The Second Sister of a Farmer's Family's Path to Imperial Destiny

Chapter 73 Meeting again

After traveling for several days, the two finally arrived in Suining City. The man went straight to the bedroom, shouting to the servants in the mansion to quickly prepare all the necessary items for bathing and changing clothes.

At this time, Shunan Hotpot Restaurant was still crowded with people, and the number of people queuing outside the door had reached hundreds. Everyone who came out praised this new style of hotpot, and some even wanted to dine at this hotpot restaurant every day.

But he was helpless because he was short of money. After all, if this family wanted to have a good meal, it would cost more than one or two taels of silver, which was unaffordable for ordinary people.

Guo Xin was entertaining the sons and daughters of dignitaries in the front hall. Some of them were unwilling to queue up, so they each took their own invitations and walked straight to the door, asking Guo Xin to let them in. However, the rules were already set and could not be changed at will.

So they had to ask the boys and girls to ask the people in the queue behind them if they were willing to exchange numbers with them. When the boys and girls heard this, they took out their heavy silver coins and bought numbers from the people behind them.

However, the nobles who had not received the news in advance had no time to ask their servants to help them line up, so they sat in a full row in front of Shun'an Tower.

In order to provide the distinguished guests with a better experience, Guo Xin constantly added items to the waiting area, such as screens, heaters, tea, cakes, etc.

"Sixth Master, is it really necessary to be so anxious? Isn't it just a hot pot? Just ask Aunt Mo to bring it to you directly."

Wen Yan followed quickly behind, his eyes dark and he yawned continuously.

In order to get back to Suining City, he traveled for several days and served his master for several days in a row. Now he has to rush to Shun'an Tower to eat the Lao Shenzi hotpot. It's true that the master says a word and the servant runs himself to death.

The man was wearing a green brocade robe and a fur coat with a fox fur collar. He waved his hand and said, "If I could ask Aunt Mo to bring it to me, why would I go to the restaurant to eat?"

"Aunt Mo said that this hot pot is only delicious in the restaurant, and the ingredients in the restaurant are complete, the atmosphere is good, and it will be more delicious than dining in the mansion. Moreover, Aunt Mo said that Guo Xin is unwilling to move the hot pot outside, even if I am a partner, so I can only come here."

"If it weren't for this, why would I have to rush from the capital to Suining City? Aunt Mo mentioned this hot pot several times in her letter, and it was as if it was the best in the world."

The man kept muttering to himself, paying no attention to the scene around him.

Wen Yan observed his surroundings and stammered, "Sir, is that the queue for Shun'an Building?"

Upon hearing this, the man stopped walking quickly, looked back at the long and densely packed queue, and motioned Wen Yan to go and ask.

"Auntie, are you all going to eat Shunan Hotpot?"

"Of course, we've been thinking about this for days, and this number only gives out 150 per day. We finally got a number today, so we have to have it. Are you guys here to have it too? It seems that all the numbers for today have been given out, so come back tomorrow!"

Wen Yan responded with a few words and told the man the information he had learned, with an undisguised lightness in his tone.

Unexpectedly, the man said indifferently: "It's okay. When we get there, we should talk to Guo Xin and there will be a seat. We are partners. We can't not even reserve a private room, right?"

Wen Yan had no choice but to continue following the man to the door of Shun'an Building, his face full of fatigue.

Guo Xin was entertaining the young men and women at the door. When he looked up, he saw the Sixth Prince appearing before him. His tone softened: "Sixth Prince, when did you come back? Are you coming to have dinner?"

The man nodded slightly and said nothing.

Guo Xin was in a dilemma. There were not many private rooms to begin with, and now all the boys and girls from Suining City wanted to come and try it. As a result, the private room originally reserved for Feifei and her family had been given away. The next private room would belong to the man who was now ranked first in line.

Guo Xin said to the young man, "This guest wants to go in first. I wonder if you would like to go in later? If you are willing, we can give you a 20% discount on the meal you eat in this building, and send you a basket of special braised food from our store, which you can take away."

Lang Jun was about to refuse. Didn't he spend money to buy this seat so that he could be the first to go in? Besides, his family had plenty of money to spend, so he didn't have to give up the first seat for a 20% discount.

But when he heard that braised food could be delivered, he hesitated. It was said that the braised food here was different from that in other stores, and it could not be taken away but could only be eaten in the store.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "That's fine, but I'll be the next one, and I'll take the braised food away!"

Guo Xin smiled and nodded, turned around and was about to explain to Master Liu when he saw a table of guests coming out of the private room. The waiter inside waved the blue flag in his hand, indicating that the private room had been cleaned up.

Guo Xinle said: "Sixth Master, you can go in now."

She led the man into the private room and was about to leave when she heard the man say, "Don't leave. Stay and serve me dinner."

Guo Xin's body stiffened, and he forced a smile and said, "Sixth Master, you see, I have a waiter here to serve the dishes, and you also have a special servant to serve you, so I don't need to stay, right? Besides, I have guests waiting for me outside."

Guo Xin has always disliked having too much contact with this prince. Perhaps it was because the pressure from him was too strong, or maybe she didn't like being too close to a man's aura.

The man smiled and said, "You invented these dishes, so it would be best if you serve them yourself. Besides, I hired you as my cook, so isn't it your responsibility to blanch the dishes for me?"

Guo Xin froze for a moment, but had to agree and asked the waiter who was serving here to leave.

Guo Xin used long chopsticks to scald the beef and carefully placed it in Liu Ye's bowl. He said, "Dip it in your favorite dipping sauce and you can eat it."

When Guo Xin put down the piece of meat, she retracted her arms and intentionally avoided touching the man, with a stiff face.

The man picked up the meat slice and ate it slowly, then said, "It's really good, but what did I do to you, Miss Guo? Why do you look so scared? I didn't ask you to do anything, did I? But I was just a cook for a few days, so I still treat you well."

Guo Xin smiled and said, "Sixth Master, you are worrying too much. It's just that this is my first time serving a noble of such a different status and position, and I am a little worried about making mistakes."

"Oh?" The man stretched out the ending tone and said, "Young lady, do you know who I am?"

"Of course not. It's just that Sixth Master has an extraordinary demeanor, even more noble than the prefect. The fur he wears is not something that an ordinary noble can wear. This can be deduced."

The man chuckled and said, "Miss Guo really has a keen eye!"

Guo Xin didn't say anything and picked up a piece of beef and put it on the plate.

The man did not move his chopsticks and said, "Since Madam Guo has a keen eye, I wonder if you have found a man who is over 40 years old, was once an orphan, and has a wealthy family?"
