If you want to eat more this time, you have to eat less the next time. At first, the people at Kyoto Restaurant thought it was too demanding, but seeing that everyone was getting used to this pattern, they thought it might not be too demanding.

Doing so is more conducive to long-term development, and everyone should be on guard against things like favors being taken as a favor, and grudges being retaliated against.

Tong Shan helped An Qiao bring out the big pot, and everyone in the yard sat together and started eating.

Tong Shan and the others were fine, they just missed the food An Qiao made. The others were different, they all praised it as the best food in the world, they had never eaten such delicious food before.

In fact, An Qiao just relied on the fact that she had been working in the field of food in her previous life, and practice makes perfect. She also knew many cooking methods and spices that ancient people did not know.

This is why even if Kyoto restaurants change chefs, everyone still thinks the food is delicious.

Every time An Qiao hires people, she will specially select some who have some cooking skills, and use her various secrets and recipes in the restaurant, even making the sauces herself.

It naturally tastes better.

In fact, this is also a kind of chain reaction. If the food in the restaurant is good, people will be curious about what kind of sauce is used to cook it.

They would go to the grocery store to buy it and try it themselves. Although it was still not as delicious as the one bought directly from the restaurant, they could still taste the same flavor, and the grocery store's business improved.

Everyone sat together and ate their fill. Although An Qiao was here, most people were not used to it and did not sit down and start talking nonsense like before.

But she didn't feel uncomfortable at all. An Qiao didn't talk to them much. She just kept eating quietly, and only spoke a few words to the Tong family members occasionally.

"Next time I come, I will bring some flower seeds and other vegetable seeds that can be purchased. After that, I will study how to make soap, and then I will bring some people with me." An Qiao gave Tong Shan another instruction before getting on the carriage.

Tong Shan nodded, and then spoke hesitantly, "Young lady, you are still a girl, so it is not convenient for me to tell you these things, but our Tong Yiyi is getting older, and it may be difficult for him to find a wife in the future. If you have a suitable one, you can introduce me to one."

As soon as Tong Shan finished speaking, An Qiao was stunned.

Tong Yiyi is only fourteen or fifteen years old now, which is still a child nowadays, but in ancient times, people had to consider getting married and having children.

Tong Shan just thought that An Qiao was embarrassed, so he smiled and said, "If you feel embarrassed, just think that what I said today was too rude. We will take care of it."

An Qiao waved her hands quickly, "No, no, I just think Yi Yi is still quite small."

"How is he young? He is almost 15 years old now. The young lady has high hopes for him and lets him manage such a big shop. It will be a difficult matter if he doesn't get married." Tong Shan said hurriedly, as if he was afraid that An Qiao would say that Tong Yiyi was young and would not introduce him to someone.

An Qiao could only nod and said, "I understand. I'll help keep an eye out."

Tong Shan then waved his hand in relief and told An Qiao to be careful along the way.

An Qiao started thinking about this on the way. It turned out that in everyone's eyes, she should be considered an unmarried woman of advanced age.

Also, what kind of things does Yi Yi like? You still have to find out what your child likes indirectly, otherwise it would be so tiring to live like this since he was fourteen.

......

On the other side, in the Dali Temple, several people were sorting out several cases that had been solved recently.

Originally, the cases that the Dali Temple took over were all unsolvable cases, or they were major cases selected by the emperor.

But in fact, it is not just that. Cases that cannot be handled in many places will be uploaded layer by layer and finally passed to the Dali Temple. The unresolved cases in the Dali Temple fill an entire room.

A few days ago, because there were many cases related to Huguangzhai, the small cases reported were not resolved in a timely manner.

The accidental death of an oil thief outside the city, the bride of the river god...

There are even several volumes of missing cases that have no clues. Every year, many missing cases are reported to the Dali Temple, and there are also some that are not reported to the Dali Temple.

On average, nearly a hundred girls were lost.

During the previous investigation of Huguang Residence, only four girls and five boys were reported missing.

It can be seen that the reported number of people does not match the actual number of people lost.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. Every year's temple fairs and festivals are the peak times for people to go missing. Just today, the Dali Temple received more than a dozen cases of missing children.

Gu Qingyun couldn't help but frown when he saw the people reported. "Why are so many lost this year? It's only the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they were all lost on the same street. It doesn't make sense."

Just as he finished speaking, Xin Hai came in with another large pile of scrolls, "Sir Shaoqing, here is another pile. During the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, many children were lost on every street in Kyoto Prefecture. I wonder what happened?"

Originally, cases of missing children were searched separately, but with so many children gathered so closely together, we had to think more about it.

Gu Qingyun roughly counted and found that nearly forty children were lost in one night, both boys and girls, and most of them were under eight years old.

"That's strange, why are there so many children under the age of eight?" Xinhai asked.

Gu Qingyun shook his head. "It's really weird. I wonder if it's for beggars or something else?"

"But the Kyoto Prefecture has been conducting strict inspections in the past few years. How is it possible that more than 40 children were lost for no reason?" Shinkai replied.

"Let's go and take a look at the street. It's such a big street. If so many children were missing, it would make every business seem suspicious." Gu Qingyun couldn't figure out how so many children were taken away.

The two of them walked onto the street. Perhaps because most people had heard about the missing child, the streets seemed deserted tonight.

Many shops were closed. "If they took the child away directly, it would be unlikely. But during the Mid-Autumn Festival, many people go out to see the lanterns, and probably don't pay much attention to their children. Maybe they used something to knock the child out and took him away?" Gu Qingyun looked at Xin Hai. "If you knock a child out, how long would it take you to walk from the beginning to the end of the street in a crowded crowd?"

Xin Hai measured the area and said, "It won't take long actually. If I know some Kung Fu, I can just squeeze through the crowd. If I know Kung Fu, it will take about half an hour to send a child out. If I don't know Kung Fu and just follow the crowd, it may take a quarter of an hour or even longer."

Gu Qingyun also measured the street. "If I know Kung Fu, and there is a shop on this street that I know or is my acquaintance, then I can do it even faster. Even if I don't know Kung Fu, I can just send the child over there and then steal, which will be much faster."
