The restaurant had chosen an auspicious day to open for business, and the Sun couple were extremely busy on this day. The wealthy merchants in the capital who paid for the restaurant's decorations also enjoyed the treatment they deserved.
In the private room of the Sun Family Restaurant, Qiao Jiancheng brought his wife and daughter along. Sun Dezhao, Wu Xiulan, and Si Muran came to thank him.
"Boss Qiao, I know you're in the medicinal herbs business. But do you know that this medicinal herb can also be used in restaurants and will be very popular?”Si Muran looked mysterious.
Qiao Jiancheng looked at Si Muran curiously. His wife and daughter also sized Si Muran up curiously. Si Muran snapped her fingers and the waiters came over with some things.
"Boss Qiao, please take a look. This is our restaurant's new medicinal cuisine.”Si Muran pointed at the bowls of herbal dishes on the table and said,""This so-called medicinal cuisine is a perfect fusion of medicinal herbs and ingredients to achieve the effect of treating diseases. For example, this bowl of heat-relieving soup has the effect of clearing heat and promoting blood circulation. It is most suitable for drinking in summer. Also, this white fungus and snow pear soup was most suitable for Miss Qiao. If she ate it often, it would have a beauty effect.”
Si Muran's words made everyone restless. Qiao Jiancheng picked up the spoon and took a sip. He couldn't help but praise,""Good, indeed good!"
Sun Dezhao and Wu Xiulan were delighted. Si Muran said,""I've already spoken to Big Brother Sun. In the future, all the medicinal herbs needed for this medicinal cuisine will be provided by Boss Qiao. Isn't it better for us to benefit from each other?”
Qiao Jiancheng nodded. Miss Si is indeed extremely intelligent. I admire you!”
"If you don't dare, then we won't disturb your meal.”Si Muran nodded slightly and left with Sun Dezhao and Wu Xiulan.
After leaving the private room, Sun Dezhao couldn't hide the joy on his face as he praised,""Miss Si, you're really amazing. We've already met many merchants, and they're all full of praise for this medicinal cuisine.”
Si Muran smiled and thought to herself that it was fortunate that she had an encyclopedia in her head. What kind of medicinal cuisine could she not have? She could even prepare a Manchu Han Imperial Feast.
"Yeah, let's celebrate when you go back tonight. Recently, we were busy with the restaurant and didn't have time to care about Tianqi. However, sister was thoughtful and made many toys for Tianqi, which saved us a lot of trouble.”Wu Xiulan said with a faint smile on her face.
Si Muran knew that if she stayed behind, Wu Xiulan would be even more afraid of her. It was good that she would take advantage of tonight to make things clear.
"This is what I should do, but sister is being too polite. I still have a few recipes and herbal dishes to write, so I'll go over first!”Si Muran took the opportunity to leave.
Si Muran thought that they had helped her when she was in trouble, so she remembered some useful medicinal recipes as a parting gift for the Sun couple.
Si Muran returned to the Sun family home after she was done with the herbal recipes. The Sun family's banquet was indeed luxurious. Si Muran looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table and Wu Xiulan pulled her to sit down kindly.
After everyone was seated, Si Muran handed the medicinal cuisine recipe she had written to Wu Xiulan and said,""Sister, here are some commonly used medicinal recipes. You can change them every month. It's enough for you to use for eight to ten years! You see, the business of this restaurant is also on the right track. It's not good for me to stay in the residence. Therefore, I plan to leave the capital and find another way to make a living. I'll take it as a farewell to you guys tonight."
Wu Xiulan was stunned. Sun Dezhao was also stunned for a moment. Then, Wu Xiulan asked in surprise,""Sister, are you leaving?"
Si Muran nodded." I don't have any relatives or friends in the capital. Thank goodness you two took me in." Now that the restaurant's business is improving day by day, I've taught you everything I know. I think it's time for me to leave.”
Wu Xiulan wanted to say something but hesitated. She looked a little embarrassed. "Sister, just say what you want to say." Si Muran asked.”
Sun Dezhao just watched quietly from the side and did not say anything. Wu Xiulan sighed and said,"I won't hide it from Younger Sister. A large family in the capital heard of Younger Sister's abilities and wanted Younger Sister to go to that family's kitchen to give pointers. That family had said that they would give five hundred taels of silver as a reward after giving him guidance! When I heard that there was such a good thing, I agreed to it for you.”
When Si Muran heard Wu Xiulan's words, she knew that she couldn't shirk her responsibility. Seeing Wu Xiulan agree like this, it was also for his own good. Five hundred taels of silver was enough for his future expenses.
Sun Dezhao thought that Si Muran was unwilling, so he reprimanded his wife.""Why didn't you ask for Miss Si's opinion before making your own decision?”
Wu Xiulan didn't expect Si Muran to suddenly leave. She was just a little anxious that the rich family would blame her for breaking her promise. Si Muran waved her hand and smiled." It's a waste not to earn 500 taels of silver. I still have to thank Sister." Isn't this a big bargain for me?”
The couple heaved a sigh of relief when they heard Si Muran's sigh of relief. Wu Xiulan gratefully shook Si Muran's hand. Si Muran smiled back at him. She thought that she was returning the favor to the couple. There was nothing wrong with earning money.
Si Muran's mood improved when she thought of the five hundred taels.
The next day, the carriage from a wealthy family came to pick up Si Muran. Si Muran looked at the luxurious carriage and knew that the wealthy family Wu Xiulan was talking about must be very rich. Looking at the carriage in front of her, the cloth on the carriage roof was embroidered with gold thread. He was a complete tycoon.
Si Muran sighed at the extravagance of these wealthy nobles and could not help but shake her head as she got into the carriage. Needless to say, the decorations in the carriage were very comfortable and pleasing to the eye! Si Muran crossed her legs and walked unsteadily towards the manor of the rich family.
Just as Si Muran was about to fall asleep, the carriage stopped. The coachman's voice pulled Si Muran out of her half-conscious state.""Miss, please get out of the car."
Si Muran lifted the curtain and jumped down. She stretched lazily and inadvertently glanced at the luxurious mansion. " Ah…" Si Muran stared at the gilded plaque and cried out involuntarily.
The Imperial Residence! Pei Chenshuo's palace! Was there a mistake? Si Muran slapped her head. She was not dreaming. It was really Pei Chenshuo's palace!
"Miss, please." The coachman politely extended his hand to invite Si Muran in.
Si Muran touched her face and smiled awkwardly.""Um, I suddenly remembered that I left something important at the Sun family. I'll be back soon!"
Si Muran was about to run away when she bumped into Pei Chenshuo. Si Muran secretly gritted her teeth. This was really a narrow road for enemies.
Pei Chenshuo's guards blocked Si Muran's way. Pei Chenshuo stared at Si Muran carefully and his lips suddenly curled up slightly."It's you? You want to run after biting this king?"
Si Muran remembered that she and Pei Chenshuo had met outside the Minister's residence. In order to escape Si Muran, she blurted out anxiously. She did not expect Pei Chenshuo to have such a good memory!
Si Muran thought about it and realized that Pei Chenshuo did not recognize her. She felt lucky.
"I didn't know it was wangye. Wangye, please forgive me and let me go.”Si Muran lowered her head and apologized sincerely.
Pei Chenshuo raised his eyebrows and looked down at Si Muran.""Why are you here?"
The coachman walked up to Pei Chenshuo and bowed respectfully,""The housekeeper heard that this young lady's cooking skills were outstanding, so he invited this young lady to the residence to give pointers to the kitchen.”
Pei Chenshuo nodded.”Pei Chenshuo glanced at Si Muran and asked,""Then why are you running?"
Si Muran thought to herself,'It'd be strange if I didn't run. If I had known that she was coming to the Prince's mansion, I would have given her a mountain of gold. She wouldn't have come.'
However, she was just thinking about it. If she said it out loud, Si Muran knew that she would not be able to see the sun tomorrow.
Si Muran smiled sheepishly." I'm just a country bumpkin who hasn't seen much of the world. It's inevitable that I'm a little afraid when I see how solemn and luxurious this palace is."”
Si Muran acted as if she had never seen the world before. She was also very careful in front of Pei Chenshuo, afraid that she would say something wrong and anger him.
Pei Chenshuo did not hear anything wrong with her words and said,""The Imperial Residence doesn't eat people, what is there to be afraid of! Come in!"
As she spoke, she walked ahead. Si Muran clenched her fists and knew that she couldn't escape this time, so she could only follow in resentfully.
"I heard that the Sun Family Restaurant, which has recently become famous, became famous because of your finger?”Pei Chenshuo asked with interest.
Si Muran did not expect Pei Chenshuo to have heard of her reputation. It was obvious how popular the Sun Family Restaurant was recently!
"I dare not accept it." Si Muran replied humbly.
Pei Chenshuo glanced at her. This woman had an ordinary appearance and nothing special about her, but she was quite capable. "What's your name?" Pei Chenshuo sat down on a stone bench in the garden and asked Si Muran.
One of the servants served a cup of tea and placed it on the stone table.
"My name is Si Ting." Si Muran replied carefully.
Pei Chenshuo's hand that was holding the teacup paused, and his scrutinizing eyes fell on Si Muran. Si Muran cursed in her heart. Could it be that Pei Chenshuo had discovered something? If he had known earlier, he would have changed his surname!
"Your surname is Si too?" Pei Chenshuo asked Si Muran after a moment of absentmindedness.
"Can't a commoner's daughter have the surname Si?" Si Muran blurted out and felt that her words were strange. She felt as if she was being unreasonable.
Pei Chenshuo chuckled and took a sip of tea.""You're interesting. Since you're here, why don't you let me see your ability?”
Pei Chenshuo put down the teacup and ordered the servants,""Men, bring Miss Si to the kitchen!”
Si Muran heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, Pei Chenshuo did not notice anything. Si Muran followed the servant to the kitchen and complained in her heart. Why didn't she ask which family it was? Great, he had hit the muzzle!
Just as she was thinking about it, she arrived at the back kitchen of the Prince's mansion. Si Muran raised her head and looked at the kitchen in the Imperial Residence. It was indeed different from the kitchen of an ordinary civilian's house!
The servants came in and out in an orderly manner. The kitchen workers and cooks were all experts. Si Muran secretly looked down on these young masters who really knew how to enjoy themselves. It was as the saying went, we don't understand the world of foodies!
"This is Miss Si, who came to the residence to teach cooking.”The servant said to a master in the kitchen who was nearly fifty years old.
Si Muran guessed that this person should be the kitchen manager. Just as she was thinking about it, she heard the servant say,""Miss Si, this is the chief chef of the palace, Chief Chen. If there's anything, just tell him."
"Alright, thank you." Si Muran thanked him politely.
Manager Chen was polite to Si Muran and didn't seem to be putting on airs at all. "Miss Si, we've heard of your name. Miss Si, please enlighten us and let us change the taste of His Highness.”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184: 24PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 55PM #
