Chapter 158 Eat in Peace
Qin Yue and Jiang Yu had quickly returned to the town and entered the restaurant.
"My two guests, please come in."
The waiter was welcoming guests warmly, but for some reason today, the number of guests suddenly dropped.
Jiang Yu was in a bad mood and walked into the lobby with her lips pursed.
Qin Yue threw a dime to the waiter and said, "Pick a quiet spot in a corner by the window."
The waiter took the change and smiled happily, "Two guests, please come this way."
After sitting down, Qin Yue said to the waiter, "Bring the tea first."
"Okay! Sir, please wait a moment."
After the waiter left, Qin Yue sat down opposite Jiang Yu, "Ayu, do you think I'm too cold-blooded?"
"No."
Jiang Yu raised her eyes and looked at him, "You're right, you did it for me. I just thought of Wang Mazi's trusting eyes."
Qin Yue asked softly, "You don't believe me?"
Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, "You? You mean, he can survive?"
"can!"
As long as you can survive!
Jiang Yu smiled, she didn't care about other people, nor could she care about them. She just couldn't stand Wang Mazi's trusting eyes, which made her feel like she had broken her promise and she felt very upset.
Qin Yue: "..."
What should he do? Facing a face that belonged to him, he actually had the urge to kiss it.
Otherwise, ask Ayu to dress up as a woman next time to avoid making him sick.
The waiter came to serve tea, and Qin Yue asked for the menu to order.
The waiter's 'living menu' listed a bunch of dishes as soon as he opened his mouth.
Qin Yue: "..."
Jiang Yu saved Qin Yue from embarrassment, "Steamed chicken with dried bamboo shoots, steamed fish, braised duck, braised pork slices, braised duck gizzards, stewed pork elbows, stewed winter melon and stewed tofu, plus four bowls of rice."
Seeing that Ayu had ordered the dishes and the waiter had not left, Qin Yue thought that he wanted to pay first.
The waiter took the money and said with a smile, "If you two gentlemen can't finish the meal, you can ask me to take the food box and take it away."
Qin Yue: "..."
It turned out that they thought they ordered too much. The service attitude in ancient times was quite good!
He suggested that Jiang Yu's restaurant also provide take-away boxes.
Take-away boxes are definitely necessary, but Jiang Yu wants something similar to modern disposable take-away food boxes.
"What's so hard about this?"
Qin Yue suggested to Jiang Yu, "Just use bamboo joints, and carve some simple insects, birds, and flowers outside the bamboo joints to improve the grade.
But you also need high-end food boxes, as some wealthy and powerful people only care about high quality.”
"Listen to you."
Jiang Yu's mood recovered and her appetite was very good. She even ate the ordinary meals that she disliked with relish.
Especially when she thought that such food could be opened in a restaurant, she became more confident about the plan of "restaurant chain".
While they were eating, a lot of customers suddenly poured into the restaurant.
Every guest was talking about the "major traffic accident" that happened outside the city gate not long ago, and the lobby suddenly became noisy.
"The mother and son of the Chen family were knocked away and fell to the ground in a bloody mess."
"Chen Jifa and the driver jumped out of the car just in time and saved their lives."
"Chen Jifa held his bloody wife and children in his arms and begged the magistrate to investigate the culprit. He wanted the culprit to pay with his life."
"It's a good thing that Miss Shen got off the carriage, otherwise she would have died."
"The mad horse drove the carriage into the city wall, but the people inside survived. They were really lucky."
"Who wouldn't say that? The horse was smashed into pieces, and the carriage was torn into pieces, but the man was still alive. It must be a blessing from his ancestors."
"I wonder if that person knows who the culprit is?"
"The trial will start in three days. Will you go to see it?"
"Of course I saw it. I was lucky. I rolled a few times after falling to the ground. Otherwise, I would not have come to the restaurant to eat and calm down, but to report before the King of Hell. I have to see who the culprit is and why he is so cruel and merciless."
Jiang Yu raised his eyes and looked at Qin Yue.
Qin Yue picked up some food for her and said, "Eat your meal in peace."
Jiang Yu: "..."
Sister Xiu said Qin was definitely braver than her, more than that? He was so bold!
"What if he..." "No what if."
Qin Yue said softly, "Didn't you and I cover our faces? In order to survive, he will definitely reveal the housekeeper."
……
The whole town and the entire county were in an uproar, and the forgotten Shen Yaoer woke up quietly at this time.
After being confused for a while, she finally figured out what had happened. She raised her hand to touch her forehead and found that the blood had already coagulated.
She was so badly injured, yet she's still alive?
Since she was not dead, she had to do something. She couldn't go on like this.
As I staggered out of the alley, my ears were filled with various versions of "major traffic accidents".
Miracle medicine?
She pursed her lips, which tasted as bitter as Coptis chinensis. Was she fed some magic medicine?
Chen Yun and her mother-in-law are dead?
Have a good death!
Is father-in-law still alive?
No! I can't let my father-in-law live! He is a beast as inhuman as Chen Yun!
We need to plan it carefully.
……
The plan to stay for one night is not feasible. After such a big incident, it would be most suspicious if the two of them could still stay calmly as planned.
"check out!"
Qin Yue tapped the counter lightly to remind the shopkeeper and the waiter who were talking animatedly.
"Check out?"
The shopkeeper was so shocked by the sudden "bad news" that he stuttered. After buying new bedding, he only had one and a half taels of silver left. How could he get a refund?
Should we return the bedding to the guests?
"We have to go to the city to see the fun, so we can't stay here anymore."
"Yes, but..."
Looking at the shopkeeper whose facial features were wrinkled with distress, Jiang Yu suppressed his laughter and said, "Brother, it's past noon now. It's not appropriate to refund the full amount."
"Then return half."
"Brother, are you short of those two taels of silver? I'll make it up to you."
"Then give a tip to the waiter! He worked so hard to clean the room."
Shopkeeper: "..."
I even worked hard to buy bedding!
The waiter smiled so hard that his teeth were showing, "Thank you, gentlemen."
When the two guests walked out of the inn, the waiter extended his hand to the shopkeeper, "Uncle, here's my tip."
"Why are you asking me for your reward?"
"Uncle, you are cheating!"
……
After entering the city, the two wanted to stay in the inn again, but there were no rooms available.
Every inn was full.
Fortunately, it was not yet dinner time and the restaurant still had private rooms.
They entered the private room, ordered tea and cakes, tipped the waiter, and told him not to disturb them unless necessary.
Quarter of an hour later, the waiter went upstairs again to welcome the guests, and found that the door of the private room was open, the two young gentlemen were gone, and there were a few dimes on the table.
The waiter felt strange. Why didn't he see the two young masters leave?
……
Qin Mansion in the west of the city.
There was suddenly a huge crowd outside the mansion, which scared the doorman.
The doorman hurried to inform the housekeeper.
Butler Liu Da heaved a sigh of relief when he discovered that these people were just crowding in the alley and had no intention of attacking the Qin Mansion.
I went to ask among the crowd in person and found out that the Qin Mansion had become an "important role" in the "major traffic accident".
The Qin family was suddenly involved in such a "major case", and Liu Da didn't know what to do.
He could only go to the restaurant to inform Nanny Jiang.
Jiang Xianghui was also panicked. For most of her life, she had been just an ordinary woman in the inner chamber, working hard for a living. How could she cope with such a situation?
