"That's true." Qi Mo also nodded in agreement. "Then let's eat here. You should also try out the culinary skills of the chefs here." Qi Mo asked me tentatively.
"Fine." I indicated that I had no objections, and Qi Mo brought me into a good private room.
Xia Shui had already been sent back to the Duke Palaces, I was too lazy to go back so I might as well finish breakfast here. After we entered, the shopkeeper came personally to receive us. He served us tea and some seeds, and then asked us what we wanted to eat.
"Qi Mo, you don't have any menus here, so how did you order your dishes?" I was curious when I saw the shopkeeper come in without holding anything in his hand.
"Nope." Qi Mo was surprised for a moment before he replied.
"It looks like I can add this to my plan. I want to try the most famous dish in your restaurant. " I'll talk to Qi Mo.
"Just listen to him. Bring out all the signature dishes in the restaurant." Qi Mo instructed the shopkeeper.
The head storekeeper's eyes seemed to float onto my body as he sized me up in his heart. He must be curious about who I am, so I directly looked him in the eye and revealed a sweet smile to him. The head storekeeper awkwardly withdrew his probing gaze and went down to prepare.
"This shopkeeper of yours is shrewd, that eye of yours is really cunning." After the shopkeeper left and closed the door, I spoke to Qi Mo.
"Is that so? This shopkeeper used to be the manager of the mansion, but when I started to expand my business, he came out to help me manage it. It was all thanks to him that I was able to open my restaurant up till now." Qi Mo agreed with what I said.
"The scenery here is not bad. You can even see the street. It is a pretty good viewing platform." I stood at the window and looked down at the busy street.
"Of course, this place is coveted by a lot of people. I spent a lot of effort to get it from the CIA. After thinking about it, I built this restaurant." Qi Mo said proudly.
"When I get back, I'll give you the blueprint for the restaurant, and you can get someone to make it. When you're done, I'll give you the recipe, and then we can open our store. We'll definitely have a lot of money in our pockets, and just thinking about it makes me happy." I lay on the windowsill with a face full of yearning, fantasizing about the grand occasion that would happen after my restaurant opened. I fell into my own beautiful imagination and was unable to extricate myself.
"Dong, dong, dong." A knock at the door brought me back to reality.
A few waiters came in with plates in their hands. They placed each dish neatly on the table before pushing it out. I looked at the dishes on the table and said, "There's too much. Only the two of us can't finish it. It's too wasteful." I said with some pity.
"It's fine, I can afford this amount of silver." Qi Mo thought that I was worried about the money and patted his chest.
"Can you pack it up here? I'll bring it back for the girls in my yard to have a taste. They must be hungry to death."
"Sure." Qi Mo laughed and said, "Your little girls all have the same personality as you do, and they eat much better than the other girls."
"That's right, that's right. Let's not see who brought him out." I agreed without hesitation.
"You fish are a little lacking." I took a bite of fish and commented.
"That's for sure. This fish can't be compared with the grilled fish you made." Qi Mo also nodded.
"What is this?" I ate one of the dishes with a question mark on its face.
"Red Braised Lion's Head." Qi Mo looked at her as he replied.
"This taste is not real enough. It seems like this ingredient needs to be refined."
"This one." I tasted every single dish and memorized every single one that I was unsatisfied. After that, I put down my chopsticks and sampled a little of the food, feeling full as well. Qi Mo ate very little, and it didn't seem very appetizing.
"It's getting late, I need to go back and cook for Bai Jing." "I looked outside and saw that it was time for breakfast." Why are you cooking for Bai Jing? Is the palace's chef no longer around? " Qi Mo asked.
"No, I promised Bai Jing that I would cook every meal for him. Today is my first day of fulfilling my promise, so I can't go back on my word. Otherwise, if he isn't happy and doesn't let me set up a restaurant, I won't be able to pay for it." I explained.
Qi Mo's eyes dimmed a little, as if something was on his mind. I looked at him and asked, "What's wrong, why do you look so pale?"
"It's fine. You can go back. Tomorrow, I will come to the King's Manor to find you. You should get your blueprints ready as soon as possible." Qi Mo didn't say, he only asked me to return.
When I went out, Xia Shui had already come looking for me, "Miss." Xia Shui ran over with a happy expression.
Qi Mo and I waved our hands in farewell. Qi Mo had already adapted to my wave of farewell ceremony and would even wave at me. Xia Shui took the food that I packed for them from a servant at the side with a face full of joy.
When I walked out of the restaurant, I discovered that the carriage belonging to the Wang Residence was parked outside the restaurant. I looked at Xia Shui suspiciously, "Miss, I also met the Prince at the entrance, he found out that the Young Miss had the carriage driver waiting inside. Xia Shui urged me to get on the carriage.
I was afraid that I would disturb him, so I didn't say anything and just looked at him quietly. This place was actually very close to the palace, and we arrived very quickly, only when Bai Jing opened his eyes did they reveal the haziness behind our eyes, but they were completely clear.
"I'll send you your breakfast later." I said something to Bai Jing before I got out of the carriage and jumped out. Then, she pulled Xia Shui and quickly ran back to her own courtyard.
"Miss, you've angered the Prince again." Xia Shui gasped for breath as she looked at me in confusion.
"No, how could I have the ability to make the prince angry that day?" I smiled. "I just wanted to come back and cook for him first, so that he would look better when I brought him back. Right now, it's very stressful to face him." I gasped. "Have you done what I told you?"
"Miss, the ingredients you requested are ready."
"That's good," I nodded. I had long ago told Xia Shui to come back and prepare the ingredients.
That day, I actually found a pineapple in the ice storehouse in the Duke Palaces. It seemed that it was given to me by some unknown country and was extremely precious, but Bai Jing didn't really like it. It had always been there, so I let Xia Shui take it out just in time to bring it over for me to cook.
