Looking at the big man approaching the mother and daughter, Yu Xiuying was extremely panicked. Ye Shian's wound on the back of his head had just healed.

"It can't be the fifty taels of silver that caused this." Yu Xiuying's hand had already firmly grasped the fruit knife at her waist.

Although Ye Shian didn't want to believe her mother's words, she still asked coldly. After all, they had just arrived in Huainan City and didn't know anyone, let alone offend anyone: "Did Shen Teng ask you to come?"

"What's Shen Teng's stomachache? I don't know."

Then it couldn't be Shen Teng. If it wasn't Shen Teng, who could it be? They had just arrived in Huainan City and didn't know anyone, so how could they possibly offend anyone?

"Did you make a mistake?" Ye Shian asked again without giving up.

"We're looking for you." After saying this, the leading man waved his hand, and several people came towards the mother and daughter from the front and back.

Yu Xiuying and Ye Shian naturally would not sit still and wait to die, and both of them took out their weapons to fight back.

But this time they ran into a tough guy. Before Yu Xiuying understood what was going on, the fruit knife in her hand was knocked away. When she looked up again, the knife was on her neck.

Ye Shian was not much better off. She had no chance to attack when facing four people at once, and could only retreat in a panic to defend herself.

Seeing Ye Shian being forced to retreat step by step, Yu Xiuying's heart was in her throat, but she still held back and dared not make a sound, for fear that she would distract her.

After struggling for more than ten moves, the opponent still put the knife on her neck.

The mother and daughter were blindfolded and followed through many twists and turns until they arrived at a room.

Hearing the door being closed and locked, Ye Shian tentatively called out, "Is anyone there?"

After waiting for a while and hearing no one answer, she removed the blindfold.

It was the utility room. Seeing that Yu Xiuying was still holding the corner of her clothes tightly, Zi Yuan had woken up and was lying on Yu Xiuying's back babbling. Ye Shian quickly helped her remove the cloth covering her eyes.

At the same time, Ziyuan was taken off Ye Xiuying's body.

Yu Xiuying adjusted for a while, and when her eyes felt better, she looked around and also looked puzzled: "Where is this?"

Ye Shian shook her head, she didn’t know either.

Just then, there were faint voices outside the door. Ye Shian hugged Zi Yuan tightly in his arms, while protecting Yu Xiuying behind him.

When the door opened, Yu Xiuying had already stepped in front of her two daughters.

I have never seen the person who came in, let alone recognize him.

Seeing the mother and daughter looking at him warily, the visitor smiled kindly and said, "Don't be nervous, I invited you here just to learn something."

Ye Shian's mind was working quickly to learn something. What could she learn from her? Thinking back to what she had done in the past two days, she immediately understood.

"You want to learn how to cook!"

The man clapped happily when he heard it: "Not bad, the little girl is very smart."

Ye Shian sneered: "If you want to learn how to cook, shouldn't you find a chef? Why are you looking for a country girl like me?"

Seeing Ye Shian say this, the man also put away the smile on his face: "Don't beat around the bush, I don't like to talk nonsense, just bring out all the dishes you know, and I will let you and your daughter go."

"What if I don't agree?"

He had only cooked a few meals, but he had gotten himself into so much trouble. Ye Shian really wanted to curse.

"Haha, you will agree."

The people are in his hands, so why worry about having no solution?

"As long as you don't agree, you will have no food to eat and no water to drink. When you agree, I will let you go."

Ye Shian stared at the man for a long time and suddenly smiled.

"In fact, it's not difficult for me to hand over the recipe. Why do you have to make it so complicated?"

The man paused: "Oh?"

Ye Shian patted Yu Xiuying's hand, signaling her not to worry, and she stood up from the ground.

"It's just a dish. There's nothing that can't be made, and there's nothing that's not good to pass on. But how much money do you want to give me for a recipe?"

"Silver?" The man was stunned. He didn't expect Ye Shian to change so quickly.

"Yes, you should know without me telling you that someone spent fifty taels of silver to treat me to a meal yesterday. How much are you willing to pay?"

The man squinted his eyes and looked at Ye Shian. He was weighing the truth of his words. Fifty taels of silver for a table of food was definitely not cheap.

"Don't show that look, okay? If you want to get something for nothing, that won't work. After all, you are the owner of the restaurant."

The man was stunned at first when Ye Shian guessed his identity, but then he thought about it and felt that it was not difficult to guess.

"I want to taste your cooking first." The man said after a while.

Ye Shian agreed readily: "Okay, no problem."

"In that case, can you let us live somewhere more comfortable? I'm not a prisoner. It's not appropriate for you to let me stay here!"

Ye Shian looked around as she spoke, and it was obvious that she disliked this place.

In fact, this place is much better than the room I lived in at the Ye family.

"Please!" The man turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation.

Ye Shian turned around and pulled Yu Xiuying up from the ground: "Mom, be careful."

After leaving the door, Ye Shian turned back to look at the man: "By the way, you haven't told me yet, what should I call you? After all, we are in a cooperative relationship now."

"king."

"Oh, you're Shopkeeper Wang, right? My last name is Ye, Ye Shian!"

"I know." Shopkeeper Wang replied indifferently.

After leaving the utility room, Ye Shian glanced at the yard. This should be the backyard of the restaurant.

Shopkeeper Wang called a servant, who was one of the women kidnapped this morning, and said, "Take them to their room to rest."

Then he said to Ye Shian: "Tell him what ingredients you need for cooking, and he will prepare them for you. You can cook it in the evening."

Ye Shian nodded: "I have to buy the ingredients myself. Even if I tell you, you can't buy them."

"Then make it with the ingredients we can buy."

After saying this, Shopkeeper Wang winked at his subordinate, who nodded and led Ye Shian and his daughter to an adjacent room. After they entered, the man stood guard outside the door.

Ye Shian looked through the crack in the door for a while, then pulled Yu Xiuying to the bedside.

As soon as she sat down, Yu Xiuying couldn't hold back any longer: "Shi'an, what should we do? This shopkeeper Wang doesn't look like a good guy."

From the skills of those people this morning, it can be seen that this store is not simple: "Mom, what are you afraid of? Have you forgotten that we still have that place?"

When Yu Xiuying thought of that place, she immediately felt relieved: "So do you really want to teach him how to cook?"

Ye Shian took a deep breath and said, "We'll see what happens. Anyway, you must follow me closely, Mom."

Yu Xiuying nodded: "Yes."

Ziyuan in his arms started whining and looking for milk. Ye Shian motioned Yu Xiuying to wait a moment while she went to the space to prepare milk powder.

It can be seen that this restaurant's business is much better than Xianweiju's, and the noise never stops.

It was not until the evening when the restaurant closed that the guard opened the door and asked Ye Shian to go to the kitchen.

Yu Xiuying wanted to go with her child in her arms, but was stopped by the man.

"I can cook by myself."

When Ye Shian heard that the mother and daughter were to be separated, she opened fire on the man. She did not forget that it was this bastard who put a knife to her neck in the morning.
