His culinary skills were outstanding; the dishes he made according to the recipes were incredibly delicious, and the moment the aroma wafted out, the entire hall erupted in excitement.
"It smells so good, waiter! What's this delicious treat?" The waiter was asked several times in a row, so he hurriedly went in to report to the manager.
Upon hearing the reactions of the crowd, the shopkeeper's smile widened even further.
"Good, good, good." He said "good" three times in a row, and his attitude toward Ning Hongze became more and more gentle.
He even bought Ning Hongze's three recipes without haggling and personally escorted her to the door.
"If you come up with a better prescription in the future, please give us priority. Junyue Mansion will definitely not treat you unfairly."
"No problem, no problem."
Their attitude alone is enough to make him choose to come back next time.
Although there was some regret that none of those snobbish and contemptuous scenes occurred, it must be said that such an attitude was indeed very pleasant, and it's no wonder that the Junyue Restaurant is doing so well.
Ning Hong was completely satisfied, and the manager of Junyue Restaurant was also very pleased.
Today, a distinguished guest happened to be dining at the restaurant. Upon smelling the delicious aroma, he sent someone over to inquire. After a moment's thought, the manager sent over all the food prepared by Ning Hongze.
The group ate to their heart's content, which made the shopkeeper's eyes crinkle with delight.
These are all important figures; satisfying them is definitely his biggest gain today.
Jiang Cha, the behind-the-scenes owner of Junyue Restaurant, gave the manager a special shout-out.
"You did a great job today."
"It's all thanks to the young master Ning. Although the chefs in the building have all learned these recipes, none of them can cook them as well as the young master Ning."
"I see." I heard that this young man is not very old, but I didn't expect him to have such skills. It's really surprising.
“Miss, if we could use such a talent, our restaurant business would surely reach new heights.”
Unfortunately, it seems that this young man from the Ning family doesn't want to be a chef.
"Everyone has their own ambitions. Since he has no interest in this, we cannot force him."
However, I was still somewhat disappointed.
This Grand Hyatt Restaurant was left to her by her mother, and naturally she hoped to take it to the next level. These recipes were sufficient.
Unfortunately, none of the chefs in the restaurant can compare to this young man from the Ning family. I wonder how he developed his culinary skills; I must have the restaurant's chefs learn from him sometime.
Carrying three hundred taels of silver notes, Ning Hong went straight to the gambling den to pay off Ning Qingfeng's debts.
"You said you're here to pay back the money?" The gambling den manager's brow twitched. "Ning Qingfeng's?"
"That's right. As far as I know, Ning Qingfeng borrowed a total of eighty taels of silver from you. Even with compound interest, two hundred taels should be enough to pay you back."
He figured a month would be about right.
"this……"
The steward looked troubled.
"What? Your gambling den won't even let people pay back their money!" Ning Hong suddenly raised her voice. "It was only eighty taels, I'll give you two hundred taels back, and it hasn't even been a month, aren't you satisfied?"
As soon as the voice rose, everyone in the gambling den looked over. Two men dressed in brocade robes smiled contemptuously, their tone casual. "Old Yu, that's not right of you. I remember the interest rate in gambling dens isn't this high. Eighty taels of silver, in less than a month, at most you'll only need to get back about one hundred and twenty taels. You think two hundred taels isn't enough? No wonder they're angry."
"Don't take advantage of your young master's absence to swindle people," another gentleman in brocade robes added.
"Gentlemen, you may not know this, but the main problem is that this IOU is not in my possession; it was taken away by the young master."
Steward Yu looked troubled. The young master had said he would teach Ning Qingfeng a lesson, and it was not something he, as a mere steward, could decide.
"Your young master? Then find your young master, and I'll speak to him myself."
"My young master has gone to Weihe Village."
"What?" Ning Hongze's expression changed immediately upon hearing Steward Yu's words, and she felt a vague unease in her heart. "He went to Weihe Village?" Ning Hongze grabbed Steward Yu and lifted him up with one hand.
Manager Yu was pulled so hard he almost passed out. "Young Master, we must make Ning Qingfeng pay back the money." He stammered as he finished speaking, and Ning Hong loosened her grip and threw him down.
He turned around and left the gambling den, where he bought a horse from a horse dealer next door.
He originally wanted to buy an ox to plow the fields; farmers preferred oxen to horses.
But it's too late now; he has to get home as soon as possible.
Ning Hong paid the money, mounted her horse, and rode out of the house slowly. In the city, it was clearly stipulated that one was not allowed to ride a horse at full gallop or trample on others. Ning Hong patiently rode her horse out of the house.
Only then did it begin to speed up.
Having at least been a master rider, his horsemanship wouldn't be this good if he hadn't gone to a martial arts world. It's even better than before.
Ning Hong rode his horse back home quickly. As soon as he arrived, he saw someone shouting insults at Ning Qingfeng.
"Ning Qingfeng, I'm telling you, you're not allowed to leave the house again, and you're absolutely forbidden from bothering Qing'er." A man dressed in white silk pointed at Ning Qingfeng's nose and cursed.
"I never intended to bother Wei Qing; she came to me herself." This shameless woman always slanders him like this. He'd like to know, however, when he actually bothered her.
"Wei Qing will come looking for you? Are you kidding me? How could such an outstanding woman like Wei Qing be interested in you? Don't flatter yourself."
The young master of the gambling den sat in the Ning family's courtyard, looking calm and collected, but his words were rather unpleasant.
"Of course I'm not just being presumptuous; she always comes to me, not the other way around." And every time, she's the one asking for something.
Ning Qingfeng was very open-minded. Money isn't easy to earn in this world, but women are plentiful.
He wouldn't be so eager for Wei Qing.
Now that he has broken off the engagement, he should let go of this woman. He used to think she liked him, so naturally he had to work hard for her. But now, he realizes it was all just manipulation.
He naturally wanted to discard her like trash, putting her out of his mind.
"You really don't like Wei Qing?" the young master of the gambling den asked hesitantly.
It's unbelievable that there are actually people in this world who don't like Wei Qing.
"I really don't like her." After what happened a few days ago, he not only disliked her, but even felt somewhat repulsed by her.
