Watching Gu Yanrou walk away, Gu Yanyue stepped forward and started chatting with Concubine Yu.
Concubine Yu was a little shy, so Gu Yanyue had no choice but to find topics to talk to her for a long time, and she gradually became less restrained.
"Sister, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you." Concubine Yu looked at Gu Yanyue, feeling a little embarrassed. "I shouldn't have thought that you were the same kind of person as Concubine Rou." As Concubine Yu spoke, her voice became lower and lower. She felt very guilty in her heart, and always felt that she had misunderstood Gu Yanyue.
Gu Yanyue knew it all in her heart. At first, the little girl thought that she was in the same group as Gu Yanrou, so she was so vigilant.
But it makes sense. If you have no power or influence, you won't be able to survive in this deep palace if you are not careful.
Imperial Concubine Yu carefully observed Gu Yanyue, and only heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that she was not displeased at all. "Your Majesty, I, your humble servant..."
Gu Yanyue knew what she was going to say from the tone of her voice. She interrupted her and looked at Concubine Yu, holding her hand. "I forgive you for what happened before. From now on, we can call each other sisters. How about that?"
Seeing her smiling at Concubine Yu, Concubine Yu was somewhat at a loss and stammered, "Your Majesty, how can my status and position be compared with your sisters?"
"Who said that? I like you very much. From now on, we will be good friends. If you have any problems, tell me. I can protect you." Gu Yanyue embraced Concubine Yu with a heroic look on her face and said in a cheerful tone.
"Okay, then...thank you, sister."
One reason is that Gu Yanyue likes Concubine Yu. The other reason is that although Concubine Yu's mother's family is not high-ranking, they are still ministers in the court. Now it is very important for Yuwen Ran to win people's hearts. Therefore, making friends with Concubine Yu can be regarded as paving the way for Yuwen Ran.
After being released from confinement, Gu Yanrou was able to move around freely.
Gu Yanyue couldn't scold him, and she couldn't scold other people either. Gu Yanrou was angry, and finally she transferred her anger to the cook. The next day, she ran to the restaurant and caught the cook and started beating him up.
"You bastard, you sold me a fake recipe and made me look bad. Beating you is a bargain for you." Gu Yanrou looked down at the chef lying on the ground, and the anger in her heart finally subsided a little.
But she didn't dare to cause any death, so she just beat the cook and returned to the palace.
Seeing Gu Yanrou leaving, the cook became more and more angry.
There was clearly nothing wrong with the prescription I gave, but I was beaten for no reason and even had no place to complain. It was really a case of losing more than I gained. The loss was not worth it!
He was angry in his heart, which affected his ability to do things.
In a moment of carelessness, the dishes became problematic. The customers found bugs in the dishes and felt sick for a long time. They yelled for the shopkeeper to come out, and the restaurant was in chaos.
…
Gu Yanyue was researching her new dish in the palace. She was about to go find Yu Wenran to let him taste it first when she saw her personal maid Liu Mei coming. "Your Majesty, something happened."
"What's wrong?" he asked without stopping what he was doing.
"The restaurant had a fight with some customers over the food."
Gu Yanyue put down the work in his hands and looked at Liu Mei in surprise, "What?"
Her temples suddenly throbbed. This group of people actually started fighting with the customers. Did they know that the customers are God?
"I'm going to go out of the palace to take a look. Please make arrangements quickly. I'll come back after changing my clothes."
Gu Yanyue changed her clothes, quickly got on the carriage, and drove to the restaurant.
As soon as she arrived at the restaurant, Gu Yanyue felt her blood pressure was about to soar, but she still forced a smile and walked forward.
Before coming, someone had told him that the customer he had offended was the son of a local businessman, a regular customer and cash cow of his restaurant.
Gu Yanyue felt like hitting someone. She wondered which bastard took his anger out on the guests!
"Everyone, please be quiet. Sir, please take a seat first. I am the owner of this shop."
The customer looked at Gu Yanyue and said, "You are the boss, right? You came at the right time. I found bugs in the dishes in your restaurant and just wanted to change them. Why did your chef hit me? You must give me an explanation today." The customer was obviously a little agitated.
Gu Yanyue apologized with a smile while discussing compensation with the customer. After several rounds of negotiations, they finally came to an agreement. However, the customer still had another request, which was that the chef who had cursed him should apologize.
Gu Yanyue had found the chef on the road before. His name was Dacheng. At that time, she thought he was honest and simple, and his cooking skills were to her liking, so she kept him. Little did she know that after more than a year of training, the one she raised turned out to be an ungrateful person.
"Dacheng, come out." Gu Yanyue came to the kitchen with a stern face.
"The shopkeeper."
"Go out and apologize to the guests!" Gu Yanyue said, pulling Dacheng out. Dacheng apologized reluctantly for Gu Yanyue's sake.
Gu Yanyue still felt a headache and thought that today was not a good day for doing business. She sent the guests away and planned to have a chat with Dacheng. Before Gu Yanyue could speak, Dacheng spoke first.
"Boss, why should I apologize? This is how you treat your employees. You're so ungrateful!" Dacheng complained, and then looked at Gu Yanyue, "Also, boss, you're just a little girl, and it's tiring to look after the restaurant. Why don't you let me take care of it with you? It's better than having trouble every few days!"
Dacheng's words became more and more outrageous, and he didn't notice that Gu Yanyue's face was getting uglier and uglier. When he wanted to continue talking, he got a solid slap in the face.
"You stinky woman, how dare you hit me!" Dacheng said, raising his hand to beat Gu Yanyue, but after seeing Gu Yanyue's cold eyes, he backed off. Gu Yanyue looked at Dacheng, "Dacheng, how have I ever wronged you? You deliberately smashed my restaurant sign."
"Boss, please speak with conscience. How did I destroy your reputation? Can your restaurant still operate without me? You only give me a few taels of silver every month. Are you kidding me?" Dacheng said.
In fact, the salary that Gu Yanyue gave to Dacheng was already the best in the area, but some people were greedy and wanted to get more than they wanted.
Seeing Gu Yanyue was silent, Dacheng thought that Gu Yanyue was frightened by him, and said, "I'll tell you, boss, next time you want to scold me, you still want to..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard Gu Yanyue say coldly, "You can leave now. I will settle your wages right away."
"Boss, you better think it through." Dacheng said with a dead pig fearless look, "Without me, your restaurant will be without a chef."
"You stole my recipes and sold them, and stole my store's profits, and I turned a blind eye. If you don't accept my toast again, I guarantee that no restaurant will dare to hire you in the future." He paused, "Do you really think I don't know the dirty things you did behind my back? If you don't want to be in trouble in the future, hurry up and get your wages, you bastard, otherwise, I will make you pay the price."
Gu Yanyue was clearly smiling when she said this, but there was no smile in her eyes. When the cook saw that what he had done was exposed, he took his wages and ran away.
The trouble was resolved, but the restaurant also lost its chef. Gu Yanyue was upset, but she thought it was not good to be away from the palace for a long time, so she didn't think too much about it and hurried back to the palace.
