Ye Tingyao bowed deeply to the shopkeeper and Wenxiu, "Thank you for helping me out of the siege." ”

Xiao Shu and Li He looked at the stranger in front of them in surprise, it was still Wenxiu who was the smartest, put away the cowardice and panic when facing Lu Tianqi first, and stepped forward to face the strange woman's jaw, "Miss Lin Yao's disguise technique is good." ”

Ye Tingyao smiled awkwardly, couldn't help coughing, the stickiness of her throat made her breathless, and hurriedly drank a cup of tea, and the discomfort gradually disappeared.

After this time, Ye Tingyao was impressed by the shopkeeper An, not only can he disguise himself, but he even carries a pill that can temporarily change people's voices, it seems that the identity of the shopkeeper is not simple.

Shopkeeper An frowned and said, "Lin Yao, do you know the identity of that person?" It can be seen that he is not something we can provoke, and also, should we call you Lin Yao or Mo Yao. ”

Ye Tingyao pursed her lips, how should she answer? After all, her real name is neither Lin Yao nor Mo Yao, it's just that, anyway, the point is not here.

"You still call me Lin Yao, as for that person, I really didn't know his identity before......" Ye Tingyao's voice was very low, and when she ran to the first floor to find the shopkeeper to help, she didn't know that Lu Tianqi was so domineering.

Wen Xiu walked up to Ye Tingyao's side, "Miss Lin Yao, the first person is the prince of Prince Mu's mansion, and he is extremely favored, and it is rumored that in front of the emperor, he is even more faceless than the prince. ”

Ye Tingyao was stunned, no wonder Lu Tianqi would agree to help her open a restaurant, it turned out to be the prince of the prince's mansion, and he was really rich.

It's a pity that she has no conscience, and she doesn't want to be a pawn that others hold when they have use value and abandon it when they have no use value. Since Lu Tianqi thinks that he is a chess player, then don't think that she will work hard to open a restaurant for him, and he will enjoy the benefits.

Ye Tingyao pursed her lips, she would have to spend eight lifetimes of blood mold before she would have anything to do with him again.

Shopkeeper An shook his head, "That's it, Miss Lin Yao, come here." ”

In front of Wenxiu and the others, there were some things that he couldn't ask, so he took Ye Tingyao out of the tea room and went to the private room.

Before the shopkeeper could speak, Ye Tingyao first took off the human skin mask underneath and asked worriedly, "Shopkeeper, this, could this really be ......?"

She didn't have time to think about it just now, she was directly blindfolded, which would be pinched in her hand, and the soft touch made her have layers of goosebumps.

Shopkeeper An glared at Ye Tingyao, "Now you know that you're afraid?" Rest assured, it's not 'human skin'. ”

Ye Tingyao sighed, this human skin mask is really realistic, and it is very thin, it will not be stuffy when covered on the face, it is really a good thing.

Ye Tingyao licked her tongue and asked cheekily, "Shopkeeper, can you give me this mask." ”

"Do you know how long it takes a top craftsman to make this mask?" Shopkeeper An looked helpless.

Ye Tingyao shook her head blankly.

Shopkeeper Ann stretched out three fingers.

"Three months?"

"No, three whole years."

"Poof......

Ye Tingyao hurriedly returned the mask to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper waved his hand, "That's it, for the sake of Cheng Gong's order for the old man to take care of you, and you will be the old man's partner in the future, I will give it to you, today the prince has not seen the real you, I am afraid that he will not give up, you can use it." ”

"Thank you so much to Shopkeeper An, the great kindness and virtue of Shopkeeper Ann are unforgettable."

"Forget it, the old man has doubts. Miss Lin Yao, you came to the old man before, saying that you had offended the prince, and it would be dangerous to be recognized by him in person. But the old man secretly observed the love and actions of the prince first, he and you may not have a grudge, but a relationship, you had better explain to the old man truthfully, otherwise the old man will not guarantee to help you a second time. He is the prince of the prince's mansion, and he is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and the people do not fight with the officials, and Miss Lin knows it. ”

Ye Tingyao's expression was depressed, and Lu Tianqi's appearance would always disturb her plans and mood. She felt the expectation in Lu Tianqi's heart just now, and after discovering that she had recognized the wrong person, Lu Tianqi's expectation turned into loneliness when she was disappointed, which also surprised Ye Tingyao.

"It's wrong to deceive the shopkeeper, it's Lin Yao," Ye Tingyao sighed, "The shopkeeper knows that I am from Lianzhou County, and he should also know that Lu Tianqi went to Lianzhou County to investigate the theft of tribute." ”

Shopkeeper An frowned slightly, "The old man knows that the prince has captured Prince Jing and made a great contribution. ”

Ye Tingyao briefly said what had happened in Lizhuang Village, and then continued, "...... He didn't have affection for me, but he was used to eating the food I cooked, and he wanted to arrest me and go back to be the cook of Prince Mu's mansion. ”

Shopkeeper An was a little speechless, could it be that Lin Yao really thought that the prince was so impulsive just to catch a cook?

It's just that he doesn't bother to get involved in the affairs of young people, especially since the other party is still a strange-tempered prince. Ann said, "Shame on the ungrateful indeed. ”

Ye Tingyao's eyes lit up, she praised the shopkeeper An's ungrateful evaluation of Lu Tianqi, "By the way, please also ask the shopkeeper An to make sure that the apprentice who learns to make pastries with the little girl, the little girl will temporarily leave the teahouse before the sixteenth day of the next month, isn't the little girl's hand just 'burned', so she simply let the words out, during this time, the little girl only teaches the disciples to make pastries, and teaches Wenxiu to order tea." ”

Ye Tingyao overheard Lu Tianqi's conversation with others in the private room, and the Ye family will hold a banquet next month, which is a good time for her to wait. went back before the banquet, and said that they wanted to prepare for the banquet, and Cao and the others would try their best to figure out how to dress up that day, and they couldn't find the time to ignore her.

"In such a hurry?"

Ye Tingyao said, "I'm sorry to trouble Shopkeeper An, the little girl will try to write a pastry recipe and hand it to Shopkeeper An." ”

"Okay, tomorrow we will press the handprint and sign the death deed, Miss Lin Yao can also come to find the old man if she needs help, and the old man will do his best."

Ye Tingyao thanked the shopkeeper and left the private room. Shopkeeper An looked at Ye Tingyao's back and closed his eyes slightly, and after a while, he called a servant who was doing chores in the back to come in.

Shopkeeper Ann tapped his fingers on the table, "You follow her to find out who she is, and if she is in danger, you can protect her." ”

The servant whispered in response, and disappeared from the world's sight in the blink of an eye......

In the past few days, Dumb has had a lot of fun, and likes to stop on Ye Tingyao's shoulder, while swaying, he stretched out his beak and gently pecked the fake face on Ye Tingyao's face, and he had to peck out the fake face with fine lines.

Ye Tingyao was worried that Lu Tianqi would suddenly attack, so he had been wearing a human skin mask since he wiped his face in the morning.

"Dumb, stop making trouble." Ye Tingyao hugged Dumb off her shoulder, she was instructing Wenxiu to order tea, it didn't matter if Dumb was on the side, but it wouldn't be distracted by Wenxiu.

"Hey." Wen Xiu sighed and put the bamboo tip on the saucer, looked at the golden tea paste scattered in the tea soup, and said discouragedly, "No, Miss Lin Yao, my hands are not stable enough, I don't have painting skills, and this bowl of tea soup has made me break it again." ”

"There has been progress, Wenxiu, don't be discouraged, if you have time to go home at night, copy more paintings, especially outlines, and practice can make perfect with continuous practice, in fact, painting on tea paste is the most taboo and complicated, just a few strokes, the important thing is to paint the shape rather than the drawing." Ye Tingyao said patiently, although she hoped that the three of them would learn as much as possible, but she also knew that the art of ordering tea could not be achieved overnight, it was herself, and she only achieved a little success after practicing for half a year.

"Miss Lin, are you really going to leave in five days?" Li He leaned over to Wenxiu's side, looked at Ye Tingyao and said reluctantly.

Five days later, it was the fourteenth day of the first month, and the banquet held by Ye Mansion was on the sixteenth day of the first month, Ye Tingyao counted the days, and it was more appropriate to return to the house two days before the banquet.

Ye Tingyao nodded at Li He, because he was covering his fake face, his expression was slightly stiff, "Although I don't do anything in the teahouse anymore, I will come back to see you every once in a while, and I will check if you have practiced diligently." ”

"Diligent practice is a must, and Xiao Shu and I have made a lot of progress in the past few days." Li He was quite proud, "Come on, Wenxiu, I'll teach you, it should be ...... here"

'Smack'! Wen Xiu slammed the tea bowl on the tea table, and glared at Li He with a cold face, "Stay away from me, Miss Lin Yao taught me, do you need you to point fingers next to me, why, do you want to show off in front of me that you have learned the art of ordering tea faster than me, and you order better than me?" Half a bucket of water is also embarrassed to sway. ”

Li He's face turned red with shame, and he muttered in a low voice, "I'm also kind, the dog bites Lu Dongbin." ”

Li He said as he moved to the side, but his eyes couldn't stop glancing at Wenxiu.

"Hmph, even if it's a dog, it's Lu Dongbin who bites, what are you?" The more Wen Xiu looked at Li He, the more unpleasant she became, her temper had improved these days, and Li He had always taken advantage of her.

Ye Tingyao hurriedly cleared the siege, she had already seen that Li He was interested in Wenxiu, in fact, the two were quite a good match, but it was a pity that Wenxiu didn't understand the amorous style at all.

"Sister Lin Yao, help me see how much sugar I need to add to the pear crisp." A young boy with delicate eyebrows stood at the door of the tea room and shouted at Ye Tingyao.

Xiao Tong is the nephew of Shopkeeper An, named Anshuang, only thirteen years old, he has no parents since he was a child, and he was raised by Shopkeeper An, and Shopkeeper An chose him to follow Ye Tingyao to learn to make pastries.

"Okay, I'll do it." Ye Tingyao stood up and didn't forget to tell Wenxiu and the three of them, "You can learn from each other and guide each other to make faster progress." ”

After that, Ye Tingyao glanced at Li He and sighed that she could only help here.

Ye Tingyao followed An Shuang to the small kitchen of the teahouse, today Ye Tingyao taught An Shuang to make fragrant pear crisp.

The practice of fragrant pear crisp is very exquisite, the puff pastry with a single outer layer must be made with pear juice instead of water, and the mixture of dried milk and flour is made, and the filling inside, Ye Tingyao also mixed winter melon in order to increase the taste. The trick of mixing winter melon can be called a secret skill, and the shopkeeper An is very satisfied with Ye Tingyao's teaching.

"Xiaoshuang, this is the recipe I just wrote yesterday, and there are ten kinds of pastries that I taught you to make a few days ago."

"Thank you, Sister Lin Yao." An Shuang's eyes were shining, he never thought that he could be so creative and learn cooking skills from such a powerful sister. Uncle also said that when he finishes his studies, he will open a pastry shop for him, and he will become a chef, so that he can also be worthy of his parents under Jiuquan.

"Miss Lin." Shopkeeper Ann walked into the kitchen with a smile.

"Uncle." An Shuang hurriedly saluted the shopkeeper An.

Ye Tingyao smiled at the shopkeeper, "Xiaoshuang's fragrant pear crisp is almost ready, let's try it together." ”

"Okay, with your teacher, Xiaoshuang must be fine." Saying that, Shopkeeper An took out two silver tickets from his sleeve cage and handed them to Ye Tingyao, "Miss Lin, this is one thousand taels of silver tickets, of which five hundred taels is half of the income from the teahouse's pastries, and the other five hundred taels are the wages you made and ordered tea before, as well as the wages for teaching Wenxiu their tea-ordering skills." ”

Ye Tingyao only took a piece of five hundred taels, "Shopkeeper An, teach Wenxiu that they are my own volition, and I can't accept this money." ”

"Take it, I don't know if you'll come back once a few days after you leave, remember to tell us the address when you're settled." After that, the shopkeeper ordered An Shuang to stuff the money into Ye Tingyao's hand, and left the kitchen with a smile, "I'll come over when the pastries are baked in a while!" ”

……

Five days passed in a blink of an eye, Ye Tingyao put away the things, sat in front of the bronze mirror of the inn with Dumb in his arms, and carefully painted on his cheeks, in addition to the scars, the pockmarks could not be forgotten......

Ye Fu, after seven months, she is going back. (To be continued.) )
