Leng Ruo Li and Jun Mo Han arrived at the Drunken Immortal Tower ahead of everyone else.
Leng Ruo Li sought out Manager Hu and gave him all the seasonings she had brought. Coincidentally, this Manager Hu was also a former chef. She briefly explained to him how to use these seasonings, and he quickly understood.
She also informed Manager Hu about the Su family's hundred-day banquet to be held there. Manager Hu told her that Su Xun had already sent servants to bring the ingredients for the banquet from his mansion to the Drunken Immortal Tower. He was already aware of the matter, which saved her a lot of trouble.
As soon as Leng Ruo Li and Jun Mo Han arrived at the Drunken Immortal Tower and finished giving instructions, Su Xun arrived with his entourage. Several waiters busied themselves arranging seats for them.
At this moment, Leng Jin Yu also entered with her two maternal uncles and two maternal aunts.
"Li'er, I was looking for you just now. I didn't expect you to arrive at the Drunken Immortal Tower even faster than us," Madam An said with a beaming smile.
"Hehe! Li'er had to come over first to arrange some things," Leng Ruo Li replied with a smile.
"You came over to arrange things? Isn't this Drunken Immortal Tower an establishment under Prince Leng?" Madam An asked curiously.
"Sister-in-law, you forgot. Li'er is betrothed to Prince Qing," Madam Jiang reminded her from the side.
"Oh, oh, look at this elder sister-in-law's memory, I forgot. You are betrothed to His Highness Prince Leng," Madam An said, gently tapping her forehead.
Leng Ruo Li smiled at them.
"Elder Sister-in-law, this Drunken Immortal Tower is now my restaurant. His Highness Prince Leng damaged things in my Ming Yue Courtyard and compensated me with this restaurant under his name."
After speaking, Leng Ruo Li playfully winked at Madam An.
"Oh, so that's how it is! You've struck gold then! I heard this Drunken Immortal Tower makes a fortune every day."
Madam An was very surprised. She glanced around at the people present and deliberately lowered her voice.
Even Leng Jin Yu and Xia Shan Yi were very astonished.
At this moment, Jun Mo Han walked over, and the group immediately stopped talking and went to greet him.
"This subject (This subject's wife) pays respects to His Highness Prince Leng!" they said, cupping their fists in greeting.
Jun Mo Han strode over and helped Leng Jin Yu and Xia Shan Yi up.
"Father-in-law, my two uncles and two aunts, we are all family, there's no need for formalities."
Jun Mo Han said in a gentle tone.
"Uncles, aunts, and Father, let's go sit on the second floor."
"We'll do as you say."
They nodded and said with a smile.
Subsequently, Leng Ruo Li led them to the Heavenly Chamber on the second floor.
This Heavenly Chamber was the same as before, not open to outsiders. Only those from their own circle could dine in this chamber.
After they were seated, the waiters immediately served them tea. Leng Ruo Li, fearing they would feel uncomfortable around Jun Mo Han, went out and found two decks of playing cards from her system space. She brought them into their chamber.
"Li'er, what are those two strange square things in your hand?" Xia Ling Xuan asked curiously.
"Uncle, these are called playing cards. I was afraid you might be bored, so I plan to teach you a game."
After Leng Ruo Li finished speaking, everyone curiously came over to look.
Leng Ruo Li took out the playing cards and diligently taught everyone to recognize them: this 'A', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6'... these are hearts, spades... as long as everyone recognizes the symbols on these cards, they will quickly learn to play.
Then, she explained the rules of the game to everyone, and they quickly learned.
Even her father and Jun Mo Han were full of interest and began playing with them.
"Uncles, aunts, Father, you all play at your leisure. I'll go and personally cook a few dishes for everyone." Leng Ruo Li said to them.
"Go, go quickly, and come back quickly!"
They all replied to her.
Leng Ruo Li: "..."
These people really are...
Alas, she suddenly regretted teaching them how to play cards.
A moment later, Leng Ruo Li arrived at the Drunken Immortal Tower's main kitchen. Seeing a large fish head, beef, and chicken in the kitchen, she remembered that she hadn't made chopped chili fish head in a long time. So, she took out the double-colored chopped chili she had stored in her kitchen space. Then she started washing and marinating the fish... After that, she also made sour soup beef slices and mushroom stewed chicken. As soon as these three dishes were done, the kitchen was filled with a fragrant aroma, leaving the chefs in the kitchen stunned, forgetting their actions.
Leng Ruo Li left a small portion of each dish for the chefs to try. After tasting them, they all wore expressions of shock.
"Oh my heavens, is our new proprietress truly a young lady of the inner chambers? How come I feel like she's the real chef? Although I am known as the number one chef in the capital, my dishes truly cannot compare to the ones made by Miss Leng. Miss Leng's dishes are perfect in color, aroma, and taste. Not only are they delicious, but they also look very appealing."
The head chef of the Drunken Immortal Tower praised Leng Ruo Li's dishes and even joked that if Leng Ruo Li were to work at the Drunken Immortal Tower, she would steal his job.
With that, everyone burst into laughter.
Leng Ruo Li also laughed along.
She suddenly realized that these chefs were quite humorous in their speech.
Afterwards, Leng Ruo Li called two waiters to come in and help her carry the dishes to the Heavenly Chamber on the second floor.
At this time, dishes were also being served to the tables for banquets in the restaurant.
When Leng Ruo Li returned to the chamber, they were still playing cards, and they were getting more engrossed. To facilitate the waiters in serving dishes, they had all moved to the tea table to play.
Leng Ruo Li brought her homemade dishes to the table. She had called them to eat three times, but they were still reluctant to put down their playing cards.
Her expression immediately turned dark. Jun Mo Han glanced at Leng Ruo Li's dark expression, sensing she was about to get angry, and immediately took the lead in putting down the cards, reminding them, "Uncles, aunts, father-in-law, let's eat first. We can continue after we've eaten."
"Yes, yes, yes, let's eat first," Leng Jin Yu and the others echoed.
Hehe! They dared not anger Li'er.
Otherwise, if she had more fun things, she wouldn't be willing to share them with them.
Thus, everyone found their seats. The people from the Xia Mansion took a careful look at the delicacies laid out on the table and were stunned.
"Li'er, did you make all these dishes?" Xia Ling Xuan asked with a look of surprise.
"Yes!"
Leng Ruo Li nodded.
"How did you learn to make these dishes?" Xia Shan Yi also asked with a surprised expression.
"I learned it from a book. What's wrong, Uncle?"
Leng Ruo Li said with furrowed brows.
"These three dishes are chopped chili fish head, sour soup beef slices, and mushroom stewed chicken. Your mother used to make these three dishes as well."
Xia Shan Yi sighed and said.
"However, she only made them once. But because your maternal grandfather was almost assassinated, she never cooked again."
Upon hearing this, Leng Ruo Li was stunned.
Could it be that her mother was also a transmigrator from modern times?
