Adorable Food Goddess

Naya lived in Prince Helian's Mansion and went into the palace every day to greet the emperor and queen. I heard that the emperor was suffering terribly from Naya's persecution, and the queen also had a headache.

Of course, the queen's headache was fake. She wished that He Lianxuan would return to Jinling as soon as possible. He Lianxuan was the prince's greatest help!

Su Yi and Zhao Qixuan set off south on a sunny morning.

The branch in Suzhou has been launched, and the floor in Hangzhou has also been secured. It would have been best to send Zhong Xiang there to take charge, but Zhong Xiang is also responsible for teaching training classes, and the marriage between Zhong Xiang and Jiang Yue has also been decided. Ye Jiayao was embarrassed to let the young couple separate, so she gave up the idea of ​​sending Zhong Xiang out.

Apart from Zhong Xiang, the only other suitable candidates are Wang Mingde and Cui Dongpeng. However, Cui Dongpeng's training class has not yet ended. Wang Mingde may not be able to take on a big job by himself. Ye Jiayao plans to wait for a while and simply wait for Cui Dongpeng to graduate.

Tianshangju launched new dishes for the New Year in one fell swoop, coupled with various promotional activities, the popularity is still the same. Moreover, Tianshangju took advantage of the national mourning period to vigorously train chefs, and several good talents emerged, so that Wang Mingde and others would not be disappointed. After leaving, you will face a situation where there is no work.

Everything is developing towards a normal, stable and good situation. Ye Jiayao has a lot of peace of mind. She hardly needs to take care of it. She can just go and look around occasionally, and she can be a hands-off shopkeeper with peace of mind.

When you start a business, you must work hard on your own. When your business reaches a certain scale, it is not a good thing for you to do everything yourself. The key is to learn to delegate power, cultivate various talents, and give your subordinates full space to develop. You can plan your own strategies and control the overall situation. , Ye Jiayao knows this well.

That day, Ye Jiayao called Aunt Jiang over and handed her the makeup she had prepared for Jiang Yue.

Ye Jiayao has always regarded Jiang Yue as her sister, and Zhong Xiang is the main force in Tianshangju and can be regarded as her good brother. Naturally, Ye Jiayao cannot be stingy.

Aunt Jiang looked at the gift list and was very uneasy: "Second Young Mistress, this...this is too much, why are you so embarrassed? You have already given Yue'er Pastry House 20% of the share. We can't ask for any more."

Ye Jiayao smiled and said: "Jiang Yue is responsible for most of the pastry shop, and she should be given a share. Besides, I regard Jiang Yue as my sister, and your family is also my family. Are you still seeing me outside?"

Aunt Jiang said embarrassedly: "We are not being honest. It is really the Second Young Madam, your gift is too heavy..."

A pair of gold bracelets, a pair of gold steps, a pair of jade bracelets, a pair of jade hairpins, and a complete set of silver jewelry. There are more brocades than I can wear in this life, plus five hundred taels of silver and fifty taels of gold. , this, this, this... are really too many, too precious.

It is more than the entire Jiang family combined. How can Aunt Jiang feel at ease? They are not greedy people.

"Take it, if you don't, I will be angry." Ye Jiayao said with a smile.

Aunt Jiang couldn't resist, and said sincerely: "Second Young Madam, our Jiang family is really lucky to have met you and the prince in eight lifetimes. Without you, we would have to live in Heifenggang for the rest of our lives. We want to reunite as a family." I dare not even think about it, let alone live such a stable and comfortable life now, Second Young Madam, you and the Crown Prince are the great benefactors of our Jiang family, and we will never be able to repay your kindness no matter how hard we do it."

Ye Jiayao smiled and said: "Aunt Jiang, don't say that. It's all fate. It doesn't matter whether it's a favor or not. When A Li gets married, the same etiquette will be applied."

That's how Ye Jiayao behaves. If you treat me well, I will only treat you better and be completely satisfied. If you want to harm me, I won't be polite to you. There are clear grievances.

It is said that the Jiang family inherited her and Chunyu's kindness, but at Heifenggang, if it weren't for Uncle Jiang's help, Chunyu's task would not have been completed so smoothly; if it weren't for Jiang Yue's dedicated management of the pastry room and dessert house , it would be impossible for her to have such a good business; last time she was imprisoned in Datonghui, if it weren't for Jiang Li and Uncle Jiang, I'm afraid Xiaojing and the others wouldn't even be able to figure out which way to open the door to the secret room.

Everyone in the Jiang family deserves to be treated like this.

"Hey, A Li, this kid, told him several girls but he was not satisfied. No, he asked his sister to go ahead." When it came to Jiang Li's marriage, Aunt Jiang felt worried.

Logically speaking, given the order of growth and development, Yue'er should wait until Jiang Li gets married, but Yue'er is already nineteen this year, and Zhong Xiang is twenty-three, so they really can't afford to wait.

Ye Jiayao comforted him: "Marrying a wife and a husband is a lifelong event. It is better to be in a hurry than to rush in. A Li is now highly regarded by the manufacturing bureau and has a bright future. Are you still worried about finding a good wife? Just be patient and wait slowly. !”

Aunt Jiang smiled bitterly and said, "Am I in a hurry to hold my grandson? I can help them take care of the child while my body is still strong, but don't wait until I can't hold it anymore."

"Aunt Jiang, look at what you said. You and Uncle Jiang will still be so strong in ten years. How about you go back and ask A Li what kind of woman he likes, and I will help him keep an eye on it." Ye Jiayao said with a smile. .

Aunt Jiang said happily: "That's good, the Second Young Madam's vision will definitely satisfy him."

The two talked for a while, and Aunt Jiang left first. Ye Jiayao asked her servants to help send Tianzhuang to Jiang's house.

Now the Jiang family has bought a house outside, not far from the Hou Mansion. Although it is only a small courtyard with two entrances, the home is not big or small, but it is warm and cozy.

When the room became quiet, Ye Jiayao asked Qiao Xi to make a pot of tea and sat in front of the desk to continue her gourmet guide.

This work started while he was imprisoned again, and it is out of control. Ye Jiayao has sorted out the cuisines of Northeastern, Shandong, and Sichuan cuisine, and there are still many more cuisines to sort out. When this food collection is completed, it will be the most detailed in history. The most comprehensive collection of recipes will become a milestone in the history of food culture.

This job is very rewarding.

"Hey... time flies so fast. Sister Jiang Yue is already married." Xiang Tao sighed softly from outside.

"What? You want to get married too?" Qiao Xi teased with a smile.

"I don't want to get married. In my whole life, I am ready to serve the second young mistress." Xiangtao curled her lips.

"Come on, if you marry him, won't you still be able to serve the second young mistress? Hey, what exactly does he mean? Why don't you mention it? How about I ask him for you?" Qiao Xi said with a smile.

Xiangtao said shyly: "I don't even know what you are talking about."

"Oh, you're still pretending to me. That's not the case, right? Okay, then I'll pretend that I don't know anything. Don't cry when the Second Young Mistress points you out to others." Qiao Xi put up her hands. Come on.

"Go, you're older than me. If I want to point you, I'll point it to you first," Xiang Tao said.

Ye Jiayao frowned, does this girl Xiang Tao have a sweetheart? Who? Why didn't she notice?

The hint in Qiao Xi's words clearly refers to the people in the Hou Mansion, otherwise he would not have said that he could still serve her.

Who on earth is it?

Ye Jiayao thought about it, and suddenly felt blessed. Could it be Song Qi...

Well, find a chance to ask Qiao Xi.

If it was really Song Qi, it would be a good marriage, and she would be happy to have it come true.

Just as he was thinking about it, someone came from outside to report that it was Cui Dongpeng who wanted to see him.

Before Qiao Xi came to deliver the message, Ye Jiayao put down her pen and walked out. She saw that there was a suspicious blush on Xiang Tao's face, which was clearly the shy look of a young girl in Huaichun.

An imperceptible smile flashed in Ye Jiayao's eyes.

The person who came to deliver the message was the maid from the outer courtyard. Ye Jiayao asked where she was and went straight to the front hall.

When Cui Dongpeng saw the Second Young Madam, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Second Young Madam, there is trouble in Heaven."

Ye Jiayao looked calm and sat down: "Speak slowly."

Cui Dongpeng said: "Before lunch today, a lot of beggars came outside Tianshangju. At first, we didn't pay attention and gave away steamed buns, but they still didn't leave. We advised them to go further away. They just sat at the door and lingered. No, no scolding, a group of people were in ragged clothes and smelled so bad that the guests were scared away. After lunch, the beggars left one after another, but now, it was almost dinner, and they came again , Second Young Mistress, depending on the situation, they clearly did it on purpose, maybe they were instigated by someone else, what do you think we should do?"

Ye Jiayao frowned, is there such a thing?

"Are they all locals? Is this the case in our Tiantianju, or are there other restaurants too?" Ye Jiayao asked.

Cui Dongpeng said: "There are local accents and there are also foreign accents. I don't know if this is the case in other families."

"Didn't they ask for anything?"

"We asked, but they didn't pay attention to anyone. They ate when they were given food, sat down when they were not given, and continued to sit after eating." Cui Dongpeng said depressedly.

Ye Jiayao thought for a while and said, "Go to other restaurants first to see if this is the case."

If so, could it be that there was a famine somewhere? In this era, communications were underdeveloped and news lagged behind. If it was because of a famine, then she would be willing to do good deeds.

If not, just to come to Tianshangju, then there is no doubt that this is a conspiracy against Tianshangju.

A bunch of beggars are sitting at the door. How can the guests still have appetite after seeing them? If it were her, she would definitely turn around and leave.

If you use beggars to influence Tianshangju's business, you can't beat or scold them. Once there is a conflict, those beggars might beat you up and say that Tianshangju bullies the weak.

This method is really disgusting and extremely destructive.

"Also, please ask brothers to pay attention. Where did these beggars go after they left? Who did they come into contact with?" Ye Jiayao ordered.

Originally, it would be easy to ask Master Jiu's people to handle this kind of matter, and let the gangsters deal with the beggars, but she didn't want to bother Master Jiu with everything.

If you report it to the government, the government can only drive them away. If they come back after driving them away, you have nothing to do. The law does not stipulate that beggars cannot beg in front of the restaurant, so you can't let the officers and soldiers guard the door of the restaurant! In this case, everyone thought that Tianshangju was going to be closed down!

Therefore, Ye Jiayao must first figure out what is going on, and then decide what to do.

Cui Dongpeng got the instruction and went to do it immediately.
