Chapter 85 Eating
"My lord, I'm going to have a look inside the restaurant tomorrow, and I'll take the opportunity to add some new dishes."

"Okay, my king will accompany you."

Chu Yun stroked Zhao Yinger's soft hair. He went to the palace to report the situation today and then went to find Chu Huaiyuan, but Chu Huaiyuan still had a smiling and kind look on his face. Came back with doubts.

The two of them chatted for a few more hours, until the next day. On the second day, Zhao Ying'er got up early. After getting up, she ate a few mouthfuls of food and then went to the restaurant to have a look.

At this time, Chu Yun had not returned from the palace, so she went to the restaurant with A-Lian.

On the way, Zhao Ying'er saw that A-Lian was always smiling, and occasionally lowered her head shyly.

"Alian, what made you so happy, did Amo give you a gift?"

"Ah, no, the prince said, he said..."

Speaking of this, A-Lian couldn't continue. How should she say it? After all, it was a matter of her daughter's family. Last night, Ah Mo came to her and said that the prince had agreed to their marriage and asked him to choose a good day to get married.

Marriage is a lifelong event, she must be very happy.

"Ah Mo said he wanted to marry me."

"When? Bless you all."

"Ah Mo said that the wedding will be held after the auspicious date is chosen."

"Then your wedding room is ready?"

"Miss, Ah Mo said that the prince gave him a house, just wait for him to buy some furniture."

"That's good. When you get married, I will also prepare a dowry for you. After all, you have been with me for so many years, and our relationship is like good friends."

"Miss, you are very kind."

A-Lian looked at Zhao Yinger's smile full of intimacy, at this moment she doubted herself again, now she felt that the lady in front of her was still the one who treated her as her own.

"I'm also very happy that you can get married and find such a good person. I'm waiting to drink your wedding wine."

The two chatted and arrived at the restaurant. They walked in and found that it was empty and there were no customers.

It's still early, and it's not yet noon, and there will be guests coming over for dinner at noon.

Zhao Ying'er took a look at the restaurant, and found that the room was quite big, with two floors, and the upper floor was a private room.

The floor of the house is clean, the table is also new, with new chopsticks on it, the windows are open, and the ventilation in the house is good.

She walked to the back kitchen and saw that the chefs were busy, some were chopping vegetables, some were cooking meat, and they were all preparing for noon.

The manager of the restaurant was a middle-aged man named Zhang Da. When he saw Zhao Yinger coming in, he asked, "Girl, what are you going to eat?"

Seeing Zhao Yinger staring at the back kitchen, he smiled knowingly: "Don't worry, girl, our food here is very clean and hygienic, you can just eat it with confidence."

Zhao Ying'er took a look at the cleanliness of the kitchen, it was indeed very clean, but she didn't come to eat, but came to see her own restaurant, but before looking at it, let's try the chef's skills here.

"Send a few special dishes from your store."

"Okay, girl, please sit down and wait for a while, I will come right away."

Zhao Yinger found a seat by the window and sat down. The street was outside the window. Since the location of the restaurant was not bad, there was quite a lot of traffic outside, and there were also stalls selling things outside.

Sitting in front of the window and watching the people coming and going outside, there are all kinds of people on the street, some are well-dressed, some are in tatters, some are elderly, some are running children, some are as old as flowers teenage girl with pregnant woman.

Among them was a thin-cheeked, yellow-faced, thin-skinned woman who was holding a child. Her eyes were dull and her clothes were old and worn. She walked to the stall selling steamed buns and said, "Boss, take pity on our mothers." Well, we haven't eaten for days."

The boss looked at them with distaste, and said with disdain: "Go, go, don't stand in front of my booth and delay my business."

The woman's voice was full of tears: "Boss, you can do as long as you want. When I have money, I will definitely give you the bun money."

"You think I'm doing charity. You come to me every day to ask for buns. The little money I earn is not enough to support a family. Hurry up and go to that newly opened restaurant to ask for some food."

Seeing the resolute attitude of selling buns, the woman had no choice but to walk away with the child.

She hasn't had a bite of food since yesterday, and she and the child are already so hungry that they want to dig through the trash.

She glanced at the restaurant, she had been here the day before yesterday, but the people in the restaurant drove her away.

For a person like her who has no money and is so poor that she begs for food, who can think highly of her.

The woman wiped her tears, and walked towards the restaurant again. She knew that there were no customers in the restaurant yet, but she wanted to try, and she could get a steamed bun to fill her stomach.

She led the child to the door of the restaurant and looked inside. At this moment, the child whispered: "Mom, I'm hungry, I want to eat steamed buns."

"Wait a while, see if mother can get steamed buns from here."

The woman stood at the door, stretched her head and looked inside, she happened to see Zhao Yinger, she saw that Zhao Yinger was wearing good clothes, her skin was as white as snow, her eyes were bright, her fingers were thin and tender, she looked like she was rich My lady.

And judging by her appearance, she is a kind person, maybe if you ask her, she can give her a bite.

The woman was about to walk in with the child, but the waiter who was chatting saw it and yelled: "What are you doing? Get out, get out quickly, don't disturb our business."

The woman put on a bitter look, and begged in a low voice: "Please do me a favor, give us a bite."

"We just opened the door today, and only one table of guests came, and the food hasn't even been served, so you come to beg for food, go out and wait."

The shop waiter saw that the woman was very pitiful, so she felt pity, thinking that after Zhao Yinger had eaten, she would give her anything left.

But the manager of the restaurant came out after hearing the noise and said, "Why is it you again? Didn't I give you food a few days ago? Why are you here again?"

"Okay, okay, I'm really hungry, and the child hasn't had a full meal for several days, so please give us some more food."

There were still tears on the woman's face, and she raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes again, as if she was in distress, and finally she hesitated and said: "You also know my situation, I really have no other choice, you also know Shi Wulang character, he has been sending people to watch me."

"No, no, let's go."

With a mournful expression on her face, the woman looked at Zhao Yinger, hoping that Zhao Yinger could help her.

After Zhao Yinger saw it, she really said, "Come here, I happen to have more dishes than I can finish, so let's have dinner together."

The woman walked over gratefully, but she didn't dare to sit down when she got to the front and back of the table, for fear of being rejected by others.

Zhao Ying'er saw her thoughts and said, "Sit down, it's fine."

Only then did the woman sit down with her child. Her child was only five or six years old. Although the clothes were worn out, the clothes were clean.

Zhao Yinger asked: "Where is your home? How could you wander outside with your child?"

As soon as the woman heard this, she felt sad, and she said: "It's hard to say. I originally came to join my relatives, but Shi Wulang fell in love with me. I swore to the death and married the person I liked, but he was behind my back." My husband was killed, my husband’s house was occupied, and my mother and son were homeless. I wanted to find a job and earn some money to support my children, but he always made things difficult for me. Every time I found a job, He will come forward to tell others not to use me. I have no food and no money every day, so I sleep in an old house where other people don’t live, but he still refuses to let me go. He just wants to marry me into the old house. As a concubine in the mansion, I feel like throwing up when I see his fat pig face, but I just won't give in to him."

"Then since you're having a bad time here, why don't you go home?"

Zhao Yinger asked.

The woman replied: "I have no relatives in my family. My parents only had me when they were 50 years old. They took the risk to give birth to me. When I grew up, they were also old. My father died of a serious illness a few years ago. died, and my mother passed away because of excessive grief, I just came here to join my aunt, and I didn't expect to encounter such a thing."

Zhao Ying'er looked at the woman carefully, and saw that although she was a little malnourished, she still had good-looking facial features, with big eyes, a straight nose, and a face the size of a palm.

Also a miserable woman.

she sighed.

"Why don't you go to the yamen and sue him, the place where the Son of Heaven preaches the law, he has already committed a serious crime by murdering people, and he dares to bully the women of the people, it is really abominable."

"It's useless, he's rich, colluded with officials in the DPRK, and I sued him, but not only did they not avenge me, they also said that I made trouble for no reason, slandered good people for misbehavior, and beat me [-] times Throw out the big board, and I had no choice but to beg for food on the street with my children."

Zhao Ying'er felt that the woman was a bit pitiful, so she decided to help her.

"Shi Wulang you said, he killed your husband, do you have any evidence?"

"evidence?"

The woman fell into memories. She remembered that on the day her husband died, she was called out by the historians, saying that they asked him to go out for a drink, but after going out, she never came back, and she didn't even know where the body was thrown.

"It was people from the Shi family who asked my husband to go out that day, and they never came back after they went out. The next day, Shi Wulang ran over and said arrogantly, if I don't follow him again, he will kill my child too. , I was so angry that I picked up a stick and drove him away. Since then, I have brought my child with me every day, and he did not take my child by force, tortured me every day, and made me report to him. She surrendered."

Just relying on what the woman said verbally is not enough to convict Shi Wulang, it would be great if there were witnesses.

"Then when your husband went out with them, someone saw it."

"Yes, my neighbor saw it. I didn't want him to go out with the Shi family that day. I knew they had bad intentions, but we couldn't offend them, so we let my husband go. I didn't expect that this would be a farewell. .”

The woman started to cry again as she talked, and at this time the food was served, and the manager of the restaurant persuaded Zhao Yinger: "Girl, even if you are kind, you can't take care of her affairs. She offended the rich businessman Shi Wulang, unless Someone you know has a lot of rights, otherwise you wouldn't be able to help her."

"Since Shi Wulang harmed someone, he is guilty. We are justified. Are we afraid that they will fail?"

What Zhao Yinger said was very confident. She believed that this place taught the Fa.

Seeing the woman crying sadly with tears all over her face, she took out the handkerchief and handed it to the woman to wipe her tears.

But the woman's son saw the table full of food, and kept swallowing his saliva. For him, he had only seen other people eat these foods, but he had never eaten them.

Zhao Ying'er picked up the chopsticks and put the meat and vegetables in the child's bowl. The child devoured it hungrily. This might be the best meal he had in his life.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Yanhong."

"Yan Hong, you eat first. As for your husband's murder and your being bullied, I will definitely help you get an explanation."

The manager of the restaurant snorted coldly when he heard Zhao Yinger's words. This girl probably didn't know the heights of heaven and earth, but Shi Wulang transported boxes of silver to give gifts to those officials. He was related to the officials and wanted to bring her down. Easier said than done.

"Girl, I'm afraid you don't know that Shi Wulang is not easy to mess with. Don't get into trouble just because of a momentary kindness."

"As long as I am reasonable, why should I be afraid? It has always been that evil does not overpower righteousness, and reason travels all over the world."

Yes, this girl is quite stubborn.

The manager of the restaurant smiled: "Then you have to be careful, I'm afraid his people are already eyeing you."

"I'm not afraid."

Zhao Yinger asked Yan Hong to eat first, and she stood up, because she was not too hungry after eating in the morning, but just wanted to taste the chef's cooking.

The food cooked by this chef looks pretty good, smells good, and looks good at cooking.

She instantly felt that her worries were a little unnecessary. Chu Yun is a majestic prince who has done business in several countries, so the person he chooses must be the best.

When she was about to clarify her identity with the restaurant manager, she saw Chu Yun walking in. He passed the restaurant manager and came straight to Zhao Yinger, smiling gently at her.

"Why did you come out by yourself, didn't you agree to come here together?"

"I saw that you didn't come back for a long time, so I ran over in a hurry. I was impatient."

The manager of the restaurant had never met Chu Yun, nor did he know Chu Yun, but he knew Ah Mo who was beside Chu Yun, and he knew that it was Ah Mo who asked him to manage the restaurant.

But looking at Ah Mo's appearance, he looks like a servant in front of Chu Yun, which means that Chu Yun is the owner of this restaurant, and this woman seems to have an unusual relationship with the owner. Could it be that she is the owner's wife.

Thinking of this, he hurried over with a smile on his face, as if he was waiting to be dispatched.

"Who are these two?"

At a glance, Chu Yun saw Alian sitting with two people in shabby clothes, and the table was full of delicious food. It seemed that his concubine was doing good deeds again. He really did not misunderstand his concubine. She is really a kind woman.

"They had nowhere to go, and they hadn't eaten, so I asked them to come and eat together."

Zhao Ying'er hurriedly said that she took advantage of Chu Yun's presence to tell what happened to the mother and son, so that Chu Yun could understand the grievances they suffered.
