Adorable Food Goddess

"Tutorial?" Xia Chunyu was confused.

Ye Jiayao explained: "I teach cooks how to cook. Lu Xiaotian said that he wanted to set up a study class specifically to train chefs. I agreed to be a teacher, so I had to compile a teaching material. Practical operations are important, but theory is also important. It’s very important to combine theory with practice.”

"Hey, actually running a school is also a way to make money..." Ye Jiayao said with emotion at the end. If you want to ask where the cooking skills are, Shandong Technical School asked Lan Xiang. She is fully capable of running a chef training class that is famous in Huaisong. Unfortunately, Lu Xiaotian thought about it first.

Xia Chunyu slapped her on the head in a funny way: "You think you're not busy enough!"

Ye Jiayao refused to suffer a loss, and immediately reached out and knocked hard back, saying angrily: "Can't I think about it?"

She really didn't have the time.

Xia Chunyu made an exaggerated expression of pain: "You were too harsh, I even touched you lightly."

Ye Jiayao gouged him out and said, "My hands still hurt. The head is so hard, like a stone."

Xia Chunyu was speechless. The person who hit the person thought the person's head was too hard. Who are these people?

"Nuo, take a look at this too..." Xia Chunyu placed a stack of drawings in front of Ye Jiayao.

Ye Jiayao opened it and said happily: "The drawings of the other courtyard? Are they completed so quickly?"

"It will be ready a few days ago. I took advantage of the fact that I was not on duty at noon today and went to Puji Temple to get it back."

Ye Jiayao looked at each one, including the general floor plan, elevations, and construction drawings... They were very detailed and professional, making people wonder if Master Ji Ren had a background in architecture.

"Take a look, is there anything that needs to be modified?"

"I think it's pretty good, what do you think?" Ye Jiayao really couldn't fault it. Master Ji Ren's idea was more thoughtful than her.

Xia Chunyu said slightly: "As long as you like it."

"Did you pay the design fee?"

"What kind of design fee are you paying? I'll just give you some sesame oil money when the time comes." Xia Chunyu said casually.

The sesame oil money also has a certain amount. Forget it, since Master Ji Ren designed such a great drawing for her and gave her a hexagram, she escaped a disaster. It would be a repayment to add more.

"Then... can we start construction?" After looking at the drawings, Ye Jiayao couldn't wait to see the new courtyard.

Xia Chunyu said: "If you are impatient, ask Manager Bai to buy materials tomorrow. Once the materials are ready, we can start work."

"How much money will it cost?" Ye Jiayao then remembered this key question.

Xia Chunyu thought for a while and said, "I asked Master Ji Ren, it's about two hundred thousand taels, but don't worry about the money. If it's not enough, I will find a way."

Ye Jiayao jumped off the bed, opened the safe, and took out the 10,000 taels of silver notes: "Take these first, I will go to the bank to pick them up tomorrow. The worst is that Zhao Qixuan's debt will be repaid later. I think they can come back at the end of two years." Great, by then, we should have money."

The second aunt said that there will be dividends at the end of the year, maybe a few hundred thousand taels less.

"Your Majesty, Second Young Mistress, it's getting late." Qiao Xi came in to urge.

Ye Jiayao turned to look at the clock. Oh, it was really late. The two of them quickly packed their things and went to the upper room.

After passing through the hall, they saw Liuli and Chunfeng walking from the other side. The two were chatting and laughing in low voices. Liuli had recovered well recently and was as before, smiling at everyone she saw and not putting on airs.

"Second brother, second sister-in-law." Chunfeng saw the second brother and second sister-in-law first and hurriedly greeted him with a salute.

Liuli also smiled slightly and called her second brother and second sister-in-law sweetly.

Such a gentle and pleasant appearance made Ye Jiayao feel very uncomfortable. She had not forgotten how resentful Liuli looked at her after giving birth that day.

Mrs. Qiao had not come to the main courtyard for dinner for a long time. In fact, her sister-in-law's pregnancy reaction only lasted for about ten days and she was in good spirits. However, Mrs. You was afraid that Liuli's sight of Qiao Mingxiu would bring back unpleasant memories, so she let her Qiao Mingxiu was eating in her room and didn't want her to come over and interfere with Liuli's eyes.

Mr. Qiao was not angry either, she was happy and contented.

After dinner, Ye Jiayao and Liuli sat with You for a while, and when they were about to leave, Zhou came.

Mrs. Zhou's face was full of joy. As soon as she sat down, she said, "I'm here today to ask my sister-in-law to help me come up with an idea. You two can also help me with my advice."

Youshi's interest was waning and he said calmly: "What's the matter?"

Mrs. Zhou sighed and said, "Hey, I've been annoyed to death by the matchmakers who came to meet me in the past few days. The young men from several houses are all good, but the master and I don't know which one to choose."

Ye Jiayao sneered in her heart, this was just to show off, why did she sigh on purpose!

Liuli asked: "Are you asking for Yulian?"

Mrs. Zhou said: "Yes, I am begging for Yu Lian. Normally I have to make plans for Jin Lian first, but Jin Lian doesn't have a suitable partner at the moment, so I have to settle on Yu Lian first."

Haha, Mrs. Zhou takes Yulian to sell her every day. Jinlian was not born by herself and she didn’t even have a chance to show her face. Who would come to propose marriage?

Youshi whispered: "Which young master has come to propose marriage?"

Mrs. Zhou sighed again: "I don't like anything else. Now there are two families who can't make a decision. One is the second son of the Deng University scholar's family. This year, he is twenty-two. He is a talented person. Last year in Qiu Wei, he was ranked seventh in the first class. , now he has also entered the Hanlin Academy, and his future is limitless. I heard that he was once the prince's companion. The other family is the eldest son of Mr. Cui, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses. He was the second place in the martial arts examination last year and was twenty years old. These two Young masters are all legitimate children, sister-in-law, what do you think?"

Youshi smiled: "I have some friendship with both the Deng family and the Cui family. They are both very good. No matter which family I choose, my siblings will be fine."

Since Mrs. Zhou felt good about it, she didn't want to talk too much. Moreover, the main purpose of Mr. Zhou coming to ask her to make up her mind today was not, but to show off.

Mrs. Zhou said: "It doesn't matter what the outcome is. There has to be a distinction between superior and inferior. I just thought that my sister-in-law knows better, so I came to ask my sister-in-law."

"Both the civil and military are the pillars of the country. No matter which family you choose, it depends on you." You smiled and said.

"What a headache. What should I do? The master and I have been discussing it for several days, but we still can't decide. Both families are waiting for a reply!" Mrs. Zhou said.

"That's because Yu Lian is provocative. Good girls are sought after by hundreds of families. What's there to worry about? It's too late for others to be happy." Youshi followed her words and complied with her wishes, so that she could leave quickly.

Liuli suddenly sneered: "Who said that the second young master of the Deng family is a talented person? Didn't the matchmaker say that the second young master of the Deng family has six toes on one foot?"

Zhou was stunned and said in disbelief: "Really?"

Youshi quickly winked at Liuli, why did Liuli talk so much? Speaking of the fact that the second son of the Deng family has six toes, Liuli's crime is not small. The Deng family has always kept it a secret. No one outside knew about it. But that year, when the second son of the Deng family came to the palace to accompany the prince to study, Liuli played a prank on him. While he was sleeping, he threw his shoes into the pool. The second son of Deng went into the water to retrieve his shoes, but was cut on his foot by a stone in the pool. Only then did everyone realize that he had six toes, and then he was scolded by Liuli. Everyone knows it. As a result, he has not been able to get a wife until now.

Liuli didn't notice Youshi's hint at all, and continued: "If Third Aunt doesn't believe it, just ask around and you will find out. Third Aunt thought she had chosen a good marriage, and she shouldn't make people laugh behind her back."

It was unkind for You to hold up his forehead and expose someone's shortcomings. Besides, she had said good things about the second young master Deng, but Liuli came to trouble her. Shouldn't Zhou think that she was deliberately concealing it to harm her?

"Then the Deng family is too hateful. This... this is tantamount to cheating on marriage..." Mrs. Zhou was very angry. She originally wanted to use this to brag, but she ended up being embarrassed.

Ye Jiayao was truly speechless towards Liuli. Isn't it a slap in Youshi's face if she said this?

"These six toes are nothing, they are not born on the hands." Ye Jiayao thought about rounding up the topic: "The Deng family comes from a well-educated family and has an innocent family background. The second young master Deng is talented, knowledgeable and has good character. This is what matters. "

Liuli smiled and said: "The second sister-in-law said it is easy. If it were you, would you get married?"

I cursed in my heart: You are a flatterer, you just know how to flatter Youshi.

Ye Jiayao smiled warmly: "I can't say that, I'm already married."

"What Jinxuan said is absolutely true. No one is perfect, and flaws cannot cover up the flaws. Small flaws can be ignored," Youshi said.

"That won't work. I can't let Yulian be laughed at and say she married a six-fingered husband." Mrs. Zhou was already disgusted with the second young master Deng.

"And the young master of the Cui family, despite his superb martial arts skills, his appearance is not to be flattered. He has a big mole on his face, which is so black that it looks like a fly stuck on it. It's so ugly." Liuli added. Sniffed.

Zhou's expression was uncertain. Not to mention how depressed he was, why was this not good? Is it possible that someone who can't be called a daughter-in-law is talking about her Yulian?

"It seems that I really can't believe the matchmaker's words. It's better for me to come here today, otherwise my Yulian will be harmed." Mrs. Zhou said angrily.

"I'll go back and tell the master right now that these two families have returned, and it's not like my Yulian can't get married." Mrs. Zhou stood up and left angrily.

Ye Jiayao sent Mrs. Zhou out. When she turned around, she heard Mrs. You complaining: "Why did you bother to expose others' shortcomings?"

Liuli disagreed and said plausibly: "How can this expose someone else's shortcomings? I am telling the truth. If the third aunt marries Yulian out of nowhere, will she not be able to blame her mother in the future? I am doing this for my mother's sake and for Yulian's sake. "

Ye Jiayao sighed secretly, did Liuli really think Yulian was so popular? The city of Jinling was only so big, and gossips had already reached her ears. She did not like the behavior of the Zhou family and her third uncle. They were too high-profile and liked to brag. If it were not for these reasons, those young masters with real status would not be able to do so. I would not ask for Yulian and get married to such a family.

Youshi didn't bother to argue with Liuli, this child was too ignorant. Whether it's the way she behaves or the way she looks at people, the second daughter-in-law has to be a few steps ahead of Liuli.
