Old Cen sent Meng Yu back to deliver a letter to Captain Hu, and stayed to chat with Mrs. Ye for a long time. He asked her in detail about the situation when she made the roast suckling pig before, and then told her all the things she needed to pay attention to and his own experience.
I have to say, old ginger is still spicy.
Every question raised by Mr. Cen hit the point of Mrs. Ye's doubts accurately.
After this exchange, Mrs. Ye felt more confident.
Meng Yu never came back after he left. Seeing that it was getting late, Mr. Cen was too lazy to wait for him any longer and asked Shi Lei to drive the car and prepare to go back.
Boss Ye and his wife sent him out.
Little did they know that this scene was seen by Xu Lei and Zhang Chuanlu who had just finished drinking.
"Look at that, is that Mr. Cen?" Zhang Chuanlu asked drunkenly.
Xu Lei looked up and said, "That's right!"
"No wonder the County Magistrate said Madam You was the candidate to represent Fengle County in the culinary competition in Beijing. It turns out she's already been clinging to Elder Cen's influence."
"If this gets out, it will be a complete scandal!" Zhang Chuanlu's mind started to race again.
Xu Lei frowned and said, "You'd better be quiet. Today you took the initiative to tamper with the seasoning. It's a blessing that you didn't get caught. What else do you want to do?"
Zhang Chuanlu thought about this and immediately lost all his scheming and said, "Alright, alright, I get it. Can't I just play honestly?
"I just don't believe it. I've learned cooking for so many years, but I can't be better than that country woman, Madam You!"
Seeing that Zhang Chuanlu was really drunk, his voice became louder and louder as he spoke.
Xu Lei was afraid of being discovered, so he quickly pulled him away.
After seeing Mr. Cen off, Boss Ye and Mrs. Ye looked towards the entrance of the alley in the distance.
"What's wrong? Come back soon!" Mrs. Ye turned around and urged.
"Here it comes. I just felt like someone was talking over there, but when I listened carefully, there was no movement."
Mrs. Ye said nonchalantly, "This is the capital, not our village. Many people may not have returned home at this hour. It's normal for someone to talk."
"That's right. It's already this hour, and the city is still bustling outside." Boss Ye said as he closed and bolted the door. "When we move to the capital, you can teach me how to make a few simple snacks. I'll push a cart and sell them outside at night. I'm sure I'll make a lot of money."
The two people walked into the house while talking.
The Wang family's courtyard is similar in layout to Ye's hometown, but it is a little more compact.
Now at night, Wang Ge and his wife live in the east room of the main house with Wang Ping, while Old Lady Ye and Mrs. Wang live in the west room with the boys.
There were two side rooms left, one on the east side and one on the west side, which should have been quite spacious to live in. However, the side room on one side was used as a storage room and was filled with firewood, grain and sundries. Only the two side rooms could be cleaned up and lived in. So the four brothers of the Ye family had to live in one room, and the three sisters-in-law and Qingtian lived in the other room.
When Brother Ye and Sister-in-law Ye returned to their rooms, everyone else had already gone to bed.
Second Sister Ye said helplessly: "Sister-in-law, I really have no choice. No matter how I coax her, Qingtian just won't sleep. You should come."
Mrs. Ye took off her clothes and got into bed. When she turned her head, she saw Qingtian still trying to keep his eyes open and looking at her.
His originally big eyes were now narrowed to just a slit because he was too sleepy to open them, but he still refused to sleep.
"Little rascal, Second Auntie has been coaxing you for so long, why don't you just go to sleep?"
"I'll wait for Mom to come back." Qingtian came up whimpering, hugged Mrs. Ye's arm and said, "Mom, that guy today was so mean! Why did he say that to you? Was he the one who did something to you later?"
Mrs. Ye didn't expect that Qingtian was still thinking about Zhang Chuanlu's objection to her dishes at noon, and even linked this matter with the problem in the afternoon.
After hearing this, Mrs. Ye Er and Mrs. Ye San also became excited and came over to discuss it.
"That shouldn't be the case!" Mrs. Ye thought. "I heard from Yumei that they are from other places and they probably don't have any roots here..."
But before she could finish her words, Mrs. Ye paused.
She suddenly remembered that when the conflict occurred in the Banquet Hall, there were officers bribed by Xu Lei and Zhang Chuanlu who came to "deal with the problem". If Mu Zheng had not sent people in time, her whole family would have been thrown into jail.
Since he was able to bribe the police at that time, could he also bribe others to do something this time?
But if you think about it this way, then Lu Jinyu and Yao Jinrong are also suspects.
After all, there were only three people who tampered with the seasoning today: Qian Yunfei, Mrs. Ye, and Miss Zhou.
Qian Yunfei is recognized by everyone as the strongest opponent.
Mrs. Ye can also be considered to be of extraordinary strength.
But everyone can see Miss Zhou's level, and her advancement is probably half due to luck.
Her cooking skills are indeed better than those of ordinary people, but compared with professional chefs, there is definitely still a big gap.
So the fact that he could tamper with these three people at the same time was definitely not just because he was afraid of their cooking skills, but rather it seemed like he had a strong objection to women participating in cooking competitions, and he also wanted to eliminate the most competitive person.
After discussing for a long time, everyone felt that the matter was getting more and more confusing, and more and more suspects were mentioned.
Mrs. Ye yawned and said, "It's getting late. Stop talking nonsense. With Elder Cen and the County Magistrate here, we've already embarrassed ourselves in public today. There will definitely be no problems tomorrow."
"Second sister-in-law is right." Third sister-in-law Ye echoed repeatedly, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, so many people in our family support you, you will definitely be fine."
