Chapter 1017: Don’t look at me like I am a bandit
” Ain’t that right?” Madam Shun nodded. ” My husband told me that if I can’t bring the dishes from your restaurant today then I don’t need to come back home. Our precious eldest daughter refuses to eat anything ever since she ate the stir-fried vegetables along with braised eggplants and fish with ginger and green onion slices. I thought that we could recreate the dishes at home but she refused to eat it.”Song Yixu looked at her friends and was even more speechless. Just because they were about to be kicked out of the house, she needed to make a loss of ten taels each huh? She shook her head and said, ” I have already said, those dishes are booked and something happened at the family of my supplier, she is hardly sending any vegetables because of what happened and I am still waiting for her to return to the usual supply. You want me to add extra dishes for you? Not a chance.”
” Then you should tell us who is this supplier along with lending Chef Chen,” Long Ju argued with a smile, looking not even the slightest bit offended. ” If we get our hands on the supplies that you are getting, I am sure with the skills of Chef Chen there should be nothing that we need to worry about.”
” You really think that I will simply hand you my supplier’s address and what not huh?” Song Yixu sneered and then said, ” You really know how to dream. Not only do I need to give up my share of supplies but also hand you my chef? Why don’t you ask me to declare you partners of the restaurant ?”
” You really are stingy, fine we won’t ask you to hand us Chef Chen but you can at least tell us who is our supplier right? The vegetables that your restaurant sells are all fragrant and sweet, even though there is no meat inside the dumplings, the chives make even the vegetables dumplings with cottage cheese taste good,” said Long Ju.
Concubine Jiang saw the actions of the two women and was speechless no matter how good the vegetables were, they should at least act like their age, what were they doing sneaking behind Song Yixu?
“Brother Jiang, it seems that you will be able to eat fresh vegetables today,” remarked Concubine Ren, because of the incident at Yu Dong’s house she sent vegetables in bulk and did not come for days telling Song Yixu that she needed to take a break because something happened at her home.
It was a good thing that Yu Dong’s vegetables did not wither even after being kept for three days and thus not a single customer made a complaint but Concubine Jiang who had eaten the fresh vegetables immediately detected the change as his tongue was quite picky.
” Ahem,” Concubine Jiang cleared his throat and then focused his attention on the book that he was reading and ignored Concubine Ren.
” Ah, so she is the supplier huh?” Long Ju crept behind Song Yixu and then looked at Yu Dong who was sitting on the stool. Her exclamation surprised both Yu Dong and Song Yixu who patted her chest and then slapped her friend on the arm before saying in a reprimanding voice, ” What are you doing? You scared the living daylights out of me.”
” Heh, this is what you get for acting all stingy,” Long Ju retorted as she turned to look at Yu Dong, her eyes fell on the fresh lettuce, eggplants, tomato, onion and many other vegetables including the pumpkin that she did not like but upon seeing the beautiful golden colour of the pumpkin grown by Yu Dong, Long Ju suddenly started to crave some pumpkin porridge.
She gulped and then looked at Yu Dong before asking, ” Miss.. would you like to sell some of the vegetables to me and my friend here as well? Don’t look at us as if we are robbing you, Sister Yixu.” She added when Song Yixu glared at her.
