“It’s been two days and two nights. I’m afraid it won’t be easy to find him, but I’ll try my best.” Zhou Ying began to search through the various Mother God Temples.
Unfortunately, she did not know which corner King Hui had hidden in. She could not find him even until dawn.
Gu Chengrui was surprised after hearing that and pondered. “Hmm, which places are our blind spots?”
“Mountains, deserts, in short, places where Mother God Temples are rare.”
Gu Chengrui understood after listening, went to the study room, and found a simplified map of the country.
They soon pinpointed a mountain range in the north. It was high above sea level and covered in forests. There were few people there, and it was a good place to hide.
Zhou Ying looked at the area and said, “He sure can run. I’m sure he’s been traveling non-stop for the past two days.”
“If he crosses the mountain range, will he reach the Northen Continent?”
“Yes, he probably wants to borrow power from them.
“However, the Northern Continent isn’t stupid, so he must have enough bargaining chips. Since we can’t find him, let’s not worry about him in the short term.”
“He’s simply asking a tiger for its skin. Once the people of the Northern Continent invade, it’ll be difficult for them to leave.”
“He’s at wit’s end. As long as they don’t invade the capital, it’s fine. Let the Crown Prince worry about the rest.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he yawned. “Let’s hurry up and sleep. It’s almost dawn.”
Zhou Ying nodded and followed him out of the interspace.
When she woke up again, it was already late in the morning.
After Zhou Ying finished her breakfast, she went for a walk. She later brought Qi Lin to the newly bought restaurant.
“Good lords, this restaurant is imposing.” After Qi Lin got out of the carriage, he looked at the glorious restaurant in front of him and exclaimed in amazement.
Zhou Ying was also shocked when she saw the scale of the restaurant. It was even bigger than the one in the east of the city.
The entrance was massive, with pillars on both sides and an archway above plated with gold. At first glance, it gave off the feeling of being nouveau riche.
She was satisfied with the interior. The main color was white, and all the seats looked clean and comfortable to sit in.
“I’m the new owner. Are you the only two here?” Zhou Ying asked the two workers who were standing at the side curiously.
The two young workers looked at each other and stepped forward to bow. “I’m Hou Qi.” “I’m Hou Dongzhi.” “Greetings, Mistress.”
The older one quickly added, “Mistress, the original manager, accountant, and head chef of the restaurant, have all been captured by the soldiers.
“Since the restaurant basically went out of business, everyone else went home to wait for the news.
“The two of us live close to each other, so we come over every day to clean and tidy the place.”
“I see, are there still chefs in our kitchen?”
“Yes. Other than the head chef, there are four other chefs. Two of them are in charge of stir-frying, and the other two are in charge of the main staples; the ex-head chef was in charge of the main dishes.”
“I see.” Zhou Ying nodded after listening. In this way, there was no need to rush to find more workers. She then asked, “How many people are left?”
“In the kitchen, there are 20 people to wash the dishes, stoke the flames, and do other preparation work.
“For the front service, 15 of us are available.
“Also, there are ten private rooms on the second floor, and each private room has a dedicated waiter.”
“Alright. You two have the same surname. What’s your relationship with each other?”
“We’re uncle and nephew. I’m the youngest in the family, so I’m only a few years old from my nephew.”contemporary romance
“I see. You guys continue cleaning up the place. I’ll go take a look at the back.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she brought Qi Lin to the back..
