Eating without paying

The carriage took the couple to Heavenly Residence. Xia Chunyu alighted long enough to request Manager Zhao to get a banknote for 80 thousand taels and tell Song Qi to bring Yaoyao back home before dinner. He then said a quick goodbye to her before speeding off.

Ye Jiayao did not know where he was going, but she figured it has something to do with the military situation that Little Jing mentioned this morning. That was out of her reach.

Zhong Xiang was the only chef in Heavenly Residence participating in the cooking competition. Heavenly Residence has placed great hopes on him and was in full support of him, providing him the ingredients that he needed. The restaurant business was currently being handled by Deng Haichuan and Wang Mingde.
