Chapter 214 Punishment

They were caught off guard before they could even use any of their tricks.

Now that his reputation has spread, people in the culinary industry can only quickly find ways to remedy the situation.

A few people gathered together again, arguing and cursing, discussing how to overthrow Tianxianglou and that Meifantian BBQ skewers.

Song Liyun had a great time at the birthday party and drank one more glass. She couldn't get up until the morning when it was time to leave.

Yunniang came to urge several times: "Miss, General Lin and the others are waiting for you in the front yard."

Song Liyun had no choice but to get up. It was really painful. Getting up early every day was even harder than when she was in her senior year of high school.

Yunniang put the clothes she was going to wear on the kang box, and sorted the clothes that Song Liyun was going to change into during the day, a kettle, a notebook, a handkerchief, a mosquito repellent pouch and other miscellaneous items into a small shoulder bag.

As he put it away, he sighed: This girl is really smart. How did she know that sheepskin could be divided into several layers and sewn into a waist bag?

Keep the things separate and don't worry about them getting mixed up like in a backpack, making your clothes wrinkled or accidentally knocking over the kettle.

Song Liyun hurriedly put on her clothes, washed her face with the water brought by Yunniang, then braided her hair into a bun and inserted the silk flower that Song Zhenping had given her yesterday.

She was going to ride a horse, so her hair needed to be simple and strong. Otherwise, no matter how fancy it was combed, it would all fall apart when she was bounced on the horse's back.

In the front yard, Lin Tao and a few others were tying cardboard boxes onto the horses' backs. The boxes were filled with various vegetables and two cleaned muttons.

When Song Liyun came out of the side courtyard, Lin Tao and others greeted her in unison.

"Brother Lin, have you eaten? Today's mutton is ready. Thank you all for your hard work!" Song Liyun responded with a smile.

Yesterday, Zhou Xiang and his friends went to Qili County to open a store, and Lin Tao, who was on his day off, prepared mutton at the guard post.

Lin Tao said, "We have already eaten at the guard post. Miss, your place is important. Zhou Xiang and the others said that there were many guests yesterday, so they asked us to go there early."

Zhou Xiang needs to prepare mutton for tomorrow, so he will arrive in the county town a little later.

Song Liyun was embarrassed. This was a task assigned to her by Captain Luo and the others. Now Lin Tao had already entered the yard to prepare the dishes, but she was still sleeping in!

After eating a few bites, Song Liyun set off for work carrying her pure sheepskin shoulder bag.

There were still five people traveling together. Except for Song Liyun who had a cowhide backpack on his horse, everyone else had a vegetable box on their horse, so they didn't need to buy them in the county town.

As soon as the sky brightened, the group entered Qili County.

The smooth opening on the first day gave everyone at Tianxianglou full confidence.

Ye Hua had already opened the shop with his men. When he saw Song Liyun coming with the dishes, he quickly washed the vegetables, cut the meat and mixed the seasonings. Others also started to skewer the dishes.

However, the three servants and two maids looked at Song Liyun strangely. They glanced at her from time to time, then lowered their heads and remained silent.

Song Liyun raised her eyebrows. After spending more than ten days together, she felt that these people were all dedicated to their work. They were normal before she left yesterday, but why did they suddenly become like this today? What happened?

She didn't ask what was going on, but just quietly checked the building up and down carefully.

Just as Song Liyun opened the wine warehouse, Ye Hua hurried over with a pale face and whispered a few words in her ear.

Song Liyun's face turned bad instantly, and she immediately called Lin Tao.

"What? You said the eight people who stayed in the store drank up all the drinks!"

After hearing this, Lin Tao became furious. He called two people and went straight into the backyard where the employees rested.

The eight people who had grilled skewers yesterday were now getting up from the kang, with the smell of alcohol still on their faces.

As soon as they saw the team leader Lin Tao coming in, they were so scared that they quickly lined up.

Lin Tao angrily scolded, "Yesterday, Miss Song felt that you worked hard grilling skewers, so she gave you good food and drink. But you, not satisfied with just one pot each, even dared to open the door of the warehouse on your own. What kind of behavior is this? This is a violation of military discipline, don't you understand?"

The eight people had tense faces, lowered their heads and dared not say a word.

Not long after, screams of pain and the sound of "pa pa" beatings were heard from the backyard. It was Lin Tao punishing someone.

Ye Hua and the other guys put down their work and peeked at it.

From morning till now, Ye Hua and others have been waiting to see how Song Liyun would deal with this matter.

They had all seen their colleagues stealing food and drinks, and the most they would be punished with was a monthly fine.

If the number is too large, they will be sent to the government, but I have never seen anyone being beaten directly.

Song Liyun had no experience in managing people, but she knew how to seize opportunities.

Song Liyun pursed her lips, and with a serious face, she called the other kitchen helpers over and asked everyone to listen to the noise in the backyard.

The atmosphere was dull and depressing at the moment. When they heard about the physical suffering in the backyard, everyone's heart was pounding under Song Liyun's cold gaze.

"Who was in charge of the drinks yesterday?"

Ye Hua stood up with a pale face.

Song Liyun looked at him and said, "Ye Hua, as the head of the kitchen, how can you allow people to come and go in such a sensitive area like the warehouse?"

Ye Hua muttered, trying to defend himself: "Those eight soldiers said they were tired and asked me to bring a few jugs of wine. They also said that this restaurant belongs to the garrison, and they..."

"They asked for it, and you gave it to them? The eight people who were beaten today were the result of your dereliction of duty. If the eight generals want to question you, you should explain to them!" Song Liyun scolded.

Ye Hua's face was already pale, and now it was even more bloodless. Those eight soldiers were beaten and they still came to him to complain!

He looked at Song Liyun and pleaded with a bitter face: "Miss Song, please help me, I...I dare not manage the kitchen anymore."

Song Liyun intended to train an assistant, and seeing Ye Hua so weak, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

She stopped threatening and said to the other guys in a deep voice, "You can handle this matter yourself, but I will make it clear to Captain Lin that we won't pursue you.

But I warn everyone again, remember to take care of your own business from now on.

If I am negligent again, deducting my monthly salary will be a small matter, I will be beaten first.

Think about it, if you are soft-hearted for a moment, you will not only hurt others but also yourself, and the consequences will be serious."

Song Liyun only said a few words, but they made the people in Tianxiang Tower understand the new rules, that is, mistakes would be handled by people in the military camp.

These guys only found out about the fact that Suijinwei was their boss when they signed the contract. Obviously, the management system has changed now.

Just as she finished speaking, the eight people who were beaten in the backyard came out.

They all limped into the front hall with their buttocks sticking out, their faces flushed as they bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes to Song Liyun: "Miss Song, we were greedy yesterday and deserve to be punished. Please, for the sake of Captain Luo, please show some mercy."

"Please don't chase us away, young lady. We won't dare to do this again."

Staying in the county restaurant is more comfortable than staying in the garrison. I made the mistake because I was too comfortable.

If you were sent back to the garrison for stealing food, it would not only be embarrassing, but you would also have to be beaten with a military stick.

Compared with the centurion's military stick, the few hits Captain Lin had just delivered were just tickling.
