Li Zhang and the others came to the back door of Huiweizhai. They thought they could enter the door smoothly, but they didn't expect that the people inside didn't know them, and even asked them who they beat, which made Li Zhang and Xiuxiu and the others look puzzled.

"Who are you, where is Huozi?" Li Zhang couldn't help but frown when he saw the eye in the crack in the door and asked, "How could the people in the restaurant not recognize them?"

"I... I am the new client in the store. Do you know my shopkeeper?" The person inside seemed to feel something, and asked again. From the voice, it can be heard that the person inside should be a young girl.

"Open the door, and we will know when we see it!" Li Zhang said unhappily at this time. In broad daylight, this person was too careful and even did not open the door for them until now. This made Li Zhang feel that the other party seemed a little sneaky.

"No, I... go and ask the shopkeeper to see if they know you?" The people inside said and ran away, which made Li Zhang and others helpless. No one expected that they would be blocked outside Huiweizhai's door.

After a while, another burst of rapid footsteps came from inside. Then the small door was finally opened, and then the ugly lady said apologetically: "Brother, come in quickly, the new guy just now doesn't know you."

Although Li Zhang was a little angry, he did not show it. He stepped into the yard and saw a young man with his head shrank behind the ugly lady. But then he frowned and said to the ugly lady: "Woman?"

"Yes, it was only after you came a few days ago that she didn't know you." The ugly lady smiled again and explained. She was still a little worried that Li Zhang would be angry with this guy.

However, when Li Zhang heard this, he frowned and looked at the female friend. However, the girl kept holding her chest and lowering her head. The hair on her forehead drooped, covering most of her face, making people unable to see her appearance clearly. She was about the same height as Li Zhang, and her slightly raised chest also showed her gender.

"Brother, Yan Niang didn't do it on purpose, and she was also an orphan. She just escaped from the human trafficker a few days ago. There are still some strangers sneaking around these two days. They don't seem to be a good person, so I asked Yan Niang to be careful!" The ugly lady thought Li Zhang was still angry with Yan Niang, and immediately explained.

"Oh? Her name is Yan Niang?" Li Zhang finally stopped looking at the other person, but turned around and came to the ugly lady and said.

"Yes, Yan Niang was caught by human traffickers before, and she was sold to a brothel. Fortunately, she escaped smartly. Huozi and I felt pitiful, so we kept her. After all, now that business is getting better, and there is a choreographer in the kitchen." The ugly Niang explained again immediately. The same experience made her very sympathetic to this Yan Niang, so she tried her best to help her.

Just as Chou Niang finished speaking, she suddenly saw Huozi running from the front hall to the backyard with sweat. When she saw Li Zhang and others, she said happily: "I knew you would come, brother, but there are too many customers today, and I can't even greet you!"

As soon as Huozi finished speaking, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the yard was not right. He saw Yan Niang huddled behind with his head down and explained with a smile again: "Brother, the store is short of staff, and Yan Niang is pitiful, so I took her away and asked her to do odd jobs in the kitchen!"

Huozi's explanation was almost exactly the same as that of the ugly lady, but seeing the boy looking at Yan Niang's sneaky look, Li Zhang sighed inwardly. Although he didn't see Yan Niang's appearance clearly, he also found that the other party had fair skin and facial features. With Huozi's passionate personality, he must have been sympathetic again. Although Huozi is not very old, he is very lustful and may suffer a big loss in the future.

"Come on, just hold on. You are the shopkeeper. I have said that I will not interfere in the restaurant!" Li Zhang suddenly smiled at this time, and reached out and patted Huozi on the shoulder, saying, as if he didn't care about such things at all.

Huozi didn't think much about it, and he was very busy now, so after chatting with Li Zhang for a few words, he immediately went to the front hall to greet guests. The ugly lady felt that Li Zhang seemed to care about Yan Niang very much, but Li Zhang's performance was as usual, which made her not have any more questions.

Xiuxiu and Li'er went to help Chou Niang, and the wild dog also did some heavy work in the backyard. Li Zhang also went to the kitchen as usual, mainly to see that Zhou Laosan did not follow his regulations when cooking. A restaurant not only had to make the dishes delicious, but also clean. Therefore, Li Zhang set strict hygiene requirements in the back kitchen, and would come to check almost every ten days.

However, today Li Zhang just turned around casually in the kitchen, and then focused on the Yan Niang who was burning the fire. The other party had been lowering his head just now, but Li Zhang couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly. At this time, the other party was doing work and he could not keep bowing his head, but perhaps because of the fire, a few black and gray were wiped off her fair little face.

Even so, Li Zhang could still see that the other party had delicate facial features and his skin was very white and tender, especially his hands, although covered with black and gray, they were slender and white, and they didn't look like a child from a poor family. This made Li Zhang sneer. The princess of Liao Kingdom just disappeared a few days ago, and this Yan Niang appeared in Huiweizhai. Isn't that a coincidence?

Li Zhang looked at Yan Niang without any concealment. He stared at her openly. Yan Niang had already noticed that Li Zhang was paying attention to her, which made her very uncomfortable. She kept her head down as much as possible when working, and her eyes didn't dare to have any contact with Li Zhang. In the end, she couldn't even work, and she felt like she had no place to put her hands and feet.

"Come with me!" Li Zhang sneered again and said instructing him. Yan Niang was obviously guilty, which further confirmed his guess. Although Liu E sent a lot of people to investigate the whereabouts of the princess of the Liao Kingdom, she ignored Huiweizhai. First, this was Li Zhang's property, and second, Liu E was also here during the conflict. As the saying goes, dark under the light, so those searchers probably did not focus their main energy here.

"Ah, I..." Yan Niang was obviously startled by Li Zhang, and she stood there even more at a loss, her big eyes were full of fear.
