Upon hearing Chunhua's question, Cao Xian blushed immediately and retorted sharply.
"I, I didn't! I was just looking around! Come on, let's get a room and go to the outhouse!"
Chunhua: "Miss, do you need to pee?"
Cao Xian glared at her fiercely: "Are you as stupid as my brother? What do you mean by 'I need to pee'? How could I do something so low? I'm going to expose their lies!"
"There's no way a toilet could smell good!"
However, after ten minutes, Cao Xian fell into self-doubt.
"How is that possible? How could there possibly be a toilet that smells good in this world!"
"And what exactly is going on with this flushing design? How did they manage to do it?!"
Cao Xian listened to the rushing sound of the toilet flushing, looking completely dazed.
Chunhua, however, was standing at the entrance of the outhouse, engrossed in playing with the soap.
"Wow, this cilantro smells amazing! It smells even better than the one you bought before, Miss! I heard that the Liang family specially developed this new fragrance for the inn!"
"I initially thought their guesthouse was overpriced! But the environment and quality are really amazing!"
After saying that, she turned her head to ask Cao Xian.
"Miss, aren't you right? Isn't this really amazing!"
Cao Xian: "..." Ahhhhhh, she can't take it anymore! How could she have such a stupid brother and maid?!
Cao Xian felt like she was about to go crazy with anger.
Even so, under such circumstances, she couldn't deny this fact, because the Liang family had truly perfected this inn.
Even though she was very reluctant, she still nodded and pouted.
"They did a pretty good job with the latrines, but..."
She quickly started finding fault again: "But whether a place can truly attract customers depends on the food! If the food doesn't taste good, then no matter how good the other places are, it's useless!"
Chunhua: "Young Master has always praised the Liang family's food as delicious, so the taste must be excellent."
Cao Xian snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "You know how gluttonous my brother is. Anything that's even remotely acceptable becomes a delicacy in his mouth!"
"Hmph, I don't believe it can taste good if my idiot brother falls in love with it. I'm going to try that hot pot today and see what it's all about!"
"Hot pot, that name sounds weird, it must taste terrible!"
Fifteen minutes later.
Cao Xian and Chunhua sat in front of the hot pot, eating with great enthusiasm.
It was Cao Xian, in particular.
"Quickly, quick, bring me another plate of tripe!"
"And goose intestines, goose intestines are especially delicious!"
"Oh no! The cilantro and beef I just cooked is gone! Chunhua, did you take some and eat it? I told you, if you want some, cook it yourself, don't steal my food!"
Chunhua looked completely innocent.
"Miss, I didn't steal your food. You just got addicted to it and ate it all without realizing it."
As she spoke, Chunhua couldn't help but sigh.
"Miss, you were just talking about the young master, but you yourself eat just as much! I bet you eat even more than the young master!"
"What?! You actually dare to say I eat more than that pig?!"
Cao Xian was immediately embarrassed by what was said.
She realized that she had indeed gone a bit too far today, so she put down her chopsticks and pretended to be displeased.
"Hmph, I only ate more because I was hungry. Actually, this hot pot isn't tasty at all!"
Chunhua: "Really, Miss!?"
Cao Xian: "Yes! I've never eaten anything this bad before!"
Sam-soon has turned sixteen this year.
At that age, in modern times, he would still be a high school student.
However, in ancient times, she was already of marriageable age, and Sam-soon was intelligent, precocious, and cautious in her actions.
So Wan Shu handed over the management of the inn and restaurant to San Shun. She would only come to check on them occasionally, while San Shun would come over several times a day.
This time, as soon as Sam-soon arrived, she heard someone shout.
"Yes! I've never eaten anything this awful!"
Sam-soon has great confidence in the taste of the hot pot invented by her mother.
He believes that there is no one in the world who doesn't love hot pot.
But his mother taught him that everyone has different tastes and habits; what is honey to one is poison to another.
Moreover, in business, one must listen to opinions and never be complacent.
So Sam-soon immediately followed the sound and went over to ask, "Miss, may I ask what part of the flavor you find unpalatable?"
"Don't worry, I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to know if there was anything that could be changed."
Oops, she was talking nonsense and someone overheard her!
And judging from what they're saying, it seems they're from the Liang family!
Cao Xian felt a pang of guilt, but as the saying goes, one should never lose face! Even if she was in the wrong, she absolutely could not admit it.
Cao Xian mentally prepared herself, turned around, and was originally about to make a scene.
But all of this came to an abrupt end the moment she saw Sam-soon's face clearly.
She stared blankly at Sam-soon's face, feeling her heart pounding, unable to utter a word.
Sam-soon asked, puzzled, "Miss, what's wrong?"
Chunhua was also puzzled.
However, under Cao Xian's tutelage, she also understood the principle of not losing face even when losing a fight, and immediately put her hands on her hips: "Hmph, what's wrong with our young lady? What's it to you? Don't you know it's because your family's hot pot is too awful that our young lady is being fed it..."
"Chunhua, what nonsense are you spouting? Shut up!"
Before Chunhua could finish speaking, Cao Xian quickly interrupted her.
She blushed and looked at Sam-soon with a hint of panic.
"You, you don't need to mind what I just said. The hot pot was delicious. I was just joking with my maid."
Hearing this, Sam-soon breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "That's good, as long as it suits your taste."
He noticed that Cao Xian was dressed in an extraordinary manner, and with a humble attitude, he took the opportunity to ask her questions.
"We heard that you also booked a superior room, Miss. Is there anything you find objectionable about our inn or restaurant? We would like to make improvements as much as possible."
"No, there's nothing I'm dissatisfied with."
Cao Xian, abandoning her previous critical attitude, blushed and said shyly, "Whether it's the inn or the restaurant, you've done an excellent job, and there's more..."
Cao Xian glanced at San Shun's face again, and said meaningfully, "The flowers in your Qingshui Village are really beautiful, they've left me speechless..."
San Shun was stunned by Cao Xian's gaze, and for some reason, her face suddenly turned a little red.
Chunhua, standing to the side, seemed to have finally understood something and secretly smiled to herself.
Hehehe, it seems that their young lady's life-long happiness is finally settled!
