Chapter 98
Actually, there was nothing wrong with it. It was just inviting him to a meal.
After a pause, Jiang Yun Zhu continued, "Tonight, do you want to stay and have dinner?"
"Okay." Shen Feng Ming agreed. His voice had a ring in it.
Zhang He and the others stayed behind. Shen Feng Ming and Yang Sheng had something to do, so they left first.
As soon as they exited, Yang Sheng grinningly asked Shen Feng Ming, "You guys are, right?"
He looked like he already knew it.
"She's different from us." Shen Feng Ming stated seriously.
Yang Sheng smiled. Jiang Yun Zhu was indeed different from them. It could even be said that she and them were from two worlds.
"Then what are you going to do in the future?" Yang Sheng asked.
Shen Feng Ming didn't want to talk to him anymore. He got on the horse and went back to Division.
"Hey..." Yang Sheng stamped his feet. He hadn't finished asking.
The store and yard were under renovation. In the evening, Jiang Yun Zhu was only going to cook some home-cooked dishes.
During the evening, the decoration workers all left.
Yun Du and the others left. But before they left, they cleaned out an empty room and tidied up the yard. They had heard, Jiang Yun Zhu was going to cook and eat here tonight. How could the surroundings be messy?
They were physically strong. Doing it wasn't a problem for them at all.
Jiang Yun Zhu could see their thoughts and began to like these employees.
In the afternoon, He Ying went to the vegetable market to buy groceries. It was almost time now. Jiang Yun Zhu washed her hands, drank some water, and started cooking.
First steam the rice. Then she began to chop vegetables.
After a while, the vegetables were cut. Someone knocked on the door outside. When the door opened, it was Yang Sheng and Shen Feng Ming.
"I brought you a bag of tea." Yang Sheng said and handed the tea in his hand to Jiang Yun Zhu. Jiang Yun Zhu's cooking was delicious. However, the tea wasn't very good. He happened to get a new pack of tea. So he brought it over.
Jiang Yun Zhu knew that this bag of tea must be of great value. She did not refuse his offer though. She accepted the tea, "It’ll be ready soon," she said.
"No rush." Yang Sheng cheerfully said. He was here for the meal. It was good that Jiang Yun Zhu didn't dislike him.
The three of them entered the yard together. Jiang Yun Zhu continued to cook. After a while, the sound of cooking was heard. Accompanied by a little smoke, the smell of food came out of the kitchen.
Yang Sheng was overjoyed. Counting the time, he hadn't eaten Jiang Yun Zhu's food for half a year since the new end until now.
He missed the life in the courtyard in Changshi Village! Leisurely and comfortable with delicious food every day. Unlike now, where he was tired as a dog.
By the time Jiang Yun Zhu finished cooking, Shen Feng Ming and Yang Sheng had already set up the tables, chairs, and even the cutleries.
She smiled. This was the reason why she was willing to get along with them. Although they were sons of aristocratic families, they didn't have that sense of superiority. It made people feel very comfortable.
Four dishes and one soup. It was already early summer. All kinds of vegetables and fruits appeared on the market one after another. The weather was neither too hot nor too cold. It was perfect to wear a thin shirt. This was Jiang Yun Zhu's favorite season every year.
One dish of sweet and sour pork ribs, one dish of multicolored beef tenderloin, one dish of sauteed mushroom and broccoli, one dish of pearl tofu, and a bowl of seaweed egg drop soup.
The color, flavor, and taste were great. Although it was ordinary home-cooking, Jiang Yun Zhu's cooking was excellent and gave it a different feel.
Yang Sheng tasted the sweet and sour pork ribs and sighed that it was delicious.
Afterward, he acted like a person who had been starved for three or four days and started to eat with big mouthfuls.
Sometimes people were very strange. The same meal may not have much to it when eaten alone. But having someone who ate with great relish nearby, it felt much more delicious because one may not be able to snatch the dish if they were slow.
Before she knew it, Jiang Yun Zhu ate a lot of food.
Yang Sheng leaned directly against the chair. Originally, he wanted to have a sip of tea, but now, there was no room in his stomach.
After eating and drinking enough, the three chatted.
It will be the Dragon Boat Festival in a few days. The capital will definitely be very lively...
Jiang Yun Zhu was a little stuffed, propped her head on her hands, and leaned back in the chair.
At this moment, her brows and eyes were slightly drooping. She softly chipped in from time to time. Though she wasn't as radiant as she was during the day, she was as soft and gentle as flowing water.
Shen Feng Ming's gaze fell on her. Like ice meeting water, he slowly softened.
The night sky was like water. Jiang Yun Zhu got up to serve tea. When she came back, Yang Sheng had already disappeared.
"Where did he go?" She asked.
Shen Feng Ming was coming back from the entrance, "It's getting late, he went back first."
It was getting late, so she said, "Official Shen, shouldn’t you also leave too?"
At this moment, Shen Feng Ming had already walked up to her. His tall figure completely enveloped her.
Jiang Yun Zhu wisely stopped calling him that.
She handed him the teapot in her hand, separating the two of them.
Of course Shen Feng Ming knew about her thoughts. He accepted the teapot and looked down at her.
His eyes were bright and almost completely imprisoned her in that world.
He was very close to her. It seemed that if he lowered his head a little, he could touch her lips.
He didn't do that though. He just stared at her like that.
It couldn’t be that he was waiting for her to kiss him, was he? This idea flashed across Jiang Yun Zhu's mind out of nowhere. She was amused as well as a little annoyed at the same time.
"I'm going back to the inn." She stated. The renovation here wasn't finished yet. She had to go back to the inn for accommodation.
Shen Feng Ming frowned.
It couldn’t be that he was really waiting for her to kiss him?
Jiang Yun Zhu called out, "He Ying, Shi Liu, back to the inn."
He Ying and Shi Liu came out from behind and looked at each other.
With other people present, Jiang Yun Zhu became much more courageous. She escaped from his shadow and said, "Official Shen, it's getting late. I'm going back to the inn. You should go back early and rest."
When she said this, there was a gleam in her eyes.
Seeing this, Shen Feng Ming smiled and his voice returned to the previous clarity and melodiousness, "I'll take you back."
With the help of Yun Du and the others, the renovation of the store was carried out in an orderly manner. It was even faster than Jiang Yun Zhu expected.
After more than half a month passed, the store was finally mostly renovated.
Jiang Yun Zhu looked around and was very satisfied. The decoration effect was similar to what she had imagined.
Yun Du and the others were very surprised. This was, a restaurant? Why did it feel completely different from ordinary restaurants?
There was an advantage in ancient times. The things used for decoration were harmless. Even the paint was natural. There was no need to worry about any harmful gas. Therefore, after the decoration of the store, it only needed to dissipate the smell for a few days before moving in.
On this day, Jiang Yun Zhu was going to move to the backyard of the store. She had been living in the inn. There was only so much space. Quite inconvenient.
On this day, Gu Yan Zhou and Xie Chen came back from Wuling County with Xue Jing, Mrs. Ruan, and Xie Lian in tow.
"Boss." Xue Jing shouted excitedly when he saw Jiang Yun Zhu.
He felt that the most correct decision he made in his life was to accept Jiang Yun Zhu's employment. Initially, he thought that if one day Jiang Yun Zhu could go to Lu Prefecture to open a restaurant, he could bask in glory too. Unexpectedly, he underestimated his boss. Jiang Yun Zhu's restaurant directly opened to the capital.
And he followed to the capital!
Sure enough, the capital was booming with production and rich people. He couldn't wait for the challenge here.
When Jiang Yun Zhu saw him, she felt closeness.
Everyone chatted. Gu Yan Zhou talked about what happened when he and Xie Chen returned to Wuling County.
Qishanju was well taken care of by Li He. Jiang Yun Zhu could rest assured. It was just that Gu Qi Feng would have to wait a month before he could go to the capital.
Jiang Yun Zhu asked why.
Gu Yan Zhou only said that he beat Xie Yong and was sentenced to one month in prison. As for the reason, he did not elaborate.
Jiang Yun Zhu discovered when he said this, he seemed to glance at Xie Lian. She noticed Xie Lian.
Xie Lian seemed to have become silent again.
What exactly was going on? She looked at Xue Jing. He had been in Wuling County, maybe he knew something.
Actually, Xue Jing wasn't very clear about it. Taking advantage of when everyone was distracted, he quietly made a gesture with Jiang Yun Zhu.
After spending so long with him, Jiang Yun Zhu immediately understood what he meant. Gu Qi Feng and Xie Lian... Jiang Yun Zhu suddenly thought of that incident. Then everything seemed to be connected.
Gu Qi Feng liked Xie Lian, and when he found out about that, he naturally hated Xie Yong.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yun Zhu looked at Xie Chen. Did he know about this?
She didn't pay attention just now. Now she did. When she looked at Xie Chen carefully, she found that he seemed to be different from before. In the past, he was restrained by Xie Yong and often frowned as if he was preoccupied. Later, when Xie Yong went to prison, Xie Lian was able to speak and his brows relaxed.
Now, his brows were relaxed, but there was something hidden in his eyes.
Hiding what? Jiang Yun Zhu couldn't grasp it and gave up.
That incident must have hit him hard. She only hoped that he would be fine.
"If you need any help, you can tell me." Seemingly casually, she said this.
Xie Chen seemed to have his heart moved. He turned to Xie Lian.
But, in the end, he didn't say anything.
Jiang Yun Zhu didn't continue talking. Some things weren't good if brought to the surface.
After talking about Gu Yan Zhou and Xie Chen’s side, they talked about Jiang Yun Zhu’s matter.
Hearing that Jiang Yun Zhu's store had been renovated, everyone would naturally go to have a look.
Walking along the street to the end of the street, the first thing they saw was a pool of clear water with a few white lotuses floating amidst the secret fragrance. Compared with pink lotus, this white lotus was like jade and snow. More elegant and eye-catching.
Just like the previous store, it didn't have the philistine atmosphere of an ordinary restaurant at all. It looked like the private pavilion of some wealthy family.
"I want to open a private restaurant." Jiang Yun Zhu announced.
Then she explained the meaning of the private restaurant a little bit. When everyone looked at this restaurant again, it was this feeling.
Private restaurant. There was no such restaurant in this era. Jiang Yun Zhu was the first one. Everyone felt it was novel and interesting and were full of admiration.
After viewing the restaurant, everyone chatted for a while. Gu Yan Zhou and Xie Chen took Xie Lian to leave, while Jiang Yun Zhu took Xue Jing to meet Zhang He and the others.
Xue Jing didn't know the identities of Zhang He and the others, but thought they were ordinary people hired by Jiang Yun Zhu. Although he found it strange that these people seemed to have quite a personality, he didn't think much about it.
Everyone seemed to be getting along quite happily?
Jiang Yun Zhu looked at these seven people and then looked at her newly renovated store. She felt that she could pick a time to open it.
