"But this is all He Yinbao's conspiracy. He just wants to use the name of the so-called high-ranking official behind the scenes to arrest Ayun and torture him! Just to get revenge on you."
"What! He Yinbao, this disgusting thing! Has his brain been squeezed by the door? How dare he do such a heartless thing!" Jiang Hexi was so angry that he jumped up from the chair, his face turned red with anger, and he started to curse through gritted teeth.
.
Huo Jingchen stretched out his hand to hold her trembling arms. He thought of something and apologetically looked away. His throat was dry and he said: "Xi'er, I'm sorry. He Yinbao's second manager committed suicide out of fear of crime. He confessed all the charges before he died.
He grabbed his head and took out He Yinbao cleanly. Although I am a powerful general, even though I know that He Yinbao is not innocent, I cannot give in and beat him."
"But don't worry, I will definitely send people to keep an eye on him in the future. If he dares to do such evil things, he must be involved in many murder cases. I will send people to continue to investigate him, and I will not let him go!" I'm afraid!
Jiang Hexi was sad because of this, and Huo Jingchen hurriedly added.
Seeing Huo Jingchen looking at her uneasily, Jiang Hexi swallowed down the anger and unwillingness that had surged into her throat. She couldn't help but tighten her hands on her clothes and gritted her teeth, fearing that she couldn't help but pick up the big knife and fight with He Yinbao.
Work hard!
Looking at Jiang Hexi who kept her head down and said nothing, Huo Jingchen couldn't help but feel terrified, fearing that she would do something to hurt him on impulse.
"I'm fine. I know you've tried your best. Thank you very much." Jiang Hexi smiled slightly and blessed Huo Jingchen. His expression was exceptionally calm and peaceful.
Huo Jingchen suppressed the discomfort of numbness in his scalp and looked at her in surprise.
"I'm not stupid, so I won't make fun of my own life. The reason why He Yinbao dares to be so arrogant is because he has a lot of money. As the saying goes, if you hit a snake, it will hit you seven inches. Since he dared to attack Ayun,
, then I won’t be able to forgive him if I don’t do anything.” Jiang Hexi smiled, her expression becoming more relaxed.
Huo Yubai on the side felt a chill on his back for some reason. He couldn't help but rub his arms to get rid of the strange feeling of goosebumps all over his body, and silently took a step back.
"Then what do you want to do?" Huo Jingchen couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Hexi smiled even more happily, with her white teeth exposed, and said with a full smile: "I heard that He Yinbao opened a Yuelai Restaurant, which has now become the largest restaurant in Lingxian County. He even opened the Yuelai Restaurant in
Jingzhou Fucheng is quite famous. I don’t have any other skills, but my cooking skills are quite good. Since this restaurant is making so much money, I also want to get a share of the pie."
"Of course you can. You have excellent cooking skills and a business acumen, so you will definitely be able to achieve results." Huo Jingchen nodded in praise.
"How about you open the restaurant directly to Jingzhou Fucheng? There are more customers with money there. Moreover, Pingan Village is originally between Lingxian County and Jingzhou Fucheng, and the distance is about the same. You might as well open a larger restaurant directly.
, it's closer to the General's Mansion, so I can take better care of you." Huo Jingchen thought of something and hurriedly added.
"That won't work. You still have to eat the food one bite at a time. I'd better give it a try in Ling County first. If the business is good, it won't be too late to open a restaurant in Fucheng, Jingzhou." Jiang Hexi disagreed and shook his head.
Huo Jingchen had no choice but to suppress the regret in his heart and pretended to be indifferent: "Well, just do whatever you like and we will definitely come to support you then."
Huo and Bai on the side also nodded like chickens pecking at rice and hurriedly expressed their stance.
Jiang Hexi smiled so hard that her almond-shaped eyes curled up, and she gave a rare invitation: "Would you like to stay for a casual meal and try my handicrafts?"
"Okay, then I'm welcome." Huo Jingchen couldn't help but naturally agreed immediately.
For a moment, the atmosphere was very harmonious.
"Girl, I've packed everything, let's go!" Xing Luo knocked on Jiang Hexi's door and shouted softly.
"Here we come!" Jiang Hexi hurriedly combed her hair, randomly inserted a wooden hairpin, picked up the purse prepared in advance on the table, and trotted out.
Together with Li Tieniu, the two drove the carriage to Lingxian County and stopped in front of a restaurant.
"Girl, this is Yuelai Restaurant." Li Tieniu leaned over and whispered in Jiang Hexi's ear.
Hearing this, Jiang Hexi raised the green curtains, looked carefully at the magnificent restaurant in front of her, glanced at the four big characters "Yelai Restaurant" with dragons and phoenixes, suppressed the anger in her heart, smiled slightly, and then lowered the curtains.
"Let's go, we haven't had lunch yet, let's go in and try the good wine and food at Yuelai Restaurant." Jiang Hexi fiddled with the hem of her skirt and said to Xing Luo, who had a worried look on her face, with a sweet smile.
Hearing this, Li Tieniu, who was driving the carriage, suddenly pulled up the horse rope, stopped the carriage, and tied the horse to a specific carriage stop at the entrance of the restaurant.
Jiang Hexi and Xing Luo got off the carriage calmly, and then the three of them walked slowly into Yuelai Restaurant.
As soon as he entered the door, a man dressed as a waiter came over and said with a smile: "Please come in to invite some of the guests. I wonder if some of them are top-notch or staying in the hotel?"
"Take it to the top." Jiang Hexi said with a smile.
"Okay! Do the guests want private rooms or just sit in the lobby to eat?"
"Let's go to the lobby! We like the excitement."
"Okay! Here, please!"
After sitting down, Jiang Hexi took the tea handed over by the waiter, smiled brightly, and asked first: "This is my first time coming back to Yuelai Restaurant. I have long heard of the name of Yuelai Restaurant. Now that I saw it, it is indeed well-deserved."
!”
"My guest, you have come to the right place! Our Yuelai Restaurant is the best restaurant in the whole Lingxian County. You can find all kinds of delicious food here. Please be satisfied, sir!" The waiter was very happy after hearing this.
He raised his chin proudly and laughed loudly.
Jiang Hexi looked more and more confident, and said with a smile: "I wonder what the signature dishes are here?"
"The white jade tofu we have here is outstanding! We also have Sixi meatballs, Fugui sauce duck, Fushou soup, and Yuelai wine! Those are the signature dishes of our Yuelai restaurant!" The waiter announced a series of dishes in a sharp voice.
His face was full of pride.
"Then let's all have one! Let's have a taste of two more vegetarian dishes." Jiang Hexi raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled meaningfully.
"Okay! Please wait a moment, sir. I will bring you the food right away!" the waiter shouted and strode away.
Seeing that he was gone, Li Tieniu couldn't help but said: "Girl, this white jade tofu is now available in every restaurant, among which Yuelai Restaurant is the most famous. Sometimes when I come to the county to do business, I can hear other people saying it.
Discuss these."
"I see, it's okay. We will try their craftsmanship later and understand the strength of our opponents. You can eat freely. I have enough money." Jiang Hexi nodded clearly and ordered with a smile.
The two of them shouted.
The two of them naturally nodded in agreement.
Jiang Hexi then began to look at the decoration of the facade carefully. This Yuelai Restaurant is no different from other ancient restaurants. It has redwood cantilevered beams and square tables. It is larger than other restaurants in Ling County and has more customers.
When his eyes glanced at the large shelf full of wine against the wall, Jiang Hexi's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, and he drank tea slowly.
Half an hour later, the waiter came up with dishes.
"Sir, all the dishes you want are here. Please feel free to use them."
Jiang Hexi stretched out her hand to stop the waiter who was about to leave. Looking at his puzzled eyes, she smiled slightly, took out a silver coin from her purse, and handed it to the waiter.
"Little brother, my brother has always liked tofu the most, but he didn't come here today. Why don't you pack one for me?"
The waiter immediately beamed with joy, patted his chest and said loudly: "Don't worry, I will bring it to you as soon as you finish eating."
"Thank you very much, second brother. By the way, I have never seen these dishes before, but they are very fresh. Your chef is really capable!" Jiang Hexi glanced at the dishes on the table with a smile, pretending to be surprised.
Waiter.
"Sir, you are really discerning! The chef of our restaurant was brought back from Yanzhou at a huge price by our boss. He is very famous! Even the county magistrate has praised the dishes he made!"
"Moreover, these are all his exclusive secret recipes. No one else can make them! Even this Yuelai wine was specially shipped back from the capital by our boss. They are all good things!"
Looking at the proud waiter, Jiang Hexi's smile deepened, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "I see, no wonder this Yuelai Restaurant has become the first one in Lingxian County!"
"That's not the case! Even the Fuyuan Restaurant across the street has been outclassed by our restaurant! I think back on how impressive their Fuyuan Restaurant was back then, but now we have taken away the customers and are about to close down!" Xiao Xiao
Er glanced disdainfully at the restaurant opposite, his face full of arrogance.
Hearing this, Jiang Hexi was thoughtful and couldn't help but glance at the deserted restaurant opposite.
"Sir, if you have nothing to do, I will go and get busy, otherwise the shopkeeper will punish me later." The waiter secretly glanced at the counter and smiled.
Jiang Hexi smiled and waved her hand, signaling him to leave.
"Girl, do you have any ideas?" Seeing that the waiter finally left, Li Tieniu couldn't wait to ask in a low voice.
"Well, we'll talk about it later. Now let's try the delicacies cooked by this legendary and famous chef." Jiang Hexi nodded, pointing to the exquisite-looking dishes on the table and smiled.
Xing Luo took a bite of Fugui Sauce Duck, swallowed it and said calmly: "It's not that good, it's not as good as the food in the capital."
"That's right, the girl's food is much better than his, so the taste is better than what most people make." Li Tieniu echoed in a low voice.
Jiang Hexi smiled but didn't say anything.
After everyone had eaten and drank and settled the bill, Jiang Hexi took the two of them directly to the Fuyuan Restaurant across the street.
