Adorable Food Goddess

He Lianjing went to find his elder brother as soon as he returned home.

"Brother, lend me five hundred thousand taels of silver."

He Lianxuan was drinking tea. He spit out the words and looked at Xiao Jing in astonishment: "What did you say?"

"Lend me five hundred thousand taels, and I won't want anything else after we separate." Xiao Jing said.

He Lianxuan put down the tea cup and reached out to touch Xiaojing's forehead: "Is your head not burned out?"

"Brother, I'm serious, no joke, give me five hundred thousand taels, I need it urgently."

He Lianxuan looked at him: "Did you get into trouble outside?"

"No."

"Then what do you need so much money for?"

"It's for regular use anyway." Xiao Jing said.

He Lianxuan became serious: "Fifty thousand taels is not a small amount. If you don't clearly explain the purpose, I won't give it to you."

"Brother, I promise it's definitely business." Xiao Jing was anxious.

"Since it's business, let's talk about it." He Lianxuan picked up the tea cup again.

Xiao Jing clenched his teeth and started talking.

"Tian Shang Ju was bought by Chunyu. Brother Chunyu doesn't know what medicine he took wrongly. He keeps getting on with Yaoyao and bullies her in different ways. I can't stand it anymore. I want to help Yaoyao terminate the contract."

He Lianxuan looked surprised. He was not surprised that Xia Chunyu bought a restaurant. What was surprising was that Xia Chunyu would have trouble with Li Yao. This is unreasonable! It makes sense to say that the restaurant was purchased to protect Li Yao.

"I think there is a misunderstanding here?" He Lianxuan said.

"What misunderstanding? There is no misunderstanding at all. Brother, you didn't see Li Yao's sad look. Brother Chunyu really went too far." Xiao Jing was filled with indignation.

He Lianxuan coughed twice: "Well, Xiaojing, there are some things that outsiders like us can't understand. I advise you to stay less involved in their affairs. The more you interfere, the worse it will be. I think Chunyu knew it well."

Maybe it was just a quarrel between the couple and it would get better in a few days. But when outsiders intervened, it made things difficult.

Well, he thinks so.

"What outsiders? What's their business? Brother, I don't understand what you are saying."

"You don't need to understand. You will understand in the future. What you heard from me is correct, I promise." He Lianxuan said.

"But……"

"Stop it, go ahead and do what you have to do, don't bother me, I still want to read the book!" He Lianxuan chased people away impatiently.

Xiaojing wrinkled his nose in dismay, "If you don't give it to me, I'll figure it out myself."

After Xiao Jing left, the more He Lianxuan thought about it, the more wrong he became. According to Xiao Jing's temper, the more you don't let him do, the more he will do things. Maybe he will go to his mother to cheat money now. He Lianxuan quickly got up and went to the room.

Sure enough, Xiao Jing is pestering Yide.

"Mom, I want to do business and buy a restaurant."

Yide said: "You just went to the Ministry of War to work, and you want to do something else. How can this be done?"

"Mom, I'll provide the money, and someone will take care of it."

Yide thought for a while and asked: "Which restaurant is it? Is the person in charge reliable?"

"It's Tianshangju. The shopkeeper of Tianshangju wants to sell the restaurant because something happened at home. Mom, you also know how good the business of Tianshangju is now. I will buy it and let Li Yao take care of it. It will be reliable." Xiaojing did not hesitate to lie in order to defraud money.

Yide heard that it was Tianshangju and that Li Yao was in charge, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved. Speaking of which, Tianshangju is now the most prosperous restaurant in Jinling City.

"How much does it cost?"

"Not much, just half a million." Xiao Jing stretched out a hand and shook his five fingers.

Yide gasped: "Five hundred thousand is not much? Do you think your family runs a bank?"

"It's really not much. The income from Tianshangju in one day is several thousand taels, and it will be paid back in a few months." Xiao Jing didn't know the specific amount, so he made random guesses and made random remarks.

Yide frowned and said, "If that's the case, you can buy it. Otherwise, you can ask the shopkeeper to talk to me."

"Mom, you can't trust me!" Xiao Jing pursed her lips and acted coquettishly.

"It's not that Mom can't trust you. Mom is more experienced in this kind of thing." Yide smiled, his eyes full of doting.

"Mom, don't listen to his nonsense, it's nothing like this." He Lianxuan walked in. Fortunately, he came quickly, otherwise my mother would have been tricked.

When Xiao Jing saw his eldest brother coming, he knew there was no chance and wailed in his heart, "Brother, can't you come later?"

Yide was confused: "Is there such a thing?"

"Mom, Xiao Jing was just joking, Tianshangju has been bought by someone a long time ago." He Lianxuan glared at Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jingqi said dullly: "Forget it, let's not talk about it, it's boring."

Yide was very curious: "Who is it? So discerning."

He Lianxuan said: "I don't know, I just know it has changed hands."

He couldn't just reveal Xia Chunyu's secrets.

"Hey, what a pity. If I had known earlier, I would have bought it." Yide said regretfully.

Ye Jiayao made Buddha Jumping Over the Wall for the second time. The complicated process dazzled everyone, and they only sighed: This dish, which was named after the emperor himself, is really not simple!

After the small wine jar was simmered, Ye Jiayao sat on the stool tiredly.

"How long does this take to simmer?" Zhong Xiang asked.

"An hour."

Uh...how long will it take?

Xiao Lu came in and said, "Brother Yao, the guests outside have almost left."

Ye Jiayao nodded: "I understand, you all should rest, I'll watch from here."

Anyway, everyone was living in the restaurant, and she was the only one living outside. It was embarrassing and unacceptable to let so many people stay with her.

Deng Haichuan said: "It's okay, we are idle when we are idle."

Brother Yao has been unhappy these days, how could they leave Brother Yao and go rest on his own.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Axing came in and said, "Brother Yao, the new shopkeeper has left."

Ye Jiayao smiled and left. With just one word from him, she was busy in the kitchen for a long time and ended up leaving...

He just tormented her like this, even giving her a chance to explain, and put her in the enemy group.

In fact, it’s useless to explain! The person he likes is Liu Yiyi, and the person he wants to marry is Princess Liuli. Who does she count? A woman who was abandoned by her family, a woman who didn't even have an aboveboard identity.

Xia Chunyu, you are cruel.

But, do you think you can defeat me like this? I, Ye Jiayao, have even experienced death, am I still afraid of this small setback?

"Brother Yao, what should I do if the Buddha jumps over the wall?" Cui Dongpeng asked.

Ye Jiayao took out a piece of silver and said, "Axing, go get two jars of good wine, and I'll get two more dishes. Let's have a midnight snack."

The delicious food that you have worked so hard to make cannot just go to waste. If he doesn’t eat it, everyone else will.

Zhong Xiang said: "I'll do it!"

Zhong Xiang rolled up his sleeves and went to sort out the remaining ingredients.

"I'm here to help, too." Deng Haichuan stood up and said.

The carriage arrived at Jing'an Marquis Mansion, and Xia Chunyu brothers got out of the carriage. Song Qi handed the carriage to the concierge and caught up with the prince.

"Your Majesty, it's not good for us to leave like this! We should tell my husband... and Li Yao to explain that you are leaving because of something important." Song Qidao.

Xia Chunyu had a gloomy face. Is this necessary to explain? She had already chosen Xiaojing. He had only been away for seven days, and yet she accepted his ancestral jade pendant. What else could he explain?

"That's not necessary." Xia Chunyu said coldly.

Song Qi didn't even know what the problem was between the prince and Miss Ye? The prince was still so anxious and distressed when he sent Miss Ye home that day, but when he came out, he had a cold expression on his face.

It's not like they never had quarrels between them, and things got better within a few days, but this time it seemed like the problem was a bit serious.

"Second brother, I also think it's not good not to say anything." Xia Chunfeng said.

Xia Chunyu Lin glanced at him and walked straight in.

Xia Chunfeng Nuonuo: "It's all my fault that this guy came here. He didn't care about asking him anything, and he kept urging us to hurry up."

"Your Majesty, Third Young Master, you are finally back. I am waiting in the room!" The housekeeper came up to greet him and said with a smile.

Xia Chunfeng was surprised: "Dad is back?"

"Yes, I originally came back yesterday, but I didn't catch up. I'll tell you today."

Xia Chunfeng laughed and said, "The moon on the 15th day is 16 yuan, so today is just the right time."

Xia Chunyu was also happy. He hadn't seen his father for several years, so no wonder he called them back.

The two of them quickened their pace and headed to the upper room.

In the kitchen of Tiantianju, Ye Jiayao took off the upside-down bowl and peeled off the lotus leaves. A strong fragrance immediately filled the air.

"Wow...it smells so good. This fragrance makes people drool!" Deng Haichuan exclaimed.

"No wonder the Buddha was told to jump over the wall. The Buddha couldn't hold himself back after hearing it."

"You are worthy of being an imperial cook, Brother Yao, you are so awesome."

"Pour the wine on. Today's meal is mine, and everyone can enjoy it." Ye Jiayao said proudly.

I've been really unlucky lately, so drink some wine to counteract the bad luck.

"Come on, fill it up." Cui Dongpeng enthusiastically poured wine for everyone.

"We are celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival today." Deng Haichuan said with a smile.

Ye Jiayao picked up the big bowl first: "Okay, even if it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, it's a pleasure to work with you. I hope that everyone can celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together every year in the future."

"Brother Yao, we will follow you. In three years, if you leave, we will leave, if you stay, we will stay." Deng Haichuan said.

Everyone said in unison, loudly: "Brother Yao leaves, we go, Brother Yao stays, we stay."

Looking at the sincere faces, Ye Jiayao felt warm in her heart, "Fuck you, you stupid ass. Without you, I still have friends, and the world is still wonderful."

"Drink." Ye Jiayao took the lead and drank a whole bowl.

Damn, what a pleasure.

Everyone finished their bowls to the bottom and began to feast and share the delicious food.

Because she had to go back, Ye Jiayao didn't dare to drink too much, and she couldn't let everyone get drunk. She had to start work tomorrow, which would delay things and get scolded again.

After three bowls of wine and almost all the food, Ye Jiayao asked Zhong Xiang to keep an eye on it and then went back first.

The moonlight was like silver, casting frost on the ground. Ye Jiayao walked alone on the quiet and deserted street, stumbling and humming a wild tune.

"It's all bubbles, just a moment of fireworks. All your promises are too fragile, and your outline is all because I didn't see through it, so I'm sad..."

"Who is it, howling in the middle of the night?" A yell came from somewhere.

Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes. It's rare for me to be happy today. What's wrong with singing a song? I am not allowed to sing, but I insist on singing.

"The river flows eastward, and the stars in the sky are like the Big Dipper..."
