Sun Liangyuan knew he had spoken out of turn and bowed awkwardly, "My Lord, long time no see."
Lu Chaofeng didn't take it to heart. He nodded slightly, as if to let the matter go.
"Sir! Are you feeling unwell anywhere else?" Goudan squeezed in front of him and asked.
"It's just a slight headache."
Goudan looked up at Mifeng. Mifeng frowned, pulled Sun Liangyuan's wrist and began to take his pulse.
"Hmm... My pulse is a little weak. I probably hit my head when I rolled down the hill. It's okay. I'll be fine after lying down for two days."
"However..." Mi Feng changed the subject, "Sir, your stomach isn't very good. It would be better for you to eat something light in the next few days."
Upon hearing this, the housekeeper immediately gave orders and ordered someone to prepare porridge and side dishes.
Seeing this, Su Chengnan knew that Sun Liangyuan was fine, so she turned around and said goodbye. It would be inconvenient for her, a girl, to stay here.
"Sir, you just woke up. You should get some rest. I'll come visit you again tomorrow."
"okay."
Sun Liangyuan was still confused. He nodded blankly, unable to remember where this beautiful girl from the capital came from. But looking at Lu Chaofeng's expression, it seemed that they had a close relationship. Who was she?
……
out the door.
Su Chengnan turned around and asked Lu Chaofeng, "What's so unusual about Hua Caihua?"
Lu Chaofeng hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking, "This thing is poisonous even without being refined. Sun Liangyuan's sudden fainting was most likely caused by stepping on the colorful flower."
"Will you fall unconscious if you step on it?"
"When it blooms, if it is attacked by external forces, such as being stepped on or twisted, it releases a substance similar to a drug. It is colorless and odorless, and the dosage varies, causing people to become unconscious!"
"Is that so..." Su Chengnan thought thoughtfully.
"The colorful flowers originated in the northern border. I don't know why they appeared here. Logically, there weren't many of them even in the northern border. Back then..."
Lu Chaofeng's words were interrupted by a fragrance. The two of them turned around at the same time and saw Su Linhua coming with her maid.
"The pig's trotter soup is ready. Try it while it's hot."
"Okay, let's put it there for now." Su Chengnan pointed to the side hall and motioned them to go there first. Then he looked at Lu Chaofeng and said, "Go on."
Lu Chaofeng's gaze drifted away to the two bowls of soup, and he spoke faster, "Where were we talking about?"
"Back then! What happened back then?"
"Oh, yes." Lu Chaofeng retracted his gaze and bowed to the right. "The Ancestor Emperor suffered losses from this flower during his march, so after ascending the throne, he ordered all the colorful flowers to be burned. Now, this thing has not been seen in the territory of Yong State for many years."
"Then how did you recognize him?" Su Chengnan asked without thinking, "And Mi Feng looks only in his teens, how did he recognize him too?"
Lu Chaofeng coughed lightly, his expression somewhat unnatural. He did not respond to Su Chengnan's words and fell silent.
Su Chengnan blinked and said tactfully, "I've said too much. Let's go and have some soup." After that, she went to the side hall without waiting for Lu Chaofeng to speak.
Lu Chaofeng watched her walk away with a dark look in his eyes, wondering what he was thinking...
"Hurry up, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
"coming."
……
A little bit of chopped green onion is sprinkled on the milky white hoof soup, which not only smells fragrant but also looks very good.
Last year, Su Chengnan accompanied a top star on a film set in Sichuan Province for about four months. It was during that time that he fell in love with pig's trotter soup. Every time he'd pull a late-night set with him, he'd head to the restaurant and order a bowl of hot soup; it was truly the deepest comfort to his soul.
Thinking of this, Su Chengnan inexplicably missed the past. Sigh, I don't know if Beibei is doing well after following another agent, and whether she can continue to be popular. The new agent is a bit miserable, having such a disobedient artist, it's hard...
Su Linhua watched her sighing while drinking soup, and thought there was something wrong with her soup.
She asked the maid to bring three more bowls, and she tasted it with a spoon. There was nothing wrong with it!
"Sister, what are you thinking about?"
"Thinking about Beibei."
"Hahahahahahaha..." Su Linhua almost choked.
What was there for him to think about? Life was so much better than being a slave to the office. He didn't have to worry about his popularity being ruined or his fans throwing eggs at him. Even if he had to flee, he had plenty of space. With so much money in hand, he was so carefree. Why was he so depressed?
Su Chengnan glared at her fiercely. She held back her laughter, shook her head in confusion, and looked disgusted.
Lu Chaofeng watched the two people mumbling, confused for a moment, so he changed the subject and asked, "This soup is good. How much does it cost?"
Once the conversation got down to business, both of them restrained their expressions.
"Pig's trotters with white kidney beans and some spices, about..." Su Linhua paused and turned to look at the housekeeper, "How much is this pig's trotter?"
Xu Bo bent down and said, "Please make a list, young lady. I will have someone calculate the cost."
Su Linhua fixed her eyes, "We need to ask different people. This list cannot be shown to the same person. It is a business secret."
Xu Bo didn't understand what business was, but he understood the two secrets.
"Yes, Miss, you are right to worry! It is because I have been lax."
"Take Nianqiu with you and ask. I've asked her to memorize all the ingredients we need."
"Row."
The butler bowed and left, leaving only three people in the room.
Lu Chaofeng thought for a moment and said, "This soup tastes good, but it's not enough to make a quick buck. Do you have any ideas?"
Su Chengnan put down his bowl and chopsticks. "Business is all about packaging. Ruyizhai sells expensive dim sum, and its customers are wealthy families. Restaurants like soup shops focus on taste, and with the constant flow of people, they also have more channels for receiving information. What do you think, Your Highness?"
"The only thing I care about now is whether I can make money."
"Of course I can!"
"So confident?" Lu Chaofeng laughed.
"Let's first identify our customer base, such as traveling merchants, strong men, and well-traveled escorts. They have enough money to eat and can occasionally enjoy a good meal, but they can't bear to eat meat every meal. However, if they come across something delicious, they can still afford it."
“The food in the big restaurant is delicious, but not everyone can afford it.”
“The prices at these small vendors are cheap, but the taste is different in every household.”
"So..." Lu Chaofeng tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table, "Why don't we open soup restaurants with the same flavor everywhere, with the same price and the same taste?"
"That's right!"
"The soup ingredients can be used as a dish. The soup can be used to soak rice, noodles, or steamed buns. It's up to you to eat as much as you want. The more people there are, the more news there will be."
"Okay! Just as you said!" Lu Chaofeng made the decision immediately.
But Su Chengnan changed the subject: "However... just relying on this pig's trotter soup is not enough. Lin Hua needs to make a few more innovative dishes."
Su Linhua grinned and said, "That's easy."
"Chicken with pork belly, coconut chicken, braised lamb, beef brisket with potatoes... everything is delicious! Guaranteed to be fresh!"
Lu Chaofeng was stunned: "What is a potato? What is a coconut?"
Just as the two were thinking about how to answer.
There was a rumbling sound at the door...
It was Goudan squatting at the door, looking eagerly...
"Is it broth? It smells so good..."
