Bei Yutang stood in front of the door, looking up at the three large gold-plated characters above his head: "Tianxiang Tower"!
As soon as she walked in, the waiters from Tianxianglou, dressed in neat uniforms, stood at the door to welcome her.
"Welcome."
If someone comes to Tianxiang Tower for the first time, they will definitely be shocked by the grandeur and feel a unique feeling.
A pretty woman stepped forward and said, "Are you Madam Mu? Miss Gu is already waiting in the private room on the second floor."
Bei Yutang followed her directly to the second floor. As they went upstairs, the person standing at the stairs observing Bei Yutang turned around and returned to the box.
A moment later, the door of the box was pushed open again.
"Ms. Gu, Madam Mu is here."
"Serve the food."
"yes."
Gu Pianran was the only one in the box.
"Madam Mu, long time no see." Gu Pianran stood up.
Bei Yutang sat down opposite her and asked directly, "Ms. Gu specially invited me here today. What secret do you want to share with me?"
"There's no rush for this. It won't be too late to discuss it after the dishes are served."
Gu Pianran poured her a cup of tea. "This is Tianshan's Cold Mist Tea. It's very suitable for women's taste. Try it."
Bei Yutang took a sip gracefully, "Not bad. I've heard of this Cold Mist Tea for a long time, and today, thanks to Miss Gu, I'm able to drink the tribute tea."
"If Madam Mu wants anything, it's just a matter of a word. It's just that Madam Mu is not a person who indulges in luxury and pleasure, so she doesn't pursue these things." Gu Pianran drank tea slowly, watching her every move out of the corner of his eyes.
The dishes were served quickly. They were all good things made with high-quality ingredients, such as bear paws and deer antlers. It was obvious that they had been prepared early.
"Let me introduce these dishes to you. This one is called Buddha Jumps Over the Wall," said Gu Pianran.
When he said that name, his eyes never left Bei Yutang's face, as if he wanted to see something from her face.
It’s a pity that Bei Yutang’s expression was indifferent, without any fluctuations.
"This dish is called Dongpo Pork."
There is no such person as Su Dongpo in this world.
"Isn't it just a dish of braised pork? Why is it called Dongpo Pork?" Bei Yutang asked with a smile.
Gu Pianran frowned slightly. Did she really not know, or was she pretending not to know?
"Because this meat was created by a man named Su Dongpo, it is called Dongpo pork."
"I see."
Bei Yutang picked up a piece of meat. The meat was crystal clear and it was obvious that a lot of effort had been put into its preparation.
"It tastes delicious. I've heard that the dishes at Tianxianglou are comparable to imperial banquets. After eating here today, I felt the trip was worthwhile."
Next, Gu Pianran read out the names of the dishes one by one, and there was no sign of anything unusual.
Bei Yutang had almost finished eating and put down his bowl and chopsticks.
"Miss Gu, we're almost done with our meal. It's time to get down to business. I wonder what you want to talk to me about today? I heard from your maid that you know a huge secret of mine. What is it?"
Bei Yutang looked at her curiously, with a look of longing.
Gu Pianran had been trying for so long but hadn't gotten anything out of her, so she went straight to the point, "Mu Zhitao, you're not from this world, right?"
"What? What did you say?"
"Don't pretend. The measures you implemented in the disaster area were not something an ignorant woman or child like you could have come up with, nor were they something people in this world could have come up with. Advanced thinking is not a product of this era."
