Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 222: The Merchant's Daughter Wants to Marry the General 19

The reason why she didn't write an introduction to the roast duck was that she knew what Zhu Yin had eaten when he went to her restaurant. Or in other words, she remembered the preferences of the customers who were useful to her.

What an observant woman she is. It's a pity that she is not a businesswoman.

"Go and have someone check whether the lunch box Xie Rong brought back today is the same as this one."

Zhu Yin happily took on this easy job.

Li Xuanzhi looked at the four side dishes again and ordered, "Also, ask the kitchen to steam more buns tonight!"

When it was almost time for dinner at the palace, Commander Zhu came back in a hurry.

"Sit down and eat together!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Commander Zhu bowed and sat down without any hesitation. He still remembered that the prince didn't know how to eat roast duck, so he hurried back to show the prince how to eat it.

After receiving the prince's instructions, Commander Zhu threw away the silver chopsticks and started working directly.

He picked up a thin spring pancake with his left hand, picked up a piece of crispy roast duck meat with the dip in sauce and placed it on the thin spring pancake skin, then picked up some shredded green onion, crispy melon and carrot, and barely wrapped the spring pancake up and stuffed it into his mouth.

Zhu's cheeks bulged as he chewed, his thick eyebrows fluttering. After swallowing in a few gulps, he sighed, "This is how it tastes. I once marched thousands of miles on horseback, eating one bite of meat and one bite of steamed bun. This is how it tastes!"

What Commander Zhu reminisced about was not only the delicious food, but also the memories of his youth that the food brought back to him.

The capital city places too much emphasis on etiquette, and those who like to eat meat and drink wine can only do so occasionally with their brothers in the barracks.

Lee Hyun-ji didn't have the same emotion as Joo In. He rolled a roast duck roll just like Joo In did, but he was more focused on savoring the delicious food in his mouth.

Commander Zhu showed off three roast duck rolls in a row before he remembered that he had to report to the prince.

"Your Majesty, General Xie also has a roast duck, but it doesn't come with four side dishes, but a bowl of dried noodles and a small jar of seasoning sauce."

"Send dried noodles?"

Zhu thought the prince didn't know, so he took the initiative to explain: "Ms. Shen started out by selling dried noodles, and the noodle shop in the capital was just a way for her to make a name for herself. Nowadays, most of the grain stores in the capital display Ms. Shen's dried noodles, which is Miss Shen's main business."

Li Xuanzhi thought he should know what Boss Shen wanted to do.

Then Commander Zhu said, "But this time, what Boss Shen gave to General Xie was not the dried noodles sold in Beijing. It was said to be a new product developed by Guxiang Noodle House, called instant noodles."

"Oh?" Lee Hyun-ji became interested and rolled another roast duck roll, asking, "What's the difference?"

Commander Zhu scratched his head. Wasn't he in a hurry to come back and report the situation to the prince? He didn't feel comfortable eating from both sides, so he just listened to Xie Rong's general instructions and then said goodbye and left.

"They say you don't need to cook it, just soak it in hot water, mix it with sauce and you can eat it."

"Have you eaten it?"

Commander Zhu shook his head, not knowing whether he would be able to have a hot meal when he rushed to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion later.

Li Xuanzhi picked up another steamed bun and took a big bite just like he did in the military camp. He also paired it with a piece of fried dough sticks. It tasted sour and spicy and delicious.

He took another big bite, "Let's go to Guxiang Noodle House again tomorrow!"

"Okay!"

The next day after leaving work, Li Xuanzhi and Zhu Tongling came to Guxiang Noodle House on West Street again. Today, there were many customers in the noodle house, and the lobby on the first floor was full of people.

The guests on the first floor were no longer mostly local people, but mostly businessmen or low-ranking officials from nearby merchants who heard the news and rushed over to get close to Commander Zhu.

They may not know General Xie Rong or the Seventh Prince, but they know Commander Zhu who often patrols the streets.

Seeing someone trying to come over to say hello to him, Commander Zhu raised his hand to stop them decisively. He shouted at the counter, "Boss, it's still the same box as yesterday."

When Lin Shu saw the person coming, he hurried over to greet him, "Your Highness, Commander Zhu, you, you didn't tell me in advance, what do you think of Baihua Ting? The largest box has been booked by Lord Qi from the Ministry of War today!"

Baihua Ting was specially reserved by Gu Li for Xie Rong, and usually does not receive other guests.

But Lee Hyun-ji is the prince, so of course he wants the biggest box.

"It's okay. Is your boss here?" Lee Hyun-ji asked.

Lin Shu was in a more difficult situation. "My young lady is not here. She went to Yongkangfang to check on the progress of the new store's renovation."

“Is this a new store opening?”

"Yes, we have just opened a new restaurant. Commander Zhu, please come and visit us when the time comes!" Lin Shu dared to invite Commander Zhu boldly, but he would not dare to do the same to the Seventh Prince.

"Okay, okay." Commander Zhu looked at the Seventh Prince again, "Then, Prince, shall we go upstairs to eat?"

Lee Hyun-ji nodded slightly, turned and walked up the stairs.

Commander Zhu took a step back and whispered to Lin Shu, "If anyone on the second floor wants to visit our box, I hope the shopkeeper can send someone to help stop them."

"It should, it should!"

After the meal, Boss Shen did not come back, but several groups of people who wanted to visit Commander Zhu were stopped at the door, which made Li Xuanzhi keep looking at Zhu Yin.

"I didn't expect Commander Zhu to be so popular outside!"

Commander Zhu smiled stiffly on his bronze square face. "Isn't it because I am always on duty in armor, but the people here have never had the chance to see the prince? Are they blind to his greatness?"

Li Xuanzhi smiled and said nothing. The two of them left without staying here for long.

Shen Guli stayed in Yongkangfang the whole day and did not return to the noodle shop. After the inspection, he went straight back to the Lin Mansion in Yongxingfang.

In the evening, Lin Shu came to the Lin Mansion and told the young lady that the Seventh Prince and Commander Zhu had come to the noodle shop and asked if she was there.

"So soon?" Gu Li asked again, "Did you ask the prince why he wanted to see me?"

Lin Shu shook his head. "It should be just a casual question. They left without delay after eating and didn't say anything when they left."

"Got it. I'll go to the noodle shop tomorrow. You should go back and have a rest. You look so tired that your eyelids are drooping. Brother Dashu, bring out one or two apprentices. I won't feel at ease until I hand over the restaurant to you."

Lin Shu didn't care about his eyelids drooping or not. He wished he could cut off his eyelids so that he could work day and night without sleeping.

The noodle shop was built up bit by bit in his hands, and he is no longer the reckless boy who lived in the village on the mountain.

"When will Ah Niu come back?"

Shen Guli asked Yingtao to pour a cup of scented tea for Lin Shu and said with a smile, "You can't call him Ah Niu anymore. He is now in charge of the supply of all our goods in Beijing. He is our freight manager, so he should have a resounding name."

Lin Shu was stunned, "What?" He was not paying attention and his dialect came out.

Cherry covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Brother Niu asked Miss to give him a new name, Lu Zhengrong!"

Lin Shu's mouth twitched slightly, but the tact he had learned in the past few months still made him praise reflexively: "Zhengrong, a high mountain. It means high, refreshing, open, prosperous and thriving. Miss, you named it very well!"

It directly surpasses his name Lin Shu!

Seeing this, Shen Guli also covered her mouth and chuckled, "Brother Dashu, your name was given by your parents, and it has a different meaning."

Lin Shugan laughed, but the young lady saw through him.
