nd waved back.Coincidentally, at this very moment, Qiongshi arrived by carriage to deliver something. She greeted Mr. and Mrs. Li Laosan and then passed them without further interaction.Qiong's wife...Li Zhensheng was quick to react, scooping him up and asking, "What's wrong"

"Knife…knife!" Dong Yuanwai stammered in fear, and the crowd was also startled.

Li Zhensheng turned around and saw that it was Jia Huan carrying a cleaver.

He quickly soothed the crowd, "Don't be afraid, this is my nephew, the head chef of the restaurant. He came in with a knife to slice the roasted duck right before you!"

"Roast duck" everyone said half-believing.

Jia Huan also knew he had almost gotten into trouble, so he quickly gave a sheepish smile and stepped aside, revealing the young man behind him.

A young man was carrying a large tray, on which lay a roast duck with a reddish-brown hue. Its skin glistened with oil, just looking at it made one's mouth water...

After a short while, Dong Yuanwai and the others got to enjoy their roasted duck wraps.

They finally understood why Li Zhensheng wasn't afraid of Minghua and Zhuanzi stealing the spotlight, because his ace was so sharp!

In an instant, it harvested the tongues of that group of gourmands…

The hall and private rooms on the second and third floors of Xiankeli were packed with guests.

Just now, a young man was carrying a roasted duck along the way. Everyone could see it and was tempted by its fragrance.

At this moment, seeing Li Zhensheng come down from the third floor, many people greeted him with smiles.

"Mister Li, your restaurant has come up with another delicious dish! Why don't you tell everyone about it That roast duck just now was so fragrant! Bring us one!"

Li Zhensheng smiled and bowed to the crowd. Such a good opportunity, of course he wouldn't miss it, and quickly promoted it.

"Let me let you in on a little secret, our Xianke Lai has a private room on the third floor called "Hundred Flowers Fragrance." In the future, we will be offering exclusive private dining experiences there. These meals will feature rare ingredients and the most innovative culinary techniques. There will be one table available every five days, priced at one hundred taels. "

"Today's first table is reserved by Master Dong for a gathering with friends. The roast duck is the main course for today. To be honest, let alone everyone else, I haven't even had a chance to taste it myself. It's simply too exquisite and rare!"

"If you'd like to try it, please reserve a seat at the Hundred Flowers Banquet. There is one banquet every five days, and if you book late, you might have to wait until two or three months later."

A hundred ounces for a seat

Everyone was stunned, wondering what kind of food they would be served at such an expensive banquet.

Could it be that they're cooking with gold!

Everyone just laughed and responded with empty words, no one actually made a reservation.

Li Zhensheng didn't mind, he just did what he had to do.

In about half an hour, Dong Weng and several friends, having eaten and drunk their fill, came down from the third floor with flushed faces.

"Someone eager for a good deal quickly piped up, “Mr. Dong, how is the roasted duck Is this private room with its hundred flowers fragrance worth one hundred taels"

Don't Wang was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Oh my, I was expecting 66 taels for this seat. It seems that Brother Li has taken care of me!"

Just then, Li Zhensheng came over from behind and said, “Brother Dong is the first guest at the Baihua Xiang table, so Xianke Lai naturally wants to show our sincerity. After this, starting from the second table, it will be one hundred taels, to symbolize a hundred things going smoothly.”

“No, no!” Dong Yuanwai waved his hand vigorously and shouted loudly, “Brother Li, today I’ve been able to admire such beautiful flowers and taste such rare delicacies. I'm already beyond content! Don’t mention one hundred taels, even two hundred taels would be worth it!”

"I don't want this discount! The Hundred Flowers Fragrance's private kitchen banquet is worth collecting a hundred taels of silver from the first table!"

Having said that, he took out two silver notes of a hundred taels and slapped them directly onto the counter.

“This is today’s meal payment, plus a reservation for the second table. I want to bring my family, young and old, to try this delicious food.”

Li Zhensheng hurriedly thanked him, received the silver note, and smiled, "Brother Dong, these past few days I'll have someone come and say what the family members like, I'll let the master chef try his best to set the menu accordingly, guaranteeing that everyone in the family will be satisfied!"

"Good, good, then it's settled!" Dong Yuanwai smiled and nodded, then rubbed his hands together and said in a low voice, "The few flower pots in the upstairs private room..."

Li Zhensheng quickly waved his hand, "Brother Dong, you probably guessed it, our family couldn't possibly grow such a wonderful flower. I borrowed it from an hermit, and I have to return it tonight."

Mr. Dong was extremely disappointed and stared longingly at Li Zhensheng, unwilling to give up. "Brother Li, just help me think of a way. Just one pot, I only need one pot!"

Li Zhensheng pondered for a long time before resolutely replying, "I'll talk to that hermit and see if I can get you a pot..."

"Hahaha, great, wonderful! Brother Li, don't worry about the money, I want it all, make sure to give me an even pot!" Dong Yuanwai was overjoyed, afraid that Li Zhensheng would regret it, and hurried away with several friends.

All the diners were left utterly bewildered from start to finish.

But there were two things they still understood.

That is, Xiankelai's hundred flower fragrance has good flowers and good dishes!

Everyone started whispering and discussing, curious about what kind of flower it was and how the roasted duck could be so delicious.

Li Zhensheng, however, ignored them and didn't say another word. He took the silver note and went to the back garden.

In the back garden's parlor, the old woman was dining with Tao Hongying and Jia Yin.

Tao Hongying had been busy all morning and was a bit tired. She didn't have much of an appetite, so she just ate a bowl of white porridge with some pickled vegetables.

Jia Yin felt sorry for her mother and kept serving her food.

At this time, Li Zhensheng came to bring good news.

"Mother, sisters, the guest who smelled of a hundred flowers has left. Not only did he give us a hundred taels of silver for his meal, but he also reserved a second table."

As he spoke, he handed the banknote to Tao Hongying.

Tao Hongying took the silver note, her face filled with excitement. All fatigue vanished. She quickly asked, "Big brother, why so much Isn't it sixty-six taels of silver per table"

Li Zhensheng let out a smug laugh. "Mr. Dong said that he was satisfied after being awarded the famous flower and enjoying the delicious food. He wouldn't accept a discount and insisted on paying one hundred taels! Moreover, he pestered me to sell him a pot of flowers..."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked toward Jia Yin.

Jia Yin was happily gnawing on a rib, her mouth smeared with oil. After blinking her big eyes twice, she nodded and said, "Selling flowers! Grandma gets the silver!"

"Aiyo, my dear Funiu, you're such a big girl now! Every day you think about giving grandma money!" The old woman hugged her granddaughter, feeling both happy and touched.

Others don't know, but she knows very well.

A few days ago, I went to Peng's house to present the dowry. The granddaughter walked around the dowry box for several circles.

She was probably worried that after a few of her older brothers got married, there wouldn't be enough silver in the family to pay for the dowries.

This is what I've been thinking about, creating another income stream for the family.

The old woman wiped her granddaughter's mouth with a handkerchief and gently patted her on the back, saying, "Eat well, you don't have to worry about anything at home."

Jia Yin grinned sheepishly. She wanted to say that her family was good to her, and she wanted to repay them a thousandfold.

And besides, who wouldn't want more silver

Seeing her granddaughter like this, the old woman knew she couldn't persuade her, so she could only look to her eldest son.nimity, allowing Chen's family to send thick coats and bedding!Otherwise, they'll be crying their eyes out, turning as pale as a purple eggplant!The Chen family still wanted to give food, but the Li f...
