Chapter 599 How to Deal with the Things Left by Mrs. Ou

Xia Chuyi guessed that the baby picture in the small box must have been drawn by someone who had seen Ou Jiao when they were a child.

The necklace, for some unknown reason, broke, so when Mrs. Ou came to "Delicious Residence," she took the opportunity to bring it for repair.

As a result, it was accidentally dropped at "Delicious Residence."

Looking at this necklace, Xia Chuyi felt quite emotional.

Setting aside the question of how accurately one can draw a child from memory, there was the matter of the child in the drawing. Even if he looked exactly like Ou Jiao as a baby, how could one predict what he would look like grown up?

Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but sigh.

Mrs. Ou wore this necklace, probably just as a keepsake.

Some people, like her mother—Mother Xia, have their own children by their side but treat them as nothing, while others, like Mrs. Ou, cherish the memories of their children even when they’re far away.

Xia Chuyi wondered if Mrs. Ou was aware her necklace was lost.

After some thought, Xia Chuyi, holding the necklace, asked Old Sir Guan for advice, "Master, what do you think we should do with this?"

After all, Ou Jiao’s parents were friends of Mr. Guan, and the item was lost in "Delicious Restaurant," so naturally, it was Mr. Guan’s matter to handle.

Mr. Guan glanced at the necklace and said to her, "Put it aside for now. If they realize it’s missing, they’ll send someone to retrieve it."

"If they don’t send someone, I will find someone to deliver it to them."

Xia Chuyi nodded, put the necklace away, and then busied herself with her master once more.

"Delicious Residence," as a private kitchen, had a fixed amount of dishes made each day.

Since it was the first day of opening, there were many people coming to support, and business was booming, so by the afternoon the fresh ingredients prepared for the day were sold out—this had always been the rule at Delicious Residence, fresh ingredients prepared and sold on the same day.

If there were any unsold ingredients that day, Mr. Guan would also sell them to smaller shops that did not require the same level of freshness.

In some ways, this was also the reason why Delicious Residence’s business kept improving.

Finally, after they finished the busy work, Xia Chuyi, seeing Mr. Guan a little tired, immediately went to help massage his shoulders, saying, "Master, you’ve worked hard!"

Did Mr. Guan need her to massage his shoulders?

"Go on, my body is very strong, I’m not tired at all!" Mr. Guan glanced at his apprentice, covered in the smell of cooking, and told Xia Chuyi, "Alright, Chuyi, you’ve also worked hard today, you should go back and rest."

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi shook her head quickly, "It’s not hard, helping master with his work, what’s there to talk about being hard or not?"

She was quite sincere in what she said, but it made Mr. Guo feel rather depressed.

Sigh, Chuyi, such a good-natured child, with high culinary talent.

She and his wife were very fated, clearly the best person to inherit his mantle.

It’s just a shame... he really had nothing left to teach her.

Mr. Guan reflected in his heart.

Only to hear Mr. Guan say, "As for my side, I have invited all the friends I need to invite today, and business will certainly be worse for the next two days."

"So starting tomorrow, you won’t need to come over and help."

"Master..." Xia Chuyi wanted to say something.

Mr. Guan interrupted his apprentice, saying, "That’s enough!"
