"Even if you want to open a Lingyun Villa or a snack bar in Beijing, it's no problem."

Seeing that Qiao Yu and Gu Feng didn't say anything, King Qi added.

Gu Feng looked at Qiao Yu first.

But Qiao Yu declined almost immediately: "Sorry, Your Majesty. I am very satisfied with my current life, and I believe my husband is the same. Right, husband?"

Suifeng was a little surprised at Qiao Yu's straightforwardness.

That’s the capital city!

The ancestors must be very happy to see the prince promise so many good conditions.

This was the first time that Qiao Yu called Gu Feng "husband" in front of outsiders.

Gu Feng naturally supported Qiao Yu. Besides, he didn't want to go to Beijing.

By then, my husband will be busy cooking for others every day and will have no time to stay at home.

He looked at the King of Qi with a firm gaze: "Yes. Please take back your order, Your Majesty."

The King of Qi didn't seem very surprised.

But I still want to persuade him: "Actually, I also feel that you are unlikely to be tempted, but being able to move your family to Beijing is something that many people dream of. Do you really not need to reconsider it?"

Qiao Yu nodded: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but my husband and I have our own plans.

The capital city is indeed great, but I am just a country boy who just wants to live a lazy life every day.

After eating, she sleeps. After sleeping, she researches new food and grows vegetables. She goes up the mountain to hunt with her husband. When she has money, she travels around to see the world.

We will definitely go see the prosperity of the capital if we have the chance, but I don’t think I will be able to get used to living there.”

Qiao Yu almost had the expression "I have money and land now, why should I go to the capital and serve a bunch of nobles in the palace in fear and trepidation" written all over his face.

The King of Qi sighed.

"I understand. What Boss Qiao wants is freedom."

Qiao Yu didn't dare to nod, but just smiled slightly.

Seeing their resolute attitude, the King of Qi stopped trying to persuade them and asked gently, "Boss Qiao, since you are not going to the capital with me, can you sell me some recipes for the food in your restaurant?"

Qiao Yu quickly said, "Whatever dish you like, I'll just write it down for you. You're Hengzi's benefactor, so why talk about money?"

King Qi signaled Suifeng with his eyes, and Suifeng took out two silver bills without saying a word and placed them in front of Qiao Yu.

Each is one thousand taels.

"Here is my private money. I'll buy your fried dough sticks, beggar's chicken, salty braised pork and...the recipe for stir-fried pork intestines."

The King of Qi felt a little embarrassed when talking about the stir-fried pork intestines.

After all, I had shown too much disgust before.

This is a "forced purchase".

Five hundred taels for a prescription is considered a high price.

Before, Xu Yuan bought the braised pork recipe from him for only two hundred taels.

But the money was a bit hot, and Qiao Yu was hesitating whether to take it or not.

The King of Qi asked, "Why, five hundred taels is not enough?"

Qiao Yu quickly smiled and said, "That's enough, that's enough. Thank you, Your Majesty. I'll write you a prescription right away."

Suifeng went to get paper and pen.

Qiao Yu quickly wrote down four prescriptions.

A recipe for braised pork was also included.

The King of Qi looked at them one by one and was very satisfied.

"Boss Qiao, even though you don't want to go to the capital to be the head chef, I will definitely tell my brother about your cooking skills when I return to the capital. If my brother wants to eat, you must not refuse to come to the capital."

Qiao Yu widened her eyes in shock: "Go...to the capital to cook for the emperor?!"

The King of Qi smiled and said, "Yes, that is very possible. I will write to you when the time comes, and you must not refuse."

"Yes."

Qiao Yu said loudly.

But he felt extremely miserable. Being a prince was not enough. When the time came and he really had to cook for the emperor, he was afraid that something might go wrong.

He is the emperor who can decide life and death at will!

But even if he had ten times the courage, he would not dare to tell the King of Qi that he would not go.

Qiao Yu followed Gu Feng back home in a daze.

Fortunately, I had asked Su Qing to prepare specialties for King Qi earlier, so he didn't have to choose them again himself.

When she got home, Qiao Yu went into the bedroom.

Lying on the bed dejectedly and empty-headed.

All I could think about was going to the capital to cook for the emperor.

He is a commoner, how could he have the right to cook for the emperor?

If it doesn’t suit the emperor’s taste, he will be killed.

The more Qiao Yu thought about it, the sadder she became.

Gu Feng actually didn't quite understand Qiao Yu's discomfort. After all, in his opinion, being able to cook for the emperor was a great favor and a supreme honor.

But he still lay down next to Qiao Yu and held him in his arms at the first moment.

"Is Qiao'er afraid of the emperor?"

Qiao Yu uttered a sullen "hmm".

"What if he doesn't like me and wants to chop off my head? What if that gets you guys involved?"

Qiao Yu shrank into Gu Feng's arms.

But in this weather, it gets hot in a short while.

Qiao Yu silently pushed Gu Feng a little further away.

Gu Feng: ...

“When I was in the army, I heard that the current emperor was a wise ruler.

You see, the prince is so reasonable, so his brother can’t be that bad either.

Moreover, the emperor loves his people like his own children, and he will not necessarily ask you to go to the capital just for a meal.

Even if he asks you to go, our whole family will go with you, and we will treat it as a trip to the capital."

After hearing what Gu Feng said, Qiao Yu felt much better.

"Thank you, husband, you really comforted me.

Now that the King of Qi has left, let's start making arrangements to go to Nanyang.

I really need a change of place and a change of mood."

"Well, it's up to you."

-

Xu Yuan came to Qiao Yu's house in the afternoon.

When he and Xu Ning heard that the King of Qi had stayed with them for two days, they were shocked.

"Your Highness Prince Qi is said to be the most handsome man in the capital. Is that true?"

Xu Yuan asked quickly.

Qiao Yu smiled and looked at Gu Heng who was playing in the yard.

"You should ask my son Heng about this. He has the most say."

"The rumors are indeed true." This was the first time Gu Feng had ever commented on someone's appearance.

Xu Ning saw that her husband was very sorry for not meeting the prince, so she sighed softly, "If only we had left earlier."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan quickly touched his hand and said, "I don't really want to see the King of Qi. It has nothing to do with us anyway."

"Let's not talk about him anymore. Brother Gu and I are going to Nanyang again in two days. Do you want to come with us?"

Qiao Yu quickly changed the subject.

Xu Ning immediately said, "Okay, I spent half a month in Nanyang last time, and after I came back, Xiao Huan and Xiao Xi kept wanting to go there."

Xu Yuan also nodded: "You can take my family's boat, and we can visit the shops along the coast."

A copy of each store's monthly account books was handed over to Qiao Yu.

Because the decoration and store prices are not low, I haven’t made back my investment yet, but the monthly profit is not low either.

Just went to see if there is any room for optimization.
