Chapter 32: Banquet for the Craftsmen
After meeting Qin Huanyan, Zhai Lou no longer had anything to worry about.
Pu Qiongzhi prepared a lot of luggage for them and personally saw them off from Beijing.
I don’t know when we will meet next time.
Zhai Lou stood at the bow of the boat and looked at Pu Qiongzhi who was getting farther and farther away.
This time, he will definitely do something big in the sequel, and come back in glory!
"Prince..." A foreign man stood behind him.
Zhai Lou turned around, his expression icy, "Tell everyone not to alarm the Pu family's people."
…
After sending Zhai Lou away from Beijing.
Pu Qiongzhi hosted a banquet for Nangong Xue and his brothers in Ruilou.
"Sister-in-law! Although I have heard of the name of your Ruilou, I have never been here in person."
"It's okay. It's not too late to come today. This Ruilou won't run away." Pu Qiongzhi joked with a smile, and said to the craftsmen behind him, "We should have invited everyone here earlier! It's just that I went to Jiangnan and was delayed for so long!"
"You are so polite! We all know what's going on in the Jiangnan area! It's understandable!"
"Yeah, yeah, it was just talk, but I didn't expect the honorable lady to actually invite us! This is really eye-opening!"
"I heard that only officials and noble families can come to this place, so we are lucky! There were so many people gathered here recently, and if we bumped into anyone, we wouldn't be able to afford it!"
Pu Qiongzhi listened to everyone talking and tried to comfort herself.
These are all honest and hardworking craftsmen.
Their skills are vital, yet unappreciated in this world.
This is the high-rise building they built, so how can there not be a corner for them?
"I will host the banquet for you all. You are all my distinguished guests. If anything goes wrong, I will be held responsible."
"Everyone, don't worry, this is our territory!"
She motioned them not to be so reserved.
Nangong Xue felt warm in her heart when she heard her say this.
He knew that his sister-in-law was different from those people outside, and his second brother had good vision!
…
During this period, Ruilou's business gradually returned to stability.
The last few dishes were ordered by all the nobles and dignitaries in the capital, but now only a few gourmets patronize the restaurant.
Although the imperial city is full of powerful people, they cannot travel all the way to Ruilou for meals every day.
What's more, Ruilou currently does not provide meal delivery service, and those dishes cannot be taken away.
Today, Ruilou is still innovating according to the pace planned by Pu Qiongzhi.
Almost every two weeks, a new signature dish is launched, as well as other corresponding cuisines.
Most of them are cooked in accordance with the season, mainly for the freshness of the ingredients.
As for the rest of the dishes, Pu’s family has a whole transportation team and can supply them.
However, such dishes are somewhat wasteful, so they are only available in limited quantities.
Food lovers in Beijing would definitely be happy to come here every day.
The chefs at Ruilou are truly exceptional, and their dishes are diverse and varied.
Princess Roujia is a regular customer here.
Except for buying some clothes and jewelry, most of her monthly allowance was thrown into Ruilou.
However, after not seeing her for just over a month, she had become much rounder and fuller.
Pu Qiongzhi led a group of people up to Ruilou, and was seen by Ding Momo by chance.
"Mrs. Wen Shu! I haven't seen you for a few days. How come you are as thin as a chicken?" She was still as arrogant as ever and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
"The princess has a rosy complexion and a round and square face, looking like a blessed person." Pu Qiongzhi responded.
The maid beside her was already stunned.
No matter how many times our princess has suffered at the hands of others, she still doesn't learn her lesson and keeps charging forward.
Eat, eat. It is a blessing to suffer losses and it is a blessing to be able to eat.
The princess is blessed with many things.
Pu Qiongzhi signaled Nangong Xue to take everyone in and sit down first.
Everyone looked around worriedly, wondering what kind of conflict this girl had with Gongren.
However, Nangong Xue knew that Princess Roujia was no match for her sister-in-law.
He waved his hand, "Brothers, let's go in first and don't get stuck here."
"It's nothing, don't worry!"
After hearing him say this, everyone followed him.
"Have you heard that Pei Wanqing is now the Princess of Jiaoyang County!" She glanced sideways. "The talent show is coming soon, and with all this hype at this time, the Pei family is truly like a phoenix flying out of the sky!"
"The princess used to be good friends with the Princess Jiaoyang, so there's nothing to worry about." Pu Qiongzhi didn't say anything else.
Ding Momo snorted coldly, "That was in the past! I always feel that there is something fishy about this matter!"
"She was clearly not good at poetry and literature before, but suddenly she was able to compose poetry, and every line was a masterpiece that would last forever. Overnight, she became the most talented woman in the capital."
"Yes, that was when she came to my side..."
"This is also the case. I've never heard of anyone in the Pei family knowing anything about medicine. How could Pei Wanqing cure the plague just by flipping through a book?"
The more she talked, the more she felt there was something strange about it, but she really couldn't figure out what it was.
"Anyway, if someone like her were allowed to gain power, it would be too unjust! She hates you so much, she will definitely not let you off easily!"
"In short, you'd better hurry up and think of a solution!" Ding Momo said, raising her chin and giving orders.
Pu Qiongzhi laughed. This girl is still like this.
She couldn't stand Pei Wanqing, so she dared to come to her and instruct her to get rid of her.
This is the first time I've seen someone using someone else's knife to kill someone and still shouting so confidently!
"I brought a new chef from the south. His bean curd sticks are very unique. If you're late, you won't be able to catch up!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ding Momo's face showed panic, "Well, anyway, hurry up and do it!"

"I'm going upstairs to eat first. I'm starving!"
Looking at her anxious back, Pu Qiongzhi chuckled softly.
She stood at the stairs, listening to people coming and going talking about the popular Princess Jiaoyang.
…
When she went to Nangong Xue's side, everyone hadn't started eating yet and was waiting for her.
"I'm really sorry, I met an old friend and was delayed for a while." She walked in quickly.
"You really don't have to wait for me. These dishes won't taste good if they get cold!"
Pu Qiongzhi invited everyone to start eating.
Seeing that this gentle and respectful lady was not arrogant at all, everyone relaxed.
Pu Qiongzhi specially asked everyone about their tastes before choosing today's dishes, and everyone likes them very much.
The chopsticks kept moving back and forth, and everyone had a satisfied look on their faces.
"As expected of Kyoto's number one restaurant, this is so delicious!"
"Yeah! This is my favorite. I don't know what kind of meat it is, but it smells so good!"
"I'll be able to brag about eating here for the rest of my life when I return to the village! It's really a great place to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks with Han Suzi! Hehe..."
Nangong Xue listened to their discussion and cursed with a smile, "What a waste!"
He had known these people for a long time.
However, his family has never liked these things, and it is difficult for him to tell outsiders about his job given his identity.
He remembers all the hardships his brothers have endured during the years they have followed him.
He once swore that he would build a top-notch building in his lifetime so that his brothers could live a good life.
Now, thanks to the convenience brought by his sister-in-law, he can invite his brothers to this place for a meal, and everyone can be so satisfied. It really makes him feel that he owes a lot over the years and feels ashamed.
