You Said You Didn't Want to Acknowledge Me, So Why Are You Crying Now That I've Truly Cut Ties?

Yun Zhiyi always thought she was the fake young mistress who had taken another's place. After the real one returned, she held back in every way.

Only after being thrown into the mass grav...

Chapter 28 Ten Delicious Dishes for Guests

"Jade Rabbit and Colorful Butterfly, what a fine name, truly living up to its name."

The others weren't particularly impressed by the orchids, but they couldn't help but wander around the huge kumquat tree.

Upon entering through the main gate, a large area of ​​tables and chairs in the center had been cleared away.

The bluestone pillars on the ground were also pried off and a kumquat tree as thick as a waist was planted in their place.

The kumquat tree's crown had been pruned, its branches spreading out in all directions, and the leaves covering it resembled clouds.

The most spectacular sight is when the trees are covered with small golden tangerines.

Li Kui, a chef, could tell at a glance that the oranges on the tree were of excellent quality and would be absolutely delicious if made into candied fruit, so he couldn't help but stare at them intently.

A good chef meeting good ingredients is like a beauty enthusiast encountering stunning beauty, a truly exhilarating experience.

"How beautiful!" Granny Xu looked up at the yellow wisteria hanging from the second-floor railing, her eyes filled with amazement.

The restaurant is still the same as before, but with the addition of plants, it has become so elegant and charming.

Yun Zhiyi clapped her hands with a smile, "Alright, the restaurant will reopen in one hour, everyone hurry up and get ready."

Upon hearing this, everyone snapped out of their daze, quickly suppressed their astonishment, and hurriedly got to work.

Yun Zhiyi called over Lu Jingyi, who was still admiring the orchids, and Li Kui, who couldn't wait to go to the kitchen to spend time with Douya.

They were taken to the warehouse and cellar, and the situation was briefly explained to them.

Li Kui then remained standing in the cellar, unable to move the overflowing fruits and vegetables.

He led Lu Jingyi to a private room on the third floor.

She transformed this space into a separate office area.

Similarly, low walls made of vines separate each workstation.

When Lu Jingyi saw not only the enchanting fairy rabbits and butterflies, but also other orchids he had seen before or not, his breath caught in his throat.

Then he looked at her with a deep gaze, as if trying to see through her.

These orchid cups, excluding varieties I've never seen before.

Among the several that he had seen, most were rare finds, priceless treasures.

Where did she get it from?

He paused for a few moments, then sighed, "It's best not to put these outside; they'll easily attract attention."

The rabbit and butterfly were alright, since they were a species I'd never seen before.

If these highly sought-after commodities that are in high demand but have no market value were actually released, they would definitely attract attention.

Yun Zhiyi shrugged. “From now on, the restaurant will be under your management. You can plan everything inside. You can choose a seat. In addition, we need to hire two more managers to oversee the warehouse, purchasing, and staff. We also need an accountant. As for the kitchen, Li Kui will serve as the head of the kitchen. You can handle the rest.”

Lu Jingyi was still struggling among the orchids.

He likes every kind of orchid, and it would be great if they could all be placed in his seat.

Yun Zhiyi was both amused and exasperated.

Unexpectedly, this attracted a cynical orchid lover.

She said, "If the restaurant's performance can triple within a month, you can pick out a potted orchid to take home."

Lu Jingyi suddenly turned his head, raised his fan and pointed at her, "It's a deal."

Yun Zhiyi smiled and nodded, "It's a deal."

After 9:00 AM, the people on the street suddenly heard the crackling sound of firecrackers.

When I came over after hearing the noise, I saw that Huifeng Restaurant, which had been closed for several days, was open again today.

This time, the signboard has been renamed; it's no longer called Huifeng Restaurant, but Weimanzhai.

"This restaurant has really been sold."

"They've changed their names, so it must be."

"I don't know who to sell it to."

"I've never heard of Wei Man Zhai before. It doesn't seem to be one of the restaurants in the city."

The onlookers were buzzing with discussion.

Then a gong was struck.

Then a refined-looking man walked out of the building and bowed to the crowd.

"Dear guests, today is the first day of the grand opening of Wei Man Zhai. We are offering a special half-price discount on our newest and most delicious dishes. Please come in and enjoy them."

As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter brought over an elegant wooden board and hung it on one side.

Red paper was pasted on the wooden board, listing the names of ten dishes in a flamboyant and elegant style.

They are Jade Abundance, Golden Swallow, Drunken Immortal Fish, Amber Honey Roasted Duck, Eight Treasures Nectar Soup, Crystal Pork, Pearl Jade Soup, Jade Tofu, Immortal Lake Vegetarian Dish, and Peach Garden Yellow Jade Mushroom.

Among them, Drunken Immortal Fish and Roasted Duck are traditional signature dishes, while the rest are new dishes that I have never seen before.

At this moment, all the doors outside the restaurant were opened.

Once the smoke from the firecrackers had cleared, everyone was finally able to see the scene inside the restaurant, and they couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

The main problem is that the kumquat tree in the very center is too eye-catching.

This is the first time I've ever seen someone grow such a big tree indoors.

But it can't be said that this is unlucky.

Kumquat trees are known as "treasure trees," and some larger buildings also keep some of them.

It's just not as big as this one.

Most importantly, the kumquats are now laden with fruit.

Its golden appearance is truly delightful to look at.

This did indeed attract some curious people to enter the hall.

Seeing the interior decoration of the restaurant was also refreshing.

I must say, this lush greenery really does bring a sense of peace and tranquility.

And that subtle, unique orchid fragrance is incredibly comforting.

Those who dare to step inside are all capable of spending money at the restaurant.

He immediately found a seat, beckoned a waiter, and began to inquire.

"Waiter, has your restaurant been sold to someone? Which company took over?"

The waiter just smiled and said, "Sir, our restaurant has not been transferred, and we don't know anything else."

The guest asked in surprise, "Who is your current employer?"

"Our boss's surname is Yun."

Several guests raised their eyebrows.

The surname Yun—isn't that the person who took over the Fu'an Princess's restaurant?

I really didn't resell it.

"What dishes would you gentlemen like to order? We have many new dishes today, would you like to try them?"

"Besides the ten dishes outside, do you have any other new things to offer?"

The person asking the question had dined at Huifeng Restaurant before and was relatively familiar with the situation there.

"Yes, that's right. Today, all customers who make a purchase will receive a complimentary serving of cheese. In addition, the tea is also a premium tea specially purchased by the owner, and it will be provided free of charge today as well."

Upon hearing this, the group was somewhat disappointed.

They weren't interested in the cheese, and they weren't short of money.

As for tea, who would actually bring out good tea for people to drink like gluttons? It's mostly just a gimmick.

"Alright, then bring us the Drunken Immortal Fish first." It's always safer to stick with the old brands.

"What is Yu Man Tang? Okay, could you introduce the rest of the dishes first?"

"Alright, Jade Hall is stir-fried with fresh golden-inlaid jade, and Golden Thread Jade Swallow is carefully selected squab..."

The waiter efficiently introduced the dishes.

The guests weren't too surprised to hear that there were many more vegetable dishes included.

It's springtime, so buying fresh vegetables shouldn't be difficult.

However, without a stable source of goods, the menu cannot be consistent, making it difficult to retain repeat customers.

Therefore, Hui Fung Restaurant used to prefer having fewer dishes rather than serving these seasonal vegetables.

At most, they'll serve some dishes with cabbage and radishes.

These two vegetables are the most common and can last for the whole season. You can also stock up and use them in the next season.

It seems the new owner was eager to succeed, which is why they launched so many vegetables on the first day.

As expected, they are amateurs. They will realize their mistake when the vegetable supply runs out and customers can't order the vegetables they want.
