Meal Sweet Home: Farm Lady

Chapter 101

Qi Yuhao turned back to Yangzhou City for no other reason than because Nan Yan was severely beaten by Dai Rongjun today.

When he came to the He Mansion, He Chenyi was about to have dinner with his family, and when he learned that Qi Yuhao came to see him for something, he politely greeted his family, and went out to find a restaurant for dinner with Qi Yuhao We went to talk.

"I don't know why brother Qi came to look for me so anxiously today?" He Chenyi asked with a smile after drinking a glass of sake.

It must be urgent, if it is not urgent, why bother to come to find someone at this meal time.

Qi Yuhao sat across from He Chenyi, picked up a chopsticks dish, chewed slowly and said, "Today Nanyan met Dai Rongjun..."

"Why did you meet that dirty guy again? And then?" He Chenyi frowned when he heard "Dai Rongjun"'s name, feeling restless.

"This scumbag, Dai Rongjun, used his own money to rob Nan Yan of all the preparations he had made to open a restaurant at double the price. All the preparations Nan Yan made were in vain," Qi Yuhao simply said. described.

"How could such a thing happen? Then why did Dai Rongjun buy these things? It's not to make things difficult for Nan Yan, to show his wealth, right?" He Chenyi asked again.

"He said he would also open a restaurant."

"That's unreasonable! How did he know that Nanyan was going to open a delicate restaurant on the boat?" He Chenyi continued to ask.

Qi Yuhao responded indifferently: "It's not Nan Yan's vicious stepmother Wang Shi and her brainless lame son Zhao Mingda. They have been secretly monitoring Nan Yan's every move and learned that Nan Yan is going to open a restaurant , and told Dai Rongjun in the west of the city."

"Stepmother? Wang's mother and son?" He Chenyi tried hard to recall.

Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he recalled that the first time he met Nan Yan was in the valley of Shugang, a group of vicious bandits were chasing and beating Nan Yan, an old woman and a lame young man...

"Could it be her and him... If I knew this, I shouldn't have rescued them together that day..." He Chenyi murmured to himself, "Where is Yan'er at this time, and how is she feeling now?"

"She took back the deposits of all the shops that made custom-made items. After all, those deposits belong to you, Brother He. She said that you can't make it cheaper for those shop owners who are interested in money. Even if you can't do the business of opening a restaurant, you must Return the money to you. She has returned to West Lake Village now, and although she looks the same as before, she can feel that she is still very depressed." Qi Yuhao described.

Since the two became good friends, they called each other "brothers" warmly.

"What, you want to retreat now?" He Chenyi asked in surprise.

"Then Dai Rongjun not only bought all the preparations made by Nan Yan at double the price, but also monopolized all the processing shops in the city. No one is willing to take on Nan Yan's job again, unless you pay more than Dai Rongjun The price..." Qi Yuhao said.

"Hahaha... Dai Rongjun really has a skill, he really doesn't want to leave a way out for Nan Yan." When Ting Qi Yuhao said this, He Chenyi laughed uncharacteristically.

"Nan Yan doesn't want to tell you these things, because she doesn't want you to spend more money to fight Dai Rongjun for her." Qi Yuhao said.

"So it's you who came to see me today, not Yan'er herself..."

"Yes!" Qi Yuhao nodded.

"Hehehe... Yan'er is too cautious in doing things, and she is too considerate of others. It's just... I am a businessman, so how could I do such a loyal thing. Then Dai Rongjun is just a cat in the Dai family's house Big moth, sooner or later the Dai family's property will be emptied by this big moth." He Chenyi laughed.

"Could it be...Brother He has a countermeasure in mind?" Qi Yuhao asked tentatively. After all, He Chenyi hadn't shown any embarrassment after hearing the whole thing.

"Yes, I already have a countermeasure!" He Chenyi said confidently, "Actually, I had an idea before Yan'er told me that she had made all the preparations. It's just a pleasure to see her busy, I So I didn't say too much." He Chenyi said.

"Brother He means..." Qi Yuhao seemed to understand what He Chenyi meant.

He Chenyi took another sip of sake, and said with a smile: "I have a cousin who used to be a royal craftsman in the imperial court. Later, because of his old age, he received a generous reward and returned to his hometown to open a shipyard by himself. It’s big, but it’s much better than the ones in Yangzhou.”

"Oh? He was originally a craftsman of the royal family? Isn't there a need for craftsmanship?" Qi Yuhao said.

"Of course, the salt boat in my He's house was all made by my cousin." He Chenyi laughed, "So I wanted Yan'er to give him the design, and he would build the ornamental boat. , who would have thought that Nanyan did the preparations so neatly, so I will stop intervening."

"But... besides the boat, there are also kitchen utensils, tables and chairs, etc."

"As I said, my cousin was originally a craftsman of the royal family. Naturally, he knows many craftsmen of the older generation who have returned home. As long as you tell him all the plans, he will be able to convey these preparations. Everyone With division of labor and cooperation, it can be completed smoothly." He Chenyi said.

Qi Yuhao nodded, "I came to look for Brother He today, and I really didn't make a trip in vain."

"Hehehe... I'll go to my cousin's to make arrangements tomorrow morning, and the auspicious day for the opening of Yan'er Restaurant doesn't have to be postponed, it should be that day, or that day." He Chenyi packed the ticket and said.

"Thank you brother He!" Qi Yuhao politely cupped his hands.

"I also hope that Brother Qi will comfort Yan'er more when he goes back, and don't let her go out to find a way these days, so as not to encounter that scumbag Dai Rongjun again. Yan'er's task now is to organize the menu and master the skills she should have. "He Chenyi ordered.

"Yes, what Brother He said is true, I will do it." Qi Yuhao nodded.

"Come and eat vegetables, eat vegetables!" He Chenyi greeted.

The two were busy talking about things, and the dishes on the table had hardly moved.

"Brother Qi made a special trip today for Yan'er. Based on what I know about Brother Qi, this is rare! If he didn't care about Yan'er's affairs, how could he...hehe..." He Chenyi said There is something in it.

Qi Yuhao is a smart person, so he naturally figured out what He Chenyi's words meant through taste.

"Nanyan's father, Uncle Zhao Yi, entrusted her to me, and I should be responsible to her both emotionally and rationally." Qi Yuhao replied.

"Yes, yes, if it were me who was in trouble, I would also entrust my loved one to a reliable gentleman like Brother Qi. Come, drink!" He Chenyi raised his glass.

The two had a very pleasant meal. Since they were both highly educated men, they had a lot in common.The two of them chatted not very happily, and they didn't even know that they had been drinking for several decades, they only knew that they were not drunk.

Early autumn has arrived, and although it is still hot during the day, it gradually cools down at night.After Qi Yuhao and He Chenyi bid farewell, they returned to West Lake Village.

Nan Yan saw that Qi Yuhao had never come back so late, unless she was traveling far away, and she would tell her if she went far away, so she walked to the gate of the courtyard from time to time to look around.

After finally finding Qi Yuhao's tall and tall figure, Nan Yan called out softly, "Young Master Qi, are you back? I'll go and get you hot bath water."

Thinking that Qi Yuhao helped her so much during the day, Nan Yan naturally treated Qi Yuhao very well.

Qi Yuhao approached and nodded.Then Nan Yan prepared to go to the kitchen to boil hot water.

"Yan'er, from tomorrow onwards, you don't have to go to the city. Prepare three meals a day for me at home, do laundry and clean up, and take care of your well-fertilized vegetables and fruits..." Qi Yuhao ordered.

"Young Master Qi...you...what did you call me just now?"

Nan Yan noticed that Qi Yuhao just called her "Yan'er", this was the first time in his life that Qi Yuhao called her that.On weekdays, he always called her by her first name, and he had never called her so intimately, unless it was someone very close.

"Yan'er...what's the matter?" Qi Yuhao walked a few steps closer and stood face to face with Nan Yan, his right hand couldn't help caressing Nan Yan's smooth and tender cheek, "Then Brother He can call you like that, Can't I? Don't forget, your father entrusted you to me, and you are mine..."

Nan Yan smelled the faint smell of alcohol on Qi Yuhao's body, maybe it was just Qi Yuhao's drunken words, but it made Nan Yan so intoxicated for a while...

"No, it's nothing, I'll get you hot bath water!" Nan Yan blushed, turned around and wanted to run away, but she came to her senses for a while, turned around and asked Qi Yuhao, "Why do you want me to wait on you at home all day? Don't you support me in opening a restaurant? I know that today's incident really made all my preparations fail, but..."

"Don't talk so much, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. I didn't deprive you of the idea of ​​opening a restaurant, but your current task is to study the dishes and order the menu. You don't need to ask about other things, everything has been arranged Okay." Saying that, Qi Yuhao went to his room in a serious voice, ready to take off his clothes and take a bath.

Nan Yan seemed to understand the meaning of his words, but she didn't seem to understand.Could it be that he suddenly went back to Yangzhou city to do business today, just because of her business?

Nan Yan quietly watched Qi Yuhao's back when he returned to the house, and couldn't help feeling a little more fond of this man with a paralyzed face but an extremely warm heart.

"Nan Yan, Nan Yan, what are you thinking? You are just doing his work to pay back the money, so why should you be dreaming? The person in his heart is clearly Huazhu, not you. He just treats you as a burden Forget it, don't think about it." Nan Yan warned herself secretly, afraid that she would be in trouble if she fell in love with Xiangmei at the wrong time.

Nan Yan looked at her forehead, trying to wake up her temporarily dazed mind, then went into the kitchen with a blushing face, and boiled up bath water for Qi Yuhao.
