Chapter 362 - The highest treatment
Chapter 362: The highest treatment
The next morning, Ye Jiayao went to the dessert house to make cakes, and was sincere.
White porcelain plates were covered with washed and trimmed lotus leaves, and crisp rosin-crisp lotus cakes were placed on them like blooming water lilies.
The green lotus were cut into small circles, scattered and laid in fan-shaped porcelain plates, with goldfish – shaped Dingsheng cakes, like playing among lotus leaves.
In the dish, a tree was framed with jelly and decorated with yellow and glittering osmanthus cakes, like sweet osmanthus on the branches.
“Second lady, this is so beautiful. How can people eat it?” Xiangtao who came to help today was stunned and amazed to see the pastry craft of Second lady.
Ye Jiayao said with a smile: “Cooking cakes is the same as cooking. The taste is very important, but the appearance is also very important. The color, aroma and shape are indispensable.”
“But it’s too good to be destroyed.” Xiangtao’s eyeballs were going to fall off.
“That’s you. You’ll look at it later. Princes won’t be polite.” Qiao Xi brought the freshly baked silver coil.
Ye Jiayao looked at the time: “We have to hurry. They should be coming soon.”
A plate of cakes was placed on the table, and Ye Jiayao took out her collection of night-light cups. She would get everyone some wine to drink later. Unfortunately, there were no coffee beans, otherwise cakes and coffee would be the best combination.
As soon as the arrangements were made here, everyone came in through the back door. This was to avoid people’s eyes and ears. The dessert house did not entertain male guests. It was a shop rule hanging on the signboard, and it couldn’t be too ostentatious to break it. What’s more, at this time, it was always right to keep a low profile.
“Ha ha, I finally come in. This ridiculous rule can suffocate me to death.” Zhao Qixuan laughed heartily.
“Today is an exception for us,” said Little Jing.
Qiao Xi and Xiangtao went to meet them and led them to the most luxurious room.
The so – called luxury was not magnificence, but simple elegance and Zen decoration.
When entering the elegant room, the first thing that attracted everyone’s attention was the winding clear water on the ground, covered with pebbles picked up from streams, a few small brocade carp swimming in the water, with lotus leaves floating on it, and enough water lilies to make a false mess.
“Hey, what a unique design. It tastes like a meandering stream.” Zhao Qixuan praised that he immediately liked this place. The highest state of eating was the eating environment, the eating atmosphere and finally the taste.
“Yes, it took a lot of effort to repair it, and it was specially used to entertain gold card members.” Xia Chunyu smiled, saying that Yao’s ideas were many and the whole things were done well.
“My mother said she didn’t want to go when she came here. I didn’t believe. Now, I don’t want to go either.” Little Jing walked over.
Even Su Yi, who was not easily praised, said, “We’ll also get one in the villa over there.”
“Well, we share the same feelings, and I also have the same idea.” Zhao Qixuan immediately agreed and gave Su Yi a faint supercilious look.
The environment here was so quiet and elegant that it was pleasing to the eye. When people see cakes, they realize that their eyes were not enough.
“This … this is to eat? Are you sure this is for eating?” Zhao Qixuan was stunned when he looked at the plates of exquisite pastries on the table.
“Of course is to eat, maybe ask you to come, just look at it?” Ye Jiayao came in with a smile.
“Yaoyao, I don’t think there’s anything you can’t do at this time, only something we can’t think of.”
“Don’t exaggerate, it’s just a little bit of thinking,” Ye Jiayao said modestly.
“That’s not what I said. Those chefs in the palace changed their ways all day yet, but they can’t think of anything good to break their heads.” Zhao Qixuan said, frowning. “No, Yaoyao, you have to get me a gold card, or I’ll lose a lot.”
Xia Chunyu did not like it: “Hey, how did you call people? Can you call Yaoyao? Later, you can only call sister – in – law. Can’t break the rules. ”
Yaoyao was his exclusive property, and no one else could call it.
Chunfeng slowly sat down: “Second brother, I have always been very polite.”
“I also have to call elder sister, Yao elder sister if I want to call …” Little Jing smiled.
Zhao Qixuan skimmed the pie mouth: “You can call your sister-in-law your sister-in-law if you want to, after all you are a few days older than me”
Then he gave Ye Jiayao a straight salute: “Good sister – in – law! Please give me a gold card!”
Ye Jiayao laughed: “You don’t need gold cards. If you’re here, I will entertain you in person. Today, I made these cakes myself, even if the gold card member comes, he will not enjoy such treatment.”
“That is, we are all brothers. Come here and sit down.” Xia Chunyu posed as a male host, greeting everyone to sit down.
Qiao Xi served a nightlight cup and Xiangtao filled everyone.
“It is a great blessing for life to have wine and night light cups, such elegant environment, such delicious food and friends together.” Su Yi raised the glass.
“Sister-in-law, this first cup is for you.”
Zhao Qixuan intentionally saw, “Hey, why do I have to call elder sister – in – law, and you call younger sister – in – law? Isn’t this a mess?”
Su Yi gave him a slight slant: “I am older than Chunyu.”
Zhao Qixuan was depressed: “Isn’t it a husband singing with his wife?”
Su Yi’s fair face was quickly flushed and gnashed his teeth. “I think you have itchy skin,” he said.
Zhao Qixuan hurriedly bowed his head and said, “Okay, you call your sister – in – law, whatever you like.”
Everyone laughed and Su Yi’s face became redder.
Xia Chunyu raised his glass: “Come on, let’s propose a toast to everyone, good brothers, and don’t say anything outside. Whenever you can use my Xia Chunyu in the future, there will be a squeak, and I will go through fire and water.”
Little Jing echoed: “Come, drink to the good brothers.”
Everyone picked up their glasses and drank them off.
Ye Jiayao called out: “There is enough wine, but you are not allowed to get drunk. Everyone knows it in an extraordinary period.”
“Don’t worry, a jar of this wine won’t make me drunk,” Zhao Qixuan said with a smile.
While everyone was drinking wine and tasting cakes, Ye Jiayao thought of Ninth master and asked, “Why didn’t Ninth master come?”
Zhao Qixuan said, “He has already been informed and said he will come. I think something had delayed him.”
“Hey, sister – in – law, the Zuo QingYun, you let him go like this?” Zhao Qixuan asked.
Xiao Jing and chunfeng cast a glance at each other, and they ate silently. Yao had blackmailed Zuo Qingyun hard. It was estimated that he was going to die of depression these days.
Ye Jiayao gave a slight chuckle: “Of course, he can’t be let go of this way, so I decided to take out all the money that has been deposited in Datong tomorrow. I wish I could mobilize more people.”
Little Jing drew a sigh of relief: “You mean, inciting everyone to cash in on silver coins. If the amount is large enough, Datong Hui will certainly not be able to cope with it, perhaps it will collapse?”
Su Yi mused, “It’s not so easy for Datong to collapse. Several big banks failed to unite to deal with Datong years ago, which shows the depth of the story. However, it is still possible to create some trouble for Datong.”
The following words, needless to say, everyone knew that Datong Hui could be said to be King Yu’s vault. They didn’t know it before, but now they know it. Naturally, They couldn’t put the money in King Yu’s vault any more, creating some trouble for Datong Hui, and King Yu would be even more in trouble.
“No problem, I’ll contact my friend tomorrow and empty out the Jinling Datong Exchange first.” Zhao Qixuan waved his arm and said with great vigour.
Xia Chunyu smiled coldly at the bottom of his eyes. If it were only hundreds of thousands of taels, it would not be possible to hit Datong Hui, but Yao has 3.6 million dollars in her hand and Zhao Qixuan won’t have less. The Catering Chamber of Commerce also said to Yao, who had been running a restaurant for so many years and had no financial means. If he start some more, he can gather together tens of millions of taels, that would be enough for Datong Hui to have a good drink.
A few people downplayed it and set off a financial storm in Jinling City.
There was a knock at the door.
Xiangtao went to open the door, and it was Ninth master who came.
“I’m sorry, everyone, I’m late.”
“Ninth master is very busy. Come and sit here.” Zhao Qixuan patted the seat around him and asked him to sit with him.
“I’m afraid I’m going to disturb you today,” said Ninth master. “The boys who set fire to the fire mentioned last time have already been caught, aren’t they, Heir-son Lord and Second lady …”
Xia Chunyu’s eyes were full of color: “What kind of arson?”
Zhao Qixuan said, “You don’t know about this yet?”
Ye Jiayao pie mouth: “I haven’t had time to say.”
“What’s going on?” Xia Chunyu asked with a heavy voice.
Ye Jiayao said: “Shortly after you left, someone set fire to the training class in the middle of the night. A torch was set on fire at the old residence of Duan Qirin. Fortunately, there were no casualties. I asked Ninth master to help me find the gangsters who set fire to it. It was a pity that they slipped away. Now they sneak back for the New Year and were caught red – handed.”
Ye Jiayao had a good opinion of this man in his forties, and he has always been at ease after all this time.
Zhao Qixuan patted Ninth master on the shoulder: ” Nice bro, but since people are in your hands, they are not afraid to run away. Let’s eat and drink first, and then judge them when we are full.”
“Yes, don’t have to be in a hurry at this moment, Ninth master. Thank you for your help and kindness. I’ll drink tea instead of wine.” Ye Jiayao raised her glasses to Ninth master.
“I dare not, madam, don’t mention it. Zhao’s business is my business, Zhao’s friend is my friend, and it is incumbent upon me.”
Xia Chunfeng began to be absent – minded, and others did not know, but he knew that the arson was caused by Zheng Sanduo, who was ordered by Liuli. Those gangsters took money to handle affairs. Who knew if Zheng Sanduo would be faithful to his promise, and that Zheng Sanduo was also unreliable and might bite out Liuli.
He didn’t want to cover up Liuli, but this happened and made him very embarrassed.
