"You few will stay in the rooms in the side hall. I will inform you of the specific tasks tomorrow. If I am not here, follow Mingxi's instructions."
"Yes, young master."
When Ye Xiruo returned to the main hall, she received Mingxi's bright eyes: "What's wrong? What's going on?"
"Thank you for trusting me so much, Young Master."
“You were the first one to follow me. I trust my master’s judgment and I also believe that my own judgment will not be wrong.”
"I was originally the young lady of a small family, with an older sister two years my senior. When I was sixteen, my family was wiped out. Those damned bandits attacked our home, killing everyone, not even the children, and then ransacked our treasury and library. My sister risked her life to save me. It was the Palace Master who saved me. Originally, my talent wouldn't have been enough to break through to the Golden Core stage, but it was all thanks to the Palace Master..."
"It's all in the past now. I believe you've already taken your revenge. Your people who died tragically must want you to live a good life and find your own happiness."
"Yes, after I formed my Golden Core, I killed them myself. Blood kept flowing at my feet, and my hands were covered in blood. At that moment, I lost my purpose in living. I even wanted to go down and accompany them."
"Did your master save you again?"
Mingxi nodded: "You're willing to die for a few scumbags? Aren't you afraid of upsetting your parents?"
"It really is Master's tone."
"I will not restrict your freedom. If you want to leave someday, I will definitely let you go."
"I won't leave the young master. It's hard to find someone with a stronger backer than you on the Taiyan Continent." Mingxi said with a mischievous smile.
"Then you'd better hold on tight." Ye Xiruo raised her chin, feigning pride.
"Chef Zhang from the kitchen requests an audience."
"Let him in! From now on, there's no need to announce anyone; just let people in directly."
"Yes, Young Master."
"These are some new pastries I made; I brought them here for you to try."
"You're so kind. If the taste is good, our restaurant can also serve it. But can you handle it all by yourself? Should we find a few more people?"
"Actually, I have another junior brother whose skills surpass mine, but for some reason, no one dares to take him on, so he has been in dire straits for many years. Although this request is excessive, I hope the young master can help him."
"Sure, let's go check it out another day." Just when you're about to fall asleep, someone brings you a pillow. Life couldn't be better.
"Then I'll go prepare lunch."
"Remember to make it a good feast, preferably with lots of meat." The three senior brothers all seemed to be carnivores.
"yes."
Mingxi made Ye Xiruo a cup of tea and then went downstairs to settle the newcomers.
Ye Xiruo gritted her teeth, holding a calligraphy brush in her hand, and began to write and draw. Soon, a snow-white sheet of paper was covered with various lines, which, upon closer inspection, revealed the decoration of a restaurant.
This calligraphy brush is really nice. In her previous life, Ye Xiruo was a young lady from a wealthy family and was proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Compared to other things that were just for show, Ye Xiruo had some interest in painting. Although she wasn't a professional, she had no problem with simple outlining, sketching, and drawing.
After spending half an hour, Ye Xiruo finished drawing a rough sketch of the decoration plan and put it aside. She was preparing to write a preliminary business plan and budget, and she would need to consult Hua Rong or the managers.
Having been here for so long, she still doesn't quite understand the spirit stone system of this world.
Upon taking a bite of the exquisite pastry that had just been served, Ye Xiruo exclaimed that it was absolutely delicious. It melted in her mouth, sweet but not cloying, and had the refreshing aroma of lychee.
In less than half an hour, Ye Xiruo finished eating five kinds of pastries, drank a cup of spiritual tea, and let out a burp. She was really stuffed.
"Junior Sister, I heard there are some new pastries. Where are they?"
Oh no, that's the senior brother's voice.
Oh no, how could it be so fast? We're already at the door. Ye Xiruo covered her face. Being caught eating alone is so embarrassing.
"Junior Sister, I'm coming in."
"Senior Brother, why are you here so early?"
"It was raining outside, so I came back early."
So, it was because of the rain, Ye Xiruo looked completely bewildered.
"There are no pastries, I'm busy with important matters in the study." Ye Xiruo was determined to deny it to the death.
Qingzhiyi fanned herself with her precious fan, her smile as warm and welcoming as ever.
Hua Rong's eyes were almost glued to the empty plate and cup, and Ye Xi Ruo blushed slightly.
"That's what I ate yesterday, Mingxi forgot to clean it up."
"Oh~~~" Zishu's meaningful monosyllable sent chills down Ye Xiruo's spine.
"Can you explain what happened to the pastry crumbs on your table? These weren't leftovers from yesterday, were they?!" Zishu's face was beyond dark; it looked like it was about to turn completely black.
Ye Xiruo covered her face and wept bitterly. This damn slip-up! If only she had known, she would have bravely admitted her mistake. Now, was she trying to dig a hole and bury herself? Aaaaaah!
"It's like this, Chef Zhang hasn't cooked for many years, and I don't know if his cooking skills have deteriorated. I was just worried that if it was too bad, it would spoil the fun for my three senior brothers, so I kindly tried to help them out."
"So, we should really thank our junior sister," Zishu gritted his teeth.
Ye Xiruo smiled shyly: "Actually, there's no need to thank me too much. It's my honor to go through fire and water for my senior brother."
Hua Rong has given up on reasoning with Ye Xiruo.
Ye Xiruo quickly took out her renovation drawings, showing them off like a treasure: "These are the renovation drawings I drew for the restaurant, what do you think!"
The restaurant has three floors. The first floor is the main hall. The second floor is a bit more upscale than the first, but it still doesn't have private rooms. What a joke! How could they have such despicable things as private rooms for eavesdropping? The third floor is for VIPs, with a total of twelve rooms, for entertaining the most elite guests.
He hasn't decided on the theme for the twelve VIP suites yet, but the decoration of the lobby and the second floor is almost finalized.
The first floor hall highlights the features of spiritual plants, cultivating gentle, harmless herbs that are pleasing to the eye and can purify the air. The second floor is divided into semi-open rooms using spiritual herbs, with rooms for two, four, six, and eight people.
"Very good." The basic structure of the light armor is already complete. The spiral staircase is incredibly beautiful, and the luminous lights and such are just too extravagant.
"That's great, but have you considered using spirit stones for those spiritual herbs and antique decorations, Junior Sister?"
Ye Xiruo waved his sleeves, brimming with pride: "Our restaurant targets cultivators of high taste, with spirit stones, and of high status. Moreover, I believe our spirit wine and dishes will win over their palates." (To be continued.)
