The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

People are in high spirits when good things happen. Zuihualou, invested by Hu Luanfei, reopened. On this day, customers came in droves. The shopkeeper was busy counting the bills at the counter, and Qiu Xu was busy joining the waiters to help serve dishes and pour tea. He used to have a poor appetite, but now he is so hungry that he can eat a cow.

"My lady, something bad has happened!" Jiang Wu ran out in a hurry, holding a cooking spoon. "Today's guests have exceeded our budget, and we are running out of ingredients in the kitchen."

Hu Luanfei glanced at the sky outside and said, "It's not even dusk yet, and I didn't expect business to be so booming."

"Don't grumble anymore and think about what to do."

"What can I do? I'll just serve the last table of food, clean up the kitchen and close the store."

Everyone was stunned, unable to recover.

Qiu Xu looked at the customers who were still waiting outside to enter Zuihualou. The crowds could earn him a lot of money. It was still early, and if he closed the restaurant, wouldn't he lose customers?

He quickly took her hand and went into the kitchen, "Madam, we can still hold on for now. I will go to the market to buy ingredients right away."

Hu Luanfei sometimes had a bad temper. Hearing him say this, he strongly disagreed with this approach, "Master Qiu, Master Qiu, you have run Zuihualou for more than ten years, how come you can't even understand some principles?"

Qiu Xu asked carefully: "Besides making money and serving customers, is there any other reason to open a restaurant?"

Hu Luanfei was so tired that he kept rubbing his brows. He explained to them in detail: "Our business is good because the ingredients we use are fresh. If you go to the market to buy ingredients at this time, the dishes will be wilted or smelly."

Everyone understood. Jiang Wu looked at the empty baskets and thought for a while, "I think what the queen said is right. Let's take advantage of this opportunity to catch more fish. The guests who didn't have the signature dish today will definitely want to try it tomorrow."

"This boy is teachable." After saying this, he looked at Qiu Xu, "What do you think?"

Qiu Xu felt sorry, but also thought that what she said made sense, so he nodded and agreed with her.

When the guests waited in line for several hours and got this result, they turned away in dismay.

Some were dissatisfied and complained before leaving to vent their anger: "Zuihualou has a bad temper. When business was not good, they would never dare to ask us to come back tomorrow."

"As far as I know, Zuihualou has hired a few talented and virtuous chefs. Their cooking skills are more than ten times better than Baihualou's. If they dare to arrogantly drive away customers, they are not afraid that they will not be able to recruit people with their own strength."

"If I don't go, and you don't go either, let's see how they can act so arrogantly."

"That being said, even if you and I don't go, there are plenty of people who will go. Look, Baihua Tower is deserted today. Many people have gone to Zuihua Tower instead."

"Then let's go earlier tomorrow?"

Everything the guests said when they left was heard by the owner of Baihualou.

When she first heard about the guest being kidnapped at Zuihualou, she thought it was a dream. It was not until her maid came to report it three or four times that she realized something was wrong.

Hu Luanfei instructed Qiu Xu to clean up and close the store, then he left and returned to Taohua Village with a few brothers.

Bai Huahua stared blankly at the carriage that was running farther and farther away, until it turned a corner and disappeared from her sight, then she retracted her gaze and fixed it on the man not far away.

At this moment, he was like a victorious rooster, walking towards her with his head held high and his chest puffed out, "Master Bai, how are you?"

"That's great. Thank you, Mr. Qiu, for your concern." A hint of coldness quietly appeared in his black eyes, and Bai Huahua walked towards his restaurant calmly.

"Boss, take one of our signature dishes to the head of Baihualou and let her and the chef taste the cooking skills of our new chef."

"Are you mocking me?" A fierce look flashed in his black eyes.

Qiu Xu didn't take it seriously and knew how to give her a taste of her own medicine, not only mocking her but also humiliating her.

"I will repay your kindness."

Bai Huahua snorted coldly and took the signature dish from his hand, "This princess wants to see what kind of storm your Zuihualou can stir up."

Qiu Xu smiled and said, "Please give me some suggestions after tasting it and see what needs to be improved."

"Is my advice useful?"

"You decide. Whether to change it or not is up to our chef." He was extremely proud and raised his hand to signal her to taste it. "You're welcome. This dry pot pig intestines is the signature dish of my Zui Hua Lou. I guarantee you will have an unforgettable aftertaste."

Bai Huahua smiled perfunctorily, her mind distracted, still thinking about how to bring the customer back. She nonchalantly picked up a piece of red food with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth, chewing gently.

Suddenly, the calm little face turned into one of fear, and it spat out the chewed food without mercy.

"Damn it, cough cough cough!"

what is this?

Her tongue ached, as if a fire was rushing from her mouth to her brain, and even her nasal cavity was not spared. She almost rushed into Zuihualou to get some water to relieve the pain without any courtesy.

Fortunately, Qiu Xu had foresight and picked up the teapot to pour her a cup of hot tea.

"Puff..." Drinking hot tea in the mouth that had just eaten chili peppers made it even more boiling.

Qiu Xu was sprayed all over the face. He wiped the water marks expressionlessly, opened his eyes slightly, and reluctantly spared her because he saw that she was coughing with snot and tears.

"How is it? It tastes good, right?" He asked her deliberately, thinking it was not excessive enough.

Bai Huahua's eyes turned red with choking. She cried and accused him, "Qiu Xu, you are such a vengeful bastard. You actually retaliated against me for what happened last year. You really don't have the manners of a man at all."

Qiu Xu's dark eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, and he suddenly curled his lips and laughed sarcastically, "I'm just giving him a taste of his own medicine, why are you feeling wronged?"

Bai Huahua bit her lip and glared at him angrily, "I told you that you are petty."

He lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly: "You are so generous, why don't you spare them for once out of pity for my parents?"

Bai Huahua was startled for a moment, and when she recalled the past, sadness appeared on her face. "Your parents' death has nothing to do with me. How many times do you want me to tell you this?"

He glared at her mercilessly, "Is it still useful to quibble now?"

It was useless, it was too late. His parents had died in front of her. No matter how she explained, he wouldn't listen and insisted that she was the murderer.

More than ten years have passed, and every time we meet, we feel three parts hatred and seven parts resentment. The friendship of the past has turned into mud. Whenever it is mentioned, it makes people feel disgusted and sad.

"Qiu Xu, what do you want me to do to prove my innocence?"

"Don't waste your time. No matter what you do, I will never trust you again. Bai Huahua, our engagement... ends here."

She looked at him with red eyes, "Our marriage was arranged by your parents..."

Qiu Xu had a bitter face, but suddenly she smiled and slowly raised her chin, "They don't know that the daughter-in-law they like is a jackal, a tiger or a leopard. If they knew, they would definitely not agree to this marriage!"
