"Young master, is this girl difficult?" Chu Yi said in a daze.

Pei Yan nodded, his dark eyes seemed to flicker with something, "Let people check on this mother and daughter, don't let them have a good time." ”

"Yes, young master." A little bit at first.

On the other side, Qiao You hurriedly began to get busy when the pilgrims came, and I don't know what happened today, but it didn't take long for many people to order something from her strange recipe.

"Miss Joe, add another cup of that kumquat lemon." A shopkeeper came in from outside and shouted at Qiao You.

Qiao Youying responded, and the young man next to him immediately started to help.

The whole kitchen called her Miss Qiao, although according to the rules she should be called a chef, but this fourteen-year-old girl was called this by such a young man, which really made her a little unbearable.

It was almost afternoon when the pilgrims gradually left.

The shopkeeper returned to the back kitchen sweating profusely with a plate of vegetables, only to feel that his tired hands and feet were not the same, "Oh, I said, I don't know what's wrong today, those guests still pull me to ask questions when they order, and it's all about Miss Qiao!" ”

Speaking of which, Qiao You's name can be regarded as spreading throughout Yecheng, she is still a peasant girl at a young age, and she can defeat Xu Sixiao, not to mention, and she has the stomach to cook with Xu Sixiao in the pilgrims.

It's really not the kind of energy that many people can have.

As soon as the people in the back kitchen heard this, they immediately became interested, and three or two cooks curiously gathered around and asked, "What are you asking, tell us about it." "The rags in the hands of several people have not been thrown down.

The shopkeeper glanced at Qiao You, and was relieved to see her helpless.

"Just ask Miss Qiao where she is, whether she looks good or something, and I don't know anything else?" The shopkeeper scratched the back of his head, looking dazed.

The atmosphere in the back kitchen is very happy, one of the two chefs is a rough man, and the other is a beautiful and talkative little girl, which is naturally much more relaxed than before.

It was not yet evening this afternoon, there were not many people, Xu Sixiao pulled Qiao You and asked her about those exotic recipes, she was annoyed, so she directly found a piece of paper and wrote a few to him.

Looking at a certain man wielding a spatula and scooping a spoon, Qiao You only felt that he couldn't cry or laugh, if there was really a person in this world who was obsessed with cooking and couldn't extricate himself, this Xu Sixiao recognized the second, and she wouldn't dare to live with him.

The backyard where pilgrims come has a place to rest, which is a cold and elegant place, and as a golden sign here, Qiao You naturally has his own place.

It's just that she still entered the room inside, and what greeted her was a man in a long robe pacing, a folding fan in his hand dangling slowly in front of him, giving people a feeling of frivolity in today's not hot and dry weather.

She took two steps back, and her tone was indifferent, "Yuan Gongzi." ”

The young man put away the folding fan in his hand, raised his eyebrows and stared at the little girl in front of him who didn't say much, and smiled, "Sister Qiao, how are you doing with me?" ”

As soon as he heard this title, Qiao You subconsciously frowned, and looked at the young man in front of him uncomfortably, even if he was dissatisfied in his heart, he could only endure it, "Childe, it's really not safe for you to call me like this." ”

There's no way, who is the young master of a rich family, or the young owner of this pilgrim, the boss who gives her silver?

Sure enough, the saying that people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads still makes sense.

"It's not safe somewhere." Yuan Ziyi didn't feel anything, as the young master of the Yuan family, he has been in the limelight since he was a child, of course, he is also a talented person in both civil and military affairs, in Ye Cheng, not many people will be stupid enough to accuse him.

"You are only fourteen years old, and I myself am nineteen, so it is not natural to call you Sister Qiao." He said to himself, and between his words, his attitude was more natural than the last time.

The corners of Qiao You's mouth twitched, how awkward the title of Sister Qiao sounded, besides, when it came out of his mouth, there was always an indescribable sense of frivolity.

"If you like it, if you like it."

Because of the identity of the person in front of her, she had to respond temporarily, there was no way, she still had to rely on her current job to live.

Although she has such good cooking skills, there is no one else in this Ye City, and she will be willing to give three hundred taels of silver to a cook.

As long as the first month's monthly silver comes down. Even if Qiao Youfu's tavern in the east of the city couldn't be redeemed, she could still find another place to rent a restaurant or something.

"Sister Qiao, in fact, I have always had a question, I don't know if there is a chance to ask you to answer it for me."

Yuan Ziyi half-squinted his eyes and looked at her unpleasantly.

Qiao You paused, raised his eyes and whispered, "Yuan Gongzi, please speak." Although, she could probably guess what the man was trying to ask.

"I'm just thinking, how can a girl from the countryside know such cooking skills, with all due respect, your identity is really worrying."

Their Yuan family is not a good person, and although the Yuan family's own family is not in the imperial city, it can be regarded as a rich party, even if it is an ordinary official eunuch, they have to let them have three points.

So, he had to pay attention to it.

Yuan Ziyi also asked people to investigate, but the final results did not reassure him.

This Qiao You heard that there is a stepmother, but a few days ago they divorced, I heard that it was this stepmother who often beat and scolded her, and then somehow, it suddenly broke out, and even the stepmother was not afraid.

Qiao You, this Yuan Ziyi really wanted to ask this, "Childe, I said that I am from Qiaojia Village, I believe you have also investigated." She replied unhurriedly.

Yuan Ziyi smiled softly, there are some things, the effect in front of him seems to be more transparent than him.

"It's a pity, I can't always put my mind at ease." He said casually.

Hearing his words, Qiao You only felt as if he was threatened, and Yuan Ziyi said that he was afraid that there was some purpose, "Then I can't help it, Yuan Gongzi kicked me out with an injection, so you can rest assured." ”

"You girl, why are you so ......?"

Before he finished speaking, a beautiful girl rushed in from outside the courtyard, wearing a pink and white dress, her hair combed into a moon-watching bun, and a little maid by her side.

If she didn't guess wrong, this woman should be Xia Ziyan, the cousin of Yuan Ziyi's childhood sweetheart, who was rumored to be the same as this.

"Cousin, you're really here." Xia Ziyan grabbed Yuan Ziyi's arm and stood next to him in a very intimate manner.

Seeing the person, Yuan Ziyi only felt that he didn't have time to hide, this girl was the most clingy.

"You, why are you here?" He wanted to tear Xia Ziyan's hand off, but she was too tight.

Xia Ziyan smiled softly, "I miss you." Regardless of Yuan Ziyi's resistance, her whole body was almost attached to his body, and her beautiful apricot eyes looked at Qiao You next to her, and her face suddenly changed.

Qiao You lowered his head and was about to leave, when he was stopped by this Xia Ziyan personally.

"This girl is the Qiao girl who is rumored in the city, when I see it today, it is just like the rumors." Her tone was a little yin and yang, and she stared at the girl with unkind eyes.

Yuan Ziyi only said that it was not good, this Xia Ziyan was not a good person, and when she saw a girl's family getting closer to him, she wanted to blow up her hair.

"Zi Yan, uncle, they're here too, you and I go back to entertain ......"

"Miss Xia is exactly the same as rumored.?" She fought back.

She naturally knows the meaning of this Xia Ziyan, and those who have not seen her are rumored to be a woman who is seven feet tall, has a dark face, and looks like a man, which means that she is ugly.

She Qiao You is not a good person, others bullied her, and she has to pay it back.

"You ......" Xia Ziyan was blocked by her words, but she couldn't find anything wrong, so she could only coquettish Yuan Ziyi. Cousin, look at what kind of people you are here, this woman is bullying me, can you kick her out? ”

She muttered, already in her lap and still like a child. The people passing by seemed to have gotten used to it, and left with their heads down.

Qiao You clasped his hands around his chest and raised his eyes to look at Yuan Ziyi, waiting for his words.

Yuan Ziyi glanced at Qiao You, only to feel that there was a bone-chilling look in his eyes, and he spoke to the people around him with some annoyance, "Zi Yan, don't make trouble, I invited them, how can I get them out,"

As soon as Xia Ziyan heard him say this, she was naturally unhappy, and withdrew into his arms, glaring at him with a pair of delicate eyes, "Cousin, you bullied me." ”

In the past, her cousin was obedient to her, not to mention driving away the cook in an inn, even if he wanted the stars in the sky, he would pick them off.

Now, he actually dismissed her face for a cook,

Looking at the relationship between the two cousins, Qiao You raised his eyebrows slightly, turned around and left.

Xia Ziyan was angry with Yuan Ziyi, so naturally she couldn't see it.

"Zi Yan, don't make trouble, this is not an old mansion, and the business of pilgrims is still counting on her." It's really not that he is speaking for Qiao You, just yesterday, the business of pilgrims has almost doubled.

As soon as she heard this, Xia Ziyan became even angrier in her heart, "Cousin, you wouldn't have treated me like this before." ”

"Zi Yan, this is a pilgrim, don't mention the past." Yuan Ziyi also cooled his face, Xia Ziyan was willful in the past, but she was also in the old mansion, and not many people watched the excitement.

But this place is different, besides, he and Xia Ziyan haven't seen each other for three years, and they naturally relied on girls' homes when they were young.

It's very different now.

Xia Ziyan looked at the young man with a cold face in front of her in disbelief, "Cousin, you murder me......"

She cried as she clutched her chest and coughed, the blood on her face receding and turning pale and pale.

The maid on the side took two steps forward and took the handkerchief in her hand to wipe her tears, "Young Master Cousin, you don't know, Miss finally begged the old lady to come out with her, Miss is frail and sick, you don't know it." ”
