When Yang Qianhui returned to Yunshang City, she first went to Yunqi Palace to inquire about classes, but she came back feeling depressed.
When asked why, they said that Shui Linglong was busy with matters in Yunqi Palace and no longer taught. The remaining teachers were unknown to her. Most of the students who were attending the class together had also left, and only a few of them were familiar with her.
The school is still the same school, but things have changed and people have become unfamiliar.
The most important thing is that Yang Qianhui no longer has the same passion as before, and she is even more reluctant to go to school in a strange environment due to sadness.
Fortunately, her father, King Zhennan, had a rich harvest this time. The emperor originally wanted to give him all the territory belonging to King Baocheng, but King Zhennan refused, saying that in Zhennanguan, a land of barren mountains and rivers, all the people he saw were yellow faces every day. Po, this time I came to the capital to really see what beauty is. As a man who was about to be buried, he had nothing else to ask for. He only asked the emperor to reward him with gold, silver, jewels, and a lovely wife and concubines, so that he could live his whole life in Zhennan Pass without any regrets.
The emperor was naturally happy after hearing this, and rewarded him with rich treasures. He also selected a dozen fancy maids from the harem to give to him.
Seeing that Yang Qianhui didn't want to study anymore, the King of Zhennan simply bought a restaurant for her so that she could have fun in the capital without having to save money and spend it casually, making friends with heroes from all walks of life.
After settling Yang Qianhui, the King of Zhennan returned to Zhennan Pass with gold, silver, jewelry and many beautiful concubines.
The restaurant has three floors, with carved beams and painted columns and luxurious decorations. They had run a noodle shop before, so taking over the restaurant business was a natural success.
During the preparations for the opening, many people were recruited, but after interviews, it was found that not many were suitable. When Yang Qianhui was worried, Jiang Wan and Ran Dengjia closed the noodle shop and came to help.
Yang Qianhui was so moved that she didn't know what to say. Jiang Wan said disapprovingly: "That noodle shop originally belonged to you. Besides, we can learn more cooking skills here, which will definitely be useful if we open our own shop in the future. "
Fang Ju and Jiang Wan are the main chefs in the kitchen, and they are enough to work with other chefs.
Ran Dengjia ran forward and backward to connect the lobby and the kitchen. Ma Guanshan was a beginner and could only start as a waiter. Anyway, he has no regrets about being able to be with Fang Ju.
Yang Qianhui is the shopkeeper, so of course she sits behind the counter and only collects money.
Wanyanxi also had to support herself and came to help. Everyone thought she was blind and was afraid of dragging down others. Seeing that everyone was worried, Wanyanxi asked Fang Ju which dish was the most laborious to prepare.
Fang Ju remembered a dish called "Wensi Tofu". The tofu needs to be cut into very fine shreds, and the roots can still be distinguished after blanching in boiling water.
When she saw that Wan Yan Xi was about to try the most difficult thing, she told her the details of the operation and asked her to give up the idea.
After listening to Fang Ju's introduction, Wan Yanxi picked up a piece of tofu and put it on the chopping board, then cut off the old skin around it with a knife. The wide kitchen knife flew in her palm, slashing through the air a few times before landing on the soft tofu.
Jiang Wan was so frightened that she closed her eyes, thinking that her blindness would cut into her hands.
The falling knife made no sound, only the shadows of the knife overlapped, and the tofu slowly fell down like a puddle of mud.
In the end, there was only a "swish" sound, and the kitchen knife flew back to the knife rest and was firmly inserted into it.
"It's cut, please take a look at it, Miss Fang Ju." Wanyanxi's expression remained unchanged, looking confident.
Fang Ju couldn't believe it either, "Is this it?"
Others don't know, she knows best. Use the sharpest knife to cut into soft tofu, and the shredded tofu should be clear and silky. If you are not careful, all your efforts will be wasted.
Without many years of knife skills, there is no way to start. Wanyan Xi's seemingly perfunctory look just now was too casual. Fang Ju even wondered whether a piece of tofu was chopped into pieces.
She boiled a pot of water, waited for the water to boil, and carefully slid the tofu into the pot.
After a while, a miracle occurred, and tofu shreds as thin as hair appeared in front of everyone.
"Sister Wanyan, I admire you as a knife-skilling girl, so you will leave a full-time side dish." Fang Ju said in admiration.
Wan Yanxi is also happy and feels elated to be recognized by everyone.
The restaurant opened successfully and the restaurant was packed with people.
Everyone was busy, but Gu Shengchao was the only one who was free. He was going to Baixian Manor to handle the tasks assigned to him by the Emperor of the Dawu Dynasty.
Although Baixianzhuang is not as famous as Yunqi Palace, the locals have heard about it and soon arrived at the door after asking about it.
From the outside, it looks like a teahouse. There are people playing and singing something inside, but I can’t understand it anyway. The guests drank tea, tasted snacks and enjoyed the meal without any fuss or dissatisfaction, and shouted "Hello" from time to time.
Gu Shengchao found an empty seat and sat down. Not long after, the waiter came over and asked in a low voice what he needed.
I ordered a pot of tea and some small pastries, paid the money and tasted the tea slowly while observing the surroundings.
The tea house occupies a part of it, and there is also an open space for juggling performances, similar to the Goulan House in the Dawu Dynasty.
After drinking a pot of tea, Gu Shengchao waved to the waiter to come over and said he wanted to see their owner.
Not long after, the waiter replied and said that the owner of the village was not here.
"Then call your teahouse owner over." Gu Shengchao was displeased. The guy must be lying. It takes time to get from here to the backyard, so it's impossible to reply so quickly.
"The shopkeeper has also gone out and is not in the teahouse." The waiter just walked around the teahouse and replied with a smile.
Dogs look down upon people, so they treat him as an ordinary person and dismiss him casually.
"Snapped!"
The ancient sage raised the teapot high and threw it to the ground, smashing it into pieces.
"Come here, someone is playing tricks." The waiter called loudly.
"who?"
"Who dares to come to Baixian Village to act wild?"
In an instant, more than a dozen burly men surrounded him with sticks in their hands.
"Even he doesn't take a piss to look after himself. Not to mention the owner of the village, even the shopkeeper is not someone he can meet. He is clearly here to cause trouble." The clerk pointed at Gu Shengchao, looking like a villain. Face.
"Follow me."
The leading fat man hit the head with the Ancient Saint Chao.
These people's bodies look strong, but their auras are impetuous. They obviously lack internal strength and rely on their physical strength to intimidate people.
Gu Shengchao easily dodged by turning sideways, and hit the fat man's soft belly with his palm.
"oops!"
The fat man lost the stick and curled up and rolled on the ground, wailing in pain.
"Go together."
Seeing that the fat man had suffered a loss, the others swarmed forward and sticks rained down.
In the eyes of the ancient sage, their speed was too slow. The sticks fell first and then later, giving them enough time to dodge.
The figure of the ancient sage walked through the sticks, flying up wherever he went, falling to the ground and groaning in pain.
The boy was afraid and slipped out quietly.
The other tea guests were afraid of causing trouble and fled one after another. Even the musicians who performed the music hid.
Only Gu Shengchao was left standing in the huge teahouse, and no one of the groaning thugs on the ground dared to get up.
There was still half a cup of tea in the cup just now, so sit down and sip it carefully.
"Brother Tian, he is the one who came to the teahouse to cause trouble." The voice sounded like the clerk from before, and reinforcements were brought in from nowhere.
"It's you, Brother Gu." The visitor stared at Gu Shengchao and was stunned.
The ancient sage looked over, stood up and said in surprise: "Brother Tian Mang!"
The two looked at each other, laughed, and hugged each other, leaving the man stunned.
"You really aren't here to cause trouble, are you?" Tian Mang patted him on the shoulder.
"I said that I have official business and I want to see your village owner. Do you believe it?" Gu Shengchao asked.
"I believe it. I will take you to see the owner of the village now." Tian Mang took Gu Shengchao's hand and walked towards the backyard.
The man was speechless, his mind was buzzing with regrets.
Only then did the thug who was lying on the ground dare to stand up, point at the man and get angry: "You, you killed us." One by one, they rolled up their sleeves and approached.
"Help!" The guy ran ahead, and everyone chased after him.
After turning around a moon gate, Tian Mang pulled Gu Shengchao into the backyard.
The stone-renovated aisle is full of plum blossoms in full bloom, with a rich and fragrant aroma.
"What happened to the Tianqing Gang after I left?" Gu Shengchao was eager to know what happened next.
Tian Mang smiled bitterly: "That's it. The leader suddenly issued an order. He dispersed on the spot inexplicably and returned to their respective areas to develop their forces according to the agreed divisions. My area is not far from the capital, so I came back to report to the owner of the village. .”
"You are in the spotlight, helping King Zhennan to annihilate King Baocheng. Our village owner also asked me if I could meet you. Just as I was saying that, you came. What a coincidence." Tian Mang's sincere smile couldn't be faked. .
Gu Shengchao scratched his head: "You all know this too."
"We at Baixian Village are well-informed. If we don't know about such a big thing, we will make the brothers in the world laugh."
As they talked, the two came to a courtyard. Tian Mang was about to enter the courtyard. Gu Shengchao warned: "Brother Tian, just say that it is the messenger of the Emperor of the Dawu Dynasty who wants to see you."
Tian Mang looked Gu Shengchao up and down, shook his head and said, "You, I can't understand you anymore."
Before it was time for a cup of tea, a middle-aged man quickly walked out of the house.
With a welcoming smile, he stepped forward and took Gu Shengchao's hand: "It would be rude not to welcome the distinguished guest from afar."
"The owner of the village, he is the Gu Shengchao I mentioned." Tian Mang introduced next to him.
"Come on, let's drink tea in the house." When they arrived at the house, the guests and the host sat down, and the owner of the village made tea for Gu Shengchao himself.
"Master, you're welcome. I'll do it myself." Gu Shengchao felt a little sorry.
"I just heard from outside that they have neglected our distinguished guests. I hope you don't take it to heart. I will definitely deal with those powerful villains who almost ruined my affairs." The owner of the village is also dissatisfied with the reckless behavior of his subordinates.
"This is a letter from Emperor Dawu to the owner of the village. He asked me to hand it over to the owner of the village." Ancient Sage Chao returned to the topic.
The owner took the letter and opened it. In addition to the banknotes, there were several pieces of paper. The owner read it carefully, then threw it into the brazier and burned the letter, leaving only the banknotes.
It can be seen that the contents of the letter are absolutely confidential.
The owner of the village glanced at Tian Mang, and he left knowingly, closing the door behind him.
"I already know the content of the letter. I just opened a private post to convey the news quickly. The cost is huge. How can I survive." The owner of the village got straight to the point.
Gu Shengchao replied: "Our emperor allows Baixian Village to do business in the Dawu Dynasty to provide you with conveniences. The profits will be huge to make up for the losses."
"The Yunqigong family is the only one in the West Cold Country. We at Baixian Village try our best to avoid conflicts with them. Unfortunately, what is supposed to happen will eventually happen, so I would like to ask the young hero for a favor." The owner of the village made a request.
