Chapter 178: The County Lord (Two Chapters in One)
Three days later, Ye Tingyao received news from Mo Dongzi, saying that the small restaurant had been cleaned and the manpower had been arranged.
The night is getting deeper, the moonlight shines through the window, sprinkling a clear light in the wing, Ye Tingyao is lying in front of the bookcase and carefully writing recipes, she will naturally be free tomorrow.
She is very relieved that she is mainly inspecting the two brothers who want to be first-class cooks, if they have to use it, the salary will naturally not be less, and she will hand over the recipes to them, and the two brothers will pick the kitchen beams, but Dongzi has to sign a long contract with the two brothers, unless the restaurant closes down, otherwise the two brothers are not allowed to resign within five years.
"Miss, the eldest young master is outside the house, can you come in?" Qinghe saw that Ye Tingyao was engrossed and didn't know what he was doing, and he didn't dare to speak loudly, so he only asked in a low voice.
Ye Tingyao nodded, closed the recipe with his hand, got up and walked to the outer compartment, seeing Ye Chen with a smile on his face, Ye Tingyao also asked happily, "Brother, why do you come here now, but what is good?" ”
Ye Chen raised his hand, and a copper key with a glowing light hung on his index finger and dangled, "Yaoyao, that poisonous woman handed me the key to the last warehouse in the West Courtyard." ”
Ye Tingyao's eyes lit up, "Brother is so powerful, how did you do it." ”
"If she doesn't hand over the key for a day, Ye Hao won't be able to go back to the academy for a day, isn't it good now, Ye Hao will return to the academy tomorrow." Ye Chen had already pinched Cao's weakness, "Yaoyao, let's get up early tomorrow and go to the treasury of the West Courtyard together to count my mother's dowry." ”
Ye Tingyao scratched her head, quite embarrassed, "Brother, I'll go to the house again tomorrow morning." ”
Ye Chen frowned, he was a little suspicious when he saw Ye Tingyao not being home for two days in a row, but fortunately, he was at peace again in these three days, so he didn't ask more, "Yaoyao, what's the matter with going out of the house tomorrow." Is it possible to go to Dongshi to watch a hundred operas again? ”
Ye Tingyao smiled and said quite weakly, "No, what's that." I made an appointment with Qingya. ”
"Okay, then I'll try the key first, Yaoyao don't forget the time, come back early." Ye Chen rubbed Ye Tingyao's head, and frowned slightly as he turned to leave......
The next day, Ye Tingyao only took Qinghe to the small restaurant. Before the carriage left the workshop, there was a nightingale crying outside, Ye Tingyao pushed the window of the carriage a little, and soon received a small note, 'Someone is following, it has been resolved'.
Ye Tingyao stuck his head out of the window, poked out, and vaguely saw a carriage parked crookedly not far away, and the wheels of the carriage were split in half, worthy of Yan Tuo. It's a great skill.
Ye Tingyao didn't bother to think about who was following her. When she arrived at the riverside restaurant, Ye Tingyao knew that Mo Dongzi had slept in the restaurant for the past two days, and Xiaoyue also came over early every morning to help, and rushed back to the southern suburbs when the market was closed.
Ye Tingyao is very grateful to the brother and sister, and is also very satisfied with the layout of the restaurant.
Mo Dongzi brought the two brothers who were cooking to Ye Tingyao and introduced, "Yaoyao, this is the Ruan family brothers I told you, Ruan Dalang and Ruan Erlang, there are already dishes prepared in the kitchen. Yaoyao can test them later. ”
When the Ruan brothers were invited by Mo Dongzi, they heard Mo Dongzi say that the real shopkeeper is someone else, and the owner is the real chef. They thought it was a master. When they met, they realized that it was such a delicate official lady, and the two brothers looked at each other suspiciously, quite incredulous.
The two brothers looked very sincere, Ye Tingyao nodded at the two of them, and said with a smile, "I'll trouble you to fry three or two dishes in a while." I'll try the taste first, I can't go to the restaurant every day, the restaurant kitchen still has to rely on you on weekdays, although you are set as a first-class cook, but the actual salary, we will pay all according to the chef. ”
Although the two brothers were not very convinced by Ye Tingyao, they also agreed with their jaws, and Mo Dongzi took the two to the kitchen and went back to the private room to find Ye Tingyao.
Mo Dongzi took out a document and handed it to Ye Tingyao, and said embarrassedly, "Yaoyao, you leave the entire restaurant to me to take care of, I know Yaoyao You trust me, and I will try my best not to disappoint Yaoyao, but I always feel a little awkward in my heart, I thought about it, I still went to find Mr. Ming yesterday and asked him to help me redraft a document, Yaoyao to see if it is appropriate." ”
Ye Tingyao took the document suspiciously, and saw that it was noted that the real shopkeeper of this restaurant was her, and Mo Dongzi and Mo Xiaoyue were both employed by Ye Tingyao and were not allowed to participate in the sharing of the restaurant's revenue.
Ye Tingyao glared at Mo Dongzi, shook his head and said, "Brother Dongzi, Xiaoyue, even if you want to draft documents, it shouldn't be like this, you and I are not in an employment relationship, we opened this restaurant together, and now you are all contributing, how can you not be qualified to participate in the revenue sharing of the restaurant." ”
Mo Dongzi hurriedly shook his head, "Yaoyao, don't say that, the money is from you, and you will make the dishes in the future, where do we have to make much effort." ”
Ye Tingyao turned her head and instructed Xiao Yue to take the pen and ink, "Okay, that's it, otherwise I will have a disturbed conscience." Ye Tingyao took the pen and ink and directly rewrote the paperwork, dried it and handed it to Xiao Yue, Xiao Yue learned to settle accounts and knew a lot of words, and was stunned when she saw the paperwork, "Yao, Sister Yao, this is too much, you have to change it again." ”
"It's not much, do you remember when you were in Lizhuang Village, Lu Tianqi proposed the conditions for opening a pastry shop?" Ye Tingyao muttered while pressing the handprint on the paperwork, "He said that three seven open, he seven and I three, isn't this exploitative, and he only gives out money and doesn't do anything, so this time to open a restaurant, since we have the ability, we must not bring him, otherwise he will sit on the side and enjoy the results, okay, Brother Dongzi, Xiaoyue, you will also press the handprint." ”
The document clearly states that the Mo family brothers and sisters are the same restaurant shopkeepers as her, and the Mo family brothers and sisters can get fifty percent of the hotel's income.
Mo Dongzi and Xiao Yue still refused, Ye Tingyao took advantage of Xiao Yue's lack of attention, directly grabbed Xiao Yue's hand, and pressed the handprint on the paperwork, Ye Tingyao smiled at Mo Dongzi and smiled, "Xiao Yue's handprint is already on the paperwork, if you don't press it, Xiao Yue will be your owner in the future." ”
Mo Dongzi looked at the frightened Xiaoyue in a daze, and said helplessly, "Yaoyao, will it be too much, or Twenty-eight, it is enough for me and Xiaoyue to divide into two achievements." ”
"Alright, stop grinding." Ye Tingyao impatiently wanted to catch Mo Dongzi's hand, Mo Dongzi hid his hand behind him in embarrassment, Ye Tingyao was amused, and put the paperwork in front of Mo Dongzi, "Brother Dongzi, don't make trouble, the handprint is pressed, let's go to the kitchen to try the kitchen of the Ruan brothers." ”
Mo Dongzi pursed his lips. I finally made up my mind and pressed my handprint on the paperwork.
When Ye Tingyao and the others arrived in the kitchen, the Ruan brothers were serving out the last dish.
Ye Tingyao stepped forward, a total of three dishes. Sauce fried diced pork, original silver carp, cabbage stewed tofu, all made decent, Xiaoyue handed the food chopsticks and bowls and spoons to Ye Tingyao, Ye Tingyao tasted a bite of each dish, and the taste was good. It's not worse than the dishes she ate in Wanfu Building before.
Ye Tingyao said, "Very good, the cooking skills can already be compared with the first-class chefs of the four major restaurants, but we can't be satisfied with this, we must make the dishes taste better, surpassing the four major restaurants." ”
Ruan Erlang pouted and said, "It's easy to say, the chefs of the four major restaurants are all the top in the capital, and the chefs of Wanfulou are even former imperial chefs, and we ordinary people can't even taste their cooking skills." How can we go beyond it? ”
Xiao Yue glared at Ruan Erlang, "The chefs of the four major restaurants are great, and the imperial chefs are great, and the princes of Prince Mu's mansion all praise Sister Yao's dishes are far better than those in the palace." ”
The Ruan family brothers looked at Ye Tingyao suspiciously, Ye Tingyao patted Xiaoyue on the shoulder, and said generously, "It's okay, it's normal for Ruan Dalang and Ruan Erlang not to believe it." ”
Ye Tingyao walked directly to the stove, looked at what ingredients were left, and directly rolled up her sleeves and worked in front of the stove. The Ruan brothers were still absent-minded, but after a while, their eyes straightened, and they were first shocked by Ye Tingyao's quick invisible knife work, and then they were impressed by Ye Tingyao's skillful techniques such as seasoning and stir-frying.
It's just a cup of tea. A plate of spicy chicken rolls came out of the pot, it was a dish that the Ruan brothers had never seen, Ye Tingyao generously served it to the Ruan brothers, "Try it." ”
Xiao Yue and Dongzi were also rushing to eat, and Ye Tingyao smiled and asked, "How?" ”
Satsuki spicy straight mouth to find water to drink. Obviously not good at eating spicy food, but it was too fragrant, she was reluctant to stop the chopsticks, the Ruan brothers put the porcelain plate with only red pepper left on the stove, and arched their hands, "We admire the cooking skills of the shopkeeper Ye, and the two of us brothers are convinced to be the chef of the shopkeeper Ye." ”
Mo Dongzi said beside him, "You do it well, Shopkeeper Ye said, as long as you are attentive, she will teach you cooking." ”
The Ruan brothers' eyes lit up, "The shopkeeper and Brother Dongzi can rest assured." ”
Mo Dongzi planned to open the day after tomorrow, Ye Tingyao invited the Ruan brothers to discuss with them in the private room, and decided that on the day of the opening, except for Ye Tingyao, the rest of the people brought Ye Tingyao's own pastries and some dishes to the East Market to invite people to try them, and first opened the market, Ye Tingyao also handed over the recipe written last night to the Ruan brothers.
The Ruan brothers got the recipe as if they had received a treasure, and thanked Ye Tingyao again and again.
Ye Tingyao said, "There are only ten dishes in it for the time being, although it is written in detail, but you still need a lot of practice to master, and then I will teach you other dishes one after another, and when the time comes, I will pick your most popular as our signature dish, if there are important guests coming, I can take charge of the spoon, you can study the side, help me get started." ”
The Ruan brothers responded in unison, and after several people checked some details of the opening the day after tomorrow in detail, Ye Tingyao said goodbye and left first, she thought that while it was still early, she would go to Dongshi to buy a box of crispy fish for Dumb, and then look for her brother to get the key after returning home, and she went to the warehouse to have a look.
When Yefu's carriage had just entered Dongshi, he was about to find a place to stop, when he was suddenly stopped.
Ye Tingyao lifted the curtain of the car, "What's wrong?" ”
The coachman trembled and didn't dare to speak, and a maid in Chinese clothes who stopped the car pointed at Ye Tingyao and said, "Our Ruping County is looking for you, why don't you come down quickly." ”
Ye Tingyao's eyebrows frowned slightly, she didn't seem to know any Ruping County Lord, Ye Tingyao looked behind the maid, and saw a girl with a long face, handsome appearance, a single snail bun, dressed in a streamer brocade, and a girl of the same size as her was surrounded by three maids, staring at her with a cold face.
At a glance, he knew that it was not a good stubble, Ye Tingyao sighed helplessly, reluctantly got out of the carriage, and blessed the county lord, "I don't know what happened to the county lord of Ruping looking for the little girl." ”
The county lord took two steps forward, raised his hand and pointed at Ye Tingyao's nose, quite arrogant, "You are Ye Tingyao, the eldest daughter of Ye Lang?" ”
Ye Tingyao nodded, "It's the little girl." ”
The county lord of Ruping slowly walked around Ye Tingyao twice, looked at Ye Tingyao with a sneer, and sneered, "You look like a fox, I heard that Prince Mu has taken a fancy to you and wants to accept you as Brother Tianqi's side concubine?" ”
Ye Tingyao understood, it seemed that she was one of Lu Tianqi's fanatical suitors, but how could the news of Prince Mu's intention to accept her as a side concubine get out? It is estimated that there is something strange about this matter, and most of it was not done by Prince and Princess Mu.
Ye Tingyao pursed her lips and said, "I'm afraid the county lord has misunderstood, Prince Mu and Princess Mu visited the Ye Mansion a few days ago, but she definitely didn't fancy the little girl, and it is impossible to accept the little girl as the side concubine of the prince." ”
"Really?" Lord Ruping squinted, it was a pure coincidence that she was able to stop Ye Tingyao today, but since she knew yesterday that Ye Tingyao might be Brother Tianqi's side concubine, she couldn't sit still, even if she didn't meet Ye Tingyao now, she would rush directly to Ye Mansion, so that Ye Tingyao would retreat in spite of the difficulties, if Ye Tingyao must pester Brother Tianqi, she would never be soft.
Hearing the other party's rhetorical question, Ye Tingyao knew even more in her heart, sure enough, it was not the princess who passed it out, the palace couldn't afford to lose this face, Ye Tingyao smiled calmly, "Naturally it's true, how dare the little girl deceive the county lord, if the county lord doesn't believe it, she can go and ask the princess directly." The little girl didn't know who spread the rumors in front of the county lord, in fact, the county lord thought about it himself, how could the princess and the prince look down on me, I was not worthy of being the side concubine of the prince at all. ”
"Even if you have self-knowledge, what did Prince Mu and Princess Mu do when she went to Yefu that day."
Ye Tingyao said with a smile, "The princess happened to taste the pastry I made one day, and she thought it was delicious, so it was reasonable for the princess to send a maid over casually, but the princess was very respectful, and personally went to the Ye Mansion to find the recipe for the pastry from the little girl." ”
"So you know how to make pastries." Lord Ruping's eyes rolled, "You will also write a copy of the recipe in detail and send it to the Eldest Princess's Mansion tomorrow." The lord of Ruping pondered, since the princess likes to eat the pastries made by Ye Tingyao, then she will learn according to the recipe, can she please the princess.
"Yes, County Lord." Ye Tingyao rolled her eyes, and in order to get rid of the Lord of Ruping, she had to respond.
"Okay, let's go." The county lord of Ruping waved her hand, although she temporarily believed Ye Tingyao's words, she still planned to ask the princess again, if Ye Tingyao dared to lie to her, she would not only make Ye Tingyao unable to be a side concubine, but also make Ye Tingyao unable to live in the capital.
Ye Tingyao bowed to the lord of Ruping County and returned to the carriage, when she encountered this incident, she was in no mood to buy crispy fish, this Lu Tianqi was really a 'red face' disaster, and it was a disaster for her innocent...... (To be continued.) )
