With the first injection of money from Xiao Yuehan, "Mingyue Restaurant" had Manager Jiang carefully select fifteen hard dishes from the more than thirty fine dishes previously available.

Shopkeeper Jiang is a very steady person. He wants to use this first batch of dishes to recall some of his old customers.

Moreover, these regular customers must be either rich or noble.

It was noon when Xiao Yuehan and Li'er arrived at the "Mingyue Restaurant" that day.

Half of the customers are already in the restaurant. The waiters are busy greeting customers and the place is already crowded with people coming and going.

Shopkeeper Jiang welcomed Xiao Yuehan into the street-facing private room they had met last time.

The restaurant, which already had a lively atmosphere, made Shopkeeper Jiang glow and feel refreshed.

Xiao Yuehan looked around the private rooms upstairs and asked Shopkeeper Jiang, "Has the jade ornament that Su Cheng took away not been returned yet?"

Shopkeeper Jiang shook his head and said, "No, and not even a tael of silver was returned.

Now it is relying on the three thousand taels of silver injected by the princess to make ends meet.

Fortunately, we have made some small profits now.”

"A meager profit?" Xiao Yuehan pondered. She didn't want a meager profit.

Shopkeeper Jiang continued, “If we don’t take back the jade and other valuable ornaments, our old customers will think that we are short of funds and have sent them to the pawnshop.

In addition, if he pays back the money he owes us, we can also launch the remaining ten or so dishes.

These dishes also have a stable customer base.

Our regular customers are all dignitaries in Chang'an City, and they all miss our cuisine very much.

We have also resumed our previous suppliers and use only the best ingredients.

So the customers also felt it, and gradually more and more customers came."

Xiao Yuehan praised: "Yes, we must carry forward the business philosophy of our ancestors.

You must not use stale and low-quality ingredients to feed the guests. But this Su Cheng?"

Xiao Yuehan thought for a moment and asked slowly, "What is Su Cheng doing now?"

“The princess wanted him to return the silver and ornaments, but he has already left Chang’an City and no one knows where he is going.

I heard he ran away with his sister."

"Run away?" Xiao Yuehan thought of Su's cruelty to her, and anger burned in her heart.

She snorted coldly: "Humph! The monk may escape but the temple cannot.

One day I will catch these two scumbags.

Let both of them receive the punishment they deserve." A hint of coldness flashed across her eyes.

After a moment, Xiao Yuehan suddenly remembered something, and she said to Li'er, "Li'er, take out the hamburger and let Shopkeeper Jiang have a taste."

"Okay." Li'er agreed and took out a few hamburgers from the small bamboo basket she brought with her and placed them on a plate on the small table.

Seeing the puzzled look in Shopkeeper Jiang's eyes, Xiao Yuehan looked at the burger on the plate and said with a smile, "Try it."

Shopkeeper Jiang looked at it but didn't know where to start. He thought for a moment and asked, "Mantou?"

Then he denied himself: "Not really."

Li Er reminded: "Didn't the princess tell you? Hamburger."

Xiao Yuehan said, "Try it first, don't worry about what it's called."

"Okay." Shopkeeper Jiang agreed to the princess, and shouted, "Bring some bowls and chopsticks."

The waiter downstairs responded and went upstairs with three sets of bowls and chopsticks.

Shopkeeper Jiang picked up the chopsticks and reached for the hamburger.

But the burger was thick, stuffed with chicken legs, tomatoes, and cabbage, and it was round and ugly. He really had no idea where to start.

Li Er smiled and said, "Boss Jiang, you don't need bowls and chopsticks to eat hamburgers."

As she spoke, she picked up a burger, demonstrated it to him, and patiently explained:

"You need to clean your hands first, then take it with your hands, pinch it, and bite it up and down at the same time. In this way, you can have the whole chicken drumstick and vegetable bun in one bite."

As she spoke, she opened her mouth wide, took a big bite, and then chewed it with enjoyment.

Shopkeeper Jiang followed her example and grabbed one and put it in his mouth. While chewing, he opened his eyes wide in surprise.

He swallowed the food in his mouth and said to Xiao Yuehan: "Such simple ingredients, combined together, are so delicious. And there is no need for bowls and chopsticks."

"Yes." Xiao Yuehan said, "This is called fast food, but it is not suitable as a dish in our restaurant.

I think if I had a smaller shop, I could just sell it.

People who do business in the market and those who go shopping to fill their stomachs should have a market because it is convenient and has food, meat, and vegetables. "

"Fast food?" Shopkeeper Jiang didn't quite understand.

“Yes, you don’t need to sit and eat slowly.

People who are on the road or working can buy one and eat while walking.

If you are tired of visiting the market, you can also sit in the store, rest and eat slowly. It is very casual.

The layout of the store should focus on comfort and have elements that can retain guests.

But I can't find such a small shop." Xiao Yuehan was a little frustrated.

Shopkeeper Jiang thought for a while, stood up, and said to Xiao Yuehan: "Princess, please follow me."

Xiao Yuehan looked at him puzzledly, but still got up and went downstairs with him.

Shopkeeper Jiang walked out of the hotel, walked a few meters to the right, and turned right again. This road was still full of restaurants. When he walked to the end, he came to two doors that were locked with iron guards.

Shopkeeper Jiang unlocked the door and pushed it open.

This is a house of about 100 square meters, filled with miscellaneous items.

Shopkeeper Jiang said, "This is where the restaurant keeps its sundries."

He pointed at the pile of things and said, "Many of these sundries are waste and can be discarded. The rest can be piled up in a remote small room on the second floor.

It should be no problem to sell the princess's steamed buns here. Besides, this is a passage with people coming and going, so there should be business."

Xiao Yuehan walked around the room, gesturing with his hands and measuring with his feet, and finally decided: "Okay, here it is."

She had a feeling that after searching for a long time, she finally got it without any effort.

Several people happily returned to the restaurant, and the waiter brought the food to the table.

Shopkeeper Jiang introduced them to Xiao Yuehan: "These are five of the dozen new dishes we have this time. Princess, please taste them and see if there are any changes that can be made."

Xiao Yuehan picked up the chopsticks and tasted the sweet and sour carp nearby. She had eaten West Lake vinegar fish in Hangzhou, which is an important dish in Zhejiang cuisine.

But the sweet and sour carp she tastes now is not inferior to the West Lake vinegar fish.

She looked at the sweet and sour carp in front of her, which had a bright red color, tender meat, sweet and sour fragrance, and a soft texture, and she praised it highly.

Seeing that she liked it, Shopkeeper Jiang said happily, "This dish is very popular in our restaurant."

Xiao Yuehan tasted several other dishes one by one. They were all excellent in taste and appearance. She felt that the "Ming Yue Restaurant" was gradually recovering.

While we were eating, the waiter downstairs ran up and said to Shopkeeper Jiang anxiously:

"Princess Huayang came and ordered the squirrel mandarin fish that we haven't recovered yet, but where is the mandarin fish in the kitchen?

But the princess refused to give in, saying that she always ordered this dish when she came here before.

Xiao Yuehan and Shopkeeper Jiang, upon hearing that it was Princess Huayang, knew they dared not offend this person, so they hurried downstairs to greet her.
