Is the beginning of a catastrophe? The little farm cook is raising a family with a full warehouse.

Seeing him run away, Cheng Yuntao was not angry.

It's just that she originally planned to keep him for a meal, but she didn't expect that he would run away in the blink of an eye.

Never mind, just let it be. If we are destined to be together, we will meet again in the future.

"It's getting late. Let's find an inn and have a meal and rest."

After a busy day, everyone had no objection to the proposal and actively packed their bags and joined the bustling crowd.

After some comparison and choice, the group stepped into a simple and elegant inn. When they entered, the innkeeper was concentrating on fiddling with the abacus at the counter, and the beads crackled under his fingertips.

A customer came, but he had not yet sorted out the accounts on hand and it was difficult for him to be in the store. So he turned his head slightly and shouted to the waiter who was standing idly in the store.

"A guest has arrived, go and greet him!"

The waiter, hearing the shopkeeper's call, quickly put down the rag in his hand, smiled, and walked quickly forward to greet him: "Dear guests, are you here for a meal or to stay overnight?"

Cheng Yuntao did not answer immediately, but took a quick look at the surrounding environment.

After noticing her gaze, the waiter's mind became clear: "Don't worry, sir. Our inn is well-known in Junhua City. It is definitely worth the money!"

The inn is of moderate size and reasonable layout. The tables and chairs in the hall are neatly arranged and the waiters are diligent. Although these tables and chairs are not brand new, they are wiped clean and have a faint luster.

The floor is paved with flat square bricks, clean and tidy, with only a few minor wears and tear. The beams and pillars are thick and strong. Although there are no gorgeous carvings, they are solid and reliable.

Overall, although the decoration of this store is simple, it is still stylish and well-equipped, and it is of medium quality. I think the price should not be too high and it should be affordable.

Cheng Yuntao nodded slightly, quite satisfied, and decided to stay here tonight: "Let's eat first, and then arrange for a hotel after we're full and satisfied."

"Okay! Five distinguished guests, please come this way!" The waiter stretched out his hand and stepped sideways, guiding the group to sit down inside.

It was dinner time and there were already quite a few people sitting in the inn. A rough look showed that about two-thirds of the seats were occupied by diners.

In the small shop, all kinds of things are on display.

At the next table, a few people dressed as traveling merchants were feasting on their food and talking loudly about anecdotes from various places with laughter; by the window sat a few chivalrous men, although they were just eating quietly, the swords on their waists revealed a unique heroic spirit; most of them were ordinary people, accompanied by two or three family members, sitting in their seats and chatting in low voices.

The waiters shuttled back and forth between the tables and chairs, serving dishes and wine skillfully and responding to the diners' various needs. Looking at the lively atmosphere, it is obvious that the business of this inn is really good.

"Waiter, do you have any recommended dishes?"

After Cheng Yuntao unloaded the bag he was carrying, he turned around and asked the waiter who was standing by and serving him.

Everyone was coming to Junhua City for the first time and didn't know much about the dishes in the inn. Instead of ordering blindly, it was better to ask the host for recommendations and give some options.

Upon hearing this, the waiter's face lit up with smiles, and he enthusiastically introduced: "Our overall taste is light, and we focus on the original flavor."

"I highly recommend the steamed sea bass. The fish is caught every morning from a nearby fresh fish lake. The meat is tender and smooth, preserving the freshness of the fish to the greatest extent. It's so delicious that you'll want to smack your lips."

"Another specialty is the tofu stew. The tofu is tender and smooth, and the broth is rich and mellow. It's delicious when eaten with rice, and it's sure to get guests to order several bowls of rice."

"You can also try the Jade Shrimp, which features fresh and plump shrimp cooked with crisp and tender peas. The shrimp is as translucent as jade, and the peas are as green as emerald."

……

The waiter introduced several dishes in one breath, and then looked at Cheng Yuntao expectantly, waiting for her answer.

After Cheng Yuntao discussed it with everyone for a while, he said, "Serve the dishes you mentioned earlier. Also, stir-fry two plates of seasonal vegetables and five bowls of rice."

"Okay! Ladies and gentlemen, please wait a moment. The food will be served to you shortly!" After the words fell, the waiter turned around quickly and ran towards the kitchen at the speed of wind.

Before long, the dishes that had been ordered were served on the table one by one.

Cheng Yuntao tasted them and found that the dishes were very bland as Shen Shulan had said before. It seemed that this ordinary inn was also influenced by the upper class, and the taste of the entire Junhua City tended to be unified.

After all, it can open a store, so the taste is definitely not too bad, it is edible and can be eaten with rice.

It's nice to have a meal like this once in a while, but if it's like this every day, it would be a bit... boring.

The other people at the table were already accustomed to the dishes cooked by Cheng Yuntao. They had no idea how many times the sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty flavors had rolled over their tongues. It was a bit strange to suddenly eat something so bland.

Cheng Jingzhu and Cheng Yueli held their chins, with varying degrees of resentment on their faces, and ate much slower than usual.

Zhou Xiufang had lived a hard life for most of her life. Although there were some setbacks, she adjusted herself well and enjoyed these dishes very much.

Jiang Yu was in a mixed mood, as if he had had two days of good times, but was then brought back to his old self.

During this meal, everyone had their own thoughts and were in low spirits.

……

After dinner, everyone moved to the counter and planned to book a room to rest.

"Boss, what types of rooms do you have? Could you introduce some to me?" Cheng Yuntao leaned sideways on the counter, looking up along the stairs on the left.

"Since the guest has asked, let me give you a brief introduction," the shopkeeper said as he stopped fiddling with the abacus.

"Let's talk about the upper room first. It's quite spacious and bright, with excellent natural light. The couch is spacious and soft, with brocade curtains. There are also tables and chairs, all made of solid wood, polished to a smooth finish. There's also a small stove next to the table to keep out the cold in winter. The price is one hundred coins per night."

"The medium-sized room is a bit smaller, but it's also clean and tidy. Although it doesn't have too many decorations, it's still as clean as new. It has a stable bed covered with plain bedding, which is thick and warm. It only costs sixty cents a night."

"If you don't mind squeezing in a bit, the large bunk beds are a great place to save money. They can sleep quite a few people, lined up along the wall. The wooden bed boards, though a bit rough, are sturdy and durable. The bedding, though thin, is clean and regularly washed and aired, so there's not much odor. It's only thirty coins per person. It's quite economical for those of you traveling together."

Every time the shopkeeper introduces a room type, he will gesture with the number corresponding to the price.

Although he spoke very fast, his pronunciation was clear and his introduction was detailed, allowing people to understand the differences between these room types at once.

"I wonder what type of room these guests are planning to stay in?" The shopkeeper stroked his mustache and waited for a reply with a smile.
