Male superiority and female superiority: forced love

Liangcheng is still red after the festival, and is filled with the aftertaste of the New Year.

The burnt firecrackers and dead leaves on the ground huddled together, and the seeds of hope quietly sprouted.

Ruan Chuyin looked through the curtains at the peach blossoms blooming on both sides of the official road, hoping that in the days to come, her family would be able to live in peace and safety.

Driving through Liangsong Street, you can see students everywhere.

There is a long queue in front of Mingyue Restaurant, and the sales of seafood porridge are still hot.

"Jiusi, try the cooking in the building later. I guarantee you will want to eat more." Ruan Chuyin's eyes were full of confidence and pride, which made Wei Jiusi unable to help but look forward to it.

Zhao Wuji had just put down his abacus when he saw several figures standing at the gate. His eyebrows raised high and he jumped up from his chair excitedly.

"Prince, Princess, you are finally back! Ever since you left, the General and his wife have been looking forward to your early return."

Suddenly, she looked at the strange man beside her, secretly guessing his identity.

The man's eyes were quite cold, as if covered by a layer of icy mist. His handsome face was too pale, making his pupils look even brighter and sharper.

Such a rare good looks, coupled with such a chilling aura, would make people avoid him even if he was handsome.

Ruan Chuyin noticed the doubt in Zhao Wuji's eyes and took the initiative to introduce: "Uncle Zhao, this is my husband Wei Jiusi. He will come to the building to help me in the future."

Zhao Wuji looked at the prince blankly, and seeing that his expression was normal, he felt relieved. He smiled and said hello while leading them upstairs.

No matter how popular the business in the building is, Cuibai Pavilion, which has the best environment, will always be empty.

This elegant room is connected to an inner room, where the owner will rest when he is too busy.

The lunch prepared by the kitchen was particularly sumptuous.

There are eight dishes in total, including lotus duck slices, crab stuffed with orange, bird's nest in clear soup, yellow croaker in soup, grilled lamb chops, potato mille-feuille, spinach in soup and sweet osmanthus lotus root, plus two desserts: peony crystal cake and jasmine tea cheese.

Whether in terms of cooking method, taste or presentation, Wei Jiusi had never seen or eaten anything like it before.

He had always loved food, and the dishes at Mingyue Tower piqued his interest greatly. As he savored the dazzling array of delicacies and listened to Ruan Chuyin's detailed explanations, he suddenly decided that staying here and helping run the restaurant might be a good idea.

"Jiusi, there are many customers in the building. The morning market starts before dawn and it doesn't end until late at night. After four o'clock in the morning, I have to go to receive the goods early. I am busy like a top every day. These links have been staffed. You just need to help me control the quality, sort out the accounts, and manage the restaurant." Ruan Chuyin spoke softly, fearing that her husband would be scared away by so much work.

Wei Jiusi pondered her words and felt unsure.

He had used all the money he had earned from Moonlight Pavilion to buy shops, so he had no business experience. Looking into his wife's eyes, which were filled with hope, he said for the first time in his life, "Don't worry. As long as I'm here, I'll definitely help you manage Mingyue Tower."

Qin Guanzhi took a sip of wine calmly, a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he looked out the window with his eyes slightly narrowed.

Tender green buds are poking out from the bare branches, and Spring girl is walking towards us from all directions with light steps.

Downstairs, a group of energetic men in black robes looked at the plaque hanging high above their heads, their eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Master, can we really order whatever we want and eat whatever we want later?" Wu Fei glanced at the packed hall, turned back to count the number of people again, with an embarrassed look on his face.

"The worst that can happen is you can just pay me some money. Are you afraid that you can't afford the food when the sect leader is here?" Jinshan glanced at his foolish and ignorant junior brother with a bad temper. He really wanted to pry his head open to see how it looked.

"But Miss Ruan said we can eat for free. Do you think she'll accept it?" Chi Youliang felt that Ruan Chuyin would definitely not accept money. He was worried that after this meal, he would be unable to move his legs again.

Yan Shanting lowered his eyes, and there was a deep pool hidden in his black pupils, dark and unclear.

"Then...order a few fewer dishes." He hesitated for a moment before replying.

Since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it. I don't know when I'll come to Liangcheng again. Today I've accepted her invitation and accepted her favor.

Zhao Wuji was worrying about how to arrange for the twelve distinguished guests who had just arrived. When he saw the jade token hanging around the waist of the handsome man in the lead, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Just based on the relationship between Xuantian Sect and the Crown Prince and Princess, they have to make room for them no matter how difficult it is.

Zui Ri Pavilion was the largest private room in the building, capable of accommodating twenty people. After a moment's deliberation, he sent two jars of fine wine to the guests inside, waived their bills, and invited them to return another day.

The guests at those two tables had almost finished their meals, but when they heard about this good thing, they happily put down their chopsticks.

"Master Yan, the Crown Prince and his wife are in the building right now. I will go and inform them in a moment." Zhao Wuji handed over the menu with a smile on his face.

Yan Shanting was stunned, and the smiling face suddenly jumped into his mind, but after thinking about it, he shook his head.

"We still have things to do, so we'll leave after eating. No need to bother you." After saying that, he opened the menu and selected twelve medium-priced dishes.

When Zhao Wuji saw that there was not even a decent seafood dish, he immediately became anxious and hurried to Cuibai Pavilion to report.

At this point, only Ruan Chuyin and Wei Jiusi were left in the elegant pavilion. Qin Guanzhi and Yu Yu had returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's residence first, while Wen Cangnan had returned to her mansion.

"The leader of Xuantian Sect is here?" Ruan Chuyin took their order in surprise and read it twice from beginning to end. They were all quick dishes. It seemed that they were really in a hurry as Zhao Wuji said.

Yan Shanting had been so kind to her. Not only had he braved the rain to take her down the cliff to look for someone, he had also taken such good care of her and sent her to her husband. How could such a great favor be offset by some ordinary dishes?

"Uncle Zhao, I will prepare their banquet."

After saying that, he turned to Wei Jiusi, gave him a few brief instructions, and asked him to stay in Cuibai Pavilion to familiarize himself with the account books.

Before the hot dishes were served, plates of exquisite fruits and hot tea had already covered half of the table.

Ruan Chuyin replaced all the dishes they ordered with high-quality ingredients.

The big shrimps in the crispy salt and pepper shrimp balls are replaced with magical shrimps.

The belly of the fairy chicken is filled with abalone.

The ordinary sea bass in the steamed sea bass is replaced with the expensive spotted sea bass.

The shredded chicken in the three-strand bird's nest was replaced with sashimi, and the soup base was also changed to Buddha Jumps Over the Wall broth.

All twelve dishes had undergone a qualitative leap, and twelve new dishes were added for them. Only three stoves in the kitchen were left to cook for other tables, and all the other stoves were running at full capacity to cook the dishes of Zui Ri Pavilion.

In less than half an incense stick of time, all twenty-four dishes were served smoothly.
