The autumn breeze is refreshing, and the golden osmanthus is fragrant.

Bai Zhi came to Tang Dashu's Sichuan restaurant early in the morning. Sichuan restaurants take the civilian route, with a large flow of people, and the menu is often updated.

You Qing was already explaining today's affairs to the waiter as soon as he entered the door. When he saw Bai Zhi coming, he hurriedly greeted her, "Madam, have you seen the new menu? Do you have any questions?"

"I've seen it, it's pretty good, just do that!" Bai Zhi replied seriously.

"I wonder if the tofu puffs should be renamed? The tofu puffs eaten by Dachen people are all sweet, but our tofu puffs are salty. If guests eat them, it will ruin our reputation!" You Qing analyzed.

Bai Zhi thought for a while and said, "No, just write like this first." Then she approached You Qing and whispered some instructions.

Sure enough, on the first day the new menu was released, someone started making a fuss over this tofu brain.

"What kind of tofu puffs is this! Why do you put chili pepper in it? I have never tasted such unpalatable tofu puffs in my life! Let your shopkeeper come out!" A diner smashed the table angrily and shouted loudly.

This man's voice was very loud, and within a short time, he attracted everyone's attention.

You Qing saw that the situation was almost simmering, and then he slowly said, "Sir, what made you so angry? But the waiter neglected you?"

"Hey! What a shame! How do you do business in this place? How can you make tofu so delicious! I almost vomited out my breakfast!"

"This... this is a new product we have just released. I was just thinking about whether it suits your taste. Since you don't like it, we will withdraw this dish tomorrow! Sir, look at this meal. I waived the bill for you, so I will treat it as an apology." You Qing said with an apologetic look.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd protested, "No! Boss! I think this tofu noodle is very good! I don't like sweet things by nature, so salty ones are good!"

Then someone agreed, and for a while they were divided into two groups. Some people liked sweet things, and some liked salty things, and they argued endlessly. The situation intensified and turned into a shouting match, with each speaking voice getting louder than the other.

Bai Zhi looked upstairs and snickered.

Lihua looked confused, "Mother, what should I do if you get into a fight right now?"

"The patrol will be here soon, don't worry." Bai Zhi observed the timing of the patrol guards. Recently, there have been more people on the street, and their patrols have become more frequent.

The two sides were in a stalemate, and You Qing kept arguing in the middle.

A fight was about to begin, but suddenly, officers and soldiers came, "Do whatever you want! Don't pick fights and cause trouble!"

You Qing breathed a sigh of relief, patiently explained to the officers and soldiers, and then apologized to the guests again and again, "I'm sorry, dear guests, I am the one who can write clearly about today's tofu brain, so the money for today's tofu brain is the same as that of You." Not only that, we will also launch sweet tofu curd tomorrow, and the discount will be half off within March. At that time, please bring your relatives and friends to taste it!"

Everything was as Bai Zhi expected. In the few days after the incident, the dispute between sweet tofu brain and salty tofu brain quickly became popular in Chenjing. Even three-year-old children wanted to try this unique taste.

This spurt of customer traffic made Bai Zhi make a lot of money again. It can be said that her hands cramped counting money every day.

Even Meng Ying couldn't help but praise her as a little genius.

Such a good business kept Bai Zhi busy, often until late at night.

It happened that Meng Ying went to investigate a rural examination fraud case during this period. After leaving Chenjing, Bai Zhi had no one to look after her, and the time to return home was getting later day by day.

One day.

Several tables of customers skipped their orders, and Bai Zhi and the others had to calculate it several times without being able to figure it out clearly. They had to work until late at night before hastily settling the bad debt.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhuo Yao standing at the door.

The last time she and Zhuo Yao met was at Furong Water Pavilion.

Zhuo Yao had a stern face and a solemn air, but his lips were a little white and a little sick.

"Why is General Zhuo here so late?" Just after finishing speaking, Bai Zhi remembered something. She leaned into Zhuo Yao's ear and asked quietly, "Did the prince not give you the antidote?"

Zhuo Yao shook his head gently, "I will escort you home."

"I have a guard. It's so late. You should go back and rest early!" Bai Zhi persuaded her.

Zhuo Yao shook his head, "I was demoted to the patrol camp. This is the area I am responsible for."

Bai Zhi couldn't help but twitch her mouth. This guy was demoted again. He was demoted again and again, and now he was demoted to a film police officer.

But Bai Zhi probably knew the inside story. It wasn't that Zhuo Yao didn't do well, it was just because the emperor didn't want him to hold troops in his hands. She also knew that his ass had been opened again recently.

It's inexplicably sad.

Bai Zhi didn't know how to comfort him, and was a little embarrassed, "That's it! It doesn't matter, you will get promoted if you work hard."

Zhuo Yao sneered, "Do you believe it?"

Bai Zhi was speechless, how could this comfort her? Just like that, she fell silent.

The two people stood opposite each other across the threshold, the atmosphere was strange and awkward.

After a long time, Zhuo Yao sighed, "I'm hungry, is there any food?"

Bai Zhi shook her head, "We're closing, and the cooks have all gone home."

"Don't you know how to do it?" Zhuo Yao frowned displeased.

Bai Zhi was stunned, "Ah...ah?"

Bai Zhi is actually full of guilt for Zhuo Yao. Zhuo Yao has been injured several times for her and saved her several times. She really shouldn't treat her savior like this.

It's just that she has to avoid suspicion and shouldn't have any interaction with him.

"I'll buy it for General Zhuo." Bai Zhi said sarcastically.

"It's all closed." Zhuo Yao blocked Bai Zhi's way like a wall, and frowned and stared at Bai Zhi, his momentum was not weak at all, as if he would not leave if he didn't eat this meal.

Bai Zhi had no choice but to obey him and went to the kitchen to light a fire, "What do you want to eat?"

"Whatever." Zhuo Yao was not polite at all and followed him into the kitchen.

Zhuo Yao entered the room and subconsciously found a bench to sit on. As soon as his butt touched the bench, he stood up in pain.

Bai Zhi accidentally caught a glimpse of it and laughed out loud for no reason.

Hearing her laughter, Zhuo Yao also cast his gaze. Their eyes met and then looked away.

To cover up her embarrassment, Bai Zhi hurriedly said, "I thought Vajra was indestructible. Is the injury healed last time?"

"It's not completely healed." Zhuo Yao said coldly.

He said it easily, but Bai Zhi felt a twinge of angina. It was because of her that she was injured. She was filled with guilt, making it difficult for her to breathe.

"I'm sorry, it was because of me that you were injured last time. And...there was also the matter of poison." Bai Zhi's voice faded.

"I don't need your apology, I'm very hungry." Zhuo Yao changed to a comfortable sitting position and leaned his head against the wall.

Bai Zhi suppressed her emotions and made Zhuo Yao an egg fried rice, a pile of cucumbers, and a plate of ready-made braised pig ears.

When the food was served, Zhuo Yao asked Bai Zhi to bring a pot of wine.

"You can't drink because you're injured." Bai Zhi refused.

"The injury won't heal if you don't drink." Zhuo Yao stared at Bai Zhi coldly, staring at her for a moment.

Finally unable to resist, Bai Zhi brought him a bottle of wine.

After bringing the wine, Zhuo Yao was willing to start eating. After devouring the meal, it was obvious that he was really hungry.

After finally waiting for him to finish eating, Bai Zhi asked him if he could leave.

Zhuo Yao poured the wine leisurely and said, "Bai Lianhua, the prince now knows your identity, and he hates you to the core."

Meng Ying also told her that paper can't contain the fire. Sooner or later, the prince will know that she is the person behind You Qing.

Bai Zhi pursed her lips, lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then said, "Yes, I know."

Zhuo Yao glanced at Bai Zhi, her long eyelashes casting a shadow in the swaying light. She was a bit mellower and more attractive than when we first met her.

He couldn't help but want to stretch out his hand to caress her cheek and smooth the hair behind her ears. Thinking of this, his fingers on the cup couldn't help but move.
