After dying early, I traveled to ancient times and became a boy

The story begins one afternoon. Ye Xunqing was busy for half a day and had used up all the ingredients prepared by Ke Lai Lou today, so he planned to let the waiters go home and rest first.

But before they could leave, seven or eight big men suddenly broke into their store carrying a sick person.

The leading man came up and started cursing, "You black-hearted beasts! My old man ate your food and now he's too sick to get up! Pay me, pay me!"

The guy who was wiping the table was so scared when he saw so many big men that he hid inside.

Song Yuzhu was originally counting the bills at the counter. Seeing so many people coming in, she was very scared, but she was half a boss, so she could still go up and say a few words to them.

"Heroes, what do you mean?" Song Yuzhu stepped forward and said with an apologetic smile, "If you have something to say, please talk it over nicely. You can't just come up and start cursing at me."

The big man didn't speak politely because she was a woman. Instead, he glared at her and said, "Don't you understand me? My old man ate the food you sell and is now too sick to get up."

Song Yuzhu glanced back and saw a pale old man lying on a bamboo couch.

"This……"

"When did the old man fall ill?" Ye Xunqing came down from the second floor, and Feng Jingheng followed behind him, holding a stick as thick as a bowl in his hand.

When those people saw Feng Jingheng, they were a little scared, but when they thought that they were in the right, they felt more confident.

"I'm asking you a question. When did your grandfather fall ill?" Ye Xunqing raised his voice and asked again.

The big man was stunned, his eyes rolled around, and he said, "Three quarters past noon."

Ye Xunqing smiled, "When did your old man come here to eat?"

"Noon, noon!" The big man said anxiously, "Don't ask so many questions. Hurry up and compensate me. The food has made people sick. I don't think you can keep this shop open."

"I ate at noon, and the attack occurred at 3:30 pm. It took quite a long time to develop." Ye Xunqing turned to Feng Jingheng and said, "Ah Heng, what do you think?"

Feng Jingheng said, "It's already past 5 p.m., and a few hours past noon. You're just coming now. I'm afraid you haven't discussed this at home, right?"

"This..." The big man was at a loss for words.

"Don't try to shirk responsibility. My old man only ate your food. He didn't eat anything else." A skinny monkey jumped out and shouted, "Come and judge for yourself. They made someone sick after eating their food, and they're not willing to pay compensation. How can that be justified?"

A lot of people gathered at the door to watch the fun.

"His food is so expensive, and he still eats bad people. He is really evil-hearted."

"That's right, with so many adults coming to his house for dinner, I'm afraid they must have paid bribes."

"Don't say that. The food there is delicious and the ingredients are fresh. I've eaten there several times and there's nothing wrong with it."

Ye Xunqing let them discuss it. The more people came, the better, because he had already guessed what was going on today.

When you are famous, you will be surrounded by gossip. Some people are jealous of your good business.

"Boss Ye, please speak up. Is there anything wrong with your food?"

Someone in the crowd shouted worriedly.

Ye Xunqing raised his hand and said, "Everyone, please be patient. I will give you a satisfactory explanation for what happened today. If there is indeed a problem with our food, we will definitely compensate you. But if it is not our fault, if someone deliberately comes to cause trouble, we will never let him off easily."

The people who came to cause trouble looked at each other and were a little scared.

Only the skinny guy and the strong man were still shouting.

Skinny Monkey said: "Our old man ate your food, otherwise why would he fall ill? The doctor said that a lot of silver is needed to pay, so you should pay quickly."

Ye Xunqing took a look at the old man's clothes. His clothes were clean, but there were some patches on the cuffs. His cheeks were thin, and he didn't look like a wealthy man.

"Please be patient." Ye Xunqing asked, "You said your father fell ill after eating our food. What did he eat for lunch?"

"How would I know? My old man ate it." Skinny Monkey insisted that there was something wrong with the food. "No matter what he ate, it's your food anyway."

Ye Xunqing shook his head slightly, "Do you know the price of our food here?"

Skinny Monkey paused, "Why would I want to know the price of your food?"

"Excuse me, but with the way you're dressed, you can't afford the food here." Ye Xunqing casually picked up a menu. "See the dish on this: stewed chicken with mushrooms? The chicken here is a hens that are over a year old, and the mushrooms are wild mushrooms from the mountains of Northeast China. There are three kinds of wild mushrooms, as well as the best wolfberries and codonopsis. A pot of soup costs only one or two taels of silver, and that's still cheap."

Skinny Monkey was shocked for a moment, "So... so expensive?"

One tael of silver was enough to cover their entire family's expenses for a month.

"Tell me, what did your old man eat for lunch? I'll calculate the price for him." Ye Xunqing pulled out a bench and sat down. "Sit down and think about it carefully before you speak."

Feng Jingheng thrust the wooden pillar in front of everyone and said, "Think carefully before you speak. If anyone dares to speak nonsense, I will shove this pillar into his mouth."

The troublemakers showed timid expressions and wanted to back off.

"Since you all don't know, I'll just ask the old man directly." Ye Xunqing said, "Ah Heng, go see if the old man can still move. If he can, ask him a few questions."

Feng Jingheng was carrying the wooden pillar over there. The old man caught a glimpse of Feng Jingheng out of the corner of his eye and thought he was coming to hit him, so he immediately jumped off the bamboo couch.

"Don't hit me, don't hit me, I'm fine, they paid me to come here." The old man begged for mercy.

Ye Xunqing felt frustrated. Before he could even show off his eloquence, the man had already surrendered.

"Oh, you look so lively and energetic, you don't seem to be sick." Ye Xunqing looked at the big men, "What do you think?"

The skinny monkey said anxiously: "You old fool, who told you to jump down? Hurry up and get up!"

Ye Xunqing said: "Did you see that? They came here on purpose to extort money!"

Just as he finished speaking, someone came in carrying a bamboo couch. On the couch was an old lady lying with a crying little girl beside her.

"Grandma, grandma, please wake up!" the little girl cried, "If something happens to you, what will I do alone?"

The person who carried the old lady in said, "Someone got sick from eating the food in Kelailou. Hurry up and pay me!"

They didn't even look at other people, just kept shouting with their eyes closed.

Ye Xunqing was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "I think I just read this script."

Feng Jingheng nodded and said, "Old man, old lady, who should come next?"
