The bad husband wanted to bring his second wife into the house, so I turned around and became his st

When the delicious dishes were served on the table, Gu Shuangshuang and others widened their eyes in surprise.

I didn’t expect that Lin Wanqing really made a full banquet.

"This...are these really a Manchu-Han banquet?" Gu Shuangshuang said in disbelief as she looked at the dishes on the table.

"Of course." Lin Wanqing smiled slightly, "Miss Gu can try it."

Gu Shuangshuang was a little hesitant.

She didn't expect that Lin Wanqing could actually prepare a full banquet, which made her a little overwhelmed.

At this time, the customers in the restaurant noticed what was happening here, and one of them asked curiously: "Oh, this dish smells delicious, is it a special dish?"

At this moment, even if Gu Shuangshuang wanted to find fault, she couldn't say anything.

After all, everyone is watching here. If I say it doesn’t taste good, wouldn’t I be slapping myself in the face?

"Don't dare?" Lin Wanqing's lips curled up slightly, with a hint of amusement in her eyes. She gently shook the chopsticks in her hand, and on the tip of the chopsticks was a piece of golden and fragrant fried fish.

There was a hint of provocation in her tone, as if she was goading Gu Shuangshuang into action.

Gu Shuangshuang widened her eyes and looked at the piece of fried fish, feeling hesitant.

She had wanted to take this opportunity to make things difficult for Lin Wanqing and embarrass her in front of everyone, but she had not expected that Lin Wanqing would dare to challenge her so openly. Although she was a little scared, she was more unwilling to accept it.

"Who said I don't dare!" Gu Shuangshuang gritted her teeth and mustered up the courage to pick up the chopsticks.

Her fingers trembled slightly, but she finally picked up the piece of fried fish and put it into her mouth.

The fried fish pieces had a crispy skin, and were tender and juicy inside, with an aroma that filled the air. Gu Shuangshuang widened her eyes with an expression of disbelief on her face. She had never eaten such delicious dishes before, as if her entire taste buds had been awakened.

"How is it?" Lin Wanqing asked lightly with a smug smile on his face.

"Good... delicious." Gu Shuangshuang said a little embarrassedly, her voice trembling slightly. She wanted to say something harsh to cover up her embarrassment, but when the words came to her lips, they turned into sincere praise.

Lin Wanqing nodded with satisfaction.

"Ms. Gu, what do you think of my restaurant now?" she asked with a smile, her tone revealing a bit of confidence.

Gu Shuangshuang gritted her teeth, feeling mixed emotions.

She wanted to disparage Lin Wanqing's restaurant, but at this moment she couldn't say a bad word. The delicious taste of the fried fish seemed to still linger on her tongue, making her unable to forget it.

"It tastes...really good." Gu Shuangshuang held it in for a long time and only managed to utter these few words. Her voice trembled slightly, as if she was trying hard to control her emotions.

Lin Wanqing smiled but said nothing when she heard this. She knew that Gu Shuangshuang had been tricked by her this time.

But she didn't care about these details. As long as Gu Shuangshuang admitted that the food in her restaurant was delicious, it would be fine. After all, her goal had been achieved, which was to make Gu Shuangshuang make a fool of herself in front of everyone and let her know what real cooking skills were.

"As long as Miss Gu likes it," Lin Wanqing said with a smile, "I hope Miss Gu will take good care of our business in the future."

"Of course, of course." Gu Shuangshuang replied with a forced smile.

Then Gu Shuangshuang left the restaurant in shame with a few sisters.

Their figures looked particularly lonely and miserable in the afterglow of the setting sun.

In the following days, the restaurant's business flourished just as Lin Wanqing had expected, with countless diners coming every day to taste her cooking.

The next day, when Lin Wanqing just returned to the palace, she was stopped by a maid.

"The princess wants you to come over." The maid said with a bit of respect and caution in her tone.

"Okay, I understand." Lin Wanqing nodded.

Lin Wanqing came to the old lady's courtyard, and before entering the door, he heard laughter coming from inside the house.

She pushed the door open and saw the old lady chatting with several older ladies, their faces full of smiles.

"The princess is here." The old lady looked up and saw Lin Wanqing, and greeted her with a smile.

Lin Wanqing bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Old Madam, what do you want to talk to me about?"

The old lady looked at Lin Wanqing with a smile and said, "Last time we had dinner at your restaurant, my sisters and I loved it. Your cooking skills are really amazing."

Lin Wanqing was slightly delighted, but her face remained calm: "As long as the old lady likes it."

"It's just..." The old lady changed the subject, a hint of worry on her face, "Your restaurant is so popular. Every time we go there, we have to wait a long time for a table. It's really inconvenient."

Lin Wanqing frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "What do you mean, old lady?"

"We're thinking..." the old lady said, "Could you please arrange a private room for us? That way, we'll have a seat every time we go and won't have to wait."

Lin Wanqing was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

This old lady and several other ladies actually came for a private room.

"Of course no problem." Lin Wanqing raised the corners of her lips slightly, as warm as the spring breeze, and she nodded gracefully in agreement.

"It is a great honor for me that you, my distinguished guests, are willing to visit my restaurant. I will carefully arrange an exclusive private room for you to ensure that your dining experience is perfect."

A smile as warm as the winter sun bloomed on the old lady's face. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and her gaze was full of approval and satisfaction towards Lin Wanqing.

She nodded slowly, a hint of joy in her tone: "That's great. I'll trouble you, Princess."

Inside the restaurant, a faint glow flows between the carved beams and painted buildings. The exquisite furnishings and elegant decorations complement each other, showing a rich cultural heritage.

The air is filled with the faint aroma of wine and the tempting smell of food, which makes people salivate unconsciously.

At this moment, a lady glanced at Lin Wanqing curiously, and asked in a questioning tone: "Princess, I heard that your restaurant is doing a booming business and making a fortune every day. I wonder if that is true?"

Lin Wanqing was slightly startled, then she nodded slightly, a glint of confidence in her eyes: "Thanks to everyone's kindness, the restaurant business is indeed quite good, and we have made a small profit."

The other lady's eyes gleamed, and she immediately asked, "Since business is so prosperous, has the princess considered expanding the scale of the business? After all, there are many dignitaries in the capital. If you can open a few more branches, business will surely be even more prosperous."

Lin Wanqing had actually had the idea of ​​expanding her business a long time ago, but she had never found the right time and opportunity. When she heard the lady's proposal, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

She took a sip of the fragrant tea, feeling the aroma lingering and spreading in her mouth.

Then she raised her head and looked at the ladies present, her tone revealing a hint of seriousness and determination: "You ladies are absolutely right. In fact, I have always planned to expand my business. However, this matter involves a lot of seriousness, so I need to think long-term and act cautiously."

The old lady nodded in agreement. "Your Highness is right. However, if you need any help, please let us know. We will be happy to help you."

Lin Wanqing smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness and support, Madam. If I need anything, I will definitely ask for your advice and help."

After chatting for a few more minutes, Lin Wanqing stood up and said goodbye and left the box.

She walked lightly through the lobby and corridors of the restaurant and left the restaurant gracefully under the gaze of everyone, while she had already started to plan in her mind.
