32 Chapter 32 Taste the Deliciousness
◎The taste of Yunhe◎
"Yes... yes! That's what I'm used to. Mr. Yun really understands me better, hahahaha!"
Jiang Jingmo nodded his head immediately after hearing Yun He's words, and at the same time continued Yun He's topic and said:
"Miss Su, it's getting late. Why don't you go to Chunfeng Brushlan first? Don't worry about me. I'm in the barracks, I can do everything, such as lighting the fire, cooking, washing clothes, and chopping wood. If you leave me alone in Yuqing Courtyard, I'll have more free time. I won't starve to death, don't worry."
Seeing Jiang Jingmo's firm attitude, Yu Liu didn't want to persuade him any further and just let Jiang Jingmo do as he pleased.
Anyway, even if she couldn't follow the "vine" of Jiang Jingmo today, she wouldn't rush to achieve success immediately. After all, there was still a long way to go.
Now that she knew the villain's name clearly, she believed that if she took the land deed from Chunfeng Buluan and inquired about it under the pretext of collecting rent, she would be able to gain a lot.
–––
When Yuliu took Yunhe and Fangyue to the restaurant for dinner, they went directly to the Tianzi guest room. The private room was a separate room with curtains drawn, and pine, bamboo and bonsai were scattered around it, making the scenery elegant and unique.
Yuliu sat in the main seat.
On her left was Fangyue, who was looking around with her round almond eyes wide open, finding everything curious, while on her right was Yunhe, who was even more calm and composed in comparison. He lifted his robe and calmly sat down, without looking around, blending in naturally, as if he was very familiar with this place. As soon as he sat down, he took the small wine pot warmed on the stove as if he was familiar with it, and poured a cup of steaming spring tea for Yuliu with skillful and natural movements.
After Yuliu sat down, she supported her head with the back of her right hand, slightly tilted her head, and looked into the distance at the wooden sign hanging on the opposite wall with a pair of shiny iron nails.
The wooden plaques were made into a square shape with the length and width of a palm. The beech wood was light brown in color. The plaques were carefully hand-carved with small characters of hairpin flowers. They were laid out at appropriate intervals, almost covering the entire wall.
From a distance, at first glance, it looks like an antique stone stele.
However, after Yuliu carefully examined it for a while, he found that the characters engraved in small calligraphy on the beech wood plaque were not famous inscriptions or calligraphy works, but rather the names of elegant meals and dishes. However, a part of the characters in the center was specially outlined with the dye of western brocade red, which made it more conspicuous.
As soon as Yuliu and his group entered, the maid had been waiting at the edge of the wooden signboard with well-trained manners. Seeing the girl at the main seat pause for a moment on the wooden signboard, she immediately realized that this young and beautiful girl was visiting the restaurant for the first time. Immediately, she introduced the restaurant in a sweet and familiar voice:
"Those red wooden plaques are engraved with the famous delicacies of our restaurant. If you're worried about being overwhelmed by the variety, just pick a few from here. I guarantee you'll have a delicious and satisfying meal today!"
After hearing this, Yuliu glanced over the wooden plaques. She saw that the names engraved on the plaques were indeed all about exquisite and precious dishes such as "Golden Silkworm Tripe Soup," "Glazed Crab Roe Crystal Purse," and "Donghua Jade Plate Pickled Boar." She didn't waste any more time on being picky. She smiled faintly, nodded at the maid, and said naturally, "Thank you very much. Bring us a portion of each."
When the maid heard this, the enthusiastic smile in her eyes gradually showed some surprise.
Although there are endless people coming to Chunfengshualan every day to taste the delicious food, the "uniqueness" of a restaurant lies in the quality rather than the quantity. Every dish is worth a lot of money, and the top-grade delicious food outlined in red letters is especially precious. Even merchants who have made a small profit from trade and come here for the reputation would not dare to say such generous words as "one for each of you" in the tone of "a cup of hot tea" like this girl.
Seeing Yuliu speak so calmly and boldly, which was rare even for a young man from an aristocratic family, the maid was afraid that this little girl must be a pampered girl who was raised in the deep courtyard of the backyard. She didn't have much to eat and naturally didn't know how expensive firewood and salt were. She didn't know the prices in the market when she occasionally went out of the house.
But the maid was a little worried, wondering if she had misheard. So, with a hint of hesitation in her sweet voice, she carefully confirmed again, "Miss, are you sure this is a top-grade delicacy... Would you like one of each?"
Yuliu shook her head: "No, please wait a moment."
When the maid saw that Yuliu did not agree, she felt relieved and secretly looked at the three people at the table.
She saw that the maid next to her seemed to be the girl's maid. As a maid, she probably didn't have much money in her pocket. Not to mention a table of food, she probably couldn't even afford a piece of fabric in Shengyun Pavilion.
As for the young man next to her, although he had a face as handsome as Pan An, a prince of the royal family, his eyes had never left the beautiful girl since he sat at this table. His movements of pouring tea and serving water were very skillful. It seemed that he was someone who had been accompanying the beauty for a long time.
As for what identity he was accompanying her with...
The maid had only heard vaguely about the stories of noble ladies secretly keeping lovers and entertaining their boudoirs with actors, but she didn't dare to speculate too much. She just sighed inwardly with some relief:
Fortunately, she had asked an extra question just now. Otherwise, if the banquet was over and the little girl sitting at the main seat couldn't afford the monthly reward, and if things got out of hand during the reckoning, the usually high-and-mighty Miss would lose face in front of the servants, wouldn't she be in big trouble?!
Yuliu didn't care what the maid was thinking. She paused just to take the hot tea that Yunhe handed to her and moisten her throat.
After all, she hadn't had any tea for almost a whole day and night, and after traveling in the carriage all the way and talking a few more words just now, it was inevitable that her throat felt dry.
Yuliu lowered her head and took a sip. The fragrance of the hot tea entered her throat, and the discomfort in her throat was immediately relieved. She squinted her eyes comfortably, and suddenly felt her mind cleared up.
Yuliu then tilted her head and smiled at Yunhe in gratitude. She looked up at the wooden sign for the menu, licking the tea stains off her lips with her red lips. She quickly scanned the menu and ordered a few dishes: "One plate each of marinated shrimp, roasted pork belly with skewered wine, and crispy crystal fish, plus a gourd of reed wine."
"Okay, do you three only need three dishes and one drink?" The maid smiled and nodded, then expertly recommended some inexpensive side dishes that would complement the meal. "Excuse me, would you also like some fruit and vegetable snacks after the meal?"
"...Hmm?" Yuliu's gaze moved to the maid's extremely exaggerated and polite fake smile and paused for a moment. After a little thought, he knew that the maid had a wrong mind.
But Yuliu only raised his eyebrows slightly. Far from being angry, he smiled with every inch of his smile just right and replied in a friendly and gentle voice, "No, regarding the things you just ordered, please ask Chunfeng Fulan to ask an errand boy to deliver them to Yuqingyuan in Liuxiang, East Street as soon as possible, to a certain Mr. Jiang."
Of course, Yuliu would not just leave like that. She was not so cruel as to let Jiang Jingmo stay alone in Yuqingyuan to fend for himself after all his hard work. So, she had specially prepared some wine and meat dishes according to Jiang Jingmo's taste and asked someone to send them to Yuqingyuan for Jiang Jingmo.
But the maid was dazzled by the crescent moon-like smile of the willow tree, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. The politeness on her face stiffened a little. Feeling a little awkward, her mind suddenly became a little dull and she asked in a daze, "Oh... So, are you here to buy it for that Lord Jiang?"
After these words were spoken, Yuliu did not react in a hurry or annoyance. Instead, Fangyue, who had been sitting aside and watching the strange thing, frowned tightly, turned her head and stared at the maid who had little eyesight with displeasure, as if she wanted to say something.
However, Yuliu raised her hand slightly to stop Fangyue in time, and at the same time slowly untied the sachet, took out the Spring Breeze Deed from the sachet, and slowly spread it on the empty Dalbergia odorifera wood table where no dish had been served yet.
The four characters "Spring Breeze Blows the Railings" written in black ink on the white paper with a red seal are particularly eye-catching.
When the maid saw the thing that Yuliu placed lightly on the table, the smile that she had just barely maintained suddenly cracked, and her eyes when she looked at Yuliu were suddenly filled with panic.
She had been at the Spring Breeze Folding Rail for so long that she would definitely not mistake the unique tooth marks of "Spring Breeze Folding Rail".
Who on earth is this young lady, and how did she get the title deed to the land?!
The maid's face flushed with fear.
Oh my God! What kind of attitude did she have towards this young lady just now?
The maid couldn't smile, but her face was still full of spring breeze and warmth. She smiled softly and asked, "Do you still think I'm here to buy for you? Aren't you going to ask me anything more?"
The maid was in tears and her broken smile was squeezed into a crying face. She was panicked.
You know, most of the nobles who come to Chunfeng Fulan Restaurant have some tempers. She was so careless that she offended such a noble. She had committed the biggest taboo among the taboos. She begged for mercy with a trembling voice:
"No, I dare not. It's all my fault for not recognizing the great man before. I was so blind to his thoughts that I offended him. Of course, he can do whatever he wants..."
Compared to the maid who was panicking and almost crying, Yuliu's smile remained unchanged. Her words were as gushing as a mountain spring. She said slowly and calmly, "Don't be afraid. I won't do anything to you. That's good. It's just..."
"After the banquet, I would like to meet your host, who is so kind. This is a sudden matter, so please inform me in advance, okay?"
Seeing that Yuliu was not going to beat or scold her too much, the maid was naturally grateful and nodded in agreement.
Even though she was not close enough to see the elusive boss behind Chunfengsuluan, she wanted to turn around and ask the owner of the teahouse and restaurant to upload the notice on her behalf.
"Wait a moment." Yuliu saw the maid's urgency, but said calmly, "There's no rush. Please wait a moment. We need to add a few more dishes."
Elm and Willow have their own considerations.
This restaurant is located in Xiao Country, so naturally many dishes are spicy. Fang Yue is originally from Xiao Country, so she is not afraid of spicy food, so it suits her taste.
Jiang Jingmo has been stationed on the border for a long time, and his taste has been trained to be somewhat unrestrained. As long as he is given a table full of good wine and good meat, he will naturally eat and drink well.
But Yunhe's taste...
The elms and willows don’t know yet.
【Author’s words】
When I read this chapter, I suddenly remembered the advance collection of the book "Substitute Marriage Escape". In fact, the original name was "The Substitute Only Wants to Eat, Drink and Have Fun". Food is the most important thing for people~
Note 1: The best food in restaurants is quality, not quantity = the plates are big but the servings are small. Ordering one portion each from Yu and Liu is not a waste of food, but a fear of not having enough to eat.
Note 2: The errand runner = the delivery man. There were indeed delivery men in ancient times, but it seems that there were none in top-level places, so the author made up a name for it. [This article is fictional! Highlight!]
