Lin Wanqing suddenly spoke, looking at the old housekeeper and the shopkeeper with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, the old butler looked embarrassed.

"Princess, the remaining ingredients are usually not fresh. If something goes wrong after eating them, we can't afford it..."

The old butler's voice became smaller and smaller, and his head lowered.

The shopkeeper echoed, "Yes, Princess. The leftover ingredients are usually digested internally or thrown away. If they are left, if something goes wrong, it might implicate Princess."

They all knew that Lin Wanqing was a frugal person, but they really didn't dare to take the risk of something like this.

Lin Wanqing looked at the two of them and understood their concerns.

"Don't worry, I won't let you take any risks. I will use these ingredients to make some other dishes and won't serve them directly to the guests."

She thought for a moment and then added, "Besides, don't you think this is a waste? The food we waste every day is enough for an average family to eat for several days."

Upon hearing this, the old butler and the shopkeeper fell silent.

They knew that what Lin Wanqing said made sense, but they also had their own difficulties.

"In fact, have we ever encountered someone deliberately purchasing more food and then profiting from the price difference?"

The old butler suddenly remembered this question. He looked at Lin Wanqing with a worried look on his face.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing nodded approvingly.

"You asked a good question. This is indeed something I overlooked before."

She pondered for a moment and continued, "So, starting today, you will record the remaining ingredients in the account every day, including the types and quantities, and then submit it to me for review."

Upon hearing this, the old butler showed a look of doubt on his face.

"Princess, what do you want with these leftover ingredients?"

He still didn't understand Lin Wanqing's intention.

Lin Wanqing looked at him and smiled slightly.

"I'm useful."

She kept it a secret and didn't directly tell everyone her plan.

Seeing that Lin Wanqing was unwilling to say more, the old housekeeper did not ask any further questions.

"Yes, princess."

He responded respectfully and then retreated.

The next day, Lin Wanqing came to the restaurant and saw that the old housekeeper and the shopkeeper had recorded the remaining ingredients in the account according to her instructions.

She looked carefully and found that there were many kinds of leftover ingredients, including vegetables, meat, seafood, etc. It would be a shame to throw them away directly.

She thought about it and called the old housekeeper.

"Princess, what do you want?"

The old butler asked respectfully.

"Go find some chefs. I have something to discuss with them."

Lin Wanqing spoke up, she already had an idea.

After a while, several chefs came to Lin Wanqing.

"Princess, are you looking for us?"

They bowed respectfully.

"Well, I have something to ask you."

Lin Wanqing nodded, then pointed to the remaining ingredients on the table. "These ingredients are what you have left over every day. I want to make them into something free and put them outside the store for the beggars to eat. What do you think?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at the chefs.

Upon hearing this, several chefs looked at each other with embarrassment on their faces.

"Princess, this... I'm afraid it's not a good idea, right?"

One of the chefs said, "If those beggars cause trouble after eating, we won't be able to afford it or offend them."

They knew that Lin Wanqing was a kind-hearted person, but they didn't want to take any risks.

Lin Wanqing looked at them and understood their concerns, but she did not intend to give up.

"Don't worry, I'll have the shopkeeper put up a sign next to it saying the food is free. If anyone has problems after eating it, it's not our fault."

Upon hearing this, the old butler showed a look of worry on his face.

"Princess, this...if something goes wrong, I'm afraid it will implicate you."

Lin Wanqing looked at him with a firm expression.

"It's okay, it's decided. If someone really causes trouble, I have my own way to deal with it."

Seeing that Lin Wanqing had made up his mind, the chefs had no choice but to nod.

"Yes, princess."

They responded in unison and then began to get busy.

Soon, the remaining ingredients were turned into delicious dishes and placed on the tables outside the store.

A sign was also put up nearby: "Food is provided free of charge. The restaurant is not responsible for any discomfort."

When the beggars saw the free food, they gathered around and started to eat it voraciously.

Lin Wanqing looked at the way they ate and felt very pleased.

She knew that her approach was a bit risky, but she didn't want to waste the ingredients.

Moreover, she believed that beggars would not cause trouble for no reason.

However, to be on the safe side, Lin Wanqing asked the shop assistants to keep an eye on it.

If anyone really has a problem with food, report it to the authorities immediately.

Although these dishes were given to beggars, Lin Wanqing was still a little worried that the dishes were not safe enough.

She came up with another plan.

A few days later, she came to the back door of the restaurant and saw a few stray dogs there. She asked the chefs to give the leftovers to the dogs first.

If the dog is fine after eating, you can give it to the beggar. Then you will have a "novice experimenter", which is a double insurance.

In this way, the beggars could eat delicious food every day.

The restaurant became famous because of this good deed and its business became even more prosperous.

Lin Wanqing was filled with joy as he watched the restaurant prosper.

On the other side, Lu Shengyuan had already entered the palace and was meeting the emperor.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

Lu Shengyuan knelt on the ground, his voice a little weak, but still full of energy.

"I love your life."

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, looking at Lu Shengyuan, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes, "How is your health? Why don't you rest at home and come to the palace?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Shengyuan showed gratitude on his face.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am almost fully recovered now."

He paused and continued, "This time, it was all thanks to the princess. She invited the miraculous doctor and herbal medicine. Otherwise, I'm afraid my life would be in jeopardy."

When the emperor heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Oh? The princess can actually summon the miraculous doctor Su Yao?"

The miracle doctor Su Yao is a legendary figure with superb medical skills that can bring the dead back to life.

The emperor had sent people to look for him before, but found nothing.

Unexpectedly, I was invited by Lu Shengyuan’s princess.

"Yes, it was by chance that the princess was able to invite the miracle doctor, otherwise I would not be able to stand before the emperor now."

Lu Shengyuan answered respectfully, his face full of gratitude.

The emperor nodded and did not ask any further questions.

He knew that Lu Shengyuan didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"The princess is indeed a remarkable woman. I heard that the restaurant is now thriving under her management. You are so lucky to have married such a capable princess."
