Because of Yuan Rong's words, many people in the crowd took a few steps back.

They pointed at the brothel, their faces showing disdain.

Upon seeing this scene, Peach Blossom's face turned deathly pale in an instant!

For a moment, she was completely lost and stood there at a loss.

Seeing this, Lin Yan gently squeezed her hand to encourage her.

But she didn't notice that Peach Blossom's body suddenly trembled slightly...

After letting go of her hand, Lin Yan looked in the direction of the sound.

The person speaking was none other than the woman they had met at the Prince's mansion that day!

She couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, surprised.

That day, in front of Xiao Jue, the girl was so gentle and considerate.

I never expected her to be so mean after leaving the Prince's mansion.

It's no wonder Xiao Jue didn't love this woman who was two-faced...

"Don't worry, everyone. Our restaurant has been disinfected and is absolutely clean. Moreover, our hot pot tastes amazing. I believe even His Highness Prince Su would rave about it!"

"Girl, you're just bragging! His Highness Prince Su is such a noble person, he's tasted all kinds of delicacies, how could he possibly like your so-called hot pot!"

"That's right!"

Everyone just thought she was bragging and couldn't help but laugh at her overestimating her abilities.

Of course, this was not Lin Yan's original intention.

She said it on purpose so that Yuan Rong would hear it.

Sure enough, Yuan Rong's expression changed after she finished speaking.

She snorted coldly and left with her maids.

Of course, before leaving, her eyes were fixed on Lin Yan, a hint of resentment flashing in them...

The first day of opening was not very successful, with less than 30 people visiting.

Not only because someone had died in the shop, but also because it used to be a brothel.

Some men claim they're there for hot pot, but actually they're just trying to take advantage of the girls.

Whenever this situation arose, Lin Yan would have Zhou Yu and Zhou Yun step forward.

Amidst the other party's cursing and shouting, they kicked the person out.

As time went on, far fewer men came to the store to take advantage of the situation.

Zhou Yu and Zhou Yun were the thugs she hired.

The two sisters used to work in the martial arts industry. They were tall and strong, and honest people.

Lin Yan had tried their martial arts skills and found them to be quite good, and their strength was also considerable.

She invited them over at a high price of three taels and eight mace per person per month.

Because the city is too far from Xiaolin Village, it is not suitable to transport vegetables here every day.

She then selected eight girls and taught them how to cultivate enoki mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, and make tofu, dried bean curd, and other similar products.

Since none of the girls could do math, Lin Yan had to hire another female manager.

In order to improve her business, Lin Yan stayed in the prefectural city for a few more days.

They come up with new ideas for opening activities every day.

Fortunately, the taste of the hot pot eventually overcame everyone's fear of the dead.

On the third day after opening, the store's foot traffic finally started to pick up a little.

As evening approached, the hot pot restaurant welcomed an unexpected customer.

Looking at the dashing man standing at the gate, Lin Yan blinked slowly, looking at him uncertainly.

"Please come in, young master... uh... Your Highness?"

Xiao Jue was amused by her stunned expression, and raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked at Lin Yan and said:

"What, young lady, you don't welcome me?"

As the local lord, Lin Yan's decision to take over Baihualou and transform it into a hot pot restaurant was naturally not kept from Xiao Jue.

He had only intended to send some congratulatory gifts and that would be it.

After all, this used to be a brothel.

As a member of the royal family, he was taught from childhood to be strictly forbidden from going to brothels and similar places.

Although in recent years, many members of the royal family and officials have long regarded this rule as worthless.

But he always adhered to it without ever slacking off.

If she hadn't given him that hint on the opening day, he would never have stepped foot in this place.

After all, he was his savior.

Since she wants to use his name to promote the store, he has to give her face.

"How could this be?! Your Highness, please come inside. I'll arrange a private room upstairs for you!"

Lin Yan deliberately shouted "Your Highness Prince Su" loudly and clearly.

Sure enough, upon hearing the name of Prince Su...

People inside and outside the store craned their necks to look out, just to catch a glimpse of him.

"No need, no need, I will dine in the main hall."

Xiao Jue's reluctance to go upstairs was not because he was approachable or willing to share the joy with the people.

Instead, he always felt that the upstairs room had been a boudoir for prostitutes to entertain their clients.

He always felt it wasn't clean...

Lin Yan had no idea what he was thinking.

She thought he deliberately chose to dine in the crowded lobby to advertise for her.

Therefore, she was even more enthusiastic in entertaining Xiao Jue.

Sure enough, as soon as he stepped into the store, many people who had been waiting outside also entered.

All for the purpose of dining with His Highness Prince Su.

"Your menu is interesting; it even has pictures. Although the drawing skills are a bit lacking, it's still manageable to understand."

"Your Highness is too kind."

Lin Yan felt ashamed; in fact, Xiao Jue had been being rather tactful.

After all, her drawing skills are far from lacking!

After all, apart from medical skills and what she learned in the military, she knew almost nothing else.

She even learned to cook by watching videos during her vacation, and even then, she only knows a few signature dishes.

Not to mention delicate work like painting!

It seems she'll have to hire an artist...

Fortunately, her memory is still pretty good.

When I came across a video of a blogger making hot pot in a large pot, I watched it several times because I was interested, and I almost remembered it.
