rat, I've eaten more rice than you've eaten salt in my lifetime! At such a young age, you have no respect for elders and act so arrogantly. You'll get what's coming to you sooner or later."Fang Jinshi...The kitchen indeed needs someone to oversee everything, so Fang Jinxiu nodded at the head chef without hiding anything.

"These days, you should pay attention to whether there are strangers going in and out of the kitchen. Remember, never let strangers come in, and it's best not to let people who don't belong in the kitchen get access to the ingredients."

"The restaurant business is good, and there haven't been any problems so far, but it's always better to be prepared."

The head chef understood human relations quite well. As soon as Fang Jinshuu spoke, he grasped the situation.

"The host assured, 'Don't worry, I personally checked all the ingredients in the kitchen. The cooks who prepare and chop vegetables are my apprentices whom I brought myself. You can trust them completely.'"

Given the chef's experience, Fang Jinshi was quite surprised.

“Alright, you guys do a good job. By the end of the month, if the restaurant’s revenue exceeds expectations, everyone will get a big red envelope!”

Hearing that there were additional red envelope rewards, everyone was thrilled. After all, who wouldn't want more money Naturally, the more the better.

Money indeed is the best weapon to motivate employees. With Fang Jinshu's encouragement and reminder, the kitchen's food safety issue was temporarily put aside.

If those people still want to bring down the restaurant by writing articles about the ingredients, unless they can tamper with the water source.

In the courtyard of Yu Ba Shi Fu, there was a well. Fang Jinxiu's heart moved, and she quietly walked over. She released Xiao Lu to put a lot of Lingquan essence into it. Although the essence couldn't cure all poisons, it could resolve most of the drug properties.

If those people really tampered with the well, the well water purified by the essence of the spring water at most could only give people diarrhea, it would definitely not lead to a scene where medicine is reversed.

As the saying goes, a thief can only rob for a thousand days, but he cannot guard against being robbed for a thousand days.

Although Fang Jinshui had instructed her staff to pay attention to every detail and take precautions inside and outside the restaurant, she still felt that this approach was a last resort.

To solve a problem, one must address its root cause. Only then can the solution be permanent and lasting.

It seems she needs to find a chance to meet that Mr. Jiang.

"Oh dear master! Two groups of men are fighting at the entrance of the tavern. Mr. Wu, the shopkeeper, went to try and settle things, but they ended up beating him too!"

A waiter at the restaurant saw Fang Jinyu standing in the courtyard and hurriedly ran over. His expression seemed as if he had been looking for her for a long time.

His face was covered in anxiety and sweat.

"What What happened to Wu Ma Was she hurt"

When Fang Jinshu heard what his companion said, the first thought that crossed her mind was, "Here we go again. What are these two groups doing fighting at the entrance of a tavern Why did they have to pick this exact moment to cause a ruckus right outside our place"

It's just too coincidental. Fang Jinshui wouldn't believe for a million years that this happened without someone secretly orchestrating it behind the scenes.

"The shopkeeper was pushed over, bumping his forehead on the steps and cutting himself. He's even bleeding!"

"Those two are still arguing, and Mr. Wu (the shopkeeper) can't control the situation. Sir, you better go take a look."

Fang Jinshi wasn't unaware that this was the other party's ploy to withdraw troops and lure them away. She figured that by creating a commotion at the door, they could divert everyone's attention so they could quietly attack the restaurant.

"Hmph, nothing but cheap tricks, things this old lady wouldn't even bother playing with."

If this matter is handled well, she can not only successfully hold the other party's handle, but also have bargaining chips to negotiate with Master Jiang.

In the capital, no one dared to push someone into a corner. After all, anyone could become desperate and lash out, and she certainly didn't look like an innocent rabbit.

Does she really think she's a pushover

You've gone too far.

Let's go outside.

Fan Jinshu straightened her waist and strode toward the entrance of the wine house, with the attendant behind her hurrying to follow.

Although she had only known Wu Ma for a few days, she was now the manager of her tavern and had injured her manager on her territory. This was like slapping Fang Jinshu in the face.

Even if she had come to the capital, Fang Jinshu wouldn't stand for this kind of treatment.

Then, she walked with a cold face the entire way, not intending to show any courtesy whatsoever. With an imposing air, she stormed to the entrance of the restaurant and loudly demanded,

"Who hurt Wu Mama."

The waiter at the wine shop, seeing that his employer was so resolute, instinctively straightened his back and stepped forward, pointing to a woman with slanted eyes in front of them.

"It was her landlord, the shopkeeper Wu, who kindly came to make peace. He even said he would give up the vacant land behind the tavern for them to park their carriages. But these people not only refused to show gratitude but pointed at the shopkeeper's nose and accused her of looking down on them. Then they shoved Shopkeeper Wu hard."

"Look at the shopkeeper's forehead, it's bleeding so much."

Wū Niang was being helped by two working women in the shop, her forehead covered with a handkerchief. The bloodstain on the handkerchief could be faintly seen through it.

She smiled sheepishly at Fang Jinshu, but inwardly she felt utterly useless. She hadn't expected to be so incompetent even in handling such a small matter after coming to the capital. She felt like she had embarrassed the princess.

Wouldn't Lady Fang think she's useless and be angry

Fang Jinxiu might not know about Wu Niang's inner thoughts. After seeing the blood on her forehead, his eyes turned colder.

"First, go and treat the wound on your head."

After she finished speaking, she took out a small bottle of ointment from her body and handed it over. Wu Mama only hesitated for a moment before taking it.

"Master, I am truly sorry."

Before she could finish her words, Fang Jinxiu raised her hand to interrupt her.

"None of your business, go treat your wounds first."

These people are deliberately looking for trouble. Even if the restaurant's business is ruined today and they scare away all the customers, as long as the restaurant remains open for one day, these people will come back to cause trouble again the next day.

No matter how I try to handle it, this isn't just a simple argument.

"Was it you guys making a ruckus outside my tavern"

As soon as Fang Jinshi appeared, the onlookers fell silent, all eager to see how this young woman would handle the situation.

There are always many people who enjoy watching theater, even someone like Jiangye might be among them.

Fang Jinshu sneered, walked up to the two of them.

"What do you mean by 'making a fuss' I haven't even questioned you about how this tavern is run, nor have I inquired about adding some space at the door for guests to park their carriages."

"My master is of noble standing, and for him to grace your humble tavern with his presence for a meal is the highest honor you could receive."

"Not to mention that you have neglected my master, just now that female shopkeeper dared to let my master's carriage be parked with the common people's carriages! This is a blatant insult!"

"You tavern owners are so bold!"

The woman with the raised eyebrows across from him hadn't finished speaking when, suddenly, with a loud slap, Fang Jinshu did something no one expected—she slapped that incessantly chattering woman across the face.

She stood there dumbfounded for a long time, and when she came to her senses, she angrily raised her hand as if to fight back.

How could Fang Jinshu give her this opportunity Before the other party even raised their hand, she was a step ahead and slapped the other side of her face.

Though the person in the carriage had remained hidden throughout, after Fang Jinxiu slapped twice, they finally could not remain seated.

Letting a troublemaker run rampant, she injured the shopkeeper of her own house and still acted arrogantly without any remorse. Is there a need to speak kindly and reason with such a person

“You, you actually dare to hit me!”

"Why are you hitting me!"

Fang Jinshu learned from the heated discussion around her that the woman with the slanted eyes in front of her was a mammy from the palace, not an ordinary servant.

After hearing this, she just found it amusing. No wonder those slanted eyes were so arrogant. A servant from the palace is still a servant, isn't it

At the end of the day, you're just a servant. What makes you think you're better than others just because you've come to the common folk a puzzle, and he perceived this information from her few short sentences."Yes, I know him," Fang Jinshi generously admitted."I reckon Mr. Gu has heard about the brawl that happened a few days ago in...
