Zhao Qianqian never expected that she would cause such a big battle.
First, Manager Bai of Taibai Restaurant made sarcastic remarks to Madam Gu, and then her cousin Chen Shu launched a full-scale attack on Manager Bai.
Manager Bai was about to take action when he was unexpectedly injured by Madam Gu.
The man grabbed a shovel from somewhere, and if Manager Bai hadn't dodged quickly, she might not have been able to save her right hand.
Something warm splashed onto her face. Zhao Qianqian frantically touched her face and couldn't help but scream when she saw the bright red blood.
The way they looked at Madam Gu was different now.
This woman actually committed murder in broad daylight. How terrifying!
Bai Qiaoyin never expected that she would be injured by Gu An'an before she even touched the clothes of the daughter of Prefect Chen.
The murderous aura was too fierce; she couldn't dodge it in time...
The shirt on his right forearm ripped open, revealing a section of his arm, from which blood spurted out.
Anger and even fear surged into my heart all at once.
Bai Qiaoyin was not feeling well.
She didn't even notice how Gu An'an made her move.
He hurt himself!
That's impossible; she was absolutely certain that this woman didn't know martial arts.
Her steps were very light and unsteady, indicating she was not a martial artist.
However, this is precisely what makes it terrifying.
The other diners in the restaurant initially found it amusing to watch the women arguing, but little did they know that it almost escalated into a murder case. This was really no fun at all.
Some of the more timid ones had already run out with their bowls.
Gu An'an looked guilty. "I'm so sorry, I hope I didn't hurt Manager Bai? I have a short temper and sometimes I can't control my emotions. I hope Manager Bai understands and won't come looking for trouble with me, otherwise I won't be able to control my temper and I don't know who will be more unlucky."
This isn't an apology, it's clearly blackmail!
Bai Qiaoyin was furious and wished she could beat Gu An'an up, but then she thought that if she had made another mistake, it wouldn't have been her arm that got hurt, but her neck.
"I've noted what happened today. We'll see how things go."
Gu An'an watched the person leave, clutching their arm, and waved goodbye, saying, "Goodbye and don't bother seeing me out."
Turning back to look at the diners in the restaurant, her delicate face showed a hint of guilt. "I'm so sorry to have ruined everyone's appetite. This meal is on me today, and I'll refund everyone's money later."
It was already a 50% discount, and now it's completely free.
This made the group of patrons a little embarrassed. "No need, no need. It's just that it's not easy for a woman like you to run a shop. You should still be careful."
"That's right. Taibai Restaurant is a Lin family business. The taste was alright in the early years, but it's become rather uninteresting in recent years. Last year they even introduced a dish of braised pork in fermented rice wine, which was really delicious. It's a pity that the braised pork in fermented rice wine is no longer available after Manager Lin left. It's really disgusting."
As the diner was speaking, he suddenly remembered that Master Zhao's daughter was still here, and he quickly fell silent.
After all, the Zhao family's daughter and the Lin family are related by marriage.
Zhao Qianqian was stunned. It took her a long time to come to her senses. She lifted her skirt and ran outside, shouting, "Murder!"
The scream made Chen Shu frown. She wondered how her aunt had raised her, that someone so old could still be so easily flustered.
"Today's events started because of me, and I hope the boss won't take offense."
Gu An'an looked at the silver ingots placed on the table and felt that she was not angry at all. What could be more gratifying than making money?
Even if this "Golden Jade Abundance" is delicious, you couldn't earn this much money even if you sold it for three days.
As expected of the daughter of the prefect, she is indeed generous and quick to spend.
"Please take care, esteemed guest. Come visit again when you have time."
The last sentence was purely out of habit, so much so that when she actually heard someone respond, Gu An'an froze.
Why did you have to say something like that?
A carriage from Anzhou City carried the two young sisters away.
Amid the rumble of wheels, Feng Yue spoke, "That woman is so strange."
"Who? You mean Bai Qiaoyin? She's actually from an official family. Her parents were convicted and she ended up in that filthy place. Later, she was rescued by Lin Zixing and fell in love with him. I think she would have agreed immediately if Lin Zixing asked her to marry a peddler."
“I’m not talking about her.” Feng Yue hadn’t paid much attention at the time, but later she still couldn’t figure it out. “Where did she get her weapon? And she looks very strange.”
Chen Shu then realized, "You mean that Lady Gu? Her cooking is really good. I'll go eat there again when I have time."
She had no interest in martial arts and had no intention of bringing it up at all.
"But Auntie is really something. Back then, in order to protect her own position, she conspired with that fortune teller to say that Qianqian could bring wealth to the Zhao family. Although it turned out to be a lucky coincidence, how could she let Qianqian be so unruly? How will she manage the household after she gets married? Wouldn't that make her a laughing stock among the other sisters-in-law?"
Feng Yue looked at her friend, who was disappointed in her, and said, "Then she should marry the only son. Besides, she can bring wealth to the Zhao family now, so I'm afraid your uncle won't let her get married."
These words left Chen Shu speechless for a moment before she finally spoke: "A-Yue, have you noticed that the young man in Madam Gu's shop is quite unusual?"
"Really? I didn't notice."
Chen Shu was quite helpless when she heard this. "So what did you notice?"
Feng Yue smiled. "What does it matter to me what he looks like? Could it be that you, Shu'er, like that young man?"
Chen Shu blushed slightly at her friend's joke. "What nonsense are you talking about? I just think he looks so otherworldly, how come he's working as a waiter in this snack shop?"
Whether she likes it or not is not that important at all.
Although her parents had always doted on her, she could only let them decide her marriage.
How can a daughter decide her own marriage?
...
After the last guest left, Gu An'an tidied up her things in the backyard and prepared to close the gate and go home.
Su Sanniang from next door stood at the door and said with a smile, "Madam Gu, your business is really booming. I was thinking of going to try something new here later, but I didn't expect to be a little late."
You can't hit a smiling face, and Gu An'an doesn't have the habit of making enemies everywhere. "All the ingredients I prepared have been sold out, so I have to go home and get busy."
"Oh, such a good business! You'll have to hire a few more helpers, Madam Gu. You can't do everything yourself."
It's hard to say whether Su San Niang's suggestion was well-intentioned or if she had other plans, but Gu An An did have an idea. Once a shop is opened, it can't be open one day at a time, even though it's her own shop and there's no issue of wasting rent.
But to retain customers, you need to go the distance.
Hiring people was already in the plan, but how to hire people and how many people to hire is another business matter.
Gu An'an took a deep breath. "That makes sense. You too, Third Sister, don't overwork yourself, otherwise no amount of makeup can cover up the fine lines around your eyes."
Su San Niang's smile froze upon hearing this.
No matter when, women don't like being told they're old.
