The two of them stared at each other, causing Li Han to blush. Lu Li nervously said, "Why are you so careless? Why are you climbing so high? What if you fall?"

Li Han smiled flatteringly and said, "Oh, I just saw that the dates were growing well, so I wanted to pick a few to try."

"You're such a greedy little cat. It's not easy to eat dates. Just wait." Lu Li then jumped up and picked the dates off: "Come on, I'll pick as many as you want."

"Wow, Lu Li you are awesome!" Li Han clapped his hands happily.

"By the way, why are you here? Have you finished your business for today?"

"Well, come and see you. I can go wherever you want today."

"Great, come with me and take a look."

Thus, the following unusually 'harmonious' scene appeared: Li Han and Juan'er were strolling around in front, eating and drinking, while Lu Li and the servant were carrying bags and small bags behind them, and were also responsible for paying the bills. Lu Li was helpless about this, as it turned out that shopping is a woman's nature in any era.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Li Han finally felt a little tired and suggested, "Let's go to the teahouse in front and rest for a while." Lu Li immediately felt relieved. "Okay, I think you must be tired after walking for so long."

As they were talking, they had already arrived at the teahouse: "Boss, please give us a private room. Then, we'll give you the best snacks and tea."

"Okay, Your Highness, please go upstairs." The waiter said enthusiastically.

They arrived at the private room. The servant and Juan'er were sorting out the spoils they had picked up along the way. Li Han and Lu Li sat at the table, watching the people coming and going downstairs. "Ah, I'm so tired. It's been a while since I've had a good shopping trip."

Lu Li poured Li Han some tea and said, "Now you know you're tired. Why didn't you complain when we were shopping just now?"

"Isn't it so hard that you can accompany me shopping? I'm happy. Do you have any objection?" Li Han asked fiercely.

"No, no, no, it's my honor to accompany my respected Princess shopping."

"Hmph, you're smart!" Li Han replied coquettishly.

Soon the waiter brought up the snacks. Li Han ate the snacks while chatting with Lu Li. Looking at the exquisite and lovely pastries in front of him, Li Han suddenly remembered that he had not been to Huayun Pavilion for a long time. He thought that he had really gone too far as a hands-off boss.

Besides, Huayun Pavilion hadn't introduced any new dishes in a long time, so it was time for something new. So after parting with Lu Li, Li Han retreated to his room to research new dishes that would suit the tastes of today's people. After all, if he introduced too many dishes at once, no one would dare to try them. He could only gradually, and gradually, let diners accept the differences between Huayun Pavilion and other places. After all, Li Han was confident that his dishes would retain the appetites of more diners, but he still needed to carefully consider which dishes to withdraw.

The next day, Li Han planned to go to Huayun Pavilion to see if she could introduce some new dishes. After thinking about it most of the night before, she had already decided what new dishes to introduce.

"Juan'er, get ready. We're going to Huayun Pavilion today."

"Okay, Princess, I'll get ready right away."

Li Han turned around and saw the things she and Lu Li had bought together yesterday. Suddenly, she remembered that she hadn't invited Lu Li to Huayun Pavilion for dinner yet. It was a good opportunity for him to taste my cooking skills. So she planned to invite Lu Li here tonight and sent someone to Lu Li's house to make an appointment. "Come on, go to Lu Li's house and tell him that I will invite him to Huayun Pavilion for dinner tonight and let him taste my cooking skills."

"yes."

When she arrived at Huayun Pavilion, she saw Du Jian. Du Jian saw Li Han's changing expression and hurried over to tell the heroine about the recent situation of the forces.

"Li Han, you're here. I was just about to come look for you. How have you been these past few days? There hasn't been any major news from our forces in Tan Country lately, but it's all been about jealousy between the royal children and the women in the harem. I just went there and told them to keep an eye on it. They must not slack off even a little. Also, you haven't visited your friends in the pavilion for a long time. They're so sad, it's funny..."

When Li Han saw him, she remembered the pain Gui Yue suffered on their wedding day and was not very enthusiastic about him. "I've been busy lately. I'll go see them after I'm busy for a while. Also, tell them to send a message to us immediately if there's any movement from Tan Country."

After a few nods, he prepared to go upstairs. Seeing her indifferent towards him, Du Jian felt a pang in his heart, "Li Han! I...does it have to be like this between us? Is there really no way back to the way it was?"

Li Han stopped and turned around and said, "I can't go back, Du Jian, I hope you remember that you are Gui Yue's husband. We were friends before and will be friends in the future, but if you betray Gui Yue, we can't even be friends anymore. I have something to do, so I'll leave you first." After that, he turned around and went upstairs.

Arriving upstairs in Li Han's private room, she called all the staff together to give them a round of encouragement. She then asked the steward and the chef to stay and explain the dishes and marketing plan she had drafted the previous night. She planned to serve Sichuan cuisine, as Huayun Pavilion had relatively few spicy dishes, and spicy dishes were a favorite among these diners. After all, chili peppers not only made one's mouth water, but also stimulated the taste buds and whetted the appetite. Therefore, she believed that the Sichuan cuisine she was introducing would be popular with even more diners.

"Master, your idea is good, but we have never seen or even heard of these dishes, such as boiled beef, chopped pepper fish head, spicy rabbit head... How are we supposed to cook them?" one of the chefs asked.

"Don't worry about that. I'll show you how to make these dishes and the precautions to take later. If you think it's feasible, we'll start selling Sichuan cuisine at Huayun Pavilion starting tomorrow."

"Oh, okay, okay!"

Hearing that their master was willing to teach them his cooking methods, the chefs were also very excited. You have to know that in this era, even if you are an apprentice, you only learn a few tricks while helping your master. Who would easily teach others the skills that can make a living? They must have met a good master.

"Alright, you guys go ahead and cook. The manager's job is to promote our dishes first. Let's get them hyped up before they're even released, and then we can create a new profit record for Huayun Pavilion tomorrow!"

The steward said, "Okay, I'll do it right away and make sure you're satisfied!"

"Well, we're going to host a banquet for Lu Li tonight. Juan'er and I will go shopping on the street first to see if there's anything I need. I'll show you my skills tonight."

"Great, great! Today we are not only able to receive instruction from the Master but also to taste the Master's cooking. This is truly a blessing. Hahahaha!"

Everyone laughed and came out of the room to do their job. Li Han was also preparing to take Juan'er to the street to take a look, but he didn't expect that Du Jian was still downstairs and had not left.

"Why haven't you left yet? Is there anything else?" Li Han was obviously a little impatient.
