"Princess, if you need anything, just give the order. There's no need to do it yourself. This kitchen is full of smoke and the smell of cooking oil."
Bai Suzhen tried to persuade Li Youran to personally cook the hot pot broth, but Li Youran refused.
"Autumn is just around the corner, and hot pot will be very popular. I'm thinking of improving the hot pot broth before the restaurant reopens, so that business will be better."
