Adorable Food Goddess

That night, Ye Jiayao ignored Xia Chunyu. She felt angry, but more importantly, she was frustrated by her own powerlessness and didn't want to pay attention to others.

Xia Chunyu was also helpless, but he understood Yaoyao's mood and just gave her time to calm down.

Early the next morning, Ye Jiayao went to Tianshangju and called Deng Haichuan.

Haichuan, I have something very important that I want to leave to you. Ye Jiayao thought about it for a whole night. Ah Ruan asked her to find a cook. After much deliberation, she felt that Deng Haichuan was the most suitable one. Deng Haichuan was smart and tactful. Let him keep an eye on him in the palace, not to mention how he can help Ah Ruan, at least she can know about any troubles in the palace.

After Deng Haichuan heard about it, it was not that he was unwilling to go: But, if I leave, what will happen to Tianshangju? Now, he is the leading figure, and Wang Mingde and Cui Dongpeng are not here.

Ye Jiayao said: I have already thought about this. I will leave it to Jiang Yue in the pastry room and let Zhong Xiang be in charge here. You go to the palace and I will double the wages for you.

Deng Haichuan said: Second Young Madam, you are out of touch now. As long as Second Young Madam needs my place, Deng Haichuan will do it without saying a word. I will earn as much as I can in one year here. More than anywhere else in ten years.”

Ye Jiayao said solemnly: When you go to the palace, you have to be extra careful and don't let anyone catch you in the wrong place. I will make an agreement with them. You can go there during the day and return to heaven at night.

Now that Lin is in charge of the palace, Lin knew that Deng Haichuan was hers, so it was impossible to blatantly embarrass him, but she couldn't prevent that guy from secretly plotting, so she had to explain.

Seeing how serious the second young lady was, Deng Haichuan knew that this job was not easy to do. It was not as simple as being a cook.

Second Young Madam, don't worry, I will be careful.

After making an agreement with Deng Haichuan, Ye Jiayao went to the pastry room again. The pastry shop has started selling snow-skin mooncakes, and the business is booming, with long queues.

Jiang Yue collected the money there in person. When she saw Ye Jiayao coming, she hurriedly handed over the work to her subordinates and welcomed Ye Jiayao in.

Second Young Mistress, we sold 800 mooncakes yesterday, and it looks like there will be more today. Jiang Yue said happily while serving tea to Ye Jiayao.

Ye Jiayao smiled: Thank you for your hard work.

It's not hard work, business is so good, I almost wake up laughing in my dreams. Jiang Yue said happily.

Ye Jiayao felt apologetic. She only spent some energy on this pastry room at first, but later gave it to Jiang Yue and Zhong Xiang. It can be said that the success of the pastry room is all due to the two of them, especially Jiang Yue, who made the ice cream. She taught Jiang Yue the method. This was a trade secret. Jiang Yue did not dare to use it on others. She did it all by herself. How hard it was, she knew better than anyone else. Jiang Yue was simply known as a pastry shop. For the sake of her family, she didn't go back at night. Aunt Jiang complained to her several times, saying that she couldn't see Jiang Yue anymore.

Since you have been busy since August 15th, I will give you a few days off to have a good rest. Ye Jiayao said.

No, no, no, I'm not tired. Jiang Yue has never had such a sense of accomplishment. She always thought that she would live a mediocre life, but now she has become the mainstay of the pastry shop, and the pastry shop is becoming more and more prosperous under her hands. The sense of accomplishment is enough to offset all the fatigue and hardship.

She enjoys it.

I'm here today to tell you something. Ye Jiayao asked her to sit down.

Jiang Yue said with a smile: If the second young lady has anything to do, just give me instructions!

Ye Jiayao smiled: I think from now on, I will leave the pastry shop to you alone. I will give you a commission, and 20% of the future profits will be yours.

Jiang Yue was stunned: Second Young Mistress, how is this possible?

Others don't know how much a 20% profit is, but she knows it very well. A 20% profit costs tens of thousands a month. What does she need so much money for? Besides, although she and Zhong Xiang are in charge of the pastry shop, more than 90% of the most profitable pastries here are developed by the second mistress. She is just starting out, so how can she ask for so much money?

You deserve this, just think of it as the dowry I give you. Ye Jiayao smiled.

Jiang Yue blushed and said shyly: I'm not married, so what do I need as a dowry?

Ye Jiayao's smile was meaningful. Don't think she couldn't tell. Jiang Yue and Zhong Xiang clearly meant it. She also felt that the two of them were a good match. She originally wanted to talk to Zhong Xiang about it after finishing Ah Ruan's wedding banquet and ask Zhong Xiang to come and propose marriage. However, now it seems that we have to push back.

Can't you save it first? Silly girl, it's settled. Zhong Xiang will be very busy recently. He has to be responsible for teaching training classes and taking care of Tianshang Residence. You may not be able to see each other often. Ye Jiayao Talk to her first.

Alas, now I deeply feel that there is not enough manpower. Manager Zhao was sent to the farm to assist Manager Bai in building a separate courtyard. Deng Haichuan was sent out by her again. Manager Qian's ability was even worse. However, when Wang Mingde and Cui Dongpeng came from After graduating from the training class, it will be easier to handle, and I will have two more capable assistants.

Jiang Yue asked curiously: Isn't Deng Haichuan taking care of the kitchen in Tianshangju?

I sent him to do other things. Just endure it. After this period of time, everyone will be able to relax faster. Ye Jiayao sighed.

Finally, Jiang Yue was asked to pack forty snowskin mooncakes and some pastries for her trip to the palace.

It was the first time for Qiao Xi to follow the second mistress into the palace. She felt fresh and frightened at the same time. The majestic palace, the towering walls, and the aura of solemnity and luxury everywhere made people have to be careful even when breathing. He picked up the ice mirror and cautiously followed the second young lady.

Ye Jiayao went to the emperor's residence first. The emperor was working in the imperial study, so she didn't go in to disturb him and handed the mooncakes to Eunuch Wei.

I made a new flavor this year and sent a few to the emperor to try.

Eunuch Wei narrowed his eyes with a smile: Madam, you are interested.

Ye Jiayao handed over another box of snacks: This is pea yellow for my father-in-law. It clears away heat and improves digestion. I hope my father-in-law will accept it.

Eunuch Wei's eyes became smaller and smaller: The Za family loves to eat pea yellow. Thank you so much, madam.

You're welcome, father-in-law. It's just some food. If father-in-law likes it, I will send you more next time.

After that, Ye Jiayao went to the Chaoyang Hall of the palace and gave mooncakes and pastries to the queen. She chatted with the queen for a while before going to Concubine Shu's palace.

Concubine Shu was quite happy to see Ye Jiayao coming to deliver moon cakes.

It's still early on August 15th. You people in heaven are really good at doing business. Concubine Shu said with a smile.

As a reminder in advance, there are a few new flavors this year, so I thought I would give them to a few ladies to try first. Ye Jiayao smiled sincerely, showing that she was very considerate.

Concubine Shu was really happy and asked people to put it away.

What happened last time really embarrassed you, but are you feeling better now? Concubine Shu asked softly.

These words were exactly the same as those of the Queen. Ye Jiayao had to say the same reply a second time: Thank you for your concern, Madam. It's not a big problem. I just caught a little cold and I've recovered a long time ago.

It's a good thing you're fine, otherwise I would feel very sorry. Concubine Shu said.

Your Majesty, please don't say that. Your Majesty trusts me and lets me take on this important responsibility. I am only grateful in my heart, but I am afraid that I will disappoint you if I don't do it well. Besides, the princess is on good terms with me, both in public and in private. , all ministers and concubines must do their best. Ye Jiayao said euphemistically.

Concubine Shu felt relieved after hearing this. Ye Jinxuan was so good at talking, and she was even more eager to win over her.

It's rare for Ruan to be so close to you. It's also her blessing. With a good sister like you, she will be more happy in Jinling.

Ye Jiayao said: I just went to see the princess yesterday. She also said that the queen cares about her more than her own mother. The princess is lucky to have a mother-in-law like you!

Concubine Shu smiled and said, That child is so well-behaved and sensible. It's hard for me not to like him.

However, speaking of which, she hasn't come to pay my respects to me for several days.

Ye Jiayao said: She wanted to come because she has been feeling a little unwell these past few days.

Concubine Shu was surprised: Feeling unwell? Can you please ask the imperial doctor to take a look?

Ye Jiayao said sarcastically: Maybe it's because of loss of appetite. The dishes cooked by the chef in the palace are not to her taste.

Concubine Shu said thoughtfully: She is from South Vietnam. When she was in the palace earlier, the queen specially asked the cook to prepare South Vietnamese dishes, but I was negligent. How can the cook in the palace compare to the royal chef in the palace? Compare.

Seeing Concubine Shu's reaction, Ye Jiayao seemed not to understand the specific situation in the palace, so she said: She actually joked with me that she liked my cooking the best, so I thought it would be better to send a cook who lives in the sky. Go and cook for her specially. The chefs who live in heaven have their cooking skills taught by me, and the taste of the food they cook is almost the same as my concubine.

Concubine Shu chuckled and said, Now that she is the princess, it is not a matter of her own words.

Ye Jiayao stopped talking.

Concubine Shu saw some clues, but she didn't mention it clearly. She said, Since she likes it, please send a cook to her to cook it just for her.

I'm just afraid that King Yu will be unhappy. Ye Jiayao said.

Concubine Shu became more and more suspicious: Prince Yu, let me go and tell you what the big deal is.

Ye Jiayao was happy. Originally, she could have sent Deng Haichuan directly to Prince Yu's Mansion without going through Concubine Shu. However, with Concubine Shu's decree, the effect was completely different and she could ensure Deng Haichuan's safety in the Prince's Mansion. Anyone who wants to embarrass Deng Haichuan must do so carefully.

In that case, I'll go back and choose the best one. Ye Jiayao said with a smile.

After Ye Jiayao left, Concubine Shu's face turned cold and she called the palace servants: Go and call Aunt Wu into the palace. I want to ask questions.

Aunt Wu was the old palace servant she arranged to serve in the palace, and she was also her spy in the palace.

Ah Ruan is not feeling well, and the cook in the house is not to his taste. Ah Ruan is the princess, who dares to cook the food not to her taste for the princess? No more brains? Ye Jinxuan came to deliver mooncakes today as an excuse, but actually she wanted to remind her of something.

It seems that there is a problem in the palace!
