Baozi Xishi's Struggle

Chapter 216 Miss Shen, what do you eat for breakfast?

Lu Lang was almost losing face, so he pretended not to hear and stood up to say goodbye to everyone: "It's getting late, you should rest, I will go back first."

Qi Xi said hurriedly: "Then I will take the young master back and come back later."

Li said, "Yes, that's right. How can we let Master Lu go back alone? Let Qixi go with him. Qixi can come back tomorrow. There shouldn't be anything to do tonight."

Shen Yu also advised: "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, Li Changgen just came here at noon today, he won't come again so soon."

"I'm worried that if he finds out that Sister Zheng is here, he might come to the store and cause trouble during the day."

"The guests are all here, and Sister Zheng hasn't divorced yet, so I can only follow him back."

"We close the gate at night, so he can't get in."

Lu Lang gave up and glanced at Qi Xi: "Then let's go. Please stay with me for one more night."

Qi Xi's face fell and he could only respond in a low voice, then he followed Lu Lang and said goodbye with his head down.

After Shen Yu sent Lu Lang and his servant away, he told Li about Lu Lang's suggestion.

Li frowned and was silent for a long time before she could only say, "You may be angry, but Master Lu is right. We thought too simply before, thinking only of paying off his gambling debts and forgetting that he wanted to make a comeback."

Jiang said, "We have never gambled before, so we never thought we would get to this level."

"Thanks to Master Lu's reminder, we were able to prepare in advance. Otherwise, when the time came, Li Changgen would not give in when he saw that he could not get the money, and Zheng Sanniang would not be able to divorce, and all this effort would be in vain."

Speaking of money, Shen Yu told her that Lu Lang wanted to hold a banquet in the restaurant and lent the money to Zheng Sanniang.

Mrs. Li was very confident. She said, "Your cooking skills are trustworthy. Although the restaurant is a bit simple, I think if you carefully prepare a table of food, they will definitely be praised."

Shen Yu couldn't help but smile playfully: "Mom, you really know how to praise your daughter."

Jiang and Li both laughed. Jiang said, "Miss Yuzhi, it's true that Sister Li is not lying. The dishes you cook are indeed delicious."

"Don't be fooled by the carved beams and painted buildings, the golden cups and jade cups in the restaurant. The dishes there are mostly the same and there is no novelty. But many of the dishes you cook have never been seen before. They are novel and delicious."

Li asked curiously, "Sister Jiang, were your family wealthy in the past? You talk about these things as if you ate them often."

Jiang smiled faintly and said, "How could I have eaten it? I just worked as a helper for a few days while fleeing. I followed the master in and out of the restaurant and heard what the master said."

After saying that, he smiled and said, "It's getting late. Let's go to bed quickly. We have to get up early tomorrow."

Li felt a little sleepy after being reminded by Jiang, so she urged Shen Yu. They checked the fire in the kitchen, took the candlesticks and went back to their rooms to rest.

Early the next morning, just as the first basket of buns was brought to Fengnian Restaurant, Qixi came over.

He found Shen Yu with a smile and handed her a purse: "Miss Shen, I left in a hurry yesterday, and the young master forgot to let me give you the purse. There are fifteen taels of silver in it."

Shen Yu hesitated for a moment, but still took it: "When you go back in two days, thank Mr. Lu for me. If I don't need this money, I will return it to him in two days."

Qixi waved his hand and said, "On the way back yesterday, the young master told me about Madam Zheng. He said that when you go to find Li Changgen tomorrow, he will go too."

Shen Yu was a little surprised: "What is Mr. Lu going to do? You two can't team up to beat up Li Changgen."

Qi Xi said with some disdain: "There is no need for the young master to take action against that kind of gambler. I will scare him twice, and that will be enough. The young master said that he can show off his power to you guys later."

Shen Yu looked at Qi Xi who was eager to try with a headache: "Then don't really do it when the time comes. What if you hurt him and he blackmails us and asks us to pay for the medical expenses?"

Shen Yu thought about it and added, "It's better not to let Mr. Lu go. What if the county lord finds out? What will happen then?"

Qi Xi said nonchalantly: "My master doesn't care about these things. As long as the young master studies well and can pass the imperial examination, the master doesn't restrict the young master on other matters."

"My old master said that you should pay attention to and learn some things about the affairs of the county government. You should take care of the people's affairs as long as you don't go too far."

"Mrs. Zheng is also a citizen of Anping County. Since the young master knows about her affairs, he will definitely take care of it."

Shen Yu had no choice but to say, "We plan to go find Li Changgen tomorrow after the market closes. I heard that the gambling houses are open at night."

"Tomorrow is the third day. If Li Changgen doesn't pay off his gambling debts, his house will be taken away. He will be extremely anxious then."

"When the time comes, we'll give him some money, and he should agree quickly."

Shen Yu became worried when he thought about what would happen tomorrow.

She was worried that Li Changgen's family would not be willing to hand over Xiao Zhuzi to Zheng Sanniang, and if the divorce failed, Zheng Sanniang would fall back into the fire pit.

Qixi touched the back of his head and said, "Let's talk about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow. Miss Shen, what do you eat for breakfast after your family is done with their busy schedule? Do you also eat buns and drink soy milk?"

Qi Xi looked at the customers sitting in the shop eating buns and drinking soy milk and enjoying their meal, and couldn't help but ask.

Shen Yu couldn't help but chuckle. Yes, what's the point of worrying about tomorrow's matter now?

Isn’t it said that there will always be a way when you reach the mountain? When we go there tomorrow, there will be two more people, Lu Lang and Qi Xi.

Thinking of this, Shen Yu became braver.

She smiled and said, "Sometimes we eat steamed buns, and sometimes we make some more. Whatever you want to eat today, I'll make it for you."

Qi Xi smiled sheepishly and said, "Hehe, I can eat anything. It's better than following the master in the mansion and eating tofu and cabbage from the kitchen."

Shen Yu smiled slightly after hearing this, but didn't know what to say.

Today, everyone feels much more at ease because 7-Up is here.

On the one hand, it was because Qi Xi knew some martial arts, so there was no need to worry about Li Changgen suddenly coming to snatch people away.

On the other hand, although it was not stated explicitly, if something really happened here, Qi Xi should be able to let the county government officials know quickly and rush over.

Shen Yu planned to make some lasagna, which would taste great with a bowl of hot soy milk.

Now was the time when many guests were having breakfast. Shen Yu had been busy for a long time, and the number of people began to decrease gradually.

It was time to prepare breakfast for the family. Shen Yu said goodbye to Li and the others, and went to the big kitchen at the back to make lasagna.

When Zhou Dalang heard that Shen Yu was going to cook new dishes, he immediately wanted to learn from her.

Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, there are three of us in the store in the morning, we can handle it, not to mention that Brother Qixi is here too."
