Yun Xiangye took Xiao Nuonuo's hand and returned to the private room. After about a quarter of an hour, the waiter started serving the dishes.
Yun Xiangye looked at the dishes in front of her and said, "Why are these dishes so rare? Doesn't this boiled chicken cost three taels of silver? Three taels of silver only buys this small half chicken?"
Yun Xiangye looked at the small, delicate chicken on the plate in front of her. Three taels of silver were enough to buy five or six chickens, but this small plate of chicken probably only took up a quarter of a chicken.
The waiter said, "The people who come to our restaurant are all rich and powerful, not the kind who work hard at the docks. Our dishes here are about quality and taste, not the more the better..."
Yun Xiangye frowned slightly, "These dignitaries aren't fools. Their money doesn't just come from the wind. Only corrupt officials and profiteers would dare to spend so much. No wonder this restaurant's business is so lukewarm."
The waiter took a look at Yun Xiangye's clothes and jewelry and said coldly, "Who are you? This Linlang Restaurant is owned by Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Gu Jingyu frowned and said, "You are so rude, waiter. Do you know that this person is the new owner of Linlang Restaurant?"
The waiter scoffed, "The new owner of the Linlang Restaurant? You dare to lie like that? Let me tell you the truth, my aunt was the wet nurse of the daughter of the Duke of Wei. The eldest daughter of the Wei family will sooner or later become the eldest princess's daughter-in-law. The accountant currently managing the Linlang Restaurant is my cousin, the eldest daughter's wet brother. The owner of the Linlang Restaurant will sooner or later be my cousin's."
Yun Xiangye frowned slightly when she heard what the waiter said. Wei Xi's hand was quite deep, and he had even planted people at Linlang Restaurant.
I think Wei Xi really regarded herself as Gu Yan's future wife, which is why she placed her own people in Linlang Restaurant.
Yun Xiangye originally wanted to make some achievements in Linlang Restaurant to let Gu Yan know that he was just looking down on others, but now the people he arranged were Wei Xi's people, and it would be a bit troublesome to manage the restaurant now.
