The streets of Tongcheng were bustling with traffic and pedestrians were coming and going. Although there was no longer the scorching heat of the dog days and the scorching sun was shining directly down on the streets, it was still so hot that people were sweating profusely.
Lu Wushuang was wearing a light green dress and a gauze hat of the same color on her head, looking like fresh dew on a lotus.
Vanilla is dressed in light blue, as pure as the sky. She also wears a gauze hat on her head.
The two of them walked through the bustling streets.
"Sister, where are we going?" Vanilla turned and asked Lu Wushuang, who was walking beside her.
"I heard that there is a new restaurant opened opposite Jufeng Building, called Qilixiang. I will take you to try it out and learn other people's cooking skills." Lu Wushuang always kept Vanilla's wish in mind, she said with a smile.
"Thank you, sister."
Lu Wushuang's words were like a warm spring breeze blowing into Vanilla's heart, and a touch of emotion appeared in her clear and watery eyes.
"We are sworn sisters. You are not allowed to be so polite or say thank you to me. If you really want to thank me, make more delicious food for me in the future." Lu Wushuang tilted his head and looked at Vanilla through the gauze hat, pretending to be angry.
say.
"Okay, I will make delicious food for you every day from now on." Vanilla said with a smile on her face.
"We're here, let's go in."
While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the gate of Qilixiang. Under the warm hospitality of the waiter, they directly asked for a private room on the second floor - the Plum Room.
The moment Lu Wushuang and Vanilla walked into the plum room, the door of the private room opposite opened.
The person who walked out of the private room was none other than Lu Wanqing, who had been lying on the bed for half a month.
In the past half month, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she drank either bitter soup or white porridge with salt water, plus two or three green vegetables. She finally stopped having diarrhea in the first two days. When she heard that a new restaurant had opened opposite Jufeng Tower,
, thinking that the chef's skills in a restaurant that dared to compete with Jufenglou, the first restaurant in Tiaocheng, would definitely not be much worse. So, she couldn't wait to take Xiaoxi out and come to Qilixiang for dinner.
As soon as she stepped out of the private room door, Lu Wanqing pulled Xiao Xi back to the private room.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Xiao Xi asked doubtfully.
"Shh." Lu Wanqing made a silent gesture, and she leaned into Xiao Xi's ear and whispered instructions.
Xiao Xi nodded and saw Lu Wushuang's private room through the crack in the door. After closing the door, Xiao Xi hurriedly left.
Plum room.
The decoration is fresh and elegant, and there is a picture of red plum blossoms and snow hanging on the wall. The brushwork is elegant and free, and it has texture.
"What's going on? The food hasn't been served after waiting for so long." After sitting in the plum room for a long time and drinking two or three cups of tea, the food hadn't been served yet. Lu Wushuang said impatiently as he got a little angry.
"Maybe it's a newly opened restaurant, and the business is so good. How about we find another place to eat." Vanilla advised with a hint of displeasure on her delicate face.
In the aisle outside the plum room, a waiter was walking towards the plum room with a sweat towel on his shoulder and a bowl of tender and delicious mandarin fish soup.
After taking two steps, Xiao Xi pulled her to the private room opposite the plum room.
Lu Wanqing took out ten taels of silver from her body and waved it in front of the waiter's eyes, and said with a hint of bewitchment in her delicate voice: "Do you want it?"
The waiter was also greedy for money. Ever since Lu Wanqing took out the silver, he had been staring greedily at the ingot of silver without moving it. When Lu Wanqing asked, he nodded hastily, "I want it." Tired.
It was hard work, and the salary in Qilixiang was only two taels of silver a month at most. It took him five months to make these ten taels of silver.
"As long as you let me add some ingredients to this bowl of soup, this ingot of silver will be yours."
