Chapter 51: Investigation

"Everyone, please start eating. The food won't taste as good when it's cold," Xiao Qingyang noticed Long Jingze's expression and said with a smile.

Little Long still had a fondness for human food.

Xiao Qingyang still remembered the astonished expression on Little Long's face when he first fed him human food. Back then, Little Long was just a young hatchling, not yet in his humanoid form.

The old butler wasn't too keen on serving these two strangers food. After all, he had prepared it diligently for the young master. How could he let outsiders benefit from it?

But the young master seemed to like these two people, and even if the old butler didn't like it, he had to comply with the young master's wishes.

Luo Haoyu, like Long Jingze, had experienced all kinds of delicacies on the Imperial Capital Star. However, when he tasted the food here, he was amazed.

"It's so delicious. Are these really dishes made from natural ingredients?" Luo Haoyu's eyes displayed a great sense of astonishment. If he could eat such delicacies every day, he would rather stay here and not leave.

Who would have thought that such exquisite cuisine could be made on a remote and abandoned planet in the empire? Even on the Imperial Capital Star, this level of culinary skill would be top-notch.

"These dishes were all made by Grandpa Du," Xiao Qingyang said with a smile. He was happy that someone appreciated these dishes.

Luo Haoyu generously gave a thumbs-up to the old butler and said, "Grandpa Du, your culinary skills would be top-notch even on the Imperial Capital Star. It's such a waste to be here. I wonder if Grandpa Du has any plans to develop on the Imperial Capital Star?"

Finally, Luo Haoyu's words caught the old butler's attention. In fact, he had thought about it before.

He knew how delicious these dishes were and their market value on the Imperial Capital Star.

All these recipes were provided by the young master, and before that, his cooking skills were just ordinary. It was mainly the young master's recipes that were impressive.

Now that the young master was going back to the Imperial Capital Star for school, he had to go with him. Opening a restaurant might be a good choice. It could help the young master earn his tuition and establish a foothold on the Imperial Capital Star. However...

Although he didn't eat out often, he was aware of the skill level of chefs on the Imperial Capital Star. At least the young master's recipes were not available in any restaurant there. Once they were introduced, they would undoubtedly be popular, but they would also attract unwanted attention and trouble.

If they didn't have enough capability to protect these recipes, they would bring disaster instead of wealth.

If they could return to the Imperial Capital Star and allow the young master to establish himself there without relying on the Xiao family, the old butler would naturally be willing. But the premise was that they had enough self-protection ability or a powerful backing.

With these thoughts in mind, the old butler's gaze fell upon Luo Haoyu and Long Jingze.

The reason why the old butler was reluctant to let them approach earlier was partly because he was afraid they were sent by the Xiao family, and partly because both of them exuded a noble aura that indicated they were not ordinary individuals. Having too much contact with them could potentially bring trouble.

If their identities were truly extraordinary and reliable, perhaps he could consider cooperating with them. He believed that no one would refuse the opportunity to earn more.

The value of the young master's recipes and the reception they would receive once introduced could be seen from the way these two individuals were enjoying the food. If he could collaborate with them to open a restaurant, he believed they would not refuse.

At present, this seemed to be the best solution. However, the old butler did not show any hint of his thoughts. After all, he didn't know much about these two individuals and needed to conduct a careful investigation. He couldn't hastily propose the idea; if the other party had ill intentions, it would not be beneficial for him and the young master.
