climb the Wall(1/2)

The speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional.

Jiang Yanyi felt that after the hot pot restaurant stabilized, no matter whether there were mice or not, he would have to keep a cat, at least he would have to make no excuses for finding fault.

However, there are basically no one selling local cats that catch mice on the market. Usually, they are in neighborhoods. If a cat has a baby, they will catch them for a month or two and only come back to raise them.

Female cats have many births in a nest, and ordinary people don’t raise so many cats in their homes. If they give them away, they can be used as a favor.

Jiang Yanyi secretly remembered the cat raising in her heart.

The business was booming on the day of opening, and she thought it was far beyond her imagination. After the two newly slaughtered sheep were sold out, she went to the butcher to slaughter two more. The store didn't have time to spare until the afternoon.

However, some of the high-ranking officials and nobles who lived nearby did not order a pot at noon, so they left a message to make one later. The servant of the mansion later took it and told them to have roasted meat, and they could sell it with extra money.

Whether these high-ranking officials simply want to eat delicious food, or are they trying to enjoy the new "antique soup" business with a trend? Jiang Yanyi is unknown. She doesn't have time to figure out what the powerful people are thinking if they have money to make money.

She cleaned up the table outside, made three more pots, cut several large plates of mutton slices and brought them out.

"Thanks to everyone's help today, I won't say anything politely. Just eat this meal with your stomach open!" She called on the hot-headed soldiers who helped today: "The food is in the kitchen, and it's not enough to add it."

"Enough, Master Jiang, this mutton is expensive. We are all rough people. We can't get used to these things, but instead feel that the pigs are more fragrant."

"What's the name of Master Jiang? Now I have to call Manager Jiang!" someone next to me smiled, "Shopkeeper Jiang, don't be busy anymore, sit down and eat. We are not here, so you can't greet me in person!"

Jiang Yanyi smiled and asked them to eat first, and went to the kitchen to ask Chu Li to come out for food.

Chef Li stewed a large pot of soup with pickled sheep bones and white radish. While scooping the radish and mutton soup into the basin, he scolded Jiang Yanyi:

"You girl, you have nothing to eat. Can you do this business? Do you think the business in the store can still be like this every day? Those bunnies are not picky about their mouths, and they can drink the soup base for you to stew these sheep bones with big white radish. "

Jiang Yanyi sprinkled the cut coriander into the soup bowl, and mixed the mutton soup with coriander made the aroma stronger.

She smiled and said, "It's all right. Thanks to Master, you and these brothers today, otherwise I would be in a hurry to open the store and I don't know what to do."

Speaking of manpower, Chu Zi has been on the stove for the longest time. No one knows better than him what kind of workload the kitchen is to match how many manpower.

He said, "You have no experience in opening a store for the first time, but I see that the business in your store will not be as busy as you are today, but you will not be idle either. You can hang the broth yourself in advance, but you have to find a master on the stove so that you can get busy."

"The food delivery is still the same as the one who can deliver the food at the hall. Just add tea and water to clean the table and let the girl named okra make it. You are the shopkeeper and you have to sit at the counter to check the accounts. If you want to continue roasting the roasted meat in the future, you have to hire someone else."

As soon as he said this, Chef Li felt distressed again, "It's fine today, don't eat pots and send roasted meat skewers in the future. You asked the master to tell you what's good? Grill some roasted meat, can't you use pork? Is it for nothing to send out so much mutton!"

Jiang Yanyi knew that Chef Li said that these were all for her own good. She originally planned to invite two kung fu halls, but today she stood at the door all day and then she realized that the restaurant was busy and was as good as her at the Huotou Camp.

The manual configuration that Chu Zi analyzed for her was the most reasonable.

She nodded and said, "I won't give roasted mutton in the future, so I will give it to you today to gain fame. However, Master, you said, "I want to ask if you have any ideas. I want to recruit two people who know how to fight and kick."

Chef Li saw the Hu family coming to make trouble in the morning and understood Jiang Yanyi's concerns. He said, "Dunzi, I can find several runners for you, but I have to turn around and ask Lao Zhao to go."

Jiang Yanyi smiled with a pleasant smile: "Thank you, Master."

"If we are both master and apprentice, don't talk about these things. You can open the restaurant on the street of the Protectorate Mansion to a prosperous life. It is because you have the ability. When the master turns back and talks to others, his face will be bright."

Speaking of this, Chu Zi sighed again: "But people sometimes have to look at the long-term. When you are so arrogant, there are always people who are jealous of you and secretly use secret tricks to punish you. The Hu family comes to the door today, and I don't know which one it is tomorrow. Next door is the Protectorate's Mansion. The old saying goes, 'Distance relatives are worse than close neighbors'. You walk around more during festivals and holidays, and get on this line. Those who hide in the gutters and don't dare to act rashly."

Jiang Yan remembered Feng Shuo's actions before handing her tea, and felt a little uncomfortable, but nodded: "I remember."

The Huotou Army outside came in to serve the dishes, and Chu Zi Li didn't say much to Jiang Yanyi and left the kitchen with his hands behind his back.

Huo Tou Jun sat down at two tables, and was already sweating profusely. When he saw Jiang Yanyi and Chu Li, he quickly asked them to sit down and eat.

Zhao Touer sat alone at another table, and urged him to see this: "Old Li, you've been scrambling for a long time, and the pot is almost cold."

Chef Li glared at Zhao Touer: "Where can the charcoal beneath the pot burn? It's not embarrassing to be greedy when it's old."

These two are old friends and often argue with each other in Huotou Camp. The people in Huotou Camp have long been accustomed to it.

Jiang Yanyi went out to ask Mrs. Chen and his wife to come over to eat. Mrs. Chen refused to say that she had used it and refused to come over. Jiang Yanyi sent a bowl of roasted mutton.

Jiang Yanyi didn't know that Mrs. Chen was so sad that she received this bowl of roasted mutton. She rushed to work to give her a piece of clothes as a gift for her in the next few days.

After finishing the meal, Chu Li and his friends returned to the military camp. After all, they still have to walk a long way back to the Xizhou Camp in the suburbs of the city.

Jiang Yanyi took a look at the hour. It was just around 3:00 p.m., and the people who reserved the pot for the evening only came to get the hour after the Shen time. In ancient times, one hour was equivalent to two hours in later generations, and it would only come after 5:00 p.m.

Jiang Yan remembered that he had been busy today and had not had time to go to the flower house to see the peppers for seedlings. He was afraid that the customers would come to the store and the okra would not be able to greet him, so he closed the store halfway and went to the Protectorate's Mansion to water the peppers.

She has to go there sooner or later these days. When the doorman heard the knock on the door, he knew it was her. He smiled and warmed up every time, and the same was true this time.

He opened the door and said, "Shopkeeper Jiang, you didn't come in the morning. I also said that you forgot about it today."

Jiang Yanyi smiled and said, "The restaurant opened today, and some clones are too busy, so I am now free."

The concierge bowed and congratulated him: "It's a good start, I wish Manager Jiang a prosperous business."

Jiang Yanyi thanked him and went to the flower room.

Although the Fengfu was big, Jiang Yanyi had been in and out so many times, and he had basically never met a maid on the road. He was a servant or an older rude woman doing it.

She heard that the King of Southern Liao was not close to women. Before the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine came to live her old age, there was half a young maid in the mansion.

Now that there are maids in the mansion, they are all in front of the Taihuang Concubine, and they are not allowed to leave the courtyard where the Taihuang Concubine is located.

Jiang Yanyi recalled Feng Shuo in his impression and felt that it was either her or the world, and he must have had some misunderstandings about Feng Shuo.

She arrived at the door of the flower room and found that the servant who used to be a servant here was not here, and she felt a little strange.

When I walked into the flower room with half a bucket of water, I saw the figure squatting beside the field where she raised the pepper seedlings, and was stunned.

The sunlight shone through the glazed tiles on the roof, covering everything in the flower room with a hazy halo. Feng Shuo half squatted on the ground, his clothes embroidered with dark red curly clouds and snake patterns fell to the ground. He was standing next to him, and the hands suitable for holding a pen and holding a sword were now holding a wooden ladle, carefully watering the pepper seedlings that had already grown green buds.

Hearing the movement at the door, he turned his head slightly and when he saw Jiang Yanyi standing at the door, his expression changed slightly.

Jiang Yanyi said hello awkwardly: "Your Majesty, are you here to water the flowers too?"

Feng Shuo nodded hesitantly, got up and poured the remaining half of the scoop of water on the beautifully blooming Four Seasons peonies, maintaining a cold and noble look on his face: "Well, look at the growth of these green buds, so water them."

Jiang Yanyi glanced at the pots of four-season peonies placed beside the flower house, and found that only the pot he had just poured, the soil at the bottom was moist.

If he didn't know that the pepper seedlings belonged to him, why did he explain it in one go?

For a moment, all kinds of thoughts surged into Jiang Yanyi's heart. She did not expose his lie that was about to be covered up. She thanked her for blessing: "I'm sorry, this is a piece of land that the civilian girl rented from the housekeeper of the mansion. She planned to plant some gadgets."

Feng Shuo threw the wooden ladle back into the bucket and cleaned his hands with the water in the bucket: "Oh, that's it. What did you plant?"

Jiang Yanyi was afraid of causing him misunderstanding, so she didn't say it was chili: "With the seasoning, with it, the dishes made can be more delicious."

Feng Shuo was silent for a long time.

He thought she had tried her best to find a flower house and planted some precious flowers and plants, but it turned out to be just a seasoning for cooking.

This answer is really...unexpected and reasonable.

Jiang Yanyi also realized that this answer was indeed like she was using the flower house to underestimate the material, and she didn't want to say much. Fortunately, the pepper seedlings had been watered, so she no longer had to stay here, so she said, "The girl in the civilian took her leave."

Feng Shuo half-down his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking. When she was about to walk to the door of the flower room, he asked: "You... want to continue looking for your fiancé?"

Jiang Yanyi's steps froze, thinking that he didn't know his identity, and his behavior was abnormal recently. Asking himself this question was probably about her verbal verbal.

Her true identity is so difficult that she has been deceiving Feng Shuo before. If he knew all this, he would not know how to change his face. Even though he knew that he liked him a little, Jiang Yanyi would not dare to bet on this life-related matter.

She said, "Of course I'm looking for it."

She knew very well that she mostly admired and awesome about Feng Shuo, and these feelings were still too far from liking.

Not to mention the disparity in status now, even if she restored her identity as the legitimate daughter of her aristocratic family, she would not have an equal relationship with Feng Shuo.

It was normal for the ancients to have three wives and four concubines. Maybe he had some meaning to her today, but maybe his eyes fell on another woman tomorrow.

If she gets trapped in, she will either become a resentful woman because of jealousy, or will be in the deep courtyard for the sake of her children, or will be desperate to ask for a letter to release her wife... No matter which one, it will not be the ending she wants to see.

This is the trend of thought in this era. It is undoubtedly absurd and ridiculous to come from another world, with the concept of love from that world, and to realize a pair of people here for a lifetime.

She couldn't believe that she could only meet a happy man who would only treat her well for the rest of her life just because she had read many romance novels about the male and female protagonists who had never been to death before traveling through time.

Once you take the wrong path, it will be difficult to turn back.

So it is better to abandon some feelings that have not yet sprouted.

Feng Shuo listened to her words and twisted a petal of four seasons in his hand. The force of his fingertips had pinched the petals to pieces, but his tone was extremely calm: "What a long-lasting love, what if he doesn't want you?"

The word "long love" is used subtly, but unfortunately Jiang Yanyi is very confused now, and his mind is full of a prince. Is this suitable?

She vaguely guessed that Feng Shuo wanted to say to her, and her hand that was hidden under her long sleeves was so nervous that she pinched the corner of her clothes, "If he had no intention of me, it would be nice for me to continue to open a restaurant by myself in the second half of his life."

The implication is that you will no longer consider marriage.

After hearing what Feng Shuo said, he remembered the scene when Lu Linyuan bowed to her outside the store and bowed back.

After that gift, she let go of the past and only wanted to be a cook in this sideline. Was she heartbroken by Lu Linyuan?

The crushed petals in his hand were thrown down. He looked at Jiang Yanyi standing at the door of the flower room. The dark color like night in his eyes slowly surged up, deep and depressing, but the words he said were clear and calm, and he said: "It's great?"

The two cold words fell into Jiang Yanyi's ears, and she inexplicably made her feel palpitations.

The hand she was holding the bucket tightened and almost fled in panic: "The girl in the civilian took her leave."

Life is passing day by day. Since the popularity of the hot pot restaurant was promoted on the day it opened, the business in Jiang Yanyi's store has been good.

The runner who knows how to punch and kick can't be found for a while. After all, it's not profitable to be a runner. People who are really capable either go to the escort agency or go to the Gaomen Mansion to work as a guard.

Dunzi’s master Chu Zi introduced Jiang Yanyi to a woman in her early thirties. Her surname is Guo, and she is big and round. She is not as fat as Mrs. Hu. She is really strong.

It is said that the man in the family was a pig slaughter and died of illness last year. Aunt Guo ran a pork shop for herself for a while, but she didn't manage it. She wanted to go to a restaurant to be a master of the dunzi. Others also thought that her husband had just died was unlucky and was unwilling to ask for it.
