Xu Qing looked puzzled. “You haven’t eaten yet. How do you know it’s not tasty?”
Qiao Yanhui didn’t answer. He just put on a look that said it wasn’t tasty.
Xu Qing tasted it. The taste was indeed ordinary. He couldn’t be blamed for saying that it wasn’t tasty. When she was a doctor, she had power and influence. Moreover, she was someone who enjoyed the pleasures in life. How many chefs had come to her door to cook delicious food for her? Now, she had transmigrated to this ancient country. She was glad that Qu Feng was good at cooking. In addition, “Little Xu Qing” had not eaten any delicacies, so this body wasn’t so picky. Otherwise, she would really find the food difficult to swallow.
Initially, she thought that the food such a big hotel would definitely taste good, but she was disappointed. Xu Qing put down her chopsticks. “These dishes look exquisite, but they really don’t taste good.”
The surrounding people couldn’t help but click their tongues. Even the food at Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant wasn’t tasty? What did they usually eat?
Xu Qing ignored the discussions of the others and picked up some food for Qiao Yanhui. “Little Hui, even if it’s not tasty, you have to eat some. Otherwise, you’ll go hungry.”
Qiao Yanhui’s eyes lit up when he saw that Xu Qing was picking up food for him. He picked up his bowl and started eating. Xu Qing was very helpless. He was really a fool.
Xu Qing’s words attracted the attention of the manager of Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant. The manager had a shrewd look on his face and it was obvious that he had a bad temper. He walked to Xu Qing’s side and said, “Miss, I wonder if there’s anything about our food that you’re dissatisfied with?” The manager was polite, but his tone was very dissatisfied. After all, their hotel was a star-class hotel and was famous.
Xu Qing picked up more food for Qiao Yanhui, indicating for him to continue eating. When Qiao Yanhui saw Xu Qing picking up more food for him, he put away his dissatisfaction from being interrupted and lowered his head to continue eating.
Mr. Song felt a chill down his spine. For some reason, he subconsciously looked around, but didn’t find anything. Then, he continued to talk to Xu Qing.
Xu Qing smiled and said, “The dishes are exquisite, but the taste is a little bad.”
Mr. Song’s expression improved when he heard the first half of the sentence, but when he heard the second half, his expression immediately turned cold. He said in a low voice, “What’s bad about the taste? I think your companion is enjoying it.”
When Qiao Yanhui, who was eating happily, heard this, he immediately looked up and said, “That’s because any food my wife put in my bowl is tasty.”
Mr. Song’s expression turned even uglier. He felt that these two were here to cause trouble! The surrounding customers were also looking over curiously.
“Why do you care about my judgment? After all, everyone’s preferences are different, and their understanding of delicacies is different. I only said that because I happened to have eaten better delicacies.” Xu Qing smiled, but she was reminiscing about the delicacies she mentioned. It made people wonder what the delicacies she mentioned were like.
Someone around couldn’t help but say, “Which restaurant is it? It’s food even more tasty than the food at the Heavenly Fragrance Hotel?”
Xu Qing continued to revel, “In my early years, I was lucky enough to eat in a remote private restaurant a few times. Its food was really tasty.”
“Where is it? Let’s try it and see if it’s as good as you say it is.” Mr. Song said with an unfriendly expression.
Xu Qing continued, “The address is no longer important because the restaurant has already changed locations. I was able to taste it back then because I wasn’t in good health at that time. That shop customized a unique herbal tonic for me to nourish my health. It didn’t take long for me to recover.”
Everyone was even more puzzled. Herbal tonic? That was worse than medicine.
“There are also different types of herbal tonics.” Xu Qing saw everyone’s doubts and answered, “Have you guys eaten meat-flavored eggplants before? There’s also a type of duck soup with herbs added…” Xu Qing mentioned a few dishes, which piqued everyone’s interest.
Seeing that the atmosphere was about right, Xu Qing smiled and said, “Actually, it’s not difficult for you all to try it. That restaurant happened to change its location to our town. It’s called Golden Jade Restaurant, but I don’t know when it’ll open.”
Xu Qing’s words ignited everyone’s hope and their faces were filled with anticipation.
Mr. Song watched Xu Qing and was slightly confused. He didn’t tell that this woman wanted to open a hotel. Could it really be an accident?
At this moment, in a private room on the second floor, a gorgeous man suddenly laughed and said, “Interesting. This woman is quite business-minded.”
