Chapter 167 Tianxianglou’s Plan
The duck skin is crispy and the duck meat is tender and melts in your mouth.
The rich juice has a light sweetness and a mellow and rich taste that leaves a lasting aftertaste.
Luo Xiao's eyes widened instantly, he whimpered twice, then raised a thumb and swallowed a pancake wrapped with duck meat in just a few bites.
The others were also ruthless. It seemed as if countless hands suddenly appeared on the table, dancing wildly, and in the blink of an eye, nothing was left.
Luo Xiao burped inelegantly and said, "Let's have roast duck tomorrow."
Luo Fu nodded frantically in agreement.
She had eaten the snack before, and although it was novel, she didn't like it very much.
Today's roast duck is really delicious.
"The meat is delicious, rich and juicy, a truly mouth-watering delicacy," Luo Huai commented. "If the recipes Mother receives are as delicious as this, then I believe our vision of becoming the world's number one restaurant will soon be realized."
…
Tianxiang Tower.
Looking at the bustling main hall, there were also the bustling discussions among the crowd.
Xu Changqin was very satisfied.
He walked through the dining room on the first floor and found his second uncle busy in the backyard.
"Second Uncle is truly amazing. I heard that Huaxianglou has seen a significant decrease in customers over the past two days, while our Tianxianglou's revenue has increased by 20%."
Shopkeeper Xu was checking the freshly brewed rice wine. Hearing this, he stood up with a smile and said, "This is Guancheng. No matter how powerful the Luo family is, it is a thing of the past. If we want to gain a foothold in Guancheng, humph!"
impossible!
Xu Changqin nodded in agreement. "But the people all say our food doesn't taste as good as Huaxianglou's. How about sending people to Huaxianglou to poach a few chefs? That would eliminate this problem completely."
Having said that, Shopkeeper Xu sighed and took his nephew back to the room.
The two men landed on the armchair, one in front and one behind.
"I tried it, but it didn't work. I don't know what kind of magic potion Huaxianglou has fed them, but they all refused Tianxianglou's invitation." Shopkeeper Xu took the teacup handed to him by his nephew and took a sip slowly. "But when Huaxianglou closes down, those people will naturally have nowhere to go. Then they will come to me for help!"
"Second Uncle is wise." Xu Changqin raised his thumb, "Then we just have to wait!"
Shopkeeper Xu smiled and stroked his beard: "Not bad!"
"However, I heard that the Chengfeng Building across the street was sold, but I don't know who bought it." Xu Changqin was talking about what happened yesterday.
Chengfeng Tower is a teahouse, three stories high, and is one of the rare sights in Guancheng.
Behind Chengfeng Tower, there is a river leading to Guanhe.
Most of the literati and poets in Guancheng gathered in Chengfeng Tower to hold poetry gatherings.
Their Tianxiang Tower and Chengfeng Tower stand opposite each other, and have been affected by each other's attention. If Chengfeng Tower is closed, Tianxiang Tower will inevitably suffer some losses.
"Go and find out the identity of the buyer and find a way to buy Chengfeng Tower." Manager Xu ordered. If the other party didn't open a teahouse, they could open one. If the manager of Chengfeng Tower had not had considerable influence in the capital city, they would have taken him down long ago.
The timing is just right now.
Xu Changqin immediately laughed: "Second Uncle, I have already sent people to investigate."
…
Wen Baolu was surprised when he heard what Zhao Jin said: "You said that Shopkeeper Xu of Tianxiang Tower wants to buy Chengfeng Tower?"
Zhao Jin crossed his legs and said nonchalantly, "Yes, Brother Wen, do you want to sell it?"
"Haha." Wen Baolu couldn't help laughing. This opponent found him and wanted to buy the Chengfeng Tower that he had bought with great difficulty. If he told this to others, he would laugh his teeth off.
"Are you... okay?" Zhao Jin frowned. "The Xu family has now found me. If you're scared, I can ask the old man to come forward."
Wen Baolu coughed lightly twice, but the joy in his eyes could not be concealed. "I'm sorry to have worried Brother Zhao, but Chengfeng Tower was purchased by me on behalf of someone else."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jin immediately became interested: "Who is it?"
Wen Baolu didn't want to say more. He smiled and asked him to drink tea: "You will know in a few days."
…
At the same time.
Jiang Feng pushed Luo Tingshan to the door of Huaxiang Building.
"Master, this is it."
The third young master’s newly opened restaurant!
Luo Tingshan looked at the three large characters on the door plaque. The writing was smooth and powerful. It was his father's handwriting!
The two of them came to the main hall, and Jiang Feng said to the waiter:
"Go to the second floor."
The man looked at the man in the wheelchair with pity and asked, "Do you need some help?"
Jiang Feng said calmly: "No need, lead the way."
In the private room on the second floor.
Jiang Feng put Luo Tingshan on the wheelchair, and then asked the waiter to serve all the food in the restaurant.
While waiting, Luo Tingshan looked at the people coming in and out of the restaurant, and a faint smile appeared under his cold mask.
It seems that everyone has grown up after this experience!
"How are those children these days?" He turned to Jiang Feng and asked.
Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment, then relieved.
That’s right, the master must have noticed it a long time ago.
"The eldest son is still the same, often slacking off. The third son, on the other hand, has managed to stick to it every day, and the fourth daughter has gone from a quarter of an hour to two quarters of an hour, and has even learned some tricks."
Jiang Feng recounted their performance over the past few days, finally focusing on Luo Huai: "The Second Young Master has been holding back a lot of anger and has been practicing martial arts diligently every day. His moves have become increasingly fierce and powerful."
"The young men and women have performed very well and have made great progress."
Luo Tingshan was not surprised to see several boys practicing martial arts.
I didn't expect Xiaofu also learned martial arts.
Zhu's behavior in recent days made him more and more confused.
"Sir, the dishes are all here, please enjoy!" The waiter in the shop shouted and left, but the voice had already awakened Luo Tingshan who was lost in thought.
Looking at the various foods on the table, only a few were brought back by Jiang Feng before.
It's not that he had never been to Guancheng before, but he had never seen these foods.
So, these also come from Luo’s house.
"If I remember correctly, the food you brought back from Luo's house before was all made by the Zhu family?" Luo Tingshan looked up at Jiang Feng.
"My Lord, even if Madam didn't cook the meal herself, she directed the cooks in the mansion to do it."
Jiang Feng's original intention was to say a few words on behalf of his wife.
After these few days of contact, I always feel that the lady is not the kind of person who cannot distinguish right from wrong and is disloyal to her own people.
Luo Tingshan didn't say anything. Instead, he picked up his chopsticks and began to taste the food one by one. The taste was indeed somewhat similar to what Jiang Feng had brought back before.
After a while, the chopsticks fell.
He was about to say something when there was a noise outside the door.
Luo Tingshan's ears moved slightly, and he turned his wheelchair to the door, opened a gap and saw the scene outside.
Luo Xiao had a very sour face and a look of disgust, and he asked someone to kick him out.
The man who was angry was facing them sideways, revealing his thin profile. His moon-white robe made him look extraordinary.
Instead, it made Luo Xiao look very intolerant, which made the guests who were dining around him point and talk about something.
