Chapter 76 A Couple

If Si Li knew what the person next to her was thinking, she would definitely tell him that the light in his eyes came entirely from the workers' anticipation of not having to go to work.

She didn't realize that "Jiang Lang" looked strange. She felt a little ashamed when she talked about the idea of ​​retiring to the countryside. Maybe it was because the moonlight was too good, or maybe it was because she had too many thoughts in her mind. Si Li said self-deprecatingly, "Do you think it's strange that I think this way? I don't want to get married, I don't want to be an ordinary person, I just want to live an ordinary life."

"No." Jiang Hengyun said, "If possible, I would also like to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to live, and be accompanied by leisurely clouds and wild cranes. But... why don't you go home to live and return home with wealth and wealth?"

Si Li's heart skipped a beat, and she wondered for a moment if he had seen through her identity. She had never intended to hide it from the powerful. She would have known who the owner of Wanglaiju was by going to Jingzhao Yin to check. This "return home" should only mean the Si Mansion, but inexplicably, she felt that he was not asking about returning to the Si Mansion.

"He's not an important person. There's no point in returning home with wealth and glory." Si Li laughed it off. Seeing that "Jiang Lang" didn't continue to ask questions, she felt relieved and turned her thoughts to another place.

As the only son of the King of Yue, the crown prince who had been asked to be crowned, and the future King of Yue, saying such words was almost equivalent to being tired of the entire political life. Si Li heard his own confused heartbeat. If this person was also willing to live in seclusion, it seemed that there could be one more person in the future vision.

At Jiang Lang's age, he should have been engaged, but it seems that because the Crown Prince is not engaged yet, the marriage of the same generation of the royal family has been postponed. Nowadays, it is normal for young men to marry young girls, but "Jiang Lang" has no one else around except his sister...

Realizing that she was daydreaming again, Si Li shook her head. Her mind was so confused that when she heard the question "What are you thinking about?", she blurted out, "I think monogamy is enough. If I can't meet someone I like, I'd rather not get married. But why do you?"

"No, no, no." Si Li cursed himself for being quick-witted. He quickly stood up and stepped back three feet before he spoke to defend himself, "Don't think too much, my lord. I didn't mean anything else. I just said it casually. It's so late now. I'll take my leave now—"

"Heh." The young man tapped the empty space with his fingers. His beautiful knuckles attracted Si Li's gaze. Jiang Hengyun looked at her wandering gaze with some interest. When the blush on Si Li's ear tip rose to her cheek, he spoke slowly, "There are too many people and too many things to do. There is no other benefit. If there is no love, what is the point of getting married? I think you are right."

He suddenly spoke with some sarcasm, "In the past, His Majesty also promised monogamy to one man and one woman. I wonder if you have heard of it."

Before Si Li could react, Jiang Hengyun stood up and went out first, "It's late, I'll take you home."

Si Li thought of the imperial concubine in the palace now. She heard that she was quite favored and felt sympathetic. Sure enough, she still had to stay away from the palace, right?

The moonlight still shone through the glass onto the kitchen floor, but no one was there to admire it. The small door between the two restaurants was still open, and Xiao Que, who was guarding the door, yawned. Wang Ting, who was standing next to him, looked at the young man beside the shopkeeper with a wary look in his eyes.

Si Li thanked them for their concern and asked them to go and rest first. She turned around and said goodbye to "Jiang Lang" at the small door, and reiterated, "I really only regard you as a friend, Prince. Please don't misunderstand me." Even if she had unrealistic thoughts, she cut them off in time, didn't she!

Jiang Hengyun tapped his lips and said, "Yeah."

He reached out his hand and stroked Si Li's hair. Si Li dodged subconsciously for a moment, and the blush on her face that had finally faded away reappeared. She stammered, "What, what's wrong?"

Jiang Hengyun opened his palm and said calmly, "Small leaves."

There was indeed half a fallen leaf in her slender palm, and she didn't know when it flew in. Si Li laughed at herself for overthinking, "Thank you."

When she returned to her own room, Si Li suddenly recalled a classic scene from an idol drama she had seen in her previous life, where a boy used actions like picking leaves and flowers to tease girls. It seemed, seemed, probably, somewhat similar to her own situation today?

No way? No matter how close the prince of Yue is to the queen, he is just an ancient man. How could he know such complicated tricks?

Si Li buried herself in the quilt to dissipate the heat. When she calmed down, it was already quiet outside. Only then did she have time to take a look at the system.

[Dish bonus "Recalling the bitter past and thinking of the sweet past": After use, the eater's chance of recalling the past increases by 50%, the chance of recalling negative experiences increases by 50%, and the chance of recalling positive experiences increases by 50%. ]

"This thing seems a bit of a rip-off..." Si Li sighed softly. Unlike the previous "Smile" bonus, people usually eat to feel happy and comfortable. This increases the chance of recalling the past by half, but 50% of it may be a bad past. Who would recognize the residence if they think of the bad past? !

No, no, this bonus is about to be abolished.

There is another reward for the two tasks, and the achievement point gift package is marked with "100 to 100,000 achievement points can be opened", which means that it must be lucky or dead. Si Li still has some trust in her luck. She rubbed her hands to get rid of the non-existent luck, and then opened the achievement point gift package with her mind.

The system's special effects are quite fancy, not much different from the pop-up windows of small games on the page. After the virtual fireworks are over, the system prompts that the adultery is coming late.

[System: Congratulations to the host for obtaining 8888 achievement points. ]

It wasn't too bad, but it was still far from the grand prize. However, with the achievement points that Si Li had earned herself, her wallet was now in the five figures, and she was finally no longer the poor little person who couldn't afford the most expensive one-star recipes.

Si Li was in a good mood, looking at the task module, "Attack! Wanglaiju!" The task was completed in the third round. With the crazy rush in the day and afternoon, the sales of milk tea seemed to be counted in the sales. Now there was only a little more than a thousand to complete the task. Judging from the reputation of Wuweilou, as long as Wanglaiju accepted the invitation from the girls' school, its reputation would be even greater. There would be no need to worry about not having customers, and the three-star menu would be at your fingertips. There was no need to worry about the old tasks, but the newly refreshed tasks made Si Li sit up suddenly from the bed.

[System: "An ordinary chef", every chef god had a life as an ordinary person before becoming a god, and the title of an ordinary chef is also a great honor for a rookie. Please complete the following tasks within three days.

A. Gain approval from one thousand people (completed), B. Make one thousand strips of sweet potato shreds (121/1000), C. Cut ten thousand potatoes (0/10000).

Mission time remaining: 2 days and 1 hour.

Reward: Cooking skill is upgraded by one level, Punishment: Cooking skill is reduced by one level. 】

Oh my goodness! Si Li felt her hands were shaking. Is she going to be promoted to level 2?! The only level 2 chef I have ever seen, Li Xiuhe, also studied for three years and practiced for many more years before she became a level 2 chef. Isn’t she moving too fast?

Looking at the task countdown again, Si Li suddenly felt a heart attack. The task was released suddenly. It was her fault that she didn't check it during the day, which made people busy. According to this count, I'm afraid I have to start selling shredded sweet potatoes from tomorrow morning, and I won't be able to sell them all until the day after tomorrow. Maybe there will be leftovers. A plate of shredded sweet potatoes is half a tael of silver. Although she is sure that she can perform steadily with the support of the system, it is almost like destroying her reputation to waste it by selling unlimited quantities.

Si Li covered her heart and gritted her teeth to buy the "Qinfen Popping Candy" from the mall. The feeling of being drained after eating it last time was still vivid in her mind, but she had to admit that it was indeed one of the best in improving efficiency. If she wanted to complete the task in a short time, she couldn't do without it.

After preparing the props, Si Li got up at night and knocked on Wang Ting's door. "Let Ah Sheng go to Guan Ji to deliver a message early tomorrow morning. I will avoid people and will not go to Guan Ji for a few days. Let them learn by themselves. Also, don't let Guan the shopkeeper and the young master come over to avoid troubles caused by too many people.

Go ask the shopkeeper Tang. If you can supply milk tea, then supply it. If you can't supply it, please tell me. It's not like I don't know how to make it. We can make it ourselves first. It's just that it's a bit ugly without the cups. We'll talk about it in the next two days. By the way, put a table and bench outside the wall painted by Taotao, and put some white water. Tomorrow, Ah Sheng and his men will come with people. Someone should watch the wall to make sure it doesn't get damaged.

Then, starting from tomorrow, for more than a day, Wanglaiju will only sell French fries and sweet potatoes. We will say that Miss Meng has returned home from studying abroad, and we are celebrating for her. We will not limit the sales, but only sell for two days. No more."

Without Meng Taotao, Wanglaiju was like missing half a manager. Xiao Que was just a laborer, and she just needed to watch over everyone and not make trouble. Si Li had no intention of letting her take care of the affairs. Si Li had to rely on pop candy to work overtime, so all the chores were handed over to Wang Ting. He gave orders wherever he thought of, and he scolded Wang Ting all the time, which made Wang Ting, who had just fallen asleep and was called up again with an impatient look, a little confused.

"What are you doing? Isn't it because it's limited edition that the price is increased?"

Even the honorifics came out, and it seemed that he was really shocked. Si Li smiled bitterly and said, "I have some feelings about what happened today. Maybe my cooking skills will improve again. I need to practice more to avoid the opportunity slipping away. I also had this happen once during the previous Buddhist meeting. If I don't respond when I call you, then don't bother. I will stay at home for the next two days. There will be many people who need help in the kitchen. Otherwise, the food can only be packed up and taken away, so you don't have to worry about it."

"I'm afraid that's not appropriate." Wang Ting entered the working state, thought for a moment and said, "It's okay to only sell two kinds of food. We still have to prepare for dine-in. I just need to wash the dishes. I heard that Ah Sheng and his team will bring people tomorrow, so it should be enough to handle it."

"Well, I'll leave it to you then." Si Li stood on tiptoe and patted his shoulder, then turned around and went back to catch up on some sleep.

A bright moon hung in the sky. The man in black standing guard in the shadowy corner saw everything that happened in the courtyard and left quickly with a few leaps.

It was late at night, and the imperial city was completely silent. Following the secret passage of the Prince of Yue's mansion back to the palace, Jiang Hengyun had taken off his mask, revealing his true face, with an elegant demeanor. He took off his brocade robe and cloak, and walked into the warm study room.

Zhong Liuru, who was sorting documents for him in the pavilion, stood up when he heard the voice and handed over two most important memorials. "One is a letter from the mountain people of Qiongzhou, Yunyue, and the other is a message from the admiral of the navy..."

Under the heavy burden of the mountains and rivers, Jiang Hengyun's originally relaxed brows furrowed a little more. Zhong Liuru observed his expression and said with a smile, "Your Highness has encountered a good thing, and I shouldn't bother you. However, Baili is urgent and needs your review."
