Wei could naturally hear it, and although she was angry in her heart, she did not show it on her face.
Wei Mingyue didn't understand. She thought, isn't this cousin's wife quite easy to talk to? Why did her aunt make her sound like a fierce tigress?
I wanted to say a few sour words to test her, but when I saw Xie Wanyun's cold eyes, I felt a little guilty.
Xie Wanyun has always been a person who does not offend others unless they offend him.
So, the two of them chatted politely for a while, and then Xie Wanyun said goodbye and went back to his room.
Wei pretended to urge her to stay, saying, "Wanyun, why don't you have dinner in my room before going back? Even though it's nothing delicious, it's convenient."
Xie Wanyun smiled and said, "Thank you, ma'am. I'll go back to my room to eat. Enjoy your meal."
After coming out of the courtyard, she suddenly didn't want to go back to Nong Yu Hall, so she went directly to Chen Tower. The last time she came to Chen Tower was to inquire about Zheng Tong.
A few days ago, the owner of Chenlou sent her the names of several new dishes in the restaurant, so she came to try them today.
It was dinner time, and carriages were parked in front of Chenlou. The three floors of the restaurant were filled with customers. The waiters were running up and down like they were on a hot wheel, greeting the guests attentively.
Seeing that business was so good, Xie Wanyun was naturally happy. The shopkeeper was busy as a hustle and bustle when he saw the boss coming. He quickly put down his work and rushed over to greet him.
"Boss, I just thought of this today. I'm going to try the dishes that were delivered a few days ago."
"Okay, I'll prepare it right away. But one of the dishes, duck wrapped in shark fin, is not only time-consuming but also requires expensive ingredients, so we have to accept reservations first before we can start preparing," explained the shopkeeper.
"It's okay. You can pick up a few quick dishes first, like duck wrapped in shark fin. You can prepare it slowly. I'm not in a hurry." Xie Wanyun looked at the menu in his hand.
"Osmanthus duck, lion's head, Taibai chicken, roasted mandarin fish..." She raised her head and said to the shopkeeper, "They are all Huaiyang dishes, and they are also everyday ingredients. Is there anything special about them?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Madam, you may not know that although the ingredients are not new, the chef we recently hired is a master from Jiangnan Misty Rain Tower. Customers who have tasted his skills are full of praise. A few days ago, due to some rumors, business was much slower in the restaurant. But since Chef Li came, these famous Huaiyang dishes have been served, and customers have flocked to the restaurant! The dignitaries in Shangjing City have tasted all kinds of delicious food. They just want to eat something new and exquisite."
Xie Wanyun smiled slightly, that's indeed the case.
Huaiyang cuisine is known for its delicacy, which just meets the needs of the nobility in their pursuit of high quality and refined life.
Since the opening of sea transportation, sea cucumbers, shark fins, abalone and squid from the south have also been brought into Shangjing City, attracting wealthy people to come and try them.
Xie Wanyun had already made preparations, hiring chefs from the south to work at Chenlou, which quickly gained popularity. If you wanted to dine here, you had to make a reservation in advance; otherwise, even at mealtime, it would be hard to find a table.
This not only did not scare away diners, but instead raised the profile of Chenlou. For prominent families or businessmen to discuss business, Chenlou was the first choice. Both the inviters and the invited felt proud.
The shopkeeper had asked the waiter to prepare the food early, and soon, several exquisite dishes were served.
The osmanthus duck has snow-white and delicate meat. When it is served on the table, it is filled with the sweet fragrance of osmanthus, without any smell of duck.
The meatballs of Lion's Head are red, tender and chewy, with chopped shrimp and fruit pieces inside, which are fresh, sweet and crispy.
Taibai chicken and grilled mandarin fish also have their own characteristics.
Xie Wanyun tasted each dish and nodded frequently.
The last dish to arrive was the duck wrapped in shark's fin. As soon as the lid was opened, a burst of rich aroma filled the air.
