"I heard there was a war, and all the refugees from nearby are coming to our side. The higher-ups are afraid of trouble, so they have to stop the refugees and prevent them from entering the city."
"I came to the city to buy rice. I heard the price has gone up. I could buy a pound before, but now I can only buy four ounces."
“So expensive?”
"It's expensive, but there's nothing I can do about it. If I don't buy it, I'll just starve to death!"
Gu Huai looked at Xie Yunjiao in shock. He didn't expect that she had guessed it right by accident!
Soon it was Xie Yunjiao and Gu Huai's turn to enter the city. Their documents were fine, so the soldiers guarding the city checked them and let them in.
After Xie Yunjiao entered the city, she saw that there were more patrolling soldiers in the city. When they saw beggars, they chased them and wanted to drive them out of the city.
Xie Yunjiao thought of the little beggar from last time. He was alone and she didn't know if he had been kicked out a long time ago.
"Madam, I'm going to sell some things first. I'll find you at Yue Man Lou later."
"Okay, but I'm not sure if you can go into the kitchen. How about I say hello to the waiter up front? If it's convenient..."
Xie Yunjiao was mainly worried that Master Zheng was around, and if he saw her meeting Gu Huai during working hours, he would definitely take advantage of the situation to make trouble.
Although she was not afraid of quarreling with Master Zheng, time was of the essence and she wanted to make the most of the time to teach her two apprentices how to make the Dragon Nine Beads.
"Forget it. I won't delay your work. I'll go back after I finish selling the things."
Gu Huai was just curious. He wanted to see Xie Yunjiao's working environment. He was afraid that someone would bully his wife.
"Then be careful on the road. I will rush back early today."
Today she saw Niu Xiaohua and Aunt Niu coming out to drive a bus together. She informed them on the way and asked them to wait for her for a while. She would go over and take the bus as soon as possible.
Aunt Niu agreed.
With a car to ride in, she doesn't have to worry, and Gu Huai can also rest assured.
After saying goodbye to Gu Huai, Xie Yunjiao returned to the kitchen of Yuemanlou. As soon as they arrived in the yard, they found that everyone in the kitchen looked a little unhappy.
Master Zheng was holding the kitchen registration book in his hand and was getting angry.
"I ask again, who took the pork from the kitchen?"
All the servants in the kitchen lowered their heads and no one said a word.
Master Zheng looked at Old Lu, who usually talked the most. "Old Lu, aren't you usually the most talkative? Who do you think it could be?"
Although Lao Lu also wanted to take credit for this, he didn't know who it was.
Suddenly, he saw Xie Yunjiao and Xiao Ding and Xiao Jidan beside her.
Xiao Ding and Xiao Jidan seemed very scared, as if they had done something wrong.
His eyes suddenly lit up and he felt there was hope!
"I heard that it seems that they are not from our side, but..." Old Lu stopped talking.
"Who is it? Tell me." Master Zheng followed Old Lu's gaze and immediately had an idea in his mind.
Now he had grasped Xie Yunjiao's weak spot and could drive her away in less than fifteen days.
Xie Yunjiao's presence made him feel pressured!
He wanted to get rid of Xie Yunjiao as soon as possible.
"I heard from the waiter that the three of them, the master and his disciples, took some meat with them when they left."
He vaguely heard the waiter say this, but he couldn't hear it clearly.
Master Zheng kept asking, and he had no choice but to say this in desperation.
"Okay, Xie Yunjiao, so it was you who took the meat. You know, we at Yue Man Lou follow the rules. You took the meat without permission and that violated our rules. According to the rules, you must pack your bags and leave immediately."
Xie Yunjiao thought to herself, no wonder there was such a big fuss, it turned out that they were trying to deal with her.
"I didn't take any meat from your kitchen, why should I leave?"
Xie Yunjiao looked at Xiao Ding and Xiao Dandan: "Let's go."
"Stop! If you don't explain yourself clearly today, you can't stay in the kitchen of Yue Man Lou anymore."
"I said, I didn't take it. If you have any opinions, go find Butler Zhong."
"Do you think I don't dare?" Master Zheng snorted coldly. As long as Xie Yunjiao made a mistake, even Butler Zhong could not save her.
Zhong Wanshan is nominally in charge of Yue Man Lou, but the final decision maker is the old lady who is far away in the capital.
He has secretly contacted people in Beijing, and as long as Xie Yunjiao makes a mistake, he can take her away at any time.
"I'm sorry, I took the meat, it has nothing to do with the chef." Xiao Ding gritted his teeth and said suddenly.
"And me, I took it too."
The little egg closed its eyes, looking as if it was about to die heroically.
"You are crazy. Why are you admitting it if you didn't do it?" Xie Yunjiao looked at the two of them angrily.
The two of them acted as if they were doing the best for Xie Yunjiao: "Master, don't worry. Once a teacher, always a father. If not, always a mother. We will protect you."
Xie Yunjiao looked at Xiao Ding and Xiao Jidan with a mixture of laughter and tears. These two people were so silly and touching.
"No need to say anything, just throw all their stuff out." Master Zheng suddenly thought of something, "Search thoroughly for me, don't let them take anything from Yue Man Lou."
He saw that Xie Yunjiao had asked the waiter to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and seemed to have written something on the paper, perhaps the recipe for the Dragon Nine Pearls.
He has to find a way to get it, and then he will be the one who becomes successful.
"Master Zheng, you've overstepped your bounds again. You don't have the final say here." Xie Yunjiao's face turned cold. "Who dares to understand my stuff?"
"I moved, what can you do to me?"
Old Lu felt that Xie Yunjiao was definitely going to die this time, so he didn't bother to be polite with Xie Yunjiao. He rushed directly into the room where Xie Yunjiao and Xiao Ding were staying, picked up the distiller made by Xie Yunjiao and was about to smash it.
Master Zheng's eyes were about to burst open, and he wanted to rush up and slap Old Lu twice.
"Old Lu, are you crazy? Did I let you touch these things? These are Yue Man Lou's things!"
Old Lu was stunned. Wasn't this something Xie Yunjiao bought? When did it become Yue Man Lou's property?
"Put it down quickly! The things she bought with Yue Man Lou's money are definitely Yue Man Lou's!"
Master Zheng heard that Xie Yunjiao later asked Butler Zhong to help her reimburse all these things.
Old Lu understood what Master Zheng meant and quickly put the things down.
In order to make amends, Lao Lu searched inside and found the personal belongings of Xie Yunjiao, Xiao Ding and others, and threw them directly on the ground.
Just when Old Lu was feeling proud, he suddenly felt a pain in his hand. One of his fingers was broken by Xie Yunjiao.
He cried out in pain, but Xie Yunjiao didn't let go: "Who told you to touch my things?"
"Xie, you're crazy!"
"I think you're crazy, touching things without my permission."
There was a glint of ruthlessness in her eyes, with a hint of bloodthirstiness.
"What on earth is going on?"
When Butler Zhong arrived, Xie Yunjiao had already injured Lao Lu. When Lao Lu saw Butler Zhong, he hurriedly lay on the ground and pretended to be dead.
Xie Yunjiao kicked him and said, "Get up. It's just your hand that's injured. Why are you pretending to be dead?"
