Chapter 76 Finding faults

Jiang Shu was slightly stunned, not understanding what Yu Zheng meant by asking.

Seeing her bewildered face, Yu Zheng put down his wine glass and said, "Why are you giving me wine? Do you give wine to everyone who comes to Cuiyunlou to taste the food?"

Yu Zheng stared at her lazily, his hand placed beside the wine glass, his index and middle fingers casually tapping the table, making a low sound.

Jiang Shu subconsciously looked at Yu Zheng's hand and saw that his fingers were slender and well-defined, like exquisite works of art. Her

almond eyes flashed, and Jiang Shu said in a clear voice, "No, I only give wine to the prince."

"Oh, why do you give wine to me?" Yu Zheng was interested and had to ask clearly.

Jiang Shu took a deep breath and said while pouring wine: "Thank you for saving me, and thank you for giving me the jade cicada."

Yu Zheng's dark eyes moved slightly when he heard this: "How can the two things be mixed up?"

"Hmm" Jiang Shu was completely confused and couldn't keep up with Yu Zheng's thoughts.

Yu Zheng looked at her confused and helpless look, his heart itched a little, his throat rolled unbearably, and he picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

After the wine went down his throat, Yu Zheng said what he was thinking under the influence of alcohol: "I can only thank you once for today's wine, and I will thank you for the rest next time."

Jiang Shu blinked, and never thought that Yu Zheng meant this.

Could it be that he likes to accept thank-you gifts

? What a strange habit.

Yu Zheng felt a little uncomfortable when she stared at him, and picked up the chopsticks to pretend to eat the food.

Seeing this, Jiang Shu hurriedly poured the wine and said softly, "Although osmanthus wine is good, drinking too much is harmful to the body. Your Majesty should eat more food. I will not disturb you."

After saying this, Jiang Shu stood up and bowed to leave.

Yu Zheng did not stay, and he could not find a reason.

Yu Yuan was so happy that he forgot about the north when he saw his friends. When he remembered Yu Zheng, Yu Zheng had already left.

He stamped his feet in annoyance and blamed the waiter, "Why didn't you call me?"

The waiter looked innocent: "You didn't tell me either."

"Pig brain." Yu Yuan cursed angrily.

The waiter was full of grievances, but he didn't dare to say it.

In the evening, Jiang Shu returned to Jiang's house from Cuiyun Tower and brought back two food boxes.

"Dad, Mom, and brother, please try it and see how it tastes."

In order to cater to the tastes of previous customers of Cuiyunlou, Jiang Shu retained the previous chef and divided the cuisine with Zhong Yue, each in charge of half.

The dishes in these two food boxes were made by Zhong Yue and the previous chef.

The three of them tasted them carefully, and Jiang Ning's eyes lit up after eating a dish.

"This one is delicious, this one is also delicious, they are all delicious."

Jiang Shu poked Jiang Ning's forehead in annoyance, asking him to eat slower.

Father and Mother Jiang tasted every dish and said objectively: "They are all good, but I prefer these dishes, they are spicy and refreshing."

Mother Jiang drank a sip of soup: "I don't like spicy food, I like light taste, these dishes are very suitable for my appetite."

Jiang Ning swallowed the dish in his mouth and said: "The spicy ones are tasty, and the light ones are fresh and delicious. I like them all."

"Greedy cat." Mother Jiang laughed and scolded, and the family had a happy meal.

After dinner, while drinking tea, Father Jiang asked Jiang Shu: "Cuiyunlou will open soon, is everything ready?"

Father Jiang wanted to help, but Jiang Shu insisted on doing it himself and didn't let him interfere, so Father Jiang never went.

"Tong, the shopkeeper, didn't take anything away. There are not many things to prepare, and they have been arranged."

Jiang Shu felt warm all over when the hot tea went down his throat.

Jiang Ning said excitedly, "Sister, the academy is closed on the day of the opening, so I will bring my classmates to support you."

"Then you have to go early, otherwise you can only watch others eat."

"Won't you reserve a private room for me?"

"Shangjing is full of nobles, and I can't keep them even if I want to."

Jiang Shu's words were true, and Jiang's father couldn't help but worry, "Cuiyunlou is a piece of fat meat, and many people are jealous. I'm afraid someone will cause trouble when it opens,

so you have to be careful." Jiang Shu comforted him, "Don't worry, Dad, with Prince Yu here, anyone who dares to cause trouble will be courting death."

Yu Yuan is of noble status, but he has no official position, so he doesn't need to think twice before doing things, and can do whatever he wants.

Looking around Shangjing, there are few people that Yu Yuan dare not touch.

Jiang's father has also heard of Yu Yuan's fierce reputation, so he is a little relieved.

The wind was howling coldly, the New Year was approaching, and Shangjing was getting more and more lively.

On the day when Cuiyunlou opened, there was a constant stream of people at the door, and the seats in the building were all occupied.

Firstly, Cuiyunlou was already famous. Secondly, Yu Yuan had many friends, and half of the private rooms were occupied by people who came to support him.

The waiter kept shuttling between the lobby and the stair kitchen, and the shopkeeper was counting accounts and fiddling with the abacus, leaving behind a shadow.

Yu Yuan was greeting people in the front hall, and Jiang Shu was supervising in the back kitchen.

Seeing the endless stream of guests coming in and out, Yu Yuan seemed to see silver raining from the sky, and he couldn't stop smiling.

"Prince Yu, are there any private rooms left?" Fang Mingxu led a few people in.

Yu Yuan's smile disappeared in an instant, and he said, "No more, they are all full."

He added, "The first and second floors are also full."

Fang Mingxu felt a little regretful, and looked up to see a group of people coming down from the third floor. The waiter shouted, "Free up a private room."

"It seems that we are lucky." Fang Mingxu smiled.

It is unreasonable to chase away customers when opening a door for business. Yu Yuan could only watch Fang Mingxu and his friends go upstairs.

He grabbed the waiter who was passing by and whispered a few words to him.

The waiter looked embarrassed after hearing this: "This is not good."

"What are you talking about? Hurry up." Yu Yuan kicked the waiter dissatisfiedly.

The waiter had no choice but to bite the bullet and go.

"What would you like to eat?" the waiter asked with a big smile.

Fang Mingxu looked at the others and asked them to order first.

They looked at each other and asked, "Cuiyunlou has changed its owner. Has the chef and dishes changed?"

The waiter said respectfully, "The previous chefs and dishes are all here, but we have hired a new chef and added many new dishes. You can try them."

"Oh, tell me what new dishes we have."

The waiter followed Yu Yuan's instructions and only reported the expensive dishes, not the common dishes.

"Dongpo pork elbow, five-flavor roasted chicken, flower-cooked quail, geese stewed tripe, smoked goose, crab and tofu..."

Fang Mingxu and his friends were dizzy after hearing this. They couldn't remember what they tasted like, so they simply said, "Serve all your signature dishes."

"Yes." The waiter agreed and asked, "What kind of wine would you like to drink?"

"We have mulberry wine, Xinfeng wine, chrysanthemum wine, osmanthus aged wine..." "

Okay, give me a pot of each." Someone interrupted.

Drinking wine in winter can drive away the cold, and one pot per person is not much.

"Okay, guests, please wait a moment, it will be here soon." The waiter retreated with a guilty conscience.

This table will cost at least one or two hundred taels, and Prince Yu is too ruthless.

Yu Yuan was waiting downstairs, and when he saw the waiter coming down, he immediately asked: "How is it?"

The waiter nodded: "They asked to serve all the expensive dishes."

"Then why don't you hurry up."

Yu Yuan was in a good mood, thinking that the seats were full, he decided to go upstairs to have a drink with his friends.

However, as soon as he walked up to the second floor, there was a movement in the lobby on the first floor.

"How is this dish cooked? There is actually a rat tail! The meat inside is not rat meat, right? Call your shopkeeper!"

The angry questioning attracted the attention of the diners around. They all looked at the dishes on the table in suspicion and dared not pick up their chopsticks.
