"Indeed, the decorations are quite unique."
Yun Yishu nodded. A silk umbrella was set up at the entrance of the restaurant, which was a nice decoration. This made the restaurant noticeable even from a distance. On both sides of the door were small bamboo figures, which were very cute and pleasing. In the middle were wooden tea sets and tables and chairs.
"Third Brother!"
Hearing the voice, the group turned around and saw Yun Duoduo.
Seeing that Yun Duoduo was smiling and showed no signs of sadness, Yun Yishu felt relieved.
"Where are Ziwan and Pin'er?" Yun Yishu asked the stone behind Yun Duoduo.
“I sent someone to inform them; they’re probably on their way,” Stone replied.
As they were talking, Liao Ziwan and Chu Dunshi walked over gracefully with smiles in their eyes.
Seeing Liao Ziwan and Chu Dunshi holding hands, Yun Yishu teased, "Oh my, no wonder you're a couple, holding hands like that, you don't want to let go for even a moment?"
Upon hearing Yun Yishu's words, Ziwan blushed and lowered her head. Chu Dunshi smiled at her, and the group walked into the restaurant and sat down near the lotus pond.
Just as I sat down, I suddenly heard Kang Qiming's voice, "Excuse me, is anyone here...?"
"Here I am!" Su Buqing poked his head out and shouted, "Brother Kang, come here!"
"Hey, Brother Su!"
Hearing Su Buqing's voice and seeing Su Buqing waving at him, Kang Qiming quickly walked over and greeted each of the people sitting at the table.
"By the way, Brother Shang Yan said he has important business to attend to and won't be able to come. He'll treat us to a meal another day."
After he finished speaking, Kang Qiming noticed that Liao Ziwan and Chu Dunshi were gazing at each other with deep affection.
"Oh, Sister Ziwan, shouldn't you start calling me sister-in-law now?"
Upon hearing this, Liao Ziwan's face flushed red.
"Stop talking, Ziwan is shy." Chu Dunshi said with a smile as he poured Kang Qiming a cup of tea.
Seeing that Liao Ziwan was a little embarrassed, Yun Duoduo quickly changed the subject. She looked around and said, "This restaurant is really unique. It's called Cai Xiang Ge. Does that mean they only sell vegetarian dishes?"
"Sir, you are absolutely right. All the dishes in our restaurant are vegetarian, and they are all wild vegetables, which are very fresh."
The group turned to look at the speaker, who was a dark-skinned, sturdy girl of about nineteen years old.
"Wow, I was right."
Yun Duoduo said with a smile.
"I'd like to recommend our signature dish to you all. These wild vegetables were all picked by me and the staff from the mountains ourselves, and they have a very unique flavor." The girl spoke in a loud and clear voice.
Looking at the girl, Yun Duoduo realized that she was not as delicate as most girls in the capital. It turned out that she often went up the mountain to pick vegetables, and the girl's figure looked very sturdy.
"We have fresh purple seaweed today. It can be stir-fried or made into a hot pot. This purple seaweed has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and it can also clear heat and detoxify," the girl introduced.
"Then let's have a bowl of piping hot purple seaweed," Yun Duoduo said.
"I'll have a bowl too," Liao Ziwan chimed in.
"There are also mulberry leaf buds, which can be used to make sesame salad. Mulberry leaf buds have the effects of dispelling wind-heat, clearing the lungs and moisturizing dryness."
"Then let's have a plate of cold sesame mulberry leaf sprouts," Yun Duoduo said, quite curious about the taste of these wild vegetables.
"Our restaurant also offers stir-fried spinach with garlic, stir-fried eggs with fennel sprouts, fennel dumplings, and stir-fried cabbage."
“Okay, one of each of these is fine,” Yun Yishu said.
"What would you like some staple food? Wild vegetable pancakes?"
"Alright, put up all the signs here, and adjust the portion sizes according to the number of people in our group," Yun Yishu said.
"Alright, I've got it all. Please wait a moment, gentlemen, the soup, dishes, and rice will be ready shortly!"
"My surname is He. Feel free to contact me anytime if you have any questions."
After all the dishes were served, the group first drank a few sips of the hot soup, and then began to eat the vegetables and dumplings.
"Mmm, delicious. These dumplings are really good. I didn't expect this restaurant to be so small, but the food is so good." Chu Dunshi nodded in praise.
"Third Brother, do you want to buy this restaurant?" Yun Duoduo tried several dishes in succession, and they all tasted very good.
To her, these wild vegetables could all be considered medicinal cuisine, but to be able to make medicinal cuisine so delicious, she was probably unique in the capital.
These dishes taste great and are also nourishing and good for your health, which is a great selling point.
Yun Yishu looked at Yun Duoduo; he had the same thought.
“Since we all think it’s delicious, this restaurant is bound to become popular in the future. If it becomes popular, it means it can make money. Why don’t we buy it?”
"But the shopkeeper might not be willing to sell," Song Yuanbao asked with some doubt.
How would we know if we didn't ask?
“Miss He!” Kang Qiming called out.
"Coming!" Miss He jogged over. "What can I do for you, sir?"
"Miss He, are you in charge of this shop?"
"The one in charge? I am indeed in charge of the affairs of this shop, but how did the outsider find out?" Miss He asked in confusion.
“I think you look very similar to the old woman who collects money at the door. You also mentioned that you personally picked wild vegetables and that you are very attentive to the customers in the shop. I guess you must be the owner of this shop.”
"A good eye for things."
"Hmm, the name 'Fragrant Vegetable Pavilion' is quite original. Did you come up with it?" Yun Yishu asked her.
“Of course,” Miss He replied.
"Miss He, please forgive my bluntness, but would you be willing to sell this restaurant to us?" Yun Yishu asked.
Ms. He looked troubled. "This is my first time opening a shop, and I want to run it well."
"This is all my hard work."
"Yes, I understand. Opening a store is like carrying a child for ten months and giving birth; it involves feelings."
"Would you be willing to partner with us to expand this restaurant, or open several branches?"
Miss He was taken aback. "Really?"
She hesitated before asking, "Are you willing to invest in opening a restaurant with me?"
Yun Yishu nodded.
"Are you willing?" Yun Yishu asked again when Miss He did not answer.
"I, I, I, I do!" Miss He clapped her hands and cheered.
“Okay, then think about it and discuss it with your parents. We’ll go back and draft a charter and contract, and then we can open a restaurant together.”
As Yun Yishu spoke, he gestured for Miss He to sit down in the empty seat next to him, and the group began to discuss matters related to the restaurant.
"That's wonderful!"
“When the restaurant first opened, it might not have much of a reputation, but we can make a name for ourselves by offering delivery services,” Yun Duoduo said enthusiastically.
"Delivery?" The group looked at Yun Duoduo with a puzzled expression.
"Yes, it's takeout."
"If our guests want anything to eat, they can place an order with us, and we'll send someone to deliver it."
