Ye Jiayao’s remarks were intended to pave the way for colleagues to resolve disputes, so as not to allow people who did not know the truth to be used and cause adverse effects. Moreover, they were said with more credibility when the evidence was conclusive.
From time to time, the crowd made a voice of condemnation.
Ye Jiayao saw that the goal had been achieved and asked loudly, ” Who can help me to carry the child to Heavenly Residence? My buddy has already called for a doctor.”
At once a burly man stepped forward and said, ” I’ll come.”
” Thank you for the eldest brother,” Ye Jiayao said gratefully.
The man picked up the child, followed by Ye Jiayao, and sent the child to live in Heavenly Residence. About the same time, Xiao Lu invited a doctor. After the doctor saw the child, he asked him some questions and checked the chestnut cake. He said explicitly, ” I’ve mixed croton powder in the chestnut cake. I’ll give the child a prescription and it’ll be all right after eating it.”
Ye Jiayao asked Olivia to go with the doctor to take the medicine, gave the child to Xing for care and asked, knowing that none of the other innkeepers had come back yet.
Ye Jiayao went to Lin Changchun’s booth.
As soon as she got there, she saw a few middle-aged men with the appearance of a bludger with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks clamoring to be sent to the magistrate.
The people around them were talking: ” It was someone who made trouble on purpose. Just now, one of them was caught by the pastry shop in the sky.”
” Isn’t it? these people are too hateful to be nice to others, making this kind of inferior and indiscriminate means.”
” There seems to be some trouble over there …”
” Let’s go and gather together a party to catch up all these guys.”
These people immediately ran to another booth. Ye Jiayao looked at the booth, which was probably manned by Du, and his lip angle was slightly bent. It seems that her words started everyone’s conventional thinking.
Soon Changchun came up and saw Ye Jiayao and said with concern, ” Have you handled it over there?”
Ye Jiayao nodded with a smile.
Changchun wiped his sweat and said, ” These guys are so insidious that I know they have done evil, but I can’t get any evidence. Fortunately, the onlookers have clear brains and yelled, so I will arrest them regardless of the seriousness of the incident. Now I have to hurry up to deal with the aftermath and borrow your territory for use.”
Ye Jiayao smiled: ” You may as well use it, but it’s not yet time for dinner. Do you want me to help?”
Changchun knew that Ye Jiayao had a good brain and could not get away with it.
Before long, several rioters were arrested. Lu Xiaotian called the government’s patrol and handed over the people and evidence to the patrol for interrogation.
Everyone waited patiently for the news.
After another hour or so, the captors returned the news, saying that they were ordered to arrest people according to the prisoners’ confessions. As a result, the people did not show up, and it was estimated that they got the news and ran away.
Everyone frowned in succession, so that they could not catch the messenger behind the scenes. In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that the food festival was a success, who was the most disturbing and who was most likely to send someone to destroy it, but the clue was broken, and they couldn’t count accounts without evidence. They couldn’t help feeling depressed and annoyed.
Lu Xiaotian’s eyes were also filled with anger and said with a cold face: ” Men, we don’t have to pay attention to the bugs in the gutter. In another half day, the first Food Festival will be closed perfectly. To do a good job in food festival, raise our reputation and earn our money is the most powerful response to gangsters.”
Everyone’s spirits were lifted and their eyes looked at Lu Xiaotian with some eagerness.
” Therefore, this afternoon, we must deploy more personnel to ensure that the gangsters will no longer have the chance to take advantage of it, and I will give more hard work to the officials to keep an eye on it,” Lu Xiaotian continued.
” Yes, I’ll go and sit in person in the afternoon.” Duan Qilin first seconded.
Everyone was deeply impressed and solemnly dispatched their own personnel.
By the end of the afternoon, the pastry drinks prepared by Heavenly Residence pastry shop had been cleared away and closed down ahead of schedule. Considering that the surrounding booths were still continuing, Ye Jiayao decided not to withdraw and asked Jiang Yue to send two people to watch, while others could rest first.
After Jiang Yue handed over the accounts, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. These three days were like a war. The whole people were like taut strings. They dared not relax for a moment. Now they couldn’t finally make a job.
Ye Jiayao looked at her relieved expression and felt a little distressed. She wanted to take a few days off to let her have a good rest. However, the follow-up tasks were still very heavy and must be adhered to. She had to be determined to say, ” You go back to rest first, and I’m afraid you will be busy in the next few days.”
Jiang Yue shook her head and said, ” It’s okay. I can stand it. Later, I’ll go to the pastry shop.”
” Don’t be so anxious, slow down, no problem,” Ye Jiayao advised.
Jiang Yue smiled, ” The second lady, how did you see that there was something wrong with the chestnut cake? I compared them with each other, just like we did. That mark can mix the spurious with the genuine.”
Ye Jiayao responded with a smile: ” I didn’t see it, I guessed it. Why did the woman want me to taste chestnut cake? If there was no problem with chestnut cake, would she ask me to taste it? There was no difference in appearance and no trace of tampering. It only showed that the cake was carefully imitated. Facts had proved that the chestnut cake was mixed with croton powder.”
” Then how did you make everyone believe that the mark was different?” Jiang Yue was confused.
Ye Jiayao explained to her: ” The chestnut cake in the woman’s hand has dried up, and the chestnut cake I asked you to take out from the steaming drawer was hot and moist, and the mark on it would be clearer. Besides, I just waved the cake in front of everyone for a few times and guided it with words. People simply couldn’t see clearly, and my thoughts will naturally follow my words. All I can say is that the woman herself couldn’t bear the heat and would be stunned by the bluff.”
Jiang Yue suddenly realized, she look the second lady with the eyes full of more than a bit of admiration. The second lady had a careful mind and immediately grasped the crux of the matter and solved the problem easily. Unlike her, she was only thinking about whether she really made unclean food and was very passive. Ah … it seemed that she still had a lot to learn.
” I see, I will move my mind first when I encounter problems later,” said Jiang Yue lamely said.
Ye Jiayao said with a smile,” That’s because you didn’t expect anyone to make mischief and gain wisdom. It would be better to pay more attention in the future.”
By the time Shen Zheng, the booths began to close one after another, and the crowd gradually dispersed without any abnormal problems. The first Food Festival finally ended successfully.
Shopkeepers were busy counting the fruits of their victory. Didn’t even think about it. There were plenty of profits, but to be sure, Heavenly Residence was definitely the biggest winner.
After the food festival, the second training class was held immediately. Ye Jiayao was really unable to spare her efforts. She wanted to devote more attention to Jing’an marquis house and dealt with the situation that may change at any time, so she said hello to Lu Xiaotian in advance and did not attend the preparatory work.
However, the situation over there would still be reflected to Ye Jiayao in time. It was heard that the number of restaurants required to attend doubled this time, and everyone wanted to submit a few more students. However, the current venue and faculty were not yet allowing such a large expansion of enrollment, and Lu Xiaotian and others had a headache. Agreed this restaurant would sin against that one and they did not know what to do.
Ye Jiayao gave an idea. Offer a test, let them speak according to strength.
Training courses were for elites, for promotion, not science popularization, and it must be ensured that every student who left the training course could become a leader in the industry.
Lu Xiaotian was deeply convinced and handed over the matter to Duan Qilin and Mrs Rong, which soon solved the problem.
Ye Jiayao waited a few days. Jing and Zhao Qixuan did not have any movement at all. She wanted to go to Helian Mansion , but remembered Chunyu’s explanation, saying that Princess YiDe had made her shy if there was no need, try to get there as little as possible. Helian Mansion couldn’t go and there should be no problem going to YongAn marquis house. Besides, she had a very legitimate reason … to pay back the money.
Therefore, Ye jiayao went to Datong Exchange to return the money to Zhao Qixuan.
It was the last time that the steward invited Ye Jiayao to the room for tea.
” Shopkeeper Ye was unable to attend the chrysanthemum meeting last time, and our master was deeply regret,” said the steward.
Ye Jiayao remembered this and forgot about the chrysanthemum meeting.
” I’m really sorry, I’m too busy to take off my body,” Ye Jiayao apologized.
Steward walked over, ” Shopkeeper Ye’s business is doing well. It’s a good thing to be busy explaining it. We will entertain the most important customers at the end of the year and hope that Shopkeeper Ye will not refuse this time.”
Ye Jiayao immediately promised to come down: ” The end of the year and the beginning of the year are off season. I think I’m not so busy. I’ll certainly come.”
Having received Ye Jiayao’s promise, the steward was very happy and said some pleasantries. The man had already prepared the bill and presented it respectfully with both hands.
Ye Jiayao got the silver ticket and got up to leave.
When she arrived at Yong ‘an marquis house, the concierge said that Heir-son Lord was not in the house and did not know where she was going, but she said she would come back for dinner. Mrs. Marquis Yong ‘an heard that Ye Jiayao was coming and asked her to come in. Ye Jiayao accompanied Mrs. Marquis Yong ‘an to have tea and chat while waiting for Zhao Qixuan.
At about the end of the meal, Zhao Qixuan came back and saw Ye Jiayao huffing: ” You didn’t receive male guests in that dessert house. They didn’t let me in even I have tried half a day.”
Ye Jiayao and Mrs. Marquis Yong ‘an both gaped.
” I didn’t tell you, the dessert house only receives women?” Mrs marquis Yong’an puzzled.
Zhao Qixuan sat there shaking his fan and didn’t feel good. ” You just praised how delicious the contents are. And I want to try them, but the door couldn’t be get in.”
Ye Jiayao can’t help laughing. She waited here for Zhao Qixuan, but Zhao Qixuan ran to the dessert house.
“Yaoyao, you are not honest in doing so. Why discriminate against men?” Zhao Qixuan complained.
Mrs Marquis Yong ‘an first refuted, ” what did you say? Can you guys go where we women can’t go?Dessert House of Ye is the only shop in Jinling really for our women. In such a place, do you still dare to complain? Jinxuan, leave him alone. This boy wants to be taught.”
