Shen Shihui looked at the reservations with some confusion. Logically speaking, hotpot is very popular right now and almost every night the guests come for it. Tonight there were many more reservations, but they were all for stir-fried dishes, which was not normal.

Especially, there is fish in every dish.

You have to know that fish is different from pork. The daily supply is limited. Now that winter has arrived, there are only a few companies that can supply fish, and the quantity is small.

It’s not that we can’t order so many fish, but we’re afraid that someone is deliberately causing trouble. If that happens, even if there are fish on the market, they will all be bought up.

Shen Shihui asked the manager to go out for purchasing, and he went next door to find Zhao Qiqi.

"Aunt, there are many more guests who have made reservations tonight. There is fish for every table. The amount of fish we have in our building is not enough. I have asked someone to go out and buy some fish, but I am afraid that someone is deliberately causing trouble."

Zhao Qiqi looked at her, smiled, and called someone out.

"Yan Sui, take out all the things."

Hu Lan's due date is approaching, so Gu Yansui will stay here to accompany her in case of emergency.

The wooden basin is filled with fresh fish swimming back and forth.

Shen Shihui's eyes were filled with joy, and he looked at Zhao Qiqi in surprise: "Aunt, how did you predict this?"

"He Honglian is a person of a character. Seeing that you and I have opened a restaurant, she will definitely not give up. I have hired someone to keep an eye on their whereabouts. Today, I discovered that they bought a large amount of fish in the county, so I sent people to several towns to buy all the fish back."

In fact, it was Zhao Qiqi who bought it in the system.

There was a good show to watch today, so she went to Wufulou to help.

The fish were sent in through a passage at the back, while Zhao Qiqi entered through the main entrance.

It is still storytelling time. Zhao Qiqi is sitting in a private room on the fourth floor, listening with others.

"I wanted to find my parents and tell them that I was their daughter. But I held the child in my arms and finally made up my mind. I knocked on the door of the Salesian Home and told them that I had found a child. I didn't dare to look them in the eye, and I was afraid that they would see something, so I ran away in a hurry and didn't even look at the child again."

As soon as this sentence was spoken, the voices of the audience suddenly became louder, scattered but also merged into one.

"There is such a cruel woman in this world."

"That's right. It's better to leave the child to the Shi family. At least he will be with his relatives."

Each of these men spoke righteously, as if they were speaking up for the baby girl, but they completely forgot that it was her biological father and grandmother who had sold her.

The woman raised her head and took a look. Her eyes were dull and calm, as if they were a bottomless well.

"I want to acknowledge my relatives, but I can't make a big deal at the recognition banquet. Otherwise, when I argue with that woman, the Pei family will become a laughing stock in the entire capital. Besides, I know that in front of all the nobles in the court, there is absolutely no comparison between me and that woman. The only bargaining chip I have is that trace of blood relationship."

"The mansion was bustling with people coming and going frequently. I followed the delivery team and lent a hand to the deliveryman. The servant assumed that I came with the deliveryman. With some memory, I found the servant's room. The Pei family was tolerant of servants, and the servants had more clothes than ordinary families. I took a set at random and mixed in with the crowd to deliver food for the banquet."

"I saw Miss Pei. It was already late. She had changed into a more luxurious dress than the one I saw in the village. She was very graceful and thanked others for their congratulations. She stayed by Mrs. Pei's side. It seemed as if the mother and daughter had never been separated."

"The flame of jealousy was burning in my heart. I actually rushed to Madam Pei and said in front of everyone, Mother, I am your daughter Pei Jingshu! Can't you recognize that the woman who pretended to be in front of you is not me! I collapsed. I have been spoiled since I was a child. My parents love my brother but don't like me. I used to be a spoiled person. Why have I become so timid now? Why?"

"Come here! Arrest this troublemaker who intends to prevent me from finding my daughter. Give him a good beating and then send him to the authorities!"

"I couldn't believe it, watching my mother who used to hold me in her arms become so cold and unfamiliar. I was taken away numbly, and the boards fell on my body one after another, so densely that I didn't know where it hurt. No, I shouldn't have come to recognize it, right? Since God didn't let me grow up under my parents' lap, I shouldn't ask for anything anymore. I should take Xiao Dai with me, find a place to support myself, as long as we are together, everything will be enough, right?"

"Before I passed out, I heard someone say: It's not too much to beat such a person to death, so feel free to beat him. I tried hard to open my eyes, but I couldn't. My eyelids were heavy, and I couldn't see who was giving orders indifferently. It must be... Madam Pei."

"I was woken up by a discussion. A group of maids were betting on who was the real Miss Pei."

"It must be the eldest lady. She is so beautiful and has suffered a lot outside. She is also very kind to us servants and never lets us do any work."

"I think so too. The eldest lady and the madam look so similar. This woman is average looking and has nothing in common with the madam. Look at her yellow, black and rough skin. Even our servants wouldn't have it. Really, young lady, how could this be? If this is the case, it's really embarrassing."

"I think the Madam must have had a purpose in keeping her. Otherwise, why didn't she send her directly to the government, but kept this person pretending to be a young lady in the mansion to recuperate."

"Come on, it's just that the eldest lady is kind-hearted, so she persuaded the lady to keep this ungrateful woman."

"I opened my eyes and looked at them. At first they were a little panicked, but then they didn't care much. One of them was about to do something to me, but then Mrs. Pei and Miss Pei came in. I didn't know how to treat the mother in front of them. In their eyes, I became a dumbfounded person."

Mrs. Pei frowned and looked at me, and said to Miss Pei with some reproach but affection: Jingshu, look at you, even facing a person pretending to be you, you are so kind and still come to see her. Look at her, she doesn't seem to be grateful at all. Let's go, you have a lot of people to recognize these days."
