Chapter 1731 Visiting the Food Box
Chapter 1731 Visiting the Food Box
Yan Ruyu entered the space for testing, but couldn't come out for a while. Thinking of what Yinding said, about the strangeness of Master Qiu and the two completely different food boxes, she decided to go and look for him.
After changing clothes and putting on a veil, I went to the snack bar first.
This shop is indeed not very big, it only has one room, but it is clean and tidy. The shop is filled with fragrance and is warm and comfortable.
There were not many customers at this time and no waiters in the shop. There was an old couple, the old woman was in the kitchen and the old man was out to greet the customers.
Yan Ruyu sat down and ordered a bowl of porridge and two boiled eggs, which tasted surprisingly good.
She ordered a few more takeaways and started chatting casually about family matters.
Asked if there was a young man who often came here to order food.
"Yes," the old man said, "Look, they gave me a month's salary and asked me to deliver the food every day, but I could only deliver it to the door and not let me in."
The old man smiled and said, "After running a snack shop for a long time, you can meet all kinds of customers."
Yan Ruyu asked again: "Where did he ask you to take him to?"
"A family in Huatian Lane," the old man said without hesitation.
I go there every day and I'm familiar with it.
"What did you order? Did you mention anything you shouldn't eat?"
The old man said frankly, "What we ordered are some plain porridge, some steamed buns and side dishes, the simplest food, and the taboos have been mentioned, because I have a popular side dish here, which is fried fish. The person who ordered the food said not to send fish, and not to eat anything with fish, saying that people who eat fish will get rashes."
Yan Ruyu remembered this key point and asked again: "What does the person who ordered food from you and gave you money look like?"
The old man hesitated: "This..." He was not very good at describing it.
Yan Ruyu took out the photos she had asked for from the abbot.
"Look, is this the person?" she asked, pointing at Qiu Ke Shi.
The old man squinted his eyes for a while, shook his head and said, "No."
"But your little painting is really nice."
Yan Ruyu smiled without saying anything and changed to the next one: "What about this one? Is there any?"
The old man squinted his eyes and watched for a long time, and the old woman came out from the kitchen with the packaged porridge.
"His eyesight is not good, let me take a look."
The old woman had sharp eyes and ears. She looked at the photo twice and found it immediately: "This is it."
Yan Ruyu looked carefully and found that it was the attendant of Qiu Keshi, who was imprisoned in the prison.
This is easy to handle.
"Thank you, mother-in-law. You helped me a lot."
The old woman smiled and said, "You're welcome, young lady. This is just a small thing. Take this porridge back with you and try it. If you like it, come here often."
Yan Ruyu agreed with a smile and was about to pay when the old woman stopped her: "This is a free sample for you. It's free. We'll talk next time."
Yan Ruyu insisted on giving it, but her purse was full of small change. The old woman smiled and said, "I can't make a change for your money, so just do as I say."
Yan Ruyu had no choice but to agree.
As soon as she left, the old man asked in confusion, "Old lady, why is this happening?"
The old woman scolded: "You are so old and your eyes are blurry. You can't tell who she is?"
The old man shook his head blankly, and the old woman whispered something in her ear.
The old man was surprised and was about to speak when the old woman covered his mouth with her hand.
"Since she is wearing a veil, she doesn't want to be recognized. Don't make a fuss. Just pretend you don't know, okay?"
The old man nodded.
The old woman then let go of her hand.
"If it weren't for the prince and princess, how could we live the good life we have now? What does a few bowls of porridge mean? It's our blessing that the princess can come."
The old man nodded frantically: "Yes, yes, you are right, but it's a pity that I gave too little. I should have given more."
"If you give more, the princess will notice."
"Yeah, haha, that's right."
Yan Ruyu carried the packed porridge to Parkson Building, then turned a corner and went to the dim sum shop.
Rong and the others are still busy. Two new kinds of dim sum have been introduced these days, and everyone is busy as always.
Rong had always wanted to find a few more people, but couldn't find anyone suitable for the time being.
Seeing Yan Ruyu coming, he hurried over to greet her.
"I'm giving you this porridge. I'm afraid some of you haven't had time to eat yet," Yan Ruyu put the porridge down, "Try it."
Rong was pleasantly surprised: "Thank you, Princess. I am really hungry. When it is time to eat, I have to assign someone to prepare. Sometimes I am really too busy."
Yan Ruyu nodded: "Try the porridge and see if you like it. This snack shop not only has porridge, but also stewed food, steamed dumplings and so on. If you like it, arrange for someone to go there and have them deliver it every day. This way you don't have to take time out to make it and have no time to eat."
Rong's eyes lit up, but he was a little worried: "Is this... a waste of money?"
Yan Ruyu smiled and said, "How can eating be a waste of money? You save time, rest a little longer, and become healthier, so you can do more. Isn't that a profit?"
"I've been to this snack bar before, the food is good, it's run by an elderly couple, they're nice people, and the prices are fair."
Rong was relieved: "Yes, Princess is right. I will discuss this matter after closing tonight."
Rong was very happy to solve everyone's food problem.
Yan Ruyu carried two kilograms of newly-made dim sum and went to Parkson Tower.
Baishenglou is not owned by the Qian family, but it is also a well-known restaurant in Youcheng. To be able to compete with the Qian family restaurant, it must have its unique features.
Yan Ruyu doesn't want to turn the whole city into her own business and force others to have no way to make a living. It would be best if the city prospers and a hundred flowers bloom.
It was Yan Ruyu’s idea to choose Baisheng Building to hold the previous abbot’s duel.
This time, it brought a lot of customers to Parkson Building.
As soon as Yan Ruyu came in, a waiter came up to greet her: "Hey, Miss, please go upstairs. There are private rooms on the second floor."
Seeing that she was a woman, he knew it was inconvenient and immediately invited her to go upstairs. Yan Ruyu nodded in appreciation.
When they got to the second floor, Yan Ruyu gave the waiter a piece of silver and said, "Please come over, boss. I have something to say."
When the clerk saw the reward, he knew that something important was going on, so he hurried to ask the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper entered the box and bowed with a smile: "My last name is Zhao, and I am the shopkeeper here. I wonder how..."
Yan Ruyu took off her veil. Shopkeeper Zhao recognized her at the first sight and was startled. He quickly knelt down to greet her.
"Manager Zhao, there is no need to be so polite. This time, I am here to ask you something."
"I dare not. If the princess has any instructions, just ask. I will tell you everything I know."
Yan Ruyu put the snacks on the table and said, "Manager Zhao, these are new snacks from the snack shop. I heard that Madam Zhao often visits here, so I'm giving these to her to try."
Shopkeeper Zhao hurriedly thanked her, and Yan Ruyu then spoke: "This princess wants to ask, has anyone from the Qiu Mansion come to buy food in the past two days? Has anyone been sent to deliver food to the Qiu Mansion?"
Shopkeeper Zhao's face changed slightly: "Princess, I have also heard about the Qiu family's affairs. I have absolutely no connection with the Qiu family..."
Yan Ruyu knew that he had misunderstood, so she waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Zhao. This princess has no intention of holding you accountable. You just need to answer truthfully."
Shopkeeper Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Someone did come to the Qiu family today. He was a guest from the Qiu Mansion and ordered a few common dishes. Since two of them took a while to prepare, he did not wait in the store, but left a few more coins and asked the waiter to deliver them."
"However, according to the waiter, they only delivered him to the door of Qiu's house, but did not enter."
"Princess, do you need me to call the servants?"
