Chapter 163 Never dare again

During the meal, everyone except Xia Youshi ate with gusto.

At dinner, Xia Chunyu entertained all the waiters at Tianshangju, as well as Manager Du and his family, Uncle Jiang's family, as well as Lu Xiaotian, Duan Qilin, Lin Changchun and other colleagues in the catering industry.

These people asked Shopkeeper Li to express their congratulations and also sent gifts, so Ye Jiayao naturally had to treat them to a meal.

"Second Young Madam, these are little gifts from my brothers. Please don't mind, Second Young Madam?" Deng Haichuan held a box.

Ye Jiayao took it, it was heavy, what was that?

When I opened it, I found it was a gold-inlaid knife with exquisite patterns carved on the blade. The blade was sharp and cold.

Ye Jiayao picked it up and weighed it. The weight was just right and it fits the hand very well.

"What a nice knife... I accept your kindness, brothers." Ye Jiayao said happily.

Seeing that she liked it, everyone smiled.

"Hehe, I told you Brother Yao would like it." Cui Dongpeng said with a smile.

Deng Haichuan slapped his head and said, "Brother Yao, you should call me Second Young Lady."

Everyone laughed.

Lu Xiaotian looked at the lively scene here and felt a lot of emotion in his heart. Some chefs are worthy of the title while others are just in name. Regardless of whether they are real or not, the status of a chef in the kitchen is unattainable. Who has ever seen a chef and his subordinates being as close as brothers? No wonder Tianshangju is becoming more and more prosperous. With everyone's hearts tied together and working together, it is hard not to be prosperous!
"It seems that the cooking competition will lose a strong competitor." Lin Changchun shook his head and said regretfully: "I was hoping to see the demeanor of the imperial kitchen walking."

Duan Qilin said: "She no longer needs a competition to clear her name."

"There is Madam Rong in front and Ye Jinxuan in the back. Women are just as good as men!" The one with the most complicated feelings today is the shopkeeper, Old Li Li.

I didn't expect that the Prince of Jing'an bought Tianshangju just for Li Yao.

Should he thank Li Yao or hate Li Yao? His cornucopia was gone just like that. He should hate it, right? But now, as he was drinking the wedding wine, he thought it was interesting. It finally helped a couple to be together. He thought that he was getting old and it was time to take a good rest. How much money a person could make in his lifetime was determined by fate.

"Old Li, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you hired a woman as the chef and you didn't even notice it." Lin Changchun teased.

Lao Li smiled bitterly: "Haven't you seen it too? Did you see it?"

"That's different. We just met once. Unlike you, I'm right under your nose every day." Lin Changchun said with a smile.

Lao Li raised his glass and said, "Stop talking. Today is a happy day. But you guys need to work harder in the future. Don't let a woman take away all your business."

Duan Qilin has a good attitude: "There are so many people in Jinling, there is no end to the business."

Lu Xiaotian said: "Uncle Duan is right, harmony brings wealth."

He used to think that Li Yao was amazing, but now he has some respect for her. A woman who can achieve this makes these tall and strong men ashamed!

Ye Jiayao and Xia Chunyu came together to toast.

Normally, women are not supposed to be on such a stage, but Ye Jiayao was very open and generous, and no one thought it was impolite. Instead, they thought she was magnanimous and generous.

"Everyone, eat and drink well, drink as much as you can..." Ye Jiayao said with a smile.

"The dishes at Tianshangju are indeed delicious. Second Young Madam, do you have any secret recipe?" Lin Changchun asked with a smile.

Of course there is a secret recipe, which is chicken essence, but since it is a secret recipe, it cannot be revealed. Ye Jiayao smiled and said, "It's just a little bit of effort."

"We also work very hard!" said Lin Changchun.

Ye Jiayao said: "Cooking is not a task, it cannot be a formality. When making each dish, you should think of making it for the most important person in your life. In this way, even the most ordinary ingredients can be made into the most delicious taste."

Lu Xiaotian asked doubtfully: "Can you do this?"

Ye Jiayao smiled: "Of course."

Lu Xiaotian and Duan Qilin looked at each other thoughtfully, and were shocked. They had been taught to be attentive since they started learning cooking. When they were not good at cooking, they were always very attentive. When they became good at cooking, they gradually lost their attentiveness. Experience dominated everything, and cooking became a procedure to be completed step by step. Of course, they could also cook delicious dishes, but dishes without attentiveness would not be appreciated by the tasters. But she could always remember this and do it. It was not easy, and people had to admire her.

"Thank you for your advice." Lu Xiaotian bowed and said sincerely.

Ye Jiayao smiled and said, "I will ask you for advice on vegetarian cuisine some other day. I am also very interested in vegetarian cuisine."

“I’m at your service any time.” Lu Xiaotian said. It was his dream to learn cooking skills from such a master.

Xia Chunyu said: "From now on, the Second Young Madam will be in charge of Tianshangju, and I hope you can help each other."

Lin Changchun smiled and said, "Of course. We also hope that the Second Young Madam will give us more support!" Today, everyone came here to make friends. Tianshangju has firmly established itself as the number one in the catering industry in Jinling City. With a prince with a strong background and a Second Young Madam with superb cooking skills, there is no doubt that the future will belong to Tianshangju.

As they were talking, the waiter came to serve the dishes and announced the names of the dishes loudly.

"Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is here. This is made by our Second Young Mistress herself. She has been busy in the kitchen for the whole afternoon."

When the jar is opened, a rich aroma fills the air.

Everyone was amazed. This was the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall named by the emperor himself. It really lived up to its reputation. The rich aroma was enough to make people hungry.

Lu Xiaotian and Duan Qilin are both great chefs and they taste the food very carefully.

"It's fresh and rich in flavor. I tasted it and I can tell there are at least a dozen kinds of ingredients in it, blending together without any one ingredient overshadowing the rest. It's a rare delicacy." Duan Qilin said.

Lu Xiaotian had already tasted this dish at home. His father made it according to Li Yao's method. The ingredients were exactly the same, and the processing procedures were exactly the same. However, his father always said that the taste was not good enough and could not make the taste of Li Yao. He was curious. How could it be so fresh and delicious? Now that he tasted Li Yao's dish himself, he knew that his father was right. The same dish can best distinguish the difference. It is indeed very mysterious to put in effort.

The father's intention is to surpass Li Yao, while Li Yao's intention is to let the tasters feel her intentions.

Lu Xiaotian suddenly realized.

What masters compete with each other is not skills, but mentality.

Xia Chunyu was afraid that Ye Jiayao would be tired, so he said goodbye before the banquet was over and asked Manager Zhao to entertain the guests well.

In the carriage, Ye Jiayao fell asleep leaning on Xia Chunyu's arms. She was too tired. She had overdrawn her energy last night and had been busy today, so she couldn't hold on any longer.

When they arrived at the Marquis's residence, Xia Chunyu did not wake her up. He carried her back to the yard, gently undressed her, and after washing himself, he held her quietly, smelling the faint fragrance on her body, and slowly fell asleep.

However, when Xia Youshi heard about his considerate and loving behavior towards his wife, it became Ye Jiayao's fault.

"What does this look like? Is she spoiled because of her husband's favor? She can't even walk these few steps? Is she afraid that others don't know that her husband loves her? She is shameless and has gone too far." Xia Youshi was very dissatisfied.

"Madam, I don't think it's a big deal. The young couple has a good relationship, and you should be happy." Mother Sun beside Xia Youshi said with a smile.

"Even if you have a good relationship, you have to know your limits. Chunyu dotes on her too much. For example, tonight, they went to Tianshangju to invite a group of commoners to a wedding banquet. This is very inappropriate. What is Chunyu's identity? It will be a joke if it gets out. What's more, she is a woman who goes out to show her face. Does she think she is a prostitute?" Xia Youshi said angrily.

"I don't care about the past, but she is now the second young lady of the Marquis's Mansion, and the future mistress of the Marquis's Mansion. She doesn't know how to restrain herself a little."

"Madam, don't worry. In my opinion, this second young lady is good, smart and capable. Just think about it, when she was still a commoner, she was loved by the old princess, the crown princess, and even the emperor. In the future, she will definitely become a qualified hostess and a virtuous wife to the prince." Mother Sun advised.

Xia Youshi sighed and said, forget it, let’s not worry about it for now, and teach him slowly later.

"Where will you stay tonight, sir?"

Mother Sun said, "At Aunt Gui's place."

"Hmph, I just like these little goblins." Xia Youshi put down the comb indignantly and went to bed to rest, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she tried. She had a lot of headaches. The Marquis always liked to contradict her. Chunyu, who had the highest expectations, married a wife she was not satisfied with, and Chunfeng was going to marry Princess Liuli. This was the most troublesome thing. With such a living Bodhisattva entering the mansion, it would be difficult for her to be a mother-in-law!

Ye Jiayao slept soundly, and when she woke up, she found herself lying in Chunyu's arms. She couldn't remember how she got home last night, but she just knew that she started to feel sleepy as soon as she got on the carriage.

Did he carry her back to the room?
Ye Jiayao carefully raised her head and looked at the person beside her pillow. The first ray of sunlight filtered through the window and spread onto the edge of the bed, casting a layer of hazy golden light on his sleeping face, softening his edges and making him even more handsome.

Ye Jiayao never denied that she was a member of the appearance association. She looked at him infatuatedly, thinking that it was a happy thing to wake up every day to see such a handsome guy.

"Have you seen enough? Are you satisfied with your husband?" Someone said slowly with eyes closed, a sly smile on the corner of his lips.

Ye Jiayao said in a very unpleasant way: "I'm looking at the eye boogers in the corners of your eyes, and am considering whether to remove them for you." She didn't want to admit that she had just looked at him like a fangirl.

Someone suddenly opened his eyes and shot two sharp glances at the woman with a look of disdain.

It seems that she has rested enough. Dare to play tricks on me. I got up early and washed up, okay? I practiced a set of swords. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, I couldn't help but climb back to bed and hug her for a nap.

Ye Jiayao had no idea, and said seriously: "Don't believe it? Go look in the mirror yourself."

Someone gritted his teeth, turned over and pressed her under him: "I think you deserve to be punished."

"Hey! It's time to get up, stop making noise."

"No, this is a punishment. Let's see if you dare to play tricks on me again."

"I'm not kidding you..." someone said innocently.

After a while, someone begged for mercy in a very unconvincing voice: "I won't dare to do it again. I won't dare to do it again next time."
