"What happened?"

Caiyue rushed over as soon as she heard the noise and saw food scattered all over the floor.

A Dong came over and briefly explained what had happened.

Hearing this, Caiyue said to the angry middle-aged man, "Sir, you don't have to overturn the table if you say our food is unpalatable. Besides, everyone has different tastes."

"Who are you to dare to interfere in my affairs?"

Seeing that the person who spoke was only a thin woman, the middle-aged man looked disdainful and said, "Call out your shopkeeper. Why can't you say that the food in the restaurant is not good?"

"I am the owner of this Wangyue Restaurant."

Facing the middle-aged man's roar, Caiyue behaved neither arrogantly nor servilely.

"You...are the shopkeeper?"

The man was obviously stunned by Caiyue's words, and then he showed a look of contempt and disdain, "No wonder."

"Since you are a restaurant, if you can't guarantee the taste of the food, you should close it sooner rather than later, so as not to embarrass yourself by opening it here."

"What do you mean?"

A Dong was getting angry and was about to say something to the middle-aged man, but was stopped by Caiyue.

After Ye Qingluo finished reading the account book, he walked out following the noise and happened to see the scene in front of him. It must be said that after not seeing her for a while, Caiyue had become very different in the way she handled these things.

This is also what she wants to see.

Caiyue stared at the middle-aged man and felt that he looked familiar. Then she saw Ye Qingluo coming out and hurried to her side.

"What's the situation now?" Ye Qingluo asked Caiyue.

"Madam, this guy ordered all the dishes in the restaurant not long after he entered. Who would have thought that he would overturn the table and the food before he even took a few bites? He is probably here to cause trouble."

Caiyue expressed her guess. Since the restaurant opened, such things have happened more than once. Who would have thought that after things had finally calmed down, something similar would happen again.

“It’s just that this man…” Caiyue slapped her head, as if she had thought of something, and said excitedly, “Madam, I remember that another restaurant opened here a few days ago, and this man is the shopkeeper there!”

She asked why he looked so familiar and it turned out that he was here to cause trouble.

"I'll have someone kick him out." Just as Caiyue was about to call on Adong to take action, she was stopped by Ye Qingluo.

"Caiyue, sometimes being reckless won't solve any problems. Besides, there are other people here. What do you want them to think?"

"The restaurant was finally reopened, but it was ruined by these little things. It's not worth it."

Caiyue lowered her head in shame after hearing this. She had thought that after all that had happened, she would be able to solve the problem very well, but she was still far from being as good as the lady.

Seeing Caiyue leave, the middle-aged man became even more proud and started to talk nonsense.

"Boss, this guy is too arrogant. Let me teach him a lesson!"

Adong clenched his fists, eager to try.

Caiyue did not agree with Ye Qingluo's words. After thinking for a moment, she asked the person beside her, "Madam, if we don't chase them away, and they openly make trouble, what should we do?"

Allowing this person to continue making trouble is not a solution after all.

Ye Qingluo did not answer Caiyue's words, but walked forward and asked the middle-aged man, "Sir, you just said that these dishes are unpalatable, what is the basis for your statement?"

The middle-aged man glanced at Ye Qingluo. Although the person in front of him was a woman, the demeanor she exuded was incomparable to that of ordinary people. He restrained his attitude a little and pointed at the dishes on the ground and said, "This one is too salty, that one is too bland, and there is..."

All the dishes in the restaurant became worthless when described by the middle-aged man.

The people present were talking about it, and some even suggested returning the money.

Ye Qingluo was not annoyed and still had a faint smile on his face.

"You can describe the nature of these foods so accurately, could it be related to the restaurant?"

The middle-aged man was so flattered by Ye Qingluo that he immediately became complacent and patted his chest and said, "Of course, I have a distant relative who works as a royal chef in the palace."

"Imperial chef, do you understand the meaning of this?"

"Everyone, this restaurant wasn't very good before, and now the food is also so unpalatable. It just so happens that I opened a restaurant not far from here and invite everyone to go and try it for free!"

When they heard that it was free, everyone present was instantly excited.

"Do you need to flatter the powerful and bully the weak when you run your own restaurant?"

Caiyue couldn't help it. This man had his purpose written right on his face. It was really too much.

"Little girl, it's a fact that your dishes don't taste good. I have the mouth, so I can say whatever I want."

"Even if you go to the government, I am not afraid of you."

"In that case, let's have a competition."

Just when everyone was about to break out into an argument, Ye Qingluo's words suddenly made everyone present quiet down.

"Madam?" Caiyue was puzzled. She wanted to pay attention to the other party even though his purpose was so obvious.

The middle-aged man also looked hesitant, and after hearing Caiyue's attitude towards the woman in front of him, he tentatively asked, "Can you be the owner of this restaurant?"

"I'm the owner of this restaurant. Do you think I can be the boss?"

"Okay!" The middle-aged man agreed immediately and laughed, "So you are the wife of Marquis Pingyuan. I heard that this restaurant is your dowry."

"I accept this competition. Will it be held tomorrow?"

"But I have to say this in advance. If the dishes in your restaurant are not as good as ours, not only will you have to pay me and everyone else here double the money, but this Wangyue Restaurant will also have to close!"

"What if you lose?"

The middle-aged man seemed to have never thought about this, and laughed loudly, "If my restaurant loses, I will close it immediately and compensate you for the silver, how about that?"

"I will also invite my distant relative who works as a royal chef in the palace, as well as the people around here to be witnesses."

The middle-aged man seemed to have foreseen victory in the competition and was very arrogant.

"it is good."

Ye Qingluo responded.

"Everyone has seen and heard it. If anyone regrets, don't blame me for being rude."

The middle-aged man did not forget to remind the people present.

Everyone was happy to see this happen, and after the middle-aged man left, they all left the restaurant.

"Madam, this competition..."

Looking at the empty restaurant, Caiyue had a worried look on her face. "If the other party really has a distant relative working as a royal chef in the palace, I'm afraid we have no chance of winning."

“Besides, the aroma from that restaurant can be smelled as soon as we pass by it. To some extent, we are indeed…” Caiyue lowered her head. This was why she thought that they were just looking for trouble and wanted to drive them out.

"It hasn't even started yet, why are you saying such discouraging things? Besides, it's still unclear who will win or lose."

Caiyue opened her eyes wide and asked happily, "So, Madam, you already have a solution?"
