In the inner courtyard kitchen, the family of three quickly prepared the meal. The dishes she served were: pickled fish fillets, boiled pork slices, spicy chicken and hawthorn pork ribs. As for seaweed rice rolls, duck products and conchs, they were not considered dishes, but only snacks.
Because we had braised pork, we didn’t serve braised pork.
As for the rest of the dishes, they were all prepared according to the banquet at Tianfulou.
Chunju came over and took a look. Her originally anxious face was instantly filled with smiles. She hadn't expected Yu Ruyue's family to have such good cooking skills! No matter what dish they made, it was always well-made!
She quickly waved to the four maids behind her who were testing poison. The four people immediately came over with silver needles and bowls and chopsticks. They first inserted the silver needles into each of the food to test the poison, then used the public chopsticks to pick up a little food, put it into the silver bowl, put it into the mouth with the silver chopsticks, tasted it carefully, and swallowed it into the stomach. After waiting for about half an incense stick of time, two people dressed as doctors immediately took the pulse of the two maids.
After confirming that the food was not poisonous, Chunju immediately ordered the dozen or so maids following behind her to quickly and carefully bring the food to the banquet hall.
Yu Ruyue watched the food being sent away one by one, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that her mission was completed, and she just had to wait to collect the money.
Just at this moment, Manager Fei, who was supposed to be lying in bed because of a stomachache, appeared in the kitchen with a rosy complexion.
When Chunju saw him like this, she didn't know that this man did it on purpose. Thinking of Aunt Hua's weird behavior in front of her, she became even more furious.
Manager Fei said provocatively with a smile: "Miss Chunju! How can it be such a coincidence? You just finished cooking, and I am feeling better again."
Chunju ignored the villain and turned away with her men. Manager Fei was not annoyed at all. Instead, he walked straight to Yu Ruyue and said inexplicably, "What a pity!" Then he left with a big laugh.
Yu Ruyue sniffed, smelling the fumes and faint sweet-scented osmanthus scent emanating from Shopkeeper Fei...
She was a little confused. The dishes were clearly served on time, and the banquet was about to begin. Why were they so happy when their plan failed? And why did they have time to provoke?
Could it be that their plan is more than just this!?
In fact, if she had not appeared, with the ability of the Li family, it would only be a matter of time to find a reliable and tight-lipped person to come and cook. If Qin Wanrou had a little brains, she could also delay this period of time, and in the end there would be no substantial harm, and even Manager Fei and others would be punished.
But what if Manager Fei and the others hadn't even considered stopping the banquet from starting?!
What a pity! ?
Manager Fei looked at him and said, "What a pity!"
She recalled the sweat on Manager Fei's forehead and the faint scent of oil on his body. An idea popped into her mind, and she was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat.
"broken!"
“There’s something wrong with the food!”
Yu Dehou and Liang Shulan were confused. "Didn't they check the dish several times? How could there be a problem?"
Yu Ruyue quickly took off her apron and stuffed it into her mother's hands.
"Kisaragi!"
"Where are you going? Don't wander around, we don't know the way!"
Yu Ruyue turned around and warned, "Stay here, don't leave with strangers, and don't panic no matter what news you hear. Don't worry, I know the way, wait for me to come back!"
After Yu Ruyue finished speaking, she quickly ran towards the front yard!
Fortunately, when Chunju took her to meet Qin Wanrou, she introduced how to get to the banquet!
She ran hurriedly all the way, hoping to catch up with the person delivering the vegetables, but she never did. She even bumped into a man who suddenly appeared at a fork in the road!
The man in light blue stumbled and took several steps back before finally stopping. Yu Ruyue looked up and saw that the man in blue was very handsome, holding a folding fan. He looked like a young master from a wealthy family. She was so scared that she apologized repeatedly, "Sir, I'm so sorry, I was so anxious that I didn't notice you!"
The man seemed to be in a hurry as well, and quickly waved his hand, "It's okay! Miss, you don't have to apologize. I was in a hurry and didn't see you. If you have something to do, just go and do it!"
Yu Ruyue didn't expect that this man would be so easy to talk to. She said a few polite words and hurriedly ran towards the banquet door.
As soon as he arrived, he was stopped by the people at the door.
"What do you do? How come you've never seen anyone outside the area being prohibited from entering?"
Yu Ruyue quickly said, "I'm the eldest young lady's subordinate, and I need to talk to Miss Chunju about something."
The man looked Yu Ruyue up and down and said, "Then you wait here. I'll go in and call Miss Chunju out."
Yu Ruyue paced back and forth anxiously at the door, and finally saw Chunju walking towards her from a distance.
Chunju didn't expect it to be Yu Ruyue. She asked in surprise, "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to wait there? The lady will naturally pay you after she has served the guests."
Yu Ruyue quickly pulled Chunju aside and told her her analysis.
Chunju was suddenly shocked.
"What!? Are you sure? Then can you guess which dish it is?"
On the way here, Yu Ruyue went over all the dishes in her mind and finally locked on a single dish. "Braised pork! I can smell the aroma of braised pork oil and the sweet osmanthus fragrance on Manager Fei! He clearly hasn't been in the kitchen, yet he has been exposed to these two aromas."
"So either he made a new batch of poisonous braised pork somewhere else, or he even came into contact with the braised pork from Tianfulou. I think the former is more likely! That way, it would be easier to frame someone after the incident..."
Chunju was immediately horrified. "What should we do? We don't know which one has been tampered with, and we can't openly inspect it. Besides, the dean of Tiande Academy loves the braised pork from Tianfulou. If we don't serve that dish, some people will inevitably make a fuss."
