After the meal, everyone began to talk about the food they had just eaten.
“Has the Zuixian Residence hired a new chef? This food is even more delicious than before, full of flavors, which makes the food from other places taste bland after eating theirs.”
“I don’t know about that, I just know that their food tastes extremely good, our cooks at home could never achieve This level.”
“My Madam also recently became a fan of their dishes, she has specially ordered the staff at home to buy their food several times.”
“There’s also a pudding shop nearby, the taste of their pudding is also different from elsewhere, it’s extremely good. Compared with it, all others seem to lack some flavors.”
Wei Ruo listened quietly on the side without interrupting, but she was happy inside.
The more people talk like this, the more beneficial it is for her little workshop, not only would Fan Chengxu be more willing to cooperate with her, but it would also be easier to expand other sales channels in the future.
Meanwhile, the students from the Anzhou Academy next door also had the same lunch, with a slight difference being that they had a snake soup specially ordered by Master Lu.
However, Lu Yuhong didn’t seem to be very satisfied with this soup, as he found it bland and felt that it didn’t bring out the wonderful flavor of snake soup.
However, he was quite satisfied with the dishes from the Zuixian Residence.
“That Fan fellow, he must have hired a new cook recently, had I known, I would have gone to his restaurant to eat earlier.” Lu Yuhong somewhat regretted that he hadn’t found out sooner.
As Lu Yuhong finished his mumbling, he found Xiu Fengyuan next to him peering at the women through the bamboo fence.
“Xiu Fengyuan, what are you looking at?” Lu Yuhong asked.
“I’m looking at my younger sister.” Xiu Fengyuan immediately explained.
“What are you looking at your sister for?” Lu Yuhong asked again.
“I… my sister tends to be a bit troublesome, I want to see if she behaves well today.” Xiu Fengyuan explained, his eyes somewhat evasive.
“Really?” Lu Yuhong thought Xiu Fengyuan’s expression was a bit odd.
“Brother Lu, how was the food today? Was it to your liking?” Xiu Fengyuan deliberately changed the topic.
“The food prepared by your home cook was mediocre, but the novelty of the dishes made up for it. I’ve never tasted these wild vegetables when I was in the north. The dishes of Zuixian Residences were good, especially the plate of marinated meat, it left me wanting more.” Lu Yuhong remarked.
“When we return to the city later, I’ll have a page boy go and buy more marinated meat from that restaurant for brother Lu.” Xiu Fengyuan offered.
“What? That marinated meat isn’t from the Zuixian Residence?” Lu Yuhong asked.
“Hmm, it’s not from the Zuixian Residence. It’s from a marinated meat shop. Although the store looks usual, the flavor is great. Many wealthy families in the Government City buy marinated meat from them.” Xiu Fengyuan explained.
“That good, even better than Mr. Fan?” Lu Yuhong immediately showed interest.
Seeing Lu Yuhong’s interest, Xiu Fengyuan started sharing more about the marinated meat shop with him.
Master Lu seldom showed interest in things other than war and martial arts, Xiu Fengyuan naturally wanted to cater to his interest.

After the meal, the ladies rested for a while. Xiu Yaojun proposed that everyone should create a verse of a poem with ‘spring’ as the theme.
This proposal quickly received approval from all the ladies present.
Wei Qingwan at this time also came out of her trance.
Wei Ruo didn’t say anything. She did not originally want to participate but seeing everyone else’s enthusiasm, there was no excuse for her to refuse.
