"Qiao 'er, I've gotten used to the food in his shop. If you don't let me eat, what should I eat? Is father more important or the owner of that shop? "
Wang Ju brought the Jang Wong Clan into the mansion and said to the Jang Wong Clan. He seemed very unhappy.
"Of course the owner is more important. I'll go over for dinner tonight and have them send the food to you as soon as they're done. I can't do it now. They probably worked until late last night and are sleeping now. They've been so busy all day and finally found an excuse to sleep. Just let them sleep."
The Jang Wong Clan said to Wang Ju.
"How can they be more important? They can earn money even if they're not busy. Isn't the purpose of opening a shop for money? Just give them fifty copper coins for a biscuit. That should be fine. I'm your father. "Wang Ju was confused by his daughter's words.
"Father, what's wrong? They're … they're doing something very important. Father, just listen to me. What's fifty copper coins worth? Even if it's five hundred thousand copper coins, it's better to let them rest for a day. I'll have the chef prepare something for you. You can have a meal at noon. My chef isn't bad. I'll have them cook earlier in the evening. It'll be just enough for you to eat at night and midnight snacks. "
The Jang Wong Clan wanted to tell her father about the shop, but she knew she couldn't.
Wang Ju carefully looked at his daughter for a while and said in confusion, "Five hundred thousand copper coins isn't as good as them resting? If they're so rich, why would they open a shop? The food your chef makes is indeed delicious. It's much better than mine.
If you don't eat the food from that shop, your chef's food is the best in the world. But after eating the food from that shop, you feel that your chef is only good. Don't you know the skills of that shop's owner? "
"Of course I know. How could I not know how good the owner's skills are? But … Aiya, just listen to me. You're not allowed to knock on the door today. Let them rest. Otherwise, I'll go home and never come back. "
Jang Wong Clan had no other choice but to resort to threats. Her son and daughter-in-law had been working so hard for so many days. Not only did they have to sell things and pretend to be normal businessmen, but they also had to be responsible for the affairs between the four men and create opportunities for their own people.
It sounded easy to say it, but when faced with a problem, the process of how to deal with it was very difficult.
He couldn't let the other party discover him. He had to make the other party reveal himself. At the same time, he had to cooperate with the three men on the other side to mobilize the people behind them. How could it be so simple?
Only his son and daughter-in-law were capable enough to do things well. If it were others, they wouldn't be able to do it even if they were exhausted to death. The two children were already so busy, but his father still wanted to find trouble.
Wang Ju finally realized that something was wrong. His daughter shouldn't be like this. He was her father. Why didn't she care about her father? Who was the owner of that shop? Who else could be more important than her father?
With that in mind, the puzzled Wang Ju asked, "Qiao 'er, tell me, what's going on with that shop? I promise to keep it a secret for you. "
"Even if the Emperor asks, you will keep it a secret?" Jang Wong Clan asked.
"This …" Wang Ju hesitated. He didn't understand what in the world could be kept a secret from the Emperor.
"Since you can't, I won't tell you. Anyway, it's good that you remember. In a few days, you'll know what's going on. Now that you've tired them out, you'll regret it. Be careful that you won't be able to eat their food in the future."
Jang Wong Clan dispelled the idea of directly telling her son where he was.
Wang Ju now knew that things seemed to be out of his expectations. His daughter must have her reasons for being so insistent. He frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Qiao 'er, you have to give me a general idea, or at least give me a hint. Haha."
"Father, why are you like this? What hint? Hint, hint. If you trust the person you send to pick up the burrito, you can eat all the food made in that shop directly. You don't need to find someone to test the poison.
That's how I eat. In this world, other than the food that I make myself, there's no one else who can make me feel at ease. Don't ask anymore, and don't think about it. Be careful not to ruin things. Don't tell His Majesty. I'll go back and ask the chef to cook for you. "
Jang Wong Clan's hint was enough. She was really afraid that her father would be forced to send someone over. That would be really troublesome.
Looking at the back of his daughter, Wang Ju fell into deep thought. He pondered, "It's actually so powerful. Who in the shop can avoid testing for poison? In other words, the problem can't be caused by the person who made the food, unless it's one of my own servants. "
"For Qiao 'er to be so assured, it must be the person she trusts the most. The food I make will not be poisoned. Of course, the food I make will not be safe for others to eat. If there's too much salt, the food will not be safe and can't be eaten."
"But who can make food that's more delicious than the chefs in the inner courtyard of Zhang Clan and Wang Clan and make Qiao 'er feel absolutely assured? She told me to be careful that I won't be able to eat it in the future. Qiao 'er is so concerned about it, how can I not eat it in the future? In the future, even if their shop is gone, there's still my good grandson. Hm? Grandson? Xiao Bao, Cuckoo? "
"No way. Aiya, my grandson. Didn't you say you were going to the capital? Why, why did you run to the opposite side and open a shop? No wonder. I was wondering why your culinary skills are so good. So this is the case. "
"Yes, definitely. Qiao 'er personally went over yesterday. Don't worry, indeed, don't worry. There's no need to test for poison. Yes, the steamed buns are specially made for Qiao' er and Wang Clan. The authentic soup dumplings of Zhang Clan and Wang Clan must have crab meat in them, but the ones made for Qiao 'er and Wang Clan didn't have it. However, the taste was not bad at all.
'Other than Xiaobao, who else in the outside world would be clear about this matter? Moreover, they would specially make something targeted at it. Qiao' er also specially sent someone to make the cabbage in vinegar. It's true that whoever's mother is protecting and whoever's son is feeling heartache. '
At this moment, Wang Ju thought it through. Since that was the case, she could not disturb Xiao Bao and Cuckoo. The two of them must have something very important. Otherwise, they wouldn't have to hide it from her.
In this way, there was no need to eat rolls tonight. She asked Xiao Bao to make a few hot dishes and send them in food boxes. Originally, she was worried that the boss's hot dishes were not very good.
The snacks that Qiao 'er personally made yesterday and sent a lot of ingredients were actually for her son and daughter-in-law to eat. That was right. Since they were disguised like that, they couldn't casually buy other things. There was definitely no beef or venison. Even if someone sold beef, they wouldn't dare to buy it.
She couldn't tell anyone, not even the Emperor. Otherwise, it would be easy to ruin Xiao Bao's plan.
Yes, it was indeed like this. The intelligence personnel on the Emperor's side and the intelligence personnel of Zhang Clan and Wang Clan had recently obtained a lot of clues. A group of stupid people, who couldn't find any clues for such a long time, could only wait for Xiao Bao and Cuckoo to do it themselves.
Wang Ju, who understood everything, was in a good mood. Naturally, she wouldn't disturb her grandson's rest. Otherwise, she would really regret it.
"Master, should I still go?" The servant who was waiting at the door saw Wang Ju come out and asked.
"Go in the evening. Then have someone send it to the seaside on a fast horse. Have the boss casually cook a few hot dishes and put them in food boxes. Oh, I just remembered something. In the future, be more respectful when you go there. Don't yell at them. If I find out, I will peel your skin. Qiao 'er has a special impression of them."
Wang Ju was worried that his family's servants would bully his grandson, and then his grandson could only be bullied in order to hide his identity. Therefore, he deliberately warned them. If someone really bullied his grandson, he would really peel the servant's skin.
The servant didn't know what was going on and thought that it was only because the owner of the restaurant was impressed by his cooking skills. Therefore, he respectfully agreed and considered whether he should give the restaurant some extra benefits. He had reprimanded the owner of the restaurant before and even looked like a bully.
If the madam went there and the boss said something bad about him to the madam, he would definitely be beaten.
*****
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't know about this matter. The two of them slept until seven in the morning, which was around nine o 'clock. It was the first time in a long time that they slept so soundly.
Zhang Xiaobao casually cooked two bowls of porridge, spread out a few pancakes, stir-fried some venison, and a few pickled vegetables. He ate it together with Wang Juan.
After that, the two of them got busy. Since his mother was coming over at night, many dishes had to be prepared in advance, especially the soup. It was similar to the Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup. It needed to be cooked carefully.
Of course, Zhang Xiaobao wouldn't cook the Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup for his mother. Firstly, there wasn't enough time. Secondly, there was too much seafood inside and it wasn't suitable for pregnant women.
By noon, all the things that needed to be done were done. The four workers came together. Wang Gang and the other two workers were in good spirits, while Zhang Yi was dispirited.
"Zhang Yi, you … didn't sleep well?" Zhang Xiaobao was very puzzled. Zhang Yi went back first last night, so why was he so sleepy now? His eyes were bloodshot, and there were bags under his eyes. Moreover, there were dark circles under his eyes, as if he had put on makeup.
Zhang Yi felt that he might not be able to hold on at any time. Hearing the boss's question, he shook his head and said, "Brother Zhang, it's nothing. Last night, I was worried about Xiao Gang and the others, so I kept dreaming. When I woke up this morning, I realized that the shop was not open. According to your instructions, I worked all morning. The yard was cleaned up, the chickens were fed, the tank was filled with water, and a lot of grass grew in the field.
I plucked the grass from the ground. "Hearing Zhang Yi's words, Wang Gang and the other two workers wanted to laugh, but they could only hold it in. At the same time, they hated Zhang Yi in their hearts. This Zhang Yi actually complained. The three of them were obviously fake imperial edicts. Zhang Yi probably guessed it, but he wasn't sure. Therefore, he finished the work first and then told the boss.
Thinking of this, the three of them looked at the female boss very nervously. They were afraid that the boss would scold them and even arrange more heavy work for them.
Who knew that what they were worried about didn't happen. They only heard Wang Juan say with a smile, "Good, Zhang Yi is really capable. You even care about these three 'brothers'. If I knew that you didn't rest well last night, I wouldn't have asked them to do the work. Later, you sit down and rest on the table to catch up on your sleep.
Today, no one will enter the restaurant. You can sleep at ease. When the back room is ready, you can open the door and let other guests in to eat, so that no one will scare Mrs. Zhang.
Xiao Gang, go out and buy gauze in a while. Now, start to clean the table. You must wipe it clean. No dust or oil can be seen. Otherwise, if you make Mrs. Zhang unhappy, you won't get a penny of salary. Go back to where you came from. This restaurant won't keep you. "
Zhang Yi was stunned. He thought that he could send a lot of people here today and see if there was a chance. But now, the restaurant won't be open for the whole day. Wouldn't his people work for nothing?
No, he had to find a way to tell them. Otherwise, if they gathered here and didn't leave without his signal, when Jang Wong Clan arrived and the guards found out, they might be suspicious of their purpose. They might ask them and ask them to provide their place of origin.
All of these were possible. He had to go out. He couldn't stay in the restaurant. The door was still closed.
"Boss, I'm okay. I'm not sleepy. I'll go buy some gauze." Zhang Yi looked at Wang Juan with expectation.
"You didn't sleep well, and you've been working for the whole morning. How can you not be sleepy? Don't force yourself. Your health is more important. Yesterday, we agreed to let others run errands." Wang Juan disagreed.
"Boss, I'm really okay. I'm the best at buying gauze. Really." Zhang Yi said almost begging.
Wang Juan pretended to think and finally nodded: "Okay, you go buy it. Come back quickly. I'll ask Shitou to make you a soup. You can drink it and lie on the table for a while. Then you won't feel so uncomfortable."
Wang Juan's words made the other three workers feel uncomfortable. If Zhang Yi was sent out, how could they contact him? Their own people would also come to eat. Would they also be loitering at the door? Zhang Yi would know when he came back.
Zhang Yi took the money and happily left through the back door. Wang Juan smiled and said to the remaining three people: "Don't be idle. One of you stay here to wipe the table. The other two go outside to pick flowers for me. Mrs. Zhang is coming. The restaurant needs to look good. Go."
The three people felt comfortable again. Zhang Yu chose to stay. Zhang Nan and Zhang Yu went out. Zhang Yu's force couldn't command the other two forces. However, whether it was the Zhang and Wang families or Li Longji's spy system, they could command Zhang Yu's force.
It didn't take long for the three people to come back. Zhang Yi was holding a roll of gauze, and the other two were holding flowers.
After putting down the things, Wang Juan said to Zhang Yi: "Zhang Yi, I've thought about it. Our restaurant's protective measures are not good enough. We need to dig a tunnel to the outside. Go and find someone now. Be quick. Let them dig. Go."
Zhang Yi was stunned. He had just asked that group of people to leave, and now she wanted him to find someone to dig a tunnel. This was a key place. The tunnel could be used to store other things, but that group of people had left. Did she have to find another tunnel?
Zhang Yi hesitated in his heart. He agreed to Wang Juan and turned to leave.
