Chapter 228 The villagers are here
Shen Yitian didn't know what that person was thinking.
They were clearly at odds with each other, but he still disguised himself and sneaked back to teach the chef how to cook.
The cook even said, "He even specifically told me what seasonings to use when cooking for the young lady, and what I should pay attention to."
Shen Yitian thought, no wonder she sometimes felt that this dish was fragrant and familiar, and sometimes felt that it was not so familiar.
When we were getting to know each other, he was the one who gave us guidance.
What was he after? Did he think she would give up the treasures once she had eaten?
Daydreaming.
Ignoring the cook's words, Shen Yitian prepared to set off after Xiao Wei hitched up the carriage.
She was worried about leaving Song Wanshi alone here, so Xiao Wei had to stay as well.
Before leaving, she handed the bamboo tube given by Ye Lingqiu to Xiao Wei, and told him to use it for help if anything unexpected happened.
Xiao Wei was a little surprised: "Isn't this the same as the one given by Hunter Ye before, Miss? The one that was released just attracted that powerful little girl."
Shen Yitian looked at him confusedly: "What kind of powerful little girl?"
"Last time, someone came to smash up our shop. After I set off the fireworks the hunter gave me, a very powerful little girl showed up. She was really good at fighting. Oh, by the way, didn't that little girl come to congratulate you on your grand opening a few days ago? The one with the lion dance. Miss, didn't you know about it? She seemed so familiar with you, I thought you knew about it a long time ago."
The corners of Shen Yitian's mouth twitched again and again.
She said that it was impossible for a little girl to come and celebrate for no reason, considering that she was Ye Lingqiu's person.
"If you encounter something you can't solve, just put this here. You're welcome," she advised.
Anyway, the original plan was to open this restaurant with Ye Lingqiu. Since he was instructing the chef on how to cook, she would give a tenth of the profits to the bandit leader.
Since he can share the profits, he also has the responsibility to protect the restaurant.
After Shen Yitian got on the carriage, the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose.
Shen Yitian felt it was a good deal to exchange a portion of the dividends for the Forty-Eight Villages' guarantee of the restaurant's safety.
Just consider it as protection money.
Although she didn't know whether the Forty-Eight Villages would be effective in Lingnan, Ye Lingqiu was good at martial arts, and Xiao Wei said that the little girl was also very good at martial arts, so these two people would be enough.
In Maoer Village, the villagers knew that Shen Yitian's restaurant had opened and that a lot of fish had to be transported away from the village every day. Everyone was looking forward to her return.
As soon as the carriage entered the village, children went to deliver letters. When she returned to the new house, the villagers had already spontaneously rushed over with things.
They rushed to get there, fearing that they would be too late to sell their catch.
Grandma Li didn't know she was back and was still embroidering in the sun in the yard.
The sun is not warm today, and she is not feeling well, so she still wears a cotton coat.
When she saw Shen Yitian coming back, her eyes lit up and she subconsciously wanted to put down her things and go to meet her.
But when she remembered what Shen Yitian had said before, she stopped again.
Looking at Shen Yitian from a distance, he bowed and said, "Miss, you're back. Did you have a safe journey?"
Shen Yitian hummed, "Everything was fine along the way, and the restaurant is also very good. You're not feeling well, and embroidery is harmful to your health, so take some rest."
Grandma Li nodded flatteredly: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, young lady. I'll stop embroidering after I finish this one."
She also wanted to ask, if she didn't do embroidery, how would she pass the time if she was alone in this new house?
But she didn't ask. Shen Yitian had already become very distant from her. If she still didn't know how to proceed...
Grandma Li didn't dare to think further. She just politely invited Shen Yitian into the house and made tea for her.
Shengsheng used to do these things, and she had to do them, but she hadn't seen Shen Yitian for a long time, and she wanted to make a cup of tea for her lady herself.
Shen Yitian didn't mention the past anymore. She took the tea she handed to her with both hands, asked about her health in detail, and felt relieved only after confirming that there was nothing unusual.
Outside the house, the villagers who came spontaneously had already blocked the entrance.
"Dragon Lady, look at my fish. They are big and fresh."
"Dragon Lady, look at my shrimps. We just caught them today. They're so lively that they jumped out of the bucket without me noticing."
"Dragon Lady, look at my house!"
"And me, and me too. Madam Dragon Girl, please be kind and take a look at my house!"
The villagers were shouting one after another. Shen Yitian, who had just arrived home and had no time to rest, heard the noise and brought Shengsheng out.
At this time, the wife of Old Xu's family came over, and as soon as she came, she yelled at everyone to stop arguing.
"The Dragon Queen just came back and hasn't even had a chance to catch her breath yet. How can she rest if you're yelling at her like this?"
Yue Niang had seen Shen Yitian's carriage return a long time ago, but she was in the yard sorting out the fish that had been delivered and did not go over.
Hearing the noise outside, he came out.
When she saw so many people standing outside, she immediately walked to the front and asked everyone to be quiet.
From the time the restaurant started stocking up until now, Yue Niang has been in charge of collecting the seafood and arranging for the carriage to deliver it to the county town, so her words are still very authoritative among the villagers.
But it’s not the time when I first came to Cat Ear Village and no one wanted to talk to me.
"What are you doing? Why are you all gathered here?" Yue Niang held Fugui'er's hand and looked at everyone with suspicion.
Most of these villagers brought seafood and blocked the door of Shen Yitian's new house. She actually guessed what everyone was going to do.
Sure enough, a woman came out first and said to Yue Niang, "It's nothing. We just saw that the Dragon Queen was tired from traveling, so we thought of sending her some seafood to nourish her body."
Yue Niang chuckled: "Why does it look like it's blocking the door?"
The woman's eyes flickered unconsciously, but she still managed to say, "It's because everyone thought of the same thing. They wanted to send something to nourish the Dragon Lady."
Yue Niang knew this woman. She was the short woman who tricked Song Yuerong and her daughter into her home.
Yue Niang waved her hand and said, "You all should go away. The young lady just came back, let her rest."
"Yue Niang." Shen Yitian called out.
As soon as Fuguier saw Shen Yitian, he rushed over and hugged her legs tightly with both hands.
Well, this naughty kid, after not seeing him for a few days, he actually remembered his leg-holding skills again.
He has his magical leg-holding skill, and Shen Yitian naturally has her magical finger-snapping skill.
"Oh, Sister Shen, you criticize me as soon as we meet!" Fuguier stomped his feet in anger.
Shen Yitian narrowed her eyes: "You rushed over so hastily, I thought you missed my finger magic."
"Sister Shen, your hits really hurt! I'm tough because I practice martial arts. If you hit a little girl, she would definitely cry!"
Shen Yitian looked at him suspiciously: "I don't know who was the one who was beaten to tears by me."
Yue Niang pulled Fugui'er, and he stopped talking and stood obediently behind Yue Niang.
Shen Yitian also put away her mischievous look and whispered a few words in Yue Niang's ear.
Yue Niang nodded and came to the villagers again.
"Everyone, mark your catch and place it on the open space over there for me to see."
