Adorable Food Goddess

Chapter 340 People’s hearts are not as old as they used to be

Without further ado, Ye Jiayao immediately went to find Zhao Qixuan, leaving the rest to Lu Xiaotian and others.

Zhao Qixuan is still sleeping soundly.

Hearing that it was Ye Jiayao who was looking for him, he quickly got up, tidied up a little, and asked someone to invite Ye Jiayao in.

Seeing Ye Jiayao's face as cold as morning frost, Zhao Qixuan thought that the situation had changed, and his heart rose in his throat. But after all, he, Old Zhao, was a person who had seen the world, how could he be so serious? Can't hold back your anger?

Zhao Qixuan said strangely and emphasized: What happened? Don't scare me. I am an injured person and my energy and blood are low. I don't need to scare you!

Ye Jiayao had no time to talk to him and said solemnly: Someone came to the training class last night to set fire. Fortunately, they were discovered in time and there were no casualties.

Zhao Qixuan took a breath: Are you sure someone set the fire?

I almost caught him, but the other party had backup and ran away again. Thinking of this, Ye Jiayao went crazy.

Then you report to the official! Zhao Qixuan expressed deep sympathy.

Of course, report it to the official. The problem is, the government may not be able to find out. Ye Jiayao looked at Zhao Qixuan steadily: I want to ask you for help.

Zhao Qixuan immediately understood what Ye Jiayao meant. He had several docks under him, and the status of dock workers was the most complicated. There were people from various gangs. Therefore, he had some friendship with the people on the street. If he was really a gangster of a certain gang, It's easy to make trouble, just say hello to Master Jiu.

I understand, I will help you investigate this matter, but are there any more precise clues? You can't just ask who set the fire last night? Zhao Qixuan said.

There aren't many clues. I just know that the person who set the fire had a mole as big as a small fingernail on the left side of his face.

Okay, I'll tell people to do it right away. You go back and wait for my news. Zhao Qixuan said simply.

Ye Jiayao said solemnly: Please help me find out. Someone came to make trouble at the last food festival. I suspect it was the same person who instigated it. If we don't find this bastard, he is not done yet.

Zhao Qixuan was slightly surprised: Isn't this the first time? This guy is very courageous. I want to see who he is who dares to touch my friend, Lao Zhao.

Zhao Qixuan was about to roll up his sleeves subconsciously. As soon as he moved, the wound was involved. He snorted, took a breath of air, calmed down, and said decisively: Your business is my business, there is no need to talk about it, as long as this person is on the road. I'll help you find the bastard.

With Zhao Qixuan's words, Ye Jiayao felt relieved.

Then it's up to you.

As soon as Ye Jiayao left, Zhao Qixuan called Xiao Shao in and ordered: Take my sign and go to Jubao Tower to find Master Jiu, and tell him that I asked him to find someone...

At this time, in the east of Jinling City, a man in a green shirt with extraordinary appearance walked into an inconspicuous alley and opened a half-old wooden door.

In the yard, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl was sitting in front of a wooden basin washing clothes. When she saw the man coming, she quickly got up, wiped her wet hands on her apron, and saluted the man: Third Young Master...

This man is none other than Xia Chunfeng, the third young master of the Jingan Hou Mansion. And this girl was Xiaoya who had been punished for Liuli and was given fifty pieces of gold to be sold by Mrs. Renya.

Xia Chunfeng glanced at Xiaoya and said, Are your injuries healed?

Xiaoya said respectfully: Thank you, Third Young Master, for saving your life. My slave's injuries are all healed.

The cold wind brought out the humidity of the Jiangnan water town, and became more and more biting. Xia Chunfeng said: Come inside and talk!

After sitting down, Xiaoya made hot tea and served it respectfully.

Third Young Master, please have tea.

Xia Chunfeng just held the hot tea in his hands to warm it, and said thoughtfully: If I ask you to go back and serve the third young mistress, will you be willing?

Xiaoya suddenly raised her eyes, a hint of surprise in her eyes, then dimmed again, lowered her head and said nothing.

She has used her own life to repay the relationship between master and servant that she had had with the princess for many years. She no longer owes the princess anything, and her life is very peaceful now. She doesn't want to go back to the days when she was always worried, submissive, and intrigued.

Seeing her reaction like this, Xia Chunfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

I know you don't want to. If you don't want to, I won't force you. Forget it, I'll find someone else!

Xiaoya asked weakly: Does the princess want the slave to go back?

Xia Chunfeng said: She doesn't know your whereabouts, but she has looked for you. However, you have been rescued by me.

Then...does the Third Young Master want this slave to go back?

Xia Chunfeng confessed: To be honest, I need it.

I still wanted to explain the reason to her, but Xiaoya calmed down and said: My life was saved by the Third Young Master. Whatever the Third Young Master wants me to do, I will do it even if I don't want to.

She is not a ungrateful person. She took the blame for the princess before to show her loyalty, and now she works for the third young master to repay her kindness.

Xia Chunfeng sighed secretly. Liuli's loss of Xiaoya was her biggest loss.

When he saved Xiaoya, it was just a temporary thought. He felt that Xiaoya was a loyal servant. If he didn't save Xiaoya, Xiaoya would only die. Unexpectedly, Xiaoya is actually used now.

Do you know why I want you to go back? Xia Chunfeng still thinks it's better to talk things out. If Xiaoya is not determined and regrets midway, it won't work.

Xiaoya has a clear mind: Does the third young master want Xiaoya to be your eyes and ears?

A flash of surprise flashed in Xia Chunfeng's eyes, she actually guessed it.

That's right, you know the temper of the third young lady. Although we have moved out now, she still has a grudge against the people in the old house. I can't keep an eye on her all the time. You are the person she trusts the most. , I will tell you everything, I think I can feel more at ease with you by her side.

At this time, the situation in the court was turbulent. Before leaving, the eldest brother told him to pay special attention to Liuli and not to get into trouble. Now, Liuli is getting closer and closer to Prince Yu's concubine. He did not listen to his advice and asked him to I felt very uneasy, so I came to see Xiaoya.

Xiaoya nodded: Then I will go back, and the Third Young Master will make arrangements!

In the Seventh Prince's Mansion, Liuli sent away Prince Yu's concubine Lin, and she was in a very happy mood. Finally, the person named Ye was devastated. Haha, wait and see, this is just the beginning. She will slowly and step by step destroy everything about Ye Jinxuan, career, love... until there is nothing left.

Ye, I, Zhao Liuli, will defeat you one day.

A maid hurried in to report.

Princess, there is a Yabozi here, saying that the person you asked for has news.

Liuli was stunned for a moment, then said happily: Where is the person?

Wait outside.

Let her in quickly.

Liuli said eagerly, after asking for so long, he finally got news about Xiaoya.

In the afternoon, Lu Xiaotian summoned people from the Chamber of Commerce for an emergency meeting.

Ye Jiayao also went to participate.

I think some people have heard about what happened in the training class. As he spoke, Lu Xiaotian's eyes swept across some people's faces intentionally or unintentionally, and he said in a more serious tone: Someone set the fire maliciously, I don't understand. Why is the existence of the training class an eyesore to anyone? We have to burn it down to resolve our hatred.

Shopkeeper Lian of Xiangyi Building said: Could it be done with some of you people who have personal grudges?

Whether there is a private or public enmity, using such despicable and cruel methods is the outrage of both humans and gods. The sky net is vast and meticulous. Whoever does evil will not escape the sanction of the law and the judgment of morality. Lu Xiaotian's emotions were quite intense. Excited, the training class was promoted by him. He and a group of like-minded people put a lot of effort into it and placed a lot of hopes on it, but it was burned down by someone.

President Lu has called everyone here just to listen to President Lu vent his anger, right? Zheng Sanduo said casually.

Lin Changchun lightly sneered: The training class does not belong to President Lu alone, but to everyone in the Chamber of Commerce. The training class was burned down. I think, as a member of the Chamber of Commerce, everyone should feel angry! What? Shopkeeper Zheng thinks Don’t you think so?”

How could Zheng Sanduo easily fall for the full set? He said with a smile: What did shopkeeper Lin say? Such an unfortunate thing happened, and everyone felt uncomfortable. However, there is no point in being angry now, and we don't know who the murderer is? Even if we curse here, I have eight generations of ancestors, and you can’t hear about it, right? Does Shopkeeper Lin suspect that one of the people here did it?

Who did it? God knows and the earth knows. That person knows it in his heart. However, I think that everyone here is a well-known person in our catering industry. How could he do such a dirty thing? Lin Changchun showed no weakness and retorted.

Okay, indeed, it is useless to be angry now. The government has already intervened. I believe there will be results soon. By then, whoever did it will be our common enemy. Now, let's discuss the aftermath. Lu Xiaotian raised his hand to stop the two from continuing to argue.

And Ye Jiayao was always observing the words and expressions.

Some were indignant, some were indifferent, and some even gloated.

Haha, people's hearts are not ancient...

Lu Xiaotian continued: We have calculated the amount of losses, which is about 60,000 taels of silver. The training class needs to be rebuilt, and the students' losses must be compensated. They are all small cooks, and their lives are not well-off. Before, we have We contacted thirty-nine restaurants participating in the food festival, and everyone was willing to donate generously. Each family contributed 500 taels. We, the three presidents, each contributed 3,000 taels. Mrs. Rong was also willing to contribute 500 taels. Now we have raised a total of 200 taels. Sixteen thousand five hundred taels, still more than 30,000 taels left. Our presidents want to pay from the Chamber of Commerce’s membership fees. After all, the training class is affiliated to the Chamber of Commerce and serves all members. What do you think?

The restaurants where students were sent to the training class this time naturally had no objections and expressed their opinions one after another.

But there was a group of people who looked at me and me and finally set their sights on Zheng Sanduo. Obviously, these people are following Zheng Sanduo's lead.

Zheng Sanduo said thoughtfully: The training class only recruits about thirty students in each period. The first period was okay, but now there is some kind of selection and assessment. As a result, those small restaurants can't compete with big restaurants. Big restaurants You can send people there in groups of two or three, but no one from the small restaurant can get a turn, and now everyone has a lot of opinions!
