Xu Yuehuai decided to revitalize Tianxianglou and restore it to its former glory. She believed that with dedicated management, Tianxianglou could once again become a culinary legend in the capital.
As night deepened, Xu Yuehuai and his group finished their dinner amidst laughter and chatter. They left Tianxiang Restaurant and stepped into the night.
However, Xu Yuehuai's determination, like the lights in the night, will never be extinguished.
As night fell, Xu Yuehuai returned to Tianxiang Tower silently. She was dressed in a plain-colored dress, her temperament elegant, yet exuding an undeniable air of authority.
When the waiter saw her return, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. He quickly stepped forward and asked, "Miss, did you forget something here?"
Xu Yuehuai said calmly, "Take me to your kitchen."
The waiter glanced at the busy shopkeeper, who nodded slightly, and then led Xu Yuehuai to the kitchen.
Inside the kitchen, the stove was burning brightly, and the air was thick with fumes.
The head chef was directing his team of chefs when he saw the waiter bring in a strange woman. He frowned and said, "Why did you bring an outsider? Don't you know we don't allow outsiders in here?"
The waiter quickly explained, "This is a distinguished guest; she has done our Tianxiang Restaurant a great favor today."
The head chef snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "What does that have to do with me? Take them away right now, don't make me say it again."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai raised an eyebrow. She was not angry, but merely glanced at the head chef and said softly, "I didn't expect the chefs in Dongsang Kingdom to be so arrogant."
Upon hearing this, the head chef flew into a rage. He pointed at Xu Yuehuai's nose and yelled, "You little brat, stop your babbling and get out of here!"
Xu Yuehuai remained unmoved, coldly staring back at the head chef: "What if I said you were the one leaving?"
The head chef was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "That's ridiculous! Who do you think you are? Daring to cause trouble at our Tianxiang Restaurant? Get this person out of here right now!"
Seeing this, the waiter looked troubled. He glanced at Xu Yuehuai, then at the aggressive head chef, and didn't know what to do.
Just then, Xu Yuehuai took out a token from his bosom. The token was engraved with the two characters "Heyue" and shone brightly.
She held the token up to the head chef, her voice icy cold: "Throw this head chef out now."
Upon seeing this, the waiter was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He never expected that this seemingly ordinary woman was actually the renowned Princess Heyue, who was famous throughout the four kingdoms!
The head chef was also stunned. He stared at the two characters "He Yue" on the token, his face turning deathly pale. He knelt down with a thud, kowtowing repeatedly, saying, "Please! I was just saying that in anger, please don't take it to heart."
Xu Yuehuai sneered, looking at the head chef kneeling on the ground with a hint of disdain in her eyes: "Heh, someone like you probably bullied others in the past. Tianxiang Restaurant is not suitable for you. You'd better leave with dignity."
Upon hearing this, the head chef's face turned pale and then red. He gritted his teeth, stood up from the ground, glared fiercely at Xu Yuehuai, and said, "Fine! You're going to kick me out today, but don't come crying to me for my return another day!" With that, he tore his clothes to shreds and strode out of the kitchen.
Xu Yuehuai watched his departing figure, a cold smile playing on her lips. She turned to the waiter and said, "Have someone keep a close eye on him, and write down his every move."
The waiter nodded hurriedly in agreement, a sense of awe and respect for Xu Yuehuai welling up within him. This Princess Heyue was not only beautiful and intelligent, but also decisive in her methods, truly admirable.
The upheaval at Tianxianglou went unnoticed by outsiders, and Xu Yuehuai's reorganization had only just begun.
Xu Yuehuai, this noble princess, was standing at the entrance to the kitchen, her gaze sweeping over the busy chefs. Her eyes settled on a chef who looked rather honest, his hands busily stirring the dishes in the wok, his face showing a focused expression.
Xu Yuehuai stepped forward and said, "I see that you have good skills and are honest and reliable. From now on, you will be the new head chef of Tianxiang Restaurant."
Upon hearing this, Chef Wu nearly dropped his spatula. He looked up at Xu Yuehuai, his eyes filled with surprise and gratitude: "Thank you for your promotion, Princess. I will do my utmost to live up to your expectations."
Xu Yuehua nodded slightly, then turned to the waiter beside her. Her voice became low and serious: "Don't let anyone else know about your visit today. It's a matter of great importance. If it leaks out, Tianxianglou will cease to exist."
Upon hearing this, the waiter's expression hardened, and he quickly assured her, "Princess, rest assured, I will keep my mouth shut and will not divulge a single word."
Xu Yuehua nodded in satisfaction, then took out a thick stack of recipes from her sleeve and handed them to Chef Wu: "These are recipes I have carefully collected. Take a good look at them first. If there is anything you don't understand, ask me when I come back next time."
Chef Wu took the menu, his eyes gleaming with excitement: "With these menus, the reputation of our Tianxiang Restaurant will surely reach new heights!"
The other chefs also gathered around, curiously flipping through these precious recipes, their faces beaming with joy.
Xu Yuehuai didn't linger there; she turned and walked towards the backyard. Passing through a series of corridors, she arrived at the Ghost Doctor's residence.
The Ghost Doctor was sitting in the courtyard, and his complexion looked much better than before.
Xu Yuehuai stepped forward and asked with concern, "Your complexion looks better than ever. Is your health improving?"
The Ghost Doctor smiled and said, "Yes, this is all thanks to the herbs that Brother Lu Li brought back earlier."
Xu Yuehua felt somewhat relieved after hearing this, but then she thought of Lu Li again: "Is there any new news from Lu Li's side?"
The Ghost Doctor shook his head and sighed, "No news has come back yet. I think something might have happened to Aze. Princess, you must be careful."
Xu Yuehuai frowned. "Yes, I'm also worried about Aze. I need to resolve things here as soon as possible and then go find him."
Seeing Xu Yuehuai's serious expression, the Ghost Doctor comforted her, "Don't worry too much. Your health is the most important thing. I see you haven't been resting well lately. I'll prescribe some medicine for you later so you can take good care of yourself."
"Thank you so much, Ghost Doctor," Xu Yuehuai said gratefully.
Just then, a figure hurried over; it was Yan Qing. He walked up to Xu Yuehuai and said with a solemn expression, "Your Highness, you've come at the right time! I've just investigated some things."
Seeing Yan Qing's nervousness, Xu Yuehuai knew that the matter was of great importance: "What is it? Tell me quickly!"
Yan Qing took a deep breath and said, "The people from the Four Kingdoms Slaughter have recently gathered at a blacksmith shop in the west of the city. They seem to be plotting something, and we must be careful."
