Yesterday, I was as tired as a dead dog, but I was still young. After a nap, I felt energetic again. Ye Jiayao got up early, first helped the waiter sweep the floor and wipe the tables and chairs, and then went to the kitchen to help the second mother make breakfast.
Since she traveled through time, she has completely given up her hobby of sleeping in. The problems she could not change in her previous life were cured automatically under the pressure of survival.
By the time Er Niang and the waiter got up to work, the lobby had been swept clean, the tables and chairs were neatly placed and polished, and the aroma of steamed buns and steamed buns was already wafting from the kitchen.
"Li Yao, please don't do this again. You are a guest. How can I let you do things?"
Erniang was quite embarrassed.
"Sister-in-law, I'm already up anyway, so I have nothing to do." Ye Jiayao added firewood to the stove.
"It's good to relax and recuperate, life in heaven is not easy." Er Niang said.
Ye Jiayao laughed: "It's okay, we are young."
After breakfast, Ye Jiayao went to work in the restaurant.
When Manager Qian saw Ye Jiayao, he was all smiles: "Brother Li, why are you here so early? The shopkeeper told you to have a good rest and come back later."
Ye Jiayao tilted her head to make sure she heard correctly. Manager Qian used the honorific title "you".
Well, it only took one night, so much change.
"I want to come over early to make some new dishes and let the shopkeeper see if they work."
"Brother, I'm going to make a new dish. That's great. The shopkeeper will come over a little later. Hey, brother, this is your banknote. I exchanged it for you with a smaller denomination, and distributed the remaining thirty taels to you. , the kitchen assistant gets 2 taels, the handyman gets 800 coppers each, and the doorman and Lao Guan get 500 coppers." Manager Qian was embarrassed to say that he also got 2 taels.
"Okay, you can just distribute it." Anyway, everyone knows that she gave the reward and the distribution was distributed by the restaurant. She can't blame her for the uneven distribution.
Ye Jiayao collected the banknotes and went to the kitchen. Everyone greeted her warmly along the way.
"Brother Yao..."
Except for two disciples in Tiantian Curie who are younger than her, the others are older than her. They all call her Brother Yao, which is really not used to her.
"You can just call me Xiao Yao or Xiao Li." Ye Jiayao said modestly.
"We rely on our cooking skills to speak for ourselves. Whoever has the best cooking skills is the boss, everyone says, right?" said the second-class assistant cook Deng Haichuan with a smile.
In fact, what he wanted to say most was that whoever could give them money would be the boss. Yesterday they received two and a half taels of silver reward, which was half a month's wages. He has been working in Tianshangjuya for four or five years, and this is the first time he has encountered such a good thing.
"Yes, Brother Yao." Everyone said in unison.
Ye Jiayao twitched the corner of her mouth and said jokingly: "Please don't call me that, little brother, I have been called old by you even in my prime."
Everyone laughed, and there had not been such a relaxed and happy atmosphere in the kitchen for a long time.
Suddenly, the laughter stopped, and everyone turned their attention to the door. Ye Jiayao turned around and saw Zhong Xiang walking in with a cold face, followed by Liu Qisheng.
Zhong Xiang walked straight towards her, his cold face exuding low pressure, and the heat in the kitchen dropped.
Ye Jiayao felt obvious hostility. Without thinking too much, she knew why this hostility arose. Fights in the workplace are the same in ancient and modern times, and there is no escape from a conflict of interest.
However, it is better to face the unhappiness openly than to laugh in the face and stab someone in the back.
Zhong Xiang held two and a half coins in his hand and placed them on the workbench next to Ye Jiayao. Then he turned around, took his apron and tied it on, put on his hat, and was ready to start work.
Ye Jiayao curled her lips and put away the money. This guy is quite arrogant, even if he has money, he doesn’t need it.
Ye Jiayao was not in a hurry to find him, but waved Deng Haichuan out.
"Brother Haichuan, Brother Xiang, what's wrong with him?"
Deng Haichuan said: "Does this need to be said? Brother Xiang has been working here for seven years, and he was promoted to the first-class assistant cook last year. You have been the first-class since you came here. He feels a little awkward, but Brother Xiang is a very nice person. , it will be fine after a while.”
Yeah? Ye Jiayao doesn't think so. It's impossible to think of this kind of thing by yourself.
"So what kind of cooking does Brother Xiang be good at?"
"Brother Xiang's cooking skills are quite comprehensive. To say which one is better, it should be the pastry! But he didn't have much chance to show off. Before, Chef Niu brought a pastry chef. As soon as Chef Niu left, he had to cook the noodles. The pastry chef has also been taken away. Brother Xiang has been making the pastries these days. Unfortunately, none of the guests ordered dessert last night." Deng Haichuan also told the truth. Brother Xiang was not like this before Li Yao came. .
Hearing Deng Haichuan's defense of Zhong Xiang, Ye Jiayao smiled: "That's his advantage. I can't make pasta. Let's see if there is a chance to cooperate with him."
Ye Jiayao took out another two taels of silver and gave it to Deng Haichuan along with the two and a half taels that Zhong Xiang returned to her: "After work is done in the evening, help make two jars of good wine. Tell Brother Xiang to invite the brothers, and then we'll talk about it after drinking."
It is estimated that Zhong Xiang's face will turn green when he finds out. Let’s test it out first. This guy is Bawanggong and a fat guy.
Deng Haichuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, then will you come in the evening?"
Ye Jiayao waved her hand: "It's not convenient for me to live outside. I'll meet you some other time."
Xia Chun was on duty in the palace last night and waited until the emperor came to court. When he saw that there were no instructions, he returned home.
As soon as we arrived at the mansion, a servant came to report: "Little Prince Jing is waiting outside in the study."
Xia Chunyu said in his heart: Didn't this guy just come here yesterday? Why is he here again
"Xiao Jing." Xia Chunyu walked into the study.
After He Lianjing returned home yesterday, he sent his trusted aide Ping An to the Laifu Inn to keep an eye on him. He was so excited that he didn't sleep well all night. In the morning, Ping An came to report that Dayao Yao had gone to live in heaven, so he thought about inviting Chunyu. Brother went to Tianshangju for dinner.
Firstly, to praise Dayao Yao; secondly, Brother Chunyu has contributed a lot to finding Dayaoyao so smoothly, so he must thank Brother Chunyu; thirdly, Brother Chunyu has always been so insistent on him to find Dayao. Yao couldn't understand, wasn't he just a brat he met on the road? He just helped him because he was kind-hearted. He wanted Brother Chunyu to see how different Yaoyao was.
"Brother Chunyu." He Lianjing greeted him cheerfully.
Xia Chunyu frowned and looked at him. This kid always looked sad every time he came here. Why is his face so happy today
"Why are you so happy that you found your brother Jinyao?" Xia Chunyu sat down and the maid immediately served tea.
"Brother Chunyu, you guessed it right, I found Dayao Yao." Helian Jing smiled from ear to ear.
Xia Chunyu almost spit out his tea. He was just teasing her casually, but he actually got it right.
"Brother Chunyu, you are really good at predicting events. As expected, Dayao Yao came to Jinling. Didn't you ask me to find Zhao Qixuan yesterday? He held a celebration banquet for you but you didn't go. I was dragged there by him. It turns out, Brother Chunyu, it’s a coincidence that it was written down. I had only heard about it in plays before, but I never thought that I would actually meet Yaoyao, the great Yaoyao who lives in heaven and works as a cook.” He Lianjing was so happy that he couldn’t say anything. Everything came out.
Xia Chunyu wanted to say, if you don’t want a great Yaoyao, how about applauding a great Yaoyao? Do you know that the word Yaoyao is a scar in my heart
"What a coincidence."
He Lianjing came up to him with a smile: "Brother Chunyu, can we go to Tianshangju for dinner at noon? I am treating you, so I have to thank you, right?"
Xia Chunyu glanced sideways at him: "Do you want to join in the fun?"
He Lianjing chuckled: "The food cooked by Dayao Yao is delicious."
"You'd better go find someone else. I've already promised your brother to go to Xiangyi Building at noon." Xia Chunyu said. He could refuse when others invited him to dinner, but He Lianxuan invited him and he had to go. Besides, after returning to Beijing, he still I didn’t have a good get-together with He Lianxuan.
"Why are you going to Xiangyilou? What kind of good food can Lao Niubi make? You might as well go to live in heaven. Brother Chunyu, I promise you won't be disappointed." He Lianjing highly recommended it.
"Forget it, your brother has already reserved a seat, let's talk about it next time."
He Lianjing was very disappointed that he couldn't even invite anyone to dinner.
After leaving Jing'an Prince's Mansion, He Lianjing went straight to Yong'an Prince's Mansion. Zhao Qixuan, an idler, must be free.
Zhao Qixuan swam in the lake until midnight yesterday, but he still hadn't gotten up yet and was fast asleep.
Helian Jing didn't care and rushed to his room to lift the blanket.
"Get up, it's time for lunch."
As soon as he opened it, Helianjing didn't even have time to close his eyes. He turned around and said with a blushing face, "Why don't you sleep without any clothes on?"
I also added in my heart: You are an unruly stinky hooligan, you are a pillar of the sky, you are not serious even in your dreams.
Zhao Qixuan was having a tryst with Xiao Su in his dream. He was so beautiful that he got angry when he was woken up. When he saw it was He Lianjing, he turned a smile and said, "Xiao Jing, why are you here?"
Helian Jing didn't dare to look back: "Hurry up and get dressed. I'll wait for you outside. Hurry up!"
Zhao Qixuan curled his lips. He was only looked at for his good looks. Xiao Su had never seen his good figure. He was the one who suffered. He didn't even blush. Xiao Jing seemed to have been raped.
Zhao Qixuan put on his clothes and came out: "Xiao Jing, why do you want to see me so early in the morning?"
The heat on He Lianjing's face has not subsided. The impact of the scene just now was too great, and he didn't know if he would get a needle eye.
"It's so early in the morning, it's almost lunch now, I'm looking for you to have dinner." Helian Jing rolled his eyes at him and said angrily.
"Is it so late?" Zhao Qixuan's life was a little confused these days. The old Marquis was not in the house, so he was very happy.
He Lianjing pointed to the clock on the table.
"Uh... Xiaojing, you come to have dinner with me, okay, brother, treat me, where do you want to go? Xiangyi or Fuji?" Zhao Qixuan said generously.
He Lianjing snorted and said, "Didn't someone say last night that from now on you, Zhao Qixuan, will live in heaven when you treat guests?"
Zhao Qixuan was stunned for a while, then knocked on his head: "Look at my memory, I really said this, then... let's live in heaven?"
Ye Jiayao cooked several new dishes in the morning. After shopkeeper Li tasted them, he ordered them to be included in the menu.
Xiao Lu came in and reported: "Shopkeeper, the Yong'an Hou Shizi and Jing Xiaowang came here again yesterday. They called for Brother Yao to come over at Fuchou Pavilion."
Ye Jiayao curled her lips in anger, this kid is finally here! Patience is really getting better and better.
