Adorable Food Goddess

Chapter 19 Suspected

Song Qi asked questions, Peng Wu answered while eating, Ye Jiayao listened quietly, and finally got a general idea.

The undercover agent sent by Heifenggang to Xinyi Town overheard the secret conversation between the special envoy of the imperial court and Feng Chaolin.

The undercover agent was discovered before he could hear any more secrets. He escaped from Xinyi with his light work, but was seriously injured. He hid in a stronghold at the foot of the mountain in Heifenggang. Erdangjia and Chunyu rushed to At that time, people from Xinyi also came to the door, and the two sides fought, the undercover was shot to death, and the second leader was shot. A bloody path escaped.

"There are people from the imperial court on the mountain? Can't it?" Song Qi was surprised.

Peng Wu glanced at the third master who was eating in silence, and said, "The eldest master said that everyone who went up the mountain later will be suspected."

Ye Jiayao's heart skipped a beat, she knew that Chunyu had gone up the mountain half a year ago, could Chunyu be an undercover agent sent by the imperial court?

"But later, more people went up the mountain. How many brothers have come to the village in the past six months, how can I find out?" Song Qi said.

"How do I know?" Peng Wu said vaguely after taking a bite of his meal.

Xia cChun put down the bowl and chopsticks, got up and went back to the room. Ye Jiayao froze for a moment, then chased after her.

Sitting in front of the desk, Xia Chunyu frowned slightly and was lost in thought.

Ye Jiayao walked in and asked softly, "Chunyu, do you want some tea?"

Xia Chunyu's focus was on her, and he looked at her quietly for a while, Ye Jiayao's heart fluttered, okay! She admitted that she had a guilty conscience, so she was a little more courteous.

"The boss is suspicious of me." He said suddenly.

Ye Jiayao was stunned, and said falteringly: "No, it's impossible! If it weren't for you, the second leader would have died. If you were sent by the court, why did you save him?"

Ye Jiayao said so, but in her heart she hoped that he was really an undercover agent. It would be a pity for him to be a bandit with such a good-looking talent and outstanding martial arts skills.

"Perhaps the head of the family thinks that I did this to gain his trust." Xia Chunyu's lips curled up, his expression indifferent.

"Did the boss say something?" Ye Jiayao asked uneasily. Regardless of whether he is an undercover agent or not, once he loses the trust of the leader, his position in Heifenggang will be in jeopardy. She is his person, and if he is unlucky, he will also be unlucky with her. They are grasshoppers on a rope.

Xia Chunyu was silent, and his self-deprecating meaning became more and more obvious. Ye Jiayao licked her dry lips, and said comfortingly, "Don't think too much, it's normal for the big boss to have doubts when something like this happens, and the clearer is clearer, facts speak louder than words."

"The head of the family knows why I went up the mountain. He can question my ability, but he can't question my intentions. In this life, what I hate the most is the imperial court. I settled down with a family of more than 130 people because of trumped-up charges. I was ransacked and beheaded by all the families, I escaped by chance, was chased all the way, from Jiangnan to Qilu, and finally had to go up the mountain and become a bandit. I can accept whatever the big boss says about me, but this is not enough." Xia Chunyu's eyes became cold. Lie, revealing strong hatred and hurt.

Uh... It turns out that he is also a hard-working person. Sure enough, there is a sad story behind every bandit.

Ye Jiayao didn't know what to say, so she went to pour him a cup of tea silently, only to hear him sigh again: "Forget it, now I just hope that the second boss is okay, and things will come to light one day."

Ye Jiayao nodded, seeing that there was a circle of blue under his eyes. He must have been exhausted after running back and forth for two days and one night, and went through fierce battles, so she said, "Let's rest early tonight!"

As soon as Ye Jiayao went out, Xia cChunyu's complexion turned cold. He glanced at the pen holder on the table and the books on the bookshelf, and the warmth that had been bred before was gone. The placement of all the objects in this study is not random, and he can see even the slightest change. Nothing else, but this pen holder...

Xia Chunyu picked up the pen holder and opened the mechanism, the base was separated, the small piece of paper was still there, and he closed it immediately. Maybe he was overthinking, seeing that the study was spotless, maybe it was because she moved while cleaning.

Now that he is in a difficult situation and he is easily blamed, he has to be more cautious, and He Lianxuan can't be contacted for the time being. Xia Chunyu closed his eyes irritably, he must find a way to gain the trust of the first head, the second head was seriously injured and could not recover in a short time, this crisis is also an opportunity for him to seize power.

At night, Ye Jiayao tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

"Chunyu, are you asleep?"

"Hmm... asleep."

Ye Jiayao pursed her lips, can she still respond when she is asleep?

"Chunyu, do you think I'll help the second head cook tomorrow?" Ye Jiayao asked.

Xia Chunyu's breathing was stagnant, he got up, touched the flint and lit the oil lamp, squinted his eyes and looked at her: "Why?"

Ye Jiayao said weakly: "Didn't the second head get hurt? You have to be more particular about your food."

"Are you so kind?" Xia cChun sniffed, doubting her intentions.

"What tone are you talking about? Didn't I do this for you?" Ye Jiayao resentfully said.

Xia Chunyu laughed: "For me?"

"For you is also for myself, no matter whether the head of the family doubts you or not, we can do something for them as much as we can," Ye Jiayao said.

Xia cChun thought for a while: "It's up to you." Then he turned off the lights.

Cut... Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes in the dark, and began to think about what to cook for the second boss tomorrow. In fact, she still has a careful thought to please the second master. There are many doubts about her being kidnapped, and she hopes to find useful information from the second master.

After going up the mountain, Ye Jiayao got up with Chunyu for the first time.

"Chunyu, what do you do when you get up so early every day?" Ye Jiayao was sleepy and yawning. For a person like her who loves to stay in bed, it is really hard to understand why some people can resist their dependence on the bed.

"I'll go for a walk on the mountain." Xia cChunyu had already put on his clothes, took the bow and arrow hanging on the wall and went out.

Are you going hunting? Ye Jiayao pouted, tidied up and went to the kitchen.

The rice was soaked last night. Add water and baking soda to the pot and stew it on a steady fire. The porridge stewed in this way is particularly sticky and has a fragrance. It is easy to digest. It is the best for patients to eat. Unfortunately, there are no red dates , otherwise, throw a few into it, and it will also have the effect of invigorating blood and nourishing qi.

The noodles also woke up last night, and Song Qi just woke up, Ye Jiayao entrusted Song Qi with the task of making the noodles, and today she has to find the ingredients by herself.

Song Qidao: "Sister-in-law, you'd better ask Peng Wu to accompany you, or else Old Yutou will be very stingy."

Every time he went, he relied on robbery, and the old man couldn't do anything about it, but his sister-in-law was thin-skinned, so she might not be able to do this.

Hearing this, Peng Wu happily said, "Sister-in-law, I'll accompany you."

The person that Lao Yutou annoys the most now is Song Qi. Every time he comes back, he can't help but take away the best ones. Unexpectedly, the guy he hates more than Song Qi is still to come.

Ye Jiayao walked around the kitchen, completely ignoring Lao Yutou's wary gaze, pointed at the pork liver, and Peng Wu put it in the basket.

Old Yutou said anxiously: "That's for the second head."

Ye Jiayao smiled and said, "I just cook it for the second master."

Old Yutou said unhappily: "I have always cooked the meals for the second head, when did I hand them over to you?"

Ye Jiayao didn't take it seriously: "It's an extraordinary time now, the second head of the family needs to eat better, what delicious food can you make with that big pot of vegetables?"

"Third Madam, don't think that you are great because you can cook two small dishes. Old Yutou was born as a chef, can you compare?" An old lady snorted.

It was the aunt who deliberately put out the fire earlier.

Aunt Jiang said aside, "Third Madam's cooking is no worse than that of chefs in restaurants."

"Aunt Jiang, don't think that I don't know that your family wants to curry favor with the third leader. It's delicious to fart, no worse than a chef in a restaurant. Have you ever been in a restaurant in your life? Do you have such a life?" the aunt choked. road.

Aunt Jiang blushed with anger, put her hands on her hips, and said in a rough voice: "Aunt Wu, keep your mouth clean, don't think that I dare not beat you."

"Come on, come on, beat me up if you have the ability, I'm still afraid that you won't succeed?" Aunt Wu was not to be outdone.

The two aunts rubbed their fists and looked about to move their hands.

Ye Jiayao didn't want Aunt Jiang to fight with others because of her, so she shouted: "That's all right, all right, why are you arguing? Everyone is for the second boss, and they are all brothers and sisters of their own family, so there is no need to quarrel."

Aunt Jiang and Aunt Wu stared at each other, snorted coldly, and then reluctantly separated.

Old Yutou said: "Third Madam, it's not that I am old Yutou stingy, there are regulations on the daily food ration in the cottage, thousands of brothers have to eat, if one end is thicker, the other end is short, how much you want to take earlier is up to you." How much to take, I have nothing to say, but now, the head of the family has given orders to put down the Broken Dragon Stone. Without the order of the head of the house, no one is allowed to go down the mountain. If you don’t go down the mountain, there will be no supplies. Everyone has to tighten their belts and live economically. From now on, if you want to take it, you can only take your own share. If there is more, half a tael will not do. As for the meals of the second master, there is no order from the master. I am old and dare not entrust others to do it. Please come back again, Master."

Ye Jiayao was at a loss for words, what Old Yutou said was reasonable, she couldn't argue with it, looked at Peng Wu, Peng Wu nodded with a face of embarrassment, and whispered: "Let's ask the boss first!"

Nima, it's so troublesome to please the second boss.

No matter how thick-skinned Ye Jiayao was, she still had to speak a word of reason, so the ingredients for this day were only a few potatoes, a few sections of fresh lotus root, two tomatoes, two handfuls of cowpeas, and a catty of pork belly.

Ye Jiayao looked at the vegetables in the basket depressedly, how could this be enough to eat? There are three big stomach kings in the family!

Peng Wu said: "I don't know when the Dragon-Breaking Stone will be put down this time. It may be a hard time, but it's not a big deal. There are many birds and animals on the mountain. When the time comes, Song Qi and I will go up the mountain." Go hunting, get some wild game for a tooth sacrifice."

Ye Jiayao sighed unhappily, and had no choice but to do so.
