Peerless Young Master

"Don't miss it if you're passing by, Home Inn's new delicacy, Wushuang Roast Duck, is unparalleled in the world."

"For dinner, go to Home Inn Restaurant, and for duck, go to Wushuang Roast Duck"

“If you don’t eat Wushuang Roast Duck, you’ve come to Junluo City in vain; if you don’t come to Rujia Restaurant, you won’t know the delicious food.”

On the bustling streets, two servants were carrying large cloth bags stuffed full on their waists, and holding a thick stack of goods in their hands, shouting along the streets.

“Give me one.”

Just then, a sweet voice sounded.

The servant looked up and saw a beautiful lady from a wealthy family. He quickly handed her a piece and said enthusiastically, “Miss, Home Inn Restaurant has launched the Wushuang Roast Duck, which is very popular and delicious.

If you are interested, you can go and try them, but you need to make an appointment in advance. Only fifty are sold a day. If you go too late, they will be sold out."

Lin Ruolin looked at the paper in her hand. Not only were there pictures of Wushuang Roast Duck and Wushuang Gourd Duck, but there were also annotations on the benefits of eating duck. At the bottom was the location of the Home Inn restaurant.

I have to say, this thing is quite novel. The person who came up with this idea must be quite knowledgeable about business.

Lin Ruolin looked up and revealed a faint smile, diluting the sadness between her brows: "This duck is just a duck, why is it called Wushuang?"

The servant looked embarrassed and said, "I don't know that either."

"Thank you very much"

Lin Ruolin thanked him, and a figure appeared in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared. That person would definitely not appear here.

The world is so big, if Li Xuan can do it, others can do it too.

"Miss Lin, this Rujia Restaurant has been very popular recently, especially the Wushuang Roast Duck and Wushuang Hulu Duck, which are very popular. Their business and reputation are almost catching up with ours.

Now they've sent people hawking their wares along the streets, attracting plenty of attention. If they continue like this, they'll definitely outshine us." The shopkeeper looked worried.

"It's strange how popular the Rujia Restaurant is. We used to suppress them, but now they're on par with us. Especially these two dishes, they are definitely not something that Rujia Restaurant can make.

There must be a secret behind this that we don’t know about.” Lin Ruolin pondered and felt that there must be someone backing Home Inn, otherwise it would be impossible to make such a popular dish.

"I heard that Home Inn is using tens of thousands of taels of silver to find a skilled chef. I wonder if they have found one. If so, we must fight back as soon as possible, otherwise our business will surely plummet." The shopkeeper suspected that Home Inn had found a skilled chef.

"Send someone to investigate. It's impossible for Rujia to make such delicious food on their own. There must be someone behind this."

…………

Half a month later.

Home Inn Restaurant, Wushuang Building!

"Pili Bara"

With the blast of firecrackers, the bustling crowd on the street was instantly attracted and stopped to take a look.

Mr. Ru stood in the middle with a smile on his face. With the completion of Wushuang Building, he seemed to have seen Rujia Restaurant become famous in the capital and become the top restaurant. At the same time, he would be able to suppress the Lin family and give them a slap in the face.

"Wushuang Building"

"Wushuang Roast Duck, Wushuang Gourd Duck, and now there is a Wushuang Building. How come they are all related to Wushuang?" Someone looked at the three golden words "Wushuang Building" and talked about it.

"Shopkeeper Ru, what is this Wushuang Building used for? Maybe the business is so good that they plan to expand it?" someone said loudly.

"Everyone, Wushuang Building is opening today. Thank you for your support. The reason we built this Wushuang Building is not simply because the business is too good and the place is too small," said Ruda.

"What is that? We can't just not do business," someone said.

“What everyone doesn’t know is that the reason why Home Inn’s business is so successful is all thanks to a mysterious person, whose name I am not comfortable revealing.

It is because of this person that we have Wushuang Roast Duck, Wushuang Hulu Duck and many more delicious dishes..."

"According to this person's instructions, I will build the Wushuang Building here. It has seven floors in total, and each floor has a pair. As long as someone can find the right pair, they can move in.

As long as someone can answer the question correctly, all the dishes at Home Inn Restaurant will be free."

Wow!

After hearing this, everyone understood a little, but what surprised them even more was the word "free".

You know, a Wushuang roast duck costs ten taels of silver, and it is still in short supply. If you come too late, you won’t be able to eat it at all. Many people are willing to pay a high price just to have a taste of it.

Even so, there is no demand for it.

"It's true what the shopkeeper said. As long as you get it right, it's free. Even the Wushuang Roast Duck is available." Someone was excited. Although a Wushuang duck only costs ten taels of silver, if you want to eat it, you need at least thirty taels of silver.

"Of course, I, Ruda, never lie."

"I come"

At this moment, a man dressed as a scholar came out. He had been longing for Wushuang Roast Duck for a long time and had always wanted to taste it, but he was short of money.

"If you are the shopkeeper, please come up with your answer," said the scholar.

Ruda smiled without saying anything and waved to the servants. Soon, a banner fell from the second floor of Wushuang Building, which read "The moon is bright and the stars are sparse. There will definitely be no rain tonight."

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, so there will definitely be no rain tonight!

If one only looks at the literal meaning, the moon in the sky is bright, the stars are sparse, and it will not rain tonight; but the scholar knows that this couplet is definitely not that simple.

Seeing the scholar pondering, Ruda stood aside and said, "Hint: this couplet is a homophonic pair. It refers to the couplets made by the bride when a couple gets married."

The scholar thought for a while, but still couldn't come up with the second line. He waved his hand, bowed, and returned to the crowd.

"I come"

"I come"

Then a few more people came and also came up with the second line of the couplet, but none of them was what Ruda wanted.

"The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, so there will definitely be no rain tonight; the sky is high and the clouds are light, so there will definitely be a beautiful tomorrow." At this moment, a melodious voice was heard.

"Zheng Caizi"

"With Zheng Caizi's help, this is definitely a sure thing."

"Right, good"

"The sky is high and the clouds are light, there will surely be a beautiful scene tomorrow" echoes the lines "The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, there will definitely be no rain tonight." The first couplet describes the clearness of the night sky, foreshadowing a rainless night.

The second line looks forward to the next day when the sky is high and the clouds are light, foreshadowing the day when the wind will rise. The two lines form a contrast in meteorology, which is both in line with the laws of nature and full of poetry.

"As expected of Zheng Caizi, he came up with such a difficult pair right away."

After hearing the scholar's analysis, many people complimented Zheng the talented scholar.

Zheng Yuan's eyes were calm as he bowed and said, "I wonder if this couplet of mine is acceptable to you."

Ruda chuckled: "The second line is indeed good, but as I said, it is a homophonic pair, and the emphasis is on the word 'no rain'."

"This..." Zheng Yuan frowned and the smile on his lips became stiff.

In the crowd, there was a beautiful figure, it was Lin Ruolin. At this moment, she could hardly hide the sadness on her face.

If Wushuang Roast Duck and its publicity all over the streets are qualified to compete with Lin’s Restaurant, then this Wushuang Restaurant will be the Optimus Prime that crushes her.

Even if others don't understand, how could she not understand?

It is clear that Home Ru wants to use Wushuang Tower to attract scholars in the capital, increase its fame, and surpass the Lin Family Restaurant in one fell swoop.

We must never let Home Inn succeed!

"Miss, I found it." At this moment, a figure came over and stood beside Lin Ruolin and whispered.
