Sure enough, not long after I arrived in the kitchen, Liu Qianqian make complaints about it. "At the beginning, my cousin and my brother-in-law were unmarried women. I didn't know why. I fell in love with the same man with my cousin. Bai Qi said he liked both me and my cousin. Later, he tangled for a long time and chose my cousin because my cousin was older. I don't hate marriage. Hum, fancy radish!"
Ye Xiaoxian just straightened out the relationship between them. Otherwise, she thought Liu Qianqian wanted to be a third party.
I've always misunderstood Liu Qianqian.
She couldn't help hugging Liu Qianqian's shoulder and said, "your cousin's brother-in-law can like two women at the same time, which means that he can't raise the flag, because no matter which one he finally chooses, someone will get hurt in the end. If he was firm at the beginning, there won't be so many things behind. In the final analysis, you are the one who gets hurt."
Ye Xiaoxian put it mildly. In modern times, she would say that Bai Qi is a scum man.
"I know!" Liu Qianqian, who has always been optimistic and talkative, is suddenly silent and silently helps Ye Xiaoxian choose vegetables and leaves.
……
Ye Xiaoxian cooked four dishes this time.
Unlike the dishes sold in the restaurant, what she did this time was all related to the wedding banquet, such as the first auspicious dish, which was made of five kinds of meat. The second course is the prosperity of flowers, a flower carved chicken, the third course is the Eight Immortals crossing the sea boiled with cashew nuts and broad beans, and the fourth course is steamed rice noodles for a long time.
It took an hour for these cauliflower to be ready and finally brought to Fang Shanding.
Looking at such a beautiful dish, Fang Shanding couldn't help asking Bai Qi: "how many dishes have you changed? It's only done at the wedding banquet. But even if it's a wedding banquet, it has to be done by a cook in the capital. So, have you found a treasure? Which cook in the capital went back to his hometown to live in seclusion or fled here?"
Bai Qi's dregs are dregs, but his social skills are still good. He didn't answer this question. He only said to Fang Shanding, "try them first. If you feel delicious, I'll introduce the cook to you and ask her to make a full moon banquet for your son."
"Really?" Fang Shanding quickly picked up the food on it and ate it.
Not only good-looking, but also very delicious. It tastes very good. Fang Shanding tasted everything and praised everything.
After tasting the four dishes, Fang Shanding said, "brother Bai, I have got such a son for more than thirty years. You must introduce me. I want the cook to make a full moon banquet for my son and let me show it off!"
So Bai Qi asked someone to call ye Xiaoxian out.
Fang Shanding was stunned when he saw Ye Xiaoxian: "is it you?"
Ye Xiaoxian saluted Fang Shanding and said with a smile, "I've seen you, sir. I'm Ye Xiaoxian, the cook of Xiao's delicious food. I made these dishes you just tasted."
Fang Shanding couldn't help looking at Bai Qi and felt that he had been trapped.
Bai Qi quickly explained: "brother Fang, I didn't fool you. This little cook Ye is my cousin's friend. My cousin asked me to introduce her, but I can't refuse. Besides, what are you going to do about your son's full moon banquet? Since her dishes can make you face, why don't you ask her to cook the dishes for the full moon banquet?"
Fang Shanding was not stupid either. He just looked at Ye Xiaoxian and said, "you must have conditions? Is that the tax problem?"
Ye Xiaoxian was neither humble nor haughty and said, "my Lord, my small restaurant is really a small business and has no profit. The tax money of two liang silver a month is already the limit. If you increase the tax, I'm afraid it won't last."
"How much do you charge for this full moon banquet?" Fang Shanding asked again.
"I'll make a list of ingredients for you. If you let people purchase, I promise I won't charge a penny difference. As for me, I only charge some hard money, just one or two silver. Do you think it's ok?" Ye Xiaoxian felt that since she wanted to be smooth, she should be smooth to the end.
Fang Shanding saw that ye Xiaoxian was sincere. Besides, she cooked good dishes. If you invite other famous chefs for such a table, you must be unable to take three liang of silver. "Well, then I'll send someone to inform you. As for the tax of your restaurant, it's the same as before, two liang of silver a month."
"Thank you, Lord Fang!"
……
On the way back, Liu Qianqian sent Ye Xiaoxian back with his carriage.
In the car, ye Xiaoxian was in a good mood. After all, she solved another problem, but Liu Qianqian was very silent.
She didn't speak, just stared out of the window silently.
Ye Xiaoxian guessed that Liu Qianqian was so silent because he came to see Bai Qi.
Some people, he may not be excellent, not necessarily good, but also particularly dregs, but once he loves, he will be unforgettable. After all, not everyone can regard his predecessor as an enemy. People who regard their predecessors as enemies must also be painful. How blind were they to see such a person?
When the car was almost at the restaurant, Liu Qianqian suddenly turned around and breathed a long sigh: "well, from tomorrow on, I'll ask my father to arrange a blind date for me."
Ye Xiaoxian: "
"Leaf, how are you and your big husband? Have you made progress in your relationship? Has the big man shown a good impression on you? Have you two roomed together?"
Ye Xiaoxian didn't want to stab and excite Liu Qianqian. She said, "I have a good impression. Alas, that's it. I haven't had a roommate yet."
"Haven't you shared a room yet? You two don't hurry up."
"I don't have that mind. There are many things in the restaurant. You see, I have to prepare a full moon banquet for Lord Fang after a while. I'm very busy."
When the restaurant arrived, ye Xiaoxian got off, and Liu Qianqian also took a carriage home alone.
When ye Xiaoxian returned to the gate of the restaurant, she was relieved.
For himself and for Liu Qianqian.
……
Yamen gate.
After the weather gets cold, it's not like summer. So many people gather here to enjoy the cool every day.
But Xun Wenda, Xiao iron tree and Xiao copper tree are still here.
Xun Wenda patrolled around the "Xiao family food" today and found that the restaurant was well opened and everything was as usual.
Xun Wenda wondered.
Would ye Xiaoxian rather pay six liang of silver a month than continue the restaurant?
Shouldn't she be decadent?
He went to the tax official again and tentatively asked the tax official's little assistant whether to increase the tax on the "Xiao family food", but the little assistant was unwilling to answer this question and asked Xun Wenda not to ask. There was no small soap service in the tax round, and asked him to do whatever he should do.
Xun Wenda had to walk away.
Now, when Xun Wenda saw that Xiao Tieshu and Xiao Tietong were resting under the tree, he went to inquire about the situation: "iron tree, copper tree, the restaurant opened by your two rooms, didn't you increase the tax?"
