Chapter 302 Fate
Or did you simply meet someone with ulterior motives?

Or did these people just happen to be heading in this direction?

After a pause, Cen Ying continued walking forward, and did not even stop when passing Buyun Tower. The two shadows behind her also quickly followed her without any hesitation.

After walking for a while, Cen Ying quickly turned around and went back.

The two shadows were obviously a little surprised. In order to avoid being discovered by Cen Ying, they quickly approached the stall, looking as if they were looking at and picking out the goods.

Cen Ying did not say anything and went straight into Buyun Tower.

After entering Buyun Tower, he pretended to stand at the door and look at the bamboo menu hanging on the wall, but actually went to see the situation outside.

The two shadows quickly left the stall and approached Buyun Tower. Two of them even got together and whispered to each other. Then one of the shadows quickly left, leaving only one waiting at the door of Buyun Tower.

Obviously, this was because they were worried that Cen Ying would leave through the back door of Buyun Tower, so they had to keep an eye on her from both front and back.

At this point, Cen Ying was certain that she was being followed, but she was not sure about the purpose of the person who came, or whether they were the same group of people who had attacked them before.

If it were those people...

Cen Ying bit her lip, thinking about how to get out of this situation.

When the waiter in Buyunlou saw the guest Cen Ying coming in, he came up to greet him warmly, "Sir, are you alone? What would you like to eat? Would you like to sit over here? The weather is hot. I'll pour you a cup of tea first. Please moisten your throat and take a rest..."

Cen Ying raised her hand, interrupting the waiter's enthusiastic greeting, "May I ask the chef in the restaurant to come out for a moment?"

Hiring a chef?
The waiter was stunned for a moment, but still smiled, "I don't know what the guest wants the chef to come out for, I will explain the reason when I go to invite him."

"My mother is obsessed with the roast duck from Buyun Tower and wants to eat some, but she has been bedridden for many years and is taking various medicinal herbs. I am worried that the various spices and seasonings used in the roast duck will conflict with the medicines my mother is taking, so I want to ask the chef what kind of seasonings are used in the roast duck, so that the doctor can identify them to avoid conflicting with the medicines." Cen Ying explained.

"I see." The waiter suddenly realized and praised, "Sir, you are really filial. I will go to the kitchen and see if I can ask the chef to come out. Please wait for a moment."

"Thank you." Cen Ying bowed, "Thank you very much."

"You are welcome, sir."

The waiter went to the kitchen and found Xia Mingyue, explaining the matter clearly, "I think the girl is very heroic and doesn't look like someone who would cause trouble, but she suddenly asked to see the chef, so I'm still a little worried, so I came to find you, Madam Xia, to see how to deal with it."

There were some things happening at the Sifang Casino today, and Manager Ge went to deal with it. He is not in Buyun Tower at the moment, so when the guys encountered such things, they naturally asked her.

Xia Mingyue nodded, "I understand, I'll go take a look now."

See if the other party has normal needs.

"Yes." The waiter humbly replied, leading the way, and took Xia Mingyue to the front hall, in front of Cen Ying, "Sir, this is our Buyunlou's chef, Madam Xia."

Cen Ying was stunned when she saw that the chef in front of her was none other than Madam Xia, the owner of the orchard who had stayed the night there some time ago.

When Xia Mingyue saw Cen Ying, she was also very surprised, "Madam Cen?"

"Hello, Madam Xia." Cen Ying bowed, "I never thought I would meet Madam Xia here."

"I guess it's fate." Xia Mingyue smiled. The waiter just said that the customer who asked about the ingredients of the roast duck was buying it for his mother who had been ill for many years. When Mrs. Cen stayed at the hotel, she also mentioned that she was worried about her grandfather and grandmother in Changzhou City and her mother was bedridden.

The logic behind this makes sense, but Mrs. Cen mentioned before that she was from Kezhou.

Kezhou is more than 500 miles away from Jinqiu County, which is quite far away.

No matter how popular her Buyunlou business was, and no matter how popular the roast duck was in Jinqiu County, in this era when the speed of information dissemination was very limited, it was not famous enough for Buyunlou's roast duck to be known in Kezhou.

Even though I heard that it takes several days to travel from Jinqiu County to Kezhou, the roast duck purchased here will become very unpalatable after arriving in Kezhou, and may even deteriorate due to the gradually warming weather.

Mrs. Cen's reasons are a bit far-fetched.

But as I said, when you are away from home, your identity is given by yourself.

She has given herself an identity, so naturally others can do the same.

Xia Mingyue did not expose the truth and continued to follow Cen Ying's words, "I just heard from the waiter that Madam Cen wanted to inquire about the seasonings involved in the roast duck. Logically speaking, as the head chef of Buyun Tower, I cannot tell others about these things, in case someone wants to imitate Buyun Tower's roast duck."

"But Madam Cen has her reasons. If I completely refuse, it would seem a bit unkind. I can only write down a few more. If they are okay, that would be the best. If Madam Cen asks the doctor to check and finds that they are not suitable, please tell me the names of the spices and I will inform Madam Cen. Is that okay?"

Cen Ying thought about it and nodded, "Then let's do as Madam Xia said."

It's just a little more troublesome and you just have to make two more trips.

But for the sake of the young master, it doesn't hurt to make a few more trips.

Seeing that Madam Cen agreed, Xia Mingyue asked someone to bring paper and pen, wrote down all the spices involved and the few that she had added on the paper, and handed it to her.

"Thank you, Madam Xia." Cen Ying thanked him repeatedly, folded the paper and put it in her arms, "Excuse me, Madam Xia, how do I get to Xinghua Lane?"

Xinghua Lane?
Xia Mingyue was a little surprised, "Mrs. Cen is going to Xinghua Lane? Is she going to see a doctor?"

"That's right." Cen Ying nodded without hiding too much.

"What a coincidence! I also live in Xinghua Lane. There is only one doctor in Xinghua Lane, and that doctor is Doctor Yin. Is he the one Madam Cen is looking for?"

"That's right." Cen Ying nodded again.

"Doctor Yin doesn't see many patients normally, but he was out for more than ten days recently. I think it was because Madam Cen asked him to see a patient."

Xia Mingyue smiled and said, "If we go to find Doctor Yin, he will tell Madam Cen directly whether it is feasible. There is no need to confirm it again. The spices used in the roast duck cannot be hidden from Doctor Yin's tongue."

Yin Lingyou had been treating Xiao Luoan for several days. Cen Ying had already witnessed his extraordinary medical skills and knew that he must have such ability. She immediately agreed, "Yes, thank you..."

Before she could utter the word "Madam Xia", a waiter brought a boiled fish that had just come out of the pot to the table, and a child of five or six years old ran excitedly into Buyun Tower and bumped into the waiter.

Someone saw this scene and screamed in surprise.
