Survival rules for restaurants: cooking and eating melons at the same time

Zheng Yuanyuan wasn't surprised when he saw An Qiao's eagerness to deny it.

After all, Kyoto Prefecture is big and small at the same time.

The news spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Everyone had already seen clearly what kind of people Anle and his group were.

"But today...the guy named Wu Jiangan in our academy spread the word in the academy that he wanted to take the young lady as his concubine, and also said that you were embarrassing yourself by showing your face in public. He has done a great thing." Zheng Yuanyuan really didn't want them to bully An Qiao. He liked the atmosphere of this restaurant very much and didn't want to lose his paradise.

An Qiao... She thought it was great to have a fool like An Le in the world, but she didn't expect that there were still people who believed in him and there was more than one fool.

"...Thank you very much for telling me, sir. I am very grateful. Please consider this meal as my treat to you." An Qiao was indeed very grateful to Zheng Yuanyuan. After all, if she gossiped in front of him, she might even get bullied.

"It's okay, I just want to tell you, it's nothing serious." Zheng Yuanyuan showed a row of white teeth, "I'm here to eat beef belly hotpot."

An Qiao nodded immediately, "I won't tell anyone that you are the one who told me, don't worry, sir."

Zheng Yuanyuan added, "It's okay, they can't bully me."

Although everyone in the academy could make fun of him, no one dared to really bully him, nor did they think about the kind of people in his family.

An Qiao bowed in gratitude and insisted on treating him to a meal, and Zheng Yuanyuan agreed.

After returning to the backyard, An Qiao found Dong Zhi and said, "Go out and ask around. Who is Wu Jiangan? I feel like this name is familiar, but I just can't remember it."

Dong Zhi was stunned for at least three breaths before he spoke, "Wu Jiangan, is that Wu Jiangan that the young lady is talking about?"

"What Wu Jiang'an? How many Wu Jiang'ans could there be? Just now a young master told me that An Le is sending invitations to people everywhere, hoping that someone will take me as a concubine! This Wu Jiang'an has already made a big fuss in their academy, saying that he wants to take me as a concubine. I have to find out who she is." An Qiao said it with some ease, even with a hint of sarcasm.

If she wasn't afraid that Dongzhi and the little girls would misunderstand her, An Qiao would even want to say, I must find out about my future husband.

"Young lady, don't be so indifferent. From what you said, it must be the Wu Jiangan we all know. Wu Jiangan is a famous playboy in Kyoto Prefecture. His father is still the imperial teacher of Dayan Dynasty. He is rich, powerful and influential, and he has brothers and sisters who love him. It can be said that he is the luckiest person among all the people I know." Dongzhi thought of the playboy who dared to kidnap the young lady in the street and who was dealt with by someone no matter what major crime he committed. They are all human beings, but his life is too good.

It’s not enough that he has no worries about food and clothing, but no matter what he does, there is always someone to clean up his mess.

An Qiao opened her mouth, "I really have a lot of face... I can provoke the God of Plague anytime and anywhere, right?"

Except for An Qiao, everyone looked anxious.

This is not something to be joked about. The other party is powerful and influential. Even if the young lady has a title, it is only of the lowest level.

In front of the legitimate son of the national teacher, there was a man without a father or a mother, who entered the palace, had never been betrothed at the age of 18, had not much dowry, had no one to support him, and had done business in public.

Even with that title, it won't help.

In other words, even if this matter was brought to the attention of the emperor, it would only be a "match made in heaven" to some extent.

A young lady with a title could indeed climb up to the door of the Imperial Master's Mansion. Although she could not be the main wife, and even being a concubine was difficult, Wu Jiangan originally wanted the young lady to be a concubine.

An Qiao smiled helplessly. She was also very anxious, but what else could she do?

She knew from the day she traveled through time that she was holding a hell-level copy.

If it really doesn't work, report to the police. If that still doesn't work, then you can only struggle desperately. An Qiao doesn't believe that she, a living person, has some titles and has appeared in front of the emperor.

Is it possible that the other party will snatch me away on the street?

Well, it's not impossible.

"My dear, if it doesn't work, let's close the shop and rest for a few days. Even if he wants to take you as a concubine, he won't be able to find you... If it doesn't work, just go back to the manor and hide. The manor is quite secluded. Take the escort you hired this morning and leave overnight."

Dongzhi was so anxious that he was running around in circles. Facing Wu Jiangan, he could only fight back stubbornly.

The young lady is indeed too naive. Just because she is nice to others doesn't mean the world is a beautiful place.

Who can tell what a person like Wu Jiangan will do when he goes crazy?

An Qiao sighed. She did seem a little optimistic. It was not impossible for her to escape, but did she have to escape for the rest of her life?

The little girls around her also nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, little lady, you should hide first. We can't beat them, but we can always hide from them."

An Qiao thought about it and said, "If it really doesn't work, I'll just hide away."

But not now, An Qiao still wants to fight back, if there is really no way to hide anymore.

An Qiao always felt that this was the kind of thing that could be avoided on the first day but not on the fifteenth day.

If she ran away now, she didn't know what weird ways Anle would come up with to deal with her.

Besides, if we count from the day she threw Anle out of the house, it has been almost 15 days. Although her hometown is quite far away, if she hurry, Anle's mother will soon arrive in Kyoto Prefecture.

That old lady is even more of a scoundrel. If An Qiao wasn't in the restaurant, she would cry and make a fuss, and the restaurant would probably be lost. Even if it was saved, it would probably suffer a lot of losses.

Seeing that the young lady had no intention of escaping, everyone became anxious, but there was nothing they could do.

We can't just knock her out and carry her back to the village.

An Qiao comforted everyone, "Don't be afraid, if something happens one day, just go find our regular customers. The ones from the Dali Temple, the Kyoto Yamen, Marquis An Yong, and Shen Ran... Anyway, just give us some face and come stand here for a while."

In fact, An Qiao didn’t really intend to ask them for help, she just wanted everyone to calm down and not be so anxious.

After all, these people had little to do with her. They were just diners and chefs. When the incident happened, it was considered good enough for her to have a meal in the restaurant.

I don’t know if it was An Qiao’s words that worked, or if everyone knew how stubborn An Qiao was, so no one tried to persuade her, but the anxiety in her eyes still lingered.

"Besides, no one knows whether Wu Jiangan is just bragging or joking in the academy."

Even if he is a bastard and doesn't have a wife, it is against the rules to bring a concubine into the house. Even if his parents and brothers dote on her, so what? There will still be a big fuss and it may not succeed.
