The next morning after being driven away by the joint defense team and no longer able to sell crayfish, Jiang Yue did not go out to sell flowers. Instead, she boarded a black-sailed boat, sailed downstream, and knocked on the door of a small courtyard with black tiles and white walls in the Jiangnan style.

A middle-aged couple lived here and ran a private restaurant hidden in a long alley and deep walls. They usually received important people, which was considered a unique existence in this era.

Jiang Yue knew the hostess here because one time, a woman dressed very elegantly came to buy white jasmine. When they saw her coming, the group of women who were originally gathered around to pick flowers dispersed. They gathered again after the woman finished her shopping and left.

Through their conversation, Jiang Yue learned that this charming woman was once a prostitute. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, she changed her ways and found an honest and decent man to marry.

"She's just a prostitute!" A middle-aged woman in her fifties turned her mouth downward and sneered in disdain.

"Her man is still willing to marry a woman like her who has been fucked by thousands of men. He really doesn't mind having too many cuckolds!"

"Isn't it because the prostitute is good in bed? She has served so many men. Her man must have been subdued in bed!"

"That's right! Now she has opened a shop in the alley, claiming to sell homemade dishes. How can a prostitute like her cook homemade dishes? Isn't she just engaging in the sex trade again?"

"Oh, stop talking, my ears are getting dirty!"

“…”

While selling flowers, Jiang Yue listened to the women gossiping about the courtesan. She did not look down on the prostitutes like these people did. During the war years before the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were wars everywhere and the common people had no food to eat. If it wasn't for the sake of survival, who would really be willing to be a prostitute?

They are just poor people!

In the following days, the woman would come to buy two pairs of white jasmine flowers every day. Jiang Yue became familiar with her, and every time the woman bought flowers, Jiang Yue would give her an extra one.

"Thank you!" The woman's voice was very pleasant, she spoke in a soft Wu dialect and her smile was very gentle.

Just as the woman opened the door at this moment and saw that the person knocking on her door was actually the flower girl, her beautiful eyes only slightly raised, and she did not seem to be very surprised.

"You want to cooperate with me? Sell crayfish?" When Liu Fengxian heard this, an expression of surprise appeared on her gentle face.

"Yes! Sister, you should have heard that someone is selling crayfish in Jiacheng recently and customers are lining up to buy them. That's me selling them!" Jiang Yue smiled.

"Since business is so good, why don't you continue selling?" Liu Fengxian asked.

Jiang Yue sighed, "I was reported by Pink Eye Disease and was almost caught by the joint defense team yesterday evening. After much persuasion, only half a bucket of crayfish was confiscated!"

Hearing this, Liu Fengxian looked at Jiang Yue with gentle eyes, frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then shook her head, "I don't think it's feasible. I only sell some homemade dishes here. Things like lobsters are not worthy of being served in a formal restaurant. My customers won't like them!"

Liu Fengxian did not deny that she opened a private restaurant, but she did not show any interest in Jiang Yue's proposal.

Jiang Yue anticipated that things would not be so easy to handle. Crayfish has a very bad reputation in this era and is indeed not popular.

"Sister, don't be so quick to deny it. I can cook crayfish that is both delicious and beautiful. I'm sure the diners in your private restaurant will like it! Can you please give me a chance?" Jiang Yue clasped his hands together, blinked his big eyes twice, and acted cute towards Liu Fengxian.

Liu Fengxian was slightly surprised. She looked at Jiang Yue, not knowing what she was thinking. She smiled helplessly, "Okay, but I don't have any crayfish here—"

"It's okay, I brought ten kilograms of crayfish, they're outside!" Seeing the woman give in, Jiang Yue jumped up happily and hurried out to call Tang Ziyang in.

"Are you so sure that I will agree? Have you made all the preparations in advance?" When Liu Fengxian heard Jiang Yue say that she had brought crayfish, she couldn't help but frowned slightly.

"Because I know that my sister is beautiful and kind-hearted, and she is also bold, trendy and willing to accept new things! That's why I came to her so boldly!" At this time, Jiang Yue flattered her without any payment.

But she didn't say anything against her will. Opening a private restaurant in this era is not something that most people dare to do. Moreover, the people served here are definitely not ordinary people. This woman named Liu Fengxian is definitely not an ordinary person!

"Besides, if sister really doesn't accept my proposal, I will just take the things back. We should be prepared for everything! Don't you think so, sister?"

Jiang Yue smiled as she spoke, calling her sister all the time. Liu Fengxian smiled and covered her lips, "Okay, since you have such a sweet mouth, I'll give you a chance!"

"Thank you, sister!" Jiang Yue turned and waved to Tang Ziyang who was standing at the door, "Come in!"

Tang Ziyang had been standing at the door for a long time. He heard the conversation between Jiang Yue and Liu Fengxian. At this moment, he was frowning, his face was not very good, and his eyes were drooping.

Seeing Jiang Yue calling him, Tang Ziyang hesitated for a moment before walking in.

Liu Fengxian saw it, but her expression didn't change. She said to Jiang Yue, "Come with me!"

Jiang Yue took two steps and saw that Tang Ziyang was still standing there like a nail, so she turned back to pull him, "Let's go!"

Tang Ziyang's face turned pale, and his handsome face was also filled with anger. "Jiang Yue, if I had known you were coming to see her, I would not have let you come!"

"Tang Ziyang, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get back!" Jiang Yue saw Liu Fengxian stopped and looked over here, so she smiled at her, "Sister, we'll be there soon!"

"Jiang Yue!" Tang Ziyang's Adam's apple rolled and he lowered his voice, "Do you know who she is?"
