The restaurant's female owner wore a dark green cloth dress, her hair was tied up with a cloth ribbon, she had a slender figure, a small face, gentle eyes that seemed to drip water, thick and long eyelashes that drooped slightly, thin lips that were slightly pursed, and a smile that was as captivating as a crescent moon.

The waiters serving the food were all dressed in beige cloth clothes, with headscarves on their heads and long towels draped over their shoulders, looking very clean.

The girls who took orders were all dressed in light green cloth skirts with bows tied around their waists. They looked more like maids or servants from an official's household than restaurant helpers.

The doorman at the entrance was dressed in a light red cloth shirt, with two cute buns tied with red ribbons on his head, which was very eye-catching.

"See that? This is standardized service," Yun Duoduo said to A Xiang, looking inside with a smug expression.

"No matter which branch of Cai Xiang Ge you go to, you can experience consistent and stable service."

Ah Xiang nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"Miss, we've been out for two hours and have already visited three restaurants. Would you like to sit down and rest for a while?"

Ah Xiang tried to persuade him from the side.

Outside, Ah Xiang always calls Yun Duoduo "Miss".

"It's alright. You know, Su Buqing and Chu Dunshi are quite capable. The managers of these branches seem to be cut from the same mold. They're all good-looking and fertile," Yun Duoduo said with a smile.

"That's right. Although these restaurant owners are all dressed as country girls, they all have pretty faces. I'm sure their restaurants will do very well in the future."

"Okay, let's go check out the remaining restaurants. I'll feel at ease once we've looked at them all."

Yun Yishu was unwell today, so Yun Duoduo took over his rounds.

Yun Duoduo pulled A Xiang into the carriage to check on the opening status of the remaining restaurants.

"We've already looked at the three branches on Chang'an Avenue. Next, let's check out the restaurants near Duoduo Qianzhuang and Huichuntang."

Yun Duoduo gave the instructions, and Uncle Li shouted as he drove the carriage toward Duoduo's money shop.

When they arrived at the restaurant near the money exchange, Yun Duoduo and A Xiang got off the carriage and saw a long queue in front of Cai Xiang Ge restaurant.

A notice was posted on the restaurant window that read: "Two people enter the restaurant and one person eats free. This means that the restaurant's signature dishes are buy one get one free. Quantities are limited, so come and dine with your friends and family as soon as possible. The promotion will last for the first three days after the restaurant opens."

Is the "buy one get one free" deal on meals real?

A girl in a floral dress who was passing by asked.

"It's true! My brother-in-law and cousin-in-law ate at this restaurant earlier today. They said the wild vegetables were very authentic, and the bill was only half the price!"

A man in brocade robes, who was standing in line, said this, with a beautiful woman standing beside him.

The young man behind him shook his head and muttered helplessly, "Brother-in-law and cousin-in-law? The world is going to the dogs, it's an insult to civility."

Yun Duoduo and A Xiang covered their mouths and laughed, preparing to squeeze in to take a look. Just as they were about to step over the threshold, a plump aunt grabbed Yun Duoduo from behind and pinched her arm painfully.

"This little girl is so ill-mannered, but she's quite pretty. Can't she see everyone queuing up here?"

"No cutting in line! Go to the back of the line!"

The plump aunt shouted angrily, waving her thick arm as if she would slap Yun Duoduo if she dared to resist.

"Auntie, you've misunderstood. We're not here to eat. We know the owner of this place and just wanted to say hello."

Yun Duoduo broke free from the plump aunt's hand and walked into the restaurant.

"Hmm, the decorations, the manager, the waiters and waitresses are all the same, and the dishes look good too. Let's go."

Yun Duoduo looked around at the dishes on the table, then pulled Ah Xiang away from the fourth branch of Cai Xiang Ge.

"Miss, that's quite a skill."

Ah Xiang was amazed; in just a few short years, Yun Duoduo and the Third Prince Yun Yishu had already opened many shops in the capital and surrounding cities.

"This method has attracted quite a few people!"

"Young master, this is a dried fruit that a vendor came to sell today. It looks pretty good, very clean. I tasted a few and they were sweet and sour, fresh dried fruit. You can take some with you on your way!"

Su Buqing smiled and asked the servant to pack a bag of dried fruit and hand it to A Xiang.

Ah Xiang took the wrapped dried fruit and thanked the servant.

"Haha, okay, thank you!"

Yun Duoduo smiled and walked outside.

Yun Duoduo and A Xiang boarded a carriage and arrived at the fifth branch of Caixiang Pavilion near Huichuntang. As soon as they got off the carriage, they heard lively sounds coming from inside.

"Shopkeeper, please add a dish of pickled cabbage and glass noodles!"

A burly man in black sitting at the door shouted.

"Okay!"

"We'd like a serving of mustard greens, a dish of green beans with soy sauce, two bowls of rice, and a bowl of wild vegetable soup."

Two pretty young women sat by the window, perhaps having just come in and started ordering.

"Yes, sir, it'll be right there."

"Waiter, bring me a plate of pickled mustard greens!"

An elderly man sat with a child by the wall; the child's mouth was full of vegetable leaves.

"Here we go!"

Yun Duoduo and A Xiang stood outside, seeing that the business inside was doing quite well, and happily returned home.

"Let's go back to the palace to rest and make money while lying down!"

...

At noon, Yun Duoduo went to Zichen Palace to have lunch with Yun Beiye.

"Duoduo, your princess residence has been completed long ago. Now I have ordered them to renovate it again, and you can move in at any time."

"Father is the best!"

Yun Duoduo picked up a piece of meat and placed it in Yun Beiye's bowl.

"Father, Duoduo is about to move out to live in a separate residence."

"Father, could you give Duoduo a few people?"

"Oh? Duoduo wants to take people away?"

Yun Beiye was a little curious about who Yun Duoduo wanted to take with her.

"Aunt Wu, let Duoduo take it with her. Duoduo is used to Aunt Wu's cooking."

"Okay, Duoduo can take whoever she wants with her!"

"Zhao Zhongquan, go and make arrangements for everyone Duoduo wants to take away to leave the palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

...

The next morning, Yun Duoduo, dressed in a dark blue embroidered snow cloak and carrying a round, carved bronze hand warmer, took A Xiang to the Cai Xiang Ge restaurant again.

When they arrived at the restaurant, they saw He Niaoniao and a group of waiters sitting around the stove, picking vegetables and peeling potatoes on small stools.

There were piles of vegetables such as green beans, scallions, and potatoes on the ground.

"Miss He, are you busy? How's business?"

Yun Duoduo wanted to go inside, but her path was blocked by the piles of vegetables on the ground.

"Young master, just call me Niaoniao, come this way."

He Niaoniao tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear and pointed to another path with tables and benches, asking Yun Duoduo to go around it.

Yun Duoduo and A Xiang moved the tables and benches blocking their way and came in.
