Quick mission: We don't make trouble

Yunniang frowned and said worriedly, "Even if Second Master agrees to let someone use the mansion to open a shop, don't forget about Old Master! After all, it was a gift from the late Emperor. Even though Old Master doesn't live there himself, it doesn't mean he'll willingly give it to someone else to use for business."

Yang Wu responded confidently, "You don't have to worry about that. As long as Master Zhu takes a fancy to that house, Second Master will definitely agree. And with Second Master's ability and eloquence, it is not difficult to convince the old master. You know, it is a waste of resources if that house has been idle. If you use it to open a shop, it can create wealth continuously." As he spoke, Yang Wu couldn't help but think of the delicious hot pot made by Master Zhu, and his mouth was watering with greed.

Yunniang shook her head helplessly, sighed, and said, "Well, if that's the case, then we can only leave it to fate. But then again, the Zhu family is truly remarkable. Not only do they have the Second Master's trust and respect, but even you servants are sincerely subservient to them... Oh, forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. You should hurry upstairs and entertain the guests. I'll pack up and be there soon."

Not long after, Yunniang walked in with a smile on her face, followed closely by several energetic waiters. Each of them held a large tray with dishes on it.

Yunniang walked to the table, bowed slightly and said, "Dear guests, these are all our restaurant's signature dishes. Please enjoy them slowly. If you have any needs, just call me anytime." After that, she turned around gracefully and left the room.

At this time, Yang Wu, who was sitting at the bottom, said apologetically, "Oh, I'm so sorry, Master Zhu, we only have some simple food here. It's not respectful, please don't mind." Zhu Qingqing, who was sitting next to him, glanced at the food on the table and nodded politely, "Well, it looks pretty good."

Everyone looked closely and saw that the table was filled with large plates and bowls. Several plates of rich, fragrant cured meats, the translucent bacon and glossy sausages making one salivate; there was also a plate of perfectly cooked beef, tender and juicy; even more eye-catching was a large plate of golden, crispy roasted lamb, sizzling with oil and emitting waves of tempting aroma; there was also a large pot of steaming pork bones stewed with lotus root, the milky broth filled with soft, glutinous lotus roots and fragrant bones; in the center sat a steamed fish, smothered in a dark, yet delicious-looking sauce; and finally, a bowl of thick, greasy paste, which looked like some kind of soup.

Yang Jiu pointed at the pot of pork bone stewed with lotus root and said curiously, "Hey, this pork bone stewed with lotus root must be a new dish. I don't think I've seen it before." Yang Wu nodded in agreement, "Yes, Master Zhu, please excuse me."

However, Zhu Yingying frowned and complained, "Why are there only meat dishes? There's not even a single vegetable dish!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Jiu immediately retorted, "Who would go to a restaurant just to eat vegetarian food? Isn't the purpose of going to a restaurant to try all the delicious food?"

Zhu Yingying: “…”

Seeing this, Mr. Zhu quickly scolded him, "You're the one who talks the most. Alright, alright, let's eat! Isn't this lotus root considered a vegetarian dish?"

Zhu Yingying looked at Zhu Qingqing: "Sister, I want to eat fried lotus root slices and stir-fried vegetables."

Zhu Qingqing: "Okay. I'll satisfy you. I'll do it for you when I get home tonight."

Zhu Yingying: "I want to eat it now. How about you show off your cooking skills?"

Zhu Qingqing knew her sister wanted her to show off her cooking skills in the kitchen, so she said, "I'll definitely show off my skills in the future, but not now. Pinxiangyuan has been able to survive in the city, so it must have its own unique characteristics. We're guests today, so why not try their flavors?"

Yu Bo said, "Sister Yingying, come and try this roasted lamb. It's very good."

Zhu Yingying stopped talking.
