Chapter 40 Strange Guest
In Jiangshan's shop, a strange guest came.

He ordered all the private dishes on the menu, paid ten taels of silver for Jiang Shan to cook, and sat there waiting for the dishes to be served.

There were seven or eight servants accompanying him, guarding the inside and outside like door gods, and no guests from outside dared to come in.

For the sake of money, Jiang Shan endured it.

But what she couldn't bear was that the weirdo just took a bite of everything and then gave up, pouring it out.

When he was picky about fruit tea again and asked for this or that, Jiang Shan took off his apron and quit.

She stared at that overly pretty face, and said firmly: "My lord, the ingredients in the store are limited, so I'm sorry I can't do what you asked for."

The young guest asked in surprise: "Why? I paid the silver!"

"You paid money, but how many ingredients did you waste? In a sense, these wasted ingredients show that the guests are not satisfied with Jiang's private kitchen dishes. My satisfaction has changed from 90.00% to [-]%. How much is one-tenth of the loss? Is this just a matter of money? My reputation, my brand name, my fame, and my influence will all be lost, and they are all intangible assets!"

"...!" The young guest stared blankly at Jiang Shan and at the attendants, but did not get the answer he wanted from their faces.

"What do you mean...I don't understand what you mean. I spent money to order the dishes. What does it matter to you whether I eat or not? If you talk about losses, I should be the ones who lose, right?"

Jiang Shan put his hands on his hips and said slowly: "Do you know what a loss is? The dishes you ordered are enough for the people around you to have a good meal. This is a rare thing that they can't buy even if they have money in Shangjing. They eat happily , The sense of happiness is overwhelming, this is great value for money! Take a look at what you have done? It is bad enough and immoral to ruin these delicious delicacies in front of them!"

The young guests looked at their entourage again, some were drooling before they had time to cover it up, some had regrets in their eyes, and some simply stared at their shoe uppers.

He silently put down the chopsticks in his hand, thought about it, thought about it again, couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.

It was the first time he was scolded like this when he grew up so big, and he almost pointed at his nose and scolded him.

This little lady is not very old, but she has a good temper, which is quite interesting.

He stood up, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and left.

Not a word was said.

"What kind of bad habits are you used to!" Jiang Shan muttered, and cleaned up the dishes on the table that hadn't been thrown away in time, and asked Qiao Sheng to deliver them to the beggars on the street.

When the young master saw that the cook in Jiang's private kitchen was delivering food to beggars, he recognized it almost immediately as his leftovers.

The look of the servant next to him changed immediately, and he rushed forward to beat him up.

"What are you doing? Slave, your master hasn't spoken yet, and it's your turn to play tricks here?" A cold and stern voice came suddenly.

The boy's expression changed drastically, and he immediately knelt down on the ground.

Li Minghe stepped forward, stared at the young man's face, and said, "Fu Qichen, you are promising. You pretended to be a good baby in Shangjing, but you learned how to do it in this rural area. Lost my eyes!"

Fu Qichen said helplessly: "Uncle, you came here before I could stop it. I really didn't want to bully anyone!"

Qiao Sheng saw Li Minghe, saluted him from a distance, and left without looking back.

Li Minghe pointed at Fu Qichen with a big-headed fan and said, "What are you doing in Jiang's private kitchen? They didn't hire you or provoke you, did they? Fu Qichen, let me warn you, it's not easy for their family to run a shop. Let me know what you did to them and I'll break your leg!"

Fu Qichen looked at Li Minghe in surprise, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "How dare you, I will pay more attention to the people that uncle wants to take care of. Besides, that shopkeeper Jiang has a sharp mouth and is not easy to mess with, and ordinary people are really bullying without her!"

Li Minghe couldn't help laughing when he thought of the temperament of the Jiao family siblings.

"What are you doing in Guyang County?" Thinking of something, Li Minghe asked solemnly.

Fu Qichen coughed lightly, and said in a low voice: "My mother said, you are on business in Zongyang County, so I went to look for it. The people in the post said you would run here every few days, so I went to look for it."

"Speak human! Don't play tricks on your mother in front of me!"

"...Brother has been away from home for a long time, and my mother is worried, so I begged my father to let me come and have a look."

Li Minghe didn't know that Fu Qiyuan had been poisoned, so he believed it after hearing what Fu Qichen said.

He tapped Fu Qiyuan on the shoulder with his fan, and said coldly: "I'll say it again, there is a difference between concubines and concubines. It's best not to use the shady methods your mother used in the back house on your elder brother. If you keep your own , I would also like to recognize you as a nephew, otherwise, the Qingyang Hou Mansion would not have a relative like you!"

The corners of Fu Qichen's mouth twitched, and he said weakly: "Uncle, why bother to speak so harshly, I'm not my mother, I really..."

"He was pretty cute when he was young, but he looks more and more like your mother when he grows up, hmph...!" Li Minghe snorted, and walked away angrily, shaking his fan.

Fu Qichen's face slowly sank, his clenched fists trembled slightly, the resentment and unwillingness in his eyes mixed with an unspeakable bitterness, he slowly lowered his head...

"Fu Qichen went to Jiang's private kitchen?" Fu Qiyuan stared at the guard around him with his clear eyes, unwilling to let go of the slightest expression on his face.

"Yes, I ordered a lot of dishes, didn't eat much, and didn't make trouble in the shop. Later, when his entourage was about to attack Qiao Sheng, he met the prince and was taught a few words by the prince."

There is Aunt Li's person beside Fu Qichen, that woman is very troublesome, Fu Qichen will bring him a lot of inconvenience here, and Fu Qichen must not let Fu Qichen know about his investigation of his background.

"Have you found out what I asked you to investigate?"

The guard said in embarrassment: "Young master, there is no adult's handwriting, and the magistrate of Cao County will not allow us to look up the case files at all. However, the subordinates have found another clue. Madam sent someone to Guxian Town three years ago to let Guxian Town Officials, big and small, must keep one sentence in mind: Jiao Yan died accidentally!"

Fu Qiyuan's heart felt as if someone had thumped him hard, countless grotesque images flashed through his mind, and when he wanted to see them clearly, they disappeared.

That's true!

He is Fu Qiyuan, the son-in-law of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Industry, but he is also the Erlang of the Jiao family in Huaigu Village, Jiao Yan!
"Notice, withdraw all the staff, no need to check again! Send someone to send a greeting card to the Qingfeng Academy, tomorrow I will go to the Qingfeng Academy to visit Master Wu!"

"In addition, write a letter to my father and ask him to transfer some people to me. I want a real master!"
