Jiang Yanyi was picking up the sunspots on the chessboard back into his chess basket, and asked casually, "What bet should I change it to?"

As soon as she looked up into Feng Shuo's bottomless eyes, she seemed to understand something, and immediately blushed and said, "We have agreed, you can't take advantage of me before I promise you!"

There was wind blowing in from the half-opened window, Feng Shuo covered his lips and coughed a few times, and asked her, "When did this king take advantage of you?"

When Jiang Yanyi heard him coughing, she quickly got up and closed the window: "When did you open the window? The doctor said you have to see less wind..."

Seeing her anxious look, Feng Shuo smiled slightly in his deep eyes: "Do you care about me so much?"

"I don't care, I'm afraid you will die!" Jiang Yanyi said angrily.

After closing the window, she returned to the futon and sat down again: "The bet can be re-placed, but some weird bets cannot be used."

Feng Shuo's gaze fell on Jiang Yanyi and never moved away, like a wolf that has been hungry for a long time, looking at how to eat a piece of meat that he finally got: "What is a weird bet? Does money count? "

Jiang Yanyi choked, and murmured, "Money doesn't count."

Feng Shuo teased, "I thought you were going to say that this king took advantage of you by winning money from you."

Jiang Yanyi: "..."

This person did it on purpose, I really want to stew him to death with a pot cover!

She buried her head and continued to pick up chess pieces: "How much should we bet?"

Feng Shuo said indifferently, "Let's have a small one, ten taels of silver per game."

Jiang Yanyi's hand shaking when picking up the chess pieces.

Is ten taels of silver considered a small gamble?The business of her hot pot restaurant is so prosperous that she only earns about ten taels a day.

She complained: "You are 'why not eat minced meat'!"

Feng Shuo raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you say that you are very good at playing backgammon? Why don't you eat minced meat when you win the king's money?"

Jiang Yanyi thought about it again, and it seemed to be the same, but she felt a little uneasy in her heart, and she said: "We are just playing around, and this kind of gamble is not prevalent."

Feng Shuo stared at her with his long and narrow eyes: "Then how much money do you say per game?"

Jiang Yanyi stretched out a white and slender finger.

Feng Shuo frowned, took a cup of tea to moisten his throat: "One tael, let's just one tael."

Jiang Yan smiled politely, "I mean a penny."

Feng Shuo took a sip of his tea before he choked and coughed when he heard this: "You lost money? It's as if the bet was nothing. What kind of prize is it?"

Jiang Yanyi was a little guilty, but he was also strong in his innocence: "I'm not afraid that you will lose too badly!"

It was the first time for Feng Shuo to meet someone who dared to provoke him openly. He wiped the water stains from his lips with the back of his hand: "This king is not afraid of losing."

He looks good, and this action is indescribably alluring.

But Jiang Yanyi was so terrified by his wild eyes, and he was a little scared. Seeing that he didn't seem to be wearing a handkerchief, he handed over his own handkerchief to please him, and discussed with him: "How about that?" No... If you win a game, I owe you a meal. If I win a game, you promise me one thing, it's just a trivial matter, and it will never violate the law and morality."

Feng Shuo took the handkerchief from her, and covered his mouth: "Why can't you promise me something when I beat you?"

There is a faint camellia fragrance on the veil, which is elegant and pleasant.After wiping, Feng Shuo put the handkerchief into his sleeve.

"I won't take advantage of you. It's not that I haven't figured out what to do if you lose."

As soon as Jiang Yanyi finished speaking, she saw the scene of him putting away the handkerchief, and she blushed, "That's my handkerchief."

Feng Shuo supported his head with one hand, and played with a white jade chess piece in his hand: "Now it belongs to the king."

Jiang Yanyi: "..."

In terms of thick skin, she is absolutely no match for someone.

It's okay, she doesn't just have that handkerchief anyway.

After tidying up the chessboard, Jiang Yanyi said, "Then let's make a bet..."

"Who said it's settled." Feng Shuo raised his long and narrow phoenix eyes halfway: "The bet you mentioned is my king's loss."

Jiang Yanyi: "...Then how do you decide? We have agreed, don't place weird bets, don't take advantage of me!"

Feng Shuo said: "This king wins, you have to agree to one thing, this is fair."

Jiang Yan hesitated at first, Feng Shuo said quietly: "Didn't you say that you are good at backgammon?"

Jiang Yanyi: "..."

Although she knew that this was an aggressive method, she still agreed straight away: "Okay!"

Don't let someone go through a severe beating, he doesn't know that there is a saying in this world that "there are people outside people"!

Jiang Yanyi took the black stones and landed them first on the chessboard: "Gobang is nothing special. You can place stones anywhere on the entire chessboard. As long as five pieces of the same color are connected together, you will win."

Feng Shuo had a hand in the first round, but he was defeated not long after.

Jiang Yanyi could be regarded as elated for a while, and said with a smile: "The prince is a genius, and he is not bad among beginners."

Feng Shuo looked at her embarrassing mock-up, and only said: "I've been taught."

At the beginning of the second round, Jiang Yanyi was thinking about whether to let go of the water properly, so as not to hurt someone's self-esteem, but after a few steps, she was blocked by someone, and she fell silent.

Feng Shuo calmly said, "One thing."

Jiang Yanyi seemed to have suffered some great humiliation. She stared at the chessboard for a long time, wishing to see two holes in the chessboard.

How could she lose!How could she lose?

She rolled up her sleeves: "I was careless this time, come again!"

Feng Shuo's eyes lingered on her white and jade-like arms for a moment longer, then he quickly looked away and calmly took a sip of tea.

After a while, the outcome of the chess game was decided, and he quietly said, "Two things."

"Come again!"

"three things."

"Come again!"

……

"A hundred and one things."

Jiang Yan shrank, and silently put down the chess piece: "I won't come."

She rested her chin on the chessboard, her expression was unlovely, and her hair, which was neatly combed in the morning, had been pulled up like a bird's nest.

Feng Shuo said, "You don't have to let me go on purpose."

Jiang Yanyi: "..."

This guy definitely did it on purpose!

Feng Shuo looked at her and said calmly, "I owe you one thing, and you owe me one hundred and one things. Tell me first, what do you want me to do?"

Jiang Yanyi spun around with a pair of moves, got up from the chessboard and said, "I don't want to count the one hundred and one things I owe you."

Feng Shuo hooked his lips into a slight smile, but that smile looked dark no matter how you looked at it: "Are you dreaming?"

***

After Jiang Yanyi returned to the store from Fengfu, he sighed non-stop.

She sat at the counter and looked at the accounts. Okra moved a small mat and sat next to her. While wiping the dishes with a clean cotton kerchief, she asked, "Why does Huahua keep sighing?"

"Hey," Jiang Yanyi turned over a page in the account book in his hand: "I owe someone a lot of debt."

Qiukui's eyes widened: "Do you want to pay back a lot of money?"

Jiang Yanyi held the brush and stared at the sky speechlessly: "It's harder than paying back money."

The one thing Feng Shuo said he owed her could only offset the one thing she owed him.Jiang Yanyi thought that she owed him a hundred things anyway, so she might as well not offset it.

The first thing Feng Shuo asked her to do was to press his shoulders for half an hour. He looked thin, but his shoulders were as hard as a rock. Her hands were almost useless, okay?

Jiang Yanyi couldn't help but start to reflect on herself. If it was good to bet on money from the beginning, even if it was one tael per game, she would only owe Feng Shuo 100 taels now...

Ah, 100 taels of silver?

No no no!

Jiang Yanyi changed his direction and reflected on himself, why did he play chess with him...

If I hadn't played chess, I wouldn't have had this miserable day.

Jiang Yanyi complained about himself while looking through the accounts.

When I saw today's account, I suddenly found that someone bought ten portions of roasted mutton at noon.

Her little chili powder was exhausted during the barbecue a few days before the opening of the store. Nowadays, if you want to eat something spicy on the grill, you can only smear it with a layer of oily dogwood sauce. The only ones that are very delicious are garlic eggplant and garlic vermicelli.

As the two signature side dishes in the store, some diners don’t even order minced garlic, and some diners come to eat the pot for these two dishes for several days in a row.

Although roasted mutton is also favored by many dignitaries, the sales volume is not particularly good because of the lack of the aroma of chili.

There were a lot of comments criticizing the food in her restaurant overnight, saying that the taste was not good and the source of the ingredients was not fresh... These comments must be guided by someone behind the scenes.

But no matter what the outside world said, the source of the ingredients in Jiang Yanyi's shop was in cooperation with several households in Xizhou City. They said that the ingredients in her shop were not good, and the horse butcher who sold mutton was the first to refuse to accept it with a butcher's knife.

If she wanted to bring down her shop with this method, she would have to offend the people who sold her ingredients first.

After all, Jiang Yanyi's hot pot restaurant is famous, and the people who go into the restaurant to eat are also dignitaries. They said that the ingredients Jiang Yanyi bought from them are also bright, and they have invisibly elevated the style of their own products.

Jiang Yanyi introduced a few new dishes from time to time, and the store's business never had a downturn.

Regular customers often come to eat, and they know whether the taste is good or not. The reputation in the powerful circle is much more important than those rumors in the market.

After all, Jiang Yanyi's customer base is middle-level and high-level, not those people in the market who secretly took a few money from others and started talking nonsense before even stepping in her store.

Occasionally, a wealthy businessman who came to the store admiringly, in order to show how magnificent he is, asked arrogantly: "Everyone says that the food in your store is not delicious?"

At this time, Jiang Yanyi smiled lightly and said: "Guest officer, you will know whether it is delicious after tasting it. As for the rumors in the market, the shop has never received those customers. I don't know how they know it is not delicious."

This kind of question is asked a lot, and sometimes without Jiang Yanyi's presence, Okra can reply directly: "The person who said these words has never even stepped into the store, how do you know if the pot in our store is good or not?"

Any diner with a bit of a brain knows that this restaurant may make others jealous.

Since Jiang Yanyi opened the shop, it was the first time he saw someone who bought ten portions of roasted mutton all at once. He felt strange and asked, "Okra, do you remember who bought ten portions of roasted lamb?"

This time is close to closing, and there are no customers. The accountant and two guards who came to help Fengfu also went back. Aunt Guo is busy in the back kitchen. She must not know what the customers who order food look like. Jiang Yanyi had to ask Okra .

Okra made a gesture: "Three people, with big beards, ordered a lot of meat, and punched and drank."

Because since the opening of the store, the people who come into the store to eat pot are basically decent people, and Okra is particularly impressed by the three savage-like diners.

Jiang Yanyi could imagine the scene just by hearing her say that she was full of beards and drinking with punches.

She stared at the account book for a while, and found that they had paid for the meal clearly, so she asked casually, "Didn't there be any trouble during the checkout?"

Okra shook her head: "No."

From the description, she didn't look like a local ruffian, so Jiang Yanyi was relieved, she just regarded it as a casual hero, and she said: "We still have to recruit two waiters who are good at kung fu as soon as possible."

It's lucky today, people don't make trouble, and it happens that there are two guards from Fengfu here.

But what if trouble happens to happen another day?There are only three women in the store, which makes others feel easy to bully.

Before closing the store, Jiang Yanyi checked every blind corner of the store as usual, and closed the door after making sure there was nothing wrong.

On the second day, after she got up in the morning, she cooked the morning food as usual, and Okra went to the front to open the shop.

The sauerkraut that Jiang Yanyi made before has been fermented, and she plans to make sauerkraut shredded pork noodles.

Before the dough started to "knead", a scream of okra suddenly came from outside.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yanyi froze, and hurried to the shop outside.

Okra stood at the door, looking at something on the steps, his face turning pale.
