After entering the kitchen, Zhou Ying was stunned. She didn’t expect the stove inside to be made of white jade marble, even the countertop.
Looking at the rows of marble countertops, it looked neat and clean.
There were also shelves for dishes.
There was a storeroom on the side that stored rice and noodles, and on the left were vegetables, meat, and some cucumbers.
After that, she went to the second floor.
The decoration of all the private rooms was the same, except for the paintings hanging on the wall.
“What do you think?” Zhou Ying looked at Qi Lin and asked, “Do you think you can be the head chef here?”
Qi Lin paused for a moment before nodding excitedly. “Yes, I can! I’ve been learning from Chef Xie for more than three months now. I have no problem managing the kitchen.”
“Alright, then go find Hou Qi and the others. Inform all the original chefs here to cook their dishes for you to try.
“Remember, not only must their cooking skills be good, but the person must also be upright.
“After you’ve confirmed them, train them for half a month and change the menu to the same as the other restaurant. Try to open up at the end of the month.”
“Thank you for your trust, Mistress. I will do my best.”
“Alright, do well. Chef Xie is getting on in years. In the future, you will be the main pillar of these restaurants.”
“Understood.”
After that, Qi Lin informed Hou Qi and asked him to call for help before returning to the restaurant.
Meanwhile, Zhou Ying brought Shizhu to the south of the city.
Seeing that Zhou Dong’s business was doing well, she did not go in and went straight to the shop beside the carriage shop.
When Lai Xi saw Shizhu, he immediately came up to her. “Mistress, you’re here. Come and take a seat. Do you want to eat something?”
“There are quite a few customers. Let’s go to the back and eat while we chat.”
“Yes.” Lai Xi nodded and told the waiter. He later brought them to the backyard and asked, “What would you like to eat?”
“Give me two lamb offal soups, five sesame seed cakes, and two side dishes.
“You can order whatever you feel like adding, too.”
“Aye, please wait a moment.” After saying that, Lai Xi went to the kitchen and brought over the food Zhou Ying had ordered.
In the end, he just ordered some vegetable noodle soup.
“Why are you eating just veggies?” Zhou Ying asked. “Is your monthly allowance not enough?”
Lai Xi quickly shook his head. “When I heard that you wouldn’t want to eat whatever you sell, I didn’t believe it in the past.”
“But now that I’m in the food business, that’s basically it. I don’t even feel like eating meat these days.”
“As long as you think it’s alright; by the way, how’s business in the past two months?”
“It’s pretty good, especially the lamb and beef offal soup. Now that the weather is cold, they’re selling well.
“There’s also the roasted pork and braised pork offal.
“However, the main customers of the roasted pork and braised pork offal are those from the carriage shop.
“Usually, when they leave, they will buy some food and some wine.”
“That’s good. If you have any questions, you can look for me directly.”
“I understand.”
After that, the two of them chatted while eating. After a meal, Zhou Ying brought Shizhu home.
On the other end, after Gu Chengrui went out, he went to the national treasury to help with accounting for the inventory.
At noon, when they were resting, he went straight to the Ministry of War to find Zhou Huaiming, and he told him his guess about King Hui’s whereabouts.
After Zhou Huaiming heard this, he pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
“It’s possible. King Hui’s reputation in the country is in the dumpster, and it would be difficult for him to recruit soldiers and buy horses.
“There are too many poisonous insects in the southwest and southeast. He could die at any time from any random disease.
“Therefore, his only way out is the Northern Continent.
“Besides, the Northern Continent loves a good war, so it’ll be easier for him to stir things up..”
